Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 228 I need to borrow something!

"Boom!"

Thick, dark clouds, a majestic and awe-inspiring sight, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder, enveloped the entire summit of Yunlan Mountain.

The sound, accompanied by rolling thunder, resounded throughout the entire Yunlan Mountain. Even with the great array separating them, thousands of Yunlan Sect disciples in the square still covered their ears tightly, feeling as if they had lost their hearing for a moment.

"The Xiao family. Xiao Bai?"

Seeing this scene, Yunshan's expression turned slightly unpleasant, and a shadow flashed in his eyes.

How come a small Grand Master family in Wutan City is like a hornet's nest, with powerful figures constantly emerging? Is this still the Jia Ma Empire he knows?

Thinking back to when Protector Wu mentioned Xiao Yan's surname as Xiao, and that inexplicable tone, a fleeting look of apprehension crossed his eyes.

"break!!"

A soft shout rang out, and the large array covering the entire square began to shake violently. All the disciples and elders of the Yunlan Sect looked up, their expressions changing instantly, as if they had seen something terrifying.

At the top of the formation, a small indentation appeared. Upon closer inspection, the small dot resembled a foot.

"Snap!"

A sound like crystal shattering suddenly rang out, and cracks rapidly spread from the depression.

"snort"

Countless Yunlan Sect disciples felt the energy reinforcing the formation back at them, and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, their throats tasted metallic, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of their mouths.

"furious!"

Upon seeing this, Yunshan was furious. He hadn't expected the newcomer to be so arrogant, shattering his Yunlan Sect's protective formation with a single step, and on his head no less. How could he tolerate this?

He looked up at the retracted foot, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

"No matter who you are, you have humiliated the Yunlan Sect today, and we will make sure you never leave alive!"

"Ha! Arrogant? No return?" A light laugh suddenly rang out, the tone mocking:

"Yunshan, you're just a show-off who needs help to break through to the Dou Zong realm. That's a bit lacking!"

Yunshan's originally calm expression instantly darkened. This was the second time today that someone had called him a mere show-off at the Dou Zong level!

Above the plaza, as the fragments of the energy shield turned into particles of light and disappeared, a figure standing with his hands behind his back appeared in everyone's sight.

He wore a black robe, his black hair cascading down his shoulders. His expression was now heavy and deep, no longer restrained. The silver vertical lines on his forehead gleamed with a cold, clear light under the reflection of the lightning in the clouds.

"teacher!"

"Mr. Bai!"

Upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, several exclamations rang out in the square.

Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian both breathed a slight sigh of relief. The situation today was truly beyond their control.

Xiao Bai's deep eyes slowly scanned the Yunlan Sect square, finally stopping on the elegant and noble face of the person in the main seat on the high platform.

The moment their eyes met, Yun Yun was slightly taken aback, and the expression on her pretty face suddenly froze.

Her hair color has changed, and her demeanor has also changed a lot, but the familiar outline etched in her mind and the vertical lines on her forehead that she had touched with her own hands would never be mistaken!

"Ah Niu!!"

"Yunzhi, long time no see! I didn't expect you to be in the Yunlan Sect too!"

Xiao Bai blinked, feigning confusion. A hint of a smile flickered in his eyes as he thought about how this silly woman had used a disguise to lie to him about having a friend in the Yunlan Sect.

"You've come to visit your friend from the Yunlan Sect?"

"I'm not wrong, I didn't."

Yun Yun completely lost her usual composure. Her delicate hands twisted gently, and her beautiful face showed a rare hint of panic. Her clear, beautiful eyes were somewhat unfocused.

The two's nonsensical conversation left everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

The Yunlan Sect members were utterly astonished. When had they ever seen their noble, elegant, and serene sect leader display such a slightly girlish expression?

Only Hai Bodong and Xiao Yan rolled their eyes speechlessly. This guy was absolutely wicked!

Judging from how the two addressed each other, it was clear that they had been using a disguise when they first met. However, this Sect Master Yunyun was unaware that her true nature had already been seen through by the other party!

Yunshan and Yunling looked at this scene and suddenly realized why she had always refused to reveal the information about the person with the strange fire. It was because of the person in front of them!

Thinking of this, Yunshan felt a slight pang of regret. What a waste that the surname is Xiao! Otherwise, he could have used Yun'er to win them over!

Upon hearing the way Jia Xingtian and the others addressed him, I immediately realized that this was the sixth-grade alchemist who had recently caused a great stir in the capital, and whose alchemy skills were said to far surpass those of Gu He!

Since we can't win him over and he's already an enemy of the Xiao family, we must get rid of him today. Otherwise, with his talent and alchemy skills, the Yunlan Sect will likely have a hard time sleeping and eating in the future!

"You want to kill me!"

With a slight twitch of his brows, Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze and looked at Yun Shan, having just sensed a sharp killing intent that vanished in a flash.

"Why would the old patriarch need to lift a finger to kill you!"

A beam of white light rose into the sky and hovered not far from Xiao Bai. Yun Leng, with a mocking expression, sneered:

"I don't know who gave you the audacity. A mere peak Dou Wang dares to be so disrespectful, shattering my Yunlan Sect's grand formation with your foot!"

Xiao Bai glanced at Yun Leng indifferently, then his wings fluttered slightly, and he vanished in the blink of an eye, reappearing behind Yun Leng. With a light wave of his arm, he was about to strike Yun Leng's back.

"presumptuous!"

Seeing this, Yun Shan was shocked. He did not expect that Xiao Bai could make Yun Leng, who was also at the peak of the Dou Wang realm, completely powerless against him.

With a swift movement, his hand curled into a claw and shot out like lightning, grabbing at the back of Xiao Bai's neck.

"don't want."

Yun Yun then realized what was happening, her pretty face changed, and she looked at Yun Shan who had made the move, as well as Xiao Bai who seemed not to have reacted yet, and hurriedly shouted in a sweet voice.

Without trembling, his hand struck Yun Leng directly in the back of the chest.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and Yun Leng abruptly turned his head, looking at Xiao Bai behind him in disbelief. Then he saw the claw marks on Xiao Bai's back, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

Ignoring the fierce wind behind him, Xiao Bai gazed at Yun Leng and said calmly:

"That's my source of confidence!"

"Bang!"

Yun Leng only felt a flash of golden-red appear at the corner of his eye, followed by a soft sound, and his old sect master retreated rapidly with a look of shock on his face.

"Queen Medusa!"

This was the last exclamation Yun Ling heard before everything went black. He suddenly realized why the woman beside Xiao Bai that night looked so familiar!

Upon hearing Yunshan's voice, everyone in the square stared in disbelief at the alluring beauty who had suddenly appeared beside Xiao Bai, their expressions filled with shock.

Although the people of the Gama Empire had never seen this woman, they had long heard of her reputation.

"Queen Medusa, what are you doing here?"

Using the force of the collision, Yunshan took a few steps back, looked at the falling cloud ridge, a flash of anger in his eyes, followed by a look of solemnity.

He had already received news of this woman's breakthrough, and upon seeing her today, he confirmed it was true; in fact, she seemed to be even stronger than him!

With a light flick of her slender, jade-like fingers, she gently smoothed out the burst of energy. The collision energy did not touch Xiao Bai at all, and it didn't even stir the hem of his clothes.

Her strangely alluring eyes swept coldly over Yunshan before looking away, ignoring him.

"You really do believe in me!"

Withdrawing her snow-white, jade-like hand, Cai Lin glanced at Xiao Bai with slightly reproachful eyes, as if blaming him for his recklessness. If she had acted any later, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

"If even you don't believe me, there are very few people in this world I can trust!" Xiao Bai chuckled as he looked at the cloud piercing falling from the sky and tilted his head slightly.

He wasn't reckless; even if Cai Lin hadn't made a move, Yun Shan's attack wouldn't have hurt him.

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin felt a surge of joy and gave a soft hum, clearly satisfied with his words.

Then, his narrow eyes glanced slightly down at Yun Yun, whose face was somewhat pale, and he said in a low, enigmatic voice:

I don't think so!

"Ha ha."

Xiao Baiqian chuckled but didn't reply. He looked up at Protector Wu and Elder Yao, who were locked in fierce combat in the air, and his expression gradually became serious.

Seeing this, Cai Lin glared at him fiercely. The occasion was inappropriate, and she couldn't be bothered to argue with him. She would settle things with this bastard properly after everything was over!

She slightly raised her head, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed, and said softly:

"Although the old man seems to have a slight advantage, that's only because the opponent is wary of the strange fire and doesn't want to get hurt; otherwise, the outcome might be very different!"

"What if you were included?"

Ignoring her explanation, Xiao Bai had anticipated this outcome. Although Yao Lao's soul power had recovered somewhat after taking the Sanqi Soul Elixir, his condition hadn't been particularly good before.

"I just observed him, and as you said, his energy fluctuations are around the level of a four-star Dou Zong. His methods are quite strange. With me by my side, we can injure him, but capturing or killing him alive is not so easy!" Cai Lin shook his head.

"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Xiao Bai turned to the beautiful figure beside him and said earnestly, "Just do your best. It's okay if you can't kill her. Your own safety is the most important thing!"

Cai Lin nodded slightly, her eyes flickered as she looked at Yun Shan. Thinking of his ruthless attack on Xiao Bai just now, her beautiful face remained cold, and a flash of killing intent appeared in her eyes.

"Should I take care of him first?"

"No need! I can do this myself!"

Seeing Yunshan's face gradually darken, Xiao Bai hurriedly waved his hand. Yao Lao couldn't last long. He had only let her observe for a moment because he was worried that she didn't understand Protector Wu's methods.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Then be careful!" Cai Lin nodded and whispered a word of advice.

Although she didn't know much about Xiao Bai's methods, and she didn't know if he could defeat Yun Shan, she knew that it was impossible for Yun Shan to kill Xiao Bai!

He took a step and disappeared from the spot.

"Yunshan, stop her!!"

Protector Wu had noticed the woman long ago, but since she hadn't made a move, he hadn't paid much attention to her. But now it seemed that she and the person who had just arrived were actually in cahoots.

And it's the Xiao family.

His thoughts raced, and he made up his mind that after dealing with Yao Chen, he must go to Wutan City to see if this Xiao family was the same Xiao family that his Soul Hall was looking for!

If it really is the Xiao family, then Yao Chen and the Xiao family together will have made a tremendous contribution this time!

Thinking about this, my heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.

Hearing Protector Wu's shout, Yunshan knew that this usually arrogant fellow was getting impatient.

His eyes were so dark they seemed to be dripping with tears. What he thought was a sure thing today had turned out to be full of unexpected changes. If he wasn't careful, the Yunlan Sect might be in danger of being destroyed.

Taking a deep breath, he stomped his foot on the air, and his body soared into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Bai's body trembled, and he transformed into a streak of light, blocking Xiao Bai's path.

"Yunshan, I am your opponent!"

Looking at Xiao Bai blocking his way, Yun Shan sneered, "A mere Dou Wang ant dares to block the path of my sect!"

Even if he's at the peak of the Dou Wang realm and can instantly kill someone of the same level, so what? If Queen Medusa hadn't intervened just now, he would already be dead!

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and punched Xiao Bai from a distance. A concave arc appeared in the surrounding space, and a piercing sonic boom rang out.

"Heh. Comparing physical bodies?"

With a cold laugh, Xiao Bai threw a punch as fast as lightning, producing the same effect as Yun Shan's, or even more so, as they collided violently.

"Bang!"

The air projectiles fired from the two fists collided, and an invisible ripple of air suddenly spread out, causing the space itself to crack slightly.

"So that's how it is. Is this the courage you have to challenge this sect?" Yun Shan stepped into the void and suddenly took a few steps back. Looking at the figure that had retreated even further, a hint of understanding flashed in his cold eyes.

He finally understood why Yun Ling had been so utterly defeated: this man's physical body was stronger than his own.

If he hadn't been unable to step on the void to dissipate the force, he might have retreated even further.

"Since that's the case, then I'll show you what a true Dou Zong is!" Yun Shan's cold voice slowly descended, and an unusual sense of oppression emanated from his body, instantly spreading outwards.

The deep blue battle aura, like liquid, enveloped his entire body, with faint glimmers emerging from the flowing battle aura, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

Feeling the pressure from the surrounding aura, Xiao Bai smiled slightly, slowly closed his eyes, and his soul power merged with the lightning that had been gathering above.

"Boom!"

The raging thunderous power surged and gathered overhead. Resonating with each other, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from Xiao Bai's body, faintly connecting with the thunderous power in the clouds.

The pressure from the Dou Zong instantly created a vacuum zone within several feet around Xiao Bai.

Seeing this scene, Yun Shan's face twitched, and his brows furrowed slightly. The energy intensity emanating from the thunderclouds above was no weaker than that of a Dou Zong, and a trace of solemnity quietly appeared in his eyes.

"Great Compassion Wind-Tearing Hand!"

An arm shot out, its palm surging with light, which suddenly burst forth, and a giant energy hand, several meters in size, appeared out of nowhere, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind, and slammed down towards Xiao Bai.

Just then, Xiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes, lightning flashing in them, and lightly raised his arm:

"Heavenly Punishment. Fall!"

The shout was like rolling thunder, and a silver beam of light, about ten feet thick, suddenly shot out of the clouds, like the Milky Way falling down, striking down towards the giant hand of energy.

"boom!"

In an instant, the sound drowned out the thunder in the sky, and a blinding light suddenly erupted, causing everyone in the square to close their eyes and experience temporary deafness.

A vast ripple of energy spread rapidly from the collision.

"Teacher, Ah Niu!"

Looking at the distorted space in the sky, Yun Yun was anxious. She didn't want to see either of them get hurt.

The energy fluctuations that filled the sky slowly dissipated after a moment, and all eyes were fixed on the center of the explosion, wondering who would gain the upper hand in such a terrifying collision.

As the distorted space slowly returned to normal, two figures appeared in everyone's sight in the distant sky.

"I must admit, I underestimated you. A peak Dou Wang, and you've actually achieved this!"

Yunshan's clothes were slightly disheveled, and his hands beneath his sleeves trembled slightly as he slowly calmed the paralyzed lightning energy within his body. His face was dark and grim as he said:

"However, this attack should have depleted the lightning in the thunderclouds above. You won't be so lucky next time!"

"Hehe, Yunshan, that last attack was just a rough fighting technique I created to test it out. The real show is coming up, so don't disappoint me!"

A slight coldness flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes. He looked somewhat disheveled, with his black robe torn into strips in many places, but he was not injured.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shan's heart sank slightly. This fighting technique that could allow a peak Dou Wang to withstand a Dou Zong's attack was actually created by him.

This child must not be allowed to live!

"Yunshan, what are you doing?"

Not far away in the sky, three streaks of light collided repeatedly, and the anxious and angry voice of Protector Wu could be heard:

"He's just a Fighting King, let's finish him off quickly!"

Upon hearing these words, a flash of anger crossed Yun Shan's eyes. A mere Dou Wang? He speaks so casually. Is this even a normal Dou Wang?

Xiao Bai glanced over there and saw that Yao Lao and Cai Lin were cooperating and gaining the upper hand, so he stopped interfering.

The most urgent thing right now is to quickly resolve the current situation at Yunshan before the outcome is decided over there, and to set a trap for Protector Wu!

If this guy realizes he can't win and runs away, then there will be big trouble later!

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai flashed and appeared in front of Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian.

"Could I borrow something?"
