It was difficult for the onlookers to process what had just happened.
Just a second ago, General Zhuge was consoling the old man and telling him that he would be OK. Seeing this, the crowd was touched. They didn't expect General Zhuge to show such kindness, especially seeing as this old man had attempted to kill him in the past. However, none of them had expected what would happen after General Zhuge gave the iron needle to the old man.
All the onlookers had stared with wide eyes as they witnessed a golden lightning bolt fly towards the iron needle, strike the old man, and cause him to be obliterated. All sorts of thoughts were now going through their minds.
Why wasn't the lightning arrester functional?
He promised the old man would be OK, right? Why was he still killed?
The onlookers were totally stunned and looked at Xu Que dumbfoundedly. Xu Que stood on the hilltop with a smile.
