As they drew closer to Thundercloud Valley, Yun Fan knew that if he could just hold on a moment longer, he would be able to escape inside. Whether he lived or died was now in the hands of fate.
Kong Ying watched in shock as Yun Fan took another blow and fell to the ground, yet still managed to sprint away. What kind of monster was this kid? Despite suffering such severe injuries, he could still run.
A murderous intent surged within Kong Ying; this kid had to die. If such a prodigy were allowed to live, his own demise was inevitable. He channeled his True Essence Power, pushing himself to the limit, moving even faster than before.
Yun Fan continued to run, his eyes fixed on the dark clouds ahead, where lightning flashed intermittently, accompanied by thunderous roars. Instead of fear, he felt a rush of excitement. His Dantian's spiritual energy surged as he summoned his last reserves of strength and dashed forward.
In an instant, he entered the valley shrouded in thunderclouds. The thunder roared like a tempest, crashing down with wild fury. There were no trees left standing; everything had been obliterated by the relentless lightning, exposing smooth black stones beneath.
Yun Fan took a few steps and looked up at the violent lightning looming overhead. His eyes widened in terror; was he really going to meet his end here? Kong Ying, who was still pursuing him, halted abruptly at the sight, too afraid to approach for fear of being struck down by the lightning.
Suddenly, with a deafening boom, a bolt of lightning descended but then inexplicably dissipated before hitting Yun Fan. He checked his body and found himself unscathed, without any pain. Surprise and excitement filled his eyes; it seemed that fate still favored him.
Kong Ying stared at Yun Fan standing unharmed before him, astonished. He had clearly seen the lightning strike down but was baffled that the boy had survived. Could it be that the lightning was merely an illusion? Just as he prepared to step forward and finish off Yun Fan, another bolt of lightning roared down towards him.
The ground shook as flames erupted and stones shattered into fragments that flew in all directions. Kong Ying was so frightened that his legs turned to jelly; he collapsed onto the ground and crawled backward for hundreds of meters.
As he watched the relentless lightning continue to fall around him, fear gripped him completely. He dared not take another step forward; had he moved just a moment earlier, he would have been struck dead by that lightning—reduced to nothing but ashes.
Yun Fan watched this scene, filled with confusion. Thunderbolts continuously struck from the sky, but as they reached above his head, they instantly dissipated. In contrast, Kong Ying had just stepped forward to enter when the thunder locked onto him, nearly striking him dead.
This indicated that the lightning was not an illusion but a real and tangible force. The fact that it did not strike Yun Fan could only mean one thing: the Key Token in his hand allowed him to evade the lightning, ensuring his safe passage inside.
As his conviction grew stronger, he believed that there was indeed a powerful Cave within Thundercloud Valley. With a sense of trepidation, he slowly moved forward, preparing to search for the Cave's location within the valley.
Standing outside Thundercloud Valley, Kong Ying watched as this young man suffered no harm. He understood that it must be due to the token. This confirmed that there truly was a Cave hidden within these mountains. As he saw the young man gradually disappear from his sight, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He shouted angrily, "You brat! Come out and hand over the token! Otherwise, when you emerge later, I will make sure to turn you into dust!"
