Lightning rods are designed to be pointed because their tip-like shape creates the strongest electric field near the tip, which can easily attract lightning from the air. Wu Bolin’s flying sword has now become a mobile lightning rod, and it is moving rapidly towards Wu Bolin!
When Wu Bolin noticed the arc of electricity forming on his flying sword, he was completely confused. He didn’t quite understand what was going on, why the lightning wasn’t striking the ground but was instead intercepted by his own flying sword.
But the flying sword didn’t give him time to think carefully; it immediately flew into his hand and then sucked the lightning away.

A huge explosion sent Wu Bolin flying back again.
Her already tattered clothes had now mostly turned to charcoal powder, leaving only a pair of half-missing underwear, which barely covered her embarrassment.
Wu Bolin muttered in utter shock, “How…how could this happen?!”
Charlie laughed out loud, “Stupid dog! Your flying sword conducts electricity. You don’t even know this basic common sense, yet you dare show your face in public?”
Wu Bolin was furious. His hand holding the flying sword trembled violently and uncontrollably. A pungent, burning smell was emitted. His remaining spiritual energy was desperately trying to repair the damage to his skin. He had never been in such a state since he began cultivating.
He stared at Charlie, his eyes filled with killing intent. This time, he didn’t mince words, instead gathering a large amount of spiritual energy into his flying sword and suddenly throwing it at Charlie.
The flying sword seemed to have the power to destroy an army of ten thousand, hissing as it attacked Charlie.
This was the first time Charlie had seen such a fast flying sword. He had originally wanted to take advantage of his advantage and unleash a few more Lightning Tokens, hoping to at least skin Wu Bolin alive if he couldn’t kill him. However, seeing the powerful and heavy flying sword, he knew that his body definitely wasn’t strong enough to withstand it. So he immediately used all his strength to dodge to the right.
To Charlie’s surprise, his body seemed to be under some kind of spell, like it was trapped in a quagmire, making him move much slower and with more difficulty than usual.
Then he realized that the flying sword seemed to carry some kind of pressure. Not only was it powerful and unstoppable, but it could also release pressure to increase the resistance of the target’s movement!
At first he thought he could dodge, but unexpectedly, his movements were hampered and slowed down, and even with all his strength, he couldn’t dodge.
It was only at this moment that he realized the immense power generated by a high cultivation level was almost all-encompassing. Even the most ordinary flying sword attack could produce such an effect. How could he, who only relied on the Lightning Token, be a match for it?
Realizing that he couldn’t escape, Charlie immediately gathered all his spiritual energy in front of him, creating an invisible wall of extremely dense spiritual energy around him, intending to withstand the attack relying solely on his spiritual energy.
The invisible and intangible spiritual energy directly collided with the flying sword, which was traveling at breakneck speed. The spiritual energy was like a dense atmosphere, while the flying sword was like a meteorite tearing through the sky. Although Charlie’s cultivation wasn’t as good as Wu Bolin’s, he possessed a wealth of spiritual energy. This time, he truly exerted all his strength, desperately squeezing and rubbing Wu Bolin’s flying sword with his spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy Wu Bolin poured into the flying sword, along with the massive amount of spiritual energy released by Charlie, was all converted into friction and heat in the air. The powerful spiritual energy devoured each other in the air, and the flying sword’s speed seemed to decrease rapidly, as if it were desperately trying to find a way out. The immense friction even caused the air to start burning, and the flying sword gradually began to turn red!
Immediately after, the flying sword almost stopped moving, and like a tungsten filament heated by an electric current, it emitted a scorching and bright light, causing the ice layer beneath it to begin to melt and form a small puddle.
A moment later, the flying sword slowly weakened, clearly having reached the limits of its capabilities.
Wu Bolin was shocked. He waved his hand to take back his flying sword and stared at Charlie coldly, saying, “Good boy, you actually expended so much spiritual energy to take my sword. With this rate of energy consumption, I reckon you can only take two of my swords at most. You’ve already taken one. Once you take another one, I’ll definitely chop off your dog head!”
Charlie sneered and mocked, “You old dog, you must not have much spiritual energy left, right?”
Wu Bolin said indifferently, “So what? At least it’s enough to kill you!”
Charlie laughed and said, “That’s not necessarily true!”
After saying that, he immediately took out a large Qi-boosting Pill and popped it into his mouth. The powerful pill instantly replenished all the spiritual energy he had just lost.
Wu Bolin was stunned!
His cultivation level was higher than Charlie’s, so he could easily see Charlie’s spiritual energy condition.
He also witnessed Charlie recover his spiritual energy completely with just one pill.
He was shocked and immediately exclaimed, “What kind of pill are you using?! Even the Low Grade Qi Enhancing Pill given by the sage lord is far less effective than this pill!”
Charlie sneered: “A small Qi Cultivation Pill? I bet you cut one Qi Cultivation Pill into ten pieces, then urinated on them and mixed them with mud to make ten pills, right?”
The image of the scene was so terrifying that Wu Bolin didn’t even dare to think about it. He frowned and scolded, “Even when you’re about to die, you’re still so foul-mouthed! Answer all my questions. If I’m in a good mood, I might even leave your corpse intact!”
Charlie sneered, “Old dog, you might not be able to kill me today, because I’ve taken the Great Qi Cultivation Pill, which is much more powerful than ordinary Qi Cultivation Pills, even more powerful than small Qi Cultivation Pills! Although my cultivation isn’t as good as yours, I’m much richer than you! In the end, I might be the one who won’t lose!”
