“Young Master, this Supreme Alliance’s branch in the capital is quite interesting.”
Feng Tutu watched the invitation letter that Blood Hand handed to Ye Kunlun. “It’s one thing for a branch to issue a unified invitation, but it’s another for every elder to come out and present one.”
“Subordinate feels like these branch elders are forming factions. Could it be that the recommendation of the branch leader depends on who can gather more followers?”
Feng Tutu’s tone was filled with mockery.
“Do you two know who the branch leader is?” Ye Kunlun tossed the two invitation letters aside and asked.
“Nan Yutie,” Blood Hand replied.
“However, Nan Yutie was injured half a year ago and has been recuperating since then.
Therefore, for the past six months, matters of the Supreme Alliance’s capital branch have been handled by Ma Guotao and Sun Xuan. Both of them want to take over Nan Yutie’s position, and they have been engaged in covert struggles for half a year.”
“According to what subordinate knows, Ma Guotao’s influence is stronger than Sun Xuan’s, but not by much.”
“The reason for inviting the capital’s experts and noble families this time, subordinate speculates, is much like what Tutu just said – to win them over. After all, those coming from the Supreme Alliance headquarters will also assess their influence in the capital.”
After hearing Blood Hand’s analysis, Ye Kunlun nodded and replied, “Then in two days, we will go to the Supreme Alliance’s capital branch to witness this grand spectacle.”
“It’s just that I don’t seem to have any acquaintances with the Supreme Alliance’s capital branch.
Moreover, I killed Zhou Lie, had Old Man Huang challenge Mo Rufeng, and offended the Huang family, making many enemies.
They send me an invitation letter at this time, I wonder if it’s to watch a good show or if it’s a Hongmen Banquet.”
Hearing this, Blood Hand revealed a cold smile on his effeminate face. “Young Master, whether it’s a show or a Hongmen Banquet, if they dare to have any designs on the Young Master, subordinate will let them taste the power of the Blood Shadow Hand.”
After consuming the Spirit Breaking Pill last night, Blood Hand successfully broke through to the Spirit Opening realm.
Coupled with Ye Kunlun’s improvements to his Blood Shadow Hand, Blood Hand’s Blood Shadow Hand was now far from what it used to be, its power increased dozens of times.
Blood Hand was itching for a fight, eager to find someone to battle for three hundred rounds and hone his realm.
“There will be plenty of opportunities for you to act in the future!”
Ye Kunlun looked at Blood Hand, who was eager to try, and felt somewhat speechless.
Everyone around him was constantly thinking about fighting and killing; none of them were peaceful.
“Let Lei Ju leave. For the next two days, you will secretly protect his safety.”
Ye Kunlun instructed Blood Hand, “Ma Guotao and the Japanese will surely find him immediately. Ensure his safety.”
“Subordinate understands.”
—
After lunch at noon, Lei Ju left the Wujian Prison. Less than ten minutes after he left, the news reached Ma Guotao.
Lei Ju could have taken a roundabout route before heading to his residence.
*Swish, swish, swish—*
Wu Dao’s figure directly intercepted him.
“Lei Ju, where have you been all this time you were missing?” the man in the middle looked at the burly Lei Ju with cold eyes. “Elder Ma wants to see you. You’ll have to come with us.”
Lei Ju looked at the middle-aged man speaking, his bell-like eyes showing a trace of anger.
Last time, it was this man who brought two Japanese to hunt him down. He hadn’t expected him to show up personally again.
“Bullshit!” Lei Ju cursed immediately. “Even though you were masked last time, I know you were the one who led the Japanese to chase me!”
The man’s expression turned fierce upon hearing this. “Since you’ve already guessed, you’re even less likely to be spared. Attack!”
With the man’s order, the other four instantly surrounded Lei Ju.
Seeing this, Lei Ju’s muscles bulged instantly, as if imbued with the power of thunder.
Last night, while helping Blood Hand break through, Ye Kunlun also offered some guidance to Lei Ju.
This fellow was naturally gifted with great strength and was actually not suited for practicing the Thunder Gate’s Thunder Art.
Ye Kunlun had to slightly modify the Thunder Art for him, even changing the original route of his True Qi circulation.
This way, his inherent strength could be combined with lightning techniques, unleashing even more terrifying power!
The next second, the person to Lei Ju’s front left drew a dagger and slashed directly at Lei Ju’s neck!
“Thunderous Boom!”
Lei Ju roared and slammed a punch at the charging attacker.
A faint flash of lightning flickered around Lei Ju’s massive fist, which struck the opponent’s dagger.
*Crack, crack—*
The dagger instantly shattered into pieces, and the force continued to hit the opponent’s chest.
*Puff!!*
Suffering a heavy blow, the man was sent flying backward.
Lei Ju’s eyes lit up with joy. He hadn’t expected the modified technique by Ye Kunlun to be so monstrous, at least five times stronger than his previous strength.
“I didn’t expect your strength to have improved so much in just a few days!”
The man’s expression changed slightly, looking at Lei Ju in surprise. When he had chased him before, his strength was not this great.
“Grandpa will kill you all today!”
Lei Ju roared.
At this moment, the other three had closed in, and Lei Ju quickly moved to defend himself.
The reason he was able to repel the opponent just now was due to his sudden surge in strength, which the opponent hadn’t anticipated, thus falling into his trap.
Now, the three knew Lei Ju’s strength had increased, so they were extremely cautious, their attacks all ruthless.
Lei Ju could barely deal with the three, but it was unlikely he could repel them.
Moreover, the man beside them was watching intently.
However, Lei Ju was not panicked. He knew Blood Hand was watching the battle from somewhere!
The man, seeing that his four subordinates were taking too long to subdue Lei Ju, became impatient.
The next second, he moved, joining the fray like a shadow, his right hand forming a claw and reaching for Lei Ju’s chest!
*Bang—*
Lei Ju’s speed was a fraction slower, and he was struck by the claw, his chest clothing torn, revealing slightly reddened skin!
The man’s expression changed slightly. Lei Ju’s body was actually so sturdy that it could withstand his fingers, which could even penetrate fine iron?
This was impossible!
Lei Ju also hadn’t expected that after Ye Kunlun changed the circulation route of his True Qi, the advantages of his body were completely unleashed.
As True Qi circulated, strength spread throughout his body, forming an undetectable protective True Qi beneath his skin, like an impenetrable wall!
Although Lei Ju was not injured, he still retreated three to four steps before steadying himself, indicating the power of the man’s claw.
“Lei Ju, I didn’t expect you to have changed so much,” the man narrowed his eyes, staring at Lei Ju. “Even so, you will die here today.”
After speaking, the man attacked Lei Ju again.
However, a streak of blood-red suddenly flashed before his eyes, as if his vision was covered by a bloody mist!
When the man came to his senses, his chest ached faintly.
He looked down and saw a blood-red palm print on the left side of his chest.
“Blood Hand Impermanent!”
The man’s face was filled with horror, and his life force rapidly drained away.
