"Both of you, step back. That was just a branch of lightning, not very powerful. If a big thunderbolt strikes, there'll be danger for both of you." Tang Banqing waved at Lin Tian and Ling Zishan, telling them to leave the high platform.
Lin Tian suddenly realized; no wonder the lightning energy was so little, and the thunder earlier hadn't harmed him or Ling Zishan.
Ling Zishan was the first to withdraw her True Qi, and after a slight breath control, she retreated from the high platform. Lin Tian took a look at the fusion inside and also stepped down.
Outside the Nine-story Pagoda, the sky was full of dark clouds. Though the rain wasn't heavy, there was lightning and thunder, and the heavens were displaying their might.
Another flash of white light streaked by, followed by a deafening rumble. A lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck the sword furnace, causing a loud sizzling sound, and the entire furnace erupted in dazzling sparks and electric light.
