Kill the castle lord Lei Ao

In a mix of shock and rage, the Grand Elder unhesitatingly turned his head and shot towards the Lei Family Fortress.

By the time he arrived at the family, the Lei Family Fortress was already finished.

He saw that the massive five-colored sword shadow had shattered houses, and the ground was littered with the corpses of Lei Family Fortress disciples.

Blood flowed like rivers, and the stench was pungent!

Among the countless corpses, two figures were locked in fierce combat.

One was Lei Ao, the Lei Family Fortress Master, who had been startled awake and emerged from seclusion, and the other was a young boy who looked somewhat familiar.

"You are... Xiao Ming?!"

After observing for a moment, the Grand Elder cried out in disbelief!

On his way, he had wondered who would dare to attack the Lei Family Fortress so brazenly, and various enemies flashed through his mind, but he had never imagined it would be Xiao Ming!

Hadn't Xiao Ming already been killed by Fourth Brother and the others working together?

How could he be here?!

Also...

Xiao Ming was just a minor disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect; even if he were a true disciple, his strength, according to intelligence, was only at the late Yuangang Realm.

What audacity, what strength did he have to provoke the Lei Family Fortress?!

Just as the Grand Elder stood in stunned disbelief, Xiao Ming and Lei Ao both noticed his arrival.

"Grand Elder, what are you waiting for? Come and help me!" Lei Ao couldn't help but shout at the top of his lungs.

After speaking, he was struck in the chest by Xiao Ming's sword, spitting out a large mouthful of thick blood.

Though they were said to be locked in fierce combat, in reality, Lei Ao was completely suppressed by Xiao Ming!

Severely wounded and with his Cultivation Level plummeting, Lei Ao was no match for Xiao Ming.

Whether it was the density of the true essence within his body or the power of his martial arts, Lei Ao was utterly crushed by Xiao Ming, taking a one-sided beating.

If the Grand Elder didn't intervene soon, he would truly die by Xiao Ming's hand!

"The Fortress Master is no match for Xiao Ming? This isn't right!" The Grand Elder grew even more surprised. "Although the Fortress Master's Cultivation Level has dropped sharply, he has deep foundations and can still exert the combat power of the mid-Danhu Realm. How could he be suppressed by Xiao Ming?"

No sooner had he spoken...

The Grand Elder noticed something was wrong.

He sensed Xiao Ming's aura; Xiao Ming's Cultivation Level was no longer the Yuangang Realm, but the Danhu Realm!

"So that's it, this kid has broken through his Cultivation Level!"

"Fortress Master, don't panic, I'm coming to help you now!" The Grand Elder let out a soft cry, drew the long sword from his waist, and swooped towards Xiao Ming like an eagle.

Xiao Ming cast a wary glance at the approaching Grand Elder, then dismissed him from his mind.

Xiao Ming's most important task now was to quickly kill Lei Ao, and then confront the Grand Elder.

When fighting against multiple enemies, the biggest taboo is to lack focus and attack indiscriminately.

When surrounded by many, rather than injuring five fingers, it's better to sever one!

With a flicker of his body, Xiao Ming used the Wind Spirit Step to vanish from his spot, evading the Grand Elder's attack, and instantly reappeared at Lei Ao's side.

Then, the Nu Lei Sword spewed out a sharp three-foot sword qi, slashing horizontally towards Lei Ao's neck!

Lei Ao was startled; unable to react in time, he instinctively raised the long saber in his hand, holding it before his eyes.

However, this was merely a feint by Xiao Ming!

While slashing horizontally with his sword, Xiao Ming's other palm suddenly rose, and he fiercely swiped at Lei Ao!

With a "sizzle"!

A thick sword aura, over ten meters long, burst forth from Xiao Ming's palm, carrying a chilling sword might as it struck out.

"Bang!"

A dull thud of flesh being struck resounded.

The incomparably sharp sword aura instantly blasted away a large portion of Lei Ao's body into a mist of blood, and the remaining torso, impacted by the immense force, was sent flying over a hundred meters away like a broken sack.

Lei Ao slammed heavily onto the ground, and thick, fresh blood gushed from his wounds like a fountain.

In moments, it stained the ground red.

Having sustained such severe injuries, Lei Ao's eyes rolled back, and his life hung in the balance.

But!

Just as Xiao Ming sent Lei Ao flying, the Grand Elder of the Lei Family Fortress arrived behind Xiao Ming.

"You scoundrel, die!!"

The Grand Elder roared in fury, raised the long sword in his hand, and unleashed a thick sword qi crackling with lightning, its dazzling light and majestic presence striking Xiao Ming's back with full force.

It likewise sent Xiao Ming flying a considerable distance.

After striking Xiao Ming away, the Grand Elder didn't look again.

Because that strike was his strongest offensive technique, named the Imperial Lightning Slash!

Having taken this strike unprotected and head-on, let alone Xiao Ming, who was merely at the early Danhu Realm, even a mid or late Danhu Realm expert would have perished if ambushed by this move!

The Grand Elder rushed to Lei Ao's side with the fastest speed.

"Fortress Master? Fortress Master, are you alright?!"

The Grand Elder asked anxiously, shaking Lei Ao's body at the same time.

Lei Ao showed no reaction.

In fact, his body had already begun to grow cold.

"Dead... the Fortress Master is dead..." Upon seeing that Lei Ao had no vital signs, the Grand Elder murmured, almost unable to believe his eyes.

The dignified Lei Ao, Fortress Master of the Lei Family Fortress, had fallen just like that?

Not just Lei Ao; looking around, he saw that the once glorious and bustling Lei Family now had only him left alive.

It had been almost completely annihilated!

The only fortunate thing was...

The killer, Xiao Ming, had been slain by him; this was the only thing that could improve the Grand Elder's mood.

Just then...

A faint voice suddenly echoed from a distance behind the Grand Elder.

"Hiss... my back is a bit itchy, and my clothes were shredded by the sword qi..."

"Who? Who's speaking?!" The Grand Elder suddenly turned his head, and then, as if he had seen a ghost, his face showed an expression of incredulous horror.

He saw Xiao Ming's figure slowly emerge in the night sky in the distance.

At this moment, Xiao Ming's upper garments were completely torn, revealing his firm chest.

Xiao Ming's chest emanated a soft, five-colored spiritual light, and under the illumination of the light, many peculiar patterns faintly appeared on the surface of his chest.

Not only was Xiao Ming not dead, but he was also full of vigor and looking radiant!

"You're not dead? How is this possible... This is impossible!" The Grand Elder cried out instinctively, like a snake whose tail had been stepped on, instantly falling into a state of extreme shock.

"Am I dead or not? Can't you see? What are those two eyes of yours for?!" Xiao Ming sneered.

He had to admit, the Grand Elder of the Lei Family Fortress's attack was indeed astonishing, especially since Xiao Ming had taken the Grand Elder's furious strike head-on without any preparation.

That strike was enough to kill an unprepared late Danhu Realm expert!

It was just a pity...

Xiao Ming possessed the Five Elements Saint Body.

Even across the entire Xianwu Continent, the Five Elements Saint Body was an extremely renowned top-tier Saint Body!

The Five Elements Saint Body's defense was incredibly abnormal, and furthermore, Xiao Ming could also mobilize the Saint Runes and the Five Elements Power of heaven and earth to make his defense even more indestructible.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Ming dared to disregard the Grand Elder and take his blow head-on!
