Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 34 Stormy Night of Murder
"Think about it. Not only will we perfectly complete the mission, but we'll also bring back such a charming and lovely beauty to the gang leader. How happy would he be? There will definitely be rewards for us then.
"I heard that the client gave a lot of money and treasures this time. They're a big spender."
The leader's face was full of lewd smiles, and his eyes flashed with sinister light.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's sneak over there and catch them off guard."
The subordinate also said with a chuckle.
Wan Lei, who was fighting fiercely with Qi Manyao, heard the same voice from before in his mind again.
"Be careful, three Foundation Establishment lower stage and ten Initial Force ninth-level assassins have surrounded you. These are real killers."
Wan Lei was shocked when he heard this, and immediately forced Qi Manyao back, jumped out of the battle circle, and nervously said in his mind with his divine sense:
"Thank you, Senior. I wonder if Senior can tell me your name? Wan Lei will definitely repay you for saving my life twice."
"Hmph, with your weak chicken appearance, how could you possibly repay this old man? When you are qualified to stand in front of this old man, you will naturally know who I am."
The voice snorted coldly.
"Don't be like that, Senior. Please be a good person to the end. There are three Foundation Establishment cultivators, plus the one in front of me, that's four Foundation Establishment cultivators. I will surely die. Can you please be a good person to the end and save my life?"
Wan Lei did not miss the opportunity to grab this life-saving straw.
"Alright, for the sake of... I'll give you a bolt of lightning power that can kill one Foundation Establishment cultivator. You can figure out the rest. If you can't even solve these small thieves, then it would be a waste for this old man to help you so much.
"I helped you improve your intelligence so that you would have more ways to protect yourself during your weak period."
After the voice finished speaking, it disappeared directly.
Wan Lei was shocked when he heard this. Are there really powerful people in this world who can improve a person's intelligence? This is countless times more difficult than improving cultivation.
Why would this powerful being want to help him, why would he want to improve his intelligence?
Also, what does it mean to be qualified to stand in front of him? How does one become qualified?
Unfortunately, no matter how Wan Lei called out, the voice never appeared again, as if it had really abandoned Wan Lei and asked him to find a way to solve the powerful enemy himself.
Wan Lei felt that there was an additional lightning power in his dantian. This lightning power was not integrated into the lightning power in his body, but existed independently.
But Wan Lei clearly felt the terrifying pressure of this lightning power.
Lightning power is also divided into levels. The lowest level is the lightning power refined by cultivators, followed by natural lightning, the five elements, lightning nurtured by heaven and earth, and the highest level is the lightning of the Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Tribulation Lightning is the lightning of the Heavenly Dao, and it was the lightning that Wan Lei could use in his previous life, and it is also the support for his rapid improvement in this life.
But this lightning power was clearly higher in rank than the lightning of the Heavenly Dao.
How is this possible? The lightning of the Heavenly Dao is the strongest lightning, how could there be lightning that is higher than the lightning of the Heavenly Dao?
"Hey, are you going to fight or not? If you keep spacing out, I won't let you anymore."
Qi Manyao looked at Wan Lei's dazed appearance and couldn't help but remind him.
Damn it, why did I remind him? I'm here to kill him, but why did I remind him? Could it be that I don't want him to die? ... Impossible, I must just want to have a fair fight with him, that must be it.
Qi Manyao comforted herself, but Wan Lei looked at her with a cold smile.
"It seems that you are still not confident in yourself. In order to kill me, you actually called so many people here. I really underestimated you."
Wan Lei had a mocking smile on his lips.
Qi Manyao was confused by Wan Lei's words, frowned and shouted, "I always go on missions alone, and I want a fair duel. How could I find someone else to deal with you? Can't I solve you, a mere Initial Force cultivator?"
This sentence gave Wan Lei two pieces of information.
First, Qi Manyao is killing him for a mission, so who is giving her the mission? Seeing Qi Manyao's righteous appearance, it is impossible for her to kill him for money. Could it be that there is an organization behind her?
The second is that those people were not called by Qi Manyao.
"Since you didn't call them, then they are here to kill you. Three Foundation Establishment cultivators and ten Initial Force ninth-level cultivators, what are you going to do?"
Wan Lei sneered.
Qi Manyao's face changed when she heard this, and she scanned with her divine sense, and sure enough, she found a dozen black-clothed people quietly approaching them.
"Hmph, if they want to kill someone, they will kill you. I usually have no enemies and no treasures that people covet. How could they be here to kill me!"
Qi Manyao said in a low voice.
Of course, Wan Lei knew that they were here to kill him. There were too many people who wanted to kill him, but he said this in order to drag Qi Manyao into the water.
"You don't have treasures? Little fool, your stunningly beautiful face and graceful figure are the best treasures.
"Think about it, if you fall into their hands, then you will be a little white rabbit falling into the mouths of wolves. You don't need to ask how they will treat you."
Wan Lei smiled sinisterly.
Qi Manyao's face darkened when she heard this, and she shouted嬌, "You lecher, watch me kill you!"
"Are you sick? Why are you still trying to kill me at this time? If you don't want to be eaten clean, join forces with me and deal with those assassins together, otherwise we will both die here!"
Wan Lei said through gritted teeth.
Qi Manyao also sensed the cultivation levels of the assassins and knew that she would definitely die if she was alone. Currently, the only way out was to join forces with Wan Lei.
"Okay, let's join forces and break out of here first."
Qi Manyao nodded.
Wan Lei and Qi Manyao stood together, but he was also wary of her.
This silly girl is like a religious fanatic and might give him an axe at any time. After all, she always has the mentality of not being afraid of death when she comes to kill him.
However, Wan Lei was completely overthinking it. Who would want to die if they could live? Qi Manyao is simple-minded, but that doesn't mean she's really stupid.
Seeing that they were not fighting anymore, but were standing together in defense, the assassins knew that they had been exposed, so they no longer hid their tracks and quickly surrounded them.
The leader looked at Wan Lei and sneered, "Wan Lei, today is your death day, surrender."
Wan Lei sneered when he heard this, turned his head to look at Qi Manyao and said, "I suddenly realized that every time you come to kill me, you always end up joining forces with me."
"Is that funny? It's not funny at all, I will still kill you next time."
Qi Manyao snorted coldly.
Seeing that Wan Lei ignored him and was still flirting with the girl next to him, the leader became very angry.
"Hey, Wan Lei, I'm talking to you, can you respect our profession as assassins!"
The leader shouted loudly.
"It's you who don't respect yourselves. What's with all the nonsense from assassins? Even if you don't say it, I know that someone paid a high price to hire you to kill me."
Wan Lei shook his head. How come everyone he meets is so simple-minded.
