Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1200: Returning Empty-Handed from a Treasure Mountain Is Not My Style

The piercing screams gradually grew weaker. Dozens of people were no longer able to stand; they lay on the ground like charred remains. Some had already lost their breath, while the rest were barely hanging on, clinging desperately to life.

The fierce lightning engulfed Qin Yi, making it impossible to see his figure.

Yun Qinglian's face was full of worry, her clenched fists so tight that her knuckles turned white.

However, in the next second, a foot stepped out from the cover of lightning, followed by Qin Yi's entire body emerging, unharmed. The corners of his mouth curled into a slight, proud smile.

"Are you, are you alright?" Yun Qinglian ran over, looking at Qin Yi nervously.

Qin Yi slowly shook his head.

Yun Qinglian breathed a heavy sigh of relief, her eyes a bit red. She had truly been scared just now.

However, after relaxing, she was filled with endless shock. Qin Yi had actually ignored the ferocious power of thunder and lightning. It must be known that these dozens of people were all strong, yet not one of them could withstand it.

In fact, Qin Yi wasn't necessarily able to withstand it either, but his body was unparalleled. Coupled with the Thunderstorm Array he had set up on himself, the lightning that attacked him was redirected instantly elsewhere. In other words, he didn't actually bear it; as long as the lightning touched him, he would frantically transfer it to others. At most, he was just a conductor.

"Cough..." A slight cough made Qin Yi instinctively turn his head to look.

"Ha, you're still not dead?" Qin Yi chuckled lightly.

The one who coughed was a small, shriveled old man. He was already thin and small, and now his entire body was smoking, charred black, like a burnt monkey.

The small old man looked at Qin Yi, his eyes filled with extreme malice.

His internal organs were shattered by the lightning, only relying on a bit of power to protect his heart, barely hanging on to life. In his current state, there was no hope of survival.

Qin Yi crouched down, teasingly saying, "You're very smart, but also very greedy. Otherwise, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"You won't..." The small old man opened his mouth, but before he could finish, he died, the little power protecting his heart dissipating completely.

The corners of Qin Yi's mouth lifted slightly, with no hint of guilt on his face. If their roles were reversed and he were in their hands, would they let him go? As the saying goes, he who kills must be killed.

Zhu Lao Liu also didn't die. This guy had strong horizontal training and combined with his earth attribute cultivation technique, his defensive power was astonishing. Although he was heavily injured, when Qin Yi looked at him, there was a plea in his eyes.

Qin Yi smiled, "You're smart, knowing how to show weakness. But you didn't hide well enough. I know you're more insidious than that monkey, so I can't let you stay." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Zhu Lao Liu's eyes suddenly turned venomous, like a vengeful ghost seeking revenge.

Yun Qinglian broke out in a cold sweat from Zhu Lao Liu's fierce eyes; it was truly terrifying.

Qin Yi, however, smiled indifferently, wielding his fingers like a knife, slashing through the air. A burst of purple light erupted, directly beheading him.

As for the others, Qin Yi had lost interest. Most had already died, and the rest were just dragging on their last breath; their internal organs and Qi Seas were shattered by the power of thunder and lightning. Surviving would be a miracle.

Qin Yi's figure flashed to the passage entrance, where he sealed a defense array to stop external people from entering.

Then, he returned, looking at the Thunder Tree.

Yun Qinglian cautiously asked, "You're not still thinking about the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, are you?"

Qin Yi looked at her, "Don't you want it?"

"Wanting and getting it are two different things. It's too dangerous; I think we should forget about it. The Heavenly Thunder Fruit is precious, but risking your life for it is not worth it. I know your cultivation is strong, but what you faced was only the peripheral lightning. The closer you get to the Thunder Tree, the stronger the lightning power becomes. I suggest not taking the risk."

Qin Yi laughed, "Won't you regret leaving now?"

Yun Qinglian replied with annoyance, "Even if I regret it, it's better than losing my life. Let's leave here. I won't let you take any risks either."

"True, but I can't leave empty-handed from this treasure mountain. I must obtain the Heavenly Thunder Fruit."

Yun Qinglian angrily said, "You're mad! Even if it's precious, is risking your life worth it?"

"It's worth it!" Qin Yi replied.

Yun Qinglian didn't understand that Qin Yi was doing this not for himself, but for Duan Yiyi. To turn the dead into living bones would require extraordinary treasures. If saving Duan Yiyi genuinely needed the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, giving up now would leave him with lifelong regret.

For Qin Yi, Duan Yiyi could die for him; could he not take risks for Duan Yiyi?

Qin Yi slowly exhaled, stepping towards the Thunder Tree, his aura climbing, radiant purple light swirling around him.

Yun Qinglian bit her lip tightly, watching Qin Yi intently.

Qin Yi suddenly paused; one more step forward and he would enter the Thunder Zone.

He only paused for a second, then stepped forward, triggering the Thunder Zone. Immediately, lightning as thick as silver snakes surged from the ground, as if with eyes, hurtling towards Qin Yi.

Qin Yi wouldn't sit still; he punched forward, his fist surging like rolling dry thunder.

"Boom!"

The ferocious lightning was actually shattered by Qin Yi's punch.

However, what Qin Yi didn't expect was that his punch, while shattering a few bolts of lightning, had seemingly stirred up a hornet's nest. The entire Thunder Zone became agitated; with the Thunder Tree at its center, the ground within a ten-meter radius erupted with lightning.

In an instant, the area within ten meters was nearly engulfed in a sea of lightning.

Even as strong as Qin Yi, he couldn't withstand such an overwhelming force of thunder.

Bolts of lightning struck his body, exploding with crackling sound.

Yun Qinglian's breath halted with nervousness; she could clearly see Qin Yi trembling, the ferocious lightning crawling over him.

Damn, Qin Yi cursed inwardly; he had underestimated the power of this lightning. Having moved just one meter, the ferocious lightning was already posing a danger. Every strike paralyzed and pained his body momentarily.

Qin Yi's aura intensified, moving forward another meter.

The ferocious lightning continued bombarding Qin Yi's body, a terrifying sight.

"Just like that!" Qin Yi sneered coldly, stepping forward another meter.

With each meter, Qin Yi's aura intensified, needing to bolster his defenses as he approached the Thunder Tree.

When he was five meters from the Thunder Tree, suddenly a leg-thick bolt of lightning slammed into Qin Yi, causing him to stagger. The spot on his back that was hit, his clothes turned to ashes.

Qin Yi grunted, every meter he moved forward, the lightning grew exponentially stronger.

"Boom!"

Another bolt struck him, exploding, making Qin Yi stumble several steps, almost falling, his left sleeve reduced to ashes.
