Chapter 1686 (Raw 1698): Saber's Final Battle

One bright and one dark represented two geniuses of the lightning attribute having an invisible clash.

No one expected that Xiao Chen, an outsider, could also draw in one hundred lightning bolts in the Thunder Flame Plaza and light up the place.

This was equivalent to declaring war on Shangguan Lei. Everyone felt a terrifying aura fill the place.

"This is bad. Shangguan Lei is angry!"

"This white-clad person is very bold. To think that he dares to clash head-on with Shangguan Lei in the Thunder Flame Plaza!"

Everyone present was shocked. Originally, they thought that with Shangguan Lei's strong aura and pressure, Xiao Chen would crumble.

Who would have imagined that Xiao Chen would not only manage to endure it but even return it all?

This resulted in an invisible clash, a situation where they competed against each other.

Shangguan Lei revealed a cold smile. An indistinct killing Qi spread out. Instantly, everyone felt a chill crawling through their bodies.

Hua Yunfeng thought to himself, This is bad. However, when he wanted to make a move to stop this confrontation, he found that it was already too late.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen and Shangguan Lei, who were clashing against each other, unleashed their Thunder Domains.

"Rumble…!"

Resplendent electric light burst forth from the two. Countless electrical arcs flickered on their bodies, crackling endlessly.

An invisible electric force field spread out about the ground in all directions.

"Retreat!"

Hua Yunfeng's group, which was behind Xiao Chen, retreated quickly. At this moment, the six could no longer interfere. Otherwise, they would suffer attacks from both Thunder Domains.

The consequences would be dire. Even Hua Yunfeng would find this hard to bear. Of course, he would not take such a risk.

When it came to one's interests, one would be very practical. It was not a problem to help care for Xiao Chen, but once it went beyond their capabilities, it would not be worth risking their lives.

At the least, in Hua Yunfeng's opinion, Xiao Chen was not worth putting in his full effort to help.

The true inheritors of the various sects showed grave expressions. At this moment, they all stood up, clearly shocked.

However, there was one person that was even more shocked: Shangguan Lei himself!

A half-step Primal Core fellow actually clashed with Shangguan Lei in the Thunder Dao and did not immediately get defeated.

"Interesting. Let's see how long you can last!" Shangguan Lei roared. He endured Xiao Chen's Thunder Domain and forcibly stepped forward, throwing a palm strike.

This palm strike did not make use of Shangguan Lei's cultivation. He channeled only his lightning-attributed energy to deal with Xiao Chen. He did not believe that his own Thunder Dao could not suppress the other party.

"Boom!"

That supreme tribulation lightning in the sky sent out one thousand lightning bolts together with Shangguan Lei's palm strike.

With a thought from Shangguan Lei, the one thousand lightning bolts coalesced into a lightning ferocious beast. It bared its claws and fangs, covering up half the sky.

The might of this palm strike caused the sky to change color. The wind blew and clouds surged, bringing huge pressure.

Shangguan Lei used only his cultivation of the Thunder Dao, yet the strength that he showed was already so terrifying. Everyone felt a deep fear in their hearts.

Shangguan Lei truly lived up to being the strongest true inheritor of the Black Cave Mountain. With such strength, no one here could compete with him.

Xiao Chen felt unprecedented pressure. Then, the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation started circulating wildly in his body.

The Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning in his sea of consciousness gave off a bright light, eager to take action. He felt that he could not suppress it for much longer.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Chen did his best to restrain the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning. Then, he drew out a portion of the lightning tribulation's power, an amount that he could completely control.

Xiao Chen countered with a palm strike. Likewise, one thousand lightning bolts plunged from the sky, shocking everyone.

The electric light gathered into a roaring flood dragon. When it faced the lightning ferocious beast that Shangguan Lei materialized, it did not show any fear.

One lightning flood dragon and one lightning ferocious beast. Each of them covered one side of the sky, engulfing the entire plaza in berserk lightning.

"Bang!"

The two palms met, and the two men formally clashed. 

A resplendent, dazzling, and piercing white light burst out between the two palms.

The berserk lightning-attributed energy kicked up a boundless wind. Uncontrollable strands of lightning-attributed energy crackled wildly in the plaza.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Aside from the ancient stone pillars, which had long stood in the Thunder Flame Plaza, everything else shattered, blasted to smithereens.

The true inheritors of the various sects all raised Veritable Essence Energy shields immediately as if they faced a great enemy.

When the electric light gradually faded away, two figures stood amid the boundless dust.

Everyone was shocked to discover that Xiao Chen had not taken a single step back, but Shangguan Lei had.

"That's impossible!"

When competing in the Thunder Dao at the plaza of Thunder Controlling Peak, Xiao Chen had actually knocked Shangguan Lei back in the earlier exchange of palm strikes.

Shangguan Lei's expression turned sullen. Due to his strong cultivation, he was not injured, but he could not accept that Xiao Chen's Thunder Dao was stronger than his.

Xiao Chen paled, and some blood leaked out of a corner of his lips. Although he defeated the other party, it had been almost unbearable. Shangguan Lei's Thunder Dao was exceptionally tyrannical and ferocious.

If not for Xiao Chen having a good foundation with a physique comparable to a Major Primal Core Venerate's, that earlier palm strike exchange would have half killed him.

Cultivation…what he lacked was still cultivation! 

If Xiao Chen's cultivation were the same as the other party, the outcome would not have been just a step back; the other party would have instantly gotten knocked into the air.

"Shangguan Lei, what are you trying to do? If you want an opponent, just seek me out. Why the need to bully a half-step Primal Core cultivator?" Just at this moment, Hua Yunfeng's cold voice rang out.

Hua Yunfeng could no longer bear to watch this. Based on Shangguan Lei's expression, it looked like he was truly going to attack.

That was Hua Yunfeng's bottom line. He absolutely could not just watch as the other party made a move on Xiao Chen.

Hua Yunfeng was very clear on how strong Shangguan Lei was. Shangguan Lei had only wanted to show off his Thunder Dao cultivation earlier. There were still his Wind Dao, his late-stage Major Primal Core cultivation, and his scary skills with the saber that had not been used yet.

If Shangguan Lei attacked at full force, with Xiao Chen's current cultivation, Xiao Chen would be no match for him.

Shangguan Lei smiled coldly. "Humph! Don't worry. I, Shangguan Lei, still have not fallen to the point of making things difficult for a half-step Primal Core cultivator. However, there are some things that need to be dealt with today. He interfered with my junior brother's duel, which was wrong.

"If I, Shangguan Lei, do not help my junior brother seek justice, doesn't that mean that just anyone can come and bully the disciples of the Thunder Saber Xiang Tian's line?"

The true inheritors of the various sects discussed in whispers. Given this, Shangguan Lei's words did indeed make sense.

Xiao Chen could not be bothered to rebut. He was not a three-year-old child. In this world, reason always belonged in the hands of the strong.

If he was strong enough, then he would be the one considered reasonable.

Hua Yunfeng looked pensive. "What do you want? Just speak your mind."

"Good. I was just waiting for you to say that. Get this fellow to have a proper battle with my junior brother. As long as he agrees, I will not make things difficult for him over this matter. I will also not make a move on him in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield."

The moment Shangguan Lei said that, Hua Yunfeng and Xiao Chen both revealed confused expressions. Could it be that Shangguan Lei did not know that Xiao Chen knocked back Feng Yu with one saber strike back then?

"Whoever loses will have to give up their rights to enter the Fiendish Demon Battlefield!"

Shangguan Lei added a bet with a grave expression.

"Xiao Chen, don't tell me that you do not even dare to accept this bet. If that is the case, you disappoint me too much."

Everyone let out startled cries. This wager seemed a little too big. After all, the Fiendish Demon Battlefield opened only once every twenty years.

Just a slight gain in there could change a person's life. If one could not enter, it would be too great a loss. These people had gathered here to discuss the matter of the Fiendish Demon Battlefield in the first place.

Xiao Chen said calmly, "If you insist on doing so, there is nothing I find unacceptable. I just have to defeat him again."

"Are you sure that you will definitely defeat me?"

"Whoosh!"

Just at this moment, a figure arrived from the sky. The Little Thunder Saber Feng Yu suddenly appeared and landed on top of a stone pillar.

When bathed in the light from the thunder flame, Feng Yu's expression appeared very stern. He gave off an atmosphere that made others feel he was unfathomable.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. The other party had broken through to the peak Minor Primal Core Realm. However, if the other party intended to rely on that to defeat him, it would still be difficult.

Hua Yunfeng's expression flickered as his gaze fell on the saber in Feng Yu's hand. "There is something wrong with that saber."

"Xiao Chen, use my saber."

A Purple Flame Sect true inheritor took out his saber, wanting to hand it to Xiao Chen.

That disciple's saber was a Superior Grade Treasure Tool forged from divine material. It was incredibly sharp and had many other effects.

"Thank you, but there is no need."

Xiao Chen rejected the other party's aid. Then, he leaped into the air and landed on a stone pillar, facing the Little Thunder Saber Feng Yu.

This was the Lunar Shadow Saber's final battle. How could he use another saber?
