"When I truly break through to Grandmaster, I reckon my strength will surpass even that of Transcendent martial artists!"
Ye Ningze began to anticipate.
He had now cultivated two bronze blade techniques to Great Perfection. With the combined power of his talent and blade techniques, he could unleash a terrifying force of up to 6 million jin!
Such immense power was not only beyond Grandmaster martial artists but even ordinary Transcendent experts.
While Ye Ningze diligently cultivated, the Lei family was also busy on their end.
Over the past few months, the Lei family's commercial ventures had progressed smoothly.
They had not only acquired numerous shops but also established their own commercial districts. The Lei family had now initially gained a foothold in Qingcheng Base.
Seeing that the family had established roots in the base, Lei Ming eagerly sought out his father, Lei Xingjun.
"Father, can we finally eliminate Ye Ningze now?" Lei Ming asked.
Upon hearing this, Lei Xingjun nodded and replied affirmatively, "In three days, I will personally eliminate him!"
"Excellent!" Lei Ming exclaimed joyfully. "With Father personally intervening, Ye Ningze is bound to die. My revenge will be avenged, and the family's honor will be restored!"
Evidently, Lei Ming had immense confidence in his father, Lei Xingjun's, strength.
Although Lei Xingjun was only an early-stage Grandmaster martial artist, he possessed a B-grade blade technique talent. With his two blade techniques cultivated to the peak of Great Accomplishment, he could amplify his strength fivefold.
The physical strength of an early-stage Grandmaster was 150,000 jin. With a fivefold amplification from his blade techniques, it reached 750,000 jin. Combined with mid-grade Yuan weapons and Yuan energy, his strength could break through to 2 million jin!
It was worth noting that Lei Ming, as a late-stage Grandmaster martial artist, possessed a strength of only 500,000 jin.
In his estimation, Ye Ningze was merely faster, and his physical strength should be comparable to his own.
However, no matter how fast Ye Ningze was, in the eyes of a Grandmaster martial artist, he was just a bit quicker, not worth mentioning, and certainly not someone who could react as Lei Ming did.
"Ye Ningze, you should feel fortunate to have lived a few extra months before your death!"
Lei Ming could already envision Ye Ningze being slain by his father, a look of smug satisfaction on his face.
A few months was not a long time for cultivators. Lei Ming did not believe Ye Ningze could break through to Grandmaster within this period.
And if Ye Ningze did not break through to Grandmaster, he was undoubtedly doomed!
The greatest difference between Grandmaster martial artists and Grandmaster martial artists did not lie in physical strength but in speed and defense.
This was why Lei Ming was unconcerned that Ye Ningze, who was suspected of possessing a high-grade speed talent, could escape his father's grasp.
Lei Ming was now completely free of worry, only needing to await news of Ye Ningze's demise.
Three days later.
Lei Xingjun departed from the Lei family, making a grand procession towards Ye Ningze's residence.
He chose not to act covertly because he knew that once Ye Ningze died, everyone would suspect the Lei family. Moreover, any action within the base would inevitably be discovered.
Given this, it was better to openly eliminate Ye Ningze.
This would also serve to restore the Lei family's honor and let the martial artists of Qingcheng Base know that provoking the Lei family would lead to dire consequences.
Within the villa complex where Ye Ningze resided.
Boom!!
An aura befitting a Grandmaster martial artist was unleashed, causing immense terror among the residents.
It was Lei Xingjun who had arrived.
In a villa within the complex, Ye Ningze, who was cultivating, also sensed this aura and immediately ceased his practice.
He opened his eyes and gazed in a particular direction.
Although he did not yet know who had arrived, Ye Ningze had a premonition that it was the Lei family sent to find him.
This was because Ye Ningze sensed a not-weak blade technique talent fluctuation from this person's aura.
"Finally, they've come?"
Ye Ningze murmured.
He had thought the Lei family had abandoned their revenge, but they couldn't hold back after all.
"The Lei family truly has patience, coming after me after several months," Ye Ningze's face showed a cold killing intent. "Since you've come, you won't be leaving alive. And the Lei family, there's no need for it to exist any longer!"
Since the Lei family dared to openly attack him within the base, it clearly signaled a complete breakdown in relations. Therefore, Ye Ningze was not afraid to escalate the matter.
His sister, Ye Yuhan, had already gone to school. With the Lei family's people dealt with, Ye Ningze could unleash his full power.
A Grandmaster martial artist's speed was incredibly fast. One moment they were outside the complex, and the next they were at the outer perimeter of Ye Ningze's villa courtyard.
Lei Xingjun located Ye Ningze using his spiritual sense, and Ye Ningze naturally saw Lei Xingjun as well.
"Lei Ming's father, Lei Xingjun."
Having already investigated the Lei family, Ye Ningze recognized the identity of the person who had arrived.
It made sense. Ye Ningze was a late-stage Grandmaster martial artist, and if the Lei family didn't send a Grandmaster, they wouldn't be able to deal with him.
Race: Human.
Cultivation Talent: B-grade.
Blade Technique Talent: B-grade.
As Lei Xingjun approached, Ye Ningze subtly examined his talent interface.
His cultivation talent was quite ordinary, even inferior to his son Lei Ming's, possessing only mid-grade cultivation talent.
Relying on mid-grade talent to cultivate to Grandmaster was his limit; any further breakthroughs were essentially impossible.
However, Lei Xingjun possessed mid-grade blade technique talent. Judging by the sharp blade aura he exuded, his blade technique had clearly reached the peak of Great Accomplishment, just a step away from Blade Intent.
With a blade aura at the peak of Great Accomplishment, Lei Xingjun, despite being an early-stage Grandmaster, could unleash strength equivalent to a mid to late-stage Grandmaster.
"Decent strength, but a pity you're going to die."
Ye Ningze stared at Lei Xingjun with disdain, silently sentencing him to death in his heart.
Lei Xingjun, on the other hand, did not waste time with pleasantries. He let out a shout and then launched his attack towards Ye Ningze with his blade.
"Die, Ye Ningze, and surrender your life!"
Lei Xingjun swung his blade, and the swift blade aura shattered the outer wall of Ye Ningze's villa, even penetrating half of the courtyard.
"Since you've destroyed my villa!" Seeing his courtyard ruined, Ye Ningze was furious.
He drew his black blade, activated his speed talent, dodged Lei Xingjun's attack, and charged towards him with lightning speed.
Seeing Ye Ningze so easily evade his attack, and with such speed that he left afterimages in his wake, Lei Xingjun inwardly felt a sense of dread.
"Not good, this brat's speed has reached over ten times the speed of sound! I'm no match for him, I must retreat!" Lei Xingjun began to consider fleeing.
It was important to note that his speed as an early-stage Grandmaster was only three times the speed of sound. Yet, Ye Ningze's speed had reached ten times the speed of sound, making it impossible to even see his moves. How could he fight this?
"Blade Shield!"
Seeing Ye Ningze's incredible speed, Lei Xingjun quickly employed his blade technique. The blade edge he wielded instantly formed a blade curtain, enveloping him.
