Xiao Qing made her move. She did not use any Dou Technique, just the simplest grab forward.
A giant energy hand, hundreds of feet in size, formed in the air, reaching forward with an unstoppable might.
The lightning snakes unleashed by Thunder Venerable were no match for this enormous palm. Xiao Qing easily crushed the giant lightning snake as if she were squashing an earthworm.
The energy palm continued forward. Thunder Venerable's hair stood on end, and he desperately tried to escape, but the surrounding space seemed to have solidified, rendering him unable to move.
Thunder Venerable, the Pavilion Master of Fenglei Pavilion, a first-class force in the Central Plains, now seemed like a helpless toddler. No matter how he struggled, it was futile. He could only watch as the giant hand approached.
Xiao Qing changed her grab to a slap, like swatting away a small bug, and slapped Thunder Venerable flying.
Thunder Venerable spewed blood as he flew backward, crashing into a distant mountain peak with a thunderous roar.
With just one strike, the renowned Thunder Venerable was rendered incapable of further battle… The might of a Half-Saint was terrifying!
Xiao Qing looked at her palm and muttered, "Looks like I used too much force…"
She sniffled and patted Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's head: "Little Lion, let's go down."
Little Amethyst Winged Lion King landed in front of Thunder Venerable, stepping on flames. Xiao Qing squatted down, wiped her snot with the back of her hand, rubbed it on Thunder Venerable's clothes, and then pulled him out of the rubble by his clothes.
"Hey… Still breathing? If you're not dead, make a sound." Xiao Qing poked his nose.
Thunder Venerable didn't react, appearing to be unconscious.
"Sigh…" Xiao Qing sighed, "Why is he dead again… Little Lion, eat him."
Little Amethyst Winged Lion King gave her a look as if she were an idiot.
Thunder Venerable suddenly opened his eyes and coughed violently. Only after coughing up a mouthful of clotted blood did he catch his breath.
"Huh? He's still alive!" Xiao Qing said in surprise.
Thunder Venerable woke up and looked at Xiao Qing with horror. He never imagined that this little girl, who looked only about ten years old, was actually a Half-Saint!
What kind of family could cultivate such a monster? And how could they let a child of this strength run around freely? This was too dangerous!
Xiao Qing wiped her snot again, rubbing it on Thunder Venerable's clothes, and said solemnly:
"According to the rules between me and my friends, the loser has to acknowledge the winner as their boss."
"I only earned the title 'King of Children' by suppressing all my peers in my clan…"
At this point, she slightly raised her chin, looking very proud.
Thunder Venerable watched Xiao Qing wipe her snot on him, his face twitching. He was speechless about her title "King of Children."
Was such a title appropriate for a Half-Saint?
Xiao Qing crossed her arms, saying haughtily, "Now, you've lost to me too, so you have to acknowledge me as your boss… Do you submit or not?"
Thunder Venerable was silent for a long time before he said in a deeply conflicted voice, "I submit!"
That slap earlier had knocked the fight out of him. All the arrogance of a Dou Venerable expert was insignificant before the great power of a Half-Saint!
He, the dignified Thunder Venerable, never expected to one day be reduced to sitting at the same table with a child!
Thunder Venerable reluctantly propped himself up with his hands, put a healing pill into his mouth, and began to circulate his energy to recover.
He didn't take too long, just a brief recovery, then looked at Xiao Qing with a complicated expression and said, "I will go and recall the Fenglei Pavilion forces now."
Xiao Qing tilted her head, confused, "Why?"
Thunder Venerable's expression stiffened, "Isn't that person your cousin?"
Xiao Qing replied, "Clan Leader Uncle said that no Dou Venerable should attack him. As for those below Dou Venerable… whatever. If cousin dies, then he dies…"
"Is this intending to use my Fenglei Pavilion's people to temper him?" Thunder Venerable felt a surge of frustration. He couldn't help but ask, "Why is there such a huge difference in strength between your cousin and you? What exactly is his identity, that he requires a genius like you to escort him?"
Xiao Qing turned her head and stared intently at Thunder Venerable, making him feel uneasy.
Thunder Venerable then remembered that no matter how much this person looked like a child, she was a genuine Half-Saint!
He said awkwardly, "I had no intention of prying, just a little curious."
"Don't be curious about what you shouldn't be curious about, or you'll lose your life," Xiao Qing said in an old-fashioned tone.
Thunder Venerable returned to Fenglei Pavilion. Although Xiao Qing said it was fine if her cousin died, he wasn't so magnanimous. After knowing that the other party had such a profound background, he still dared to let his subordinates pursue and kill him.
He summoned a person and said, "Go and inform Fei Tian and the others. Tell them they can only capture him alive. If they can't, don't force it. Self-preservation is the priority."
The disciple noticed that Thunder Venerable's aura was somewhat chaotic, and his heart trembled. He lowered his head and respectfully said, "Yes."
…
In a valley near Thunder Prison Mountain, strong winds enveloped it all year round. Even a Dou King dared not wander recklessly inside.
The sky was overcast, and thunder rumbled intermittently. Silver lightning snakes weaved through the thick clouds like living creatures.
The four Elders of Fenglei North Pavilion, Wind, Thunder, Lightning, and Cloud, each led a group of people, surrounding the valley from four directions.
Above the valley, an old man in silver robes stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were also a chilling silver-white.
Feng Qing'er stood on a colorful giant crane and said to Fei Tian, "I'm counting on Pavilion Master Fei. You must kill this person."
Fei Tian said with a slightly solemn expression, "He secretly learned my Fenglei Pavilion's secret technique and killed the West Pavilion Master. His crimes are unforgivable. Of course, I won't let him go."
Though he said this, he hesitated to act, merely surrounding without attacking.
His strength was slightly stronger than the West Pavilion Master, but not by much. Since the enemy could kill the West Pavilion Master, then he could also be killed!
Therefore, after locating Xiao Yan, he immediately sent a message to the East Pavilion Master, Thunder Venerable.
Although the opponent was strong, he was still within the realm of a Dou Ancestor and could never contend with a Dou Venerable.
A disciple riding a black eagle flew over quickly. He came before Fei Tian, bowed slightly, and sent a letter to Fei Tian's hand with Dou Qi:
"Pavilion Master, these are Thunder Venerable's instructions."
Fei Tian frowned slightly. Thunder Venerable's absence gave him a bad premonition.
After unfolding the letter and quickly scanning it, Fei Tian's expression became solemn.
Only allowed to capture alive?
Not to force it, self-preservation is the priority?
What did this mean? Fei Tian thought for a long time, combining it with Xiao Yan's age, and finally thought of a possibility.
Thunder Venerable had been threatened!
The one who threatened him was very strong, and Fenglei Pavilion couldn't afford to provoke them!
Not letting us retreat immediately, is someone trying to use us as a whetstone for their genius?
Fei Tian was startled by his own guess, his expression uncertain and surprised.
