Chapter 22 Brothers in Tribulation

Hearing this, Wan Lei felt a warmth in his heart. Although this guy was a playboy, he was genuinely concerned about him.

"Ah, I've been looking for something like this too. Your arrival is perfectly timed."

Wan Lei verbally agreed, but in his mind, he was figuring out how to trick him out of the city. If the Heavenly Tribulation struck here, countless people would likely die.

"These are nothing, Lei Shao! I've heard that the Liu family of Maple Forest Manor in the south of the city found a good treasure yesterday in the Lientian Mountains.

"It's said that they fought with demonic beasts, and several people died to snatch it back. It's a Millennium Thunder Punishment Wood!"

Sui Xiaohang said excitedly.

"Thunder Punishment Wood? What's it for?"

Wan Lei asked curiously.

"That's a great treasure! Thunder Punishment Wood can absorb and store lightning power. Aren't you going to undergo Heavenly Tribulation? This thing can be of great use, much better than these gadgets I bought."

Sui Xiaohang said.

In fact, Wan Lei didn't need it at all, but he heard that the place was south of the city, requiring him to leave the city. He could pretend to go with him, and then find a deserted place outside the city for Sui Xiaohang to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.

This way, he could also avoid harming innocent people.

"Okay, then what are we waiting for? I brought a lot of money. Let's go to the Liu family and buy it."

Wan Lei nodded immediately.

"Huh? Lei Shao, are you still you? When have you ever bought anything you wanted? Didn't you always just take it directly? Who would dare not give it?"

Sui Xiaohang looked at Wan Lei as if he were an alien.

Wan Lei's face darkened, and he said, "Brother, do less evil. Look, I've already attracted Heavenly Tribulation. Don't let Heavenly Tribulation fall on your head one day."

Thinking of Heavenly Tribulation, Sui Xiaohang shrank back in fear.

"Okay, okay, then let's buy it. I won't do evil in the future."

The two of them took their guards home, mounted their horses, and headed straight for the south of the city.

After leaving the city and galloping for a quarter of an hour, Wan Lei felt the aura of Heavenly Tribulation above his head growing stronger and stronger. There happened to be a forest ahead, so he led the group into it.

"Alright, stop. All guards, retreat half a li away."

Wan Lei handed the reins to a guard, instructing him to lead his horse away.

Sui Xiaohang's guards naturally wouldn't listen to him. They all looked at Sui Xiaohang, waiting for him to nod.

"Lei Shao, the Liu family is still far away. Why are we stopping here and sending the guards away?"

Speaking of this, Sui Xiaohang suddenly wore a lewd smile and whispered, "Is there some big secret you want to tell me? Should I have my guards leave too?"

"It's not a big secret. It's just that your Heavenly Tribulation is about to descend."

Wan Lei said calmly, looking at the sky.

"Oh, I thought it was something important… What the f*ck, my Heavenly Tribulation? Are you saying I also have Heavenly Tribulation?!"

Sui Xiaohang was a little disappointed at first, but suddenly he reacted and was scared witless.

"That's right. I've experienced Heavenly Tribulation and can recognize its aura. Your Heavenly Tribulation is coming soon."

Wan Lei said.

Sui Xiaohang cried out in fear, "Quick, protect me! Lei Shao, let's hurry back to the city and ask my dad for help!"

After saying that, Sui Xiaohang nimbly jumped on his horse, ready to flee.

Wan Lei grabbed his reins and said quickly, "There are too many people in the city. Your Heavenly Tribulation will kill countless people. Moreover, Heavenly Tribulation becomes more powerful with more people. You'll definitely die then."

"Then… then what should I do? Lei Shao, Lei Shao, you've experienced Heavenly Tribulation, you'll save me, right?"

Sui Xiaohang jumped off his horse and grabbed Wan Lei's sleeve tightly, crying with snot and tears.

The dark clouds gathering in the sky, and the terrifying pressure emanating from them, left Sui Xiaohang with no choice but to believe.

"Don't worry, we're brothers. How could I abandon you?"

Hmph, I won't tell you that I'm going to use your Heavenly Tribulation to improve myself.

Wan Lei was most willing to do such things that could both increase his strength and bestow favor on others.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I heard your guards were all struck to death. They must have strengthened the Heavenly Tribulation."

After saying that, Sui Xiaohang repeatedly scolded the guards, telling them to retreat far away.

Those guards had never seen Heavenly Tribulation, but they had heard that Wan Lei's previous guards were all struck to death. At their young master's command, they immediately scrambled away.

Then, Sui Xiaohang panicked and placed all the lightning protection items he had bought on the ground, hoping these things could save his life.

At the same time, he was very grateful. Fortunately, he was worried about Wan Lei and bought these things; otherwise, he would have been doomed this time.

Another quarter of an hour passed…

"Lei Shao, why haven't the dark clouds in the sky struck down yet? Does it mean the longer they gather, the harder they strike?"

Sui Xiaohang looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said to Wan Lei with trepidation.

At this time, he was like a prisoner about to be executed, knowing that death was inevitable, but still worrying about when the shot would be fired.

This feeling was the most tormenting.

"Lei Shao, Lei Shao, say something! I'm scared! When will the Heavenly Tribulation strike?"

Seeing that Wan Lei wasn't speaking, Sui Xiaohang quickly grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously.

"It's coming."

Wan Lei said in a deep voice, looking up at the sky.

"Ah?!"

Sui Xiaohang screamed in horror and looked up at the sky. He saw that the originally cloudy sky suddenly lit up, and a bolt of lightning struck down on him and Wan Lei.

Amidst the rolling thunder, Wan Lei grinned, shook his hand, and took out the Thunder God's Hammer. Instead of retreating, he advanced, meeting the lightning head-on.

Boom!!!

A loud noise came, and Wan Lei was struck to the ground by the Heavenly Lightning. After the Thunder God's Hammer absorbed the lightning, it transformed it into lightning power and transferred it to Wan Lei's body.

Good! This Heavenly Tribulation lightning is many times stronger than the lightning power of the cultivators in Liu'an.

Wan Lei clearly felt that the energy in his body had increased a lot. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before he could reach the Foundation Establishment stage of power in this world of cultivators.

But the premise was that he could withstand the lightning attacks.

Just now, he had withstood the lightning of two people alone, which was twice as strong as when he was alone yesterday.

Sui Xiaohang, who was attacked by the aftermath of the lightning, also climbed up from the ground covered in dirt and asked with concern:

"Lei Shao, are you okay? Don't resist so hard. If you can't hold on, just retreat! I can't drag you down to die with me."

"Don't worry, I have experience. What's more, we still have eight more Heavenly Tribulations to go, who knows which one we'll die in? Instead of dying cowardly, it's better for us brothers to resist together, to die together."

Wan Lei responded casually.

But these words, when heard in Sui Xiaohang's ears, made him extremely moved.

"Okay, let's resist together! Even if we die, we'll still be good brothers in the next life!"

After saying that, Sui Xiaohang was no longer timid. He picked up a piece of lightning protection stone and roared at the sky.

Wan Lei widened his eyes in surprise, thinking, "What the hell are you doing? If you draw the lightning away, what am I going to absorb?"
