But just as Wu Baizhan made his move, the clear sky suddenly darkened.
boom!
At this moment, the majestic power of heaven and earth resounded between heaven and earth, and a thunderclap startled the nine heavens!
At the top of the vast dome, endless tribulation clouds gathered, and from within the dark, oppressive clouds, a gigantic lightning finger emerged.
Then a colossal phantom of an elephant appeared, blotting out the sky, and with a roar it shook the mountains and rivers, and the world lost its color!
The giant lightning finger slammed straight into the fiery hand, and the city of Spirit Light was illuminated by dazzling lightning.
At that moment, the protective array enveloping Lingguang City shattered.
The city walls collapsed and shattered, and the space exploded at the point where the giant finger landed, with cracks spreading outwards like a dense spider web.
Terrifying thunder and flames surged in all directions at this moment, covering the sky like a canopy, causing earth-shattering chaos and leaving no living beings in the air for thousands of miles!
Wu Baizhan hurriedly protected the jade carriage behind him, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, his voice booming like a torrent:
"Who dares to challenge my Great Yan Dynasty!"
As the residual power dissipated, Wu Baizhan saw a purple figure appear in front of Li Xiuru.
Upon closer inspection, however, he was found to be an extremely handsome young man.
The young man wore a purple armor with flowing cloud and thunder patterns. His silver pupils, filled with purple aura, were as deep as an abyss. A vertical line between his eyebrows was extremely conspicuous, giving him an air of divinity.
He stood there all alone, yet he exuded an aura of supreme superiority and indifference to everything.
Like an incarnation of the heavens, they treat all living beings as straw dogs.
Wu Baizhan also recognized Zhou Xingdou's extraordinary abilities. Although they had exchanged blows earlier, he couldn't discern the details of Zhou Xingdou's martial arts techniques, but he sensed that Zhou Xingdou was probably no ordinary person.
His tone became much more serious and polite, but his words still carried a threatening undertone.
"Young friend, before you oppose the Great Yan Dynasty, think about whether your family can withstand it."
Zhou Xingdou looked at Wu Baizhan, his deep eyes holding a half-smile that made it impossible to discern his emotions.
But only he knew that he was now burning with rage, otherwise he wouldn't have taken matters into his own hands and used the Thunder Emperor Finger, a unique and powerful technique from the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Art.
"Hand over Liu Yanran, and if she is unharmed, you may live."
Zhou Xingdou's voice, like thunder rolling down from above, traveled like a divine decree to the jade carriage behind Wu Baizhan.
In his eyes, Wu Baizhan was not worthy to speak with him, and judging from Wu Baizhan's posture when he made his move, there must be someone in charge in the jade carriage.
In the past, he might not have given her a chance to talk, and instead had Yu Ji fight alongside him.
But this time is different. Liu Yanran is a crucial part of weakening Lin Fan, and at least for now, she cannot afford to lose her.
Before Wu Baizhan could speak, a person stepped out of the jade carriage. This person was wearing a red dragon and gold robe and had a slightly eerie handsome face.
He looked at Zhou Xingdou and chuckled softly twice:
"Zhou Daozi, it's all a misunderstanding, why get angry?"
After he finished speaking, another beautiful figure was pulled out of the jade carriage; it was indeed Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran glanced at Zhou Xingdou, and then her dim eyes suddenly burst with joy, and tears streamed down her face.
Zhou Xingdou's divine eyes immediately turned to Liu Yanran. Seeing that her Dao foundation cultivation was intact and that she was still a virgin, he felt a sense of relief.
He then looked at the eerie man in the crimson dragon and gold robe, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said:
"I never expected that the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty would dare to come to the territory of my Xuantian Dao Sect to show off his power."
"Huo Lingtian, what do you think I should do?"
Now that his identity has been revealed, Stephen Chow naturally no longer hides it.
The person in the jade carriage was none other than Huo Lingtian, the crown prince of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Although Zhou Xingdou was not familiar with the Great Yan Dynasty, he still recognized the Yan Emperor and the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Just as Huo Lingtian knows himself, people may not know the major forces in the Primordial Dao Domain, but they still need to know the important figures in these forces.
This also prevents powerful families from fighting over trivial matters because they don't recognize each other.
Huo Lingtian smiled lightly, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, and without mentioning what had just happened, he bowed slightly to Zhou Xingdou and said:
"It's all a misunderstanding. Ling Tian believes that with Zhou Daozi's magnanimity, he wouldn't make things difficult for Ling Tian over such a trivial matter."
At this moment, the long-silent Lingguang City Lord's Mansion also emitted a stream of light that rushed towards Zhou Xingdou's location.
The light faded, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, with large beads of sweat dripping down his face. He then stepped back and bowed to Zhou Xingdou.
The man's voice trembled, filled with panic:
"As the Lord of Lingguang City, I was unaware of Zhou Daozi's arrival. I deserve to die. I beg Daozi to punish me."
Zhou Xingdou looked at the city lord of Lingguang City, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His voice was like a majestic heavenly aura, as imposing as the sea, resounding throughout the city:
“People from outside the sect have bullied and oppressed the people of my Xuantian Dao Sect.”
As the city lord, you neither stop it nor show yourself!
What use are you!
Boom!
Just as Zhou Xingdou finished speaking, a loud rumble resounded from the dome.
In an instant, a pillar of lightning crashed down. The Lord of Lingguang City's expression changed drastically, and before he could even utter a plea for mercy, he was drowned out by the lightning.
In an instant, this true god city lord turned into ashes.
Seeing this, Huo Lingtian's originally smiling and polite face became somewhat stiff.
Zhou Xingdou looked at Huo Lingtian again, his eyes flashing with a chilling, all-consuming light. He rose higher and lowered himself, coldly saying:
"Huo Lingtian, I'll say it one last time: hand over Liu Yanran, or even the Emperor Yan's arrival today won't save you!"
Zhou Xingdou's words were like a divine decree, leaving no room for doubt. It was as if the crown prince of an empire was a subject before him, and he could not disobey him!
Upon hearing this, Huo Lingtian's smile vanished instantly. A hint of anger flashed in his eerie eyes:
"Zhou Daozi, I have no intention of fighting you. This man is yours!"
At this point, Huo Lingtian raised his palm and pushed Liu Yanran, who was standing next to him, towards Zhou Xingdou, then said in a cold voice:
"But that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. Please retract your insulting words to my father, Zhou Daozi!"
Zhou Xingdou took Liu Yanran in his arms, and Liu Yanran's soft, boneless body pressed against him. Looking at Zhou Xingdou, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she said as if afraid that Zhou Xingdou would find her disgusting:
“Master, Yanran didn’t say anything, and he didn’t touch me. Yanran is still innocent.”
As she spoke, tears streamed down Liu Yanran's face, her voice trembling as she said:
"In order to make me reveal the Sword Manual, they tortured Uncle Xuan to death in front of me and even said they would send me and the women of the Liu family to the military brothel."
Zhou Xingdou's brows twitched slightly, his heart touched a little. Looking at the pitiful Liu Yanran, he said gently:
"I see."
But at this moment, his anger reached its peak. The Liu family was already his, and the Liu family women, such as Liu Yanran and Li Xiuru, were all his possessions.
No one is allowed to touch even a fraction of his belongings!
Huo Lingtian's words, even without any action, had already touched a nerve with Zhou Xingdou.
