"Hmph, it's good that you know fear. Release us quickly and take us to see True Disciple Lei! We will plead for you..."
The man felt a sigh of relief, but before he could finish speaking, Long Xuan said, "That's right, we need to destroy the evidence! Lest the Ling Hai Sect find out and cause a lot of trouble."
"Ah!"
The geniuses of the Ling Hai Sect turned pale with fright.
"Spare us, spare us! We were also ordered by that bastard True Disciple Lei. An eye for an eye, a debt for a debt. If you want revenge, go find the people of the Tian Yi Sect!"
The few men quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately for mercy.
"Heh heh, I thought your bones were made of iron. Turns out you're all just softies."
Ling Fan sneered coldly, then grabbed these few people. The Yan Luo Hall appeared, and amidst their screams, he suppressed them all within it.
Before, Ling Fan had some difficulty suppressing the Dragon Emperor that was close to peak fifth-tier.
He had to go all out.
But now.
Ling Fan easily suppressed five true disciples of the Ling Hai Sect, each of whom was more powerful than that Dragon Emperor, and he did so with extreme ease.
Five more peak fifth-tier Xuan Emperors replaced the five formation eyes in the Yan Luo Hall, causing its power to surge several times over.
"Gulp."
"Brother Fan, you really killed them all?"
Long Xuan swallowed and said with shock.
"What does it matter if they're dead? In this Dragon Cave ruins, no one will know. Even if the Ling Hai Sect finds out later, my strength will have already advanced by leaps and bounds, and I won't fear them. Refining them into puppets will also enhance my current power. Why not?"
Ling Fan said nonchalantly.
"Awesome!"
Long Xuan exclaimed.
"Now it's time to go find that True Disciple Lei for revenge!"
Ling Fan said.
He had already learned True Disciple Lei's location from the memories of those five people.
Speaking of this, Long Xuan's spirits lifted.
"Right, compared to these clowns, that True Disciple Lei is the most detestable. I was beaten so badly by him, I can't let him off!"
...
The Heavenly Veins churned with waves.
Huge billows like mountains crashed down one after another.
True Disciple Lei hovered above the Heavenly Veins like an unmoving thunder god.
His aura was peculiar at this moment.
The power within him had accumulated to its peak.
Clearly, he had become much stronger than before.
However, he still had not entered the sixth-tier Xuan Emperor realm.
Moreover, a trace of tribulation aura lingered in this place, the void was tattered, as if bombarded by countless heavenly thunders.
"To become a sixth-tier Xuan Emperor is too difficult, after all, it is the last step towards the Heavenly Emperor realm. To forge a foundation that reaches the heavens, only those with great perseverance, great fortune, and great divine abilities can achieve it."
"However, although I haven't truly entered the sixth-tier Xuan Emperor realm, I have survived the tribulation. Part of the Xuan Emperor laws within my body have been promoted to sixth-tier Xuan Emperor laws. My life-bound Emperor weapon has also been tempered by the tribulation, its power greatly increased. Next time, I will definitely succeed in my attempt!"
True Disciple Lei was not discouraged by his failed tribulation.
Instead, he became even more ambitious.
"Senior Brother Lei, we have almost searched the entire Heavenly Vein line and found no trace of the two people you mentioned."
At this moment.
Geniuses returned one after another to report.
When they saw True Disciple Lei's strength becoming more unfathomable, they became even more awestruck, lowering their heads even further.
"Hmph, a bunch of good-for-nothings! Forget it, I'll go find them myself."
True Disciple Lei snorted coldly.
Just then.
A voice suddenly sounded above everyone's heads.
"Lei Zi, you're in such a hurry, have you prepared yourself to die!"
Upon hearing this voice, True Disciple Lei's brow immediately furrowed.
"Playing tricks, get out!"
He raised his hand and unleashed a terrifying bolt of lightning that tore through the heavens. A void shattered, revealing a colossal Azure Dragon tens of thousands of feet long behind it. Beside the giant Azure Dragon stood a gray-haired figure.
"Good! You two actually delivered yourselves to my doorstep. That saves me some trouble!"
True Disciple Lei grinned sinisterly.
The giant Azure Dragon opened its mouth and said, "Lei Zi, we've come to take your life."
"Hmph, overestimating yourselves! Do you think you have the right to challenge me just because your strength has increased slightly? Little do you know, in my eyes, you two are still ants, still trash."
True Disciple Lei spoke indifferently, taking a step forward. The lightning around him became even more terrifying, his radiance filling the sky. He seemed to have transformed into an unparalleled thunder god. Boundless lightning laws spread across heaven and earth. With a single finger pointed out, the void shattered layer by layer like a mirror, and a supremely powerful force blasted towards Long Xuan.
Boom!
Long Xuan unleashed a secret technique, the Azure Dragon Sky-Rending Claw. The colossal dragon body, carrying immense power, charged forward.
Claw met finger.
Long Xuan let out a pained cry, his dragon claw fractured. Countless residual lightning bolts flickered, continuing to ravage his dragon body. Finally, under the terrifying impact, his massive form was sent flying backward.
"Damn it! This guy is even stronger than before! I'm no match for him, Old Fan, go, kill him!"
Long Xuan didn't need to say it.
Ling Fan had already made his move.
With a single punch, the lightning was instantly extinguished.
Ling Fan now displayed an incredibly powerful and imposing demeanor.
Waves of earth-shattering fist energy tore through the sky, descending upon True Disciple Lei.
"Hmm?"
True Disciple Lei's expression darkened, and he narrowed his eyes.
From Ling Fan, he actually sensed a trace of danger.
How much time had passed!
The ant he had been chasing and who could only flee in disarray was now qualified to contend with him!
"You must die, otherwise, you will become a great threat to my Tian Yi Sect in the future."
A strong killing intent surged in True Disciple Lei's heart.
He reached out and grabbed the void, and a scepter radiating endless lightning appeared in his hand. As he gripped the Thunder Emperor's Scepter and smashed down, a world-ending lightning bolt that spanned across the heavens swept through billions of spaces, carrying the majesty and dominance of punishing everything, and descended.
In an instant.
All the fist energy Ling Fan had unleashed was shattered by the Thunder Emperor's Scepter.
The space where Ling Fan was located was also shattered, turning into a chaotic void.
The geniuses from various factions around were stunned, their hearts trembling.
This was the formidable power of a true disciple of the Tian Yi Sect.
It was truly terrifying.
Any one of them would absolutely not be able to withstand this heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating strike.
"That guy must have been reduced to ashes."
"Alas, this is the consequence of provoking the Tian Yi Sect."
"That kid was truly overestimating himself. Why did he have to provoke the people of the Tian Yi Sect? When you're in Jinzhou, everyone has to play the subordinate!"
Those geniuses whispered amongst themselves.
Just then.
A figure tore through the chaos.
Appearing in everyone's sight.
