Chapter 43: Purple Thunder, Palm Thunder, Heavenly Thunder!

The viewing platform fell silent once again.

Everything just now had happened too fast; by the time they regained their senses, Zhao Huanjin had already landed back on the viewing platform.

Lin Xuan, in the arena, also walked back to the center of the field.

Feng Shayan, her hands pressed against the railing of the viewing platform, moved her throat and swallowed with difficulty.

So strong.

Yesterday, she felt like she had been dancing on the head of the King of Hell.

With this kind of speed and force, even her Space Ability would have no effect.

She had studied her own abilities quite a bit, so she understood the weaknesses of her powers even better.

Against an opponent like this, she didn't have the slightest chance of winning.

This was simply not on the same level as her.

It might even be on the same level as her father.

"Good heavens!"

Tian Jinzhong smacked his lips.

"This luck of Baiyun Guan, this child, this momentum and these methods, are far stronger than what the Senior Brother had back in the day."

Tian Jinzhong said this without any reservations.

Upon hearing this, Lao Tianshi turned his head to glance at Tian Jinzhong.

But he also acknowledged that these words were true.

Recalling the situation back then, his own methods were somewhat capable, but they could at least be categorized within the realm of humanity.

But as for Lin Xuan, to have cultivated an inner elixir to such a degree?

Even Lao Tianshi felt his hands itching.

On the other side, Rong Shan and Liang Guofu, who had yet to make a move, exchanged a glance.

Judging from the situation just now, Lin Xuan was not someone they could afford to provoke.

Going down there would just mean a loss, and the situation would likely be no better than Zhao Huanjin's.

"Perhaps if I use my thunder techniques, there might be a sliver of a chance."

After Liang Guofu finished speaking, he took a step forward and looked at Lin Xuan in the arena.

"Eighth Senior Brother, be careful."

Rong Shan said with a serious expression.

But in truth, he had no confidence in his heart either.

After two matches, they, who had been extremely confident, had become much more cautious.

"If Senior Brother makes a move later, perhaps you could try condensing the Golden Light into a form."

Zhang Lingyu said to Rong Shan as he watched Liang Guofu leap down.

"Junior Brother, your Golden Light Spell was shattered in one blow; condensing the Golden Light is effective against opponents of similar strength, but against this one below, I'm afraid it won't work."

Rong Shan shook his head slightly.

"That's right, I didn't even dare to try; actually, my Golden Light Spell was also nearly shattered just now, but this Daoist here likely held back some of his strength at the end."

Zhao Huanjin spoke up.

Zhang Lingyu nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Below, Lin Xuan looked at Liang Guofu, who had leaped down and walked forward.

His features were regular, and he looked very upright.

"This poor Daoist knows I am no match for you, Daoist, but facing an opponent like you is a rare opportunity, so I hope you will show mercy later."

Liang Guofu also offered a standard polite remark.

"The one just now used a thunder technique, but it wasn't very satisfying; do you know how to use it?"

Lin Xuan asked with some curiosity.

The way Zhao Huanjin had used his thunder technique just now made him feel it was somewhat interesting.

Using a thunder technique to increase one's own speed.

Lin Xuan also knew thunder techniques, though it was the Palm Thunder from the Three Thousand Daoist Arts, which was naturally different from the Tianshi Mansion's Five Thunders Orthodox Method.

"This poor Daoist was taught the Yang Five Thunders by my master; please enlighten me, Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Liang Guofu did not hesitate and directly unleashed his thunder technique.

White electric light emerged beneath his feet, and then thunder snakes rampaged and spread across the ground.

"Thunder Prison!"

Following Liang Guofu's low shout, the rampaging and spreading thunder snakes suddenly converged toward Lin Xuan.

In an instant, they erupted from the ground, like a cage of lightning, binding Lin Xuan within it.

Strands of electric snakes conducted onto Lin Xuan's body, slithering across him.

Feeling this Yang Five Thunders, Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"The power of your thunder technique is immense; Daoist, please be careful."

Liang Guofu offered a warning.

Afterward, he condensed electric light in his palm—the method of using thunder techniques within the Yang Five Thunders: Palm Thunder.

Being struck by the lightning of the Yang Five Thunders would make the body feel as if it were being scorched, and the moisture within the body would rapidly decrease along with the burning.

This was also the reason why suffering from thunder techniques felt like a burn injury.

"I have seen your thunder technique, now take a look at mine."

Feeling the electricity from the lightning cage around his body conducting onto him, Lin Xuan said in a clear voice, as a touch of purple emerged in his raised palm.

The Yang Five Thunders appear incandescent, looking bright and majestic.

Meanwhile, the purple thunder light emerging in Lin Xuan's hand gives one a feeling of peerless nobility.

Gasps of surprise arose.

What kind of thunder technique is this?

As disciples of Longhu Mountain, they have naturally seen thunder techniques before.

But what is this purple thunder light?

"This is?"

Tian Jinzhong looked hesitant, turning his gaze toward Lao Tianshi.

"I haven't seen it either; it's purple—could it be the Zixiao Divine Thunder?"

Lao Tianshi said while stroking his beard, then turned his head to look at Fang Dongtian to the side.

Sensing Lao Tianshi's gaze, Fang Dongtian shook his head directly.

"Don't look at me; you know I don't know thunder techniques, and although many of our Quanzhen methods have traces of thunder techniques, we actually cannot truly unleash them."

As a powerful means of attack, thunder techniques are indeed inherited by various branches of the Dao Sect, but due to differences in their respective cultivation, the evolution of thunder techniques also differs.

Because Quanzhen places extreme importance on Life and Nature Cultivation, even the basic Life and Nature Cultivation method, the Hushou Zhou, actually has traces of thunder techniques.

But I really don't know what this purple thunder is.

"Also, Tianshi, what is the Zixiao Divine Thunder you just mentioned?"

He knows there are Five Thunders, Ten Thunders, and Thirty-Six Thunders, but the name Zixiao Divine Thunder is not something that can be given casually, and why does it sound so familiar?

Fang Dongtian was somewhat hesitant.

"Ahem, it's nothing."

Lao Tianshi coughed lightly and did not continue to speak on this matter, his gaze fixed on the arena.

The dense purple dyed Lin Xuan's figure purple as well.

The sound of thunder rang out in Lin Xuan's hand.

The purple electric light even dyed the Yang Five Thunders thunder prison unleashed by Liang Guofu purple.

Liang Guofu had a solemn expression, his eyes staring fixedly at Lin Xuan.

"Originally, I didn't know much about thunder techniques either, but the Daoist's use of thunder techniques gave me some insight; this Palm Thunder of mine is still passable."

Lin Xuan spoke, raised his hand to tear open the thunder prison formed by the Yang Five Thunders, and stepped out.

The thunder, which was originally just energy without a physical form, was actually torn open as if it were real.

Liang Guofu did not speak, his expression guarded; he dared not take the initiative to attack now.

That streak of purple thunder light in Lin Xuan's hand felt far too dangerous to him.

What on earth is this thunder technique?

Lin Xuan naturally understood the power of the Purple Thunder in his hand; although it could be considered a derivation of the Palm Thunder, this power was not something a mortal body could withstand.

Lin Xuan raised his hand, and the Purple Thunder in his hand shot straight into the sky, like a bright purple straight line, instantly reaching the high-altitude clouds.

Subsequently, a massive peal of thunder exploded above everyone's heads.

The purple electric light seemed to tear the sky apart.

The massive thunder sounded as if it were right in everyone's ears, making everyone feel their scalps tingle, their ears buzzing, and leaving them feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

Liang Guofu looked up at the sky and dejectedly dissipated the incandescent thunder light in his hand.

Good grief, there's no point in competing anymore.

If this hit him, there probably wouldn't even be any scraps left.

"I concede; the Daoist's methods are heaven-reaching, and this humble Daoist is convinced!"

After Liang Guofu finished speaking, he turned and retreated directly.

Tian Jinzhong looked up at the sky; after that peal of thunder and the light that tore the sky apart, the sky became quiet again, though the clouds seemed to be gathering, as if it were about to rain.

"Senior Brother, this one is somewhat similar."

When the complete Five Thunder Technique is cultivated to a profound level, it can also draw upon the thunder of Nature to harm others.

However, throughout the generations, few Tianshi have been able to reach this level.

But that purple thunder light just now was not drawn from heavenly thunder, yet it was comparable to it.
