Chapter 644 Shame on You
However, while he could evade the Sword Immortal Dharma Body's strikes, he hadn't anticipated the follow-up moves after the myriad lightning bolts.
The whip-bound Sword Immortal Dharma Body suddenly collapsed, transforming into specks of lightning power that dissipated in mid-air.
Huo Liuli only heard a rumble of thunder, and then, he could no longer see Wan Lei's figure.
Did he escape?
Huo Liuli wondered.
Even if he were to escape, he shouldn't have escaped so quickly. How could he disappear without a trace?
No, it's not escaping. If he wanted to escape, he would have done so long ago. How could he have fought me...
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but Huo Liuli only had time to think of so much.
From behind,
A fierce wind attacked!
Huo Liuli's expression changed drastically. Not having time to turn around, he immediately tried to rush forward.
But it was too late. He felt as if the back of his head had been struck by a mountain, instantly becoming dizzy and lightheaded. Pain, numbness, and dizziness filled his entire body.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying forward.
After Wan Lei's sneak attack succeeded, the feathers on his wings immediately stabbed fiercely towards Huo Liuli, while simultaneously summoning thunderclouds, unleashing a barrage of lightning upon Huo Liuli.
However, despite Wan Lei's frantic attacks on Huo Liuli, it was still Wan Lei who was at a disadvantage.
It was a strange sight: the stronger one passively taking a beating, the weaker one attacking wildly.
But a powerhouse is a powerhouse, and even if caught off guard by a sneak attack, their strength remained undiminished.
The seven Fire Overlords roared and charged towards Wan Lei.
Wan Lei chose not to summon the massive Sword Immortal Dharma Body again, relying instead on his speed and agility to entangle and skirmish with the seven Fire Overlords.
But with the loss of his attacks, Huo Liuli immediately freed himself and began to attack Wan Lei.
This day was a great humiliation for him. A dignified Grand Ascension Stage expert was fighting a back-and-forth battle with a Nascent Soul junior. Fortunately, there were no outsiders present, or else the Huo family elders would have lost all face.
However, as luck would have it, outsiders arrived.
"Huo Liuli, you are shameless! How dare you rely on your Grand Ascension Stage cultivation to bully a Nascent Soul junior? You have disgraced the face of a peak power!"
From afar, Elder Wan Juxin's explosive roar echoed.
"Wan Juxin! Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is the Huo family's territory! You, a Yin Yang Sect cultivator, trespassed into my Huo family. Am I wrong to take action?!"
Seeing Wan Juxin arrive, Huo Liuli secretly lamented that he wouldn't be able to kill Wan Lei today.
This kid had such good luck, always having someone come to save him!
At this moment, Wan Juxin also flew closer, his expression slightly stunned upon seeing the scene before him.
Wan Lei, on the other hand, was unscathed, his clothes intact, showing no signs of injury.
Looking at Huo Liuli again, his face was charred black, undoubtedly struck by lightning. His clothes were torn, also from lightning strikes. There were large patches of blood on his mouth and chest, clearly indicating that he was the one who had been beaten.
"Pfft..."
Elder Wan Juxin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at!"
Huo Liuli was infuriated.
"What a useless waste! You can't even defeat a Nascent Soul disciple from my Yin Yang Sect, and you've been forced into such a sorry state.
Huo Liuli, your Huo family is truly declining with each generation!"
"You're talking utter nonsense! Can't I defeat him? If you have the ability, don't interfere and see if I can't kill this little bastard!"
"How impressive! A dignified Grand Ascension Stage expert actually vows to kill a Nascent Soul junior with all his might. Huo Liuli, you're truly becoming more and more backwards as you live!"
Seeing that Wan Lei was unharmed, Elder Wan Juxin was completely relieved and mocked Huo Liuli relentlessly.
"Hmph! Wan Juxin, let me tell you, this matter of your Yin Yang Sect trespassing into my Huo family's territory today is not over! In the future, my Huo family will definitely send envoys to your Yin Yang Sect to demand an explanation!"
Since he definitely couldn't kill Wan Lei today, Huo Liuli didn't want to listen to Wan Juxin's mockery any longer. In any case, the five family members had already been killed, and he hadn't saved a single one, so he wouldn't attract more suspicion to himself here.
But before leaving, he didn't hesitate to shift the blame onto the Yin Yang Sect, and also test whether the Yin Yang Sect knew that the Huo family was involved in the refining of the Myriad Soul Deathly Night Pill.
If Wan Lei knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be stunned.
Dude, when the Feng family was being wiped out, Feng Qu ran to your house. When the Huang family was being wiped out, Huang Lading ran to your house. Anyone who isn't stupid can see that this matter is inseparable from your Huo family, right?
Otherwise, with the abilities of those families, would they dare to openly confront the Yin Yang Sect without a backer?
"First of all, you need to understand clearly that this is the Huo family's jurisdiction, not the Huo family's territory, much less the Huo family's domain.
Your Huo family merely bears the name of one of the nine peak powers, with the obligation to protect and manage this land. It's not stipulated that this is your Huo family's land!
Secondly, Huo Liuli, Huang Lading, the Huang family's ancestor, slaughtered mortals and refined evil pills, which is unforgivable.
This kind of heinous criminal fled to your Huo family's jurisdiction, but you not only refused to cooperate in capturing and killing him, but also attacked those enforcing the law from my Yin Yang Sect. What is the meaning of this?
Could it be that your Huo family really has some connection with these criminals?"
"How is that possible? Wan Juxin, don't spout nonsense and try to pin every bit of blame on me!"
"Is that so? Huo Liuli, take a look at this!"
Wan Juxin sneered and took out a jade slip, throwing it to Huo Liuli.
After Huo Liuli received it, his expression changed drastically after scanning it with his divine sense.
Without asking, Lei shao ye knew what was inside. It must be the recording he had made, the evidence of the Huo family colluding with the six families that slaughtered mortals.
He stared at Wan Juxin with a gloomy face.
"What is the Yin Yang Sect's attitude?"
"Isn't that up to your Huo family? Alright, this matter is over, and I should return as well. As for what to do next, your Huo family can decide for yourselves."
Wan Juxin sneered and beckoned to Wan Lei.
Wan Lei suppressed the questions in his heart and flew to Wan Juxin's side.
"I will convey your words to the family head verbatim. Farewell!"
Huo Liuli snorted coldly and turned to fly south.
Wan Lei vaguely guessed the Yin Yang Sect's meaning, which was nothing more than telling the Huo family: I have your evidence and your weakness in my hands. It would be best to send some hush money over, otherwise I will expose these crimes and make your Huo family lose face.
But in the eyes of Lei shao ye, who was "righteous" by nature, the Huo family's actions must be made public, so that they would lose face and popular support...
Well, Lei shao ye had no intention of deliberately retaliating against the Huo family, nor did he want to take this opportunity to weaken the influence of his enemies.
Lei shao ye was absolutely considering it out of "righteousness."
Although...
He himself often did things like extorting money...
Lei shao ye suddenly felt that he was very two-faced...
