Chapter 135 Provoking the Wolf

If it hadn't been for Tiansuanzi, Qi Manyao and Sui Xiaohang would probably have been captured alive by those three guards.

"Tiansuanzi, well done."

Wan Lei smiled, which was rare for him, expressing his approval of Tiansuanzi.

After all, in such a dangerous situation just now, Tiansuanzi did not side with the enemy, nor did he run away, but fought alongside them, constantly resisting the enemy's attacks.

From this point alone, he was a trustworthy person.

Hearing this, Tiansuanzi smiled shyly and said, "We're partners, why say such polite words? Just give me a bigger share of Duanmu Ao's spoils."

As the number one genius of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Ao must have had many treasures and spirit stones on him. Tiansuanzi was just a rogue cultivator, and his wealth certainly couldn't compare to Duanmu Ao's.

Looking at Tiansuanzi's wretched appearance, Wan Lei laughed and said, "Alright, half for you, half for the three of us."

"Excellent, excellent."

Tiansuanzi happily went to search Duanmu Ao's and the other three guards' storage bags.

However, just as they were about to divide the spoils, a loud shout suddenly came from afar, "Who has the audacity to kill someone from my Duanmu family!"

Hearing this, Wan Lei and the others turned their heads and their expressions changed drastically. The person who came was a Jindan stage expert from the Duanmu family, the one who had confronted Wan Hongzhuang outside the cave previously.

Duanmu He!

This Duanmu He was different from Duanmu Feng, who had just reached the Jindan stage not long ago. He was an old powerhouse of the Duanmu family, and now had a mid-Jindan stage cultivation.

Not to mention mid-Jindan stage, Wan Lei couldn't beat any Jindan stage cultivator.

"Run!"

Wan Lei shouted, grabbed Sui Xiaohang, and turned to fly deeper into the passage.

Tiansuanzi wasn't slow either, and immediately followed closely behind. Qi Manyao also pushed the speed she had gained from refining the demon core to the extreme.

Wan Lei and the others fled desperately, with Duanmu He chasing behind them. The narrow, winding passage made things difficult for Wan Lei and the others.

"You four little brats, obediently surrender and I'll give you a complete corpse. If I catch you, I'll skin you alive and make sure you die a horrible death!"

Duanmu He's angry roar came from behind. Wan Lei gritted his teeth, his body covered in lightning, and flew forward desperately.

Suddenly, a piece of lava exploded in front of them, and raging flames instantly filled the entire tunnel, rushing towards Wan Lei and the others.

Damn it, with flames blocking the way ahead and a Jindan stage pursuer behind, they were truly at their wit's end!

Tiansuanzi felt bitter in his heart, never expecting that this trip to the cave would become the last moment of his life.

"Hold on tight to me!"

Wan Lei shouted and grabbed Qi Manyao.

Tiansuanzi didn't know what he was going to do, but he figured it was to escape, so he grabbed Wan Lei without hesitation.

Wan Lei gritted his teeth, his whole body covered in lightning, and shouted loudly. Then, the four of them disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already behind the flames, at a corner.

"Not bad, little Taoist friend, you can even teleport?"

Tiansuanzi said in surprise.

Wan Lei didn't answer him, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just now, he had forcibly used Lei Dun (Lightning Escape) while carrying three people, which put a great strain on him. Now that the backlash had come, he had suffered serious internal injuries.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Wan Lei suddenly spit blood, Qi Manyao quickly grabbed him and sent spiritual energy into his body to help him suppress his injuries.

"I'm fine, this move puts too much strain on me, I can't use it often. Let's go quickly, these flames can't stop a Jindan stage expert!"

Wan Lei said.

Hearing this, Tiansuanzi nodded. Indeed, if such a heaven-defying magical power could be used without restriction, wouldn't cultivators be invincible?

There was no such heaven-defying magical power in the world.

What he didn't know was that if Wan Lei wasn't carrying them, as long as he had lightning power in his body, he could really use Lei Dun without restriction.

However, Lei Dun did consume a lot of lightning power.

The four of them got up and rushed forward again. Not long after, a violent explosion came from behind, followed by Duanmu He's roar.

From far away, the four of them looked back and saw Duanmu He, covered in dust and with his clothes torn, rushing out of the flames. Then, the flames disappeared.

It was obvious that Duanmu He had used brute force to destroy the flame mechanism.

"You little thieves, I'm going to grind you to ashes!"

Duanmu He was in an extremely disheveled state, his heart filled with anger, and he immediately chased after Wan Lei and the others.

"Damn it, it's one thing that he didn't burn to death, but why couldn't it even stop him for a moment!"

Wan Lei gritted his teeth in anger. Helpless, he could only continue to lead the others to escape.

The Jindan stage expert behind him was getting closer and closer. Wan Lei was anxious, and if they continued like this, they would surely die.

"Owoo!"

As the four of them were running, the sound of a wolf howl suddenly came from ahead. Judging from the pressure in the sound, the demon beast's cultivation was not weak.

"Let's go, we'll go through the front and let the demon beast resist Duanmu He!"

As Wan Lei spoke, he led the others forward.

"Lei Shao, are you sure? Demon beasts are not the same as mechanisms. Demon beasts have intelligence. Are you sure we won't be blocked by the demon beast instead?"

Sui Xiaohang asked.

"Just time it right!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wan Lei's eyes. He planned to fight with the demon beast for a while, and then use Lei Dun to escape when Duanmu He got close, letting the demon beast fight with Duanmu He.

Flying all the way to the front, they saw a demon beast's nest, with several wolf pups inside, and an adult wolf standing outside the nest, vigilantly looking around.

Alright, now fly over and wait for the demon beast to attack me.

Wan Lei made up his mind and led the group quickly past the mother wolf. However, to his disappointment, the mother wolf just glanced at them and did not chase after them.

This surprised Wan Lei, but he quickly understood.

The mother wolf had to protect the wolf pups in the nest. As long as they didn't attack, the mother wolf wouldn't easily leave the nest to chase after them.

But if the mother wolf didn't chase after them, she wouldn't chase after Duanmu He either.

What to do? He had to think of a way. How could he make the mother wolf fight Duanmu He? Right, the mother wolf wanted to protect her pups, so he could use the pups!

Wan Lei instantly understood and his expression turned ruthless. He secretly condensed a bolt of lightning in his hand, and manipulated it with his divine sense, sending it quietly into the wolf pups' nest.

His divine sense was well hidden, and the mother wolf didn't notice it. She continued to stand outside the nest, vigilantly watching her surroundings.

"Lei Shao, your plan won't work. The mother wolf didn't come to attack us."

Sui Xiaohang wiped the sweat from his forehead. The fast flying speed was making him sweat, which showed how nervous he was.

"It's okay, it's good that she's not attacking us, as long as she attacks Duanmu He."

Wan Lei grinned.

"But if she doesn't attack us, she definitely won't attack Duanmu He."

"She will attack, just watch the show."

Wan Lei looked back and saw that Duanmu He was already very close to the wolf's nest.
