“Buzz~~”  

“Arghhhh~~~”

Zhong Shan howled as a great amount of electricity flowed from the hands that he used to pressed on the egg into his body. His eyes turned violent as if it was too much for him to endure and he would be electrocuted in a moment.

Painful, it was extremely painful, both his arms were turning numb. Moreover, the numb sensation was spreading throughout his body, Zhong Shan thought of using Demonic Body Toning Method, but he did not do so and continue to endure and howled. 

Based on Zhong Shan’s willpower, he absolutely could endure the pain without howling, but Zhong Shan still chose to howl loudly.  

The howling was not a way for him to vent the pain in his arms, but for the crowd to hear him, beside it was actually painful.

At the side, Ting Ling Er’s body was trembling, it was clear that the electric current was too strong, such that Ting Ling Er could not endure, but she chose to grit her teeth and not scream. 
“Ha Ha Ha, let us leave, Your Majesty.” General Lei Ting said. 
Seeing what General Lei Ting had done, the crowd laughed in satisfaction, it was obvious that the two of them were doomed, furthermore before they died, they had to endure the endless supply of electric shocks, unable to leave. 
“En” The Emperor nodded happily. 
On the other side, someone went to collect the Thunder Scorpion poison purple needle.

“Go” The Emperor commanded. 

The rest of the crowd followed in succession as the Emperor flew in the front, meanwhile Mr Shi gave Zhong Shan one last glance, with a strange look in his eyes and then quickly followed the crowd. 
With a blink of an eye, the group of people flew out from the ravine.

At this moment, Zhong Shan’s screams came to a stop. Both of his arms were numb and were in extreme pain, but Zhong Shan still relied on his willpower to endure it. 
Both of Tian Ling Er arms were numb too, trying her best to resist the pain. When she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, she started to panic, but when she looked at Zhong Shan standing beside her, her original panic turned to contentment.  

Maybe both of us will die today, death? If I could die together with Zhong Shan, then it is actually not a bad thing. 
As Zhong Shan watched the group of people disappear into the distance, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness. 

Zhong Shan did not use the Demonic Body Toning Method because after he used it, he would become weak for a long period of time and he definitely would not release his hands because the Thunder Scorpion would crawl out, if he were to do so and that would certainly spell their doom. 

Most of the original scorpions within the ravine were killed by the electric currents or the energy released by the experts, only a few were alive and immediately fled out of the ravine. 
Zhong Shan whole body was trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and endured. The electric currents may be nothing towards people like General Lei Ting, but towards Zhong Shan and Tian Ling Er, it was extremely painful.

Raising his head towards Tian Ling Er, Tian Ling Er ‘s eyes were full of despair, now they were really doomed. Zhong Shan was trapped, while she could not move an inch and her whole body was in pain. This is it? 
As Zhong Shan looked painfully at Tian Ling Er, Zhong Shan said, “Release your hands quickly!” 

Tian Ling Er’s arms were already numb, but she still continued to cover the hole of the egg membrane.  

As she heard Zhong Shan, Tian Ling Er let out a bitter smile, thinking that Zhong Shan chose to give up and was trying to escape quickly hoping that they would have a chance to live, but the Thunder Scorpion was at least at the Nascent Soul Level, how could they out run it? 

However, seeing the resolute attitude of Zhong Shan, Tian Ling Er still nodded, everything depends on heaven’s will. Staying here will undoubtedly result in their death, maybe running could give the chance to survive. 
Looking at Zhong Shan, Ting Ling Er let go and retreated immediately. A large amount of electricity rushed out of the hole and strike the earth, creating a deep ditch. 

Zhong Shan let go simultaneously, however what made Tian Ling Er surprised was that Zhong Shan suddenly used his wide back to cover all the four holes.

Using his back to cover the four holes?

The four holes quickly merged together and once they were about the size of Zhong Shan’s back, it stopped and fused together with Zhong Shan.

For a moment, Zhong Shan’s body flashed with lightning, a large amount of electricity enveloped him, turning him into an electric man, countless streams of electricity twisted around him as if he was soaking in water

“Zhong Shan~~~”

When Tian Ling Er realized what was happening, her nose started running, and started to wailed loudly while her tears started running down continuously.

Seeing that Tian Ling Er wanted to grab him, Zhong Shan endured the electricity coursing through his body and shouted to her.  

“Do not come over!” 
The electricity on Zhong Shan body was too concentrated, to the extent that when he opened his mouth to talk, there were streams of electricity gushing out. However, that shout was effective as Tian Ling Er came to a stop. 
Seeing that Zhong Shan was blocking the electricity to allow herself to be able to live, Tian Ling Er’s heart was aching, and was more in pain compared to when the electricity was coursing through her body and was as if her whole heart has shattered into broken pieces. 
At this moment. Tian Ling Er finally knew that within her heart, Zhong Shan was more important than anything, so much that even if she had to die now, she would be willing to do so.

“Ling Er, don't cry, listen, listen to me” Zhong Shan said with much difficulty as he spat out some lightning, the veins on his head were bulging out, causing the electricity around the head to give off a crackling sound. 
However, Tian Ling only shook her head, refusing to listen, watching Zhong Shan suffering torturously as if it was all directed to her own body.

“Quickly return to Kaiyang School and find the Grandmaster to rescue me, if not nobody can save me.” Zhong Shan spoke with difficulty as head was trembling non-stop due to the electricity flowing within.

“No, No, let me, let me block the electric currents, you can go find my dad.” Tian Ling Er quickly cried out. At this moment, Tian Ling Er was more than willing to use her own death to obtain a chance for Zhong Shan to survive.

Seeing that Tian Ling Er refuse to listen, Zhong Shan anxiously said, “Go, go! ”

However, Tian Ling Er only nodded, as if she could not bear to leave Zhong Shan behind, simply could not bear to do so, reaching out to grab Zhong Shan.

“Osmanthus cake” Zhong Shan endured the electricity and cried out with his eyes closed. 

Osmanthus cake? Tian Ling Er hands came to a stop while the memories of the past few months played out in her head. 

“It means that whenever I mention the signal, you have to listen to me. You have to listen to me even it's something you absolutely don't want to do. Otherwise, I will tell the grandmaster when I come back that you haven't listened to me.” Zhong Shan seriously said. 

“That's no fun at all. I don't want it.” Tianling-er showed her displeasure immediately. 

“No, on this matter, we have to agree upon in advance. If the thing I ask you to do is wrong, you can tell the grandmaster when we are back and even the grandmaster will punish me for it, there will not be a word of complaint from me. But if you don't give the promise that you'll do it, then we will not leave here at all.” Zhong Shan said even more seriously. 

“En, alright, alright. You really like to nag. I'll listen to you.” Tianling-er unwillingly agreed. 

“Let's find something that's unusual. En, you like to eat 'osmanthus cake', then we will use 'osmanthus cake' as the signal. Whenever I say osmanthus cake, that will mean that I am very serious and you have to listen to. It's a must, a must.”  

“Alright, alright. Osmanthus cake. Haha!”
 

The conversation then were still in my memories. When they came out, she just thought that the osmanthus cake was a fun thing, but every time Zhong Shan said it, it was so heartbreaking. The last time it did not matter, this time, what Tian Ling Er did not want to hear was the phrase osmanthus cake. 

Too cruel! Too cruel! Tian Ling Er stared at Zhong Shan with tears gushing out, how could she? 
“Osmanthus cake, osmanthus cake, osmanthus cake!” Zhong Shan shouted continuously. A crackling sound caused by the lightning could be heard, every time Zhong Shan shouted.

The crackling sound was like a knife stabbing Tian Ling Er’s heart, however the phrase “osmanthus cake” was like a thousand-pound boulder that was viciously pressing down on her about to shattered heart. 
No! No! Tian Ling Er still continued to shake her head, her tears were about to run dry, her heart aching as she watches Zhong Shan ravaged continuously by the lightning, seemingly to be the one enveloped in electricity. 
“Hurry!” Zhong Shan shouted. 
Nodding her head and whipping her tears, Tian Ling Er stepped onto the red silk and flew out of the ravine without looking back, she did not dare to look back because she knew that if she looked back, it would be impossible for her to leave. 
Osmanthus cake, osmanthus cake, why is it always osmanthus cake? 
Tian Ling Er exploded with all her Zhen Yuan, achieving the greatest speed possible and flew towards Kaiying School. At the moment, Tian Ling Er did not take into account the stress on her body, only wishing to be faster, faster, reaching Kaiying School quickly. Faster, faster, faster! 
On the way, Tian Ling Er felt as if the whole world came to a stop, even losing the perception of her body, ignoring her flowing tears. There were only two thoughts in her head, Kaiying school was in that direction and urging her red silk to fly faster. 
This had never happened before, even if it was when da shi xiong rejected her, she was not as traumatized, Tian Ling Er was extremely afraid, afraid that Zhong Shan will die, Zhong Shan cannot die, absolutely not! 
Tian Ling Er flew across the horizon, while Zhong Shan continued to endure the torture by the lightnings. 

It was extremely painful, so painful that Zhong Shan thought of using the Demonic Body Toning Method. However, he did not dare to do so. He wanted to just past out like this, but still warned himself to not faint, he could not faint, fainting will result in his death and once he fainted, he would lose the opportunity for revenge. 

A great amount of conviction supported Zhong Shan, supporting him while he waits for Tian Ling Er to return with an expert.

Given the circumstances, it was the only way, this method was the most correct choice. Even the Shadow in Great Kun was helpless and could only continue to heal its injuries while patiently waiting. 

Waiting for Tian Ling Er to return as soon as possible.
