The Eternal Supreme Chapter 2399: 2398-struck by lightning

“Young miss, young miss.”

Nudging Su Peiqing repeatedly, the maidservant waved her hand before her mistress's eyes. “Miss, have you lost your mind? Hehe.”

The maidservant teased with a peculiar laugh, “Don’t tell me you’ve actually developed feelings for this fool? Tsk, tsk, though aside from being a simpleton, this fool is undeniably handsome.”

Su Peiqing rapped her on the head several times, rebuking, “Who gave you permission to mock me! Look closely at Xiao Sha. I never truly observed him before. Don’t you think he bears a resemblance to someone?”

“Resemble someone? Who?”

The maidservant scrutinized the little fool for a moment, tilting her head in thought. “Eh, now that you mention it, miss, there is a likeness. I just can’t quite place who it is right now.”

Su Peiqing’s expression grew grave, her face radiating profound respect. “Li Yunxiao, the leader of the Heavenly Martial League!”

“Ah!”

The maidservant gasped in astonishment. “Now that you say it, miss, they really do look quite similar.”

“Five years ago,” Su Peiqing remarked with emotion, “Li Yunxiao, the Alliance Leader, and the Six-winged Devil Lord engaged in a world-shaking battle in the Southern Region. Following that, the six wings transformed into six currents of spiritual Qi and dispersed across the vast world, leading to the birth of the six super Sects. All of them flourished under that Qi, and powerful cultivators began to emerge in droves. For five years, the Heavenly Martial League has circulated portraits globally to find him, searching even the Four Seas, yet there has been no word.”

“I’ve heard many rumors about this,” the maidservant whispered suddenly. “Most people say that Li Yunxiao must have perished.”

Su Peiqing’s face paled slightly. She glared at the girl and warned, “You must not say such things. The members of the Heavenly Martial League revere Li Yunxiao as a god. If they overheard you, the entire Su family would be wiped out because of your tongue!”

The maidservant stuck out her tongue in fear and giggled nervously, “Don’t worry, I would only ever say this to you, miss.”

Su Peiqing’s expression darkened as she scolded, “You aren't allowed to say it to me either. In my heart, Li Yunxiao is a being higher than any God. If you mention it again, I’ll beat you every single day!”

Realizing her mistress wasn't joking, the frightened maidservant quickly covered her mouth and stayed silent.

Su Peiqing looked over at the little fool, who was still wearing his vacant smile. She sighed softly. “If only you were the Alliance Leader. Unfortunately, it’s impossible.”

With a resentful sigh, the three of them slipped into the Su family’s backyard and headed toward Su Peiqing’s private courtyard.

However, the moment she stepped inside, she was intercepted by members of the Lei family.

“Ah, who are you?”

Su Peiqing panicked, immediately identifying the man with the repulsive face. It was Lei Mang, the Young Master of the Lei family.

Lei Mang was bloated and obese, his porcine face twisted into a vulgar grin. Upon seeing Su Peiqing, his tiny eyes gleamed with lust. “Wifey, I’ve come to take you home.”

“Who is your wife? You are shameless, let me go!”

Su Peiqing struggled desperately in her panic. However, her captors were both at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm. Under their overwhelming pressure, she was unable to move.

The maidservant and Xiao Sha were also seized.

“Hahaha, why are you screaming? How can a wife insult her husband?”

Lei Mang laughed lecherously. “I understand. Our bond must not be deep enough yet. Let’s head to the bridal chamber immediately to cultivate our relationship.”

“Hahaha!”

The surrounding men laughed crudely, their faces filled with desire. They leered at Su Peiqing, while others directed their gazes at the pretty maidservant.

Su Peiqing’s face turned deathly pale. She had always been clever, but these people had invaded her courtyard so boldly, and the Su family gates were surrounded. Despite Lei Mang’s loud laughter, there was no response from her clan. It was clear something terrible had happened.

“You thugs!” she cried out in distress. “What have you done to my family?!”

Lei Mang clicked his tongue and chuckled. “So you’re a filial daughter. It’s nothing serious, really. My father is currently speaking with your parents. The two families have agreed that I should take you away today. However, to better our bond, it’s best we consummate the marriage before we depart.”

“Take her to the room,” he commanded with a wave of his hand, laughing.

The two warriors holding Su Peiqing understood the order immediately and began dragging her toward her bedroom.

Su Peiqing’s face lost all color. Her fragile body shook with terror as tears streamed down her face.

She realized she was helpless, and her family was equally powerless to intervene. This was her destiny. Though she wept and fought, she could not overcome the strength of two peak Martial Emperors.

“Ah! Release the miss!”

Silly suddenly exploded with unexpected momentum, breaking free from the two warriors guarding him. He lunged forward, leaping into the air to tackle a peak Martial Emperor to the ground.

Xiao Sha scrambled up and charged at the other peak Martial Emperor.

“It’s this idiot!”

Lei Mang’s face darkened as he spat, “I’ve hated this fool for a long time. He’s always lingering around my wife. Damn it, especially since this moron's face is more handsome than mine!”

His expression grew even more vicious as he glared at Su Peiqing like a vulture. He asked coldly, “Are you having an affair with this fool?”

Su Peiqing’s tears wouldn't stop; she was consumed by anger, grief, and humiliation.

Xiao Sha, manifesting strange strength, headbutted the other peak Martial Emperor and shoved him aside. He then rushed to help Su Peiqing, who had fallen. “Miss, run! If you run, they can't hit you!”

Su Peiqing scrambled up, intending to bolt.

The two peak Martial Emperors were furious after being humiliated by the fool. They roared in unison and charged back, intent on tearing the idiot to pieces.

“Bang!”

Two heavy blows struck Xiao Sha’s back, but he seemed unharmed. He merely stumbled forward and fell, pinning Su Peiqing to the ground just as she tried to rise.

The two were sprawled together, with the little fool lying directly on top of Su Peiqing.

“Ahhh?!!”

Lei Mang erupted in a jealous rage. Clutching his head, his eyes turned bloodshot. He screamed, “Beat him! Kill this fool! Slaughter this idiot!”

Su Peiqing was stunned. She lay stiff on the ground, pinned by Xiao Sha. The sensation was incredibly strange, especially given the dire circumstances.

Seeing the mob rushing to attack him, the little fool wrapped his arms tightly around Su Peiqing to shield her. He yelled, “Don’t hit the miss! If you want to fight, hit me! You aren't allowed to touch her!”

Su Peiqing felt Xiao Sha’s tight embrace. Their bodies were pressed so close that breathing became difficult.

Yet, hearing his words, she felt a flicker of emotion and a bizarre sense of safety.

A barrage of fists and kicks rained down on Xiao Sha’s back, but he refused to let go, shielding Su Peiqing while shouting, “Hit me, just don’t hit the miss!”

Lei Mang saw them clinging to each other and felt as though he had been cuckolded. He bellowed,

“I’m going to kill you!”

He charged forward as the crowd parted for him.

Lei Mang raised his hand, channeling a technique with his left while a sphere of green lightning formed in his right palm. He slammed it toward the fool’s back. Thunder Palm!

Su Peiqing was horrified and tried to shove the fool away. “Run, quickly! This strike will kill you!”

But the little fool held her so firmly she couldn't move him.

“Bang!”

The palm connected with Silly’s back. Unexpectedly, at the point of impact, a complex lightning pattern manifested and surged across Silly’s body.

In a flash, the little fool’s entire frame seemed electrified. However, Su Peiqing, lying beneath him, remained completely untouched.

Lei Mang froze in confusion. He had never witnessed such lightning patterns or electric arcs before.

He stood paralyzed.

His pupils contracted as he saw hundreds of multicolored lightning talismans appearing on the fool’s back.

Suddenly, a massive boom echoed from the clear sky. A bolt of lightning descended from the heavens and struck Lei Mang directly on the head. With a deafening blast, he was vaporized, leaving nothing behind.

“Ah?”

The witnesses were stunned into silence. Had there not been a twenty-foot-wide charred crater in the courtyard, they would have believed it was a hallucination.

“This is a disaster! The Young Master has been killed by lightning!”

The disciples of the Thunder Hold Sect panicked, scattering in all directions to report the news to the main hall.

Lei Ba had only this one son and doted on him excessively. He wouldn't have personally come to kidnap a woman otherwise. This was a catastrophe.

“Get up, get up quickly!”

Su Peiqing was also dazed by the events. It wasn't until someone shouted that she realized she was still pinned by the little fool, and she began pushing against him.

Xiao Sha looked around in confusion, muttered an “Oh,” and reluctantly climbed off Su Peiqing.

The maidservant hurried over, pointing at them with a strange look. “Young miss, you two just... you were so close.”

Su Peiqing’s face darkened as she threatened coldly, “If you say another word, I’ll marry you off to Lai Er at the pawnshop. He’s been eyeing you for years.”

The maidservant’s expression shifted to horror, and she clamped her mouth shut.

Word of Lei Mang’s death by lightning reached the main hall instantly. In a heartbeat, every expert present rushed to the courtyard.

Lei Ba’s eyes were wide as he stared at the scorched hole. After a long silence, he regained his voice, speaking with icy stillness,

“Where is my son?”

His voice was thick with grief and brewing rage. Not only Lei Mang’s followers, but the Su family members also trembled in fear.

Su Mo signaled his kin, preparing for Lei Ba to lose all control.

A terrified Lei disciple stammered, “Young Master... the Young Master is... gone...”
