Chapter 708: When I, the Emperor, make my move, you will be utterly defenseless.

“Hehe, it’s not that Emperor Lin Fan lacks courage, but rather you, Thunder King, possess extraordinary audacity. With me right here, you still dare not flee. It seems you have tremendous courage indeed,” Lin Fan said calmly, flicking his sleeve, hands clasped behind his back, staring intently at the Thunder King.

The members of the Hundred Battles Squad watched the scene unfold before them and finally sighed deeply.

It seemed this time the Hundred Battles Squad was destined for total annihilation. Autumn Moon had actually encountered such a fool—daring to act so brazenly in front of the Thunder King.

“Autumn Moon, run quickly!” the members of the Hundred Battles Squad roared desperately.

They had no hope whatsoever in the two individuals Autumn Moon had brought along.

“Captain, ahead lies the Twin Gorges Dark Valley. If we proceed further, we might be discovered by the Thunder King,” a member of the Rose Squad said.

“Where exactly have they gone?” Liu Weifang asked, puzzled.

“They probably never even came here. The Thunder King is such a formidable existence; anyone with a sane mind would never dare come here to die.”

“Yeah, those two are only at the Seventh Heaven God Realm. How could they possibly stand a chance against the Thunder King?”

The Rose Squad, hidden in the shadows, chattered anxiously.

“Buzz…”

Just then, a dragon’s roar suddenly echoed across the heavens and earth.

Liu Weifang and the others immediately felt their blood and energy surge violently, their inner magical power thrown into chaos and exploding outward. One after another, they wore expressions of shock.

“How can this be? What’s happening?” Liu Weifang didn’t know exactly what had occurred, but the roar just now seemed like an extremely profound cultivation technique. In an instant, a voice rang out in everyone’s ears.

“Thunder King, fight me. More of your underlings won’t do anything but die.”

“They actually went to find the Thunder King.”

“How could this happen? What kind of courage do they possess to dare confront the Thunder King?”

“Let’s go and see what exactly is going on,” Liu Weifang thought, puzzled.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s divine might descended. With a single roar, the Eightfold Dragon Chant erupted forth, completely suppressing the Ancient Clan’s Commander.

“So you actually have some skill,” the Thunder King sneered coldly. He showed no emotion at the death of the Ancient Clan’s Commander, as if only an ant had perished.

“Not just some skill, but tremendous skill. Thunder King, I advise you to attack quickly. Otherwise, once I strike, you won’t have the slightest chance to retaliate,” Lin Fan said calmly.

The members of the Hundred Battles Squad were completely stunned at this moment.

They never imagined that the reinforcements Autumn Moon had brought would be this powerful—capable of annihilating the Ancient Clan’s Commander with a single roar.

His words toward the Thunder King were even more domineering, as if he feared neither heaven nor earth.

“Who exactly is he? We’ve never seen him in the Guardian Realm before. Everyone in the Guardian Realm knows of the Thunder King’s fearsome reputation. Is he truly this powerful, or is he merely bluffing?” The Hundred Battles Squad members couldn’t help but harbor such doubts.

But in their eyes, this was still far from enough, because the Thunder King’s terror was incomparable to these Ancient Clan Commanders.

Even ten thousand Ancient Clan Commanders wouldn’t stand a chance against the Thunder King.

From afar, the Rose Squad approached, hiding in the shadows.

“Captain, look! They’re right there!”

“How terrifying! The Thunder King has descended, accompanied by the Ancient Clan’s army. The vast and menacing aura can still be clearly felt from this distance.”

A black-robed female noble from the Rose Squad said.

“Be quiet! A cultivator of the Thunder King’s caliber can sense even the slightest disturbance in the void. If we’re discovered later, we’ll all likely die here.”

“But it’s impossible now to preserve even a trace of the Hundred Battles Squad’s bloodline.”

Liu Weifang looked at the scene before her and finally shook her head in regret. A mere Seventh Heaven God Realm cultivator daring to challenge an Ancient Clan King? It was simply a dreamer’s fantasy.

As for Liu Weifang, she was relieved she hadn’t hired those two individuals earlier. Had she done so, she wouldn’t have known what kind of trouble it might have brought to her mission.

Yet, their sheer audacity deeply impressed Liu Weifang.

After all, she had never personally witnessed anyone daring to confront the Thunder King directly.

The Thunder King’s power was formidable, especially his Thunder Techniques, which were extremely terrifying. To any living being, thunder power was an existence of terror.

“Master, would you like some assistance?” the monk Shakya asked.

Shakya sensed a powerful pressure emanating from the Thunder King’s body. This Thunder King was no simple opponent.

“Bald monk, do you really think Emperor Lin Fan needs help?” Lin Fan countered.

“In my humble opinion, the master indeed requires no assistance,” Shakya replied.

“Haha! Exactly right!” Lin Fan laughed loudly, then turned toward the Thunder King. “I gave you a chance to attack, but since you won’t, don’t blame me for not giving you another.”

In an instant, Lin Fan slowly strode toward the Thunder King.

Lin Fan had slain countless kings and emperors. Even if the Thunder King was powerful, he still held no fear.

“Hmph, seeking death!” The Thunder King’s eyebrows lifted. His pitch-black finger slightly raised, and instantly, the void became chaotic. A thunder dragon materialized, its head, claws, body, and scales as fierce and roaring as a real dragon.

“He’s asking for death! The Thunder King’s every movement exudes immense power. This thunder dragon contains a destructive aura. Even a Seventh Heaven God Realm cultivator couldn’t withstand it!”

Liu Weifang could clearly sense the power contained within this thunder dragon, her expression involuntarily turning grave.

In Liu Weifang’s eyes, the Thunder King was so powerful that with a mere flick of his finger, he could unleash a force capable of killing cultivators at the Seventh Heaven God Realm.

Faced with this technique, even she would retreat and do everything possible to evade it—never daring to confront it head-on.

“Thunder King, you dare to play with thunder before Emperor Lin Fan? You’re only humiliating yourself!” Lin Fan sneered. The Thunder Discipline King had already established his sect, founding the renowned Electrotherapy Academy.

To Lin Fan, this thunder dragon was nothing but an easy target.

“You arrogant brat!” the Thunder King roared furiously.

Boom!

In an instant, the thunder dragon completely engulfed Lin Fan, lightning flashing, making it impossible to see what was happening.

“It’s over. This person was too arrogant. How terrifying is the Thunder King’s strength? Wanting to resist directly is simply asking for death!” Liu Weifang sighed, shaking her head. She felt that people like this, full of hubris, would inevitably meet such a fate sooner or later.

Autumn Moon, watching the scene unfold before him, suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

The members of the Hundred Battles Squad also shook their heads in despair. All their efforts had been in vain. Before the Thunder King, everything became as insignificant as ants.

“Hmph, Thunder King, do you think that’s all you’re capable of?”

Suddenly, a voice rang out sharply through the void.

Swish!

Suddenly, a figure surrounded by thunder appeared before everyone’s eyes. Lin Fan opened his palm and grabbed the thunder dragon coiling around his body.

Snap!

With a flick of his wrist, the thunder dragon in his hand transformed into a thunder whip, rushing fiercely toward the Thunder King.

“Emperor Lin Fan told you before: when I strike, you won’t have the slightest chance to retaliate. Come here now!”
