The villagers, who believed that the villager recently saved by the Taoist priest was still bound, were startled to see him suddenly jump up from the ground and speak incoherently. The villagers hurriedly rushed towards him. "Aken, are you okay? Do you recognize me? Don't scare me," an old man put down the shovel in his hand and rushed towards Aken, shaking him continuously. If it weren't for the Taoist priest's claim that he wanted to offer a sacrifice to his son Chris, how could he have acted as a father? In an instant, the smile on the Taoist priest's face vanished, and his expression turned extremely gloomy. If he allowed the person in front of him to continue speaking, his true identity might be exposed. It appeared that the Taoist priest also had something in his possession that suddenly materialized. His eyes flickered as he aimed at Aken. Just as he was about to release what he held, a cold glint suddenly appeared in front of him. "Swish!" The silver needle from Christopher Yard was the cold glint in the Taoist priest's eyes. Just as the silver needle was about to touch the Taoist priest's hand, he swiftly dodged it with lightning speed. "Huh?" Seeing the Taoist priest evade his silver needle, Christopher Yard couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The speed of his silver needle was not slow, even though he had thrown it casually, but this Taoist priest managed to dodge it. It seemed that this Taoist priest was not as weak as Christopher Yard had initially thought. He still possessed some skills. However, for now, the Taoist priest couldn't harm Aken. That was the purpose of throwing the silver needle just now. "Dad, I'm your son Chris. Of course, I know who you are. But you shouldn't trust this Taoist priest anymore. I personally witnessed him killing the people in our village before, it's true!!" The villagers, who had previously believed that Aken was speaking nonsense, looked incredulous after hearing his words. They distanced themselves from the Taoist priest. "Mr. Taoist, how did Aken's evil aura suddenly disappear?" Christopher Yard looked at the Taoist priest with a slight smile. He didn't believe that this Taoist priest possessed any spells or abilities.The gloomy-faced Taoist once again retrieved the peach wood sword from behind him, muttering some incantations. He made a cut on the peach wood sword with his left hand, and a drop of blood immediately spread on the surface of the sword. Christopher Yard shook his head in disbelief. It was ridiculous that the Taoist was still resorting to tricks and hadn't escaped yet. This Taoist was quite interesting. He decided to quietly observe what this guy was up to. However, Serene Hayes, who stood beside him, couldn't tolerate it any longer. She didn't come here to play around. She had to go back and report the situation to Jefferey Reed. The situation needed to be resolved quickly. Serene Hayes gestured to her subordinates behind her with her right hand. The two police officers who heard the signal came forward and quickly handcuffed the Taoist, who was engaged in some unknown activity. Just as the two police officers were about to subdue the Taoist, numerous lightning bolts suddenly appeared on the peach wood sword. However, the Taoist remained unaffected, and a smile appeared on his face once again. "Thunderwood Secret Technique! Thunderclap and Lightning Flash!"The Taoist then pointed the sword fiercely at Christopher Yard and the others. Dozens of thumb-sized lightning bolts appeared on the surface of the peach wood sword, heading straight for Christopher Yard and the others. "Sizzle! Sizzle!" These lightning bolts resembled venomous snakes carrying thunderous light. No matter how the nearby people ran, the lightning bolts relentlessly pursued them until they struck something. "What the hell, he's really skilled in spells!" Christopher Yard couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. Only the people present could witness the situation with dozens of lightning bolts on the peach wood sword. The largest lightning bolt was already heading towards him. Where was the system? Where was the Thumbs-Up System? Shouldn't it be warning the Host of the life-threatening danger and coming to save him at this time? Several black lines flashed across Christopher Yard's forehead as he ran frantically and pondered. It wasn't his fault. Suddenly, dozens of lightning bolts emerged from the peach wood sword, and they could even pursue him. The most important thing was that the system didn't even provide a warning.If this continued, would he be struck to death? Christopher Yard didn't even have a chance to take a deep breath now. He was starting to feel frightened. After all, this was not ordinary lightning. It was a spell, something called Thunderwood Secret Technique according to the Taoist! Damn it, when I go back, I need to practice spells too. I will thoroughly explore everything on Thumbs-Up Online Mall. I don't believe there are no spells. I absolutely can't tolerate this damn Taoist! The pursuit of Christopher Yard by this lightning bolt didn't cease even after it split a tree in half. Soon enough, Christopher Yard was completely struck by the lightning bolt. In that instant, for some unknown reason, a strand of lightning seeped into Christopher Yard's phone. At that moment, Christopher Yard's hair stood on end, his face turned black, smoke emitted from his mouth, and his clothes were tattered. Not long ago, he was shocked by an electric baton, and now he was struck by lightning. He seemed to have a special affinity with electricity! When Christopher Yard finally regained his senses, he didn't care about his appearance. He realized that he was the only one who had been struck by lightning and hadn't fallen unconscious, while others, including Serene Hayes, were already out cold. At some point, the Taoist priest had vanished, which further frustrated Christopher Yard. He spat out the smoke in his mouth and prepared to save the others. After rescuing the villagers and Serene Hayes, a mechanical voice echoed in Christopher Yard's mind: "Ding! Congratulations, Host! Waking up a person struck by lightning rewards the system with 2000 thumbs-up points!" "Ding! Congratulations, Host! Waking up a person struck by lightning rewards the system with 2000 thumbs-up points!" "Ding! Congratulations, Host! Waking up a person struck by lightning rewards the system with 2000 thumbs-up points!" "Ding! Congratulations, Host! Waking up a person struck by lightning rewards the system with 2000 thumbs-up points!" "..." Within a short period of time, Christopher Yard discovered that his Thumbs-Up Online Mall had received an additional 160,000 thumbs-up points. This surprised him, but also made him burst into laughter. With his white teeth contrasting against his blackened face, Christopher Yard couldn't help but smile. If someone saw him, they might burst into laughter as well. "Well, it turns out there are actually some advantages to being struck by lightning! If I could receive 16 thumbs-up points each time, I wouldn't mind experiencing it a few more times!" Upon rescuing Serene Hayes and the rest, Serene Hayes caught sight of Christopher Yard and let out a scream, but soon couldn't contain her laughter. When Christopher Yard noticed, she stifled her laughter and tried to compose herself.
