How dare you insult me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m insulting you right now—Xiuniang, strike!” Bai Ke let out a tinkling laugh, her lips parting as a Tianhu Nail shot out and streaked straight for Qing She’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiuniang gathered her spirit, raised her small hand, and launched another Tianhu Nail that arced from the left, coordinating with Bai Ke to flank the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commandant Qing She flicked his right wrist; a soft whip uncoiled from his sleeve, sweeping through the air. The thirteen-foot whip struck Bai Ke’s Tianhu Nail away, then twisted aside to evade the second nail, before whipping toward Xiuniang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiuniang’s face hardened. She darted sideways, her fingers flicking rapidly—the Tianhu Nail looped in an arc and struck again from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Bai Ke worked in tandem, restraining the enemy; the two Tianhu Nails crisscrossed through the air, maintaining distance from Commandant Qing She. One woman, one fox, fought one serpent—and for a time, he could not close in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, Gu Zhao and the other two watched the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held a Huang Fu talisman; Daoist Yan Song gripped his sword hilt; Zhuo Qingyan held her jade flute, eyes fixed on the fight, ready to strike at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They coordinate well,” Daoist Yan Song chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Qingyan glanced at Gu Zhao. “Xiuniang trains daily without fail, and often takes time to practice with Bai Ke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao nodded, clearly seeing Xiuniang’s effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, while waiting at the inn, they had just witnessed Commandant Qing She emerging from the water. Sensing the aura he radiated upon taking form, they judged it weaker than that of the Jin Feng Sect’s Guardian. So they decided to let Xiuniang test herself—gain some real combat experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiuniang couldn’t possibly defeat him; at best, she might hold out for a while. So the three didn’t stay in the inn to watch—they came to the battlefield, hiding in the shadows, ready to assist at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, Commandant Qing She’s whip hissed through the air, its tip cracking like thunder. The shockwaves made the lanterns near the town’s entrance flicker wildly, dimming and brightening in erratic pulses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiuniang and Bai Ke refused to yield. The Tianhu Nails darted and danced—sometimes piercingly shrill, sometimes silent, sometimes blazing white, sometimes vanishing into darkness, sometimes carrying a faint, sweet fragrance—shifting endlessly, disorienting the five senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such commotion woke the people of Anlin Town. Some trembled under their quilts; others, bolder, peered from windows—and saw a scene they would never forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two white figures twisted and leapt, controlling two points of white light that darted back and forth, surrounding a central green figure wielding a whip—locked in fierce combat at the town’s entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a fierce exchange, Commandant Qing She feigned an opening, letting Xiuniang’s nail close in—then raised his right hand. The snake whip twisted strangely, coiling around the Tianhu Nail, yanking it downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianhu Nail was driven into the ground. Commandant Qing She stomped on it, sneering at Xiuniang. “Is this all your skill? You dare block me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiuniang tried to recall the nail—but could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ke tried harassing with her nail, but each time it was batted away. She frantically called out, “Gu Zhao, help us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commandant Qing She froze. “More allies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a soft, lingering melody suddenly sounded beside his ear—calm, refined, soothing, filling him with a deep, irresistible drowsiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alarm bells rang in his mind. He struggled to break free—but his spirit was sinking, helplessly, into the haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This terrified him. He realized he’d met a true master. He retracted his whip and spun to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he turned, he saw a figure appear between himself and Anqu River. The figure raised a left hand—and a vast, overwhelming aura surged toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of purple light vanished. Thunder exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commandant Qing She’s whip shattered, scales flying, half of it charred black. His body trembled violently in the lightning—then he saw a spark streaking toward him, gently touching his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh.” The spark instantly became a net of fire, engulfing him, as if seeping into his very flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commandant Qing She summoned his protective true qi, fighting desperately against the fire net, trying to plunge into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, he realized—he could not move faster. The distance he once crossed in an instant now felt as unreachable as the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three Yuan, Three Officials. Nine Rivers, Nine Streams. Turn to iron chains, bind my foe’s whole body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the clear voice ended, Commandant Qing She felt an iron chain pierce through the fire net, entering his body—suddenly locking his dantian, his spiritual sea, his magic power, his spirit—and even draining his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plop!” Commandant Qing She collapsed. Then came a voice—old, yet light and cheerful: “Your Shangqing Great Binding Dragon Talisman works well. Give me a few to study.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Easy,” replied a young voice. “First, take this snake back and question him. Find out what’s going on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commandant Qing She was stunned. “Shangqing Great Binding Dragon Talisman? I’m just a little green snake—do you really need a dragon-binding spell to catch me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiuniang approached the group. “Young Master…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You fought well,” Gu Zhao ruffled Xiuniang’s hair. “This guy isn’t much weaker than that black-robed ghost from Jin Feng Sect. You two did great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiuniang’s face lit up instantly. “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Bai Ke leapt onto Xiuniang’s shoulder. “In a few more days, even if we meet Jin Feng Sect’s Divine Consort, we’ll be able to spar with her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ke and Xiuniang’s spiritual cores were perfectly aligned; their joint cultivation yielded results many times faster than solo training. No wonder the pinnacle of this world belonged to spirits and demons—even though humans remained the dominant race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine beings of the Spirit Path needed incense offerings; fast-growing ghosts and spirit lords sought soul-bonding with humans. Thus, a balance formed between them and the monsters that fed on human blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commandant Qing She, bound by both the Binding Dragon Talisman and the Fire Net, was brought back to the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the girl and the white fox, he finally saw the other three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man who looked gentle and refined, polite as could be—but the two deadly, torturous spells binding him were his doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold, breathtakingly beautiful woman, radiating chilling aura, idly twirling a jade flute. Commandant Qing She knew instantly: she was the one who nearly hypnotized his spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man who stared at him with a smile, eyes curious—but Commandant Qing She felt only terror. Perhaps he was the true master among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhao clapped his hands, opening a small gap in the chains within Commandant Qing She’s body. “Speak. What is Bi’ang Palace up to?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1148,"2026-06-21T06:19:08.116Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","3bbd899548c55cccb8bdb4e5913fc5150b86c9893d86e36a9abe4fc5f65939bc","commanding-the-five-thunders-across-two-worlds-chapter-78","commanding-the-five-thunders-across-two-worlds-chapter-76",141,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcommanding-the-five-thunders-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
