People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 214 Three Thousand Thunder Phantoms

"Who exactly are you? Did you kill Hong Chen?"

Among the four elders of Fenglei Beige, Yang Lei, true to his name, is the most irritable and has a rather superficial way of thinking.

But that doesn't mean he's really stupid; he's just a little slow to react.

Feeling the pressure from Chen Xiao and hearing his words, Yang Lei finally realized what was happening.

Chen Xiao did not answer the first question, but he did not shy away from the second question.

"I suppose I'm the one who killed him. The Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion certainly wouldn't value a disciple who hasn't even truly entered the inner pavilion so much. You must have come for the 'Three Thousand Thunder Movements,' but unfortunately, you can't take it back with you. Not only that, I also need to get an explanation from your pavilion master."

Ignoring Yang Lei, who was becoming increasingly confused, Chen Xiao directly summoned the Heavenly Fire Venerable.

"Let their leader come and take them away in person. If they disobey, just kill them."

After giving these instructions, Chen Xiao went to the side and quickly organized the spoils in Hong Chen's storage ring.

Setting aside the miscellaneous items, Chen Xiao took a closer look at the three scrolls.

Earth-rank low-level combat skill, "Wind and Thunder Hammer Technique".

The secret technique, "Thor Descends".

And the familiar "Three Thousand Thunderclaps".

These three techniques are all closely guarded secrets of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

However, the former two are far less important than "Three Thousand Thunders".

After storing the Three Thousand Thunderbolts into his storage ring, Chen Xiao unfolded the scrolls of the secret techniques Thunder God's Descent and Wind and Thunder Hammer Technique to read them. Although these things were not suitable for him, all techniques in the world have commonalities. By taking the essence and discarding the dross, he could gradually form his own style in the future.

the other side.

Yang Lei noticed Chen Xiao's actions in the distance, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

"Who the hell are you!"

Venerable Tianhuo smiled, his smile revealing an arrogance that emanated from his very bones. He said, "I am Yao Tianhuo, and others sometimes call me Venerable Tianhuo. As for my sect leader, you are not qualified to know."

"This matter is actually very simple. Last night, my master had an epiphany. When Hong Chen passed by this place, I kindly reminded him, but he ignored me. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he also tried to disturb him. Do you think he deserves to die?"

"The Venerable One?!"

Upon hearing this address, Yang Lei's heart began to pound.

He understood perfectly what this suffix in his title symbolized.

Unlike the self-designation 'This Venerable One', the title 'Venerable One' is a suffix that only Dou Zun powerhouses dare to use!

Yang Lei's heart sank, realizing that this matter was going to be difficult.

Cutting off someone's chance is tantamount to killing their parents, not to mention that such enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought.

If he had his chances cut off like that, it would be an act of kindness not to exterminate his entire clan.

Good riddance! He truly deserved to die!

With a curse in his heart, Yang Lei didn't even need Venerable Tianhuo to urge him. He took out a jade slip, crushed it, and notified Fenglei North Pavilion.

Since it involves a Dou Zun level expert, this is beyond his control. He only hopes that the Pavilion Master's arrival can turn a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into nothing.

Otherwise, he might really be implicated and killed by Hong Chen.

"I've already informed the Pavilion Master, is that alright?"

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Looking at the soul form of Venerable Heavenly Fire, Yang Lei dared not relax in the slightest.

Venerable Tianhuo smiled slightly, glancing at the storage ring on Yang Lei's finger.

"Hand over your storage ring as well. No matter what your sect leader's attitude is, you attacked my sect leader, and this will not be so easily forgiven."

"impossible!"

Yang Lei's forehead veins bulged, and without thinking, he angrily refused.

The reason why the Wind and Thunder Pavilion values ​​the "Three Thousand Thunder Movements" so much is because it is a prerequisite for cultivating the "Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body," which is the most precious foundation of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Within his storage ring lay a fragment of the "Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body" manual!

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lei realized that he was now acting against his will, and his tone softened as he explained, "I didn't mean to kill you when I attacked earlier. I can apologize, but I will never hand over the storage ring. Even if our North Pavilion Master agrees, Venerable Lei will not agree!"

Yang Lei's meaning was clear: Fenglei Pavilion also has Dou Zun level experts.

This was his last bit of confidence.

However, Venerable Heavenly Fire paid no attention to this subtle threat.

He's a cunning old fox. The more Yang Lei resists, the more it proves there's something good in the storage ring, and the more determined Venerable Tianhuo becomes to get his hands on it, even if such an action makes the conflict between the two sides irreconcilable.

In the eyes of Venerable Tianhuo, since Yang Lei had already made his move, he was bound to die. To spare his life and take his storage ring was already a form of mercy.

"It's not up to you."

Venerable Heavenly Fire smiled disdainfully and gracefully stepped forward.

Feeling the oppressive aura, Yang Lei gritted his teeth, ultimately daring not to gamble with his life. He took off his storage ring and tossed it to Venerable Tianhuo, then closed his eyes, as if to say, "This is truly the bottom line. Don't even think about making me do anything again."

Heavenly Fire Venerable penetrated with his consciousness and discovered that Yang Lei had not erased the soul imprint. He didn't care at the moment and simply left a comment.

"You're asking for trouble."

Ignoring Yang Lei, Venerable Tianhuo brought the storage ring to Chen Xiao.

"Sect Master, this is that old fellow's storage ring. I took it upon myself to retrieve it as an apology for his attack on you."

Chen Xiao looked up and couldn't help but chuckle.

It has to be admitted that having a cunning old fox by your side makes many people's lives much smoother.

Hong Chen's death was actually a minor matter for him and Fenglei Beige. Once things were discussed openly and an explanation was given, it was not a big deal.

Because it involved "Three Thousand Thunderclaps", Yang Lei tracked down the suspect and took the initiative to make a move, which escalated the small matter.

Now that Yang Lei has taken the ring, it touches on the bottom line of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, the "Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body," and this matter is likely to escalate further.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Chen Xiao didn't say much. Since Venerable Tianhuo had already gone this far, he didn't mind going along with it.

Upon receiving the storage ring, Chen Xiao channeled a wisp of his consciousness into it and immediately sensed the soul imprint within.

Yang Lei, watching from a distance, smirked. He didn't dare openly confront the two, but he was happy to see Chen Xiao and Venerable Tianhuo suffer a setback.

It's not so easy for consciousness to infiltrate a ring that already has an owner, unless your soul power far surpasses that of the ring's owner.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Lei dared to hand over the storage ring.

He did manage to be a little clever; he only agreed to hand over the storage ring, but he didn't agree to erase the soul imprint!

With this little bit of time, we only need to wait for the Pavilion Master to arrive, and the problem can be solved.

The idea is good, but unfortunately, Yang Lei knows too little about Chen Xiao.

He was pretending to be dead with his eyes closed when suddenly, a sharp pain came from the depths of his soul, as if the top of his head was about to crack open, instantly causing Yang Lei to fall to the ground, clutching his head and howling in pain.

After calming down a bit, Yang Lei gritted his teeth and looked at the two people in the distance with red eyes.

At this moment, he finally understood what Venerable Tianhuo meant when he said he was asking for trouble.

His soul imprint in his storage ring was as fragile as paper in front of Chen Xiao, and had been completely erased! "Stop! You... stop now, and there is still room to salvage the situation, otherwise... Lord Lei Zun will... will never sit idly by and watch the Three Thousand Thunder Illusions be exposed!"

Suppressing the piercing pain deep in his soul, Yang Lei warned intermittently. After finishing his words, he felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders, his forehead covered in beads of sweat.

Chen Xiao and Venerable Tianhuo glanced at him before looking away.

Immediately, he took out all the items from his storage ring as if no one else was around, including a silver scroll!
This silver scroll is larger than the "Three Thousand Thunders" scroll, and its entire body is a dazzling silver color. However, upon closer inspection, one can find that it is covered with dense, tiny red lines, like blood vessels, spreading across every part of the scroll.

Without hesitation, Chen Xiao spread it out directly.

"Oh!"

As soon as the scroll was opened, its silver light suddenly intensified, followed by a thunderous roar and a bolt of lightning as thick as a thigh shot out, fiercely striking Chen Xiao's chest.

However, Chen Xiao seemed to have anticipated this, and as soon as the lightning struck, he pointed out with his finger, causing it to shatter instantly and dissipate into specks of lightning.

"A Dou Zun level expert!!!"

Seeing this, Yang Lei was horrified, his eyes wide open.

At this moment, he was finally completely certain that Chen Xiao was also a genuine Dou Zun powerhouse!
The fact that Chen Xiao was able to easily neutralize the hidden lightning in the scroll speaks volumes, even for a high-level Dou Zong.

Faced with the facts, Yang Lei struggled to process them for a long time.

After all, Chen Xiao looks to be only in his early twenties. How could someone so young possess the strength of a Dou Zun?

I can't figure it out, I can't understand it!

But it's terrifying!
Chen Xiao had no time to pay attention to Yang Lei; his attention was already drawn to the scroll.

The Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body was renowned, and Chen Xiao had previously considered using it in advance, but now it saved him the trouble.

As your gaze falls upon the scroll, the first thing that catches your eye is an introduction that resembles a convergence of lightning.

"The Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies, the treasure of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

"It is said that this is a fighting technique passed down from ancient times, ranking as a high-level Earth-rank technique. Once mastered, one can condense a Thunder Illusion Body. The strength of the Thunder Illusion Body is similar to that of the original body. As long as the original body does not die, the Illusion Body will not perish. This miraculous effect is described by outsiders in four words: comparable to the Heaven-rank technique!"

"The Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body is indeed terrifying, but its cultivation is extremely difficult. One of the conditions is that one must first cultivate the Three Thousand Thunder Movement to its highest level. Over the years, looking at the entire Wind and Thunder Pavilion, very few people have been able to successfully cultivate it. I have studied it for decades and have only achieved some success. Even so, I can still rank among the top ten in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

Clearly, this was a note left by Yang Lei himself.

Chen Xiao looked up and glanced at Yang Lei, only to see the old man turn his head away, his face flushed.

It's normal to leave annotations for martial arts techniques and combat skills; many people do this as a form of self-entertainment. After they perish, these annotations will be passed down, leaving behind an image of profound mystery for future generations.

But since it was leaked while he was still alive, there was a sense of shame, like his little diary being publicly executed.

Especially since the person reading your diary is even more powerful than you!
"Sect Master, are these three thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies real or fake?"

Upon seeing Yang Lei's description, which was comparable to the Heavenly Rank, Venerable Heavenly Fire felt a sense of doubt.

His Five-Wheel Fire Technique is also comparable to the Heavenly Rank.

However, to truly reach that level, one needs the support of several different kinds of strange fire, and the conditions are extremely demanding.

In contrast, while the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body requires mastering the Three Thousand Thunder Movements before one can cultivate it, it seems much simpler than the Five Wheels Fire Technique.

“It’s true, it couldn’t be more true. I’ve cultivated the Three Thousand Thunder Movement before, and I’m somewhat interested in the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body. I’ll leave this old guy to you; I’m going to practice it.”

Chen Xiao nodded in affirmation.

He knew he only had a fragment of the scroll, but that didn't matter.

Now that the follow-up to the pre-funded cultivation technique has been completed, it would be a waste to leave the opportunity unused. The Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body can now be used to begin cultivation.

Most importantly, given Hong Chen and Yang Lei's situation, a conflict between him and Fenglei Pavilion was inevitable.

Since that's the case, Chen Xiao didn't bother to hide it anymore. He decided to cultivate openly and honestly, resolving the matter once and for all, so that it would be easier to use in the future.

Venerable Tianhuo nodded slightly and floated to the side to wait.

Yang Lei turned around in surprise and doubt, having heard what Chen Xiao had just said.

"You've cultivated the Three Thousand Thunder Movements? The Three Thousand Thunder Movements of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion have only been leaked twice in the past twenty years. Once was ten years ago when someone infiltrated and stole the scroll, and the other time was a few years ago when a traitor took it away. You are the ones who stole the Three Thousand Thunder Movements back then!"

"You have quite the imagination. Do you think it's possible that I might have killed the traitor from your Wind and Thunder Pavilion?" Chen Xiao chuckled.

Yang Lei fell silent; this was indeed a possibility.

However, whether this is true remains to be verified.

"Don't waste your time. Even if you've cultivated the Three Thousand Thunder Movements, you can't possibly master the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, because the scroll I possess is merely an incomplete one!"

Yang Lei was absolutely confident in this, and no one was an exception.

Chen Xiao smiled, said nothing more, and focused his consciousness into his mind.

[Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body: High-level Earth Rank, available for advance payment.]

【Do you want to advance payment? 】

"Advance payment!"

Without hesitation, Chen Xiao gave a positive answer in his heart.

Now that there's a conflict with the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, obtaining the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies isn't difficult; we're just enjoying them ahead of time. The subsequent completion period will be very, very short.

After storing the tattered scroll in his storage ring, Chen Xiao flipped his hand, and a brand new silver scroll fell into his hand.

It looks exactly the same as the scroll from before, but the cultivation method inside is already complete!

Moreover, a self-made cultivation method is much more reassuring to practice than one obtained from someone else.

With a slight smile, Chen Xiao closed his eyes, and his soul power directly invaded the silver scroll that was shimmering with lightning.

As the power of his soul seeped in, what appeared in Chen Xiao's mind was a world of lightning. Countless bolts of lightning crashed down from the void sky like waterfalls, accompanied by deafening roars, as the might of heaven rolled on.

As soon as Chen Xiao's soul power appeared in this world of lightning, the dense lightning seemed to sense it, and with a 'sizzle', it tore through the sky, and the light that suddenly burst out almost covered the entire horizon.

Facing the overwhelming and violent lightning, Chen Xiao remained calm and showed no sign of tension.

Because he could clearly sense that these were not real lightning, but rather the manifestations of some soul power left behind in the scroll.

"Disperse!"

Chen Xiao raised his finger and lightly tapped the void. A powerful surge of soul energy, like ripples in water, continuously flowed out from his fingertip.

In an instant, wherever the soul power passed, the countless bolts of lightning that had been rushing towards them crumbled and dissipated into countless silver specks of light.

With a single finger, Chen Xiao shattered the remaining soul power within the scroll, and then his gaze slowly swept across the space.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a blinding silver. In the very center of the field of vision was a very conspicuous pool of lightning, with tiny bolts of lightning flashing like silver snakes.

The entire space contained nothing but this Thunder Pool.

With his gaze fixed on the Thunder Pool, Chen Xiao pondered for a moment before extending another finger and gently touching it.

A surge of immense soul power erupted, instantly sweeping across the entire Thunder Pool. In that instant, the silver snakes swirling on the surface of the Thunder Pool rapidly dissipated, and as these tiny lightning bolts dissipated, the Thunder Pool gradually became as clear as a mirror.

Chen Xiao stared intently, and after a while, ripples quietly appeared on the lake surface. The ripples grew stronger and stronger, as if something was about to break through the water.

Soon, with a 'hiss' sound, the answer was revealed.

Then, characters that looked like they were formed from lightning slowly emerged!

It was none other than the cultivation method of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body!
