Chapter 543: Defeating Lei Yin, The End!
"Oh, so Mo Yu has been forced to challenge that boy Lei Yin?"
On top of the towering tree, Lei Ying's imposing figure radiated a fearsome aura as he watched the scene unfold. His voice was cold as he spoke.
"It seems I'll need to have a word with that old man Lei Fan. He can't even keep his own grandson in check."
"Hehe, father, you can't blame Elder Lei Fan. Everyone in the clan knows that Lei Yin has always had feelings for my younger sister. Although you arranged for her to marry Mo Yu with far-reaching vision, Lei Yin is young and proud, so it's only natural for him to feel upset. But from the looks of it, my brother-in-law doesn't seem to mind at all. I've heard that the Black Thunder Captain made quite a name for himself in the Central Plains, even making the Soul Palace's experts suffer losses at his hands. The outcome of this battle might surprise us," said Lei Dong, the silver-robed man, with a light smile.
"Those sneaky rats from the Soul Palace can't compare to the generals of my Black Demon Army. But you're right, my son-in-law has hidden himself well," Lei Ying laughed.
"Haha, next time I meet Gu Yuan, I'll let him know that our Lei Clan now has someone with a Divine Bloodline. Let's see how he acts then!"
Hearing this, Lei Dong's eyes narrowed slightly. His thoughts drifted to a certain figure and the memory of his rejected marriage proposal, making him shake his head with a bitter smile.
Lei Fei'er, meanwhile, kept her beautiful eyes fixed on the silver-eyed young man on the platform. She bit her red lips gently, feeling a bit nervous. Now that Mo Yu had the Divine Bloodline, he had slowly opened up a place in her heart, and she had already begun to see him as her future husband. She certainly didn't want him to lose this battle.
…
"Oh, the boy has guts…"
Mang Tianchi smiled and nodded as he watched the scene.
"Uncle, the Black Thunder Captain is still young and hasn't received the clan's full inheritance. Facing off against General Lei Hu right now… will he be alright?" Mang Ting said hesitantly.
"Don't worry. The young master has faced many strong enemies in the Central Plains, and they all fell at his hands. He won't lose this battle," Qinglin said with a confident smile on her beautiful face.
Xiao Yixian nodded in agreement, showing no signs of worry either.
…
On the testing platform, Lei Yin's previously violent expression gradually calmed down. He spoke, "No matter what your bloodline is, I didn't expect you to accept my challenge."
Mo Yu glanced at the man, a top genius in the Lei Clan. The bold '王' (King) symbol on Lei Yin's forehead made him seem even stronger. His whole body radiated a fierce aura, like a wild beast in human form. Just looking at him could evoke a deep sense of fear.
"You know why I've come to challenge you, don't you?"
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and stared directly at Lei Yin, a slight smirk appearing on his lips. "I do, but the root cause doesn't seem to lie with me. Honestly, your personality doesn't seem very appealing to women. I think you might be single for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Lei Yin's mouth twitched slightly, clearly caught off guard by the comment. But he quickly regained his composure and spoke in a serious tone.
"No matter what, ever since you revealed your Divine Bloodline, I know I no longer have the right to compete with you for Fei'er. But even so, I want to defeat you once before you fully grow into your power. Otherwise, in the future, I'll have to look up to your back forever. After all, you possess the Divine Bloodline."
As Lei Yin finished speaking, the sky seemed to grow more oppressive. A powerful aura surged from his body, and his figure vanished like a ghost.
Despite Lei Yin's sudden disappearance, Mo Yu's expression didn't change. Lei Yin was indeed strong, perhaps only the top five Sky Sovereigns of the Soul Palace could defeat him. But unfortunately for Lei Yin, his opponent was Mo Yu.
"Your idea of defeating me now is correct, but let me tell you this: it's already too late."
Mo Yu clenched his fists tightly, and the battle energy within him surged out without reservation. His bones cracked and popped as his energy flooded through him, accompanied by the sound of crackling lightning. The violent aura in the air dissipated instantly.
"Boom!"
With a loud shout, Mo Yu's right fist gathered a massive amount of energy. His arm moved in a strange, powerful motion, and he punched forward into the space in front of him, aiming for where Lei Yin had vanished.
Just as Mo Yu's fist was about to hit the empty space, a slender hand suddenly emerged from the void. It carried the fierce strength of a tiger and swiftly struck Mo Yu's fist like a flash of lightning.
When their fists collided, a terrifying shockwave erupted. Cracks spread rapidly from under their feet, and the powerful energy shattered small stones on the platform into dust.
The three Lei Clan elders watching the intense exchange had their eyes flash with surprise. They quickly flew into the sky, forming hand seals and using their energy to create a barrier around the arena.
"Ugh!"
Mo Yu let out a low grunt. His toes tapped the ground, and his body swiftly retreated. He glanced at his right fist, where five claw marks resembling tiger scratches had appeared, and blood was seeping from them, staining his hand red.
Clearly, in this first exchange, Mo Yu had taken a slight hit. Despite his deep foundation, Lei Yin, one of the Lei Clan's top geniuses, was no pushover. With Mo Yu's five-star Dou Zun strength, he couldn't yet match Lei Yin's eight-star power head-on.
"Black Thunder Captain, you've achieved great things despite growing up outside the clan. You've certainly proven yourself worthy of a Divine Bloodline, but today, I will defeat you!"
Lei Yin's face was serious as he looked at Mo Yu. He formed a hand seal, and a fierce palm strike shot toward Mo Yu.
Mo Yu's feet flickered with lightning as he swiftly dodged Lei Yin's powerful attack.
"Storming Starcloud Slash!"
With his first strike missing, Lei Yin's momentum grew even stronger. His hand moved in a blur, leaving afterimages as one fierce palm after another flew toward Mo Yu.
The "Storming Starcloud Slash" was a technique Lei Yin had developed himself, and he had mastered it to an incredible degree. Combined with his immense energy, it was truly terrifying.
"Hmph, Heaven Thunder Body!"
Seeing the wave of energy palm strikes heading his way, Mo Yu's face tensed. With a single thought, he pushed the second level of his Heaven Thunder Body to its limit, causing the energy within him to skyrocket.
Eight-star Dou Zun!
"Divine Might Black Thunder Spear!"
Mo Yu grasped the air, and a black spear appeared in his hand. Countless spear shadows flickered into existence around him, filling the area within a ten-foot radius in just a moment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The energy palms struck the spear shadows like chain explosions, creating waves of energy that shook the entire square.
The onlookers around the square watched the fierce battle with growing excitement. Many wondered how this confrontation between the Black Thunder Captain, with his Divine Bloodline, and the Lei Clan's old genius, General Lei Hu, would end.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed through the arena. A figure was knocked back through the air, landing heavily on the ground after taking a few steps back.
It was Lei Yin.
"How did your strength increase so much? Is it… the Divine Bloodline?" Lei Yin said in shock, sensing the sudden surge in Mo Yu's power.
"Probably," Mo Yu responded calmly, neither confirming nor denying it.
The power boost came not from a Dou Emperor bloodline, but from Mo Yu's own unique constitution. However, he didn't bother explaining that in this situation.
"As expected from the Divine Bloodline. In that case, let me witness the power that the Lei Clan hasn't seen in thousands of years!"
Feeling the immense pressure from Mo Yu, Lei Yin's expression turned serious. He grasped his hand, and a long spear appeared.
The spear was crafted from the tooth of a peak Dou Zun tiger-like magical beast. It radiated a sharp and deadly aura.
"Black Thunder Captain, you possess the Divine Bloodline, and I know I shouldn't be challenging you. But I, Lei Yin, refuse to accept that someone who grew up outside the clan can possess a Divine Bloodline and become the clan leader's son-in-law. However, if you win this fight, I will acknowledge you and even give up my position as general to you."
Lei Yin's thunderous voice echoed through the square as his aura reached its peak.
Hearing his words, Mo Yu was taken aback, his impression of Lei Yin changing slightly. Although Lei Yin was proud and ruthless, he wasn't unreasonable. Of course, Mo Yu suspected this willingness to yield was influenced by the awe a Divine Bloodline commands within an ancient clan like the Lei Clan.
"Thunder Tiger Spear Technique!"
Just as Mo Yu was reflecting on this, Lei Yin's expression hardened. He stomped the air and appeared above Mo Yu in an instant. His spear, glowing with a deadly red light, swung down, carrying the roar of a fierce tiger as it slashed at Mo Yu's vital points.
"Oh, not bad… quite a killing intent," Mo Yu muttered, his eyes narrowing as he sensed the fierce power in Lei Yin's attack. The immense energy inside him surged as his spear moved swiftly to block Lei Yin's strike.
With his strength boosted to the level of an eight-star Dou Zun, Mo Yu's deep reserves allowed him to suppress Lei Yin completely.
"Thunder Tiger Spear Technique, Tiger King's Wrath!"
Seeing Mo Yu's solid defense, Lei Yin's expression grew more intense. He quickly altered his spear technique, and his energy surged. In an instant, the energy from his spear coalesced into a massive tiger-shaped phantom, and with a flash of lightning, it shot toward Mo Yu's throat.
As the fierce tiger phantom closed in, Mo Yu snorted coldly. The Primal Ancestor Thunder within him burst out, wrapping his Divine Might Black Thunder Spear in purple-gold lightning, which clashed with the tiger phantom.
Ding!
At the moment of impact, the entire square trembled violently. A terrifying wave of energy rippled outward from the two combatants, sending shockwaves through the arena. Even Dou Zun experts watching felt their hearts tremble at the sight.
"Not good!"
Sensing the overwhelming power, the three Lei Clan elders sprang into action. They formed a triangle around the arena and combined their energies to create a massive thunder cage that contained the purple-gold lightning storm.
"What terrifying lightning… Where did the Black Thunder Captain obtain such a powerful force?" Elder Lei Xuan murmured in shock as he watched the scene.
Amidst the shocked crowd, the tide of battle shifted suddenly!
"Break!"
With a low grunt, Mo Yu's Primal Ancestor Thunder obliterated the tiger phantom completely. In the same instant, Mo Yu's spear struck Lei Yin's weapon with overwhelming force, sending it flying out of his hands.
"Defeat!"
Mo Yu lunged forward like an eagle, aiming a powerful palm strike at Lei Yin's chest.
Lei Yin, caught off guard by the swift destruction of his attack, could do nothing as Mo Yu's palm struck his chest.
Boom!
As Mo Yu's palm hit, a surge of powerful thunder energy erupted from his body, overwhelming Lei Yin. The pressure made Lei Yin's face turn red, and he coughed up blood.
Lei Yin's body was flung through the air like a broken kite, crashing into the ground with a loud thud, creating a deep crater.
The outcome was clear.
