Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 204 Now that the father and son are both here, let's get going!

A calm, deep voice, carrying an air of certainty and unquestionability, resounded throughout the silent hall.

Everyone felt a sudden jolt, as if an electric current had passed through their bodies, and their blood was boiling.

"This is what a man should do!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his breathing became rapid, and he was filled with excitement. This was the feeling he was experiencing.

From childhood to adulthood, what he admired most about Brother Bai was his spirit. He was usually calm and collected, but when something really happened and he showed his sharpness, his calm yet domineering words and actions were truly captivating.

"Hehe. That's the confidence of a strong person. Keep it up, Xiao Yanzi!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's face flush red, looking like a little fanboy, Yao Lao couldn't help but smile and chuckle softly:

"I believe that one day you will be like that too, and you won't need to envy others!"

On the other side, Ya Fei's breath hitched, her watery peach blossom eyes fixed on those deep black eyes, her delicate body slightly weak.

At this moment, Xiao Bai seemed infinitely tall in her eyes, and for some reason, she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy towards the little girl beside him.

Throughout her more than twenty years of life, she had only been surrounded by people seeking personal gain, and had never experienced the feeling of being cared for like this before.

No one ever told her, "If you can't beat them, call me!", even if they knew the other party was a Dou Ling or Dou Huang!

Just like that guy lying on the ground over there, who always harbored some disgusting thoughts about her, she could only endure the humiliation and deal with him instead of just killing him.

It was simply because that guy's grandfather was a member of the family's elders, a Dou Ling expert, and held real power in the family, and she was powerless to do anything about it!

As if possessed, Ya Fei felt a surge of impulse and couldn't help but step forward. She reached out her delicate hands to straighten Xiao Bai's clothes and softly said:

"Do whatever you want, but hurry up and leave as soon as you're done. A Douhuang Grand Elder from the family who disappeared many years ago has returned. If things get out of hand, even if you're strong, you can't fight against so many people!"

Judging from Xiao Bai's performance just now, she knew he was very strong, but she couldn't tell his exact level of power.

But judging from his age, no matter how strong he is, it's impossible for him to actually be able to fight against a Dou Huang powerhouse as he claims!

Xiao Bai was taken aback, not expecting the woman in front of him to make this move. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly:

"Aren't you afraid that doing this will implicate me?"

If he really kills the person and leaves, and this woman does such a thing in front of everyone, she won't have a good time afterward.

"Afraid!"

Ya Fei gently nodded her head, then her pretty face suddenly lit up with a bright smile for Xiao Bai, and she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, saying:

"I've spent my entire life calculating and pursuing self-interest; I rarely act impulsively! So..."

"You'd better hurry! Otherwise, I might regret it and sell you out!"

"Haha. If you're going to sell me, then..."

Xiao Bai patted Ya Fei's delicate shoulder and smiled:

"Remember to sell it for a good price, otherwise if the price is too low, I'll hold you responsible!"

After saying that, Xiao Bai walked towards the figure lying in the center of the hall.

Behind her, Ya Fei paused, gazing at the black-robed figure. Her red lips curved into a smile, and her eyes, as clear as spring water, rippled with an intoxicating laughter.

"Cough cough. You want to kill me?"

On the ground, a pale-faced young man, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, watched the black-robed youth approach with a sinister gaze. His face showed little fear, and he sneered:

"Heh. Do you know where this is? This is the Holy City of Gama, the headquarters of the Mittel family. Kill me, and you will die too!"

If Xiao Bai and Ya Fei didn't know each other, he would have been genuinely afraid of that little girl's punch. But since he knew Ya Fei, it meant that he was from the Jia Ma Empire.

He feared no one from the Gama Empire. With the power of the Mittel Auction House in the Gama Empire, this little matter was not worth mentioning as long as it did not offend the royal family or the Yunlan Sect.

"Finished?" Xiao Bai glanced at him coldly and said in a calm voice, "These are your last words?"

"Last words? You dare kill me? Haha!" The pale-faced youth, seeing Xiao Bai approach, made no move, his lips curling into a wide grin, his eyes filled with utter disdain, and laughed loudly while lying on the ground.

"Ya Fei, is this the guy you've set your sights on? Such a cowardly wimp, can he satisfy you? Do you want him?"

"Snap!"

"ah"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and immediately the shouting youth turned pale, then ashen.

His body convulsed violently a few times, his words were interrupted, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Your breath stinks!"

Xiao Bai slowly withdrew his foot, and with a casual wave of his hand, a chair flew through the air and landed behind him.

He flicked his robes, sat down, glanced at the screaming youth, and sneered:

"I'm waiting for your grandfather to come so we can all go together. A family should be together all the time. Otherwise, it's too much trouble to make another trip for a mere fighting spirit ant!"

"You, you."

Upon hearing this, the pale-faced youth, disregarding the pain in his leg, raised his finger in disbelief, pointing at the black-robed youth with a look of astonishment.

"Don't you want your hand anymore?" Looking at the finger pointing at him, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes. He twitched his finger slightly, a flash of light appeared, and a burst of blood-red liquid gushed out.

"Oh no! My hand is gone!"

After another agonizing wail that echoed through the hall, the young man looked at his bare wrist, blood gushing out, and out of the corner of his eye caught sight of the familiar severed hand lying on the ground beside him, his eyes filled with terror.

"Don't be afraid, there's still one left, isn't there?" Xiao Bai sat in the chair, his tone gentle, comforting him softly.

Upon hearing this voice, the people in the hall felt no warmth whatsoever; instead, they trembled and turned pale.

He swallowed carefully, afraid of making a sound and attracting the attention of the young man in black robes on the chair.

"Good boy."

Not far away, Xiao Yan swallowed hard, his eyes widening in surprise. He murmured in astonishment, "..."

"Is this still our Brother Bai?"

In the past, when he saw Xiao Bai make a move, it was always clean and swift, killing with a single blow. It was nothing like what he was doing now, which was more like the demonic style of his previous life.

"Tsk tsk. Little Yanzi, it seems your Brother Bai really went easy on you before!"

Seeing this scene, Yao Lao recalled Xiao Yan's several reckless provocations and couldn't help but laugh.

"Teacher, please don't joke like that!" Xiao Yan's face was righteous and solemn, his voice firm and resolute: "I have never provoked Brother Bai. I was just asking him for a friendly spar... no... guidance. Yes, guidance!"

Finally, Xiao Yan pretended to be deep in thought and nodded seriously to confirm.

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

Seeing his apprentice's strong will to survive, the old doctor suddenly felt an itch to hit him!

The sound of footsteps rang out, and a fragrant breeze wafted through the air. Xiao Bai turned his head slightly to look at the alluring figure beside him. He saw her lightly biting her red lips, her charming peach blossom eyes looking at him speechlessly.

"So you really want me to leave?" Xiao Bai looked at her quietly for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't have the habit of dumping trouble on others!"

"Alas, Young Master Xiao is so powerful, while Consort Ya's voice carries little weight!"

Ya Fei sighed and said softly:

"Now that Young Master Xiao has made his plans, Consort Ya will naturally not overstep her bounds and do something presumptuous!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

What a huge amount of resentment!

What a perfectly normal woman, she's actually started acting as a hermaphrodite!

Ya Fei shifted her gaze slightly to the young man lying on the ground, his eyes vacant and lifeless, a hint of satisfaction appearing on her pretty face.

"Did he provoke you?" Noticing her expression, Xiao Bai asked calmly.

"Hmm!" Ya Fei nodded slightly, saying indifferently, "His name is Leiler, and he's also a member of the Mittel family. He has quite a powerful backer, but that's none of my business!"

"But this guy is a lecherous lecher, and he has some disgusting thoughts about me. When he sees that I don't give him a friendly look, he often causes trouble for me and says nonsensical things!"

"I've tolerated him for so long, and seeing him end up like this today makes me very happy!"

As she spoke, Ya Fei lowered her head, glanced at Xiao Bai sitting on the chair beside her, blinked, and smiled sweetly:

"Do you think I'm petty?"

Xiao Bai's gaze unconsciously swept over a certain proudly standing spot, then he quickly looked away and shook his head.

That's not small at all!

"Pah!" Ya Fei's pretty face flushed red as she looked at the person whose expression remained completely unchanged and spat inwardly.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Although the guy only glanced at her, as a woman, and a beautiful woman at that, she was extremely sensitive to such things, so how could she not notice his strange behavior just now?

A touch of shyness rose in her heart, and Ya Fei didn't dare to continue speaking. She stood quietly by the chair, her charming eyes occasionally lingering on Xiao Bai, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.

As the two fell silent, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became heavy, like the prelude to a storm.

Sensing this atmosphere, Ya Fei felt quite uncomfortable. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry appeared in her clear eyes.

As time passed, Xiao Bai's half-closed eyes opened slightly at a certain moment, and he looked towards a side door of the auction house hall.

"Who dares to hurt my grandson!"

The person arrives before the voice does!

A hoarse, loud shout, filled with chilling killing intent, suddenly echoed through the silent hall.

Upon hearing this voice, Ya Fei's pretty face changed. Her hands, which were resting on her lower abdomen, suddenly clenched. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze cold, and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

"Bang!"

The side door of the hall was kicked open suddenly, and a group of people filed in. The leader was an elderly man in fine clothes with a slightly sinister face.

"Elder Leo, although you are a family elder, you have no right to interfere in the auction house. What are you trying to do by kicking open the doors of my auction house? Are you rebelling?"

Ya Fei looked at the bright footprints on the side door, her brows darkening, and said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, the old man named Leo's face flashed with displeasure. He couldn't bear to be labeled a rebel. His cloudy eyes flickered slightly, and he sneered:

"Heh. Ya Fei, you have quite the airs of an official. Do you perhaps consider yourself a true elder? You're just an acting supervisory elder. Wait until you drop the 'acting' and hold real power before you come around saying such things to me!"

"However, after today, you probably won't have this grandson."

As the old man was sneering and mocking Ya Fei, his gaze suddenly stopped, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. He abruptly cut off his words, took a few steps, and came to the side of the young man lying on the ground. A mournful howl suddenly rang out.

"My grandson."

With trembling, thin hands, he examined Rael's back. His body trembled as he looked at his once lively and energetic grandson, who now had a blank stare and showed no reaction to his arrival.

Upon seeing this, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from him.

"Who did this?"

His cold, angry voice was uttered slowly and deliberately, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Ya Fei.

Her delicate body trembled slightly. Ya Fei was extremely uncomfortable under the pressure of this aura, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered without saying a word, not wanting to give in to this old man's wishes.

"Tsk tsk. Such an obvious question, do you even need to ask?" Xiao Bai waved his hand, and Ya Fei immediately felt relaxed all over, without any pressure.

"It's you! You little beast, how cruel you are!"

Leo's beard bristled with rage, his eyes filled with malice as he stared intently at Xiao Bai, then turned to Ya Fei beside him, venomously saying:

"And you little bitch, you colluded with outsiders to humiliate my grandson like this at the auction! I'll kill you!"

"Heh. Reiler harassed other people's women at the auction, and this is what he got himself into! He only has himself to blame!"

Ya Fei sneered. Since she had offended him to death, she was too lazy to pretend to be careful like before. She might as well be more decisive.

"Nonsense! My grandson is so innocent, how could he flirt with others!" Leo shouted angrily.

"Haha. Your grandson is naive? Old man, I think you've lost all shame for your precious grandson!" Ya Fei sneered, her face full of disdain.

She wasn't afraid of Leo killing her. Her previous fear stemmed from her position within the family. Now that someone was threatening to kill her, if she didn't react, how could she maintain her standing in the family in the future?

Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze from a certain direction, waved his hand to stop Ya Fei from speaking again, and slowly said:

"Now that both father and son are here, let's set off!"

As he spoke, he slowly extended a palm, which crackled with lightning. With a casual wave of his hand, a huge palm print suddenly appeared and slammed down on Leorele not far away.

"Battle King!!"

Sensing the immense energy fluctuations emanating from the palm print, Leo's anger vanished instantly, his pupils dilated sharply, and his expression turned terrified.

She wanted to pick up her grandson and run away, but she was held in place by an inexplicable aura and could not move an inch.

Upon hearing the old man's exclamation, Ya Fei's beautiful eyes widened, and she immediately covered her alluring red lips, turning her head sharply to look at the calm young man in black robes beside her.

If I remember correctly, he... he's not even twenty yet, right?

To have reached such a level of cultivation before the age of twenty, what an extraordinary talent!

Compared to him, the proud daughter of the Nalan family and the young sect master of the Yunlan Sect are nothing to mention.

The eldest elder in the family only has this level of cultivation, but the eldest elder is already very old. In terms of cultivation time, he is probably three or four times older than this guy!

Based on her previous assumptions, he was at most a Spirit Fighter. This was based on her previous understanding and her bold wishful thinking after hearing his statement that he was not afraid of Spirit Fighters.

I never expected him to be a Battle King! Such a young Battle King!

No wonder he had always been so confident and disdainful of Dou Ling. While amazed, she also felt a hint of reproach and gave him a charmingly coquettish glare.

This guy was hiding his true intentions too well. She was so worried before, afraid that he would suffer a loss, but it turned out that all her efforts were in vain!

"That's more like it!"

Xiao Yan slapped his thigh, stood up excitedly, and laughed:

"That guy Bai finally used a lightning-attribute fighting technique! He's a perfectly good lightning-attribute user, why is he always wasting his time playing with fire?!"

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

Has this disciple been provoked by Xiao Bai? He's been jumping around like this, and his mind is starting to go a little crazy!

The people in the hall watched this scene with astonishment and uncertainty, unsure whether the black-robed youth was an old monster with a youthful appearance or truly so young.

If he is really that young, the entire Gama Empire will probably be in an uproar for a while.

Just as everyone was marveling, an aged voice rang out throughout the auction hall:

"I don't know where my Mittel family has offended you, but please set aside your wrath and sit down for a talk!"

"If there is anything our clan has neglected, I will certainly give you a satisfactory explanation. What do you say?"
