Hundreds of powerful demonic beasts, along with twenty Nascent Soul stage Thunder Beasts, lined up and charged towards the enemies below.
The already disadvantaged enemy had the final straw that broke the camel's back, and was completely routed by the beast horde.
The lucky ones, who were farther away, knelt and surrendered, sparing their lives. The unlucky ones were directly smashed to pieces by the demonic beasts and became their prey.
Seeing that the battle below was nearing its end, Wan Lei gathered the twenty Thunder Beasts to charge at Kuang Yao Jun.
Kuang Yao Jun had been continuously weakened by Wan Lei. Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were both adept at dealing with enemies. With their wind-calling, rain-summoning, and blood-devouring techniques, they first suppressed and weakened their foes before delivering a fatal blow when the enemy was vulnerable.
Under the charge of the Thunder Beast swarm, Kuang Yao Jun could hardly hold on. He had no choice but to fly towards Lord Li Yuxing, hoping to combine their strength to resist Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's onslaught.
It was a deep humiliation.
This matter, for the two of them, would have been a joke in the past, something they wouldn't even have considered.
Yet now, they were forced to unite to contend against two mere Nascent Soul juniors.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with immense regret. They had initially believed that with their cultivation, their demonic beasts, and so many warriors, they could easily crush Wan Lei, or at the very least, defeat him and force him to hand over two heads.
Only now did they realize that these two youths, who were in their early twenties, could kill four Great Ascension stage powerhouses single-handedly. It was no fluke, nor was it because those four had underestimated their opponent and been ambushed.
They truly possessed the strength.
Huo Liuli, Yi Jian Tian, Dao Luo Zhen Ren, Nan Mu Zhi Zhu – all of them were renowned figures in the Central Region. Now, they had all become stepping stones for Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's rise to fame.
They did not want to be on that list, so they chose to flee.
As for the heads, they would have to find other lone Great Ascension stage cultivators to kill. After all, compared to these two fearsome figures, Great Ascension stage cultivators were much easier to bully.
However, as the two turned to flee, they were dismayed to discover that they could not escape.
The battlefield had been sealed by a grand array.
This小子 had planned this all along!!!
"Kuang Yao Jun, what do we do?"
The Star Lord, who had dominated the region for a thousand years, felt a sense of despair for the first time since arriving on the Lei Feng Continent.
"What else can we do? There's nothing we can do. This little thief is too strong. His magic treasures are formidable, his physical body is heaven-defying, and his divine abilities are even more bizarre, directly absorbing others' cultivation. He is also proficient in formations. It can be said that this person has almost no weaknesses. Anyone who has faced him must have felt this stifling frustration..."
"You mean I should surrender to these two little thieves?"
Lord Li Yuxing glared at Kuang Yao Jun.
Upon hearing this, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were startled and subtly fused their Sword Immortal Dharma Bodies together.
Surrender was absolutely not an option. These two could not be trusted at all, and their strength was formidable. Keeping them around would be like having two ticking time bombs.
In the future, when they faced other opponents, those opponents would also be Great Ascension stage powerhouses. If these two were to betray them then, even if they merely stood by, their strength would be reduced by two Great Ascension cultivators, while the enemy would gain two.
This shift in power meant their side would lose the combat power of four Great Ascension cultivators. How could they possibly fight then? They might as well wait for death.
Moreover, this world was not the Lei Feng Realm. Whether heavenly oaths were effective was uncertain, and there might not even be heavenly punishment. What could they use to restrain the other party?
They did not want the other party to be rejected after surrendering and then fight to the death in desperation. Therefore, they had to deliver a fatal blow at this moment.
"If not surrender, then what? It's better than dying.
Lord Li Yuxing, if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, bring them out quickly, lest you be rejected after saying them and then try to attack, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"What tricks do I have? My greatest trick is good luck. I can find treasures just by walking, turn misfortune into fortune, and escape danger.
I thought I was already quite abnormal, but I didn't expect that your Central Region would have such a monstrous prodigy. I feel like my luck has worsened since coming here. This time, I must return alive.
These two little thieves have even better luck than me. I suspect they have stolen my luck.
"Hmph, stop bluffing... Dodge!!"
Kuang Yao Jun, who was mocking Lord Li Yuxing, suddenly caught sight of the giant sword in the hand of the colossal Sword Immortal Dharma Body slashing down fiercely. He immediately shouted at the other party.
Lord Li Yuxing turned his head and immediately dodged, but it was too late.
Originally, Wan Lei had intended to kill Kuang Yao Jun. However, after hearing Lord Li Yuxing's words, his mind was stirred, and he swung his sword towards Lord Li Yuxing.
The reason was simple: Lord Li Yuxing's luck was too good, almost comparable to his own protagonist halo. How could such a person be allowed to live?
In the Lei Feng Realm, there could only be one protagonist, and that was Wan Lei.
Even if the other party's protagonist's fortune was not as strong as his own, and he was suppressed after encountering him, he still couldn't be kept alive.
Who could really explain the nature of protagonist's fortune?
The sword edge had already descended, locking onto Lord Li Yuxing. He could not escape.
However, accidents always affect the main plot. At this moment, the Thunder Beast swarm charged forward and collided with Kuang Yao Jun.
Kuang Yao Jun cried out in pain, vomited blood, and flew to the side, coincidentally landing in front of Lord Li Yuxing.
The edge of the Annihilation Slash came down.
Kuang Yao Jun's body was directly severed into two pieces, and his Nascent Soul was also absorbed by the blood-devouring technique, turning into wisps of energy.
Wan Lei, Fang Xiaoyu, and Lord Li Yuxing were all dumbfounded, feeling that Kuang Yao Jun's death was utterly unbelievable.
But where could they go to reason about such a thing?
"Hahahaha... I knew I wouldn't die. I have the protagonist's template, how could I die so easily? I've survived countless perilous situations before, how could I die at the hands of you little thieves...
Damn it!"
Lord Li Yuxing was roaring with wild laughter, overjoyed at having survived the ordeal. Suddenly, he saw the Sword Immortal Dharma Body raise its sword again and was so frightened that he immediately turned and fled.
As he ran, Wan Lei pursued. Wan Lei was confident that his next sword strike would kill him, as there would likely be no one else to block the blade for him again.
However, he was still only at the Nascent Soul cultivation level. In terms of speed, he was no match for Lord Li Yuxing.
Therefore, he ordered the Thunder Beasts to pursue the enemy.
The Thunder Beasts were very fast, especially the two bird-like Thunder Beasts. They quickly caught up to Lord Li Yuxing. However, just as they were about to collide, these two Thunder Beasts crashed into each other, nearly shattering each other.
"Hahahaha, Wan Lei, you see? This is my Li Yu's protagonist's fortune. How can you kill me? Hahaha, I will never die, no matter what. Come at me!"
