Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Kill Your Sister
Just as Yang Xiaotian frantically searched for traces of Zhu Xuan, Medicine Cauldron said, “No need to look any further, he has an ancient talisman that allows him to teleport through space, and by now, he’s likely thousands of miles away.”
Ancient talisman, space teleportation!
Yang Xiaotian’s heart sank, and he asked, “Master Ding, do you have a way to track down Zhu Xuan’s whereabouts?”
If Zhu Xuan escaped, the trouble would be endless.
Medicine Cauldron shook its head, “If he was still inside the Thunder God Cave, I would have a way, but now that he has teleported thousands of miles away, I’m powerless to do anything, unless I have Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder Water.”
Again, Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder Water.
Yang Xiaotian gave a bitter smile.
Knowing he could not track down Zhu Xuan, Yang Xiaotian, reluctant as he was, could only give up, and he returned to the altar.
Looking at the Innate Sword Spirit and the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water in front of him, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, observing the various phenomena of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, there was no doubt it was Level Four or above.
However, he could not determine exactly which level it was.
“This Tribulation Thunder Water is indeed Level Four or above, but unfortunately, it’s only Level Four,” Medicine Cauldron sighed at that moment.
“Only Level Four!” Yang Xiaotian’s eyes widened.
Luo Qing had said that the Tribulation Thunder within Thunder God Cave was likely Level Six, hadn’t he?
It was only Level Four?
Yang Xiaotian was greatly disappointed.
If it had been before, obtaining Level Four Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, he would have been extremely joyful, but now, he urgently needed Level Six Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, to help Medicine Cauldron subjugate the Iceflame Qilin.
Especially now that Zhu Xuan had escaped, he needed to subjugate the Iceflame Qilin even more.
“Perhaps, there is Level Six Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water elsewhere in Thunder God Cave, you should look again,” Medicine Cauldron suggested.
It likewise hoped that Yang Xiaotian could find Level Six Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.
Yang Xiaotian nodded, and began to collect the Level Four Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and the Innate Sword Spirit before him.
At this time, thousands of miles away from Thunder God Cave, Zhu Xuan fell from the high sky to the ground, his face covered in dust. His white robe was stained with blood.
Clutching his right arm, he took out an elixir, crushed it, and sprinkled it on the wound.
Thinking about how he was injured and fled from Yang Xiaotian’s attack, thinking of the two Innate Sword Spirits and the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water that should have been his, Zhu Xuan’s eyes turned blood-red as he bellowed, “Yang Xiaotian, if I don’t kill you, then I’m not Zhu Xuan!”
Having joined the Sky-Stepping Sect, being one of the Sect’s Six Swords, and his master being the Great Elder of the Sect, his status was exceedingly noble, and yet now he had been rendered so utterly disheveled by a mere freshman from Tiandou Academy.
He had even nearly died at Yang Xiaotian’s hands.
It was fortunate that he had the ancient talisman; otherwise, he would have really ended up dead at Yang Xiaotian’s hands.
The more Zhu Xuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and his killing intent grew stronger.
“Yang Xiaotian, is it? Just you wait for me.”
“I’ll kill your father and mother first! Then your sister!”
Thinking of Yang Xiaotian’s sister in the True Dragon Divine Sect, a vicious plan emerged in Zhu Xuan’s mind.
“Yang Xiaotian, we’ll see how you save your sister then.” Zhu Xuan soared into the sky, laughing wildly.
Three days passed.
Inside the Thunder God Cave, Yang Xiaotian frowned deeply at the palace gates before him.
He had searched every other place in the cave, and now the only place he had not searched was this palace, yet no matter what method he used, he couldn’t open the palace gates.
He had a feeling that if there was Level Six Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, it would be inside this palace.
“Try using the Thunderclap Nine Heavens you’ve obtained to see if you can open it,” Medicine Cauldron suddenly suggested.
Thunderclap Nine Heavens?
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian hurriedly took out the “Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art” and began to carefully page through it.
Earlier, after having glanced through it cursorily, he felt that the “Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art” was incomparably profound; now as he pored over it, he found it even more expansive and mysterious.
When Yang Xiaotian finished reviewing it, his chest heaved with emotion.
Although he had not yet started cultivating the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art, he could be certain that it was no less formidable than his Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.
“Thunderclap Nine Heavens, turning thunder into sword, when cultivated to the ultimate level, the thunder of the Nine Heavens will be at my command, heaven and earth become my sword. With one strike, continents may rise or fall!”
That was the final sentence of Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art.
One sword strike, capable of causing a continent to rise or fall.
Such shock, such a magnificent power.
To understand how vast a continent is, consider the one Xiaotian currently resided in, the Azure God Continent, which had dozens of empires like the Divine Dragon Empire.
As for kingdoms and sects, they were far too numerous to count.
Even Yang Xiaotian couldn’t begin to imagine the full expanse of the Azure God Continent.
A person’s power, covering an entire kingdom, was already shocking to hear of, let alone an empire—that was simply inconceivable, not to mention shaking an entire continent.
Although Yang Xiaotian felt that the last statement of the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art was a bit exaggerated, it was still clear to him that its power was terrifying.
After a while, Yang Xiaotian flipped through the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art for the second time.
Having carefully finished his second reading, he closed the book, recalling the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Techniques and art, but he didn’t rush to cultivate it, instead proceeding to his third reading.
Moments later, Yang Xiaotian activated the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art, launching a punch that emitted dazzling thunderlight, with dozens of thunder swords plunging into the grand doors of the palace in front of him, causing the doors to surge with light.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.
Previously, he had bombarded the palace doors with various methods with no effect, but now, using the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art, the doors responded so dramatically; it seemed that this sword art could indeed open them.
However, the palace doors soon returned to calmness.
Yang Xiaotian once again invoked the first move of Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art to attack, and the palace doors surged with light once more, but just like before, they quickly settled down again.
Yang Xiaotian tried many times, to no avail.
“To truly open it, you must completely cultivate the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art,” Master Ding said.
Yang Xiaotian was at a loss for words.
It was a false hope.
The Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art was as profound as the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique. To fully cultivate it, how long would it take? Even if he were given one year or even two, he might not be able to completely master it.
Yang Xiaotian, unwilling to give up, tried attacking with the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art again, but no matter how he struck, he could not open the palace doors.
In the end, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to give up.
Considering the palace doors could only be opened by the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Art, he wasn’t worried that others would be able to open them.
After taking another round through the Thunder God Cave without finding anything, Yang Xiaotian finally left the Thunder God Cave.
When he emerged from the Thunder God Cave, Zhu Xuan’s forces had long since withdrawn.
Yang Xiaotian returned to the Tiandou Imperial City with the Black Flood Dragon King and Azure Thunder Python.
However, the moment he entered the Tiandou Imperial City, he heard people discussing an attack on his mansion all over the streets.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian’s expression changed, and he rushed back with the Azure Thunder Python.
From a distance, he saw his mansion split into two halves by a tremendous saber Qi.
The walls of the mansion had collapsed, and everything was ruined beyond recognition.
Instantly, a towering rage welled up inside him, uncontrollable.
After landing, he charged madly into his parents’ courtyard.
