Night Battle, The Death of Lei Bao!

For some time now, in order to consolidate their defenses, not only the Lin Family dependents but also the Lin Family's combat forces had almost all gathered at Ironwood Manor.

Following the order issued by Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken and his two brothers quickly finished assembling the troops.

Lin Zhentian swept his gaze across the crowd and shouted, "Ever since our Lin Family settled in Qingyang Town, the Lei and Xie families have targeted and suppressed us at every turn."

"Half a month ago, the Lei family sent Lei Pi and Lei Xing, two experts of the Heaven Origin Realm, to lead a group in an ambush against my grandson, Lin Yi; today, the head of the Xie family, Xie Qian, personally led a team to intercept and slaughter the women and children of our Lin Family!"

"The Lei and Xie families have gone too far. I have decided to stop retreating. Tonight, we will settle this grudge once and for all and annihilate both the Lei and Xie families!"

"Annihilate the Lei and Xie families!"

"Annihilate the Lei and Xie families!"

"..."

The Lin Family guards were filled with righteous indignation. Led by Qin Ying, Luo Ling, and others, they shouted in unison.

During this period, they had been constantly contracting their defenses, and today, many of their brothers had died at the hands of the Xie family. These guards had been bottling up their frustration for a long time!

Moreover, many of them had witnessed the magnificent feat of Lin Yi killing Xie Qian and knew that Lin Zhentian had successfully broken through to the Yuan Dan Stage. Now, their morale was high and they were full of confidence!

"Lin Xiao will remain to guard Ironwood Manor as a precaution. Everyone else, follow me! First, we execute the Lei family, then we wipe out the Xie family!"

Lin Zhentian waved his hand to silence the crowd, then spoke in a loud voice.

Lin Zhentian was considering not only the annihilation of the Lei and Xie families but also the security of his own rear.

Lin Xiao was now in the Late Heaven Origin Realm, and in the entire Qingyang Town, aside from Lei Bao and Luo Cheng, he had no equal.

Luo Cheng would never move against the Lin Family, and as for Lei Bao, he intended to deal with him personally!

Therefore, having Lin Xiao guard Ironwood Manor was foolproof.

"Yes, Father (Grandfather)!"

Hearing Lin Zhentian's arrangements, Lin Xiao, Lin Yi, and the others responded in unison.

"Lin Xiao, guard the manor well. Everyone else, follow me!"

Lin Zhentian let out a sharp shout and was the first to spur his horse forward, exiting Ironwood Manor and galloping toward the direction of the Lei Family Manor.

Lin Yi, Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and the other Lin Family guards followed closely behind.

Lin Dong, Qing Tan, and the other juniors remained at Ironwood Manor. Lin Yi also left Little Yan behind to bolster the defensive strength of the manor.

As for Little Yan, even compared to the Late Heaven Origin Realm Lin Xiao, it was not much weaker.

Lin Yi followed the main force, galloping on horseback. Nearly an hour later, they finally arrived at the gates of the Lei Family Manor.

Lin Yi and the others did not hide their tracks. When they reached the front of the Lei Family Manor gates, the Lei family naturally discovered them. The manor gates were tightly shut, and on the courtyard walls, the members of the Lei family looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Family Head Lin, what is the meaning of this?" A man with a sharp nose, dressed in grey robes, asked Lin Zhentian with a grave expression from atop the wall.

This man was Lei Ying, one of the Lei family's Heaven Origin Realm experts. It was he and another Heaven Origin Realm expert named Lei Nuo who had guarded Ironwood Manor to prevent the Lin Family from taking it over.

At the time, the Lin Family did not want to completely burn bridges with the Lei family, so they had only repelled them without killing them.

"Your Lei family first sent men to ambush my grandson, Lin Yi, and then colluded with the Xie family to intercept and slaughter our Lin Family's women and children. Now you ask me what I mean? My meaning is simple: today, the Lei family shall be destroyed!"

Lin Zhentian shouted, and immediately, Yuan Power surged within his body as he struck out with a palm!

"Boom!"

A loud explosion rang out in the night sky. The gates of the Lei Family Manor were instantly blasted into splinters by the violent palm force of Lin Zhentian!

"Follow me and kill!"

Lin Zhentian roared, taking the lead as he charged ferociously into the Lei Family Manor!

Lin Yi, Lin Ken, and Lin Mang followed closely behind with the guards.

Seeing this, Lei Ying's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly commanded the Lei family guards to block them with all their might, but he himself did not dare to step forward rashly.

Facing four Heaven Origin Realm experts—Lin Zhentian, Lin Yi, Lin Ken, and Lin Mang—Lei Ying did not want to throw his life away.

"Lin Zhentian, how dare you!"

Just then, a roar filled with fury erupted from within the Lei Family Manor.

As the voice fell, two figures came rushing toward the battlefield at high speed.

The arrivals were none other than the Lei family head, Lei Bao, and the final Heaven Origin Realm expert, Lei Nuo.

"Lin Zhentian, you are courting death!" Seeing Lin Zhentian leading the charge and wreaking havoc, Lei Bao could not help but burn with rage.

Lei Bao's eyes were bloodshot. Yuan Power surged wildly from his body, rapidly condensing on his arms. A brilliant luster, like electric current, accompanied a low, rumbling sound.

This stance was none other than the Lei family's Fourth-Grade martial art, Thunderous Light. However, when executed by Lei Bao, it was far more powerful than when Lei Li had used it.

"Boom!"

Lei Bao stomped his foot hard against the ground, his figure turning into a flickering ball of light as he lunged violently toward Lin Zhentian.

"Hahaha... well come!"

Lin Zhentian laughed loudly. An exceptionally sharp white energy rapidly coiled around his arm. Then, he pressed his two fingers together, and a fierce force tore through the air, striking heavily toward Lei Bao.

"Pure Origin Qi! How is this possible?!"

Seeing the white energy coiling around Lin Zhentian's arm, Lei Bao was instantly struck with terror; his voice turned shrill from the sheer shock of it.

"Swish!"

Under Lei Bao's horrified gaze, the sharp gust of wind shot from Lin Zhentian's fingers easily tore through the ball of Yuan Power he had unleashed.

Following that, the fierce gust of wind continued on its path, unabated, and shot straight toward Lei Bao's chest!

"Swish!"

Lei Bao exhausted every ounce of his strength to barely dodge a fatal blow to his heart, but the sharp gust still pierced through his chest, leaving behind a terrifying, blood-gushing hole!

"Pfft!" Lei Bao spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale, his eyes still filled with disbelief. "Lin Zhentian, you've actually broken through to the Yuan Dan Stage..."

"That's right. For years, your Lei Family has targeted and suppressed my Lin Family; today, it is time to pay your debts!"

Lin Zhentian laughed heartily. "Lei Bao, I'll send you on your way now!"

As his voice fell, Lin Zhentian pressed his fingers together and unleashed another Pure Yuan Finger, the sharp gust of wind instantly shooting toward Lei Bao's heart!

This time, Lei Bao was unable to dodge!

"I... am not reconciled..." Lei Bao looked down at the hole in his heart, his face full of unwillingness as his life force faded away, his corpse hitting the ground with a heavy thud.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this scene, the members of the Lei Family couldn't help but gasp in horror, their hearts filled with absolute dread.

As the head of the Lei Family, Lei Bao was their strongest member, and even the number one person in Qingyang Town!

But now, Lei Bao had been killed by Lin Zhentian in just two moves; it was truly unbelievable!

It wasn't just the ordinary guards of the Lei Family; even Lei Nuo and Lei Ying, those two Heaven Origin Realm experts, had faces drained of all color.

Yuan Dan Stage!

They had heard Lei Bao's words and understood just how terrifying this realm truly was.

It wasn't just the people of the Lei Family who were shocked; the members of the Lin Family were also stunned to see Lin Zhentian kill Lei Bao so easily.

The Yuan Dan Stage was simply too powerful!

"Run!"

After the initial shock, Lei Nuo and Lei Ying made a split-second decision, taking advantage of the fact that the Lin Family hadn't yet reacted to flee in different directions.
