Chapter 402
"You seem to be celebrating a bit too early," Blaze Regret remarked, a trace of mockery in his tone.
As the Silver Thunder Wolf was lifted into the air, Red, with its paw wrapped in Sun Flame, gently raised it, then stomped fiercely on the ground.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Accompanied by several crisp cracking sounds, sharp, pale yellow crystalline spikes suddenly burst out from within the Silver Thunder Wolf, causing its body to freeze in mid air.
Slender and sharp crystal pillars covered the body of the Silver Thunder Wolf, making it look like a giant spiked ball suspended in mid air, giving off an immensely intimidating aura.
Warm blood trickled down from the crystal pillars beneath the Silver Thunder Wolf, dripping steadily onto the bluestone ground below, staining it a vivid red.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the body of the Silver Thunder Wolf, which was gradually cooling. At that moment, time seemed to have come to a standstill.
"So this is the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat."
The scene in the ancient mirror froze at the moment the Silver Thunder Wolf lost its vitality. Kartis Kian's sharp nails lightly tapped the armrest beside him, and his eyebrows slowly furrowed.
It seemed somewhat different from what was anticipated.
"He must have cheated, how disgraceful!" Kartis Kian, seated towards the back, had her fairly attractive face slightly twisted with anger.
"Indeed, Blaze Regret must have used some underhanded means. Otherwise, how could he have defeated Kartis Van's Silver Thunder Wolf!"
Similar voices erupted among the younger generation of the Kartis family. They were unwilling and afraid to believe that Kartis Van, their leading figure, could be defeated by a ninth tier spirit Imperial master.
"Silence, all of you!"
Hearing the commotion from behind, Kartis Sham's already gloomy expression darkened further. He slammed the table beside him, and the entire plaza fell into a dead silence.
"Van'er hasn't lost yet. How disgraceful is all this noise!" Kartis Sham coldly snorted, causing the younger generation of the Kartis family to quickly lower their heads, not daring to even face his back.
"Hasn't lost yet..."
Muttering these words, a glimmer flashed in Mut Lin's eyes as he softly murmured, "This old fox Kartis Sham is really cunning. I was wondering why, several months ago, he was willing to pay such a high price to buy a fifth grade Soul Falling Flower from my Angsana Pavillion Shop. It seems young Blaze Regret is in for some trouble."
"Hiss!"
At that moment, the audience couldn't help but gasp. In the ancient mirror, Kartis Van was suddenly surrounded by strands of lightning, but the lightning was all a terrifying dark hue.
"You are good, really good."
With bloodshot eyes fixed on the Silver Thunder Wolf that had crashed to the ground, Kartis Van gritted his teeth tightly. A sinister grin suddenly spread across his face as he lifted his head to stare directly at Blaze Regret, revealing a set of sharp white teeth.

"Crackle!"
As Kartis Van clenched his fist abruptly, a mysterious, dark lightning began to swirl around him. A powerful wave of energy emanated from him, rippling outward in all directions.
A shadowy black thunder eagle flickered faintly behind him.
"This is..."
The powerful figures outside the ancient mirror, observing the thunder eagle hovering behind Kartis Van, showed expressions of intense shock on their faces. "Is this the Shadow Thunder Soul, which only the inner elders of the Kartis family can possess?"
"The weakest Shadow Thunder Soul is at least a second tier high lord grade, right? How could Kartis Van withstand it with his strength before entering the ancient land?"
"The only explanation is that someone used a Soul Falling Flower to forcibly suppress the power of the Shadow Thunder Soul and then implanted it into Kartis Van's spiritual core at the opportune moment."
"That's too despicable. Even some of the younger generation in the city couldn't possibly defeat a Shadow Thunder Soul!"
"Haha, I see it now. The Kartis family invited the descendants of the Flame Emperor this time just to kill him in the Thunder Abyss. It turns out Kartis Sham is just a hypocrite."
Voices erupted from different directions. Although the Kartis family was considered top tier in Snow storm City, a few independent cultivators, relying on their formidable strength, were not intimidated. Thus, the candid words that followed made Kartis Sham's face turn an ashen shade instantly.
"Kill him!"
Contrary to the excitement of the crowd, a sinister smile appeared on the faces of Song Sha and Wun Xiao. Besides the irreconcilable disputes, they also harbored resentment over Blaze Regret's previous victories over Song Fan and Wun Mon.
Therefore, witnessing Kartis Van reveal his powerful trump card brought them considerable satisfaction.
"Sizzle!"
The eerie black lightning flickered rapidly across Kartis Van's body, and the thunder shadow behind him began to solidify. Waves of powerful energy rippled outward swiftly.
Suspended behind Kartis Van, the thunder shadow was enveloped in a sturdy armor of lightning. Violent lightning surged from its lower body, allowing it to hover in midair despite its lack of legs.
This spirit beast was unmistakably the Kartis family's unique spirit beast, the Shadow Thunder Soul.
It is said that the strongest spirit beast of the Kartis family head, Kartis Sham, is a seventh tier high King Realms Shadow Thunder Soul. With a mere wave of his hand, countless shadowy thunders filled with terrifying spiritual power would descend from the sky, capable of obliterating a ten mile radius into nothingness.
"Do you realize that awakening the Shadow Thunder Soul prematurely will block my future spiritual path due to the backlash of the shadow thunder, making it difficult to open?" Kartis Van looked at Blaze Regret, his voice calm and soft, yet anyone could detect the underlying chilling murderous intent.
A silent wolf is the most lethal, unlike a barking dog.
"I didn't know."
Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently. "Even if I knew, so what? It has nothing to do with me. You awakened it yourself. Did I force you?"
