The violent lightning easily shattered his layers of defenses, as if through an undefended gate, finally striking him harshly.
"Crackle!"
Lightning flashed, its blinding light instantly enveloping Gu Yuntao.
His entire attire was charred black by the intense heat, and his once-neat hair became disheveled, with wisps of smoke rising from his body, making him look utterly pitiful.
Gu Yuntao let out a muffled groan, spitting out a mouthful of blood that he couldn't hold back.
The blood turned into a mist in mid-air, adding a touch of tragedy to the scene.
Fortunately, there was no threat to his life.
"Not bad. Even with your defensive power, it would still take me considerable effort to break it."
True Monarch Wan Chun witnessed this, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He left the severely injured Gu Yuntao aside and turned his gaze straight to Xu Ping.
At this moment, a rare hint of approval appeared in his eyes.
