Chapter 2901: Chapter 905: The Thunder Emperor’s Strength

If Ling Xiao wins this battle, the fickle nobles of the royal family will naturally pledge their allegiance to him.

But if Ling Xiao loses, they will naturally kick him while he is down.

And in their hearts, they still support the Thunder Emperor, the Great King of the Chen Dynasty, more.

“Could it be possible that the Thunder Emperor might also be killed by him? After all, this kid has already wiped out the Chen Country’s Five Elders, leaving only one alive!

He even destroyed the first genius, Chen Cangxiong.”

“Stop joking around. What kind of existence is the Thunder Emperor? He is someone qualified to enter the Emperor’s Forbidden Zone.

Ling Xiao should have stopped while he was ahead but instead chose to oppose the Thunder Emperor. He is bound to run into bad luck next.”

“Not necessarily. The Thunder Emperor isn’t invincible. Why can’t Ling Xiao defeat him?”

Among the crowd, there were supporters of the Thunder Emperor and naturally, supporters of Ling Xiao as well.

To this point, those on the side of the Thunder Emperor were mostly from the royal family and the nobles.

Those supporting Ling Xiao were mostly ordinary commoners.

“Humph, a bunch of lowly commoners. When the Thunder Emperor kills that kid, none of you will escape!”

“Afraid of you? A bunch of lazy nobles, what nonsense Thunder Emperor this is, Ling Xiao will surely take him down.”

The two sides were arguing fiercely, on the verge of fighting.

Boom!

At that moment, the Thunder Emperor’s eyes emitted two golden lightning bolts, like thunderclaps, striking down on the platform.

The shouting people were instantly silenced.

They looked fearfully at the platform.

Golden lightning flickered around the Thunder Emperor.

Even the sword in his hand pulsed with golden lightning.

That sword was the Sword of Kings used by Chen Cangxiong.

Now that the Thunder Emperor held it, he wielded it with clear proficiency.

Though Chen Cangxiong was talented, he didn’t have the same seasoned experience as the Thunder Emperor.

Ling Xiao could feel the entire platform was filled with tiny lightning sparks, enough to make his skin tingle.

“This Thunder Emperor is more formidable than I imagined, almost deceived by his earlier display.”

Ling Xiao felt alert.

He dared not underestimate him at all.

“Disciple, be cautious of this person, as your master senses an unusual aura within him that doesn’t match those golden lightning.”

The Yuan Venerate seemed to also sense something amiss, ceasing his slumber to specifically caution Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao understood that if it were not a serious matter, the Yuan Venerate would not manifest to speak.

“Understood, Master, I will be careful,” Ling Xiao assured.

He took a deep breath and then looked toward the Thunder Emperor, his body flickering with molten lava.

At last, he released his Volcanic Battle Body.

In his confrontation with Chen Cangxiong, he didn’t use it.

Blistering magma collided with golden lightning in the void.

Before the two engaged directly, they were already clashing.

It was a collision of aura, a duel of energy!

“You’re too arrogant, kid!”

Though initially uneasy, the Thunder Emperor now appeared extraordinarily calm and assertive.

He observed Ling Xiao coldly and said, “I always thought my opponent would be Chen Buyi!

Unexpectedly, the one standing on this battlefield with me is you, a mere child.

His disciple.

However, you are stronger than him; I must admit that.

But you are still not my match!”

“Let’s not waste words; let’s fight directly,”

Ling Xiao replied nonchalantly, “If I truly am arrogant, you may as well kill me. I won’t resent you even if I become a ghost; instead, I would thank you!”

“Young man, being confident is good, but being conceited is another matter.

You are destined to die from your own arrogance.”

The Thunder Emperor spoke, as a more terrifying aura surged from his body, wave upon wave, attacking Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao said no more, only coldly regarded the Thunder Emperor, his eyes solely filled with fighting intent.

Ling Xiao remained silent, and the Thunder Emperor also fell silent.

He stepped forward, suddenly unleashing a violent storm like an Array Formation Cannon at Ling Xiao.

The fearsome force lifted the stones on the platform into the air.

Yet, regardless of the flying debris, Ling Xiao stood firm, unflinching, focused on the Thunder Emperor.

He had made all necessary preparations, now the battle must commence.

No matter how strong the opponent may be, he would not back down.

“To think Ling Xiao remains so calm; it seems he is truly confident in his own strength.”

“Perhaps he’s just putting on a brave front!”

“We’ll find out soon; look, Ling Xiao is in motion!”

On the platform, Ling Xiao indeed moved.

He wielded the Demon Dragon Sword, easily destroying the strike as fierce as an Array Formation Cannon before directly attacking the Thunder Emperor.

Even his Tai Chi Eye couldn’t discern the Thunder Emperor’s true strength.

But Ling Xiao did not fear.

Even if this Thunder Emperor had inherited something terrifying.

Yet, in this brief period, he believed his own growth surpassed his opponent’s.

His confidence sprang from instincts honed through countless battles.

Not solely from the Tai Chi Eye.

Even without the Tai Chi Eye, he could sense if his opponent posed a mortal threat.

Beast Soul Transformation, Demon Dragon Possession, Volcanic Battle Body, Celestial Dragon Power, Divine Phoenix Power, White Tiger Power.

Including all Beast Souls that could enhance combat power, Ling Xiao displayed them fully.

He certainly did not underestimate his opponent!

“I hope you won’t disappoint me!

True Demon·Shadow Sword Demon!”

Enveloping the Demon Dragon Sword with menacing demonic qi, Ling Xiao immediately utilized the Shadow Sword Demon to probe the opponent’s strength.

The power of the Shadow Sword Demon naturally could not compare to the Black Immortal Descends and Demon Immortal Sword Shadow, but it required less inner strength.

And the speed of executing its move was swift.

A perfect method to gauge the opponent’s power.

“Demon Dragon Sword! Hmph, what of it? Back then, Chen Buyi rampaged in Thunder City wielding the Demon Dragon Sword, yet he ended up severely wounded by me, filled with regret as he could never enhance his cultivation level for life.

Your fate will be no better!”

Grasping the Sword of Kings, the kingly aura within the Thunder Emperor boiled.

The sword brimmed with an overwhelming and powerful aura, far beyond Chen Cangxiong’s reach.

This Sword of Kings originally belonged to the Thunder Emperor; he later passed it to Chen Cangxiong, hoping he could become the strongest in the Chen Dynasty.

But unfortunately, Ling Xiao’s sudden rise cost him this exceptionally gifted son.

He had no choice but to personally eliminate this threat.

All thought processes completed in an instant, not hindering the Thunder Emperor’s action.

He pierced out with the Sword of Kings, a formidable Sword Beam glimmering with brilliance, directed straight at Ling Xiao.

“King’s Sword Qi!”

The King’s Sword Qi was merely the inherent Sword Qi of the Sword of Kings, but if a martial artist’s strength was sufficient, it could be made even more powerful.

Previously, Chen Cangxiong also utilized the King’s Sword Qi.

The potent force compelled Ling Xiao to evade with the Magic Dragon Illusion Body Technique.

And this time, the same move executed by the Thunder Emperor exhibited several times the power.

The dazzling Sword Light, with its extreme terrifying force.

Ling Xiao dared not block it lightly.
