Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Hua Nishang’s Lifesaving Grace_1

Just as the lightning was about to strike Hua Nishang and Ning Fan, Ning Fan, tightly embraced by Hua Nishang, suddenly opened his eyes.

What he saw was Hua Nishang’s face of despair, and above them, the lightning tearing through space.

"No!"

Ning Fan let out a low growl, and his spiritual power burst forth suddenly. With a flip, he switched places with Hua Nishang.

Now he was on top, with Hua Nishang beneath him.

Boom!

At that moment, the lightning struck squarely onto Ning Fan’s back.

Hiss hiss hiss...

The pale blue lightning instantly spread throughout Ning Fan’s body and also enveloped Hua Nishang underneath him.

Both of them blacked out at the same time, collapsing to the ground.

At that time, within the high sky, all the electric currents in the eyes of that cloud giant had turned into lightning strikes, transforming it into a giant without eyes.

Although it had no eyes, if one looked up from where Ning Fan and Hua Nishang lay, they would be able to see what seemed like an expression on the face of the cloud giant.

It swept its gaze over Ning Fan like a black hole, then seemingly in a human-like manner, it nodded in satisfaction.

Finally, it changed shape rapidly, from a cloud giant into a mass of irregularly shaped black clouds.

Then, a gust of wind blew, and the black clouds quickly dissipated.

In the sky, the blue sky and white clouds returned.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

The two lay there motionless on the ground... As time passed by second by second...

Day and night alternated.

When Ning Fan regained consciousness, it was already the next day.

His spiritual power circulated throughout his body, and Ning Fan’s heart sank immediately.

Yesterday, after he had forced his Foundation Establishment, the vortex of spiritual power that had formed in the dantian area of his lower abdomen had been scattered by the two lightning strikes from the cloud giant above!

Now, his dantian was as empty as before.

His realm had fallen back to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

No, it was even worse than before, because his realm had been forcibly reduced by the lightning from above, scattering the vortex of spiritual power. If he wanted to attempt Foundation Establishment again, the difficulty would be several times greater than the last time!

In fact, Ning Fan had not used a Foundation Establishment Pill for his forced Foundation Establishment yesterday, which could only be considered half-establishment.

That is, he had formed a vortex of spiritual power in his dantian, but his body had not rebuilt its foundation.

To completely establish his foundation, he needed to take a Foundation Establishment Pill while forming the spiritual power vortex to reconstruct his body’s foundation.

The silver lining was that although Ning Fan had been reduced in realm, he had survived, and while he lay unconscious, his Thunderbolt Body Tempering Art had been repairing his body autonomously.

By now, the injuries caused by the lightning strikes were mostly healed.

Of course, credit must also go to Hua Nishang who, at that moment, spared no expense in feeding Ning Fan so many of Myriad Flowers Valley’s precious elixirs.

And most importantly, when the second lightning strike came down, Hua Nishang clung tightly to Ning Fan, sharing the damage with him.

At this thought, Ning Fan was shocked and quickly looked down at Hua Nishang on the ground.

Hua Nishang was still pinned under him, she didn’t possess the Thunderbolt Body Tempering Art, so even though she was shielded by Ning Fan above her, her injuries were much more severe than his, close to death!

Ning Fan’s heart tightened, and he quickly took out spiritual liquid from his space ring, pried open Hua Nishang’s mouth, and poured it in.

He also stuffed the remaining Rejuvenation Pills and True Elemental Elixirs into her mouth incessantly.

It seemed as if the roles had reversed between them.

The first time the lightning struck, it was Hua Nishang who desperately fed life-saving elixirs and liquid into Ning Fan’s mouth.

Now, it was Ning Fan stuffing life-saving elixirs into Hua Nishang’s mouth.

The power of the lightning from the sky was incredibly powerful, something Hua Nishang could not withstand at all.

Even just sharing a bit of it with Ning Fan had nearly charred half of her body.

But fortunately, she had many life-saving items from Myriad Flowers Valley on her, and with Ning Fan’s all-out rescue, it was not known how much time passed before Hua Nishang gradually moved out of danger.

"That cloud giant in the sky... What exactly was it?"

As Ning Fan waited for Hua Nishang to wake up, he could not help but look up at the sky.

The sky was once again a clear blue, clear and limitless, as if one could see beyond the heavens at a glance.

But Ning Fan suddenly felt that beyond this boundless sky, there seemed to be something else!

The cloud giant in the sky and the two lightning strikes it had released were definitely not that simple!

But as to what they actually were, Ning Fan had no clue at all.

Even his mother’s legacy contained no record of such things.

"Am I... dead?"

A soft moan sounded, and Hua Nishang regained consciousness. Although her body was still very weak, she was no longer in mortal peril.

"You’re not dead, thank you for saving my life," Ning Fan said to Hua Nishang with sincerity.

Even though the first lightning strike had brought him down, his consciousness had not faded, and he knew clearly that if it hadn’t been for Hua Nishang, he would not have withstood the second lightning strike and might well have died by now.

"I didn’t die? You’re alive too?"

Hua Nishang was first taken aback, then she quickly realized the situation and smiled with joy: "So you’re saying, Ning Fan, that now I’m your lifesaver?"
