Soon, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees rapidly withered and dried up.
Wang Daniu instinctively moved Bai Susu behind him, watching the skies above with caution.
He knew in his heart that a fierce battle was inevitable.
Unexpectedly, the Mother of Lightning, who had been locked in intense combat, now stood between the two of them.
She possessed a boldness as if one man were holding the pass against ten thousand enemies.
"Lei Gong, everything that happened today was my doing, and I am willing to bear the consequences."
"I am willing to ascend with you to the Heavenly Realm and accept punishment, but please, spare Wang Daniu and Bai Susu."
Even now, the Mother of Lightning's heart was still set on how to protect Wang Daniu.
This, of course, infuriated Lei Gong immensely.
It seemed their tens of thousands of years of friendship could not compare to a few hours of emotions shared between these two.
His rage deepened, and his resentment towards Wang Daniu grew stronger.
