Chapter 829

Lei Ming stared at Zi Chen in a daze. He was touched but he did not agree with Zi Chen's words.

As a member of the Lightning Clan, he should have the Lightning Bone. However, the Lightning Bone also depended on the time. Without strength, having the Lightning Bone was akin to courting death.

Lei Ming was touched when Lin Fan helped him up. However, the touch quickly disappeared and was replaced by indifference.

He had encountered such a situation several times in the Five Eight Ancient Roads. Those who wanted to help him were undoubtedly interested in his special method of finding the Lightning Liquid Essence.

However, in the end, no one could protect him in the face of so many experts. In Lei Ming's opinion, this young man who had just arrived should have the same idea as those people.

Being slapped in the face, Du Ji walked over with the other two. When he got close, he said to Zi Chen, "Why? Do you want to protect him?"

Zi Chen turned his head and looked at Du Ji. He could not help but frown. This person was asking for help and yet he was so ruthless. How despicable.

A cold smile appeared on Du Ji's face. "Don't say that I didn't warn you. There have been at least eight, if not ten, fellows who had set their sights on Lei Ming. But what happened in the end? They either died or ran away. You want to take all the benefits for yourself?

With Zi Chen's intelligence, he quickly connected the dots after hearing a few words. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he asked, "I'm very curious. As one of the Four Ancient Clans, why is the Thunder Clan being looked down upon like this?"

"Haha."

As Zi Chen's words fell, laughter rang out from the surroundings.

"Four Great Ancient Clans? Stop dreaming."

"Are you really treating the Lightning Clan as one of the Four Great Ancient Clans? Are you really stupid? The Four Great Ancient Roads is just a compliment. There are only three Great Ancient Clans in the world. The Lightning Clan has long been eliminated."

Amidst the mocking laughter, Zi Chen finally understood what was going on.

"The Lightning Clan was originally one of the Four Great Ancient Clans. However, they have long declined and lost all their techniques. Now, they only have the ability to control lightning but no technique to control lightning." Lei Ming said. His voice was filled with bitterness and unwillingness.

Zi Chen suddenly felt something and asked: "You're not willing to leave because of the Lei clan's technique?"

Lei Ming nodded and said, "That's right. It's said that there are ancient race battle techniques here. Many people have gone to look for them. Even if they can't find any Thunder Race battle techniques, finding one or two ancient battle techniques is also not bad."

"Where did you come from? This is none of your business. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and leave. If you want the lightning essence, you'll have to line up. We'll talk after I get it." After being ignored by Zi Chen again, Du Ji shouted at Zi Chen.

A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes as he asked, "You're still so arrogant when you're asking for help."

"Hmph, get him to help? Stop dreaming. I didn't kill him because he's still useful. A mere Thunder Clan is already a thing of the past. A Thunder Clan without any combat skills is worse than a pig or a dog here." Du Ji said with disdain.

"Is that so?"

Zi Chen sneered, he looked at Du Ji and said, "If the Thunder Clan is inferior to pigs and dogs, then what are you?"

"What do you mean?" Du Ji stared coldly at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen said coldly, "Nothing. I just heard you speak rudely and wanted to kill you. Moreover, I used a lightning skill."

"Lightning skill? You're from the Thunder Clan."

Du Ji's expression changed, but he soon laughed and joked, "Haha, so you're from the Thunder Clan of the four ancient clans. I'm sorry for not recognizing you. I'm very curious, how strong is your lightning skill?"

Lei Ming was stunned by Zi Chen's words. He had never seen him in the Thunder Clan, so he couldn't be from the Thunder Clan.

The surrounding people watched the show happily. Du Ji was a late-stage Primal Core expert. A late-stage Primal Core Houtian warrior was undoubtedly powerful. In a one-on-one battle, he could easily defeat Lei Ming. This was also the main reason why Lei Ming didn't dare to resist.

After Zi Chen finished speaking, he released his Yuan Qi. However, he was only at the mid-stage Primal Core realm. After Du Ji sensed it, the disdain on his face thickened.

Following the release of Yuan Qi, silver snakes surrounded Zi Chen's body.

"As expected, you're from the Thunder Clan."

Du Ji said disdainfully, "Don't worry, if you lose, I won't kill you. I want you to be like Lei Ming, staying here and being ordered around like a dog. Your only purpose is to find the essence of the lightning liquid."

"I'm afraid it won't be as you wish." Zi Chen sneered. Then, he looked at Lei Ming and asked, "Do you have any mid-grade Yuan Liquid?"

Lei Ming was still in shock when he felt the pure yet strange power of lightning from Zi Chen's body. When he heard Zi Chen's question, he was first stunned, then he nodded subconsciously, "Yes."

"Take five drops first." Zi Chen said.

After Zi Chen's words, the surrounding people burst into laughter. They thought Zi Chen was very powerful, but they didn't expect him to not even have any Yuan Liquid on him.

Previously, the crowd was looking forward to a fierce battle. However, Zi Chen's actions caused their confidence in him to plummet.

Without hesitation, Lei Ming took out five drops of mid-grade Yuan Liquid, then asked, "Is it enough?"

After all, the other party was helping him and was also from the Thunder Clan. Although they were strangers, he would help if he could.

Zi Chen took the drops of Yuan Liquid and swallowed them in one gulp. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he said, "If it's just killing the three of them, it's enough."

As the Yuan Liquid entered his stomach, Zi Chen's exhausted Yuan Qi was instantly restored to its peak. The aura around him became violent, and the extreme yin Yuan Qi constantly surged, emitting a dazzling silver light.

Zi Chen coldly looked at Du Ji, then swept his gaze over the two men beside him, saying, "It's your fortune to die under the Thunder Clan's techniques. Now, come at me together."

"Shameless boasting, I can kill you alone." Du Ji angrily shouted, and the earth element energy around him became violent.

He was indeed weaker against a fire element cultivator at the same level, but if his opponent was someone else, no one would dare say the earth element was weak.

At the same time, the other two people beside Du Ji also began to accumulate energy. Obviously, although they spoke disdainfully, they were preparing to join forces.

This was the rule of the ancient road. As long as they could kill the enemy, there were no rules.

"I'll help you." Beside Zi Chen, Lei Ming's lightning energy also became violent.

Zi Chen shook his head, "No need, merely three Houtian Realm cultivators, I can kill them."

Just as Zi Chen's words fell, the three people in front of him had already launched their attacks.

Three earthen yellow fist lights surged with a terrifying aura, ruthlessly attacking Zi Chen. This was an earth element technique, and the fist lights were very powerful.

Silver light flickered under Zi Chen's feet, and like a bolt of silver lightning, he began to change, dodging the three fist lights in an instant.

"So what if you dodged the attack? I don't believe you can keep dodging." Du Ji shouted, and then his figure flashed forward, swinging his fist at Zi Chen.

At the same time, the two people behind Du Ji also stepped forward. Both of them held long blades in their hands, and displayed an extremely powerful earth blade technique among the earth element techniques.

Zi Chen's body turned into a silver light, and like lightning, he dodged the fierce attacks.

Such a miraculous footwork caused many people's expressions to change. More than half of them recognized this footwork and exclaimed, "Nine Passing Thunderbolts, this is the Nine Passing Thunderbolts, known as the world's fastest speed."

Seeing Zi Chen use a technique many times more advanced than his, Lei Ming was completely shocked, "It's really the Nine Passing Thunderbolts, and it's even more advanced. It's at least above the Five Passing Thunderbolts."

Zi Chen's footwork had already reached the Six Passing Thunderbolts, and his speed was extremely fast. However, in the face of the three late stage Houtian Realm cultivators' attacks, Zi Chen's speed slowly lost its advantage.

After dodging the attacks again, Zi Chen flashed back.

"Humph, do you only know how to dodge? What other techniques do you have? Hurry up and use them, or you won't have a chance." Seeing that Zi Chen only knew how to dodge, Du Ji's face was full of contempt.

Zi Chen coldly said, "As you wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Chen pointed to the sky and shouted, "Thunder."

As soon as the word was spoken, the sound of rolling thunder came from the heavens, as if heavenly thunder was descending from the ninth heaven. A unique pressure of heavenly thunder descended from the heavens, sweeping across the earth and wreaking havoc.

Under this terrifying pressure, everyone's expression changed greatly. When they raised their heads to look at the sky, they discovered that there were suddenly many more thunderbolts in the sky. These thunderbolts were like thunder dragons, faintly discernible in the clouds.

The word 'thunder' had summoned heavenly thunder. Such a scene shocked everyone present.

At this moment, Zi Chen was like a thunder god. His eyes were cold as he pointed at the three people from the sky and shouted, "Fall."

As soon as the word was spoken, the sound of thunder resounded. Heavenly thunder descended from the heavens towards the three people.

The rolling thunder resounded, and the heavenly thunder energy wreaked havoc. It was as if this place had become another silver world.

"This is the Thunder Summoning Technique. It's really the Thunder Clan's technique." Seeing so many heavenly thunder descending in front of him, Lei Ming was so excited that he could not speak.

This technique had long been lost in the Thunder Clan, but there were records in ancient books. The Thunder Summoning Technique could summon heavenly thunder with just one word.

This Thunder Summoning Technique shocked everyone. However, it was obviously unrealistic to rely on this to kill the three earth-elemental Heaven Martial Artists who were known for their defense.

When the thunderbolts in the sky dissipated, the three people appeared. Black smoke rose from their heads, and many parts of their bodies were charred black. They looked extremely miserable.

Earth-elemental Heaven Martial Artists had super strong defense, but this was just an appearance. In fact, the three of them had only suffered superficial injuries, which did not affect their combat power.

As soon as the heavenly thunder dissipated, the three of them rushed towards Zi Chen.

Zi Chen stood in the same place, neither retreating nor advancing. He began to form a seal with his hands. It was still the Thunder Clan Seal.

"Thunder Finger."

As the cold words fell, the void above Zi Chen's head suddenly split open. Dazzling silver light filled the sky again, and a huge finger print fell from the sky.

The finger print was abnormally thick and emitted endless silver light. There seemed to be thunder runes jumping on the surface of its body, and there were thunder snakes swimming around it. With a terrifying aura, it attacked the three people.

The other party used such a powerful Thunder Clan technique, which made the three people's expressions change drastically. After looking at each other, the three of them began to form seals to defend.

The Thunder Finger Print exploded with a loud bang, and the terrifying energy it contained exploded, wreaking havoc.

This attack was blocked by the three people working together.

At this moment, the three people's eyes were filled with shock. At the same time, they were extremely glad that they had worked together. If they had fought alone, they would have been seriously injured, if not dead.

"This is the Thunder Clan's technique. It's just so-so." Du Ji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly.

A cold smile appeared on Zi Chen's face. He said, "I just showed you the Thunder Clan's technique. Now, I will show you the real killing technique."

Zi Chen's back suddenly emitted rays of silver light. Under everyone's shocked gazes, a pair of silver thunder bone wings appeared on Zi Chen's back.
