Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 117 Heavenly Thunder Summoning, a 5,000-mile raid, a lightning strike on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Three quarters of a hour.

Thirty meters underground in the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence.

Sikong Zhen followed his grandfather through the dark passageway, where there were streaks of lightning on the stone walls.

At the end, a massive bronze gate engraved with dragon patterns slowly opened after sensing Sikong Mingde's soul power.

"All these years of preparation have finally come in handy."

Sikong Mingde said in a low voice.

Behind the door is a circular hall with a diameter of 100 meters, and the dome is inlaid with 365 lightning-attribute crystals, forming a complete mechanism array.

A sand table is suspended in the center of the ground.

It accurately replicates every street and alley of Tiandou City, and even the secret passages are clearly visible.

Sikong Zhen's gaze swept across the secret room, where he saw several treasures exuding an ancient aura on display.

Each piece was enveloped in a special lightning glow, with the surging energy within faintly visible.

These treasures were all obtained by Sikong Mingde from the ruins back then, and the Thunder Prison Pillar is the most precious among them!
"This is."

Sikong Zhen's gaze was drawn to a palm-sized purple crystal.

The inside of the crystal seemed to contain a thundercloud, with flashes of fine lightning appearing from time to time.

"Heavenly Thunder Summoning".

Sikong Mingde walked to the crystal, reached through the barrier and took it out. "This is a treasure that was discovered along with the Thunder Prison Pillar. It can draw upon the power of heavenly lightning within a hundred miles."

Sikong Zhen took the crystal and immediately felt the Thunder God's inheritance mark within his body tremble slightly, creating a wonderful resonance with the crystal.

This wasn't his first time in this secret room.

but,
Before this, Sikong Zhen had never felt any resonance with any treasure.

"It seems to suit you well."

Sikong Mingde nodded in satisfaction and pointed to the other side, "There are a few more over there, all of which were brought out from that ruin back then."

Following the direction, Sikong Zhen looked and saw:
A purple jade pendant carved with intricate patterns, its surface flowing with liquid-like lightning.

A palm-sized bronze mirror, its surface occasionally flashing with patterns like electric snakes.

The three completely transparent purple crystal beads seemed to contain miniature thunderstorms, but their power was not very strong.

There was also a metal disc shaped like a compass, with the pointer spinning on its own and pointing directly to Sikong Zhen's location.

“Grandpa, these are useless to me,” Sikong Zhen replied.

When Sikong Zhen was still young, he carried that purple crystal bead and jade pendant.

The power unleashed by each purple crystal bead could threaten a Soul Saint, while the purple jade pendant could defend against attacks from top-tier Soul Emperors.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Sikong Mingde's eyes.

"Back then, I narrowly escaped death at that ruin, and besides the Thunder Prison Pillar, I brought out these treasures."

"Grandpa, you can arrange it as you see fit. With my current strength, I don't need these things."

"Ah."

Sikong Mingde nodded slightly and put the purple jade pendant, purple crystal and other treasures back into the barrier: "Very well, these treasures are indeed no longer worthy of your current strength."

Subsequently.

Sikong Mingde turned and walked towards the sand table in the center of the secret room, tapping it lightly with his finger.

The scene on the sand table immediately changed, and red dots appeared in several locations within Tiandou City.

"Grandpa, what's this?"

Sikong Zhen really didn't know what the red dot was.

Sikong Mingde pointed to several red dots on the sand table and said with a hint of pride, "This is the 'Nine Heavens Thunder-Attracting Platform,' which Master Lou Gao and his disciples secretly built over many years."

Without a doubt, the construction of the Nine Heavens Thunder-Attracting Platform by Lou Gao and his men was on the orders of Sikong Mingde.

Upon closer inspection, Sikong Zhen discovered that these red dots formed a giant thunder rune, enveloping the entire Tiandou City.

"Each mine detonator has a special mechanism hidden inside."

Sikong Mingde continued to explain, "Once activated, it can draw upon the lightning elements in the world to amplify our combat power."

Hear the words.

Sikong Zhen instantly thought of his past life, when he built a similar building in Chang'an on the King's Continent—Baoxiang Tianshu!
It seems that Grandpa really was prepared for a rainy day and was on guard against the Snow Night Emperor.

This put his mind at ease.

If Grandpa still has a soft spot for Xueye, then Sikong Zhen will really be in a difficult situation.
Now look what's happened! Judging from this situation, Grandpa isn't going to be soft-hearted; he's long planned to bring down that tyrant, Xueye! ...

The next morning.

On the training ground of the plastic city.

Three thousand Stormtroopers stood in neat rows, their metallic gleaming coldly in the rising sun.

Each mechanical figure has a lightning-attribute soul guide core embedded in its chest and is equipped with a specially made thunder cannon; its claws can cut through iron like mud.

The city now has more than 4,000 government personnel, but only a little over 1,000 remain for defense.

Three thousand Storm Army soldiers set off with Sikong Mingde and Sikong Zhen towards Tiandou City.

but.

Before entering Tiandou City, they had to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School first!

Sikong Mingde, clad in battle armor, stood on the command platform, his voice like thunder, echoing in the ears of every Storm Army warrior.

"Today, the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion has rebelled!"

"If Xueye doesn't want me to live, and he doesn't want the people of Sucheng to live, what should we do?"

As soon as these words came out.

The Stormtroopers inside the mechanical beings roared angrily.

"Let him die!!"

"Kill Xueye, and the Marquis will become emperor!"

Sikong Zhen stood beside his grandfather, his black hair fluttering in the morning breeze.

"Grandpa, is Chen Xin at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? It would be a shame if he wasn't there."

Lightning flashed in Sikong Zhen's eyes.

Sikong Mingde narrowed his eyes: "Regardless of whether Chen Xin is here or not, as long as we destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we will have one less threat."

Sikong Zhen nodded and said no more.

Chen Xin, a level 96 peak Douluo, is someone he is confident he can handle.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

"First destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then enter Heavenly Dou City!" With a command from Sikong Mingde, the three thousand Storm Army soldiers were mobilized simultaneously.

Their metal joints made a synchronized "click-clack" sound as they sped off, transforming into a metallic torrent that raced northwards.

Sikong Mingde and Sikong Zhen flew through the air, leading the storm army from the left and right.

along the way,

The people who saw him did not suspect that Marquis Weiyuan was going to rebel; they thought he was going to Tiandou City to pay homage and receive a reward.

It's just that bringing along the army is a little bit more than a billion.
……

The night is dark and windy.

Ten miles outside Qibao City.

Three thousand Storm Army personnel, their metal surfaces coated with a special paint, remained completely unreflective under the moonlight in the darkness.

Sikong Zhen raised his hand to signal the entire army to remain silent.

His eyes, like purple lightning, pierced through the night, gazing at the distant, dimly lit Qibao City.

"Grandpa, we haven't received any news from Xueye yet," Sikong Zhen said in a low voice. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's night watch disciples have just changed shifts, and they are at their most relaxed."

Sikong Mingde nodded slightly, a barely perceptible hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Follow the plan."

"kill!"

With a command from Sikong Zhen, the three thousand Storm Army soldiers suddenly accelerated.

They advanced at full speed, resembling three thousand enormous killing weapons in the darkness, hurtling towards Qibao City like meteors!

"Enemy attack——!"

The guards on the walls of Qibao City had just sounded the alarm when they were pierced by a beam of lightning.

Three thousand Storm Army soldiers surged into the outer city like a tidal wave, unleashing a barrage of lightning cannons that reduced the outer gate buildings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to ruins.
