I pointed the Life side of my Chill of the Nine Provinces toward the sky and activated it immediately. Three vortices of life spun rapidly and just barely dragged Lin Yixin and He Yi from the brink of death with its 50% heal. While this was going on, I took a couple more lightning strikes and lost my Battle Astral Wind, but I fearlessly flew back to the girls and blocked a lightning strike for He Yi!

592991!

My entire body was numb after the lightning strike. It was an unpleasant feeling to say the least.

"Does it hurt, big bro?" Beiming Xue looked back at me with a look of concern.

"It’s so electrifying I could die…" I replied sarcastically.

Moon Dew: "..."

Lin Yixin and He Yi dropped below 40% HP again as we continued forward. Even I had fallen below 25% HP after blocking around 4 to 5 lightning strikes for them. After downing Lin Yixin’s Rank 13 concoction and casting Tenacity of the Dead to heal myself for another 25% HP, I shouted, "Yiyi, Eve, faster! I can’t block any more hits for you…"

It was just 500 meters, but it felt like an eternity. The fact we were flying closer to the clouds than anything...
