Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 37 One Trouble After Another
The battle had stunned Qi Manyao and the one-armed man in black. Neither of them had imagined that Wan Lei would be so fierce.
Relying on his own strength, and with the cultivation of the Initial Force Realm, he had actually killed a Foundation Establishment Realm expert!
In nearly a thousand years of history, only the youth named Wan Liuchuan had achieved this on the entire Qishan land.
Now, a Wan family youth had appeared on this list of heroic young prodigies.
Wan Lei!
"It's your turn."
Wan Lei smiled sinisterly at the one-armed man in black.
He looked disheveled, his clothes torn to shreds, his face covered in blood, and his body riddled with wounds, like a vengeful ghost.
His terrifying battle record had made the man in black extremely fearful. At this point, the man in black no longer regarded Wan Lei as an Initial Force Realm cultivator.
Which Initial Force Realm cultivator could kill ten Initial Force Realm level nine experts and two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators?
This wasn't something a human could do. That's right, Wan Lei was definitely not human; he was a ghost!
"Ah!!!"
The man in black was scared out of his wits and turned to flee.
At this moment, principles like never retreating, and the dignity of an assassin were all abandoned.
Being killed by a person wasn't scary; being killed by a ghost was!
These assassins had been attacking him for so long, forcing him to fight desperately to barely win. Wan Lei had long harbored a sky-high rage, so how could he let him escape!
Wan Lei immediately used Thunderous Escape, instantly flashing in front of the man in black.
The man in black was flustered and completely forgot to resist. Wan Lei swung his hammer from bottom to top, hitting the man in black's chin and shattering his jaw.
The man in black was sent flying and landed heavily at Qi Manyao's feet. Qi Manyao also recovered and seized the opportunity to chop her axe at the man in black's dantian.
A miserable scream rang out as the man in black's dantian was destroyed on the spot, turning him into a cripple.
After doing this, Qi Manyao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could finally interrogate the assassin properly.
However, the next scene made her eyes widen.
She saw Wan Lei raise the Thunder God's Hammer high, attract the thunder from the sky, and smash it down on the man in black's head.
Boom!!!
The man in black's head exploded like a smashed watermelon.
Qi Manyao shouted in astonishment, "Are you crazy? That was the only one left alive, and we still need to interrogate him! Don't you want to know their origins? Don't you want to know who wants to kill you?"
Wan Lei sneered, "Silly girl, you're really stupid.
First of all, this is a well-trained assassin who wouldn't reveal any information about his employer even if he died. Besides, this is just a small fry. Do you think he would know who the employer is?
Secondly, his jaw and tongue have been shattered by me; he can't even speak. What do you expect him to say? Are we going to search his soul? Don't be ridiculous. Unless a Core Formation Realm expert takes action, we can't search the soul of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator with our cultivation.
Finally, I know who hired them to kill me without asking. In this world, the only ones who want me dead every day are you and my Second Uncle's lineage.
Obviously, this person isn't one of yours. The answer is obvious."
Wan Lei's analysis made Qi Manyao understand.
Qi Manyao's mind was filled with thoughts. Now that there were no external enemies, she and Wan Lei had become enemies again, but Wan Lei's battle prowess was terrifying, and she couldn't kill him at all.
Instead of seeking death, she might as well go back and cultivate first, and then plot to kill Wan Lei when she became stronger in the future.
"Alright then, now that the enemies are all dead, I'm leaving."
After saying this, Qi Manyao turned and left.
"Hehe, I said last time that I would only spare you once. You've tried to kill me repeatedly, and you expect me to let you go? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"
Wan Lei looked at Qi Manyao's back and sneered, the Thunder God's Hammer in his hand gathering thunderous power again.
"Oh? You still want to kill me? Aren't you afraid that the other members of these assassins will come back to kill you?"
Qi Manyao sneered.
"Humph, if they wanted to kill us, they would have done so long ago. They wouldn't have just watched this team of assassins get killed. Only you and I are left in this place. In order to have some peace in the future, I'll have to ask you to die."
Wan Lei's killing intent surged.
"I admit, with this weather to help you, I can't beat you, and I can't outrun your instantaneous speed, but it won't be easy for you to kill me!"
As Qi Manyao spoke, her figure suddenly turned around, and her giant axe gathered lightning, as she charged towards Wan Lei.
Wan Lei didn't back down either, holding the Thunder God's Hammer and fighting with Qi Manyao.
The two fought for half an hour. Although Qi Manyao was always at a disadvantage, Wan Lei never managed to defeat her.
Wan Lei frowned. His reason told him that he had to kill Qi Manyao, but emotionally, he couldn't bear to kill this silly girl who was forced to join hands with him every time she came to kill him.
It had to be admitted that the two were enemies, but if they encountered external enemies, Qi Manyao was definitely someone he could trust to leave his back to.
This upright and silly girl, who always demanded a fair fight, was trustworthy.
Qi Manyao's heart was also filled with thoughts. In this half-hour battle, Wan Lei hadn't summoned a single bolt of heavenly lightning. He was only fighting her with his cultivation at the peak of the Initial Force Realm level nine. If he had summoned heavenly lightning, Qi Manyao would have been beheaded long ago.
He still doesn't want to kill me? He keeps saying that he will definitely kill me, but he can't bring himself to do it.
Where did the ruthlessness and decisiveness you showed when you killed those assassins go? Wan Lei, what kind of person are you?
Both of them were distracted and absent-minded, and their fighting was perfunctory.
Suddenly, Qi Manyao wasn't careful and was hit in the chest by Wan Lei's hammer.
She immediately spat out blood and fell to the ground.
Wan Lei was slightly stunned when he saw this.
"Hehe, I lost. Kill me."
Qi Manyao said with a bitter smile.
Wan Lei looked at Qi Manyao with a complicated expression, the Thunder God's Hammer in his hand gathering thunderous power. With just one strike, he could end the life of the girl in front of him.
"What are you hesitating for? If you don't kill me, I'll come back to kill you next time!"
Qi Manyao pretended to say fiercely.
Hearing this, Wan Lei's anger rose again. He had been holding back all this time, hoping that she would be able to escape after being defeated, but not only did she not escape, but she also stimulated him with words. Did she really think he wouldn't dare to kill her?
Wan Lei raised the Thunder God's Hammer in his hand, his expression fierce, ready to smash it down.
But could he really smash it down?
Wan Lei was finding it difficult to decide, and the hammer in his hand never came down.
He didn't hesitate for too long.
A sword light flashed and struck the hammer.
The hammer flew out of his hand and fell to the ground. Wan Lei was shocked and looked up, only to see a man in black holding a sword and slowly walking towards them.
Wan Lei felt the aura of the man in black, the same pressure as his father, undoubtedly telling him that the person who had come was a Core Formation Realm expert!
