Chapter 28

Are My Teammates Stupid? [是不是猪队友? Shì Bù Shì Zhū Duì Yǒu?] is the twenty-eighth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
While relaxing in a flower petal bath, Yan Wen notices something outside of the window to her bathroom and remarks it as a rare sight to see. At the same time, while tinkering with a voodoo doll in his office, Wang Shengli also notices something outside of his window and takes a look, realizing in shock that someone has invoked a natural cataclysm. Dark thunderclouds are forming in the sky, with the center of the storm giving way to a cluster of lightning bolts emitting bright light.

Meanwhile, below the eye of the storm, Huang Xiaoyan's blood takes the shape of a giant command tag as light around her flies into the storm's eye. While Ye Yan exclaims in shock about the spectacle that the spell is creating, Wuren explains that Huang Xiaoyan is preparing to use the Five Thunder Heaven Execution to strike Gu Xiaohua with lightning, stating that not even the enhanced durability provided by the Gigantification Spell could save her from being reduced to ashes by the divine smite.

As Gu Xiaohua struggles to break free from the Million Seal Giant Binding Formation, Wuren notes that Huang Xiaoyan does not have it easy either since performing the spell is clearly beyond her limits. Due to the imminent convergence of the electric currents, if she were to be even slightly distracted while concentrating on the spell, the backlash of magic power could cause her body to explode and lead to her death.

Just then, Gu Xiaohua breaks the chain of talismans on her right arm and subsequently her left. As she tries to snap the chain on her right leg, Ye Yan begins to panic as the lightning still isn't coming down while the Untitled Sage's restraints are almost all broken. He then notices that Huang Xiaoyan is bleeding from her mouth. Refusing to idle, Ye Yan takes out a roll of tape and sticks his Soul Gang back together before striking it with his Soul Mallet, managing to paralyze Gu Xiaohua.

Huang Xiaoyan reprimands for him interfering while Ye Yan tells her that he wanted to buy a bit more time. However, as a result of breaking her concentration and halting the casting of the spell, Huang Xiaoyan receives the backlash of her magic power and spits out blood, with Ye Yan shouting out her name in shock.
