The sky had returned to its original state.
Although the sky in the Thunder God's realm was originally overcast with dense clouds and crisscrossing lightning, it was still more reassuring than during the thunderstorm.
Wu Tian came back to his senses and followed everyone to the fence. The scene before them filled them with deep shock.
At this moment, almost no intact ground remained outside the fence; it was covered with deep pits struck by lightning, making it impossible to find a foothold.
Everyone felt their hair stand on end.
They dared not even imagine what their fate would have been if they had been outside.
However, since the crisis had been averted, those present felt a sense of relief, unconsciously touching their chests and exhaling slightly.
"We finally made it through, that was terrifying."
"Yes, this Thunder God's realm is truly frightening!"
"After several days, I haven't gained a single benefit, and now I've almost died here."
"Alas, if I had known it was so dangerous here, I shouldn't have come. To be honest, I'm starting to regret it."
People lamented, but more than anything, they rejoiced in their survival.
Just then, a discordant voice rang out: "Kid, the thunderstorm saved your life just now, but now that it's gone, you still have to die here!"
Everyone turned their heads in unison and saw Wang Shi, whose face was grim.
It was then that they suddenly remembered that Wu Tian and Wang Shi had just had such a fierce conflict.
Given the current situation, Wang Shi was unlikely to let it go.
Wu Tian had also anticipated that he would continue to cause trouble, so his expression remained calm.
He said lightly, "Do you just enjoy pestering me this much?"
"But if you want to continue, then so be it. It's all the same to me, anytime."
Wang Shi said grimly, "It seems you intend to maintain this pretense until the end, don't you?"
"Fine, I welcome it, because that way, I'll have plenty of reason to kill you."
As their conversation progressed, the atmosphere that had just calmed down became exceptionally tense again.
Everyone's expressions stiffened, and their hearts leaped into their throats.
Originally, they did not want to get involved in such matters, as it had nothing to do with them and would only bring trouble.
However, after experiencing the thunderstorm, their mindset had shifted slightly. They felt that they had gone through the ordeal together and there was no need to make their relationship so strained.
Therefore, someone couldn't help but speak up: "Um... let me say a word of reason."
"I think it would be better for both of you to calm down and stop arguing."
"Everyone came here to improve their strength. You don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, so why must you fight to the death?"
Seeing that someone had taken the lead, others chimed in: "Yes, I also think it would be better for you to calm down."
"In a place like this, shouldn't we be helping each other? So let's not argue. What if we can help each other in the future?"
The crowd spoke one after another, all hoping that Wu Tian and Wang Shi could put aside their differences and stop clashing over this matter.
Wu Tian was indifferent, but how could Wang Shi accept such a suggestion?
Not only that, but he felt that the people around him were being too meddlesome, so he said coldly, "I say, aren't you all talking too much?"
"What business is it of yours? Is it your place to be saying all this?"
"I'm telling you, if you have any opinions, then step forward and confront me directly."
"If you don't have the guts, then you'd better shut up!"
"Otherwise, if anyone says one more word, do you believe I'll make sure they can never speak again?"
Seeing Wang Shi's extremely hostile attitude, those who had been trying to persuade him changed their expressions and dared not speak further.
Although they were willing to say a few words, they were not willing to do anything more.
After all, no matter what, their lives were the most important. So they all stepped back a bit, signifying their stance.
Seeing that everyone had backed down, Wang Shi let out a disdainful snort.
Then, he looked at Wu Tian and said, "Kid, if you think these people can save your dog life, then you're thinking too much."
"These people are cowards; they won't truly help you."
"But then again, cowards like them are the ones who live the longest, while fools like you are about to die here."
Seeing that Wang Shi had misunderstood him so much, everyone present felt a surge of anger.
But despite their anger, not a single person dared to speak.
After all, they were already angry when Wang Shi charged them, but in the end, they could only obediently pay.
This matter was no longer related to them. Even if Wu Tian was killed by Wang Shi, they wouldn't say anything more.
Wu Tian, however, did not take this to heart.
After all, he could understand their thoughts. Not everyone was willing to act for strangers like him.
He looked at Wang Shi and said, "It's fine. I don't need their help. After all, I'm enough to deal with you. Why would I need so many people?"
Wang Shi's eyelids twitched fiercely, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Good, good! Then I'll see what you can do all by yourself!"
After saying this, Wang Shi let out a low roar and struck out at Wu Tian.
Wang Shi's cultivation technique belonged to the earth element. Therefore, as soon as he struck out with his palm, countless rock fragments appeared out of thin air and flew towards Wu Tian like a torrential rain.
Although this move looked powerful, it was merely a spiritual skill.
Wu Tian also waved his hand, and several bolts of lightning shot out, shattering all the rock fragments.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The rock fragments turned into dense dust and mist in the air, while Wu Tian and Wang Shi, as if telepathically connected, charged at each other.
The dust and mist spread, obscuring everyone's vision. They could only hear the fierce sounds of battle.
Afterward, the two separated, and the dust and mist dissipated.
