"Besides, even if I surrender, do you think you'd let me go?"

Wan Lei said with a smile.

"Of course not."

The leader replied.

"Then why would I surrender? I might as well fight back."

Wan Lei said.

"It's just an opening line, isn't that what assassins always do before killing someone? It's the rule, understand?"

The leader retorted, stiffening his neck.

Are all the assassins in this world this stupid? Qi Manyao was like this, and so are these people.

While talking, Wan Lei calculated. On his side, there was only Qi Manyao. Assuming she could hold back one Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could handle ten Initial Force Realm ninth level cultivators without a problem. As for the lightning power given to him by that mysterious senior expert, he would trust that it could kill one Foundation Establishment cultivator.

That would mean the opponent still had another Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he would still inevitably die.

He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could simultaneously challenge one Foundation Establishment cultivator and ten Initial Force Realm ninth level cultivators.

If brute force wouldn't work, he would have to rely on his wits and find a way to maximize the strength he had.

The opponent had two Foundation Establishment early stage cultivators and one Foundation Establishment late stage peak cultivator. He would secretly gather lightning power and suddenly strike one of the Foundation Establishment early stage cultivators hard, injuring him, or at least temporarily paralyzing him.

Then, he would use the senior's lightning power to kill the leader, who was a Foundation Establishment late stage peak cultivator. The senior's lightning power should naturally be used to kill the strongest one. Qi Manyao would hold one back, and then he could take advantage of the first Foundation Establishment cultivator being paralyzed…

Thinking of this, Wan Lei chuckled strangely, praising the senior for helping him improve his intelligence. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to come up with such a good plan.

"Hey, brat, what are you laughing at? Are you looking down on me?"

The leader was repeatedly scorned by Wan Lei, and he was already getting angry.

"No, no, senior's cultivation is unmatched. This junior just feels honored to be fighting against a master like senior. I never thought that in my life, Wan Lei, I would actually cause your organization to mobilize so many people to kill me. I'm truly honored."

Wan Lei was talking nonsense to stall for time.

He hid the Thunder God's Hammer behind his back, gathering lightning power, and at the same time, he transmitted his voice to Qi Manyao, asking her to hold back one Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator and leave the rest to him.

Although Qi Manyao didn't know where his confidence came from, she didn't have a better idea, so she would trust Wan Lei for now.

"Ah, you little brat, you're quite good at talking. Then I'll leave you with a whole corpse later. After all, you're a young master from a wealthy family, it wouldn't be good if you died too horribly."

The leader laughed loudly.

"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior. Um, can I discuss something with you seniors?

This silly girl, I don't know her. Can you let her go? Just kill me. After all, having one more enemy will make it more difficult for you to fight, won't it?"

Wan Lei asked tentatively, looking like an impulsive fool eager to protect a beauty.

"That won't do. This little girl has a pretty face and a good figure. I want to capture her and send her to our gang leader. What's wrong? You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to be a hero to save the beauty? Don't dream."

The leader said.

"Don't be like this, there are plenty of fish in the sea, your target is me…"

Before Wan Lei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the leader.

"Enough nonsense, today neither of you can escape."

"So that means we can't come to an agreement?"

Wan Lei asked.

"The key is, why would I negotiate with you? You are now turtles in a jar, meat on a chopping board, at our mercy."

The leader said.

Wan Lei shook his head and sighed. "Since that's the case, I only have one last sentence to give to senior."

"Has it come to the stage of giving last words? Speak."

The leader said carelessly.

"That is, don't talk so much nonsense in your next life!"

Wan Lei's tone suddenly became fierce, his face twisted. Immediately after, he swung the Thunder God's Hammer in his hand, used Thunderous Escape, and instantly arrived beside the Foundation Establishment cultivator next to the leader.

Before that person could react, Wan Lei's hammer had already arrived at his chest.

"Ah!!!"

That person screamed, his body flying backward, heavily landing on the ground, his whole body flashing with electric light, twitching uncontrollably.

This was no joke. Wan Lei had used almost all of his lightning power, a fully charged strike that had been brewing for so long. How could that Foundation Establishment cultivator not be injured?

"You dare to play dirty, I'll skin you alive!"

The leader, seeing the miserable state of his partner, roared and slashed at Wan Lei with his saber.

Wan Lei sneered and slid to the side. Immediately after, the mysterious lightning power in his dantian was transferred to the Thunder God's Hammer.

He waved the hammer in his hand, and the lightning flew out of the hammer, directly striking the leader.

When the lightning struck, Wan Lei could see clearly that it was a bolt of purple lightning, exuding a mysterious charm that surpassed the heavens.

Lightning can come in all sorts of colors, such as the Violetgold Cloud Lightning used by Liu An earlier, which contained a trace of violetgold color.

The color of lightning can change, but most of it is a light blue color, containing a trace of other colors depending on the attribute, but Wan Lei had never seen pure purple lightning before.

The bolt of purple lightning instantly entered the body of the Foundation Establishment leader. Immediately after, the Foundation Establishment leader didn't even have time to scream before he was blasted into pieces.

Even the other Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator next to him was affected by the explosion and lost an arm.

This explosion stunned everyone. No one had expected that Wan Lei would have the strength to instantly kill a Foundation Establishment late stage peak expert.

Even Wan Lei himself was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and, according to the original plan, flew directly into the sky, drawing down the lightning from the clouds above.

He had used this trick before in the academy competition, but that day the sky was clear and he had used all of his cultivation to condense the thunderclouds.

But today, the sky was covered with dark clouds, it was raining cats and dogs, and there was lightning and thunder. It was simply the best battle environment created for him.

Almost unlimited natural lightning was waiting for him to use. It could be said that in tonight's battle, Wan Lei didn't have to worry about running out of lightning power.

The lightning in the sky was readily available. Wan Lei immediately drew down the lightning, empowered it with the Thunder God's Hammer, and manipulated the lightning to strike down at the black-clad men below.

His target was naturally all the black-clad men.

Boom!

Crackle!

The sound of thunder was endless. The ten black-clad men below were struck to death on the spot by the power of the heavens.

This time, Wan Lei didn't hold back. This wasn't the academy competition, but a battle of life and death. Plus, with the thunder in the sky cheering him on, of course he would kill to his heart's content.

Even the two injured Foundation Establishment black-clad men had their injuries worsened by the lightning.
