Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

1093. Thunder Showdown

The next moment, Lei Jingxiao had vanished from his spot, his dazzling golden spear piercing straight into Lei Dong's chest. This astonishing speed startled even Lei Dong; Lei Jingxiao's growth in strength wasn't just reflected in his outward appearance.

From Lei Dong's palm, a purple-black lightning surged forth, and he slammed his palm heavily onto the spear that Lei Jingxiao had thrust at him.

Two bolts of lightning exploded in the central area, and bursts of lightning shot out in all directions one after another, but the two of them paid no attention and continued their attack.

Lei Jingxiao's spear techniques were extremely cunning and ruthless, constantly attacking Lei Dong's vital areas. However, Lei Dong stood still like a mountain, completely blocking Lei Jingxiao's attacks with a punch, a palm strike, a kick, and an elbow.

At a certain moment, the two seemed to sense each other simultaneously, their fighting spirit surging like a turbulent sea, and a huge ball of lightning gathered in their palms at the same time.

"Low-level Heavenly Rank, Mountain-Shaking Thunder Palm!"

"Low-level Heavenly Rank, Mountain-Shaking Thunder Palm!"

The same moves were unleashed by the two, and although their fighting techniques were the same, their cultivation methods and paths were completely different. Blue-white and purple-black lightning churned wildly in the central area.

The sound of dense electricity and the rumble of thunder rang out at the same time. At this moment, the two were so determined to prove themselves that neither was willing to give in!

Although this choice of standing firm and refusing to back down seemed unreasonable, neither of them was willing to be the first to give in!

A massive amount of lightning, under their control, accumulated continuously at the core, its momentum rising steadily with the influx of battle energy. Finally, after reaching a critical point, neither could control the explosion of the lightning.

boom--

Enormous bolts of lightning spread out in concentric circles, temporarily obscuring the figures of the two.

At this moment, only a few breaths had passed since the two began their battle, yet the intensity of the fight was already comparable to a life-or-death struggle between many Dou Sheng-level experts.

"Is this the true strength of the Thunder Clan's two prodigies?"

"As expected of the Thunder Clan's fighting style, it's truly exhilarating to watch!"

"Excellent, excellent! A fierce battle between dragons and tigers! With these two sons, the Thunder Clan is truly fortunate!"

Regardless of how those outside the arena view this struggle, and regardless of whose side they support, one thing is certain: they all believe that this struggle is of extremely high quality.

Both were prodigies of the Thunder Clan, and they disliked each other intensely, so their battles were always head-to-head. Most importantly, their strengths were now roughly equal, making a sudden, decisive victory impossible.

The spectators outside were already used to the ever-changing winds and clashes of powerful figures on the continent. However, the two prodigies of the Lei Clan still brought them quite a surprise this time.

"Teacher, there are some things I don't understand about this match, and I'd like you to clarify them for me."

While watching the battle, Wei Jiangyuan also took the opportunity to ask his teacher, the Elder Shennong, a question.

Upon hearing this question, the latter stroked his beard and calmly replied, "Go ahead and ask."

"Although I'm not particularly familiar with this family descended from the Dou Di, I understand the basic situation. Before the previous patriarch reaches the end of his life, they don't usually designate a successor. In fact, they often encourage competition. Why is the Lei Clan in such a hurry to do this this time? Is there some hidden reason?"

Shennong the Elder looked at Wei Jiangyuan with considerable admiration: "It seems you've improved somewhat these days, and aren't as unreliable as before."

"The reason ThunderClan acts unconventionally is that they must now choose someone who can lead ThunderClan in the future."

"Regarding this, I can only tell you that the Thunder Clan had a hidden trump card up their sleeve, but now they are forced to use it due to the circumstances. This method can also be used on their young people, but obviously the number of places is very limited, so they must use this selection process to choose someone who can win the hearts and minds of everyone as much as possible."

Shennong did not use telepathy when he said this, so Xiao Yan and the others naturally learned of it.

They had had doubts before, but because their relationship with the Thunder Clan was so ordinary, they couldn't find out. Now, seeing it this way, all their doubts were completely resolved.

Wei Jiangyuan sighed softly, "So Lei Zi's luck is really bad. If this had happened a little later, and he had a little more time, he would most likely have won easily."

Upon hearing this, the old man Shennong offered a pointed remark: "Heaven is both fair and unfair; it's impossible for every opportunity to wait for you when you're at your best. If you only complain about injustice whenever you encounter difficulties, you'll never become a true strongman."

Hearing this tone, Wei Jiangyuan knew that his teacher was once again giving him timely advice, so he readily agreed, "Yes, yes, I understand, I will remember!"

That's what he said, but Wei Jiangyuan's mind was already on the competition field, wanting to see who would win this crucial duel.

After a period of friction, the two fighters' fighting spirit was constantly being depleted, and extremely destructive and impactful fighting techniques were continuously being unleashed from their hands.

Lei Dong kicked Lei Jingxiao away again. After all, he was still stronger, and the current situation was more favorable to him. However, just now, he also had a cut on his shoulder, which was caused by the golden spear thrown by Lei Jingxiao.

"So difficult to deal with!"

Lei Jingxiao's recovery speed exceeded Lei Dong's expectations. Just a moment ago he was kicked away, but the next moment he was already tirelessly kicking up the ground again, protecting himself with blue and white lightning, like a wolf pouncing out.

Lei Dong extended his right hand, and a ball of extremely profound and radiant lightning condensed in his palm, which crashed down on Lei Jingxiao!

The black lightning rapidly absorbed the surrounding battle energy in mid-air, quickly expanding to encompass Lei Jingxiao entirely.

Streaks of lightning, like ripples, continuously surged downwards.

Seeing this, Lei Jingxiao pointed his golden spear in the void. He forced his body to spin in mid-air, and blue-white lightning condensed into a huge spiral.

The tip of the spiral is the golden spear in Lei Jingxiao's hand.

Two bolts of lightning intertwined in mid-air, their brilliance blinding everyone. Then, amidst the intertwining lightning, a slightly untimely flash of fire appeared.

"break!"

A transparent flame burst forth from Lei Jingxiao's body, becoming his surprise weapon and forcibly breaking the originally balanced interweaving of lightning.

The flames burned incredibly fast, rising rapidly and reaching Lei Dong in front of him.

Lei Dong looked at the flames and did not want to confront them head-on. As he retreated, his body began to feel hot.
