Please don't force me to be a god.

As the thunder and lightning fell more and more.

The platform was full of flowers, and the platform floor was blasted into pits and burnt black.

As the wood chips increased, small flames were ignited by lightning.

Seeing this, Zhang Tian knew that he could not consume the thunderclouds with the strength of two people today.

So, the backup plan was activated.

Zhang Tian shouted to the palace gate: "Xu Wen! Lightning rod."

Xu Wen's roar came from the palace gate plan: "The immortal master has ordered, start the art of deceiving the sky!"

"Hey!! Start the art of deceiving the sky!!"

"Hey!! Start the art of deceiving the sky!!"

The order came from the palace gate and spread layer by layer around the square.

Suddenly, the imperial guards pulled out an iron chain from the ground and buckled it on the long wood that was originally used to block the onlookers.

As several soldiers roared in unison, a lightning rod rose from the ground.

It was more than ten feet higher than the platform.

Such lightning rods, with the platform as the center, were erected in dozens of places within a radius of thousands of meters.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

As soon as the lightning rods were erected, most of the lightning was dispersed, and the lightning struck the iron chains, splashing sparks.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"Everyone, stay away from the lightning rods!"

After the imperial army erected the lightning rods, they immediately retreated, and at the same time shouted at the people who were close to them not to get close.

In fact, there was no need to remind them. The lightning rods were covered with flames, and any normal person would not dare to get close.

The pressure on Zhang Tian and Bai Yuchan was suddenly much less.

Bai Yuchan sighed, "What a great formation to deceive the heaven!"

Zhang Tian smiled slightly and said, "I believe you, Taoist Bai, also know this little trick, right?"

Bai Yuchan said, "I only know that gold can attract lightning, but I have overlooked the need for grounding."

"If I had noticed this earlier, I am afraid that so many Taoist friends would not have died when practicing the Heavenly Thunder Technique."

At this time, there were dozens of iron chains around, all buried in the ground at one end. With Bai Yuchan's eyes, he could see the secret at a glance.

In fact, the phenomenon of metal attracting lightning has been noticed by people for a long time.

It was even applied to palaces and high-rise buildings with a half-understanding.

However, the ancients often associated it with heavenly punishment, ghosts and gods, so the lightning rods they made were very complicated, and even had to be made into various shapes of mythical beasts.

Therefore, due to comprehensive cognition, cost and other factors, it has not been popularized.

Bai Yuchan glanced at the sky and said, "The thunderclouds are about to reach their thickest. I'm afraid we will have the strongest thunderstorm in the near future."

"Since Master Zhang has already set up a formation, it's meaningless for us to fight against the thunder with human power."

When Huiyuan heard this, his bitter face suddenly showed joy, and he put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, in that case, why don't we go down?"

"Okay." Zhang Tian nodded.

When Huiyuan heard this, he immediately took a step and took the lead in walking down the wooden ladder.

Before he walked a few steps, lightning started to strike above his head!

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

It was like a net, hitting the platform.

Bai Yuchan jumped to the edge of the platform, casually borrowed some strength from the wood, and instantly fell from the platform to the ground.

Seeing that the lightning was so fierce, Zhang Tian didn't dare to pretend anymore.

He also jumped to the edge and started the thrusters of the space suit. He didn't borrow strength from the wood, and fell like a wisp of light smoke.

When Huiyuan saw this, he was very anxious. He immediately ignored his image and rushed down from the top with his fat body.

Lightning kept striking him along the way, as if chasing him.

The four monks on the ground hurriedly shouted: "Abbot, walk faster!"

Huiyuan cursed in his heart, do you think I don't want to run faster? I have to run faster.

Huiyuan had to run and shout: "Mr. Zhang, Taoist Bai, why is this thunder chasing me?"

"I am a Buddhist disciple, not under the jurisdiction of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court."

Zhang Tian smiled and said: "Master, do you have any gold on you? Throw it away quickly."

"I am a monk, I have nothing, the Buddhist beads are made of sandalwood, only this cassock..."

At this point, Huiyuan was startled and immediately pulled off the cassock and threw it aside.

"Boom..."

Before the cassock landed on the ground, it was struck by a bolt of lightning, and it immediately became tattered and sparked.

When it appeared just now, the cassock was shining with golden light, and it was obviously woven with gold thread.

It is a natural conductor that attracts lightning.

Just now on the high platform, if Zhang Tian and Bai Yuchan had not actively attracted lightning, Hui Yuan would have been struck countless times.

Hui Yuan panted and finally got off the high platform. He no longer cared about his image as a monk and hid inside the high platform.

At this time, it was the peak of the thunderstorm, and there was lightning everywhere within the range of the lightning rod network.

This is more severe than the lightning caused by Zhang Tian's body magnetic field.It was countless times stronger, and wood chips, soil and rocks flew everywhere.

At this time, dark clouds filled the sky, and the ground was dark. Lightning kept falling and illuminating the area.

Zhang Tian and Bai Yuchan did not dare to run around at this time, and they took shelter from lightning under the high platform together.

This doomsday-like scene frightened the onlookers outside.

Without persuasion, they squeezed back desperately, fearing that they would get close to the lightning net.

"Boom..."

"Oh..."

Suddenly a flash of lightning passed through the lightning rod area and hit the crowd outside.

Immediately, black smoke came out of a person's body, and the people around him were also knocked down by lightning.

"Oh my God, run away, the thunder is coming."

Some people started to run, but it would not be so easy.

There were already people standing crowded together, so there was no extra space for them to run.

Zhang Tian looked up.

It turned out that the thundercloud began to weaken and continued to dissipate around.

The remaining lightning was attracted by the ground and naturally struck down.

Zhang Tian hurriedly shouted: "Metal absorbs lightning. Throw away the gold on your body."

The nearby imperial guards who were maintaining order heard it and shouted in unison: "Metal absorbs lightning, throw away the gold!"

"Throw the gold!!"

"Throw the gold!!"

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

Several more lightning bolts struck down.

One even struck the imperial guards' spears, and a ball of fire was split from the spear tip.

The soldiers holding the spears suddenly froze and stayed where they were, not knowing if they were okay.

Several soldiers were so scared that they threw away their swords and spears.

A nearby leader was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him, cursing: "Soldiers are the soul of the army! Even if they are killed by thunder, they cannot be thrown away, pick them up!"

When the nearby imperial guards heard it, they quickly tightened their weapons, but did not dare to raise them any higher, and pressed all the weapons to the ground.

But the common people were not so particular.

"Ding ding dang dang" they threw their gold and silver jewelry all over the ground.

Some people instinctively threw them into the sky, and suddenly "boom...", lightning hit the gold in mid-air, splashing a large ball of sparks.

Others were scared and threw more happily.

In a blink of an eye, the ground was full of various metal jewelry, even knives and swords.

For this magic battle event, Lin'an Prefecture had already strictly prohibited the carrying of weapons on the street.

However, there were too many people, and it was impossible to search them one by one, so they could only check those long weapons at the intersection.

It was naturally impossible to check these small weapons carried close to the body one by one.

However, ordinary people would not carry weapons on the street.

Even if these people did not have any bad intentions, they must not be good people.

Everyone had just seen the rolling thunder, and no matter how bold they were, they did not dare to risk being struck by lightning and carry weapons on their bodies.

It was just a short knife and a small sword, and it was definitely not as valuable as life.

Anyway, there were so many people and the situation was so chaotic that the officials and the imperial guards couldn't find out who threw it.
