Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A string of doors slammed shut in rapid succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Caw! Caw! Caw…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Save for the two crows perched on the tree at the village’s edge, the entire village fell silent as a chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao stared blankly for a moment before finally realizing what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running into bandits raiding the village might not mean death—but encountering a being who’d just wiped out dozens of bandits and clearly wasn’t good? That was real danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed even illiterate ancient villagers had more awareness of danger than he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it was too late for Gu Zhao to run—not only was the woman clearly targeting him, but he’d just seen her gently blow a breath his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao’s pupils shrank sharply, “I’m dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, he felt a chilling wind pierce his body, as if trying to freeze him solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be afraid,” the green-robed woman had already reached Gu Zhao’s side, leaning down slightly; he could see the gentle rise and fall of her chest, even catch the sweet fragrance clinging to her, “I didn’t blow soul-dispersing wind—I won’t scatter your spirit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman purred with a seductive laugh, “Don’t move—I’ll help you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Gu Zhao suddenly leaped backward, putting distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woman: ⊙_⊙???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I misjudged you,” the woman narrowed her eyes, studying Gu Zhao with renewed interest, “So you’re a mage after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not a mage—I’m a Daoist priest!” Gu Zhao adopted a defensive stance, his body still trembling, “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chilling wind that had entered Gu Zhao’s body had instantly transformed into a freezing cold, seeking to paralyze him—but as soon as the cold stirred, it triggered an instinctive reaction from his internal magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his current magic power was still meager, the moment the cold touched it, it melted away like snow in spring—so naturally, he wasn’t bound by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daoist priest?” The woman’s confusion flickered briefly—she’d never heard the term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t care; instead, she lightly touched her lips with a jade hand and chuckled softly, “You can’t even tell I’m not human—you’re clearly a greenhorn mage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao’s pupils shrank sharply, “You’re not human?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am the Divine Maiden of the Golden Wind Sect. Only those who’ve earned great merit may enjoy my body. Today, you’re lucky—I’ll let you have me. Aren’t you grateful? Come to my arms!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she stepped toward Gu Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, her eyes turned pure black, her face pale, her lips crimson as blood—she became cold and alluring, a chilling aura instantly spreading to envelop Gu Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little mage, just submit…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Gu Zhao raise his left hand, thumb pressed inward, four fingers clenched, five nails concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a majestic aura surged from Gu Zhao’s body, instantly purging all surrounding cold and darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woman: ⊙_⊙!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint tingling sensation suddenly surged through the woman’s body, as if doom were descending—she froze mid-step and asked, “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao’s right hand twitched slightly, his lips parted as if to speak—but no sound came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s expression shifted; a faint smile touched her lips, as if she’d realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao opened his mouth again, his right hand frozen mid-air, straining—but still not a single word emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s smile deepened by threefold; she understood, and laughed, “Little mage, your magic power is too weak—don’t force yourself. You’ll hurt yourself. Better to yield to me and enjoy earthly bliss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Gu Zhao’s right hand suddenly moved, fingers forming a seal as he murmured incantations under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder and lightning chase each other, heaven and earth as eyes. Eight directions’ righteous qi, lightning flashes bright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the four lines of sixteen characters, Gu Zhao raised his right palm, then flipped it slightly, directing his palm straight at the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Gu Zhao spoke, the woman sensed something was wrong and leaped backward instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking and aimed his palm at her, she fixed her gaze on his palm, summoning a swirl of black smoke to defend herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the word “Chi!” rang out, she saw a flash of purple-gold light, heard a thunderclap pierce her ears, felt her mind struck by a sledgehammer—her entire body tensed rigid…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then darkness swallowed her vision—and she knew nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao stared, stunned, at the pile of charred black powder before him, and the green robe now falling lifelessly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he involuntarily raised both hands, eyes wide with disbelief and delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder Seal, Palm Thunder, Summoning Thunder Incantation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My god! It actually works!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his magic power had just melted the woman’s cold aura, Gu Zhao’s mind had suddenly sparked with insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Five Thunder Talisman had activated his ten years of cultivated primordial qi and gradually filled his body with magic power, his Dao scripture must be effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his cultivation method worked, then what about other Daoist techniques?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instinctively, he formed the Thunder Seal—also called the Thunder Jue —and instantly felt a transcendence, as if he’d become the righteous qi of heaven and earth, the Thunder God of the Nine Heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with confidence, Gu Zhao prepared to chant the [Dutian Leigong Incantation].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t chant it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could he not chant it—he felt his magic power churn chaotically, his spirit grow dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao immediately realized his current strength couldn’t yet cast such a powerful thunder incantation, so he switched to the [Five Directions Savage Thunder Incantation]—still couldn’t cast it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he abandoned further delay and switched decisively to the most basic [Palm Summoning Thunder Incantation]—and finally succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he watched the green-robed woman who had just blown away dozens of bandits with a single breath—utterly defenseless before the lightning from his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condensed black smoke dissolved in thunder; her delicate body shattered in lightning—moments ago a pure yet alluring beauty, now reduced to a pile of black ash, unrecognizable as human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, definitely not human,” Gu Zhao muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than he sensed the Five Thunder Talisman in his mind tremble, emitting a suction force—then a wisp of energy slipped into his mind and was absorbed by the talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, he felt the lightning surrounding the Five Thunder Talisman in his spiritual sea brighten by a third, gently stimulating his circulating magic power, accelerating its flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“God mode!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill monsters, level up!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-21T06:19:08.116Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","6b46b92b1cec6395b1ebcd8acf7c7cec3cbc4aaea71f211720db02091d30fdd0","commanding-the-five-thunders-across-two-worlds-chapter-5","commanding-the-five-thunders-across-two-worlds-chapter-3",141,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcommanding-the-five-thunders-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
