Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 171: Fierce Battle, Three Beasts Desolate Technique

"Little Beast King."

Staring at the familiar face, although the originally yellow robe had turned into a green robe, Mo Yu still recognized him at a glance, and a bad feeling surged in his heart.

Previously, to frame Mulan Valley, Mo Yu had instructed Qinglin to send the Rock Snake Giant Lizard Beast to kidnap the Little Beast King and take him to the territory of the Lizard Snake Clan, leading to a war between the two factions, from which he could reap the benefits.

Although the Little Beast King's whereabouts had been unknown since then, it was clear that Mulan Valley had eventually found him.

"President Mu Qing, you suspect that he is Mo Yu, the one who schemed to stir up conflict between Mulan Valley and the Lizard Snake Clan?" The Little Beast King's cold eyes stared at Mo Yu, and a murderous intent curled at the corners of his mouth.

Being captured by the Rock Snake Giant Lizard Beast, he had been trapped in a dark underground cave for seven days and nights. If his father hadn't arrived in time, he might have died there. After being rescued, he learned that all of this was orchestrated by that young man from Lannister Town. Shocked, a burning rage surged from his chest to his head.

What he had thought was merely an ant to be crushed had used him as a pawn, causing a conflict between two major forces. As the number one genius of Mulan Empire, he had been reduced to a clown. How could he not be furious?

Seeing the anger on the Little Beast King's face, Mu Qing's lips curled into a satisfied smile as he looked at Mo Yu with a cold sneer. "Little Beast King, during the Weapon Master assessment, this person displayed a flame lightning that rivaled a Heavenly Flame, which likely has ties to the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame of the Black Lizard Snake King. Moreover, this so-called 'Yu Mo' used a disguise technique, which, though intricate, couldn't fool my innate spiritual perception. Therefore, I have reason to believe he is the Mo Yu that Mulan Valley is hunting!"

As soon as Mu Qing finished speaking, Lan Yingying's eyes narrowed, and she snapped, "Mu Qing, what are you doing? Are you colluding with outsiders to frame someone from our Weapon Master branch? Junior Brother Yu Mo is not only a third-tier Weapon Master of our branch but also a genius about to join our Instrument Guild. Do you not fear incurring the wrath of my teacher?"

Hearing this, Mu Qing's expression faltered slightly, but he quickly put on a false smile and said, "You misunderstand, President Lan. The Little Beast King only wishes to invite Junior Brother Yu Mo to Mulan Valley as a guest. If there is any misunderstanding, we will certainly apologize."

"Hmph, whether you are Yu Mo or Mo Yu, this time, I won't let you escape. President Lan, I hope you won't stand in my way!" The Little Beast King's expression turned serious as he looked at Lan Yingying. Though he didn't want to offend the Instrument Guild, his hatred for Mo Yu ran deep. He would rather kill the wrong person than let Mo Yu slip through his fingers.

As he spoke, the two green-robed men beside him sneered. "Xun, just grab this Yu Mo and interrogate him. Why waste time talking? Do these Weapon Masters in Mulan Empire dare to provoke Mulan Valley?"

"You!" Lan Yingying's face turned icy at their words. A mere faction in a small northwestern empire dared to challenge the Instrument Guild? It was truly laughable.

Just as Lan Yingying was about to make a move, Mo Yu stopped her. She paused, looking at him with concern. "Junior Brother, don't worry. I said I would protect you."

Mo Yu shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister Lan, but this matter began because of me, so I will handle it myself."

With that, Mo Yu stepped forward, standing face to face with the Little Beast King and his men.

Seeing the tension between them, the passersby stopped curiously. As they listened to the story unfold, more people gathered, eager to witness the showdown. The Little Beast King and Mo Yu—one was the top genius of Mulan Empire, the other a rising star—this was a rare spectacle.

Lan Yingying watched Mo Yu's back, her eyes flickering with interest. The Little Beast King and the two green-robed men behind him were next in line to become the Mulan Three Elders. Not only were they incredibly talented, but they were also very powerful. Rumor had it that they had mastered Mulan Valley's unique technique, the Three Beasts Desolate Technique, which greatly increased their power when combined. Did Mo Yu have a plan to deal with them?

"So, you're finally showing yourself. Are you admitting your identity, or should I force it out of you?" The Little Beast King's face was full of murderous intent as he coldly stared at Mo Yu, who had stepped forward.

Mo Yu's expression remained calm. Although he felt a bit disappointed that his identity had been exposed, he wasn't discouraged. It was just a fight, after all.

With a wave of his hand, Mo Yu revealed his true appearance, causing the surrounding spectators to buzz with chatter.

The young man's face was exactly like the one on the wanted posters!

"So, it really is you!"

Seeing Mo Yu's true face, the memory of being captured by the Rock Snake Giant Lizard Beast and Mo Yu's schemes made the Little Beast King's expression darken as he gritted his teeth, glaring at Mo Yu with eyes full of hatred.

"So what if it's me? If I want to leave, no one can stop me." Mo Yu's silver eyes stared coldly at the Little Beast King as he spoke indifferently.

"Hmph, don't think that just because you stole the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, you can act arrogantly. Today, I'll teach you a lesson!"

As the Little Beast King spoke, the green robe and long black hair on his body suddenly flared up, and a powerful aura began to rise from within him. The sheer strength of this aura left the surrounding bystanders in awe, their mouths agape.

Soft gasps could be heard as people murmured, "This aura… as expected of the Little Beast King, a five-star Da Dou Shi, strong enough to rival an ordinary six or seven-star Da Dou Shi!"

As the top genius of Mulan Empire, the Little Beast King indeed had reasons to be proud. At this rate, he might break through to Dou Wang in ten years and become a leader among the younger generation.

With a sudden surge, the green Dou Qi around the Little Beast King's body intensified, and in an instant, a rugged green Dou Qi armor formed over his muscular frame.

Now clad in Dou Qi armor, the Little Beast King sneered at Mo Yu. Today, he would use Mo Yu's blood to wash away his shame!

With Dou Qi surging through his veins like a raging river, the Little Beast King's cold eyes narrowed as he kicked off the ground. His body turned into a blur as he launched the first attack on Mo Yu.

The distance between them was only about ten meters, which took the Little Beast King less than a second to cross. In a flash, he entered attack range, gathering green Dou Qi in his fist like a falling meteor, aiming a sharp, powerful punch at Mo Yu's chest.

Mo Yu remained indifferent, his eyes locked on the rapidly approaching fist. As the Dou Qi within him roared to life, a mysterious silver Dou Qi armor swiftly formed around his body.

Mo Yu's Dou Qi armor was eerie and radiant, emitting a dazzling electric silver light. As it enveloped him, a surge of power filled his body.

Just as the green Dou Qi-covered fist was about to strike Mo Yu's chest, Mo Yu finally moved. The Divine Might Black Thunder Spear appeared in his hand, and with a swift sidestep, he dodged the Little Beast King's fierce attack.

"Wind Vortex Fist!"

Seeing his attack dodged and noticing the strange Dou Qi armor on Mo Yu, a hint of surprise flashed in the Little Beast King's eyes. He quickly twisted his hand, and a spiraling vortex of wind-attributed Dou Qi formed around his fist in an instant.

With a shout, the fierce punch shot out again, accompanied by a sharp wind, aiming directly at Mo Yu.

Feeling the cold wind close in on his face, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged. The lightning patterns on his right arm lit up, and a terrifying surge of power flowed through his body like a rampaging top-tier magical beast. Wielding the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear, Mo Yu unleashed a strike that made the air tremble, aiming it directly at the incoming Wind Vortex Fist!

Seeing this head-on clash, a hint of surprise flashed in the Little Beast King's eyes. He thought Mo Yu was courting death and that he would crush him with ease. However, the next moment made his expression change drastically.

The strike that twisted the air around it carried an overwhelming force, like a mountain descending upon him, thrusting at him with unmatched power!

"Boom!"

The violent collision of Dou Qi caused the solid ground beneath them to crack. Under the relentless assault of Mo Yu's spear, the Little Beast King's powerful punch was forced back!

Seizing the opportunity, Mo Yu's left hand suddenly opened, and an invisible force surged forward, striking the Little Beast King's chest with a heavy blow.

Enhanced by the Heavenly Flame and reinforced by the Thunder Body technique, Mo Yu's physical strength was now comparable to that of a top-tier magical beast. This punch sent the Little Beast King flying more than ten meters back.

The battle on the walkway quickly escalated. The intense Dou Qi poured out of the two fighters like a flood, and the continuous clashes of energy echoed in the air.

Just when the crowd thought they were witnessing the number one genius of Mulan Empire crushing a challenger, the fight ended with the Little Beast King being forced back!

Mo Yu's powerful punch had hit like a top-tier magical beast's strike, causing the Little Beast King to cough up blood as his face turned pale.

The spectators looked on in stunned silence. They had seen firsthand that the Little Beast King, the undisputed top genius of Mulan Empire, had met his match. Yet, he had been bested by Mo Yu, who was even younger, more talented, and stronger!

To see the Little Beast King, the most outstanding young talent of Mulan Valley and Mulan Empire, defeated so decisively by Mo Yu left everyone in awe. They could easily imagine how terrifying Mo Yu would become once he fully matured.

Lan Yingying's eyes sparkled as she watched. She had known that Mo Yu had a cultivation level close to Da Dou Shi but hadn't expected him to be this powerful.

The Little Beast King was a genius, even by Central Plains standards, but Mo Yu had defeated him with ease. It was astonishing.

"You… you've also reached the five-star Da Dou Shi level!"

As he slowly calmed his raging Dou Qi, the Little Beast King stared at Mo Yu in disbelief. He remembered that just a few months ago, Mo Yu had been only a Dou Shi. Though Mo Yu had managed to defeat a Da Dou Shi back then, the Little Beast King had thought of him as nothing more than a somewhat talented ant.

But now, in such a short time, Mo Yu had already advanced to the five-star Da Dou Shi level!

This rate of progress shocked even him.

"Xun, are you alright?" The two green-robed men approached, shocked by the scene before them.

One was tall, the other was thin, and like the Little Beast King, they were the disciples of the other two Mulan Elders. Both were four-star Da Dou Shi, not quite as strong as the Little Beast King but still top talents of Mulan Valley. Normally, they were proud and aloof, but now they were shocked to see the most talented among them defeated by an unknown youth.

"I'm fine, but this guy is tough. We might need to join forces and use our valley's secret technique!" The Little Beast King said darkly.

Hearing this, the other two looked at Mo Yu with serious expressions, then nodded.

The three men suddenly stepped back, forming a mysterious formation that was both offensive and defensive. As the formation took shape, green, red, and blue Dou Qi surged out of their bodies.

The Dou Qi didn't disperse but instead followed the formation, intertwining and forming a perfect cycle that connected their energy, spirit, and mind.

As the cycle completed, their robes fluttered, and a terrifying beastly roar filled with a desolate aura erupted. The energy of three beasts—a lion, a tiger, and a bear—emerged, wrapping around the three men.

As the red energy enveloped them, their individual auras began to merge into one, forming a terrifying presence that seemed to be on the brink of breaking through to the Dou Ling level.

"It's a rare sight to witness the Mulan Valley's secret technique. This Three Beasts Desolate Technique is indeed a mid-tier Earth-grade technique passed down from ancient times. Its fusion effect is truly extraordinary."

As they felt the overwhelming desolate aura, many onlookers watched closely, some with greed flickering in their eyes.

"Mo Yu, prepare to die!"

The red energy enveloped the three men, forming beast heads on their shoulders—a lion, a tiger, and a bear. From afar, they looked like half-beast men. The voice that came out of the lion-headed figure was the Little Beast King's.

Mo Yu's gaze swept over the trio, sensing the aura that was almost at the Dou Ling level. With a disdainful smirk, he sneered, "A crude fusion technique. If you think this can stop me, you're sorely mistaken."
