Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 247 A Knife, a Fist, a Kick

Xiao Bai's lips moved slightly as he telepathically explained to the Grand Elder what had happened in the valley.

As for Lingquan, he couldn't be bothered with him.

"Demon Flame Valley!" A fierce glint flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes.

"Xiao Bai, thank you so much this time!"

Then he looked at Xiao Bai and felt a sense of relief. Luckily, Xiao Bai was passing by at the time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Elder, you're too kind. I'm also a member of Canaan Academy, so naturally I won't stand idly by!"

Xiao Bai shook his head slightly and waved his hand:

"You guys are busy, I'll head back now!"

With a flash, he landed beside Xun'er, took her delicate hand, and smiled:

Let's go!

"Brother Xiao Bai."

Xun'er was stunned, not knowing Xiao Bai's plan. She was supposed to return to her clan today, but judging from his appearance, he was going to take her back to the academy.

"If you leave now, we don't know when we'll see each other again. Why don't you stay a few more days and keep Brother Xiao Bai company?"

Xiao Bai gently stroked her fair face, his heart filled with melancholy and his eyes filled with reluctance.

Xun'er felt the warmth of Xiao Bai's palm, her heart trembled slightly, and she looked up at that familiar face.

His image was reflected in her clear, beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to deeply imprint his appearance in her heart.

She gently bit her lower red lips, feeling sad at the thought of not being able to see him for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded:

"Alright, stay for three more days. Xun'er will be going back in three days. If she stays too long, you'll be in trouble!"

"good!"

Xiao Bai nodded, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

He gripped Xun'er's hand tightly, as if afraid she would disappear at any moment.

"Impossible! The clan leader has ordered that we depart immediately upon receiving the young lady!"

Upon hearing their conversation, Lingquan forgot all about the Xiao family's affairs, and his already gloomy face turned even darker, almost dripping with water.

He wouldn't allow this person to have any intimate contact with the young lady under his nose, not even for three days, not even for a moment.

"Lingquan, don't try to act like you have a throne. I will tell Father myself if anything happens!"

Hearing him repeatedly invoke the clan's authority, Xun'er's beautiful eyes turned icy cold as she angrily rebuked him.

Her brother Xiao Bai had given her a big surprise during their exchange just now.

If he couldn't beat Lingquan, she might hesitate for his safety.

But now, Xiao Bai, with his cultivation as a two-star Dou Huang, has managed to make Ling Quan suffer a loss, giving her great confidence in their future.

Brother Xiao Bai has managed to reach this point in the barren Northwest Continent on his own, and the talent he has shown is in no way inferior to that of the clan's prodigies.

As a result, the pressure she faced within the clan was much, much less than before.

This is also the source of her confidence to agree to stay for three more days in front of Lingquan.

If her brother Xiao Bai were weak today, she would leave immediately, no matter how reluctant she was.

If he stays, he will only suffer ridicule and humiliation!

This may seem a bit realistic, but in this world where the strong are respected, strength can break the rules and avoid too much helplessness!

"You ant, all you do is stand behind women, wagging your tongue and spreading rumors!"

"If you're so capable, step forward and defeat me. What's three days to give you?"

Seeing Xun'er's resolute attitude, Ling Quan's face became even uglier. He looked at Xiao Bai with a cold and sinister gaze, his killing intent radiating from him.

"Damn it, you've got some nerve!"

His gaze deepened, and Xiao Bai looked at Elder Su Qian with an indifferent expression, calmly asking:

"Elder, may I borrow this place for a moment?"

"Oh, do as you please!"

Looking at Xiao Bai's expressionless face, Su Qian sighed softly. He had stopped him earlier only because he was afraid that Xiao Bai would suffer a loss.

Seeing the little guy's expression, I knew he wouldn't give up easily today, so I had no choice but to agree.

"Haha. Very well. Before, you only managed to make this commander suffer a hidden loss by relying on that five-colored lightning. Now you..."

Before he could finish his smug and arrogant words, Lingquan's voice abruptly stopped, and his hands quickly began to form hand seals, his expression wary.

Xiao Bai raised his arm slightly, and five-colored light intertwined. In the blink of an eye, a three-foot-long sword appeared in his palm. Then, he took a step and his figure disappeared.

"you"

Sensing a sudden, sharp gust of wind behind him, Lingquan turned around abruptly and saw a multicolored blade of light, several meters long, rushing towards him. Lingquan was immediately startled.

He didn't expect Xiao Bai to be so unconventional, not even bothering to say a word before taking action.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body about to retreat.

"Too late. The wind-up for your combat skills is too long, and your spatial comprehension is pitifully weak. You... are you really of imperial blood?"

A sharp blade of light slashed down vertically from above Ling Quan's head.

Ling Quan's face turned to horror. Without time to think, the powerful battle qi within his body surged like a wild horse, continuously reinforcing his armor in an attempt to block the attack.

However, the blade seemed illusory as it passed through his body, slicing vertically without causing the pain he had imagined.

After retreating a distance, he looked at himself with lingering fear and found no wounds, which immediately put his mind at ease.

"Haha. Are you trying to tickle this commander's itch?"

"idiot!"

Xiao Bai glanced at him coldly, but did not pursue him. His aura began to fluctuate.

A moment later, a powerful force suddenly surged into his body, continuously pushing his cultivation level upward.

Three-star Dou Huang, four-star Dou Huang, five-star Dou Huang!

On the other side, Ling Quan, who was about to continue his taunts, suddenly felt a weakness in his body, and his aura fluctuated.

Nine-Star Dou Zong Dou Huang!

"What kind of fighting technique is that?!"

At this moment, he was filled with shock. Born into an ancient clan, he was quite knowledgeable, yet he had never seen such a bizarre fighting technique before.

It can actually absorb the cultivation of others to enhance itself!

"Great Five Elements Divine Light!"

Her jewel-like eyes lit up instantly, and Xun'er's pretty face lit up with excitement. She knew that this was a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique created by Xiao Bai himself.

This is the first time I've seen him actually use it.

After the fluctuations in his internal energy subsided, Xiao Bai raised his eyes.

Looking at Lingquan, who could no longer stand on thin air and had a pair of energy wings appearing behind him, a cold smile gradually appeared on his lips.

With a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.

Upon seeing this, a hint of fear flickered in Lingquan's eyes.

He was genuinely scared, both of Xiao Bai stabbing him again and causing his cultivation to drop further, and of the fact that he couldn't recover the lost cultivation.

As his mind wavered, a piercing sonic boom rang out, and the void trembled violently.

A fist, brimming with power and accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, suddenly appeared in front of his chest.

"Bang!"

A figure flew backwards for hundreds of meters in the air, leaving behind a trail of blood mist.

Before the figure could stop, Xiao Bai took a step forward, his figure disappeared again, and he reappeared above the flying figure, stomping down with his foot.

Bang!

With another sharp crack, Lingquan's body formed a U-shape, his chest armor suddenly turned into powder, and he plummeted downwards, his body slamming heavily onto a mountain.

boom!

Huge pieces of rock flew everywhere. When the dust settled, a large pit, several meters in diameter, appeared out of nowhere at the top of the mountain.

"Commander!"

The dozen or so riders who had followed Lingquan saw the figure coughing up blood in the crater and exclaimed in disbelief.

"What, you're all coming at me too!"

The latest novel is first published here!

As a dozen or so four-winged unicorns surrounded him, Xiao Bai stretched out his hand, and a five-colored lightning spear instantly appeared in his hand.

His black robes rustled as he surveyed the Black Annihilation Army with a haughty and cold gaze.

They exchanged a glance, and one of the Black Annihilation Army riders stepped forward, respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Young Master Xiao, we mean no harm; we merely wish to ascertain the commander's safety. Please do not misunderstand!"

"The Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army, it seems they can still speak some human language!"

Xiao Bai then sheathed his spear, his dark eyes indifferent. He glanced at the figure below, whose chest had caved in, and coldly said:

"Lingquan, I'll spare you this time for the sake of Xun'er being from the same clan. But if you dare bark at me again, I'll smash your dog head in!"

Having said that, he took a few steps and appeared above the mountain stream as if in a flash. Looking at the girl who seemed to have turned into a little fangirl, the coldness in his eyes thawed like a spring breeze, and he smiled, extending his palm:

Let's go!

"Um!"

She nodded gently, obediently placed her hand in his palm, their fingers intertwined, and with light steps, followed Xiao Bai away.

Lei Zhen stood there, staring blankly in the direction where Xiao Bai and Xun'er had left, his heart filled with an overwhelming sense of shock.

He originally thought that this battle would be an earth-shattering struggle, and he had even prepared himself for Xiao Bai to win a pyrrhic victory.

However, reality far exceeded his expectations.

"Is that all?"

Lei Zhen muttered to himself, his tone filled with disbelief.

Recalling what had just happened, Xiao Bai only used three moves—a knife, a punch, and a kick.

He then completely defeated Ling Quan, a Dou Zong expert from the ancient clan. His decisive and swift fighting style, and his domineering aura, were truly terrifying.

"It's gotten this strong! That longsword fighting technique is truly bizarre!"

Although they knew Xiao Bai was no ordinary person, they never imagined that he could crush Ling Quan in such a short time.

While Lei Zhen was shocked, he also felt a little apprehensive.

He asked himself, even if he were to go up against Lingquan, he could never do it so easily and decisively!

And beside him, the stunningly beautiful girl, as lovely as a lotus, was actually the legendary heiress of the ancient clan.

The fact that someone who almost became his cousin's wife is now so close to Brother Xiao fills him with indescribable feelings.

"It seems this Brother Xiao I just met is quite remarkable. And his surname is Xiao too. Hehe, interesting!"

"Hehe. I wonder what kind of expression Dong-ge will have when he meets him in the future?"

Lei Zhen stroked his chin, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, a playful smile appearing on his usually cold face.

"Tsk tsk. I didn't expect his strength to have changed so much in just a few months. I guess I was just being nosy this time!"

Watching Xiao Bai and Xun'er's departing figures, a complex emotion flashed in Elder Su Qian's eyes.

After a long pause, he shook his head, feeling both relieved and worried.

To his relief, Xiao Bai's strength had far exceeded his expectations, and he was even able to easily defeat the Dou Zong level experts of the ancient clans.

The concern is that the entanglement between Xiao Bai and the ancient clans may trigger even greater turmoil in the future.

The people of that clan have extremely high standards. Although he didn't know much about them, he could sense their power from the few words the dean had once spoken.

On the other side, Xiao Bai held Xun'er's hand and strolled along the path behind Canaan Academy.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, casting a golden glow that seemed to gild their figures with a warm hue.

"Brother Xiao Bai, Xun'er is very happy today, extremely happy!"

Holding Xiao Bai's arm tightly, Xun'er's voice was as sweet as a nightingale's, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and joy.

Xiao Bai smiled, knowing what Xun'er meant. He tightened his grip on her hand, scratched his delicate nose, and chuckled:

"Did you think to yourself, 'Wow, this man has finally made something of himself!' And then you felt a lot of pressure disappear, and you were filled with confidence for the future?"

"Pah! That's a really awful way to put it!"

She lightly spat at him, then wrinkled her little nose. A smile played on her pretty face as she leaned her head against his arm and said sweetly:

"You are a man, and men value their reputation most. I don't care about those rumors, but if anyone speaks ill of Brother Xiao Bai, Xun'er will feel heartbroken!"

"Not only that, now that Brother Xiao Bai knows the truth, Xun'er won't have to worry about this anymore!"

Sensing the delicate fragrance lingering around his nose and feeling the girl's affection beside him, Xiao Bai's heart was filled with tenderness. Looking towards the setting sun in the distance, he said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, I will become stronger, so strong that no one will dare to gossip about us, strong enough to break through all obstacles and let us be together forever!"

His voice was deep and firm, as if every word carried a heavy weight.

Xun'er nestled beside Xiao Bai, listening to his powerful words, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She gently raised her head, gazing tenderly at the resolute and confident young man, as if trying to etch his current appearance deep into her heart.

"Xun'er has always believed that my brother Xiao Bai will one day stand at the pinnacle of that continent, revered by millions!"

Her voice was soft yet firm, as if carrying endless trust and expectation; her gaze was gentle as water, yet it revealed an undeniable determination.

Xiao Bai looked down at her, feeling as if a warm current was enveloping his heart.

The girl in front of him treated him the same way, regardless of his ups and downs, without ever changing.

She was the most special person in his heart, and the person he trusted the most.

Xiao Bai gently stroked the strands of hair that were ruffled by the mountain breeze, his mind filled with memories of their time together, his gaze softening.

"Xun'er, thank you!"

Sensing Xiao Bai's affection, Xun'er smiled slightly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

She gently leaned against Xiao Bai's shoulder, enveloped by his familiar scent, and her heart calmed down. She murmured softly:

"Brother Xiao Bai, Xun'er will always be with you. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will walk together!"

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the two of them, casting long shadows.

The distant mountains, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, appeared as if draped in a golden veil, making them exceptionally magnificent.

A gentle breeze carried a faint floral fragrance, as if bearing witness to their vows.
