Chapter 2427: It Turns Out You Were Harming Me

From childhood, this Heavenly Pride disciple always felt he possessed great fortune.

Otherwise, with his merely above-average talent, it would be hard for him to stand out among his peers, catch the master's eye, and enter the ranks of the Heavenly Pride.

Precisely because his fortune is deep, he has constantly encountered opportunities, allowing him to make rapid progress.

But why is he so unlucky now?

Since stepping onto this White Jade Avenue, the dozen or so Heavenly Thunderbolts that have fallen have all been precisely aimed at him.

Before, one could still call it a coincidence, but now, with two Heavenly Thunderbolts striking simultaneously like this, it's obviously no longer coincidence.

Watching the two Heavenly Thunderbolts rapidly approach, the Heavenly Pride disciple's face darkened, his teeth grinding.

He was being bullied to an extreme degree, yet he didn't notice at all that Tie Dan was hiding behind him, shrinking his head.

At this moment, Tie Dan really wished he could shrink his head into his clothing; this damned heaven, it seems determined to drive him to death.

He's just an ordinary person, never having done anything earth-shattering; why would this damned heaven single him out?

Unbelievable.

In the blink of an eye, under the gazes of the crowd's strange looks, the two Heavenly Thunderbolts had already arrived before the Heavenly Pride disciple.

Although he felt humiliated to the extreme and his anger blazed, facing the attack of two Heavenly Thunderbolts, it was obviously impossible for him to surrender helplessly.

Only seeing the Heavenly Pride disciple forming hand seals and unleashing an immortal technique.

He fiercely collided with one of the Heavenly Thunderbolts.

The power of these two Heavenly Thunderbolts had increased again; even for this Heavenly Pride disciple, dealing with them was somewhat taxing.

Having just blocked one of the Heavenly Thunderbolts, he couldn't even catch a breath before hurriedly beginning to deal with the second.

The same immortal technique, the same hand seals, though he didn't know if it was due to continuous casting.

The power of this second immortal technique seemed to have weakened somewhat.

Thus, after fiercely colliding with the Heavenly Thunderbolt, although he succeeded in dissipating some of it, some residual force remained not fully canceled.

And the remaining Heavenly Thunderbolt continued forward with undiminished momentum.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Pride disciple silently cursed.

"Damn it."

But he didn't pay it any mind; this Heavenly Thunderbolt with only that much power left posed no threat to him whatsoever.

Even if he took it head-on, it wouldn't matter; it couldn't harm him at all.

Therefore, facing the residual force of the second Heavenly Thunderbolt, the Heavenly Pride disciple did not dodge or avoid, having already prepared to withstand it head-on.

But just as the Heavenly Thunderbolts were about to strike, he saw the Heavenly Thunderbolt graze past his side and head straight for his back.

Hmm???

Seeing this, the Heavenly Pride disciple was dumbfounded, as were the others present.

Was the Heavenly Thunderbolt's target not this person?

Instantly, the same speculation arose in his mind: since the Heavenly Thunderbolt didn't attack this disciple, it must mean that earlier, it wasn't targeting him either.

And this Heavenly Pride disciple was likely becoming someone else's shield.

Thinking this, the naturally furious one was the Heavenly Pride disciple—had he been used as a gun by others?

The unlucky one wasn't him but someone else; along this path, the Heavenly Thunderbolts' target wasn't him but others, and he had been helping them block the Heavenly Thunderbolts all along.

"Who?"

At this moment, the Heavenly Pride disciple only wanted to know who was harming him—damn it.

Turning his head with an angry glare, he wanted to see which damned unlucky bastard was causing him such suffering.

He said, from childhood, he and misfortune had nothing to do with each other; those big and small opportunities, without saying they were actively delivered to his door, were effortless for him to reap.

How could he possibly be targeted like this? He possessed great fortune.

Under the gaze of the Heavenly Pride disciple, the remaining Heavenly Thunderbolt headed straight for Tie Dan, who stood frozen in place.

At this moment, Tie Dan even felt like dying; sure enough, it was still coming for him.

He had suspected this before, but when actually facing the Heavenly Thunderbolt, Tie Dan still found it hard to accept.

He hadn't done anything—why was it always him?

After seeing clearly that the Heavenly Thunderbolt's target was Tie Dan, the Heavenly Pride disciple also froze, then roared angrily.

"So it's you, you trash, you dare to harm me."

"I didn't."

Facing the Heavenly Pride disciple's expression that was almost cannibalistic, Tie Dan wanted to cry but had no tears, wanting to explain yet not knowing how to speak.

He never intended to harm anyone; it was this Heavenly Thunderbolt that sought him out.

He just wanted to survive—could that be wrong?

This remaining bit of Heavenly Thunderbolt posed no threat to Tie Dan either, after all, only that much power remained.

Even if Tie Dan had Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation, he could easily handle it.

Just dealing with this Heavenly Thunderbolt is easy, but that Heavenly Pride disciple is not the same.

Just thinking that from the start, he had been shielding this trash, blocking over ten Heavenly Thunderbolts for him, made his stomach churn like eating a fly.

Not only him, but several other Heavenly Pride disciples also turned their gazes toward Tie Dan, which became hostile.

After all, they had previously blocked several Heavenly Thunderbolts for Tie Dan as well.

They had lost confidence in themselves, thinking it was their own fault, which is why they attracted such Heavenly Thunderbolt targeting.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that everything was this trash's doing—this damned thing.

Among them, someone even immediately shouted in a deep voice.

"What exactly have you, you trash, done to provoke heaven and resent men, drawing such Heavenly Thunderbolt targeting upon you?"

"Speak, are you a demonic cultivator?"

"I......"

Upon hearing this, Tie Dan froze. What evil cultivator? He had never encountered an evil cultivator in his life; if forced to say, he was merely a loose cultivator.

He wanted to explain, but before he could speak, another person directly interrupted him.

"What evil cultivator? Heavenly Thunder is so targeted at him; I think he must have accumulated immense wickedness. Speaking of which, the earlier incident of the Immortal City being slaughtered must have been his doing; otherwise, why would Heavenly Thunder target him so? Why does the Heavenly Dao hate him so?"

Huh???

As soon as the matter of the Immortal City being slaughtered came out, Tie Dan's heart died upon hearing it.

What is meant by "adding a crime, what worry is there about lack of excuse"? This is exactly that—do you think too highly of me?

I am just a minor loose cultivator with Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation; even now, I am merely an ordinary disciple of the Thousand Lakes Sect.

Can he slaughter the Immortal City?

Upon hearing such a tall hat placed upon him, Tie Dan was powerless to refute, only able to speak weakly and bloodlessly.

"Whatever you senior brothers say goes; I, a person of Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation, can I possibly slaughter the Immortal City?"

In response, the people present naturally didn't believe it; they were merely venting their pent-up frustration.

However, upon hearing Tie Dan's words, the Heavenly Pride disciple who had been targeted the most did not buy it at all, still coldly shouting.

"Still dare to quibble? I don't care whether you're an evil cultivator or what heaven-defying deeds you've done; get out to the back now, and if you dare come within ten meters of me again, I'll kill you."
