Chapter 1848: Babes on Both Sides

A Faraday Cage used metals or other conductors to form a cage that could protect anyone inside. Thus, they wouldn’t be affected by the electricity field outside.

In Zu An’s previous world, the Faraday Cages could resist millions of volts, and his cage was even made of special materials. All kinds of rare ki stones had been added, and Yan Xuehen had even applied various protective runes that boosted the voltage it could endure even further. All of the tribulation lightning was guided into the ground by the steel sphere, so the three people floating inside were naturally unaffected.

“What… Just what is going on?” Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen both murmured in a stupor as they watched all of this happen.

After all, the records all stated how terrifying tribulation lightning was. Even the one who was powerful enough to trigger the tribulation could easily perish during the process, let alone people like them who were still far from that level.

“Earlier, I already said that Ancestral Master Faraday would protect us,” Zu An said, his mood having improved quite a bit. He couldn't help but joke around a bit now too.

“Who is Faraday? Can you tell us a bit about him, please?” Yun Jianyue asked. Her tone also became a bit playful; however, as she said those words, her face immediately heated up.

Ugh, this kind of girlish tone really is too embarra.s.sing. That stone cold woman is definitely going to make fun of me for it later.

She anxiously gave Yan Xuehen a glance, but she saw that the other woman was looking at Zu An with a different kind of expression, seemingly not having noticed what she said at all.

Thank goodness. She must be really interested right now too.

“That’s a long story. He’s a…” Zu An began. He was waiting for this tribulation lightning that was now several times stronger to weaken Zhao Han, so he had nothing better to do anyway. He decided to just tell the two women the story of Faraday. Of course, he did it in a way they could understand.

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue’s eyes were wide open in dazzlement. They really had treated this boy as a junior in the past, and even though they had made breakthroughs in their relations.h.i.+p in the past, that feeling still remained. When they looked at him now, however, their expressions were full of a kind of admiration and adoration.

The sea of lightning was just several feet away from them; even now, those waves of frightening fluctuations made their hearts tremble. However, as long as they clung tightly to Ah Zu and felt his warm and strong chest, it made them feel safer than anything else. Those intimate scenes from the past couldn't help but appear in both of their minds. Their bodies became softer and softer.

As he smelled the two fragrances around him that were entirely different, and felt their soft bodies in his arms, Zu An also felt his feelings stir a bit. That was especially true because he knew that these two were ladies infamous for clas.h.i.+ng like fire and ice. He couldn't help but want to lower his head to kiss them. However, when he thought about how there wouldn’t be any way to explain things after the matter, he could only suppress that thought.

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue’s eyes suddenly met. Their bodies both instantly stiffened.

Oh no; she saw how close I was with Ah Zu. What if she begins to suspect something…

However, since they were still in a dangerous situation, they quickly calmed down again.

We’re clearly doing this out of helplessness because of this disaster, and the other woman is similarly holding onto him tightly. She’ll be too embarra.s.sed to worry about me.

“Hmph, this stone cold woman normally acts all holy and aloof, but look at that shy look on her face as she hugs my Ah Zu. I should really show this to her pursuers.”

“That witch has cultivated some charm skills. I definitely have to warn Ah Zu not to be tricked by her in the future. She is extremely skilled in toying with men!”

…

The two had their own thoughts, but in Zhao Han’s eyes, they both looked shy and bashful.

Yan Xuehen was like an ice G.o.ddess. There were countless men who had yearned for her over the years, and even he had been one of them back then. However, Yan Xuehen had never given any man a second look. Forget about letting them carry her; even holding hands, or even speaking a few more words than needed to men, had never happened.

Just how many men’s dao hearts would shatter upon witnessing this sight?!

And that witch Yun Jianyue! Even though she was a Devil Sect witch, her devastating beauty was on par with Yan Xuehen’s. People all publicly acknowledged that Yu Yanluo was the greatest beauty of the secular world, but in the world of cultivation, this pair from the orthodox and demonic sect were definitely on top.

These two were like water and fire. They had fought countless times over the years. If one were to say that these two women were being held on either side of a single man to others, they would likely just treat it as a sign of madness. Even if the end of the world came the next day, such a scene definitely wouldn’t happen.

Zhao Han felt as if he was about to go crazy himself.

This old one is being freaking blasted by lightning, and yet this brat is playing with two women, one on each side?

More importantly, with the addition of these three, the tribulation lightning immediately became four times stronger!

The reason why he had ended up acc.u.mulating cultivation for so long was because his previous world’s origin power was too weak, so he couldn't break through. Now that he had entered this world, the breakthrough had become a smooth and natural process. That was why the earlier tribulation lightning hadn't been too great of a threat at all.

He had thus been leisurely dealing with the tribulation while thinking that once he became a true immortal, he would no longer have to worry about the frustration of his limited lifespan. He had also planned to properly enjoy watching that brat Zu An’s expression of fear, thinking about how he would have to properly torture that kid after. Was there anything more pleasurable than that?

And yet now, such a beautiful painting had suddenly changed! He was the one who was dancing on the brink of death, while Zu An was enjoying his time with two incredible beauties?

You have successfully trolled Zhao Han for +444 +444 +444…

Boom!

A huge noise filled the air, and Zhao Han’s entire body was blasted violently, leaving a trail of black smoke and a charred scent. He s.h.i.+vered and didn’t dare to get distracted thinking about those things any further. Four times the tribulation lightning power wasn’t so easily dealt with.

The lightning in the sky began to merge together. It changed from its initial white color to a dark red, until it ultimately turned into giant spheres of electricity that all flew at him. Zhao Han didn’t dare to take them on with his bare hands anymore. Instead, he took out all the weapons he had collected over the years to help him.

However, just how powerful was this tribulation lightning? Even though the treasures he had were all extraordinary, after being blasted by a few b.a.l.l.s of lightning, they were all shattered.

…

Meanwhile, Zu An said with a sigh, “That old fart really has a lot of treasures. I already exhausted all of his defensive treasures, and yet he still had so many offensive ones.”

Yan Xuehen collected her thoughts a bit and said, “He is the ruler of a country, after all, with resources from sea to sea. It would be more strange for him to not have treasures.”

Yun Jianyue said with a sigh, “Those spheres of electricity are actually so powerful that not even Zhao Han’s treasures can stop them, and yet they can’t do anything to your cage. It really is a marvel.”

Those spheres of electricity that hit Zhao Han hadn’t spared them either. Perhaps because there were more people there, there were even a bit more on their side than on Zhao Han’s side. However, whenever they landed on the special Faraday Cage, they were guided to the earth, leaving only some arcs of electricity behind.

As he looked at those spheres of lightning, Zu An was a bit speechless. It was precisely because of these d.a.m.n things that he had ended up transmigrating. However, upon closer inspection, the power of these b.a.l.l.s of lightning couldn't compare to that one at all. He wondered just how he hadn’t immediately died from that ball of lightning.

Yun Jianyue suddenly asked excitedly, “With this magic artifact of yours, wouldn’t we be completely safe when we face tribulation in the future?”

Yan Xuehen shook her head and said, “That’s not true. In the end, tribulation is guiding down lightning power to temper the entire body, to seize the natural force of the universe to defy and change your fate. Even though the process of tribulation is dangerous, it is actually an opportunity for cultivators. Only after experiencing the baptism of lightning tribulation can you guide the origin power of the world into your body and undergo a complete transformation. Even though you could use this kind of magic artifact to protect yourself, you would also lose that transformative opportunity. In the end, it would be the same as not undergoing tribulation.”

“Hmph, you’re sound all fancy as if you’ve gone through it yourself or something.” Yun Jianyue harrumphed.

“Even though I haven’t faced tribulation, the White Jade Sect has some ancient texts that talk about it. Don’t tell me your Devil Sect doesn’t have any?” Yan Xuehen replied, pretending to be shocked. She couldn't help but grin as she looked at Yun Jianyue.

Yun Jianyue’s expression changed. She said, “Of course we do! I was just saying that to mess with little Zu An here, to warn him that he shouldn’t rely on tricks in the path of cultivation. Otherwise, he might have to pay the price for it.”

Zu An was speechless.

You two can argue by yourselves; why are you involving me too?

However, he could tell that Yun Jianyue was hiding her embarra.s.sment, so he couldn't really say anything.

…

Zhao Han could hear their happy laughter and conversation. When he saw how easy of a time they were having, and thought about how hard of a time he was having himself, he gritted his teeth hatefully.

You have successfully trolled Zhao Han for +666 +666 +666…

Even so, he quickly thought of something.

Those three’s cultivations are far inferior to mine, and yet they’re having such an easy time. It must be because of that strange cage. Could it be that lightning doesn’t touch people inside a cage like that?

You guys can do it, so why can’t I?

As such, he released a roar. His hands drew lines through the air, and a golden barrier of light took form. He was coc.o.o.ned inside just like a chicken egg. This defensive s.h.i.+eld made using all of his knowledge was far stronger than their tattered cage. He planned to recover some stamina and treat his injuries first before facing the tribulation again. Otherwise, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to handle it.

He watched as those spheres of electricity came cras.h.i.+ng down with great confidence, but a second later, they tore right through his defensive s.h.i.+eld and smashed into his body with a loud explosion. No matter how strong his earth immortal body was, he was almost blown to smithereens right there and then. His clothes were in tatters, and he looked worse than a beggar. There were pieces of flesh dangling from his entire body.

Zu An rolled his eyes.

What a dumba.s.s. There’s no metal and it’s not connected to the ground. Like h.e.l.l that’ll do anything.
