Flesh and blood flew.

Everyone was stunned. No one was a fool, and they could all tell that Wan Lei had done it.

Qian Duoduo and the others stood in place, staring blankly at Wan Lei.

Holy crap, so bold? Killing Huo Ling'er in front of Huo Liuli?

What were you thinking, brother?

The closest people to Huo Ling'er were Huo Liuli and Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu.

Blood and碎肉 splattered all over them.

Fortunately, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were both wearing armor.

After all, washing clothes and such,

was too troublesome.

Huo Liuli was still frozen in place, the bloodstains all over him undeniably telling him that everything happening before his eyes was real.

Someone actually dared to kill a genius of the Huo family in front of him.

"Little thief, you dare to kill someone from the Huo family. Are you trying to make my Huo family your sworn enemy?"

Huo Liuli gritted his teeth, enunciating each word.

"Back then, on the Myriad Prodigies Ranking, Huo Ling'er tried to kill my wife. Now, I'm killing her. It's just an eye for an eye.

Her death means she was simply inferior in skill. What? Is your Huo family, a peak power, unable to accept the outcome of a junior's competition?"

As soon as Wan Lei said this, Qian Duoduo and the other background characters suddenly understood.

So, he had to kill Huo Ling'er to avenge Fang Xiaoyu. What a man…

But this was too impulsive. While it's a beautiful story to get angry for a beauty, one must also consider the situation. The reason this saying is a beautiful story is its rarity, and its rarity is because most people can't do it, because the cost is too high.

Now, the price Wan Lei had to pay was his life.

"Then if I kill you now, you can only blame yourself for being inferior in skill."

Huo Liuli slowly raised his hand, spiritual energy condensing within it.

"Wife, prepare for fusion."

"Mm, at this point, there's no need to consider secrecy. Survival is the most important thing."

Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu simultaneously activated their divine abilities. If Huo Liuli really made a move, they could immediately unleash the Wind Thunder Annihilation Slash.

They… also wanted to see the difference between a Mahayana stage cultivator and a Mahayana stage Thunder Beast.

They had killed three Mahayana stage Thunder Beasts.

Suddenly, Yue Lingxi stood up and walked behind Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, declaring her stance and readiness to fight alongside them.

After all, since they had chosen a side, they had to see it through.

Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu weren't fools. If you come to freeload when things are going well, but hide when things get tough, who would want to play with you next time?

Offering help in times of need is far more valuable than adding to someone's splendor.

Seeing Yue Lingxi step forward, Qian Duoduo slapped his forehead.

Damn it, he was stunned for a moment, and this little girl beat him to it.

Immediately, Qian Duoduo led his people to stand with them.

Their standing with them meant that the Yin Yang Sect, Kui Lian Sect, and the Fang family were all exerting pressure on Huo Liuli.

"Heh, do you really think I'll care about the face of your families? This little thief has insulted me today. If I don't kill him, how can I stand in the Central Region!"

After Huo Liuli finished speaking, the spiritual energy in his hand suddenly erupted and surged towards Wan Lei.

At this moment, Qian Duoduo, Yue Lingxi, and the others still did not retreat. They had already taken up defensive positions, ready to withstand his attack.

This surprised Wan Lei slightly. These people were not bad. He would let them escape first later.

However, just as the spiritual energy was about to strike Wan Lei, a figure descended from the sky and repelled the spiritual energy.

Wan Lei and the others looked up to see a middle-aged cultivator emanating the pressure of the Mahayana stage.

"It's alright now."

Fang Xiaoyu dispersed her armor and said to Wan Lei.

"You know him?"

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu had said so, Wan Lei also dispersed his armor. His trust in his wife was absolutely one hundred percent.

"Xiaoyu greets Uncle Liufeng."

Fang Xiaoyu bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Elder Fang."

Qian Duoduo and the others also paid their respects.

Well, everyone knows him except me.

"Mm, Xiaoyu, you go to the side first, and let your uncle deal with this old thief."

Fang Liufeng said with a smile.

"Fang Liufeng, for your sake, I can spare the others, but this Wan Lei must die!"

"Die, you idiot. Get out of the way."

Fang Liufeng cursed with a sly smile.

"You!"

Huo Liuli's expression changed drastically, and he stared intently at Fang Liufeng.

"Today, the Patriarch received intelligence that our Princess Xiaoyu and Wan Lei were in the Wood Immortal Secret Realm. He immediately sent word for me to find Princess Xiaoyu and protect her.

Fortunately, I arrived in time. Otherwise, our little princess would have died at your hands, old man."

Fang Liufeng smiled sinisterly. Princess Xiaoyu had been missing for five years. Now that she had finally returned, if she were really killed by this Huo family member, Fang Huifeng's fury might directly lead to a declaration of war against the Huo family.

"I said, I only want to kill Wan Lei…"

"You can't even kill Wan Lei. The Patriarch said that Wan Lei is the prospective son-in-law of the Fang family. If it's a competition among juniors, then it's fate, each relying on their own abilities. If any old fossil dares to make a move, it's equivalent to declaring war on the Fang family!

Wan Lei, my Fang family will protect him!"

Fang Liufeng drew his sword, ready to fight Huo Liuli at any moment.

Young Master Lei was overjoyed upon hearing Fang Liufeng's words.

Well, it seems my good brothers were quite efficient. They got things done in just two days. It looks like they even told Old Fang about my relationship with Xiaoyu.

Old Fang is also quite decent. Seeing him publicly acknowledge me as his prospective son-in-law and have a Fang family elder unreservedly protect me, this means he acknowledges my relationship with Xiaoyu.

In that case, the situation in the illusion where the Fang family disagreed with our relationship and confined Xiaoyu wouldn't happen. Good, it just means everything in the illusion was fake.

Since Old Fang is so righteous, should I pit-stop him less in the future?

Looking at Fang Liufeng's back, Wan Lei suddenly felt a sense of "eating soft rice."

In the past, he had always solved any problem by himself. Suddenly having a powerful backer who allowed him to eat soft rice, this feeling…

Was not shameful at all.

It was truly fragrant!!!

"Huo Liuli, I also want to remind you that Wan Lei is not just the prospective son-in-law of my Fang family. He is also a descendant of the Thunder Emperor and a core disciple of the Yin Yang Sect.

Do I need to remind you how protective the Yin Yang Sect is?"

Huo Liuli's expression changed instantly. If it was just pressure from juniors before, now he had to re-examine the two powerful forces behind Wan Lei.

Most importantly, with Fang Liufeng here, he definitely couldn't kill Wan Lei today.

"Fang Liufeng, mountains don't turn, but water flows. We'll see!"

Huo Liuli snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

At this moment, Young Master Lei felt his status elevated. These "legs" were truly thick!

Behind him, all his male peers looked at him with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

This guy not only "plucked" the most beautiful pearl of the Central Region but also clung to the two powerful forces of the Fang family and the Yin Yang Sect. Who would dare look down on Wan Lei in the future?

Who says eating soft rice is shameful?

I want to eat it too!
