Chapter 966: Attracting Lightning
A string of cracks and pops rang out from E Kuai's joints as he spoke, and his height was increased by several feet as he reached out with one hand, emulating what Han Li had done earlier as he forced the palm of his hand into the crimson light barrier until he made contact wti the statue inside.
In the instant that he made contact with the statue, he curled his fingers inward forcefully, piercing straight through the crimson light barrier to press his hand against the statue.
Immediately thereafter, he began chanting an urgent incantation, and the statue shuddered as the crimson light emanating from it dimmed significantly.
A dull thump rang out as the crimson cocoon around Qin Yuan imploded, and E Kuai made a hand seal with one hand while making a grabbing motion with the hand that had reached into the array, and a giant crimson hand projection appeared before making a grab for Qin Yuan.
Han Li was just about to intervene when a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart, and he immediately looked up at the sky.
At the same time, E Kuai also looked up, clearly having sensed the same thing.
At this moment, there were no longer any yellow clouds to be seen through the holes in the ceiling. Instead, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of dazzling silver light that was cascading down like a waterfall.
It was as if liquefied silver lightning were raining down from the heavens, gushing into the hall from above.
An earth-shattering thunderclap rang out, and all of the lightning converged to form an incredibly thick pillar of lightning that came crashing down upon E Kuai's head with unerring accuracy.
Thick arcs of lightning were constantly springing out of the pillar of lightning, and what sounded like draconic roars were ringing out incessantly from within.
Han Li hurriedly drifted over a hundred feet away upon seeing this, while a look of bewilderment flashed through E Kuai's eyes, following which he grabbed onto Qin Yuan and hurled him up at the oncoming pillar of lightning without any hesitation.
