I long to return home!

The entire sky was filled with the rumble of purple lightning. The Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle carried Xue Wu, swaying left and right in the air. Its painful cries attracted the purple lightning to gather around it, and it used its domineering thunder to kill Xue Wu.

Countless powerful currents surged into his body. He struggled in pain, but he never let go of the sword in his hand. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle's claws with one hand, wantonly absorbing the lightning on his body and gathering it into the sword.

"Damn it, you won't let me have an easy time! I'll make sure you don't have an easy time either!"

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade in his hand absorbed lightning into his body, and the lightning element symbol on the hilt was charged, causing the blade to shimmer with purple light.

He gripped the hilt of his sword and slashed down with lightning speed, the thunderous blade easily cleaving through the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle's chest, creating a bottomless wound.

The Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle let out an even more painful screech, opened its sharp claws, and just as Xue Wu was falling, its fingertips pierced through his chest and gripped him tightly. It then swooped down and crashed headfirst into the Thunder Pool, creating a monstrous surge.

Watching this scene from the mountaintop, Xu Tao continued to smash the barrier, venting his anger. He turned around and tightly gripped the shoulders of Jin Lingjiao, who was sobbing uncontrollably, and cried out in alarm, "Quickly use your spiritual sense to check! Hurry..."

"It's no use. The barrier seals off all spiritual consciousness. Xue Wu can't come back... Waaah..." Jin Lingjiao knelt on the ground, wiping away her tears uncontrollably.

"Damn it! This broken barrier..." Xu Tao refused to give up, punching the barrier again and again until his hands bled, but he never stopped.

"Wake up!" Gu Qingcheng refused to give up, grabbing the crazed Xu Tao and slapping him to briefly bring him back to his senses. She took a deep breath and said, "Junior Brother Xue hasn't given up yet. You saw that strike just now. Who knows, maybe that strike would have killed the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle..."

Xu Tao finally calmed down completely. That slash was amazing, and it might really have been a fatal wound. He firmly believed in this explanation and looked at Lei Chi expectantly, hoping for a miracle.

Lei Mengying, standing in the center of the Thunder Pool, saw it most clearly. The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade slashed the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle, and at the same time, the eagle delivered a fatal blow to Xue Wu. She panicked and rushed to the pool where Xue Wu had fallen to observe. After a moment, the purple water was stained crimson. The Purple Winged Thunder Eagle's blood was purple, so this crimson stain could only be...

Her eyes trembled uncontrollably, unwilling to believe it...

At the bottom of the Thunder Pool, Xue Wu struggled desperately, but his movement was restricted in the water. Blood kept flowing from his wounds, and the tiny lightning bolts in the water seeped into his body through the wounds, severely damaging his meridians.

The Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle in the water also encountered considerable obstacles in its movements, but it refused to loosen its talons and was determined to kill Xue Wu.

Time ticked by, and Xue Wu's consciousness gradually faded. Just when he felt he was doomed to die, filled with resentment... but he decided to go with it anyway, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Sigh~ It seems I'll have to do it again. Although my divine sense is already quite weak, I won't easily take action until the time is right, but this time it's her business after all... Oh well, oh well, I'll be the one suffering in the future, no, it'll be you."

Suddenly, Xue Wu's eyes snapped open, revealing black and white energy within them, resembling a black and white yin-yang symbol. This startled the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle, which had already assumed Xue Wu was dead, and its claws tightened their grip once more.

Xue Wu spat out a mouthful of blood, a wicked smile spreading across his face. The hand holding the knife instantly became shrouded in black mist as he swung the blade towards the bottom of the pool.

"Thunder comes!"

Instantly, the entire Thunder Pool began to churn, and all the lightning in the pool surged into the lightning element of the sword hilt. Soon after, all the lightning in the entire Thunder Pool was used to charge the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Sword.

The rust on the blade has been removed, revealing a dazzling purple light. The lightning element symbol on the hilt begins to rotate, showcasing the true form of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade.

"Looks like you have quite an appetite, absorbing a lot of lightning element. Well then... spit it all out!"

Outside the Thunder Pool, Lei Mengying stared in astonishment at the surging surface of the pool. The lightning element covering the surface was dissipating, or rather, converging towards the bottom. Before she could figure it out, a purple blade of light cleaved through the water and slashed towards the sky, scattering the whirlpool.

While she was still in shock, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade flew out of the water and directly stuck in front of her. She looked at the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade, which was flashing with purple light, and couldn't help but touch the hilt. Immediately, a powerful energy surged into her body. Before she could recover, the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle grabbed Xue Wu and flew out of the water, slamming him heavily to the ground.

She turned her head and saw that the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle, which even the two of them couldn't fight back against, was kicked away by Xue Wu. She even thought she might be seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes. But the scene she saw again was even more outrageous. White mist appeared on Xue Wu's broken body, while black mist swirled in his hands as he fought against the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle with his flesh and blood, and he was not at a disadvantage at all.

Xue Wu frowned. This body was still too weak, and he couldn't unleash his full strength. He glanced at Lei Mengying, who was standing there in a daze, and a smile appeared on his lips. He habitually called out, "What are you looking at, you country bumpkin? Draw your sword and chop it with all your might!"

"Country bumpkin?" No, that's too familiar now.

Lei Mengying was stunned, staring blankly at Xue Wu. Her eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion, but she quickly realized that there seemed to be no one else here. The country girl could only be calling her. Her face instantly turned gloomy, and her eyes flashed with anger, like burning flames.

Her hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the hilt of the knife. A strange sense of familiarity welled up in her heart, and five words floated into her mind: "A thoughtless slash." These five words echoed in her mind like a demonic chant.

She fell into a deep silence, shutting out all her senses and focusing her mind completely. At this moment, her aura became powerful and terrifying. Her purple pupils lit up like dazzling stars, and the tips of her hair emitted a faint purple light. Purple lightning crackled around the blade, making it seem like a murder weapon from hell.

She raised the sword high above her head, and countless bolts of lightning gathered on its blade, resembling a ferocious dragon roaring. A moment later, she gripped the hilt and brought the sword down, unleashing a burst of lightning that formed a purple blade of light, cleaving the ground in two wherever it passed.

The Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle sensed something was wrong and spread its wings to try to fly away, but it was too late. A blade of light whistled in like lightning, saving its life but leaving a sharp claw permanently attached to it.

It howled in pain, the breath of death emanating from it. It dared not linger and spread its wings to flee, but was protected by a barrier. It looked down and saw that Lei Mengying had raised her sword again. Seeing that the second sword was about to strike, it ignored the pain in its body and forcibly resisted the damage caused by the barrier. Just as the second sword was about to strike, it broke through the barrier and escaped.

Seeing the Purple Winged Thunder Eagle flee, the purple light in Lei Mengying's eyes dissipated, and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade also transformed into a wisp of purple lightning and merged into her body. She then thought of the way Xue Wu had addressed her earlier, and turned her head in a fit of rage, only to find that Xue Wu had already arrived in front of her.

She looked on in shock as the white mist surrounding her body dissipated, revealing the wounds caused by the sharp claws. However, Xue Wu felt no pain and was gazing at her tenderly. Unconsciously, his hand caressed Lei Mengying's cheek.

"You..." Lei Mengying was immediately taken aback by this.

“Shadow…” Xue Wu said calmly, then the black and white energy in his eyes dissipated, and he collapsed onto two large white buns.

Lei Mengying had never seen such a scene before, and her pretty face turned red. But she couldn't ignore the injured Xue Wu, so she slowly sat down cross-legged, moved Xue Wu's head onto her lap, and then began to use her internal energy to heal her injuries.
