Chapter 633: I'll See it Through to The End!
“Nine Thunders Sovereign!”
“Your timing couldn't be more perfect.”
The Immortals muttered under their breaths.
It was clear why the Nine Thunders Sovereign appeared at that moment.
First, he paid his respects to Empress Zhao, then he descended in front of Yun Xiao, as if greeting an old friend. He inquired with genuine concern, “How are your injuries? Do you need more time to recover? If necessary, I can ask the Thunder Department to delay the remaining two battles for you.”
Yun Xiao shook his head, “No need. I want to fight the remaining battles now!”
From his words, it was evident how desperate he was to defeat An Yao and prove himself!
Thinking about it, it made sense.
His own father despised him and his mother, focusing solely on his own ascent, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Not only that, but his father had also taken a disciple, naming him An Yao... Wasn’t this a pure mockery of his own family?
“Now, Lu Yao is thoroughly one of us in the Thunder Department!”
“Lu Fan has practically pushed his own son into the arms of the Nine Thunders Sovereign!”
“The drama is getting interesting.”
Suddenly, the surroundings were abuzz with excitement.
Everyone anticipated the final showdown among the semi finalists!
The immortals resumed their honored seats.
Yun Xiao and the Nine Thunders Sovereign stood side by side at the front of the arena.
“Where is Thunder Emissary Cao?” Yun Xiao asked, his voice tinged with coldness.
“Her message should be arriving soon,” the Nine Thunders Sovereign replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Xiao received a flying talisman from Cao Shuo.
「Lu Yao, I am well and watching your splendid performance at the Hall of Soaring Thunder. I await your victorious return to the Thunder Department as its Arbiter, covered in glory.」Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
Yun Xiao pocketed the talisman.
“Do you have a preference for sisterly types?” the Nine Thunders Sovereign suddenly asked.
Yun Xiao glanced at him and replied, “I don’t have many friends in the Thunder Department. If more people truly care for me, I will genuinely dedicate myself to the Thunder Department.”
“Understood," The Nine Thunders Sovereign nodded.
“Do you dare to protect me? Are you not afraid of Lu Bufan?” Yun Xiao asked.
"In that case, let's proceed to the main event, shall we?" the Dragon Tiger Sovereign suggested.
"Indeed!" came the cheerful agreement from the gathered Immortals.
Except for the Thunder Department, no one really took sides; they only sought to observe. Only the Thunder Department, concerned with dignity and honor, eagerly anticipated the match.
Yun Xiao's exceptional talent, having survived Lu Fan's deadly attack, was too enticing... But only the Thunder Department dared support him, indicating the formidable power of Lu Fan!
All eyes then turned to Yun Xiao and An Yao.
An Yao spat out a straw from his mouth, cracked his knuckles, and made a jump shot gesture as if tossing a ball. After stretching languidly, he ascended the fighting platform.
"Truly cool..." Nine Kites murmured to herself.
Hearing this, Yun Xiao was somewhat speechless. That gesture, resembling a fool’s antics, was deemed cool?
"Whom do you support?" Yun Xiao asked.
"Of course, you—the hope of the Thunder Department!" Nine Kites quickly replied.
Yun Xiao looked at her with a resigned expression.
He knew there was only one way to overcome her demonic affliction.
His eyes sought An Yao, who stood upon the fighting platform. Even now, An Yao cocked his head, hands tucked into imaginary pockets, shoulders shrugged, his expression playfully scrutinizing Yun Xiao.
In his gaze was the mockery of one born to destiny, as if he knew himself to be the protagonist of the script.
“That look...” Yun Xiao’s heart jolted! He saw it! That look was strikingly similar to Lu Fan's.
“So, it’s come to this!” The fire in Yun Xiao’s eyes blazed higher.
“What?” Blue Star asked.
“There never was an An Yao; this man is Lu Fan’s body double! They are one and the same!” Yun Xiao declared.
“Oh?” Blue Star gave a deep look, slightly astonished. “Indeed, they are cut from the same soul, no wonder.”
“That makes this fight a tough one,” Red Moon added.
This foe, failing in his stealthy attempt at murder, now sought to execute Yun Xiao openly.
Having failed with his main guise, he had resorted to his alternate!
Given Lu Fan’s nature, if he aimed to kill someone, he’d never allow them any chance to grow; he seized any opportunity to strike!
This was truly the most formidable opponent!
Realizing this, Yun Xiao took a deep breath, rage flaring in his eyes.
“Lu Fan, this game of yours, I’ll see it through to the end!”
