Chapter 21 To the Point

The moment those words were spoken, Qi Manyao, Sui Xiaohang, and Tiansuanzi's expressions turned extremely ugly, and they involuntarily took a step back.

The other party was a Core Formation Stage expert at the upper level, and feared that a single blow would be enough to kill them all.

"Damn it, I never thought that after nine deaths and one life, we finally arrived here, yet we still face certain death!"

Tiansuanzi gnashed his teeth and cursed softly.

Wan Lei looked solemnly at Ling Xiaozi, "Senior, if we hand over the token to you, what will you do to us?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiaozi's eyes lit up, his greedy gaze fixed on Wan Lei.

"Seeing how cooperative and obedient you are, I might consider taking you in. However, after entering, I get to pick the treasures first, and the rest are yours."

Wan Lei chuckled and said, "Cooperating with Senior is no different from seeking skin from a tiger. This junior really doesn't dare.

My fellow Daoist here said that if we're going to find a collaborator, we need to find someone we can protect ourselves against. If we cooperate with Senior, we might die without even knowing how we died.

So… we'd better go in ourselves, and not bring Senior along."

Hearing this, Tiansuanzi and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they anxiously sent voice transmissions to Wan Lei, telling him to calm down and not provoke this Core Formation Stage expert. It would be best to stabilize him first, and if it really didn't work, they could cooperate with him first, and then find a way after entering the Thunder Refining Pool.

"So… you're planning to reject my good intentions? Heh heh… you're really fearless newborn calves. Fine, since you won't give it to me, then don't blame this old man for being ruthless."

A fierce light flashed in the corner of Ling Xiaozi's eyes, a sneer hanging on his lips, as he slowly walked towards Wan Lei and the others.

He enjoyed this kind of psychological pressure, bit by bit, before killing his opponent, making them suffer psychological torment.

It was like a cat catching a mouse, not in a hurry to eat it, but torturing it to death.

He enjoyed savoring this feeling.

Seeing this scene, Tiansuanzi gritted his teeth, slapped his storage bag, took out the token, and said fiercely, "Senior, if you insist on killing us, I will destroy this token."

Seeing this, Ling Xiaozi's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "You're threatening this old man? Fine, if you give me this token now, I can continue the previous agreement, take you in, and give you some treasures.

If you destroy this token, this old man will kill you on the spot.

Life or death, it's up to you."

Wan Lei and the others didn't believe his words. If they gave him the token at this time, he would probably kill them on the spot.

After all, this person had no credibility at all.

"Senior, I also said just now, I will not bring you in."

As he spoke, a bolt of purple lightning appeared in Wan Lei's hand.

It was precisely the killing move that he had begged from that mysterious expert before coming here.

A killing move that could kill a Core Formation Stage expert with one blow.

Ling Xiaozi didn't pay much attention to Wan Lei's words at first, but the moment the purple lightning appeared, his pupils shrank, and he stood rooted to the spot.

From that purple lightning, he felt a world-destroying power, and an incomparably mighty aura.

Every cell in his body was telling him that if that lightning entered his body, he would surely die.

Seeing this, Ling Xiaozi gave a dry laugh, "Heh heh… what does this little friend mean? Forget it, this old man takes back what he just said, we'll go in together, you get half of the treasures inside, no, you get eighty percent, and this old man swears that as long as you don't attack, this old man will never attack you."

Wan Lei shook his head and said, "Senior's proposal is very tempting, but we are here to cultivate. I can't always be on guard against you, and I can't possibly keep such a dangerous person by my side.

That way, I won't be able to cultivate in peace.

So…"

"So…?"

Ling Xiaozi's eyes narrowed, ready to escape at any moment.

"So please go and die, Senior."

As he spoke, Wan Lei flicked his hand and sent the purple lightning towards Ling Xiaozi.

Seeing this, Ling Xiaozi roared and turned to flee!

However, no matter how fast he was…

Could he be faster than lightning?

The purple lightning instantly entered Ling Xiaozi's body, and then…

Boom!!!

Ling Xiaozi was blasted into smithereens.

Truly, not even bones remained.

Tiansuanzi and the others stared dumbfounded at Wan Lei…

"Good heavens, Young Master Lei, you were hiding your strength! You killed a dignified Core Formation Stage expert at the upper level with one move? Holy crap, what kind of combat power is this? Did you hide your cultivation? Are you actually a Nascent Soul old monster?"

Tiansuanzi exclaimed repeatedly.

"Heh, if I were a Nascent Soul old monster, I would have directly led you in and killed everyone, why would I be hiding and sneaking around?"

Wan Lei smiled wryly.

"That was just a family treasure, it's gone after using it once."

Hearing this, Qi Manyao pouted her small mouth and frowned, "Then this treasure is too precious, it would have been enough to scare him away just now, why did you have to use it? Such a waste."

Wan Lei smiled and said, "First of all, if we let him go, he would go and publicize that there is a formation here, and that there are treasures inside.

Treasures are not scary, because no one can open it. But if outsiders know that we can enter, then think about what consequences it will cause us? I'm afraid everyone will be blocking here waiting for us to come out.

Then they will join forces to kill us and divide the treasures. So, he must die.

Secondly, I have a feeling that after coming out of here, I will no longer need a secret treasure to face a Core Formation Stage expert, and I will be able to kill them!"

"Braggart."

Qi Manyao rolled her eyes, pursing her lips, looking extremely cute.

"Let's go, little silly girl."

Wan Lei smiled dumbly and reached out to pinch Qi Manyao's small face.

"Ah, you lecher!"

The four came to the front of the formation, Tiansuanzi picked up the token, smiled at Wan Lei and the others, and then pressed it onto the formation.

Immediately afterwards, the formation lit up a beam of light, shining on the four.

In an instant, the four disappeared from the spot.

Only the silent cave and the corpses scattered on the ground remained here.

…………

"………Good heavens, this is the Thunder Refining Pool? You call this thing a pool?"

Sui Xiaohang stared dumbfounded at the front.

This place… was very big.

They saw that in front of them was an ocean of lightning. Above, thunderclouds were densely packed, and below, lightning surged. In the middle of the air, there were countless bolts of lightning that appeared and disappeared from the thunderclouds.

The area here was too large. Saying it was an ocean was indeed an exaggeration, but if it was said to be a lake, it would definitely not be an exaggeration either.

It was definitely not an area that could be described as a "pool."

The place where they were standing was a large platform, and it was also the only place in this area where there was no lightning.

There were many prayer mats here, presumably the place where Taoist Leidian and his disciples cultivated.

"It's hard to imagine that there would be such a large space in this underground world."

Tiansuanzi exclaimed.
