All Lightning, Obey My Command!

"How dare a mere mortal show such disrespect to me!" Zhong Su's eyes flashed like lightning, and violent thunder surged forth, rushing toward his opponent.

The King of Slaughter swung his sword, shattering the myriad bolts of lightning and causing the sky to explode.

The water vapor in the air, struck by the electricity, condensed into raindrops and gathered together to form a thundercloud field, providing a tactical advantage for Zhong Su's battle.

Tang Chen was enveloped from head to toe in red blood-aura, his eyes burning crimson. Although he had lost his past memories, as the King of Slaughter, he still knew how to feel rage.

"What kind of monster dares to force its way into Slaughter City? You truly don't know the meaning of death," he said coldly.

"You seek death!" In a fit of fury, Zhong Su raised his right hand, and currents of electricity gathered from the thunderclouds into his palm.

"Power of thunder, strike!"

A bolt of purple lightning shot out, striking Tang Chen directly.

High above, the thunderclouds suddenly emitted a dazzling light, resembling a massive sun.

Tang Chen swung the Clear Sky Hammer, suppressing all the lightning wrapped around his body onto the hammer, and smashed it into the void.

BOOM—

A deafening sound echoed across the sky.

Like a hammer striking a water-logged floor, the thunderclouds in the sky were smashed into nothingness, revealing the blue sky and two figures.

"How terrifying! What is that thing?"

Below, the people of Slaughter City looked up at the monster in the sky, their mouths agape in astonishment.

"To be able to fight the King of Slaughter to such an extent... could it be a Title Douluo?"

"Are you blind? That's clearly a soul beast! But this is my first time seeing a soul beast that wears clothes. Could it be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

"It must be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, an overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest. Otherwise, it couldn't possibly possess such formidable strength."

"No, an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast isn't a match for the King of Slaughter."

A Soul Douluo, covered in blood, walked out and stared intensely at the sky.

The others felt a hint of fear upon hearing his words; this man was a ruthless character with twenty consecutive victories, someone not to be trifled with.

The Soul Douluo crossed his arms and looked up, his expression serious. "King of Slaughter, who exactly are you?"

He had been ordered to uncover the opponent's identity, but he had found nothing.

In Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was meditating in her room, with Hu Liena sitting opposite her.

Ever since she learned about Shendu, Bibi Dong had kept her under house arrest, and she had not taken a single step out of the room.

Hu Liena sat cross-legged on a cushion with her eyes closed, but her heart could never find peace.

She felt like a bird trapped in a cage, not only longing for freedom but living in constant fear every day, terrified that her master might take her out and roast her like a pigeon.

However, if there was a chance... Hu Liena gripped the corner of her clothes tightly.

"Don't think so much," Bibi Dong said faintly, without even opening her eyes.

"Teacher." Hu Liena's posture shifted, and she grew nervous.

"Since you've been discovered, don't think about leaving anymore. Just stay here quietly! Living a life of survival is better than losing your life," Bibi Dong advised kindly.

Truth be told, her feelings for this disciple were even deeper than those for her own daughter. She was unwilling to watch her be brainwashed by Shendu.

But from Hu Liena's perspective, she did not think so.

"Even the weakest ant will try to climb a tall tree," Hu Liena said firmly, speaking her true thoughts.

SLAP!

Bibi Dong showed no mercy, striking her across the face with a cold gaze.

"A frog at the bottom of a well," she said with disdain, clearly disappointed in her disciple.

However, since she was a disciple she cared about, she gave her one last chance.

"I will pretend I never heard what you said today. If there is a next time, I will kill you directly to save you from suffering," she said coldly, closing her eyes.

Opposite her, Hu Liena covered her face, filled with grievance, tears swirling in her eyes.

Bibi Dong kept her eyes closed, her expression indifferent. "The weak are not fit to reach the shore, because the moment they do, they will be discovered by those already there. You should put away those little tricks of yours."

Hu Liena's expression changed abruptly, shocked and startled.

But Bibi Dong paid her no mind and continued to meditate.

Hu Liena gritted her teeth, unwillingly abandoning those thoughts, and stopped dwelling on them.

She had indeed made plans to escape, but perhaps, as her teacher said, everything she did was under the gaze of that demon, and it was all meaningless.

Instead of this, it would be better to improve her own strength as soon as possible; perhaps then there would be a chance to resist.

The room fell silent once more.

Suddenly, waves of energy surged. Bibi Dong opened her eyes, her face filled with surprise. Something had happened in Slaughter City?

She flew out of Spirit Hall and rushed toward Slaughter City.

When she arrived, she saw only the sky filled with the frantic flashing and roaring of lightning. The Thunder Demon, Zhong Su, was trading blows back and forth with the King of Slaughter.

I never expected this guy to be so strong. Bibi Dong's expression was one of shock, her words carrying a double meaning that referred to both Zhong Su and the King of Slaughter.

I didn't think the King of Slaughter's strength had actually reached the level of a Peerless Douluo; it's a good thing I didn't provoke him too much before. Bibi Dong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, since Zhong Su's strength was also this formidable, could Qian Daoliu really stop him?

Doubt lingered in her heart.

"Ah—you ant-like mortal, how dare you provoke me! Unforgivable!" Zhong Su placed his hands in front of him and blasted out a massive bolt of lightning.

Tang Chen gripped his sword with both hands, his fury burning, and charged forward with all his might to cleave the lightning in two. The divine artifact, the Asura Sword, landed solidly on Zhong Su's shoulder.

"Puchi—"

Blood sprayed everywhere. Zhong Su clutched his shoulder and retreated, staring at his wound in shock.

"I actually got hurt?" He widened his eyes, unable to believe the fact.

After a long silence, he gritted his teeth, his body trembling slightly as rage filled his mind.

"Utterly detestable! I, the Lightning Demon Zhong Su, have actually been wounded by a mortal; this is simply unforgivable. All lightning, heed my command, come to me!" Zhong Su roared in anger.

Rumble—

The sky over the entire Douluo Continent instantly plunged into darkness as lightning mixed with thunderclouds and surged rapidly toward Slaughter City.

"Good heavens, what is happening?" People looked at the thunderclouds that had suddenly appeared in the sky, filled with shock.

"Is this the end of the world?"

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

"Could this be the true power of our Old Ancestor?" Yu Yuanzhen watched the thunderclouds being drawn away, his gaze filled with awe.

Slaughter City.

"A mere soul beast, yet you dare to act so insolently!" Tang Chen gripped the Asura Sword, his blood-red aura manifesting. The terrifying pressure was so intense that Bibi Dong could feel herself trembling from ten miles away.

"How terrifying!" She was incredibly astonished, quietly observing the battle between the two sides.

This was a battle between Peerless Douluos; there had never been another like it.

"In the name of the Asura God, I shall crush you!" Tang Chen slashed his sword against the opponent's lightning, his momentum fierce and aggressive.

"Lightning is invincible!" Zhong Su's expression was ferocious as he let out a loud roar.
