Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 246 Oh. He's a lightning bolt guy!

Xiao Bai's voice was low and calm, but the coldness it contained made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

Lingquan has provoked him again and again. Does he really think he has no temper?

Xun'er was slightly taken aback, then understood what Xiao Bai meant.

She nodded slightly, then shook her head and whispered:

"Brother Xiao Bai, the Black Annihilation Army is where our clan's younger generation is trained. He has just been promoted to deputy commander, which means his cultivation has reached the Dou Zong realm. You..."

Xun'er hesitated. She didn't care that Lingquan had been beaten up, as long as he wasn't killed.

However, she had some doubts about Xiao Bai's strength.

She knew Xiao Bai's record in the Jia Ma Empire, including his ability to defeat Yun Shan, a Dou Zong of the Yunlan Sect.

However, Lingquan's background is far superior to that of a Dou Zong like Yunshan.

In terms of cultivation techniques, combat skills, and knowledge, they far surpass the experts of the same realm from some sects outside.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile:

"A Dou Zong, that's what makes a fight interesting. If they're too weak, I won't be very interested!"

His gaze turned to Lingquan, which was as deep and dark as an abyss, carrying an invisible sense of oppression that seemed to freeze one's soul.

He also wanted to test the strength of the younger generation of the eight ancient clans and see just how powerful these so-called imperial clans really were!

Feeling Xiao Bai's gaze, Ling Quan instinctively tensed up.

But soon, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face:

"How arrogant! A mere adopted son of the Xiao family, a nobody from a small town, thinks he can see the real world just because he has some power in this remote corner?"

"You insignificant ant, how dare you be so arrogant before me? Today I'll show you what true power really means!"

Seeing that Xiao Bai was about to attack him, Ling Quan was extremely excited.

I originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but because the young lady was protecting him, I couldn't do it. I didn't expect this ant to deliver himself to my door!

Xiao Bai did not respond, but slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and a wisp of fighting spirit slowly condensed in his palm, emitting a faint light.

In the blink of an eye, a five-colored spear appeared in his hand. With a gentle shake, arcs of lightning leaped out.

"Xun'er, step back, don't worry!"

The voice was deep and thunderous. At this moment, Xiao Bai's powerful aura surged, his eyes were cold, and his expression was disdainful.

"A good-for-nothing who relies on his ancestors' legacy, if it weren't for the meager bloodline within him, he probably wouldn't even be a Dou Huang in his twenties, yet he dares to spout such nonsense in front of me!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the mountain stream froze.

Suddenly turning her head, Xun'er looked at the familiar man beside her, her mouth slightly open, her beautiful eyes flashing with disbelief, and she exclaimed:

"Brother Xiao Bai, you know..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Bai gently raised his hand, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.

"Remember the story I told you? It was told to me by the three guys I fought!"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er was shocked and instantly remembered the three people he had mentioned when he broke through to the Dou Zhe level—the three Emperors!

Could it be true?

Then, looking up, I saw the wicked smile on his lips and immediately realized that this scoundrel was talking nonsense again!

She glared at him fiercely, knowing he didn't want to talk about it, and too lazy to pry, but a complex look flashed in her eyes.

She never expected that Brother Xiao Bai already knew her identity, and that the ancient clan might even know something about it.

Memories flooded my mind.

No wonder this scoundrel seemed unsurprised no matter what she brought out.

And before, when I gave my father's jade slip to this scoundrel, he acted like he had a hot potato and refused to take it no matter what!

"Brother Xiao Bai."

Her voice trembled slightly, and Xun'er's eyes held a hint of guilt and unease.

Turning his head, Xiao Bai looked at her, the coldness in his eyes instantly vanishing, replaced by a gentle tenderness:

"Silly girl, don't blame yourself. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what your status is, Brother Xiao Bai only knows that you will always be my Xun'er!"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's eyes reddened slightly, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She nodded firmly and said in a low voice:

"Okay, Xun'er understands!"

Xiao Bai smiled slightly, reached out and gently ruffled her hair, then turned his gaze back to Ling Quan, the tenderness in his eyes instantly replaced by coldness.

"Lingquan, didn't you want to show me what it means to be arrogant and ignorant?"

"Then let me see just how much this so-called imperial bloodline of yours really amounts to!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Quan snapped out of his shock, his face gradually turning grim, like a bloodthirsty beast. He stared intently at Xiao Bai, his hoarse, chilling voice finally uttering:

"Looks like you, the useless adopted son of the Xiao family, know quite a lot. No wonder. Haha."

As he spoke, Lingquan suddenly burst into laughter, mocking:

"Did you already know my clan's young lady's identity, and then deceive her while she was young, thinking that this would allow you to establish a connection with my clan? Haha!"

"What a clever scheme! But let me tell you, Miss holds an extremely important position in our clan. Only the true powerhouses of the continent can be worthy of her. Someone like you is simply not good enough!"

In the end, Lingquan's face showed extreme meanness and disdain.

"Uh, what you said makes a lot of sense. If you put it that way, I really do seem to be looking for a backer and living off a woman!"

Xiao Bai, gun in one hand, gently stroked his chin, nodded, and turned to look at Ni Zi beside him:

"Xun'er, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's pretty face flushed slightly, then she glared at Xiao Bai and scolded him playfully:

"Brother Xiao Bai, you're talking nonsense again!"

Seeing this, Xiao Bai laughed heartily, his eyes full of doting affection. He gently ruffled Xun'er's hair and exclaimed with delight:

"Haha, you're right, but..."

His gaze returned to Lingquan, he chuckled softly, and shook his head, saying teasingly:

"Some people don't even have the right to spout nonsense. Whether I'm qualified or not is none of a good-for-nothing's business!"

"You're asking for it!"

Seeing that Xiao Bai not only didn't fly into a rage at his words, but instead echoed his mistress's sentiments, Ling Quan's face darkened completely, and a murderous intent surged within him.

"Don't think you can act recklessly just because the young lady is protecting you. If I, the commander, truly wanted to kill a mere Dou Huang, it would be as easy as crushing an ant!"

He took a slow step forward and appeared in the air. His powerful aura, like a volcanic eruption, surged out from his body and swept across the sky above the inner courtyard.

"Today I'll show you the difference between us!"

"Brother Xiao Bai, are you confident?"

Seeing this, Xun'er's beautiful eyes turned slightly cold, and she asked softly.

She knew that a battle today was unavoidable.

She could stop Lingquan, but she knew Xiao Bai's personality very well. With his pride, he wouldn't hide behind her and let people gossip.

Seeing him nod slightly, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice, though soft, was extremely domineering:

"Then go ahead and attack without worry. As long as you don't kill anyone, Xun'er will take responsibility for all the consequences!"

She feared that Xiao Bai would be wary of the ancient clan's power and wouldn't dare to go all out, which would put him at a disadvantage once they clashed!

Her words caused Lingquan's gaze to fall like a blade onto the black-robed youth below, his heart burning with anger and intense jealousy.

Although Xun'er did not grow up in the ancient clan, her talent was known to the younger generation of the ancient clan, and she was the goal they pursued.

This naturally included him. Who knew that the clan's goddess, whom everyone had been looking forward to for so long, would be snatched away by this ant from the Xiao family!

Growing angrier with each thought, he grinned maliciously, clenched his fist, and silver lightning flashed, extending outwards and instantly transforming into a long spear of lightning, its tip pointing directly at Xiao Bai. He said coldly:

"Insects, come and fight!"

"Oh, he's got a knack for throwing grenades!"

Upon seeing the spear in Lingquan's hand, Xiao Bai's expression turned strange, his eyes filled with mockery. He flicked the spear in his hand, took a step forward, and appeared in mid-air, standing suspended in mid-air.

"Spatial abilities... Brother Xiao Bai is amazing!"

A strange light flashed in Xun'er's eyes, and a happy smile appeared on her pretty face. She immediately felt relieved, and with a twist of her body, she slowly retreated, leaving the center of the battle.

"Heh. You do have some skill, but you're still just a Battle Emperor!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lingquan's eyes, followed by a surge of coldness. He shook the spear in his hand, and a dazzling silver light swirled around it.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant thunder dragon, roaring like thunder, and shot towards Xiao Bai.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai was speechless. Has this skill become so commonplace?

Speechless as he was, his hands reacted swiftly, raising his arm and flicking the spear, causing multicolored rays to scatter from its shaft.

In an instant, the same dragon roar resounded through the sky, and the spear in Xiao Bai's hand transformed into a five-colored giant dragon, shooting out rapidly.

"Ding!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Amidst a clap of thunder, the two thunder dragons collided. Instead of the expected deafening roar, they produced a metallic clang, like two spears striking each other.

"What is this?"

Lingquan exclaimed in surprise. He felt that the powerful thunderous battle aura on the spear in his hand was being devoured by the strange five-colored thunder on the other side.

"Heh. Thinking of retreating now? Too late!"

Xiao Bai sneered. He knew that Ling Quan had been caught off guard by his special thunderous battle qi, and his battle qi surged wildly, pouring into the spear in his hand.

The five-colored thunder dragon let out a joyful roar, its body radiating brilliant light. The surrounding space twisted continuously, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing and disappearing.

"Snap!"

To Lingquan's astonishment, a tremendous force emanated from the spear in his hand, and a faint cracking sound came from the spear, like a painful groan.

As the spear shattered, much of the silver lightning on its body was absorbed, and the silver lightning dragon's form gradually faded until it finally disappeared.

Lingquan's expression finally changed. His eyes flashed with anger, and he released his grip, retreating rapidly.

During the rapid retreat, his hands danced, creating afterimages and forming complex hand seals.

"Ha! The Imperial Seal is Decisive!"

Feeling the energy constantly condensing in his palm, Xiao Bai chuckled.

"go!"

He formed a hand seal, then suddenly focused his energy and pushed out with both palms.

The five-colored dragon's eyes seemed to possess sentience. It roared to the sky, its powerful tail lashing out as it charged straight at Lingquan.

Seeing the pursuing Thunder Dragon, Ling Quan's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't care how Xiao Bai knew about the ancient clan's inherited fighting techniques.

He dared not be careless in the slightest, for he had just suffered a loss due to carelessness.

This multicolored lightning was too strange, even comparable to the Black Demon Lightning of the Thunder Clan that I had encountered before!

"The Mountain-Opening Seal!"

He quickly completed the palm print and struck out at the thunder dragon that had already reached him.

"boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout the inner courtyard, and a visible, tangible energy spread rapidly outwards like waves.

The space seemed unable to withstand the immense energy, and a dark crack was torn open.

"stop!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out from afar, the voice filled with anger:

"Are you trying to destroy my inner courtyard?"

As the aged voice faded, two figures appeared above the mountain stream; they were none other than Elder Su Qian and...

Thunderclap!

Looking down at the mountain stream below, which had been partially cut away and was now a scene of devastation within a radius of a thousand meters, Su Qian's face turned grim.

He scanned the two figures ahead for a moment, then said coldly:

"Deputy Commander Lingquan, allowing you into the inner courtyard to search for someone was already the biggest concession Canaan Academy could make. How dare you attack our students?"

Lingquan's aura was chaotic at this moment, and the stinging sensation in his palm made him feel extremely frustrated.

In their exchange just now, he didn't gain any advantage at all; on the contrary, he suffered a loss in silence.

He placed his trembling hands behind his back, nodded to the Grand Elder, and forced a smile, saying:

"Elder, please don't take offense. I just saw your esteemed academy's prodigy and couldn't resist the urge to spar."

Before Lingquan could finish speaking, he saw a familiar face beside the Grand Elder and exclaimed in surprise:

"Thunderous strike?!"

"Lingquan!"

Lei Zhen looked at Ling Quan with a strange expression, then at Xiao Bai.

He never expected that this Brother Xiao, whom he had just met, would rush back in such a hurry to fight with the ancient clan.

Lingquan knew, of course, that the Ancient Clan was a powerful clan among the eight clans, but not as mysterious as the Soul Clan.

Among the younger generation, they either had heard of each other or had directly sparred with each other.

Coincidentally, he had fought with Lingquan before, but he didn't know what the ancient clans were doing at Canaan Academy.

"Xiao Bai, are you alright?" Su Qian asked telepathically, her lips barely moving.

Xiao Bai was instantly dumbfounded, shook his head, and replied telepathically:

"I'm fine. If the Grand Elder hadn't come, he would have been bedridden by now!"

"Don't be careless. Their clan is not simple; they have many tricks up their sleeves. You are exceptionally talented; there's no need to compete with them for a moment's advantage. If something goes wrong, it would be like throwing porcelain against earthenware!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

The Grand Elder was good at using metaphors; he compared the imperial bloodline to an earthenware pot!

"Brother Lei, I didn't expect you to actually get in!" Xiao Bai nodded and smiled at Lei Zhen, greeting him.

"Haha, Brother Xiao, well done!"

Lei Zhen gave Xiao Bai a thumbs up, genuinely admiring this fellow. Judging from their expressions, Lei Zhen knew that Xiao Bai hadn't suffered any loss.

Ling Quan is no nobody. Among the younger generation of the ancient clan, although he is not as famous as Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao, he is still a well-known figure.

This Brother Xiao was born in a remote place in the Northwest. He actually managed to make Ling Quan, an ancient clan Dou Zong, look so bad with his cultivation of a two-star Dou Huang. He is no ordinary person!

"You two know each other?" x2

The Grand Elder and Lingquan exclaimed in surprise. The Grand Elder was simply surprised, while Lingquan was not only surprised, but also felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

When did the Xiao family get involved with the Lei clan?

Could it be that the "key" has already fallen into the hands of ThunderClan?
