        Despite the intense heat waves still coming from the ground and the surroundings being engulfed in fierce flames, everyone still gazed at Chen Yun with a curious expression, wanting to know the details of the recent battle.

    Chen Yun did not answer the crowd immediately, instead pointing to the corpse of Kang Yuan lying not far away and said, "I promised to leave him a complete corpse. Now that he has dispersed his qi and all vitality is gone, we will first bury him properly and then find a stable place to discuss matters."

    "The dog deserves to die a hundred times!"

    "Hmph, leaving him with a whole body was indeed too kind to him!"

    Long Nv Sanjiu, Gao Chen, and Ding Xu, among others who were previously buried underground, still looked indignant.

    Not to mention the people who were almost killed by Kang Yuan, even Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Zhang Ling, who were not affected as much, looked at Kang Yuan's corpse with endless contempt.

    These people are indeed outsiders in the cultivation world, but after all, they are still human beings, with basic virtues such as propriety, righteousness, modesty, and shame. How could it be that they wouldn't feel hatred for Kang Yuan's previous overly exaggerated actions?

    However, despite everyone's hatred, they still followed Chen Yun's words without hesitation.

    If it is said that before, everyone listened to Chen Yun's words because he was the legitimate heir of the Xuanmen School, and later he repeatedly used grand laws to save everyone, everyone's hearts were grateful, so they followed.

    Now, by comparing Chen Yun to Kang Yuan, everyone can see just how noble Chen Yun's character truly is. Not only has he not abandoned the group in the face of crisis time and again, but he has also shown his thunderous methods and willingness to die together with everyone, demonstrating a profound depth of affection and loyalty.

    Of course, everyone respects Chen Yun and follows his words without hesitation.

    A few weaker cultivators gathered and carried away Kang Yuan's corpse. They found a place nearby where flames were not spewing and used their power to bludgeon a pit. They then buried his body in it.

    This is a basin, and although it is still over 50 to 60 degrees Celsius hot, it is relatively cool compared to other places.

    At this time, Kang Yuan's body has just been buried.

    Wu Kejiu couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Chen, what just happened?"

    Qin Ming added, "Yes, we watched from above for a long time, but we never saw how you suddenly defeated that scoundrel Kang Yuan. Can you tell us about it?"

    Long Nv Sanjiu, Ding Xu, and Zhang Ling, among others, all turned to look.

    Chen Yun, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke lightly, "In fact, it didn't take me much effort to defeat him. I just used the Golden Light Curse and Lightning Law."

    Wu Kejiu was somewhat bewildered and said, "We understand the Golden Light Curse. We saw you radiate endless clear light all over your body at the time, but the power of the ice ring treasure was astonishing, almost filling the entire heavens and earth with ice and snow. When exactly did you strike Kang Yuan with your thunder law?"

    Long Nv Sanjiu also couldn't understand and said, "Yes, we didn't see the thunderlight either. When did you perform it?"

    The rest of the group were puzzled.

    Chen Yun explained carefully, "At that time, I infused my true qi into the earth, blocking Kang Yuan's escape through the Earth's escape. After that, he drove his treasure and released a terrifyingly powerful snow and ice attack that was unparalleled. To be honest, with my current strength, it was not enough to withstand such terrifying power of the treasure. The reason why I could prevent the power of the treasure from exploding and defeat Kang Yuan was because I first used the defensive power of the Golden Light Curse that you saw earlier. Of course, because of the terrifying power of the treasure bursting out, even if I used Golden Light Curse, it would not be able to resist for too long. At most only for a moment or two. Therefore, when the snow and ice swept in front of me at that time, I used thunder law to penetrate through them and hit Kang Yuan. He was then using his ability to drive his treasure at that time with no preparation whatsoever. That's why I could use my palm thunder strike's power to penetrate into his viscera and instantly disperse his qi from my palm thunder strike's powerful shock wave and almost completely extinguish all signs of life."

    That is indeed the entire process of what happened.

    However, the crowd listened with some bafflement.

    Wu Kejiu was a bit stunned and said, "But we didn't see the thunder power explode the ice layer."

    Chen Yun corrected Wu Kejiu's statement, "It wasn't about exploding the ice layer, but the thunder power piercing through the ice layer and reaching Kang Yuan's body."

    The crowd still looked confused, not understanding how electricity could pierce through ice.

    Normally, most of the lightning laws would be a direct strike, resulting in a huge noise.

    Under the influence of habitual thinking, it made them unable to understand the meaning of what Chen Yun was saying.

    Chen Yun, noticing the doubts in the hearts of the crowd, explained in more common language, "The power of thunder is not only used to strike. It also has conductivity..."

    "Teacher, what does 'conductivity' mean?" Qin Ming asked with an eager expression of curiosity.

    According to the normal development of Earth's history, the discovery of electrical conductivity was made by Englishman Gregory in the year 1720.

    This realm is a cultivation world, and some cultivators with high power levels and specialize in the Law of Thunder may have discovered electrical conductivity. However, Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Long Nv Sanjiu are all non-specialists in the Law of Thunder who don't know about electrical conductivity, which is quite normal.

    Chen Yun gave them a detailed explanation of what electrical conductivity is.

    After listening to Chen Yun's explanation, everyone finally understood how he managed to win.

    It turned out that Kang Yuan had previously used the ice ring treasure to gather endless snow and ice, providing Chen Yun with an opportunity for a silent lightning attack. Chen Yun first used the powerful defensive power of Golden Light Curse to slightly block the treasure's ability, then he unleashed his palm thunder strike, utilizing electrical conductivity, penetrating through layer upon layer of snow and ice to invade Kang Yuan's body. This caused his qi to be instantly scattered.

    Wu Kejiu said with interest, "Mr. Chen, do you mean that ice and snow have electrical conductivity?"

    "Not necessarily." Chen Yun shook his head, "Pure ice and pure water, and even pure snow, do not have electrical conductivity. That is to say, if someone uses thunder law on you, you can resist it by using your magic to gather pure water or pure snow without any impurities."

    Gao Chen was confused, "If ice and snow don't have electrical conductivity, how did you manage to penetrate the thunder power through them?"

    Chen Yun laughed, "What I said earlier was that pure ice and snow do not have electrical conductivity. However, if they are mixed with impurities, they do have electrical conductivity. You also know that the land here has been burning with flames. But why can the land withstand such high temperatures? It's because the soil contains metal. When Kang Yuan activated his ice ring treasure and released a sky of snow and ice, he swept up countless pieces of soil. This made the snow and ice no longer pure; they contained many tiny metals that could be used as a medium for current transmission."

    These are simple physical knowledge. In Chen Yun's world in the past, almost everyone who had gone to school would understand them.

    Although this is a world of cultivating spirits, the property of electricity having conductivity will not disappear simply because it's a different realm.

    Even though it was such simple knowledge, the crowd still found it enlightening. After all, this was an area they were not familiar with.
