The beam descended from the sky, exceptionally conspicuous, its landing spot visible to all.
Wan Lei and the others mingled with the crowd, their expressions turning to shock as they saw the beam land directly beside them. They stumbled backward, their gazes fixed on Wan Lei.
"Over there, pursue!"
Qian Long of the Enforcement Hall waved his hand, and over ten thousand Enforcement Hall disciples charged towards Wan Lei's location. The guards also retreated along their original path.
Without hesitation, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu unleashed their Wind Blade Escape technique, rapidly fleeing southwards.
Meanwhile, the millions of disciples from the Five Elements Hall stood stunned.
"Holy crap, is that our strongest Hall Disciple? He didn't look like that earlier, was he disguised?"
"Good heavens, did he blow up our main peak? The first person in history to blow up the Five Elements Hall!"
"Why was he breaking into prison? Who was he breaking out?"
"You think his taking a post in the prison was just to break someone out?"
"No wonder! I thought, why would our esteemed strongest Hall Disciple take a job in that dingy corner of a prison? It was for this."
"I'm now suspecting he joined the Five Elements Hall solely to break someone out."
"The person beside him, is that a woman? Is he breaking her out?"
"Who is that? How can such an excellent prodigy be so reckless for her?"
"I think I'm seeing love."
"So touching, I'm about to cry, sob sob..."
"The Hall Master of the Water Hall will be so heartbroken."
"Speaking of which, shouldn't we go help?"
"Helping Wan Lei fight the Enforcement Hall seems a bit wrong."
"I mean, I was talking about capturing Wan Lei."
"If you want to go, you go. I'm not going, I can't beat him."
"I won't make a move. Such a heroic man shouldn't die here."
"How about... we go watch the excitement?"
"We definitely have to watch, it's a huge scandal."
Although they had been ordered not to leave the main peak area, with someone taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated, figuring the law wouldn't punish the masses.
Thus, millions of people marched towards Wan Lei.
At this moment, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu pushed their speed to the absolute limit, hoping to quickly fly out of the grand formation and immediately teleport to the East Sea.
However, they had forgotten that on the outermost perimeter of the Five Elements Hall, there were countless guards.
These were the forces defending the Five Elements Hall.
The southern guards had already arrived, blocking Wan Lei and the other's path.
"Grab your weapons, and the storage bag I gave you," Wan Lei said quickly.
At the same time, he took out his quadruple rocket launcher, equipped with pre-loaded rockets.
Without hesitation, Wan Lei pulled the trigger, and four rockets shot towards the guards.
The guards immediately formed a defensive line, raising their shields to jointly block the rocket attack.
Wan Lei's rockets targeted the guards, while Fang Xiaoyu's aimed at the Enforcement Hall disciples and prison guards charging from the north.
After one volley, the two immediately fled towards the southwest. They absolutely could not be caught in a pincer movement; they had to break out before the enemies from the north and south could converge.
As they flew using the Wind Blade Escape technique, they reloaded their rocket launchers and fired another round.
After firing the rockets, they had no time to meticulously control their trajectory. The rocket attacks were merely meant to slow down the pursuers.
They flew rapidly and finally escaped the encirclement before the two sides could close in.
However, the enemies were already very close. With no time to hesitate, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu took out cluster bombs, activated them, and hurled them behind them.
These bombs, capable of killing groups of immortals, were now being unleashed behind them as if they were free.
Both sides were moving at high speeds. The bombs had barely left their hands when Wan Lei and the other had flown far away, and the pursuers had reached the location of the explosions.
Boom boom boom!!
A series of dense explosions erupted. The guards and Enforcement Hall disciples had no time to defend themselves, falling in swathes amidst their screams.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's Wind Blade Escape technique was relentless. Their speed was incredibly high, and ordinary Tai Xu realm guards couldn't keep up.
They continued to throw bombs backward. Experts in the Wu Liang realm could easily dodge them, but the pursuers behind them were not so fortunate.
Amidst the continuous explosions, the death toll of the pursuers increased exponentially.
As Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu killed more and more enemies, the Enforcement Hall disciples grew enraged. They no longer cared about the order to capture them alive, and instead unleashed their weapons towards Wan Lei.
Hearing the roaring sounds from behind, Wan Lei knew the enemy was counter-attacking. He immediately pulled Fang Xiaoyu and dodged to the side, narrowly missing the barrage of artillery and energy attacks.
Then, he took out his shield, holding it between himself and Fang Xiaoyu with his right hand to protect their backs. They moved in a spiral, dodging the attacks from behind while seizing opportunities to counter-attack.
The intensity of the attacks from behind wasn't very strong. Perhaps they had received orders to capture them alive, which was understandable. What confused Wan Lei was that with the Five Elements Hall possessing such a vast number of powerful individuals, they should have been unable to escape once discovered.
Yet, up to this point, the pursuers were only the southern guards, Enforcement Hall disciples, and prison guards. The total number of Wu Liang realm experts did not exceed ten, not a single Golden Immortal, let alone a Saint.
However, he had no time to ponder. If the powerful experts weren't pursuing him, he still had a sliver of hope to escape.
Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and lightning rained down. Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu transformed into mobile weapon platforms, engaging tens of thousands of enemies in a firefight.
They were not invincible. Under the enemy's onslaught, even with their shields deflecting attacks, they were surrounded by enemies from all directions, and there were always those who could land a hit on them.
They continued to flee without rest, and their pursuers were unable to complete their encirclement.
The Five Elements Hall was simply too vast. Even with their Wind Blade Escape technique, they couldn't escape quickly. Moreover, they couldn't flee in a straight line. There were always enemies blocking their path, forcing them to weave through any openings they found.
The fierce pursuit in the south was witnessed by millions of Five Elements Hall disciples, who watched with excited hearts.
The Five Elements Hall had been established for fifty thousand years. From its inception, it had been the supreme power in the immortal realm, and no one had dared to cause trouble within its domain.
Wan Lei had set a precedent. Not only had he caused trouble, but he had also broken into prison, blown up the main peak of the Five Elements Hall, and killed many while being pursued by tens of thousands of Enforcement Hall disciples and guards.
The disciples cheered Wan Lei on, supporting and encouraging him. It was as if these young people, harboring a degree of rebellion and a liking for showing off, saw Wan Lei doing what they had always wanted to do but dared not.
Especially when they saw the Enforcement Hall disciples being blown up, their excitement reached new heights, as they had all been bullied by the Enforcement Hall members to some extent in their daily lives...
