Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 347: Mulan Valley's Hidden Plan, A Familiar Face Appears

Zi Yan's early victory was undoubtedly a huge morale boost for Mo Yu's side. In contrast, the spirits of Mulan Valley and Yunlan Sect took a massive hit. The fact that the heir of Mulan Valley couldn't even defeat a young girl was nothing short of shocking.

Seeing this, the three Mulan Elders grew grim. They decided not to engage in one-on-one battles anymore and instead prepared for a full-scale fight. With their cold commands echoing, the atmosphere atop Yunlan Mountain instantly became tense. The autumn wind swept through, stirring a few fallen leaves and carrying with it a chilling sense of killing intent.

All around Yunlan Mountain, the long-prepared experts of Mulan Valley heard the Mulan Elders' orders. Their Dou Qi wings unfurled, and with a flick of their hands, sharp, gleaming weapons appeared. Their eyes, like daggers, focused on the opposing force, whose strength was equally formidable.

Yun Shan, the leader of Yunlan Sect, gave a cold smile and waved his hand. The elders of Yunlan Sect immediately moved, joining the Mulan Valley experts in surrounding Mo Yu's group.

"Heh, Xiao family twin dragons! Today, I'll turn you into the dead insects of the Xiao family!" Yun Shan shouted fiercely.

In the sky, Xiao Yan looked at Yun Shan's twisted face, now sneering, but the smile on Xiao Yan's lips gradually turned sinister as well.

"Yun Shan, you don't need to say such things. You're the one who made my father disappear and destroyed my family. Between us and Yunlan Sect, it's a fight to the death. Today, either Yunlan Sect will be erased from the Jia Ma Empire, or I, Xiao Yan, will die here!"

Being called an "old dog" by Xiao Yan made Yun Shan's face twitch with anger. After a moment, he took a deep breath and gave a cold, vicious smile. "This time, I will make sure that the Xiao family is completely wiped out from the Jia Ma Empire!"

"Yunlan Sect, attack!" Yun Shan commanded.

The Mulan Elders didn't hesitate. "Mulan Valley, attack!" they barked coldly.

As Yun Shan and the Mulan Elders gave their orders, the tension that had filled the air snapped. The elders of Yunlan Sect and the experts of Mulan Valley, their Dou Qi wings flapping, shot through the sky like arrows. They formed a loose encirclement around Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and the others.

"Don't let them form a formation—attack!" Hai Bodong shouted. His icy wings flared out behind him, and his powerful Dou Qi surged from his body. Thanks to the healing elixir Xiao Yan had given him, his strength had nearly returned to its peak in just a few days.

As Hai Bodong's powerful aura exploded, many people's faces shifted in response.

Without hesitation, Hai Bodong charged forward, his icy Dou Qi sharp like a blade as he targeted one of the stronger Yunlan Sect elders.

The moment Hai Bodong attacked, chaos erupted across the battlefield. Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, Yin Gu Lao, and Zi Yan all followed suit, their terrifying Dou Qi spreading across the sky. The pressure of their combined power blanketed Yunlan Mountain, making it hard for weaker fighters to even breathe.

"Kill!"

Not to be outdone, the Yunlan Sect elders and Mulan Valley experts, eyes gleaming with viciousness, let out a fierce shout. In front of countless onlookers, they unleashed their full power and charged.

Boom! Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the two terrifying forces collided in the sky. Thunderous explosions of energy echoed as powerful shockwaves rippled through the air.

Outside of the chaotic battlefield, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan hovered in the air, observing the battle. None of the Yunlan Sect elders or Mulan Valley experts dared to challenge them, knowing that Mo Yu was reserved for the Mulan Elders and Yun Shan to deal with personally.

Mo Yu's eyes scanned the raging battlefield. Soon, Yun Shan's cold gaze met his own, filled with killing intent. Yun Shan took a step forward, moving toward Mo Yu and Xiao Yan. As he reached the edge of the platform, he glanced down at Yun Yun, the Yunlan Sect's former leader, and barked at his disciples, "Keep a close watch on her!"

The disciples quickly responded and moved to restrain Yun Yun. However, none of them noticed a black-robed figure sneaking toward Yun Yun under the cover of the chaos…

High in the sky, Yun Shan walked step by step through the air, and soon he was standing before Xiao Yan. The two faced each other, their eyes filled with cold, murderous intent. Sparks seemed to fly as their gazes clashed.

At the same time, the three Mulan Elders exchanged a glance. Unfurling their Dou Qi wings, they flew toward Mo Yu, surrounding him.

Although the Mulan Elders were not Dou Zong (Dou Ancestor) level experts who could walk freely in the air, their combined strength, thanks to a special technique, allowed them to rival a true Dou Zong.

"Kid, you escaped from Mulan Empire a few years ago, but today, we'll make sure you die right here!" the lion-headed elder said coldly, his face twisted into a sinister smile.

"You three may be strong enough to fight a Dou Zong when you join forces, but I wonder if your combined soul strength can match a true Dou Zong. Either way, I'll take you down," Mo Yu retorted calmly.

"After all these years, your mouth has only gotten bolder," the lion-headed elder sneered, though there was a slight pause in his expression.

As they traded sharp words, a sudden burst of two powerful auras from another part of the battlefield drew everyone's attention.

In another skirmish, Yun Shan's body erupted with a deep green Dou Qi. The energy was so dense that it looked almost like molten lava, thick and viscous. The space around Yun Shan trembled under the force of his Dou Qi.

In contrast, Xiao Yan's face remained calm as he formed a series of hand seals.

"Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations: Glazed Transformation!"

With Xiao Yan's shout, his Dou Qi surged violently. His aura spiked sharply, reaching a level that could contend with a true Dou Huang (Dou Emperor)!

"A secret technique to boost your strength?" the Mulan Elders murmured, slightly surprised by Xiao Yan's sudden increase in power. They had underestimated him.

"Don't worry, leave him to Yun Shan. He's the leader of Yunlan Sect and a Dou Zong expert. If he can't even handle a young brat, then he's not fit to be our ally," the bear-headed elder said confidently.

"Indeed. Our main target is Mo Yu!" the tiger-headed elder added, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust as he turned toward Mo Yu.

"Let's see how much you've improved in these past few years," the lion-headed elder said with a sinister smile. Immediately, a powerful surge of energy erupted from his body, spreading across the battlefield.

The two other Mulan Elders moved at the same time, sneering as their energies merged. A powerful aura surged out, sweeping across the sky.

"Indeed, this is the aura of a Dou Zong (Dou Ancestor)!"

Feeling this overwhelming energy, Mo Yu's brows furrowed slightly, his expression becoming a bit more serious.

As the two battlefields hovered in the sky, the spectators on Yunlan Mountain held their breath. Whether Mo Yu could defeat the Mulan Elders and whether Xiao Yan could overcome Yun Shan would be the two critical points that would decide the outcome of this war!

The Mulan Elders floated in the sky, their immense Dou Qi filling the space and even causing slight distortions in the air.

Feeling the vast power inside their bodies resonate with the energy of the heavens and earth, a deep confidence surged within the three elders.

"Haha, Mo Yu, today will be your death!" The Lion-headed Elder's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty gleam as he laughed maniacally.

Mo Yu looked at the Lion-headed Elder, who was laughing wildly towards the sky, with a calm expression. He spun his spear playfully and chuckled, "A mere force like Mulan Valley is not even worthy to polish my boots in the Black-Corner Region."

"Arrogant! We've heard of your deeds in the Black-Corner Region, but the Northwestern Continent is not a place for youngsters like you to play around in!" the Tiger-headed Elder mocked coldly, his voice accompanied by a faint tiger's roar.

Ignoring their taunts, Mo Yu gripped his Godly Black Thunder Spear, which flashed with black lightning. With a flick of his wrist, the spear sliced through the air, producing sharp, cutting sounds.

The spear suddenly froze mid-air as silver lightning erupted from Mo Yu's feet. The faint crackling of thunder echoed as his body turned into a black streak, shooting toward the Mulan Elders with incredible speed!

Seeing Mo Yu's lightning-fast approach, the Mulan Elders exchanged a brief glance before sneering. The Tiger-headed Elder stepped forward and positioned himself to block Mo Yu's attack.

With bloodthirsty eyes locked on the incoming Mo Yu, the Tiger-headed Elder's fists clenched tightly. Blood energy surged around his fists as he swung them forward with immense power.

This punch wasn't fancy or tricky, but it was packed with overwhelming force. The sheer power of it distorted the space around him and produced ear-piercing sounds.

Facing the Tiger-headed Elder's direct attack, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged. His Dou Qi roared through his body like a raging river.

Even though Mo Yu was only a one-star Dou Huang (Dou Emperor), his deep foundation made him as strong as a four- or five-star Dou Huang. Moreover, with the help of two mysterious lightning techniques, he could even fight a Dou Zong!

And with some of his special techniques, even Dou Zong experts would have trouble with him!

His grip tightened on his spear, which was now engulfed in a dense, fiery red lightning. With both hands holding the spear firmly, Mo Yu didn't dodge. Instead, he swung his spear directly at the Tiger-headed Elder's blood-red fist.

Clang!

A loud metallic sound rang out, echoing across the battlefield and reverberating in the ears of those below. Some of the weaker fighters even felt their eardrums ache.

In the sky, where the two forces clashed, powerful shockwaves rippled outward like waves on water, pushing the two combatants apart after just a brief collision.

Mo Yu felt a numbing sensation in his hands from the force of the Tiger-headed Elder's blow. "His strength is stronger than I expected," Mo Yu thought, but he could sense the elder had overestimated his own power.

After retreating a few steps, the Tiger-headed Elder finally steadied himself, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the lingering paralysis on his fist caused by Mo Yu's lightning strike. "What kind of lightning is this?" he growled.

With his vast experience, he could tell that the lightning on Mo Yu's spear was not ordinary. It had suppressed the blood energy surrounding his fists. Normally, only an otherworldly flame could have such an effect, which meant Mo Yu's lightning was just as powerful!

Seeing their comrade falter, the other two Mulan Elders frowned slightly, realizing they had underestimated Mo Yu.

"Enough games. Attack together and kill him!" The Lion-headed Elder's bloodthirsty gaze fixed on Mo Yu as he signaled the others to attack.

The other two elders nodded.

Having made up their minds, the three elders no longer hesitated. In the blink of an eye, their figures flashed, surrounding Mo Yu in a triangular formation.

Seeing their movements, Mo Yu lightly touched the beast ring on his finger, his silver eyes flashing with a hint of amusement.

He could feel that all his escape routes were blocked. In this formation, the only option left was to face their attacks head-on.

"Mulan Valley really has some tricks up its sleeve," Mo Yu thought, feeling a slight sense of danger. Without hesitation, he reached into his beast ring and threw out his ultimate weapon.

A shadowy figure appeared directly above Mo Yu, its claw engulfed in flames as it slashed downward with terrifying speed, aiming right for Mo Yu's head.

Just when everyone thought bloodshed was inevitable, a brilliant red light suddenly erupted behind Mo Yu, enveloping him in a fiery glow.

Boom!

From within the flames, a fiery red arm shot out, slamming into the Tiger-headed Elder's flaming claw.

A muffled sound, like bones cracking, echoed across the battlefield as a powerful shockwave spread out from the impact.

Crash!

The Tiger-headed Elder was sent flying, his body skidding through the air before finally coming to a halt after being forced back dozens of steps.

"Dou Zong puppet!"

Seeing the expressionless figure radiating an aura of slaughter, the Bear-headed Elder's face changed drastically as he realized what it was.

"I told you before, Mulan Valley is not qualified to kill me."

Mo Yu's cold voice came from behind the fiery figure as he emerged, his eyes locked onto the Mulan Elders.

The Mulan Elders' faces twitched, and the Lion-headed Elder spoke in a sinister tone: "We underestimated you. You really do have a Dou Zong-level puppet."

With this revelation, both Yunlan Sect and Mulan Valley's forces were momentarily stunned. A puppet at the Dou Zong level? Was such a thing even possible?

Fixing his gaze on the puppet, the Mulan Elders exchanged a glance, their expressions turning grave.

"However, we've already gathered intelligence about you. We've been prepared for your Dou Zong puppet for some time, so we've prepared a little gift for you."

"I already said, this Northwestern Continent is no place for a brat like you to dominate!" the Lion-headed Elder sneered before letting out a sharp whistle into the air.

"Lord Yan! Lady Poison Mistress! Please reveal yourselves!"

As his voice echoed out, a dazzling golden light shot up from the northwestern sky, soon hovering above them.

Everyone looked up and saw a man dressed in golden robes, floating in the air. Behind him was a massive pair of golden wings that shimmered like the sun, making him appear like a deity.

Beside him was a giant eagle with deep blue feathers.

Seeing this, Mo Yu's expression shifted slightly as he sensed an aura as strong as Yun Shan's.

Just as Mo Yu was about to investigate further, he suddenly noticed the beautiful woman riding the giant eagle.

When his eyes fell on her familiar face, Mo Yu froze for a moment, his expression softening as a wave of nostalgia washed over him.

"It's been a long time… Xiao Yixian…" Mo Yu whispered.
