Chapter 127 Not Dead

He didn't have time to recover from his injuries, staggering to his feet and looking at the sky. The intense explosions had dissipated, and two figures fell powerlessly from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.

Wan Liuchuan’s meridians were broken, and countless bones were shattered. He lay on the ground, on the verge of death, with no strength left to fight.

Not far from him lay Duanmu Feng, in the same condition.

In fact, Duanmu Feng was in even worse shape than Wan Liuchuan. After all, he had been paralyzed by the lightning strikes first, and when the explosion hit, he couldn't even use his cultivation to defend himself.

Now, Duanmu Feng lay there, barely clinging to life.

Wan Lei staggered to Wan Liuchuan's side and smiled with relief when he saw that Wan Liuchuan was still alive.

Wan Liuchuan also smiled wryly.

Fortunately,

they were both alive.

Wan Lei picked up Wan Liuchuan's long saber.

Wan Liuchuan's eyes narrowed suddenly.

As expected, he still wanted to kill him.

If I were him, I probably wouldn't let go of the strongest young prodigy of the opposing faction.

Do it, Wan Lei, kill me. You'll be the number one young prodigy of the Wan Clan's Southern Prefecture, the final victor of the heir competition, the Thunder Emperor Art... it will all be yours.

Wan Liuchuan looked at Wan Lei with a frankness tinged with indifference. After all, they were enemies, and their brief cooperation couldn't resolve the feud destined between their factions.

Wan Lei looked at Wan Liuchuan with confusion, wondering why he was looking at him like that. However, he didn't have time to waste. He needed to kill Duanmu Feng now. This was too good of an opportunity, and he couldn't let Duanmu Feng recover.

But he didn't have a trace of cultivation left. Being able to stand was already a miracle. He couldn't even lift the Thunder God Hammer, so he had to borrow Wan Liuchuan's saber first.

Watching Wan Lei walk towards Duanmu Feng with the saber, Wan Liuchuan instantly understood.

His eyes were filled with shock. He didn't know why Wan Lei wasn't killing him. Could it be that… this good-for-nothing Wan Lei was an even more upright gentleman than he was?

Wan Lei reached Duanmu Feng's side. Duanmu Feng's eyes immediately turned to terror. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he was too injured to speak.

Wan Lei wasn't one for idle chatter. He simply raised his saber and chopped off Duanmu Feng's head.

Holding Duanmu Feng's head aloft, Wan Lei looked at the now-calm battlefield in the distance and shouted, "Duanmu Feng is dead! Members of the Zhou family, surrender immediately! Brothers, we've won!"

"We won! We won!"

"Young Master Lei is mighty! Young Master Liuchuan is mighty!"

"The two great prodigies of the Wan Clan, Foundation Establishment strength slaying Core Formation!"

"Peerless geniuses!"

The Wan Clan disciples cheered. At their age, they were at the age to worship the strong.

And Wan Lei and Wan Liuchuan, with their actions, told everyone that they deserved such worship.

Wan Lei walked back to Wan Liuchuan's side, threw Duanmu Feng's head beside him, returned the saber, and then collapsed to the ground, unable to stand any longer.

Trembling, he took out some healing pills, consumed some himself, and then gave some to Wan Liuchuan.

Wan Liuchuan looked at Wan Lei solemnly and said, "Just now... why didn't you kill me?"

Wan Lei scoffed and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Look at their faces, listen to what they're shouting. If I killed you now, wouldn't I become the target of public criticism? Would your family let me off?"

Wan Liuchuan smiled wryly, but what Wan Lei said next was completely unexpected.

"Besides, if you died, who would I step on during the heir competition in a little over a month to tell the world that I am the number one prodigy of the Wan Clan?"

Wan Lei glanced at Wan Liuchuan, a conceited smile on his lips.

"Hmph, arrogant and conceited. If you and I were at our peak, I could kill you in one move."

As proud as Wan Liuchuan was, he could never agree with Wan Lei's words. Instead, Wan Lei aroused his fighting spirit.

"Even Duanmu Feng didn't dare to say he could defeat me in one move, and you can?

It's settled then. You can't die before the heir competition. I still plan to beat you severely and then trample your lineage down."

Wan Lei said with a playful smile.

"That will never happen. You better not die first. After all, there should be more people who want to kill you than want to kill me."

Wan Liuchuan sneered.

At this moment, with Duanmu Feng's death, the great formation that blocked the outside world slowly dissipated, revealing the surrounding scenery.

At the same time, people saw two figures flying from afar, exuding a powerful Core Formation aura.

The newcomers were none other than Wan Hongxin and Wan Honglin.

Earlier, they were trapped inside. Although they couldn't send out information, there were many Wan Clan spies nearby who immediately reported the news of their entrapment back to the Wan Clan.

And two hours later, the anxious Wan Hongxin and Wan Honglin finally arrived.

Looking at the shattered mountains and the corpse-strewn battlefield, they were shocked. With their insight, they could naturally tell how terrifying the battle here had been.

By now, many young disciples had helped Wan Lei and Wan Liuchuan up.

Wan Hongxin and Wan Honglin came before them, feeling heartache at the miserable state of Wan Lei and Wan Liuchuan.

Who would want to see their children with broken bones and severed meridians?

"Lei'er, what exactly happened? How badly are you hurt?"

Wan Hongxin asked anxiously.

"It was the Duanmu family. Duanmu Feng personally led ten Foundation Establishment cultivators and hundreds of Initial Force realm cultivators to surround and kill us."

A young disciple, holding Duanmu Feng's head, quickly said.

Wan Hongxin and Wan Honglin were also shocked when they saw the head. How could they not recognize Duanmu Feng? He was a Core Formation expert. But how could these Foundation Establishment juniors have killed a Core Formation expert?

"It must be my family's Liuchuan who saved your family's Wan Lei and killed Duanmu Feng. My family's Liuchuan is indeed the number one prodigy of the Wan Clan's Southern Prefecture!"

Wan Honglin immediately said.

Wan Liuchuan smiled wryly and said, "Uncle, don't say that. Brother Lei saved me twice. Although we defeated Duanmu Feng together, the idea was indeed Brother Lei's, and in the end, Brother Lei chopped off Duanmu Feng's head."

As soon as he said this, Wan Honglin and Wan Hongxin both looked at Wan Lei in shock. Who would have thought that Wan Lei would be so strong?

Wan Lei smiled and said, "Don't say that. If you hadn't saved me in the end, I'm afraid I would have been blown to smithereens."

The disciples also chattered one after another.

"Brother Liuchuan fought Duanmu Feng alone for half an hour. He was so powerful."

"Young Master Lei planned the strategy and even killed three Foundation Establishment experts and injured seven Foundation Establishment cultivators. If it weren't for Young Master Lei's command and combat, we would have been defeated."

"Brother Liuchuan and Young Master Lei cooperated so well. The two of them beat Duanmu Feng into having no temper at all."
