People fought to defend themselves from the many bolts of lightning that fell down from the sky and managed to do so barely at the expense of what little Immortal Qi they had left.
They also protected those who would have otherwise died on the onslaught and fought back against every bolt of lightning that fell from the sky.
The elders and Yan Yating protected Zhou Linfan and Long Huan who had remained behind, the stronger soldiers protected the weaker ones, and the beasts protected the weaker beasts.
Pearl was protected by both his uncle and Senior Yao.
Hannah moved to protect her mother and Alex, fending off every bolt of lightning that rained down from the sky.
By the time the lightning rain came to a stop, every single person who was strong enough to mess with the Dragon Emperor was in shambles.
They were low on their Immortal Qi and without much means to protect even themselves if they needed to.
