The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor almost threw up blood on hearing Tang Jie’s request.

The Profound Heavy Water was one of the divine waters of the world, sharing the same status as the Pale Cloud Flame and Deicide Flame.

The Pale Cloud Flame’s specialty was transformation and flexibility while the Deicide Flame’s specialty was burning all to nothing, and the Profound Heavy Water’s specialty was absorbing and concentrating. A single drop of Heavy Water could hold countless spirit waters and Immortal springs. It was useful in both cultivation and battle and could be considered a supreme treasure.

As for the Holy Nullight Armor, it was a suit of divine armor the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor had made for himself using his own scales mixed with various divine metals, to miraculous effect.

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor was the finest weapon artisan among the Five Fiend Emperors. His Heaven Thunder Saber, Holy Nullight Armor, and Crimson Glow Pavilion Warship were all middle-grade divine treasures with incredible effects.

The saber was for offense, the holy armor was for defense, and the pavilion warship was a palace-type treasure that could be used to attack or defend, give chase or escape.

These could be said to be Thunder Blade’s four most valuable treasures.

In comparison, Silver Eyes had only his Deathless Heaven Pearl and cultivation chamber, seeming much poorer.

For Tang Jie to immediately ask for two of them was straight-up extortion, so how could Thunder Blade not be angry?

Moreover, he was well aware of how much wealth there had been in Celestial Saber City. The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor had cleaned that entire place out, but despite having a swollen belly, he still wasn’t satisfied, trying to use his son to get his hands on the Profound Heavy Water and Holy Nullight Armor?

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor’s anger was understandable.

Glaring at Tang Jie, he said, “Silver Eyes, do you have any idea what you’re asking for?”

Tang Jie waved his hand. “The Little Thunder Emperor humiliated my little sister. This crime is unpardonable, so either you hand over the Profound Heavy Water and Holy Nullight Armor or you give up on your son.”

“Silver Eyes, don’t you fear a war between our empires?” Thunder Blade bellowed.

“After we make the trade, you can come and fight me whenever you want,” Tang Jie coldly replied.

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor was in a thundering fury, but he wasn’t physically present, so he could only point at Tang Jie and say, “Silver Eyes, you’re ruthless!”

He disappeared, but he hadn’t said whether he agreed to the trade or not.

With the transmission over, the Mighty Sea Marquis crumpled to the ground. As the vessel for Thunder Blade’s tyrannical will, the marquis had been under a heavy burden.

Seeing this, Tang Jie coolly said, “Have the Mighty Sea Marquis go and rest.”

But he didn’t have him leave.

The two Fiend Emperors clearly weren’t done negotiating.

For the next few days, Tang Jie and Thunder Blade argued almost every day, openly cursing at each other as they haggled over the value of the Little Thunder Emperor.

Only those witness to this argument knew that two prestigious figures like this were no different from ordinary people when they were angry at each other. Once they put down their airs, their otherworldly majesty and peerless power all seemed illusory.

The two Fiend Emperors rolled up their sleeves and cursed at each other every day in the palace, issuing all sorts of profanity.

But in the end, the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor, his son held captive by the other party, had to yield.

After twenty-some days of profanity, Thunder Blade finally agreed to Tang Jie’s trade. Of course, Tang Jie also took a step back, agreeing to return the Little Thunder Emperor’s possessions to him.

The two agreed to make the trade at the Sky Mount, located on the border of the two empires.

This was one of the highest mountains of the Verdant Cloud Domain, and its summit was ravaged by gales throughout the year. Even fiends rarely went up to the summit, as it was so close to the Astral Wind region that occasionally gusts of Astral Wind would blow over the summit.

Two days later, the Sky Mount.

Several figures landed on the Sky Mount.

Their leader was an imposing figure wearing an imperial robe: none other than the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor, Lei Yuelong. Behind him were four fiends, all peak Transformation fiend kings.

Looking around, Lei Yuelong grunted. “Very good. Rushing here was worth it to get here a day early. As expected, Silver Eyes isn’t here yet. Qiong Mo, Liang Tu, Zi Ye, Feng Jiao, the four of you hide in the area. Once I get back the crown prince, wait for my order to unleash the Four Poles Heaven Stamp to suppress this scoundrel!”

“As you command!” the four fiend kings replied in unison. They dispersed to find safe places to hide.

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor then found a large stone to sit on, venomously grumbling, “Silver Eyes, you dare to use my son to extort me? Even if I can’t kill you, I’ll have you know the price for offending me!”

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor had already made up his mind to use this opportunity to teach Silver Eyes a lesson. He didn’t plan to kill him, but getting back his Profound Heavy Water and Holy Nullight Armor was a certainty. Moreover, the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor also needed to spit back up all the wealth he had taken from Celestial Saber City, as well as pay the price for his conduct. He didn’t want much, only for the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor to hand over his Deathless Heaven Pearl, and also his cultivation chamber and Imperial Ember Lotus Mantra. Ah, yes, he also wanted that little sister. Since this woman was the cause of all this, she also needed to pay the price.

Without all this, Silver Eyes’ strength and reputation were bound to plunge, at which point he could invade Silver Eyes and take some of his territory, thus strengthening his own faction. In the future, he might even be able to surpass Aurora and become the number one Fiend Emperor.

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor privately complimented himself for his schemes as he dreamed about the future. All the time he had spent haggling had actually been to buy time to plan all this, to build up for a counterattack so that he could turn misfortune into fortune, danger into opportunity!

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor felt like he could already see the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor under his feet, and he tightened his grip on his Heaven Thunder Saber.

One day later, two figures flew out from the distance.

One was Tang Jie, and next to him was the Little Thunder Emperor.

He really had come alone with the Little Thunder Emperor.

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor was delighted. Suppressing his joy, he scowled and stood up. “Silver Eyes, you’re late.”

“Not too late,” Tang Jie said as he landed in front of Thunder Blade. “And the goods?”

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor grunted and threw out a jade bottle and a black suit of armor that seemed to devour all light.

Tang Jie took the bottle and saw a dark drop of water inside, seemingly brimming with weight. While there was only one drop, it contained a sea of water and was immensely heavy, so heavy that Tang Jie needed to circulate a little spiritual energy in order to hold it up.

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor scoffed, thinking to himself that at least he was superior to this bastard when it came to physical strength.

He then said, “Can you give me back my son now?”

“Of course.” Tang Jie chuckled and pushed the Little Thunder Emperor toward Thunder Blade.

Thunder Blade caught him, and with a few slaps from his hand, he undid the seals on his son’s body. “Son, you’ve had it tough.” He then turned to Tang Jie and snarled, “Silver Eyes, you dare to extort me! If you know your place, you had better return those things to me, and also hand over your Deathless Heaven Pearl as compensation, and then I’ll let you go. Or else…”

“Or else you’ll call out your four fiend kings and have them use the Four Poles Heaven Stamp on me?” Tang Jie scornfully replied.

What?

Thunder Blade was startled.

Tang Jie casually went on, “You have your plans, so why can’t I have mine? Did you really think the seals on your son’s body were that easy to undo?”

As he spoke, the Little Thunder Emperor yelped and collapsed to the ground, his entire body convulsing.

“Son!” The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor rushed to help up his son.

But as he helped his son up, he suddenly felt danger.

This alarm came from nowhere, but it was the sharp intuition of an expert who had been through countless mortal clashes. Entirely through instinct, the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor applied a powerful barrier upon himself.

It was only because of his ability to cast arts with a thought that this could happen so quickly. As his Thunder Barrier took form, the Little Thunder Emperor suddenly looked up at the Fiend Emperor and gave a queer smile. At the same time, his right arm blasted forward in a punch aimed at the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor’s belly!

“Devil Crushing Fist!”

Raaaa!

There was a heaven-shaking roar as the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor was blasted into the sky, the punch having almost emptied out his guts, stunning every fiend that witnessed this sight.

“You aren’t my son!” the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor howled as he took medicine to suppress his wounds.

“You only just figured that out?” The Little Thunder Emperor slowly rose to his feet, his face changing into Tang Jie’s. But he didn’t try to stop the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor from taking medicine, as he needed time to recover from using the Devil Crushing Fist. Follow current novls on ovl(ꜰ)ir(e).nt

Both sides turned passive as they focused on their own recovery instead.

But the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor wasn’t satisfied, shouting, “Where is my son?”

The nearby Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor turned into Yiyi.

Giggling, she said, “Your son is here.”

She waved her hand, sending something flying into the hands of the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor. It was the head of the Little Thunder Emperor.

“NO!” The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor couldn’t control himself when he saw his son’s head. “Kill them!”

The four fiend kings appeared.

Eight arms were raised, and eight beams of light shot into the sky, converging into a resplendent golden light that descended upon the world.

Yiyi laughed. “It’s useless. Rise!”

As she raised a hand, a brighter light appeared around the four fiend kings, immobilizing the Four Poles Heaven Stamp the four fiend kings had summoned.

“A formation?” the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor said in shock. “You laid out a formation here? So you were here even before I was!”

“You only made plans one day ahead, but we started making our preparations from the day we captured your son,” Yiyi said with a smirk.

“No wonder you demanded my Holy Nullight Armor… It was to make it easier to kill me, no?” the Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor venomously said.

Yiyi clapped her hands and laughed. “Exactly! As for the Profound Heavy Water, that was just a cover. We thought that without the Holy Nullight Armor, an ambush from ‘the Little Thunder Emperor’ could take you down with one strike, but to our surprise, you lived. Sure enough, a Divine Division great fiend isn’t easy to deal with. Fortunately, my big brother’s Devil Crushing Fist wasn’t a waste. You’re so heavily injured now that my big brother can stand a fighting chance against you.”

The Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor cried out in realization, “So you had planned this all out long beforehand!”

“Correct. This entire operation was meant to target you, Thunder Blade Fiend Emperor.” Tang Jie activated his Divine Connection, growing an additional head and two arms, and then he said in a grim tone, “After all, the Thunder Emperor has to be more valuable than the Little Thunder Emperor, right? Ten Extinctions Blade!”
