Chapter 80 Is This the Legendary Orange Demon?

Maó Zìmiǎo felt like she was stuck in the air, unable to move. She looked at the demon deer's antlers, which were getting brighter and brighter, but strangely, her heart was unexpectedly calm.

Why did I make such a basic mistake?

Was it because I got shocked by electricity just now?

Or was it because I saw Wang Qi being kicked away and his life or death unknown, which made me lose my focus?

Now that I think about it, what did I feel when I saw little Qi kicked away? Was I anxious? Or... was it... pain?

Then, the half-demon girl saw a black shadow dashing straight toward her. When she looked closely, it was none other than Wang Qi, who was just kicked away.

The protective barrier created by the material waves worked surprisingly well. Wang Qi essentially wore a shell that absorbed the shock, so he was hardly hurt. But when Maó Zìmiǎo looked at his expression, it seemed a little frantic.

Is it because of me? The girl wondered.

Only after Wang Qi entered the demon deer's attack range did the half-demon girl's slow brain finally remember a more important question.

"Do you want to die with me, Wang Qi?"

Maó Zìmiǎo had originally planned to push Wang Qi away, but Qi Cultivation cultivators couldn't float in the air. If Maó Zìmiǎo could push him away, she would have already escaped from the demon deer's lightning range.

Her thoughts had no effect on Wang Qi. Finally, before the demon deer attacked, Wang Qi grabbed Maó Zìmiǎo's hand.

Maó Zìmiǎo felt a tingling sensation, like being electrocuted, from the hand that Wang Qi held. This tingling, itchy feeling instantly spread all over the half-demon girl's body.

"Eh? Is this the feeling my mom talked about? When you meet someone you like, you feel this... love?"

That was the last question in the girl's mind.

And then, the blue lightning consumed the two of them.

"No!" On the ground, Wǔ Shīqín cried out in despair.

However, Sū Jūnyǔ had already seen everything. In midair, he nodded in satisfaction, but his finishing move remained unused.

There was no need for it. After the lightning, Wang Qi and Maó Zìmiǎo were unharmed.

That's right, they were unharmed. Except for being thrown higher by the explosion caused by the lightning splitting the air, they were completely fine.

Maó Zìmiǎo's cheeks were red. She hadn't even realized that she had escaped danger. The half-demon girl's small brain was now entirely occupied by the "love shock" feeling.

Wang Qi was staring at the demon deer and didn't notice Maó Zìmiǎo's strange behavior. If he knew what the half-demon girl was thinking, he would probably grab her by the ear and shout, "That wasn't 'love shock'—that was really being shocked, you silly cat!"

Yes, it was an electric shock—high voltage, low current.

The basic technique of Tiāngēxíng, the Tiāngē Tiānyuán group, is what Earth calls Maxwell's equations. Even though quantum physics and relativity have completely surpassed classical physics, Maxwell's equations are still the best way to describe the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces. Tiāngēxíng directly targets the essence of electromagnetic force, and its real use is far more than just emitting electric arcs or attracting metals.

Anything related to electromagnetic changes, Tiāngēxíng can do it!

High voltage, low current, is one of those things. Electric shocks harm the human body mainly because of the current size, while voltage is more like the "output limit." The reason humans on Earth die from 110 volts is because of the endless supply of current from the grid. But if you have a discharge device with 100,000 volts but only release less than a milliampere of current, it would only sting the skin.

For Tiāngēxíng, this is not difficult. Although it's not like Tiānshēngjué, which can infinitely increase temperature, Qi Cultivation stage cultivators can easily increase their voltage to several hundred volts. Female cultivators from the Bēnléi Pavilion, who are shy, often use this technique to tease their lovers when they are hesitating about whether to welcome them. It's rumored that a proud young lady from the Bēnléi Pavilion, before her duel with a disciple of the Wànfǎmén, shocked her lover countless times using this technique, and that unnamed warrior still stood up to fight on her behalf in a life-or-death battle.

Wang Qi stared at the demon deer below him and smiled mischievously. Suddenly, he tightly hugged Maó Zìmiǎo, and in the middle of the half-demon girl's confused "Meow?", he used a Thousand Pound Drop technique and dove straight at the demon deer's head.

The demon deer did not expect that these two seemingly weak creatures could withstand its innate lightning ability. It panicked and roared, sending several arcs of lightning into its antlers.

However, the lightning, which had previously been unstoppable, did nothing to them.

"Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, nǎ nǎ nǎ nǎ nǎ nǎ..."

Wang Qi suddenly got excited and hummed a song from Earth. To the tune of this off-key, otherworldly melody, the two of them crashed into the demon deer's head.

The demon deer was dazed by the impact. Taking the opportunity, Wang Qi used his soft force to toss the half-demon girl onto a tree. The remaining electricity on Maó Zìmiǎo's body released into the tree, leaving a charred mark.

Wang Qi laughed loudly, gripping the demon deer's antlers. "If the wave pattern can't fix you, then try my magnetic—Sea Tiger Roar Punch!" He said, using all of his Tiāngēxíng power and delivering a punch.

The demon deer cried out in pain, its antlers glowing blue again, but Wang Qi, holding onto the antlers, seemed completely unaffected by the lightning.

"Xiao Qi, danger, jump over here, meow!" Maó Zìmiǎo, her cheeks still flushed, called out to Wang Qi in worry. She hadn't yet recovered from the fact that she was "held by a man."

But this "shy girl moment" of hers was destined to be wasted. When Wang Qi hugged her, it was simply a spontaneous thought—what if this guy suddenly turned into an adult human form and said, "Is this the legendary orange demon?" That would be hilarious. And so, just to make that obscure reference from Earth, he casually grabbed the only orange thing nearby—Maó Zìmiǎo's hair, which was orange.

At that moment, the demon deer's antlers were shining so brightly that it was hard to look at, and countless arcs of lightning were dancing between them. However, Wang Qi remained completely unharmed. He laughed loudly, and with one punch, he slammed it onto the demon deer's nose. "Beast! I'll tell you something the Bēnléi Pavilion discovered before I finish you off…"

Saying that, he punched the base of the demon deer's antlers again. "The power of lightning is based on the potential difference between you and me…"

Then, he stomped on the ground, hitting the demon deer's skull directly. "Your lightning, with a voltage of less than 700 volts... just happens to be within the voltage increase range of my Tiāngēxíng…"

Finally, he performed a knife-hand strike on the demon deer's antlers. "Now, we're at the same potential, and your lightning is just a loose form of demon power to me!"
