The ringing in Li Huowang's ears incessantly echoed, and he suddenly lost all sensation in his body, helplessly convulsing as he sank into the water.
"Huo... Huo..." Several blurry voices seemed to come from the horizon, indistinct and unclear.
Suddenly, it was as if his hearing returned in an instant, and the voices became unimaginably loud. "Li Huowang!!"
Just as the words ended, two large hands reached into the water and laboriously pulled him up.
"Li Huowang! Are you crazy! Holding up metal in a thunderstorm! Are you tired of living?" Wu Qi furiously yelled at him.
Li Huowang sluggishly lowered his head to look at the hand holding the knife, realizing that it had become a charred mess, with black scars extending from the burnt area along his veins throughout his body.
The events that just transpired flooded back into his stunned mind, and Li Huowang suddenly understood that he had been struck by lightning.
