Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 218: Terrifying Power, The Twin Dragons Retreat

A dazzling explosion of red, blue, and white lightning and fire erupted in the azure sky, spreading like waves of flame that swept across the heavens. In an instant, the temperature of the area skyrocketed.

In the Imperial Capital, countless people stood dumbfounded, staring in the direction of Yunlan Mountain. Even though it was miles away, the terrifying waves of fire rolling through the sky still sent shivers down their spines.

The vast city was eerily silent. Everyone swallowed nervously, their mouths dry, as a chill of fear spread from deep within their hearts.

At that moment, atop Yunlan Mountain, all the buildings of the Yunlan Sect were instantly reduced to dust under the terrifying electrical firestorm.

"So this is the destructive power of a Dou Zong (Battle Sect) expert? Truly terrifying..." many people shuddered and groaned helplessly in their hearts.

In the azure sky, the waves of lightning and fire rippled outward like shockwaves. Centered around the explosion point, all life within the surrounding area was obliterated.

The electrical firestorm spread out to a distance of nearly a thousand meters before gradually dissipating. In the sky, Mo Yu and Protector Wu both appeared extremely battered.

Protector Wu, who had been surrounded by sinister black mist before, had been closest to the Thunder God's Fire Lotus and suffered the most intense impact.

In the devastating electrical firestorm, most of the eerie black mist that had enveloped Protector Wu was completely dispersed. Fresh blood seeped from his shattered black armor, falling like raindrops.

Beneath the broken armor, several horrifying wounds, visible to the naked eye, stretched across his entire back, and one could vaguely see his white bones.

At this moment, the mocking expression on Protector Wu's face was gone, replaced by pure terror. His once proud and arrogant demeanor had vanished, leaving behind only a wretched and pitiful figure.

In the distance, a white shield entwined with delicate white light slowly cracked and fell apart, revealing a familiar face—Yun Shan.

Yun Shan's face was extremely gloomy, with traces of blood at the corners of his mouth. Wiping away the blood, his hand trembled involuntarily.

Behind him, several Yunlan Sect disciples and elders who hadn't managed to escape in time barely survived under his protection.

In the terrifying explosion just moments before, Yun Shan had exhausted all his strength to create a shelter in that brief moment.

"Damn it! Hundreds of years of Yunlan Sect's accumulation, all destroyed in an instant!"

Yun Shan glanced around, and when he saw the Yunlan Sect lying in ruins, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. This was the accumulated wealth of seven generations of Sect Leaders, now obliterated.

Not only had the sect's immense wealth been destroyed, but so had the countless martial arts and fighting techniques painstakingly collected by generations of leaders. Now, it was all gone!

What pained him the most, however, was the significant loss of lives within the sect. Although he had ordered Yun Yun to lead the disciples to evacuate early on, due to time constraints, half of the disciples still perished in the explosion.

Every sect's foundation lies in its loyal disciples. Elders can be trained again, but if all the disciples die, the Yunlan Sect would collapse.

Mo Yu's attack ensured that Yunlan Sect wouldn't recover for at least ten years!

With blood dripping from his heart, Yun Shan's eyes turned vicious as they scanned the sky, finally landing on Mo Yu, who was also gravely injured.

At that moment, Mo Yu's body was nearly half-exposed, his green robe mostly destroyed. Even the Heart of the Sea Armor, a gift from Yun Zhi, had cracked, and pieces of light blue armor fragments floated down, revealing his scorched red skin beneath.

Xiao Yan, ignoring his own battered state, flashed to Mo Yu's side, still shaken by what had just happened. Concerned, he asked, "Cousin Mo Yu, are you alright?"

The power of the two types of heavenly flames combined with the mystic thunder was far more terrifying than Xiao Yan had expected.

What surprised him even more was that Mo Yu was able to fuse the heavenly flames and mystic thunder together. The level of control this required over one's soul was truly terrifying.

"I'm fine." Mo Yu waved his hand, coughing lightly. He wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly.

The power of the Thunder God's Fire Lotus had exceeded his expectations. If not for the Heart of the Sea Armor gifted by Yun Yun and Uncle Snake's timely assistance with his bloodline energy, Mo Yu might have been killed by his own attack.

However, the price paid was worth it. Glancing up, he saw that Protector Wu was in far worse shape.

Not only was his body severely injured, but his aura had also weakened considerably. Perhaps due to the backlash from devouring souls, Protector Wu's expression had turned crazed, and his aura was erratic and unstable.

"Cousin, should we take this chance to kill Protector Wu?" Xiao Yan's black eyes gleamed with anticipation as he asked eagerly.

Hearing this, Mo Yu's heart stirred, but he shook his head. "Forget it. Although he's seriously injured, his methods are mysterious. If he has any hidden cards left, we'd be in danger. Let's leave this place for now. The Yunlan Sect won't escape. We can always come back for revenge once we're stronger."

Without the help of Uncle Snake and Master Yao, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, along with the Medusa Queen, would still struggle to defeat Yun Shan and the injured Protector Wu.

Moreover, Protector Wu's appearance had been an unexpected twist. Who knew if the Jia Ma Empire was hiding more Soul Hall protectors? Although the chances were slim, Mo Yu didn't want to take that risk.

Hearing Mo Yu's words, the naturally cautious Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. While his hatred for Yunlan Sect was as deep as Mo Yu's, he understood that now wasn't the time to destroy the sect completely.

Having made up their minds, neither Mo Yu nor Xiao Yan hesitated. While the Yunlan Sect was still recovering from the aftershock of the explosion and while Protector Wu was severely injured, Xiao Yan unfurled his twin-colored flame wings, and Mo Yu summoned his crimson Purple Cloud Wings. Together, they shot off like meteors into the dense forest far below.

Before leaving, Mo Yu cast a deep glance at Yun Yun. Feeling the Heart of the Sea Armor on his body, he let out a barely audible sigh. After today, it might be a long time before they met again.

At the same time, as if sensing his gaze, Yun Yun reflexively looked back. Biting her lip, she stared at his departing figure. Her beautiful eyes reflected a complex emotion, and for a moment, she stood frozen in place.

"Yun Shan, I, the Twin Dragons of the Xiao Clan, will never forget this blood feud. One day, we will return and take vengeance tenfold!"

As their figures disappeared into the deep mountains, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's chilling laughter echoed in the air. The killing intent hidden within that laughter sent shivers down the spines of the Yunlan Sect members.

"How dare they!"

Yun Shan's face turned ashen as he stared at the spot where Mo Yu and Xiao Yan had vanished. He was just about to give chase when the Medusa Queen suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

Seeing this, Yun Shan's face darkened, and with a wave of his hand, he issued a cold command that echoed throughout the sect.

"All Yunlan Sect deacons and elders, lead a team into the mountains immediately. Find the Twin Dragons of the Xiao Clan! Announce to the entire empire: anyone who provides information about the Twin Dragons will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins. Whoever captures them will be granted the position of Yunlan Sect elder!"

"Dead or alive!"
