Wu Family’s leading youth, holding a large bell, stood at the forefront, constantly resisting the attacks of myriad lightning bolts.

But Wan Lei was almost at his peak, facing a mere four opponents, making it an easy task.

Wan Lei's attacks were extremely fierce. With the double protection of the Thunder Armor and Lei Yu armor, he withstood all of their attacks while constantly unleashing lightning to strike them.

The other three members of the Wu Family, whose cultivation was inferior to their leader, dared not approach Wan Lei for close combat.

They had witnessed Wan Lei's physical strength and defensive capabilities. He was like a giant tortoise, impossible to break through. Moreover, his physical power was immense; being struck by his hammer would result in shattered bones and pulverized flesh.

However, their reluctance to engage in close combat didn't mean they could avoid being hit.

As everyone knew, the Thunder God was a mage disguised as a warrior.

While Wan Lei was fighting the Wu Family’s leader, the lightning from the sky continuously bombarded the other three.

Moreover, these lightning strikes were guided by the little yellow dog.

Lightning containing the power of metal, the Heavenly Dao, and the origin of thunder crashing down upon them was an indescribably exquisite experience.

Under Wan Lei's relentless onslaught, the Wu Family’s leader gradually faltered, his injuries worsening.

"Thunder Wrath and Lightning Fury!"

Wan Lei retreated, forming a hand seal. A thunderous beast surged from his body, devouring the Wu Family’s leader in a single gulp.

"Explode!"

Wan Lei guided the beast, slamming it into the remaining three members of the Wu Family, causing a violent explosion.

The four members of the Wu Family were sent flying, collapsing on the ground, unable to rise again.

"Same as always, leave your storage bags and all your magical treasures, and I'll let you go."

The other three members of the Wu Family obediently threw out their storage bags.

However, the leading youth said, "Wan Lei, this Separation Bell is an ancestral treasure of my lineage. If I lose it, I will suffer a fate worse than death upon returning to my family. Please consider..."

"Did I give you room to negotiate? You can either choose to sever your connection now and give it to me, or I can kill you, causing the bell to become ownerless, and I will refine it."

"Is there no room for discussion? I can retrieve treasures of equal value from my family and give them to you… Ah!!!"

Before he could finish, Wan Lei smashed his hammer onto the youth's thigh, instantly contorting it into an irregular shape.

"Say another word, and the next hammer will crush your head."

"..."

The Wu Family youth fully embraced the valuable revolutionary spirit of preserving one's strength to fight another day, and unhesitatingly severed his connection with the Separation Bell, throwing it to Wan Lei.

Wan Lei took the bell, now only the size of his palm, and immediately established a connection with it using his divine sense.

The Separation Bell whizzed into his forehead and entered his sea of consciousness.

"This bell can suppress the sea of consciousness and resist divine sense attacks when not in use. When used, it can be taken out to suppress enemies or enhance divine sense."

After saying that, the Wu Family youth didn't want to stay for another moment and immediately crushed his identity token.

The other three did the same.

Beams of teleportation light descended, and the four members of the Wu Family disappeared.

Now, only the four led by Huo Xingyuan remained.

Seeing Wan Lei look over, the three people behind Huo Xingyuan retreated in fear.

They were as terrified now as they had been ruthless when they attacked Wan Lei earlier.

Two teams, eight people, all defeated in less than half an hour.

"We four... are probably no match for you. Wan Lei, let's discuss this. We can give you all the treasures we have, and you let us go.

Defeating a few more won't mean anything to you. With your strength, you will definitely be at the top. After this battle, all the major sects will be paying attention to you.

Enduring the siege of twelve opponents of the same rank for so long without dying is enough for you to join any major power.

So, Wan Lei, give us a chance to continue participating in the Myriad Pride Rankings.

We'll give you all our treasures, and we promise that we will never attack you again if we meet you in the future."

Huo Xingyuan's words did not elicit the slightest change in Wan Lei's expression.

In fact, Wan Lei didn't even look at him, but looked at the three behind him.

"You three, leave your storage bags, crush your tokens, and get out of the desert."

"Ah?"

The three were stunned upon hearing this.

"What about Huo Xingyuan..."

"I won't say it a second time. If you don't do it, I'll kill you."

Lei Shoye's tone was extremely calm, as if he were inviting an old friend to dinner.

The three hurriedly threw out their storage bags and crushed their tokens.

"Wan Lei, what do you mean by this?"

Huo Xingyuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"I'm giving you a chance for a fair fight with me."

"I am not your opponent."

There was nothing wrong with admitting this. Twelve of them couldn't kill Wan Lei, let alone him alone.

"Huo Xingyuan, I can let them all go, but you and I, one of us must die.

Blame yourself for having a foul mouth.

Even if the Wan Family has fallen, it is still the Lei Di Family (Thunder Emperor Family).

In the Thunderwind Realm, everyone mentions Lei Di with utmost reverence. Even the Fang Family Head would respectfully pay homage to the Lei Di portrait when he came to my Wan Family.

You, a mere descendant of the Huo Family, what right do you have to say that the Lei Di Family is not even as good as a dirt chicken?

Not to mention you, even your Huo Family's ancestor was just a disciple of Lei Di. Even if he were still alive today, he would still have to kneel when he saw the Lei Di portrait.

Of course you can kill me. If I die, I can only blame myself for being inferior. From beginning to end, I haven't said a word about you breaking the rules.

But what right do you have to humiliate the Wan Family?

Today, for the sake of the Wan Family, for the sake of Lei Di, I must kill you!"

"So that's it, haha, a good Wan Family, even though it has fallen to this state, it still maintains the pride of Lei Di.

I admit it was my fault, I apologize to Lei Di, I apologize to the Wan Family.

But I am a descendant of the Huo Family, I will not be timid again, Wan Lei, let's fight, even if I die, I will let you see the glory of the Huo Family's legacy."

"Today this battle, I am for the Wan Family, and you, are for the Huo Family..."

"No, I am for Xiaoyu."

"Huh?"

"Xiaoyu is the woman in my dreams. Although I have only seen her twice, she appears in my dreams every night.

Because of this, I even became obsessed with sleeping, just to be able to meet her in my dreams.

Even if she is in my dreams, she is still so high and aloof, and disdains me..."

"What's so good about that woman?"

Wan Lei couldn't understand. Fang Xiaoyu had only provoked him a few times, and he had already attracted the hatred of half of the Central Region.

The key is that no matter who he met, they all seemed extremely infatuated and worshipped Fang Xiaoyu to the point of madness.
