Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 399 Another clueless fool has arrived!

"Why do I get the feeling that these people don't seem like they're welcoming guests?"

Xiao Yan's expression turned slightly solemn as he gazed at the scene below.

Before the ancient holy city's massive, weathered gate, the once empty space was now teeming with people, making it somewhat crowded.

Moreover, looking out, through the transparent light shield atop the city wall, one could vaguely see streaks of light constantly shooting out from the city center and heading towards this place.

These figures were almost all young, with varying degrees of aura strength, but without exception, their gazes were filled with scrutiny, curiosity, and a hint of hostility, all focused on Brother Bai in front of them.

"is it him?"

At the gates of the ancient holy city, countless newcomers immediately turned their attention to the tall, black-robed youth standing on the bow of the ship.

Xiao Bai!

In recent years, this name has almost become a kind of 'public enemy' among the younger generation of the ancient tribe.

It wasn't that he had done anything heinous, but rather because of the woman whom countless ancient clan prodigies admired yet dared not defile—Gu Xun'er.

She possesses stunning beauty, extraordinary talent, and the unparalleled status of the clan leader's daughter...

The combination of these three factors is enough to drive all the young talents in the clan crazy; its allure is almost fatal.

But this person, who seemed perfect in their eyes, had already given her heart to him.

Moreover, he has a special identity, coming from the Xiao clan, which has been in decline for thousands of years.

This complex mix of emotions—jealousy, disdain, and resentment at having the tribe's most dazzling gem snatched away by "outsiders"—finally found an outlet.

A silent commotion began to fill the air, as if a single spark could ignite the entire scene. The crowd surged forward to kill the man on the bow of the ship.

In the ancient holy city, a figure gazed at the figure standing against the wind on the giant ship outside the city, his eyes trembling slightly, and his aged face showing a long-lost excitement.

Instead of following the crowd to the city outskirts, they went against the flow of people and quickly sped towards the entrance of the ancient realm.

Passing through the boundary gate, the aged figure flew without hesitation toward a misty mountain peak deep within the ancient realm.

"Miss, Miss"

Amidst the clouds and mist, the excited voice of the aged figure carried far and wide.

Inside a secluded bamboo house atop the mountain, a woman dressed in a light blue dress was meditating cross-legged. A scorching aura surrounded her, causing ripples to spread through the space.

At one moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and two golden beams shot straight into the void, before slowly receding a moment later.

"Elder Ling, what is it?"

"Miss, the young master has arrived in the Ancient Holy City and is currently outside the city!"

Ling Ying's aged and respectful voice rang out outside the main building. The woman inside was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on her calm and pretty face.

She hurriedly got up and headed outside, but after thinking for a moment, she took small steps and came to the huge bronze mirror next to her. She kept adjusting her clothes, then carefully examined her delicate face in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

You look just as beautiful today, I'm sure Brother Xiao Bai will love you!
"Miss, Miss"

Ling Ying paced anxiously outside the bamboo house, puzzled. In the past, the young lady would always appear immediately upon hearing news of the young master. Why was she acting so strangely today?
"Squeak-"

Just then, the door opened, and Xun'er slowly walked out of the main building.

"Miss, hurry up! If you don't go soon, the young master will get into a fight!"

Ling Ying looked at her unhurried young lady and shook her head with a wry smile.

"They're fighting? With whom?"

Xun'er was taken aback, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"The younger generation of the clan."

Ling Ying paused, hesitated for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice:
"all."

Upon hearing this, a shadow of gloom flashed across Xun'er's bright eyes. She looked in a certain direction, gritting her teeth.

"Those old fogies in the Elders' Council!"

But only for a moment, her expression returned to calm, and she scoffed disdainfully in her heart:
snort!
I was prepared for this, so don't get angry later!
"Let's go pick up Brother Xiao Bai!"

Xun'er showed no sign of anxiety as she headed towards the exit of the boundary gate. Since those guys were willing to offer their faces for Brother Xiao Bai to hit, then let them have their way!
Ling Ying scratched his head. Seeing that his young mistress was confident, he had no choice but to suppress his doubts and follow her.
Outside the ancient holy city.

On the warship, Lei Zhen, Huo Zhi, and the others exchanged glances, feeling a chill run down their spines. They could clearly sense the hostility contained in those gazes, representing almost half of the younger generation of the ancient clan.

"I told you long ago, I shouldn't have come here with him!"

Yao Xingji quietly took a step back and muttered something in dissatisfaction.

"Shut up!"

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He turned around, glared at him, and said sharply:
"If you utter another word, I'll kill you!"

"you"

Yao Xingji's face darkened. How dare this outcast rebuke him?

I immediately wanted to retort, but suddenly an overwhelming sense of crisis rose in my heart.

As if sensing something, Yao Ling's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly bowed to the figure standing with his hands behind his back in front of her.
"I'm sorry, Palace Master Xiao, I assure you, he won't say another word after this!"

Yao Xingji's body stiffened, and he was covered in cold sweat. Only when the sense of crisis gradually dissipated did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Just a moment ago, if Yao Ling hadn't suddenly spoken, he felt that Xiao Bai really wanted to kill him, without any hesitation.

Thinking of this, a chill ran through him, and he looked at the figure on the bow of the ship with intense fear in his eyes.

madman!

They actually dared to ignore the Medicine Clan behind him and show murderous intent towards him.

"Fool! Don't you see the situation? So many ancient people are showing hostility, yet he remains unfazed. Do you think he would be afraid of your identity?"

Yao Ling reprimanded him harshly via telepathy. She was truly helpless with this guy. His behavior wasn't obvious in the clan, but once he came out, he revealed his true colors. Did he really think everyone outside was in awe of the Yao Clan?
Xiao Bai ignored the commotion behind him, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the dense crowd as if he were looking at a meaningless landscape.

This disregard only further enraged some people.

Someone always has to step forward first, and there has to be a "reason" to take action.

After all, Xiao Bai came here because Dao Ming had come to visit, but the clan's intentions were worth pondering.

They didn't stop the younger generation from crossing the boundary, but they also didn't invite Xiao Bai into the Ancient Holy City.

The meaning is almost explicitly stated:

To enter the ancient holy city, one must first pass the test of the younger generation.

Soon, as expected, the "reason" popped up on its own.

"Xiao Bai!"

A roar filled with resentment and humiliation suddenly rang out, shattering the eerie balance.

The crowd parted, and a black figure, enveloped in fierce battle aura, shot out like an arrow, heading straight for Xiao Bai at the bow of the ship!

Wearing the standard armor of the Black Annihilation Army, his face was distorted with extreme anger. He was none other than Ling Quan, the Black Annihilation Army commander who had been severely punished by Xiao Bai at Canaan Academy!
"You arrogant fool, how dare you come to my ancient clan and trespass into the ancient holy city! Get down here!"

Lingquan roared, unleashing his full power. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Bai. For the past two years, the crushing defeat had haunted him like a nightmare, making him unable to hold his head high in the army and within his clan.

Now that his enemy is right in front of him, he is filled with intense hatred and only wants to avenge himself in front of everyone!
He had used all his strength in this attack, even exceeding his usual level, and the momentum was quite frightening.

The black spear in his hand conjured countless spear shadows, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and ruthlessly stabbed towards Xiao Bai's face.

Many young people from the ancient tribes behind them exclaimed in surprise, either to encourage Lingquan or to feel that someone had finally stepped forward.
But more than anything, there was anticipation—anticipation to see Xiao Bai forced back or even injured and disheveled.

However, Xiao Bai's reaction to this fierce and brutal attack was so simple it was breathtaking.

His eyes showed no emotion, he didn't even lift his hand, and his feet didn't move an inch.

just
She glanced at Lingquan indifferently.

That gaze was calm and undisturbed, yet as profound as the ancient starry sky, and as sharp as the first thunderbolt to strike the heavens and the earth!
In an instant...

There were no earth-shattering energy collisions, nor any elaborate and dazzling fighting techniques.

But the moment Xiao Bai's gaze fell on Ling Quan, Ling Quan, who was charging forward with unstoppable momentum, suddenly froze, as if his soul had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer!
"puff--!"

His momentum came to an abrupt halt.

The countless gunshots vanished instantly, and a mouthful of blood gushed out without warning, scattering across the sky.

The anger and ferocity on his face were instantly replaced by extreme pain and horror.

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his body, like a puppet with its strings cut, plummeted from mid-air.

boom!
The heavy body crashed onto the hard bluestone ground below with a muffled thud, kicking up a little dust.

Lingquan lay there, eyes closed, face as pale as paper, completely unconscious.

quiet!
Deathly silence!

Before the city gate, in the sky, the expressions on the faces of all the onlookers from the ancient tribe froze instantly.

The shouts and drumbeats abruptly stopped.

Ling Quan, an eight-star Dou Zong level expert and the seventh commander of the Black Annihilation Army, couldn't even withstand a single glance from the other party.
No one even saw what methods Xiao Bai used!
Is it a soul attack? Or some kind of strange eye technique?

An indescribable chill crept into the hearts of many.

They finally realized.
The boy in front of them, whom they regarded as "a border boy who was lucky enough to win Miss Xun'er's favor," seemed to be more than he imagined, completely different from what they had imagined!
But this collective silence only lasted a very short time.

What followed was a collective outburst of anger, like a volcanic eruption!
humiliation!

This is a blatant and undisguised humiliation!

No matter how incompetent Lingquan is, he is still a member of the ancient clan and the commander of the Black Annihilation Army!

Xiao Bai's actions were tantamount to slapping them hard across the face in front of the Ancient Saint City.

That guy didn't even seem too lazy to say a decent polite word!
"Bastard!"

"presumptuous!"

"How dare he use such a heavy hand!"

"Let's all attack and teach him a lesson!"

Countless young people from the ancient clans had flushed crimson, their eyes burning with fury. Uncontrollably, their boundless battle aura surged from their bodies, causing the energy of the sky to fluctuate violently. The crowd was enraged, poised to swarm forward.

However, despite their anger, no one dared to be the first to rush forward.

Lingquan, with his cultivation at the Eight-Star Dou Zong level, was already considered quite skilled among them, yet he ended up in such a state.

Many of them felt that their strength was not as good as Lingquan's, so wouldn't going up there be humiliating?

For a moment, the scene became extremely awkward. Angry roars resounded, but no one dared to take a step forward. They could only stare with fiery eyes at the black-robed youth on the bow of the ship, who remained calm and composed.

On the warship, Xiao Yan shook his head, his tone tinged with pity:

"Why bother? The gap is so big, why make yourself uncomfortable by coming closer to it?"

He felt that these ancient tribesmen were like clueless young men who had heard too many heroic tales, completely unaware of what kind of being was standing in front of them.

Lei Zhen, Huo Zhi, and the others also wore strange expressions. Lei Zhen muttered to himself:
"Aren't these people from the ancient clans far too out of touch? Is their understanding of Xiao Bai still stuck in the Black Corner Region or Canaan Academy from a few years ago? Do they think a mere Dou Zong can hold his own against him?"

Just as anger and embarrassment intertwined, and the situation was about to reach a stalemate or even slide into a collective silence that the ancient tribe's youth would rather not see—

"enough!"

A cold shout, like a thunderclap, instantly silenced all the noise.

The crowd parted like a tide, and a figure slowly walked out.

This person was dressed in a silver robe, with a somewhat effeminate face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his aura was far more powerful and majestic than that of Ling Quan before.

"It's Commander Yang Hao!"

"The Third Commander of the Black Annihilation Army has arrived!"

"Great! Brother Yang Hao, quickly teach this arrogant fool a lesson!"

Upon recognizing this person, the surrounding young members of the ancient clan immediately felt as if they had found their pillar of support, bursting into enthusiastic cheers and drumming noises, as if they could already see Xiao Bai being brutally trampled underfoot.

Yang Hao's icy gaze swept over the unconscious Ling Quan on the ground, a flash of anger in his eyes. He then looked up at Xiao Bai at the bow of the ship and said coldly:

"Xiao Bai, is it? This is the Ancient Holy City, not a place where you can run wild! You injured my Black Annihilation Army commander. If I don't teach you a lesson today, what face will my Ancient Clan have left?"

With a single step, he unleashed a powerful aura, creating a formidable pressure that attempted to intimidate Xiao Bai.

However, despite his imposing aura, Xiao Bai didn't even flinch.

His gaze was calm and indifferent, even carrying a hint of... boredom?
"again."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead and whispered to Lei Zhen beside him:
"Brother Lei Zhen, are all people of your ancient race so... straightforward?"

He felt that "stubborn" might be a more accurate description.

Lei Zhen's lips twitched, and he said helplessly:
“Brother Xiao’s situation is special. Moreover, the ancient clans have indeed been quite detached in recent years.”

He stammered and thought for a long time before finally coming up with this reason, which he could only barely accept.

He roared in his heart:

Damn it, who knew that this Brother Xiao I knew was so cunning, hiding his cultivation level to fish for others.

For some reason, those guys from the ancient clans acted all arrogant and didn't take Xiao Bai seriously at all. What could he do?
I'm so angry!
On the other side, Yang Hao saw that the man at the bow of the boat was ignoring his words and his imposing manner, and seemed to have no interest in talking to him at all, which fueled his anger.

Without another word, he formed a hand seal, and a burst of brilliant silver light erupted:
"Open the Mountain Seal!"

"Turn the sea seal!"

"Earth-Covering Seal!"

A gigantic energy hand, wreathed in a chilling aura, pierced through the void and pressed down fiercely on Xiao Bai!

This attack was far more powerful than Lingquan's offensive, causing many onlookers to change color.

Ancient clan-inherited fighting techniques!

Moreover, Commander Yang Hao had actually cultivated to the point of three seals stacked together, and his power was fully revealed at this moment.

Everyone held their breath, eager to see how Xiao Bai would be defeated by this palm strike.

Faced with that enormous hand capable of easily crushing a mountain, the guy on the ship finally...
Moved!

Just as they were getting excited and preparing to see him make a fool of himself...
In a flash.

They witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Xiao Bai casually raised his right hand, and then...
He waved his hand lightly in the air at the menacing Yang Hao.

The movement was so light and effortless, like brushing a speck of dust off a sleeve.

There was no grand fanfare, no dazzling light.

but--

Snapped!
A crisp, even somewhat loud, slapping sound clearly reached everyone's ears!

Immediately afterward, Yang Hao, who was fully unleashing his fighting techniques and hand seals, froze his cold and murderous expression, replaced by utter astonishment and disbelief.

He felt as if he had been struck head-on by an invisible, ancient mountain. His protective battle aura shattered like paper, and the enormous palm print he had condensed instantly dissipated!
"Pfft——!"

Blood mixed with a few teeth spurted from his mouth. Yang Hao's body was completely out of control, like a tattered sack that had been violently flung away, tracing a pathetic arc in the air.

Under the stunned gazes of all the young people of the ancient tribe, it crashed with a thud at the foot of the distant city wall, kicking up a cloud of dust, following in the footsteps of Lingquan, its fate unknown.

Another move!
No, it's not even a move, just a simple wave of the hand!

The three commanders of the Black Annihilation Army, who were three-star Dou Zun, were defeated even more decisively and humiliatingly than Ling Quan!

If Lingquan's defeat was shocking and infuriating, then Yang Hao's crushing defeat brought a chilling and deathly silence.

"Fancy and flashy, but utterly useless!"

The man finally spoke!
However, faced with these humiliating words, no one dared to shout as they had before.

All the cheers and drumming noises vanished without a trace once again.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped, as if someone had choked them, rendering them unable to utter a sound.

Their faces stung, as if the slap had landed on each of them.

A faint sense of fear crept into their hearts like vines.

Just what kind of monster is Xiao Bai?!
Didn't they say before that he was just a peak Dou Zong?

Why does it look like he's beating up a child when he's beating up Yang Hao, a three-star Dou Zun?
Xiao Yan shook his head with pity. Lei Zhen, speechless, covered his forehead, confirming the strange feeling he had been harboring:

These young people from the ancient clans have a huge misunderstanding and gap in their understanding of Xiao Bai's strength!
They have no idea what they are facing!
Just as this suffocating silence and terror were spreading—

In a certain space above the ancient holy city, Xun'er smiled radiantly, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked down at the tall, black-robed figure at the bow of the ship.

"Are you happy that he beat up those little guys in the tribe like that?"

A magnetic voice softly sounded in her ear.

Upon hearing this voice, Xun'er's pretty face changed slightly. She quickly turned her head to look and saw a figure seemingly walking out of a mirror, with no ripples in the entire space.

"father?!"

The newcomer did not speak, but glanced at the scene below, paused on Xiao Bai, and then looked at a certain spot on the giant ship, remaining silent to himself.

What a heartless bastard!
He then withdrew his gaze, looked at his own maid, and gave a soft snort:

"You've completely swayed yourself. You had Tongxuan keep it a secret for you and issued a gag order to the Black Annihilation Army soldiers who follow you, forbidding them from revealing this kid's cultivation level. You did this to deal with this situation, didn't you?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were darting away, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

She didn't seem to care about her father as much as she did about that boy!

"You're still saying that!"

Xun'er suddenly looked up, pouted in grievance, and said indignantly:

"On his first visit, those old guys didn't say a single kind word, but instead sent their clansmen to cause him trouble. What is this? Are they bullying him?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were unusually red, Gu Yuan felt a headache coming on.

"Gu Xun'er, why don't you open your eyes and see who's bullying whom right now?"

"In the tens of thousands of years of our clan's history, when have we ever allowed anyone to be so presumptuous in front of our ancestral city?"

He secretly felt a pang of pain in his teeth. If that kid hadn't been somewhat useful, he would have kicked him out long ago, and this whole scene wouldn't have happened.
Just as the father and daughter were arguing, they heard noises from below again.

"Another one who's blind to reason!" Xun'er glanced at him with her pretty eyes and snorted lightly.

".!" Gu Yuan.

boom!
An extremely powerful, sharp aura, carrying a chilling and desolate feeling, suddenly erupted from the direction of the ancient realm passage.

Like a ferocious beast suddenly awakening, it instantly dispelled the oppressive atmosphere, but also brought another kind of chilling pressure!

This aura was far stronger than Yang Hao's before, and even Lei Zhen, Huo Zhi and others changed color instantly, their eyes becoming extremely solemn.

"Such a powerful aura!" Lei Zhen suddenly looked up, his sharp gaze fixed on the direction from which the aura was coming.

A figure, shrouded in a dense aura of annihilation, appeared, like a grim reaper emerging from an icy prison, stepping slowly through the void.

With each step, the space beneath my feet seemed to freeze, then shatter and vanish into nothingness.

His face was cold and stern, his eyes devoid of any emotion, only a pure, icy, and persistent pursuit of ultimate power.

His gaze pierced through space, ignoring everyone else, and fixed intently on Xiao Bai at the bow of the ship.

"Ancient demon!"

Lei Zhen uttered a name in a low voice, his tone filled with apprehension.

One of the four great commanders of the ancient clan, a genius of unparalleled talent, a top prodigy with the qualifications to become the Black Annihilation King!

All eyes were focused on the figure that moved like an iceberg.

The young people of the ancient tribe seemed to have found hope again, and their eyes became eager once more.

The ancient demon's gaze collided with Xiao Bai's calm gaze in the air, as if invisible sparks were flying out.

A true battle between dragons and tigers seems about to erupt before this ancient holy city!
