Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 103 Brother Bai, Save Me

Outside the city of Utan.

"Cousin Xun'er, are Brother Bai and the others really coming back?" Xiao Yan asked excitedly, looking at the elegant girl standing in front of him.

He ran into Xiao Xun'er just as she was leaving today, greeted her, and only then did he learn that Xiao Bai and the others would be returning to Wutan City today, so he couldn't help but come along.

He's been eagerly awaiting the return of his teacher and Brother Bai, who have been gone for almost a year, because he's run out of Foundation Establishment Elixir.

The Foundation Establishment Elixir refined by Brother Bai was perfect for his recovery. After using up the last bit of Foundation Establishment Elixir a couple of days ago, his cultivation level had already broken through to the ninth stage of Battle Power.

He's not worried about the family's coming-of-age ceremony at all right now, but his cultivation level is about to break through to the next stage of Dou Zhe. Once he reaches Dou Zhe, he'll need to choose a cultivation technique.

Before leaving, the old doctor said he would give him a special and strange cultivation technique, which was said to be even more powerful than the legendary Heavenly Rank cultivation technique when cultivated to the end.

Although he was somewhat suspicious that the old man was lying to him, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. So, as the time for the contestant was getting closer and closer, how could he not be anxious?

"That's right! Brother Xiao Bai should be back today!" Xun'er said softly, her clear eyes filled with anticipation.

"That's great!" Xiao Yan exclaimed excitedly.

Although he didn't know why his cousin Xun'er was so sure, his teacher had once told him that neither she nor Brother Bai were simple; one had a powerful background, and the other was even more mysterious, something even the old man couldn't see through.

Therefore, he never inquired about the secretive things the two of them usually did, which was something his teacher had warned him about.

To maintain a lasting friendship, it's important to keep a certain distance. This makes everyone feel more relaxed when interacting. Otherwise, constantly digging into every little detail will only annoy people.

But Brother Bai really understands him. He was talking about it just a couple of days ago, and now he's back today.

Just as the two were waiting quietly, a magnificent carriage slowly approached from a distance outside the city.

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, revealing a look of anticipation. Could this be Brother Bai?

However, seeing that her cousin Xun'er glanced at him indifferently and then ignored him, she thought to herself, "It seems this isn't it!"

"stop!"

After the carriage had traveled a short distance from the two of them, a slightly excited voice came from inside the carriage.

"Master Liu, is there anything I can help you with?" A middle-aged man's voice then rang out.

After that, no sound came from the carriage, and then a moment later.

A young man in a long robe stepped out of the carriage. He was quite handsome, but a lewd glint would occasionally flash in his eyes, ruining his good looks.

Liu Xi was very excited, and the source of her excitement was the pretty girl in green standing not far away.

I never imagined that this small city of Wutan would possess such stunning beauty! I feel that being invited to Wutan was definitely the right decision.

The girl was dressed in an elegant outfit, her delicate face unadorned, like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful.

Her long, black hair was casually tied back with a silk scarf, just reaching her slender waist. A blue-gold belt around her waist perfectly outlined her graceful curves.

He secretly thought to himself, what a pleasure it would be to hold such a slender waist in his arms.

His gaze burned as he stared intently at the girl. Liu Xi's hands trembled slightly with excitement. The elegant girl before him was completely different from any of the women he had ever been with before.

Her ethereal beauty, like that of a lotus, made Liu Xi instantly realize that all the women he thought were decent before were just ordinary and mediocre. This made him, who was obsessed with women, want to snatch her away immediately.

When Xiao Yan saw that the man was staring at Xun'er with a lewd look in his eyes after he came out, he frowned and walked directly between the two of them, blocking the young man's lewd gaze.

Regardless of Xun'er's background, her current cultivation level is the same as his, and she has not yet broken through to the Dou Zhe level. As Bai Ge's brother, he cannot sit idly by and watch his cousin Xun'er suffer.

Otherwise, when Xiao Bai returns and finds out he was there but did nothing, how will he have the face to see him?

The young man glanced at Xiao Yan but didn't pay him any attention; he was just a greenhorn who hadn't even become a Dou Zhe!

The young man took out a badge from his storage ring, put it on his chest, stepped down from the carriage, and came to stand in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's gaze sharpened as he noticed an ancient medicine cauldron depicted on the badge the young man had just put on. On the surface of the cauldron, a silver ripple reflected an unusual light under the sunlight.

"A top-tier alchemist!"

Xiao Yan was startled at first, then seemed to remember something, crossed his arms, and looked somewhat disdainful.

First-class is nothing!

His teacher was an eighth-grade alchemist, and Brother Bai even created his own thunder-based alchemy technique in just two or three months, capable of refining second-grade peak Foundation Establishment Elixir.

He's just a lowly first-rank official, look how smug he is, even puffing out his chest on purpose. He's a complete piece of trash!

Before he recovered, Xiao Yan might have thought that a first-grade alchemist was a big shot, but now, he doesn't even put Gu He, a sixth-grade alchemist, in his eyes!

"Kid, protecting a flower takes skill, and you're still lacking!" Liu Xi laughed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Country bumpkins are country bumpkins. They don't even recognize the badge of a first-grade alchemist, yet they look down on it. They're ignorant bumpkins!

He had heard people say that Wutan City didn't even have an alchemist guild, let alone an alchemist apprenticeship. Now that he saw it, it was indeed a remote and impoverished place.

After saying that, he walked towards Xiao Xun'er behind him. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly stood next to Xun'er. If this person did anything improper, even if he couldn't beat him, he would do his best to stop him.

"My name is Liu Xi. May I ask this young lady's name?" Liu Xi asked with a gentlemanly smile, adjusting his robes and showing off his professional badge on his chest in a slightly boastful manner.

He had tried this trick countless times, and it never failed. No matter how aloof a woman was, as long as he revealed his alchemist badge, her eyes would light up and she would become unusually proactive.

"roll!"

Xun'er raised her eyes slightly, glanced at him indifferently, and uttered a sound that made him a little stunned.

Liu Xi's smile gradually faded, and he said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "In all these years, you're the first person who dares to speak to me like that!"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Yan felt a surge of satisfaction upon seeing his expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Liu Xi's face darkened even more. He was a first-grade alchemist, and everyone used to treat him with utmost respect. Now, to be so humiliated in front of a country bumpkin filled him with intense hatred!

"Galeye, seize her! I was hoping to use a gentler approach, but she's so ungrateful!"

Liu Xi waved his hand with a gloomy expression and said to the middle-aged man who had just stepped out of the carriage.

Galley was taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that Master Wu's disciple was a bit lecherous, but he never expected that he would be so lustful as to snatch someone in broad daylight. It was truly outrageous!

He recognized the two as members of the Xiao family, and both were famous figures in the family. One was known for his beauty, and the other was a fallen genius who was rumored to have been able to cultivate again recently.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Jialie family can no longer afford to offend the Xiao family. Ever since the clan leader and several elders died mysteriously at the blacksmith shop in the west of Wutan City, the Jialie family has been living in constant fear and trembling.

After he took over as head of the family, he offered several of the most profitable markets and most of the family's assets to the city lord's mansion in order to secure protection and prevent the family from falling apart.

They finally managed to invite Master Wu, who had some past connections with the Jialie family, to help them, but they never expected that this person would be so useless except for alchemy.

Damn it, how unfair is God? How could someone like this become an alchemist?

With a sigh, Qian smiled and said, "Master Liu, this is a member of the Xiao family. Our Jialie family can't afford to offend the Xiao family now!"

"The Xiao family?" Liu Xi sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "As long as you help me get her, I will do everything in my power to make your Jialie family the number one family in Wutan City!"

After saying this, seeing that Jialieye was looking at him with some doubt, Liu Xi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if necessary, I will ask the teacher to come!"

He didn't respect the major families of Wutan City at all. Their patriarchs were only Great Battle Masters. What was there to be afraid of?

Jialieye's eyes were somewhat uncertain. If it were just Liu Xi, a first-grade alchemist, he simply did not believe that he could solve the Jialie family's predicament.

But his teacher, Master Wu, was different; he was a third-grade alchemist!

A third-grade alchemist is a figure of importance in the entire Gama Empire, let alone in the small city of Wutan. With him as a backer, the revival of the Jialie family is just around the corner.

Remembering how much Master Wu doted on this disciple, treating him almost like his own son, Galeye hesitated for a moment before making up his mind.

Looking around, the place was far from the city gate, and there were few people around. If they really wanted to make a move, now was the perfect opportunity. They could knock the person unconscious, throw them into the carriage, and leave without anyone noticing.

"Master Liu Xi, I hope you will keep your word!" A fierce glint flashed in Jia Lieye's eyes as he spoke solemnly.

He wanted to take a gamble. The current situation of the Galley family was not optimistic, and this was an opportunity. If he succeeded, the Galley family would become even more glorious in his hands.

"Don't worry! As long as you help me get her, you will get what you want!" Liu Xi's face lit up with joy when he saw Jialieye agree. He looked at the stunningly beautiful girl, a fiery glint in his eyes.

After hearing their blatant conspiracy, Xiao Yan's eyes widened in suspicion, and he thought to himself:

"Brother Bai! Why didn't you wipe the Jia Lie family out of the woods back then? Look, they've come back to disgust us again!"

Jia Lieye glanced at Xiao Yan, who was protecting Xiao Xun'er, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. This "genius" of the Xiao family should be eliminated today, otherwise he will become a problem for the rise of the Jia Lie family in the future.

"Cousin Xun'er, it seems we're in trouble today!" Xiao Yan, with his keen senses, clearly sensed the killing intent emanating from Jia Lieye.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jialieye lightly touched the carriage with his toes, his figure rising into the air. One of his palms, carrying azure energy and strong wind pressure, rushed straight at Xiao Yan's face.

Xiao Yan felt the sharp, piercing force of the wind. His pupils contracted slightly, and his breathing became rapid. He wanted to dodge, but felt there was nowhere to hide.

To die!

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with resentment. He had been crippled for three years and finally saw hope of becoming stronger. Was he going to die here today?

No, he was not reconciled!

Xiao Yan mustered all his strength, preparing to throw a punch. Even if it meant death, he would fight back. He didn't want to be killed in such a humiliating and helpless way!

Just as the palm strike was about to hit him, and he was about to throw a punch, a force suddenly came from behind him, pulling him back a distance.

Xiao Yan, having narrowly escaped death, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look. It turned out that Xiao Xun'er had pulled him back at the crucial moment.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yan said gratefully.

"No need!" Xiao Xun'er said calmly, but her gaze turned coldly to the somewhat surprised Jia Lieye.

Just as she was about to ask Qing Shuang to deal with these two annoying things, her expression suddenly changed, and her cold, pretty face thawed like a spring breeze, revealing a faint smile.

This sudden smile dazzled everyone, especially Liu Xi, whose eyes were filled with infatuation as he stared intently at the girl with crescent-shaped eyes.

Jialieye was only stunned for a moment before recovering. He looked at Xiao Yan, snorted coldly, and curled his hands into claws. He then swung them in front of him, and the dense cyan energy battle qi gradually formed several light cyan energy wind blades.

"Cousin Xun'er, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, use them quickly!" Seeing Jia Lieye's actions and looking at Xiao Xun'er's smiling face, Xiao Yan felt like crying and hurriedly said.

The old doctor had told her that Xiao Xun'er's identity was not simple, so Xiao Yan wanted to ask her if she had any trump cards to deal with the current situation, otherwise he would have to die here today.

"No rush!" Xiao Xun'er said slowly, as if she didn't care at all about Xiao Yan's life or death.

As Xiao Yan watched the wind blade take shape, he wanted to curse inwardly. So this wind blade wasn't even aimed at you, and you're not worried at all, huh?

"Why don't you shout 'Brother Bai, save me!'? Maybe it will work!" Xiao Xun'er said mischievously.

Xiao Yan was on the verge of tears. "Young Miss, what time is it? You're still joking!"

Suddenly, he froze, as if he had thought of something. Incredulity appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Xiao Xun'er with a face full of surprise, as if he were confirming something.

Xiao Xun'er simply smiled and nodded without saying a word.

Xiao Yan instantly understood. Without thinking, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Bai! Help!"

With a flick of his finger, Galeye unleashed a wind blade. The wind pressure generated by the blade caused the weeds and branches on the ground to float up. The flying weeds and branches that came into contact with the wind blade were instantly sliced ​​in half.

"Heh. Help! No one can save you today!" With a cold laugh, Jialieye was filled with murderous intent. Today, he would make this once-fallen genius truly fall.

"Oh? Really? I don't believe it!" A calm, magnetic voice came from afar.

A muffled thunderclap sounded, and then crimson lightning streaked across the sky, instantly shattering the wind blades.

"boom!"

A charred crater about a meter in diameter appeared on the ground not far away, and a scorching heat wafted out.

Two streaks of light shot down from the sky and appeared before everyone.

"A Dou Dou Wang powerhouse!" Jia Lieye's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes filled with horror, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Sorry, it seems we're a little late!" The newcomer ignored him, turned to look at the two of them, and said with a warm smile, his usually cold and stern face now softened.
