Lei Xiang was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground.
Some Thunder Sect disciples couldn't bear to watch and wanted to step forward to help, Xie Feng casually said, "If you dare to save him, you'll lose a palm strike too!"
The man looked up and, upon seeing Xie Feng's gleaming eyes, retreated in terror!
Because of those words, for a moment, no one dared to make a move.
With his disciple's hand severed in front of everyone, and the others threatened into silence, Lei Ao felt utterly humiliated.
He frowned, and with a flick of his wrist, a long sword appeared!
The blade flashed fiercely!
"No one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of this Holy Son!"
"I, the Holy Son, will kill you!"
With that, he slashed down with his sword!
The blade's edge, like a menacing white rainbow, shot forth.
Xie Feng shook his head and sighed, "With such a despicable character, does he deserve to be a holy son of a sect?"
The blade's edge arrived with a sudden, chilling flash!
At this moment!
Suddenly, Little Nine pounced, opening its blood-red maw and viciously crushing the blade with its sharp and terrifying teeth!
Click, click!
Fragments of the blade were scattered all over the floor!
Its teeth were completely undamaged.
The sudden appearance of Little Nine shocked everyone around her.
"My... my knife..."
Lei Ao stared at the shattered knife, his eyes filled with disbelief. At this moment, all he had in his hand was the hilt!
"Damn it!"
He stared at Little Nine with a ferocious expression, threw down the knife hilt with a bang, and then clenched his fists so tightly that crackling sounds of lightning emanated from them!
White lightning bolts shot up from his hands!
As the Holy Son of the Thunder Sect, he naturally possessed the power of thunder.
The surrounding audience was terrified!
"It's over! These people have completely enraged Lei Ao!"
"He's from the Thunder Sect!"
"In our north, who dares to oppose the Thunder Sect? They are far too arrogant!"
"Quick, let's get away! We don't want to get caught in the crossfire. I don't want to end up a charred corpse!"
At this moment, there were no more spectators on the first floor.
Because everyone who was there to watch the commotion had gone up to the second floor.
They probably think that the higher you stand, the farther you can see...
Seeing Lei Ao amidst the lightning, A Ling glanced at him sideways and thought to herself, "Child's tricks!"
Seeing that Lei Ao was enraged and about to get serious, Xie Feng's expression remained unchanged.
Lei Ao is Middle-stage God Emperor!
Although he has the appearance of a young man, he is actually over a hundred years old.
This is one of the benefits of being a cultivator.
Forever young!
Of course, as time goes by, the marks of time will eventually become apparent.
For an ordinary person, lifespan is unlikely to exceed one hundred years.
His eyes were bloodshot and erratic; he looked like he was about to go berserk.
Little Nine charged ahead, his nine snake heads dancing Mad Demon!
A battle was about to begin when someone hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Stop!!"
A middle-aged man dressed in a grayish-brown coat strode over and sternly stopped Lei Ao.
"Holy Son! Before you came, you promised me you wouldn't fight with anyone!"
The middle-aged man glared at Lei Ao, then patted him on the shoulder, instantly dissipating the lightning power within the latter's body.
Upon seeing him, Lei Ao's eyes returned to normal, even showing a hint of evasion. "Elder, what brings you here?"
The middle-aged man angrily said, "If I hadn't come, you would have ruined the reputation of the Thunder Sect!"
Beside.
Xu Fei whispered, "Brother, this is Thunder Sect Lei Lian, the Grand Elder of the Thunder Sect! I heard he'll be participating in this Soul Battle!"
Xie Feng nodded without saying anything.
After reprimanding Lei Ao, Lei Lian turned around, took a deep breath, and smiled at Xie Feng, saying, "Young master, I already know the reason for this. Being bumped into is a normal thing. Who hasn't been bumped into when they're out and about? It was indeed my sect's disciple who acted arrogantly. You just taught him a lesson. If you ask me, let's just consider this matter wiped clean and let it go, how about that?!"
Xie Feng frowned slightly. This person, is he really that easy to talk to?
That's so unconventional!
Gu Yu said, "Elder, is that right? You're quite perceptive!"
Understanding human nature...
Something about Lei Lian's voice sounded off...
However, he didn't take it to heart, and just chuckled, saying, "When you're out in the world, having more friends means having more options. Who among those who participate in the Soul Battle is easy to mess with? My Thunder Sect doesn't want to cause trouble and ruin its reputation. May I ask your esteemed name? Perhaps one day Thunder Sect can pay you a visit and we can become friends!"
Xie Feng laughed and said, "Elder, you are too modest. In this matter, Little Cang did indeed act a bit too harshly. Oh dear, we are newcomers and did not know you were from the Thunder Sect. If we had known you were disciples of the renowned Thunder Sect in the North, we would certainly have been more amicable and become friends! Since the Elder says so, well, let's call it even! My name is Xie Feng, and I come from the Jade Pivot Sect, a small sect."
Jade Pivot Sect...
Lei Lian silently memorized this name in his heart.
His years of experience in the underworld had taught him that the more unknown someone was, the greater the chance of them becoming a dark horse!
Thunder Sect has a terrible reputation, and ever since he became the Grand Elder, he has been working hard to clear his name.
Because he knew that for a force to last, besides strength, reputation was even more important!
"Elder, Lei Xiang has fainted from the pain!"
"Elder, are we just going to wipe the slate clean like this? What about Lei Xiang's severed hand...?"
"Why is the Grand Elder so humble towards someone from such an insignificant, lowly family?"
After Lei Xiang fainted, the disciples became somewhat agitated and kept grumbling.
Lei Ao, in particular, was furious.
Seeing that there was conflict among them, Xie Feng immediately stood up from his stool. "Elder, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer. As for your disciple..."
He glanced at the unconscious Lei Xiang, took out a healing medicine, and handed it to Lei Lian through the Gu Yu.
"Don't refuse this common medicine for wounds!"
With that, he turned and left, heading back upstairs to rest!
Gu Yu and the others followed one after another.
A Ling was walking at the back, suddenly stopped, extended her hand, and said calmly, "I heard that your sect's disciples wrecked our rooms? There are five rooms in total, one hundred gold coins per room. Please give me these."
Lei Lian's expression was solemn as he slowly glanced at her.
A Ling gave him a sincere smile.
Lei Lian took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and gave it!
A Ling reached out and took the cloth bag he gave her. Her hand deliberately touched Lei Lian's fingers, while simultaneously releasing a tiny wisp of silver electricity!
Sizzle!
Lei Lian's figure suddenly swayed!
His eyes widened instantly, staring at her in disbelief!
Just now!
When that tiny current touched him, a vast and powerful force of lightning suddenly struck his soul!
Its power is as fierce as a raging storm!
It almost shattered his soul!
Compared to the Thunder Sect 'A Ling lightning power was like a grandson meeting his ancestor!
A Ling quickly withdrew her hand, winked at him with her right eye, and gave a provocative smile, "Did you feel it? This is the real... power of lightning!"
"Sir, you are...?" Lei Lian broke out in a cold sweat, his face twitching!
"Don't get cocky. I'm not a member of the Thunder Sect, and I have absolutely no connection with your Thunder Sect."
After saying this, A Ling smiled faintly and drifted away.
The Grand Elder was still in a daze!
