Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 307 Wind and Thunder Appear, Burning Flames Emerge

"Xiao Bai is extremely powerful. Although I'm gradually adapting to my new body and have barely reached the level of a three-star Dou Zun, if I were to actually fight him, I could only hold out for a short while at most!"

Standing side by side with Xiao Bai, Yao Tianhuo gazed at the white-robed figure in the distance with a solemn expression.

Just as Xiao Bai was about to speak, a pair of small, icy hands were placed into his large hands. The voice was still gentle, but anyone could hear the reluctance in it.

"Xiao Bai, why don't you go with Elder Yao? He wants the Calamity Poison Body. If I stay, he probably won't."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Bai's brows furrowed, interrupting her abruptly. His gaze turned serious as he stared intently at her, and he said in a deep voice:

"Remember me, Xiao Bai, today. Even if I die here in battle, I will not use you to save my own life, nor will I allow you to sacrifice yourself on your own!"

He never expected that this silly girl would have such a thought in her mind!

"Did you hear that?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Bai deliberately emphasized his tone.

"Um!"

The fairy doctor smiled slightly and nodded obediently.

Seeing his deliberately stern face, with ripples appearing in his purplish-gray eyes, she playfully stuck out her little tongue, her jade-like cheeks beaming with a bright smile, like the early spring sunshine, dispelling the gloom of the battlefield.

Withdrawing his burning gaze from Little Fairy Doctor, Binghe looked at the black-robed youth with amusement, never expecting him to be such a devoted lover.

As someone with an acquired Calamity Poison Body, he was very familiar with this constitution. Calamity Poison Body is uncontrollable; anyone who gets close to it will be poisoned.

"What a touching scene! Since you wish to die here, then I will grant your wish!"

He raised his hand and waved it, and countless ice spikes appeared out of thin air, shooting out like a torrential rain.

"Heavenly Fire Wall!"

Yao Tianhuo dared not be careless and hurriedly used his defensive fighting technique, creating a massive wall of fire that blocked the way for the three of them.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai took a deep breath and spoke in a solemn voice.

"Elder Yao, hold him off for a bit and buy me some time. Xian'er, step back. I might not be able to look after you later."

Yao Tianhuo was taken aback. Judging from Xiao Bai's tone, he seemed to have the ability to fight against the glacier.

But after spending this time together, he thought he knew Xiao Bai very well, and he was surprised to find that Xiao Bai had such a trump card up his sleeve.

Looking at the equally stunned Little Fairy Doctor, she shook her head slightly, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and darted away behind the two of them.

With her current cultivation level, she couldn't possibly get involved in the battle here, and might even become a hindrance. It would be better to listen to Xiaobai.

She believed him!

"In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Bai, if I were to fight him head-on, this is the most I could buy you!"

Yao Tianhuo wasn't boasting. He could conserve his strength for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and then take a risk and try to escape with the three of them.

If the battle drags on, and it becomes intense, then all that's left is to fight desperately.

If they try to escape now, their chances of success are not high, and some of them might fall behind. This was the result of his repeated consideration.

Before even telling Xiao Bai, I heard that he seemed to have a solution, so I might as well listen to him and give it a shot.

"One incense stick's time!" Xiao Bai murmured softly, nodding, "That's enough!"

"Alright, I guarantee this fellow won't bother you for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

Yao Tianhuo breathed a slight sigh of relief, stepped forward, and shielded him behind him.

"Now that I've advanced to the Dou Zong level, my physique should be able to handle it. Although it's still a bit risky, what cultivation is without risk!"

Xiao Bai gently licked his lips, his gaze gradually hardening.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the dragon-shaped mark on his arm began to glow with a faint purple-gold light, as if some ancient and powerful force was awakening.

Just as he was about to break a seal, a piercing sound of wind and thunder suddenly rang out in the sky!

"Not good!" Yao Tianhuo was the first to react and turned around abruptly.

Xiao Bai felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around, and his pupils suddenly contracted—

A silver lightning bolt ripped through the sky, passing by the location of Little Fairy Doctor with lightning speed.

As the lightning subsided, a middle-aged man dressed in a silver robe stood suspended in mid-air.

With his left hand he held the unconscious Feng Qing'er, while his right hand controlled a cage made of lightning, in which Little Fairy Doctor was trapped!

"The dignified Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion would actually resort to such a sneak attack!"

Xiao Bai gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a murderous intent that was almost tangible.

Lei Zunzhe remained unperturbed: "The victor is king, the loser is villain. I only care about the outcome when dealing with enemies. You first killed several elders of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and then you killed Fei Tian, ​​the Pavilion Master of the Northern Pavilion. This enmity is irreconcilable!"

Xiao Bai calmed down, his voice chillingly cold: "Release her."

"Release her?" Thunder Venerable laughed. "Fine! Since you stole the complete Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body technique from my Wind and Thunder Pavilion, as compensation, hand over the secret method to enhance your strength, along with your Five-Colored Thunder Technique, and I'll release her. How about that?"

Ice River also ceased its attack, watching the scene with great interest: "Lord Thunder, well done! Hand this woman over to me, and Ice River Valley will grant any request from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

A hint of greed flashed in Lei Zun Zhe's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

While the conditions offered by Ice Valley were tempting, he was even more interested in obtaining the secrets of Xiao Bai.

This black-robed youth is so powerful that his cultivation technique must be extraordinary. In addition, the lightning attribute makes him even more attractive to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Xiao Bai stared intently at Lei Zunzhe, then suddenly sneered, "Lei Zunzhe, if you dare hand her over to Binghe, Feng Qing'er will surely die!"

"What?" Lei Zunzhe's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked at Feng Qing'er in his hand.

"Don't believe me? You can examine her consciousness," Xiao Bai said coldly. "I've already planted a soul seal within her. If you dare to collude with Binghe, her soul will be instantly annihilated!"

Lei Zunzhe hurriedly probed Feng Qing'er's body with his soul power. After a moment, his expression turned extremely ugly: "Qing'er, is this true?"

Feng Qing'er had already regained consciousness and weakly nodded: "Sect Master, this disciple is incompetent."

Lei Zun Zhe's expression was uncertain; he hadn't expected Xiao Bai to have this trick up his sleeve.

Feng Qing'er is not only the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of Fenglei Pavilion, but also a descendant of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. If anything were to happen to her, Fenglei Pavilion would offend the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan at the same time.

"Xiao Bai, what exactly do you want?" Venerable Lei asked in a deep voice.

"It's simple, an exchange." Xiao Bai said, enunciating each word clearly, "You release my people, and I will lift the seal on Feng Qing'er's soul."

Binghe, who was listening nearby, was furious: "Lord Lei, don't be fooled by him! I can help you break that soul seal!"

Xiao Bai suddenly turned around, looking at Binghe with a mocking expression: "You're nothing! With just a thought, that little phoenix will become a dead phoenix. The Heavenly Phoenix Clan will certainly come after me, but your Binghe Valley won't have an easy time either!"

"Insolence!" Binghe roared in fury, his body radiating a chilling aura. "How dare a mere Dou Zong threaten me?"

Even though I know he's telling the truth, if that little phoenix were to die here today because of him, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, with its arrogance and strength, wouldn't bother reasoning with him at all.

But as the head of a top power in Zhongzhou, how could he not be furious to be publicly reprimanded by a mere child?

"Hold on, Venerable Hyoga!"

Lei Zunzhe hurriedly stopped him, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty as he looked at Xiao Bai.

"Do you truly dare to be an enemy of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"

The purple light from the dragon seal on Xiao Bai's right arm flickered, and a ruthless smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Why don't you give it a try, Venerable Lei?"

Before she could finish speaking, Feng Qing'er suddenly let out a shrill scream, and blood seeped from her seven orifices.

Lei Zun Zhe was greatly alarmed and shouted sternly.

"Stop! I agree!"

A cold glint flashed in Binghe's eyes as he telepathically urged:

"Lord Lei, why not take a gamble—if we join forces, you can block the Dou Zun protecting him, and I'll take him down before that brat can make a move. Then you can take him away, and I'll only take the Calamity Poison Body!"

"The Glacier Master!"

Lei Zunzhe interrupted, glancing at him speechlessly, "I'm sorry I can't accompany you. This is a risk we can't take. If anything happens to Qing'er, the wrath of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is something neither of us can bear!"

He then looked at Xiao Bai, his expression shifting between light and dark, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll release them, and you can lift the seal!"

Xiao Bai sneered: "You release it first!"

Enraged, Thunder Venerable laughed coldly: "Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

Xiao Bai refused to budge an inch: "Then let's wait and see who gives in first!"

Above Tianhuang City, the atmosphere was frozen solid, with all sides facing off and no one daring to make a move.

The entire city fell into a deathly silence; everyone held their breath, watching this breathtaking standoff.

Everyone knows that whoever backs down first loses!

Lei Zun Zhe's face was gloomy, and the Thunder Cage in his hand flickered slightly. Little Fairy Doctor was trapped inside, but she was not seriously injured. She rested her fair chin on her hand, sat cross-legged, and occasionally her beautiful purple-gray eyes met Xiao Bai's. She even winked mischievously.

With her soul sealed, Venerable Lei dared not make any move against her, fearing that if Xiao Bai misunderstood, Feng Qing'er's soul would be instantly annihilated.

Glacier's eyes flickered as he weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Although he coveted the Calamity Poison Body, if he were to force Feng Qing'er to her death, the wrath of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan would be far beyond what the Ice River Valley could withstand.

Just when the stalemate was at its peak—

"boom!"

In the distance, a crimson streak of fire ripped across the sky, like a falling meteor, descending with immense pressure.

"Haha, you are all rare guests. You've come to my Burning Flame Valley territory without any prior notice and caused such a commotion. How about I, the host, join in the fun?"

A deep, resonant laugh rang out, and then two figures appeared, stepping through the air.

The leader, dressed in a crimson robe, had a resolute face and piercing eyes. He was surrounded by intense fire-attribute battle aura, and his every move seemed capable of incinerating the heavens and earth.

"Lord of the Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen?!"

Lei Zunzhe's pupils contracted, and his expression changed slightly.

When Binghe saw the newcomer, a shadow crossed his eyes. Too many things had happened today, and his goal of capturing the Calamity Poison Body would probably not go smoothly.

A few breaths later, Tang Zhen arrived above Tianhuang City, his gaze slowly sweeping over the several figures confronting each other in the air.

Beside him was a girl in a red dress, with a beautiful face and a touch of heroism between her brows. She was Tang Huo'er, whom Xiao Bai had met in the Tianmu Mountains!

"Greetings, Valley Master!" Huo Yun Huo Lie was overjoyed to see the newcomer and breathed a long sigh of relief. He hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects and recounted the events of the day in detail.

"It's him!"

Tang Huo'er recognized Xiao Bai at a glance, a look of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes. She then whispered to Tang Zhen:

"Father, he's the one I mentioned before, the one who granted me the spot in the Tianmu Mountains!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's gaze lingered on Xiao Bai for a moment, and he nodded slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"I see."

He laughed loudly, his gaze sweeping over Venerable Lei and Venerable Binghe, his tone calm yet unquestionable:

"Gentlemen, how about we give Tang some face and call it a day?"

Lei Zun Zhe clasped his hands and said, "Valley Master Tang, it's not that I'm disrespecting you, but this boy killed an elder of my Fenglei Pavilion and kidnapped a disciple. If I, as the Pavilion Master, do nothing, the Fenglei Pavilion's centuries-old prestige will become a laughingstock!"

Tang Zhen frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Bai: "Young friend, is there any room for maneuver in this matter?"

Xiao Bai's gaze was cold, but faced with Tang Zhen's seemingly benevolent attempt to resolve their grudges, he still said in a deep voice:

"Valley Master Tang, if they hadn't attacked me first, I wouldn't have killed them. Now that they're threatening my wife's safety, I naturally can't back down."

Tang Zhen nodded, then turned his gaze to Venerable Lei:

"Sect Master Lei, I don't care about your personal grudges, but this stalemate can't continue. How about this: you release that young lady, and young friend Xiao Bai will lift the seal on Feng Qing'er? What do you say?"

Lei Zun Zhe's expression was uncertain, but Tang Zhen was clearly on Xiao Bai's side. If the stalemate continued, it would not be good for him.

"Alright! I can release him, but he must immediately lift Qing'er's seal, otherwise..."

Xiao Bai interrupted coldly, "Release them first!"

"You—" Thunder Venerable glared angrily.

Tang Zhen raised his hand to stop them: "Gentlemen, how about I act as witness? Pavilion Master Lei will release the person first, and then young friend Xiao Bai will lift the seal, how about that?"

Xiao Bai nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Venerable Lei pondered for a moment, and could only grit his teeth and agree.

"snort!"

With a wave of his hand, the Thunder Prison instantly dissipated, and Little Fairy Doctor's body lightened, immediately flying towards Xiao Bai.

"Little White!" she called softly, her eyes filled with joy.

Xiao Bai pulled her in front of him, checked her over to make sure she was alright, and then looked at Feng Qing'er. With a flick of his finger, a soul wave emanated, and the seal within Feng Qing'er's body was released.

"Alright," Xiao Bai said calmly.

Lei Zunzhe hurriedly checked Feng Qing'er's condition and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the seal had been broken.

"Valley Master Tang, I have offended you greatly today. I will certainly come to apologize in person another day!"

He first bowed to Tang Zhen, then gave Xiao Bai a cold glance, and then, with Feng Qing'er, transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the distance.

Seeing this, Binghe knew that he could not succeed today. A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but with Tang Zhen here, he did not dare to make a forceful move.

"Xiao Bai, is that right? I'll remember you."

He gave a sinister smile, his figure gradually becoming ethereal, and finally disappeared from the spot.

After the two left, Tang Zhen turned to Xiao Bai and said with a smile, "Young friend, now that the matter is settled, why don't you come with me to Burning Flame Valley for a while?"

Xiao Bai clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Many thanks to Valley Master Tang for your help today. I am deeply grateful."

Tang Huo'er blinked and laughed, "The one in the black robe, so your name is Xiao Bai. I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Xiao Bai smiled slightly: "Miss Tang, how have you been?"

Tang Zhen laughed heartily: "Huo'er has been praising you endlessly, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

Xiao Bai shook his head: "You flatter me. If it weren't for Valley Master Tang's intervention today, it would have been much more complicated."

Tang Zhen waved his hand: "It was nothing. However, I'm afraid the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Ice River Valley won't let this go easily, so young friend, you'll have to be careful in the future."

He didn't confront Binghe because Xiao Bai's appearance was a pleasant surprise, and fortunately, it didn't cause too much damage, so he couldn't be bothered to argue about it.

Ice River's cultivation level was not much different from his, and if he really wanted to leave, he couldn't be stopped.

As for the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, they are backed by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and since their clansmen have experienced some troubles today, it's not appropriate to make things too difficult for them.

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, and he nodded. They wouldn't give up, and neither would he!

He has remembered everything that happened today, whether it was Ice River Valley or Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and there will be a reckoning in the future.

Tang Zhen could tell that he had his own thoughts, so he didn't continue the topic and instead smiled:

"Let's go to Burning Flame Valley first. I have some things I'd like to discuss with you, young friend."

Xiao Bai glanced at Little Fairy Doctor and Yao Tianhuo, and seeing them nod, he smiled and said:

"Then I'll have to trouble you."
