Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 428 Ah Niu, Someone's Bullying Me
Flower Sect, Main Peak Plaza.

On a huge stone platform, Hua Jin, dressed in gorgeous clothes, raised her chin slightly, her face showing undisguised arrogance.

The stone platform was surrounded by a dense crowd of disciples and elders from the Flower Sect, creating a bustling atmosphere.

On the opposite side of the stone platform, Nalan Yanran stood alone, her pretty face frosty, confronting Hua Jin's side.

She gripped the sword hilt tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, her eyes filled with rage.

"Nephew Nalan, where is your teacher?"

Hua Jin's voice, tinged with a hint of sarcasm, carried clearly throughout the entire square.
"Sending a junior disciple like you here is because she's afraid to show herself? If that's the case, she should just admit defeat now."

A murmur arose from the audience, and many disciples who supported Hua Jin burst into laughter.

Nalan Yanran's chest heaved with anger as she coldly said:

"Teacher will be here in a moment! But you, after losing to Teacher last time, you tucked your tail between your legs, but today you've somehow gotten the guts to openly provoke the Sect Master!"

Hua Jin's face darkened when her sore spot was touched, but she quickly followed up with a cold laugh:

"Sect Leader? Does Yun Yun even deserve that title? She's just some wild woman who popped up out of nowhere, relying on her lucky break to inherit the old sect leader's legacy, and now she wants to usurp the position? I, Hua Jin, am the successor personally groomed by Granny Hua! This position of Sect Leader of the Flower Sect should rightfully belong to me!"

"If she still has any guts, let her come out quickly; if she doesn't dare, she should get out of the Flower Sect as soon as possible!"

"You!" Nalan Yanran was furious and was about to retort when she suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky.

At the same time, a clear and calm voice, like heavenly music, fell from the sky:
"Who says I don't dare to come?"

Before she could finish speaking, a streak of azure light flashed by and landed lightly on the stone platform, revealing Yun Yun's graceful and charming figure.

She was wearing an elegant long dress today, her face was still stunningly beautiful, and her expression was calm, but there was a faint chill in her eyes.

Her appearance immediately quieted down the noisy square.

Many elders and disciples breathed a slight sigh of relief, after all, Yun Yun was now the rightful sect leader, and her strength had already surpassed that of Hua Jin.

"Teacher!" Nalan Yanran exclaimed in surprise and quickly went to Yun Yun's side.

Yun Yun nodded slightly to her, reassuring her, then turned her gaze to Hua Jin, her eyes indifferent:

"Hua Jin, for the sake of my mother-in-law, I have yielded to you several times, but you have taken advantage of my kindness. Do you really think I have a good temper?"

When Hua Jin saw Yun Yun appear, a fleeting hint of joy flashed in her eyes, which was quickly replaced by intense resentment.

"Yun Yun, stop pretending. Today, I will take back everything that belongs to me in front of all the disciples of the Flower Sect!"

At this moment, an uncontrollable fire of jealousy was rising in her heart. It was this woman in front of her who had taken away everything that should have belonged to her.

That old woman's lifelong fighting spirit, the sect leader's prestigious position, and the awe of everyone!

Today, she is determined to crush them completely under her feet!

"What do you want?" Yun Yun glanced at her indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Hua Jin suppressed her killing intent and deliberately used a provocative tone to raise her voice:
"Today, right here, in front of all the disciples, we will settle this matter of who will become the sect leader! The victor will be the leader of the Flower Sect, and the loser..."

A ruthless glint flashed in Hua Jin's eyes:

"The loser must not only relinquish the position of sect leader, but also hand over all the battle qi inherited from the old sect leader, get out of the Flower Sect, and never set foot here again!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

This bet is far too cruel!
Not only do they want to seize the throne, but they also want to cripple people's cultivation. This is practically cutting off their escape route!

Nalan Yanran immediately rebuked:
"Hua Jin! Have you no shame? This bet is so unfair! If you win, you'll have to take her place and cripple your cultivation; if you lose, is it really that easy to just respect your teacher as the sect leader? You should respect her as the sect leader from the start! This bet of yours is nothing but robbery logic!"

Hua Jin completely ignored Nalan Yanran's questioning, and just stared at Yun Yun, continuing to provoke her:
"What? Sect Master Yun Yun, you are a dignified five-star Dou Zun, are you afraid of me, a four-star Dou Zun? If you are not, it is not too late to admit defeat now!"

Her words were extremely sarcastic, as if Yun Yun's refusal to agree meant she was cowardly and afraid to fight, relying on her high cultivation level but not daring to fight fairly.

Nalan Yanran was so angry that she was about to retort, but Yun Yun gently raised her hand to stop her.

Yun Yun's gaze remained calm. Looking at Hua Jin's impatient face, she already understood that the other party must have something to rely on today.

She spoke slowly, her voice clear and melodious: "Okay, I promise you."

Upon hearing this, Hua Jin was overjoyed, and the triumphant smile in her eyes was almost impossible to conceal.

She glanced in a certain direction instinctively, but that one glance almost made her faint with anger.

Her 'reliant' gaze was almost glued to Yun Yun, her eyes revealing undisguised greed and amazement.

This ignited a surge of jealousy within Hua Jin, almost driving her to madness. She suddenly shouted:

"You fiend! What are you waiting for? Join me in this attack!"

She then looked at Yun Yun, a fake smug smile on her face, and said loudly:

"Yun Yun, according to the rules of my Flower Sect, partners can fight together. If you also have a partner, feel free to call them out to join the fray! Otherwise, people will say that I, Hua Jin, am bullying you because of our numbers!"

Upon hearing this, some of the elders and disciples below the stage, who had previously been confused, suddenly understood.

It turns out that Hua Jin's confidence today comes from this evil flower lord!

Two against one, no wonder she dares to be so arrogant!
However, upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran was stunned for a moment, and then almost burst out laughing.

Should we call the gentleman over?
She looked at Hua Jin and the Demon Flower Evil Lord with a strange gaze, her eyes even carrying a hint of... pity?

Yun Yun was also slightly taken aback, then a very subtle, playful smile appeared on her lips.

Should we call her husband over?
These two must be old folks who hanged themselves, tired of living!

Seeing Yun Yun remain silent, Hua Jin assumed she was speechless or simply couldn't find a suitable partner, and felt even more pleased, saying smugly:
"What? Can't find anyone? Well, I guess someone like you..."

Before she could finish her sarcastic remark, Yun Yun suddenly interrupted her, her voice calm yet carrying a kind of indifference that made Hua Jin inexplicably uneasy:
"Are you sure you want me to call him to come along?"

Hua Jin's laughter faltered, and she looked at Yun Yun with some surprise.

She hadn't expected Yun Yun to actually respond to that. Did she really have a partner?
But then I thought about it again. This woman was supposedly the sect leader of a small sect in a remote place. What powerful people could she possibly know?
Compared to Yao Lang, they're nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs!
"Of course!"

Hua Jin made up her mind and sneered, "If you have the guts, then call them over! So you won't be dissatisfied if you lose!"

Upon seeing this, Yun Yun suddenly smiled sweetly.

The sudden burst of beauty was like a rare orchid blooming in a secluded valley, breathtakingly beautiful, leaving many in awe and intensifying the greed in the eyes of the evil flower lord.

She raised her fair, delicate neck, gazing into a certain corner of the void, her expression carrying a touch of girlish charm and dependence, and softly called out:
"Ah Niu, someone is bullying me."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

This sudden call, so different from her usual aloof demeanor, startled everyone.

Hua Jin scoffed, "Playing tricks! You think..."

Her laughter stopped abruptly!

Because at the very moment Yunyun finished speaking—

An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended like a towering mountain, or like a vast ocean instantly engulfing the entire Flower Sect Square!

"Plop!" "Plop!"

In an instant, almost all the disciples in the square, and even some of the weaker elders, lost control and collapsed to their knees!

Hua Jin's smugness and mockery froze completely. Her face turned deathly pale, and her bones groaned under the strain. Even breathing became extremely difficult. She felt as if her heart was being gripped by an icy hand, almost stopping its beating. The Dou Zun experts of the Hua Sect could still barely stand, but their bodies trembled violently. The flow of their Dou Qi became incredibly sluggish, and their faces were filled with endless horror and fear!
The demonic flower lord beside her changed his expression drastically. His sinister and composed demeanor vanished, replaced by extreme solemnity and a hint of... inexplicable surprise!

This oppressive aura... far surpassed any Dou Zun he knew!
The Flower Sect's Grand Elder, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, attempting to mediate, suddenly opened her eyes, her old face filled with horror. Suppressing the suffocating pressure, she hurriedly gathered her battle qi and, her voice trembling, shouted towards the sky:

"May we ask which senior has graced our Flower Sect with their presence? If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us! We humbly beg you to spare our wrath for the sake of the two immortals of the Flower Sect, Qinghua!"

Her voice sounded so small and powerless under the terrifying pressure.

Hua Jin's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

She couldn't believe that Yun Yun's casual call had actually summoned such a terrifying being!
Cold sweat beaded on the forehead of the Demon Flower Evil Lord as he desperately resisted the omnipresent pressure. He had originally thought that coming to the Flower Sect to help Hua Jin seize the position of sect leader would be a simple matter of lifting a finger.

Who would have thought that the woman from what Hua Jin described as a small town would have such a background!
In this deathly silence and oppressive atmosphere, the space in the center of the square began to ripple slowly like water.

The next moment, a figure silently stepped out from among them.

The newcomer was dressed in a simple black robe, with a tall and straight figure, and a face with distinct features, exuding an indescribable composure and majesty.

His black hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his eyes were as deep as the starry sky. He simply stood there, yet he seemed to become the center of the world.

The terrifying pressure that filled the square originated from him!

His gaze slowly swept across the entire room, and everyone whose eyes met his felt their souls tremble, lowering their heads and not daring to meet his gaze.

Finally, the gaze settled on Hua Jin, who was trembling all over, and on the Demon Flower Evil Lord, whose eyes were filled with doubt and suspicion.

When the Demon Flower Evil Lord saw the face of the newcomer, he was slightly taken aback, as if recalling something. After a moment, he seemed to remember something.

Is it him? !
The Ancient Celestial Serpent's Small World!
That mysterious powerhouse who toyed with the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's experts and the Soul Hall Elder, and stole the soul of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent!
"It's...it's you?! Xiao Bai?!"

boom--

This name, like a thunderclap, exploded in the deathly silent square, and stirred up a tidal wave in the hearts of all the Flower Sect elders and disciples!

When Hua Jin heard the name "Xiao Bai," her eyes widened so much they almost popped out.

Xiao Bai?!
That fiend who single-handedly destroyed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Ice River Valley, and founded the Purple Cloud Palace?!

He...he's actually Yun Yun's...partner?!

Sensing the immense pressure emanating from him, which even surpassed that of Granny Hua at her peak, he instantly realized that this person was definitely not a Dou Zun!
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the young man in black robes, then at Yun Yun beside him, who had a smile in her eyes.

A bone-chilling cold instantly surged from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, freezing all her pride, arrogance, resentment, and jealousy into dust of despair.

She just now had the audacity to tell someone to call their partner to join them?

Hua Jin felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, the world spinning around her, as if the whole world had collapsed before her.

Xiao Bai's indifferent gaze lingered on Hua Jin and Yao Hua Xie Jun for a moment. His gaze wasn't particularly sharp, but it made the two of them feel as if they were being stared at by a prehistoric beast, their blood freezing.

"Xiao Bai... no, Palace Master Xiao, I am from the Tianming Sect. This is all because of this foolish woman, it has nothing to do with me. Please, for the sake of the Tianming Sect..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Bai's calm voice:
"How does the Heavenly Nether Sect compare to the Soul Palace and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan?"

The Demon Flower Evil Lord was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed completely. He instantly understood Xiao Bai's meaning. He dared to take action against the Nine Netherworld Python and the Soul Palace back then, so what was the Heavenly Nether Sect?
"Since you proposed the competition, let's begin!"

As soon as Xiao Bai finished speaking, the world suddenly lost its color.

"Boom!!!"

High in the sky, thunderclouds appeared out of nowhere, gathering wildly, and deafening roars of thunder resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The dazzling golden and black lightning intertwined and flashed, and the destructive energy fluctuations swept out like a tsunami, making the entire Flower Sect Mountain Range tremble.

The Demon Flower Evil Lord was terrified. Faced with the power of heaven and earth, he felt as insignificant as an ant!
All that talk about the Heavenly Nether Sect's background and the plan to annex the Flower Sect has become a joke!

Hua Jin, who was beside him, couldn't even let out a complete scream. Under that irresistible pressure, the fighting spirit in her body was completely suppressed, and all that was left in her eyes was boundless fear and regret.

This isn't a competition, it's a crushing defeat!

"No, we don't accept it. Waaah!"

Just as the Demon Flower Evil Lord was about to admit defeat, he suddenly felt his mouth being sealed shut. His face turned deathly pale, and he looked at Xiao Bai in disbelief.

"Crack!"

A thick bolt of golden and black lightning, as thick as a mountain, tore through the sky, carrying a majestic heavenly power, and fiercely struck down towards Hua Jin and the Demon Flower Evil Lord on the stone platform.

"Do not--!"

Hua Jin let out a desperate shriek, while the Demon Flower Evil Lord's eyes widened in fury.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Huazong Mountain Range, and dazzling lightning instantly engulfed the entire stone platform, causing everyone to be temporarily blinded and deafened.

The raging lightning energy swept outwards like a tsunami, but was firmly bound within the stone platform by an invisible force, failing to affect anyone below.

Lightning flashed continuously, and the crackling sound of electricity sent chills down one's spine.

As the blinding light gradually dissipated and everyone could barely see, they all gasped in shock, their bodies turning ice-cold.

The massive stone platform had vanished, leaving only a bottomless, charred crater in its place. Golden arcs of electricity and black lightning flickered and danced at its edges, emanating a chilling aura of destruction.

And just moments ago, Hua Jin was all arrogant and domineering, along with the Demon Flower Evil Lord...

It has completely disappeared!

Not even a speck of ash remained!

The entire Huazong Square was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All the elders and disciples stood frozen in place, their faces pale, staring at the deep pit and the black-robed figure in the air, their eyes filled with boundless awe and fear.

Some elders who had secretly favored Hua Jin were now trembling with fear, their robes soaked with cold sweat, terrified that the gaze would fall upon them at any moment.

Nalan Yanran watched this scene with her mouth slightly open, her eyes also filled with shock.

She knew her husband was strong, but she never expected him to be this strong. Two Dou Zun, one of whom was a six-star Dou Zun, were actually... were blasted into nothingness by a casual bolt of lightning.
Looking at the calm profile of the man beside her, Yun Yun felt an indescribable sense of peace and warmth welling up in her heart.

She knew that Xiao Bai was backing her up.

"Alas, was it all too late?"

"Hmph, he only has himself to blame!"

Just then, the void rippled, and four figures emerged, their expressions varying as they looked at the devastated square.

"Mother-in-law."

Yun Yun looked at Hua Yu, who had been resurrected, and her beautiful eyes lit up. But seeing the complicated expression on Hua Yu's face, she pursed her lips and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

It's not your fault.

Hua Yu withdrew her gaze, shook her head at Yun Yun, and then her eyes fell on Xiao Bai, a look of shock rising in her eyes.

But Xiao Bai didn't look at her. His gaze was instead fixed on the figure beside her, a woman in a white dress whose white hair had turned black.

"Xian'er!"
