Chapter 10: Defeated and in Retreat (Part 2)

  At first, the two of them fought with their respective attributes, but as the battle went on, their anger grew and their attacks became more ferocious. The two eventually began to engage in close combat.

  Lei Xingfeng's fist was surrounded by lightning, while the other person's fist emitted flames. Direct attacks were more effective and efficient, so both of them instinctively used close combat, with fists against fists, feet against feet, and their bodies clashed fiercely.

  Boom!

  That man punched a flame onto Lei Xingfeng's arm, and it fiercely burned. Lei Xingfeng's arm shook, and an electric arc flashed from his shoulder to his wrist, instantly extinguishing the flames. Immediately after, Lei Xingfeng counterattacked with a punch to that man's shoulder, and a series of dazzling white lights flashed. That man's shoulder burst into flames, blocking the electrical attack.

  The two men went crazy and counterattacked, in less than two minutes, the surrounding houses collapsed in a large area, and the flames that rose were as high as seven or eight meters. In the flames, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and both of them vented their anger, recklessly launching a fierce counterattack without caring about anything else.

  Tan Da and Wu Zhen have run to the outside of the town, watching the small town rise with big fire and thick smoke. Wan Dao led his men to escape as well, along with the townspeople who were able to flee to the outside of the town.

  "Ten thousand knives are piercing my heart," he said, "My...my hometown is finished!"

  "Let's change places again."

  Wan Dao let out a bitter laugh and said, "I don't know where else would be suitable, sigh." He couldn't blame anyone, this was just how the world was, complaining was useless. If he were a Five-Ring True Person, he could have driven these two guys away, but unfortunately, he was only a small-time Mystic Wheel Master and didn't even qualify to drive away Lei Xingfeng and Masked Man, let alone watch as the town was destroyed before his eyes.

  Tan Da said: "Otherwise, you can follow us, hehe."

  "Follow you? Where are we going?"

  Tan Da said: "At the edge of Wanhu Zhou, in the lake."

  Wan Dao couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that the edge of Wan Hu Zhou was all big lakes, and the living conditions there were far worse than here. He shook his head and said: "Forget it, I'll find another place... Hmm, maybe after this battle... we can rebuild the town..."

  Tan Da couldn't help but shake his head. If Leixingfeng won, maybe nothing would happen for the time being. However, once Leixingfeng left, if the masked man came again and saw Wanjian and the others, he would definitely vent his anger on them. Even if they didn't kill the town, Wanjian and the others wouldn't be able to escape and would definitely be killed.

  However, Tan Da also stopped persuading him, this was Wan Dao's choice, he couldn't decide his fate.

  "I don't know... whether we can win this time."

  Tan Da couldn't figure it out either, after all he was only a first-ring True Person, and the battle between fourth-ring True Persons had already exceeded his understanding and speculation.

  Boom!

  Another house was set on fire, Wan Dao's face looked increasingly ugly. A large number of ordinary people escaped from the town, crying and shouting, running wildly in all directions. Wan Dao said: "Qi Yao Yan, organize some men to gather them together, if they run around like this, there will be more casualties."

  Qī Yào nodded and led a group of people to gather the residents of the small town.

  ……

  Lei Xingfeng was getting more and more excited as he fought, and before they knew it, the two of them had already been fighting for over ten minutes, completely destroying half of the town.

  That person, as the battle raged on, felt wave after wave of despair. It was clear that his opponent was growing stronger in combat. He had used every trick in the book just to barely hold his own and not lose, but very few of his subordinates were still alive, most having been killed by stray attacks, with only a tiny handful managing to escape. The most infuriating thing was that Lei Xingfeng seemed to be getting more energetic as the battle went on. He couldn't help but curse inwardly - this guy was too abnormal.

  Lei Xingfeng finally couldn't bear it, and once again released a thunder seal. In the midst of the thunderous roar, that person fled in disarray, never thinking that Lei Xingfeng still had such an abnormal thing hidden away.

  Once he started fleeing, the man realized that he was thoroughly defeated and it would be extremely difficult to turn things around. At this point, he didn't want to continue fighting anymore.

  Lei Xingfeng did not expect the other party to escape, slightly hesitated, and that person had disappeared, angry that he burst into a loud scolding, he hadn't even enjoyed the fight, his opponent had escaped.

  He took the remaining few subordinates and escaped to the wheel point, turned back and said: "I'll find you again... Let's go!" He opened the wheel point and left with a few subordinates.

  Lei Xingfeng arrived at the outskirts of town and found Tan Da, saying: "Let's go back!" He didn't dare to continue running wildly either, knowing that he had become a target for the masked organization to hunt down, and continuing to run wildly would be unwise.

  "Alright, let's go back."

  "Senior, will those people... come back?"

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "It's bound to happen, you'd better leave, it's very dangerous to stay here."

  Wan Dao let out a sigh and said: "Yes, senior."

  Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment, then took out several wheel rings and said: "This is compensation for you. Sorry, I didn't expect the Qiu family to find this place either."

  Wan Dao took over the wheel ring and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Lun Huan?"

  Tan Da said: "Not bad, it's a ring, your luck is good, this thing has a great effect on you."

  At that moment, Wan Dao's mind was balanced, and he said: "Thank you, senior. I'll take my leave." He naturally understood the effect of the wheel ring. For a secret wheel master who wanted to advance, the wheel ring was a good thing that could greatly help him advance to the true person.

  Lei Xingfeng took Tan Da and Wu Zhen back to the starting point, opened the wheel point, and returned through the ancient wheel passage.

  ……

  Eight days later, Lei Xingfeng brought Fēng Yù and Shì Hǔ out of the Wheel Point again. This time, Lei Xingfeng did not bring Tan Da and Wu Zhen, but instead brought two guards back to the small town.

  Both guards possessed the Eight-Ring True Body, and Lei Xingfeng was skeptical. How many high-ranking True People could the Masked Man organization have? This time, he not only brought two guards but also contacted Xin Zhaolun, the third martial brother, through the guards, asking him to come to the central area of Wanhu Zhou.

  Third Master Xin Zhaolun is actually the true body of the Ninth Ring, and he was just one step away from advancing to the Super High Hand of the True Lord. Once he came, Lei Xingfeng could really walk sideways.

  "Is this the town?" said the mad eagle.

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "Yes, it's this small town. Hmm, where have all the people gone?"

  The whole town was dead and still, with no one in sight. After a cursory examination, it was found that the townspeople had all left, of course, including Wan Dao and these cultivators.

  "Very normal," said Shi Hu. "You've already destroyed half the town, and for now, no one dares to live here. After a while, it should recover."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Yes."

  "Frenzied Eagle said: 'This masked man organization... I've never heard of it before, don't know where it came from?'"

  Lei Xingfeng bitterly smiled and said: "I don't know either, it inexplicably locked onto me."

  "Never mind, if they appear again, I'll find their nest and wipe them out, haha, a clear conscience."

  Lei Xingfeng felt a chill in his heart. This was the ruthlessness of an expert, not entangling at all, finding the old nest and directly exterminating the family.

  "Ha! They're in trouble now that they've messed with you."

  Lei Xingfeng said, "I didn't want to mess with them, I just wanted to find someone. Who knew I'd run into this group of lunatics? They don't even explain, they just kill as soon as they see you. It's really damn unlucky." He just wanted to find his little sister and grandfather, but he hadn't expected to encounter such a terrible thing shortly after leaving the house.

  Feng Ying said: "Is there another turning point nearby?"

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "Yes, and there's another reason. This is a commercial road, a must-pass place between two major cities, that's why this small town exists."

  "Go!" shouted Fēng Yīng. He carried Léi Xīngfēng on his back, and together with Shì Hǔ, they flew towards another turning point. In just a moment, they arrived at another turning point.

  Lei Xingfeng said, "I reckon that guy should have retreated from here. But after the wheel point is activated, it can lead to many places. We won't be able to find their lair. Dammit, I don't know if they can track us down." At this time, he actually hoped that his opponent would come and find him, so he wouldn't have to search for them himself.

  "Fear not, you've killed a few of their true expert-level masters. Heh heh, I reckon they're already seething with hatred and will definitely come after you."

  "Where are you going?" asked Hui Hu.

  "Go where there are many people."

  "Good, let's go," said Shi Hu nodding his head.

  ……

  Bo Yuan City

  Through the hub, the most densely populated area is easily found to be the famous Poyang City, a city located on the central island of Lake Poyang, and various small islands around it are also inhabited by people. Every island near Lake Poyang has one or two settlements, and many small islands are purely fishing villages.

  Lei Xingfeng and the other two walked out of the wheel point, and immediately discovered that this place was different. Lei Xingfeng found for the first time that after coming out of the wheel point, this was actually a small city located on an island. The island was about 20 kilometers in diameter, and in the wave source lake, it was considered a medium-sized to small island.

  The island's edge was lined with big and small boats, the only means of transportation here were boats. Without a boat, it would be almost impossible to move an inch. Of course, if one had the ability to tame eagles and ride tigers, they wouldn't need a boat either. Flight had always been a privilege reserved for high-ranking True Humans. Even Lei Xingfeng, who had reached the Fourth Ring True Body and was a Great Wheel Imprint True Human, didn't have the ability to fly.

  All around were vendors and peddlers setting up various small stalls, with food stalls taking up more than half.

  Lei Xingfeng and two others had just left the Wheel Point when they heard someone shouting loudly, "Please don't stay, leave the Wheel Point quickly, there are people coming from behind."

  Several practitioners were directing traffic at the roundabout, as if this was a major thoroughfare.

  Lei Xingfeng and two others quickly walked down the wheel point, immediately followed by several more people who seemed to frequently come and go from here, without needing to be reminded, they ran down the wheel point.

  A practitioner walked over quickly and said: "The three of you, come over here to register."

  "Registration?" Lei Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise.

  ………

  Third watch, asking for votes.
