Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 94: The Power of the Mysterious Thunder

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Three-Star Magical Beast, Mo Yin and the others were momentarily stunned. What followed was a deep sense of shock and fear. A Three-Star Magical Beast, a creature typically found deep within the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, with power comparable to that of a Dou Shi (Battle Master), had somehow appeared in Qingshi Town.

As they stared in disbelief, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King flew over to Mo Yu, lowering its massive head as if it were a loyal guard. Mo Yin and the members of the Wolfhead Mercenary Group were left dumbfounded, their mouths agape in shock.

Could it be that this Three-Star Magical Beast was Mo Yu's battle pet?

On the Dou Qi Continent, acquiring a battle pet that could fight alongside its master was no easy task. Since there was no magical contract to bind them, forming such a bond required building a deep connection between the human and the beast. However, magical beasts were naturally aggressive creatures, and only a few fortunate individuals could win their friendship and, eventually, their loyalty.

For example, Little Doctor Fairy's Blue Eagle, a mere One-Star Magical Beast, had only become her companion after she saved its life several years ago. Even so, her Blue Eagle was still just a One-Star creature, whereas the beast before them was a powerful Three-Star.

They had no idea that Mo Yu, hailing from a different continent, possessed a complete method to contract magical beasts. He didn't need to rely on the complex process of building emotional bonds to gain the loyalty of such creatures.

Meanwhile, outside the Wolfhead Mercenary Group's courtyard, many mercenaries had gathered to watch the spectacle, including members of the other two major mercenary groups in Qingshi Town.

"Ka Gang, you've met Mo Yu before. Is this beast his battle pet?" The leader of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group asked, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at the powerful beast hovering above the Wolfhead Mercenary Group's headquarters.

Shaking his head, Ka Gang was equally shocked. "Mo Yu never mentioned having a battle pet. So this is why he was confident enough to storm the Wolfhead Mercenary Group."

Ling'er and the others, who had encountered Mo Yu before, were also stunned, their mouths hanging open in amazement. They realized now just how much they had underestimated him.

"Mo Yin, if you want to challenge me, you'll have to go through Zihuo first," Mo Yu said playfully as he patted the head of the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, which he had named Zihuo.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yin's face twitched. As a Dou Shi, he could sense that this beast was extraordinary, likely among the strongest of the Three-Star Magical Beasts. Even some Seven- or Eight-Star Dou Shi might struggle against it, let alone him with his severed arm.

"Don't get cocky, you brat!" Although Mo Yin didn't know how Mo Yu had managed to tame such a powerful beast, he knew that Mo Yu was still just one person. As long as he could get word back to his family, the Grand Elder would personally deal with this Three-Star beast, even if it meant using Dou Ling (Battle Spirit) level power.

Resolving to report this to his family, Mo Yin glared at Mo Yu with intense hatred. As one of his family's top assassins, being repeatedly thwarted by a mere Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner) was an unforgivable disgrace.

"Leader Mu, I'll handle the beast. You take care of Mo Yu!" Mo Yin ordered Mu She with a meaningful glance. He knew how dangerous Mo Yu could be, and even if Mu She was a Two-Star Dou Shi, he doubted that the entire Wolfhead Mercenary Group could take down Mo Yu on their own.

If Mo Yu and the beast teamed up, even he might not survive. Mo Yin had already experienced the terrifying strength of Mo Yu's powerful soul, which had left him at a loss. But he didn't care about the lives of these mercenaries; they were just cannon fodder to him.

Upon hearing Mo Yin's command, Mu She felt relieved. To him, the biggest threat was the Three-Star Magical Beast. Since Mo Yin was willing to handle it, the pressure on him lessened significantly. As for Mo Yu, despite his reputation for killing Gan Mu, a Nine-Star Dou Zhe, Mu She believed that Mo Yu's strength was at most that of a One-Star Dou Shi. With the entire Wolfhead Mercenary Group backing him, Mo Yu didn't stand a chance.

Once Mo Yu was dead, the beast would naturally leave.

Seeing Mu She's pleased expression, Mo Yin's eyes flashed with disdain. He then leaped forward, positioning himself in front of Zihuo.

"Brat, don't think that having a Three-Star Magical Beast makes you invincible!"

With that, a surge of powerful Dou Qi erupted from Mo Yin's body, enveloping him in a dark, formidable armor of Dou Qi.

"Zihuo, kill him!" Mo Yu commanded as he patted Zihuo's wing, his tone casual yet authoritative.

"Roar!"

In response to Mo Yu's order, Zihuo let out a deep, resonant roar that echoed throughout Qingshi Town. As the roar reverberated, the amethyst crystals on Zihuo's body began to glow, and in an instant, a torrent of purple flames erupted from its body, swirling violently.

"What a terrifying display," muttered the onlookers, wiping the sweat from their brows as they stared at Zihuo, their mouths dry with fear. As the offspring of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Zihuo might not have inherited its father's full power, but it was still among the strongest of the Three-Star Magical Beasts.

With a powerful flap of its wings, Zihuo, surrounded by intense purple flames, charged toward Mo Yin with lethal intent.

"Damn it!" Seeing the incoming flames, Mo Yin hastily formed shields of black Dou Qi, but they disintegrated like mist in sunlight the moment they touched Zihuo's purple flames.

"Damn it all!" Mo Yin cursed as he struggled against Zihuo's relentless assault. He turned to Mu She and the others, shouting, "What are you waiting for? Kill that brat now!"

"Attack! Kill him!" Mu She roared, pointing at Mo Yu, his voice filled with murderous intent. If they could kill Mo Yu quickly, the beast would lose its master and naturally leave.

As Mu She gave the order, the surrounding mercenaries tightened their grips on their weapons and charged at Mo Yu with a united cry, their expressions fierce.

Standing on the steps, Mu She watched coldly as Mo Yu remained calm amid the advancing mercenaries. Clenching his fists, he murmured, "No matter what, you have to die today!"

But just as the words left his mouth, a terrifying scene unfolded before his eyes. The moment the mercenaries were within ten meters of Mo Yu, a sudden crackling sound filled the air, followed by a flash of crimson lightning. The lightning, moving with blinding speed, spread throughout the courtyard in an instant.

The moment the lightning was released, every mercenary felt a wave of impending doom. Then, as if struck by a powerful electric shock, their bodies convulsed uncontrollably. Within a few seconds, the sound of bodies hitting the ground echoed through the courtyard. Except for Mu She, no one was left standing.

Nearly a hundred mercenaries, all defeated in a single strike.
