Chapter 146: Finally Avenging the Blood Feud

…

Actually, in terms of real strength, Lei Qing was still slightly inferior to Zong Wuji. However, Lei Qing relied on his bloody courage and his fighting style of mutual destruction to seize the initiative. With continuous moves, he suppressed Zong Wuji’s erratic movement technique.

Zong Wuji’s movement technique and Fighting Secret Art were both very treacherous and sinister. If he were allowed to fully display them, Lei Qing would have fallen into a very passive situation. But at this moment, Lei Qing fought more and more bravely, bringing all his power into full play. Every move, every style, was fought heartily and comfortably.

But Zong Wuji was worthy of being a personal disciple of the Eagle King of Ten Thousand Eagles Stream. Although he wasn’t the most outstanding of the bunch, he was still very formidable. While being firmly suppressed by Lei Qing, he protected his entire body tightly without any leaks, and his combat experience was old and seasoned. A pair of sinister eyes were constantly looking for a good opportunity to counterattack.

Clang, clang, clang.

A series of metal colliding sounds, mixed with dull explosion sounds, constantly rang out on this empty and vast grassland. In the time it took to burn half a stick of incense, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves, yet it was still a tie. One was brave and advancing, the other was sinister and seasoned.

Whether it was the Blood Wolf Army gang or the Black Iron-rank elites under Gongsun Xu’s command, they all watched with great interest. Being able to quietly witness a battle between two experts of this level was a lucky thing. Perhaps they could comprehend some experience from it, which would be quite beneficial for the improvement of their own cultivation.

Only Zhen Jimu, who was tied on Lei Qing’s Wuzhui, seemed to have found an opportunity, his eyes flickering with a sharp light. He struggled to raise his head and whispered to Gongsun Xu not far away: “Gongsun Xu, save me, save me.”

Gongsun Xu’s ear moved slightly, and his heart struggled a little. But then he immediately flipped off his horse, pretending to check Zhou Han’s injuries. He turned a deaf ear to Zhen Jimu’s plea for help.

“Damn it, Gongsun Xu, you…” Zhen Jimu didn’t dare let Lei Qing hear, so he could only suppress his voice and scold in a low voice.

“Good~” Gongsun Xu suddenly roared, covering up Zhen Jimu’s voice, and praised with a look of high spirits: “Young General’s move is clearly the ‘Lightning Flash and Thunder Clap’ from the Lei Family War Tactic. It is truly dazzling and extraordinarily domineering.”

“Boom~” Lei Qing used one move, Lightning Flash and Thunder Clap, forcing Zong Wuji completely into a defensive state, then connected with a sonic boom fist technique, “Spring Thunder Suddenly Appears.”

With a loud bang.

It was truly like a sudden thunderclap in spring, making one’s blood restless and ears painful. Nowadays, when those Lei Family War Tactics were used by Lei Qing one by one, they had lost a lot of restlessness and gained a lot of steady restraint, step by step moving closer to the realm of great success.

Zong Wuji soon discovered that Lei Qing seemed to be fighting more and more bravely, and the restlessness in his sword technique and Fighting Techniques was gradually fading away. Replacing it was a sense of longevity, thickness, and heaviness like mellow wine vaguely appearing. He then realized that this kid was using this duel to use himself as a whetstone.

Actually, Zong Wuji was becoming more and more frightened as he fought. Up to this point in the battle, he had completely understood that he had underestimated Lei Qing too much. This kid’s power was completely beyond his expectations.

If the fight continued, this kid’s sword techniques and fighting moves would probably become more solid and heavy, reaching the realm of great success. By then, he, Zong Wuji, would definitely not come to a good end. Even his own “Eagle Claw Secret Art” was still quite a distance away from great success.

His eyes rolled around, flashing a trace of cunning and ruthlessness. Ignoring his injuries, he used his shoulder to receive one of Lei Qing’s swords. His figure swayed as he rushed close to Lei Qing, his sharp claw suddenly tearing towards his chest.

He had already made up his mind. As long as Lei Qing stepped back, his subsequent moves would continuously suppress him, and then he would immediately use “Yin Wind Escape” to retreat quickly.

But he thought beautifully, yet forgot that Lei Qing was not the kind of person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Immediately, a trace of fierceness and ruthlessness was revealed in Lei Qing’s seemingly calm eyes. The hatred suppressed until now seemed to erupt completely in an instant.

Like a snow avalanche, like a mountain flood bursting forth.

He allowed the sharp claw to pierce into his chest, relying on his Protective Gang Qi and muscles to slightly block it so it wouldn’t be fatal. The Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi within Lei Qing’s body exploded with a boom, and his power was instantly raised to the extreme.

The Treasure Sword Lian Zhan slashed upwards from below. The Fighting Qi poured into it triggered a violently rotating electric arc. Crackle, pop, the sounds of electric arcs hitting like firecrackers rang out one after another.

The sword momentum stabbed towards Zong Wuji’s lower abdomen at an unstoppable speed. It was blocked slightly by his Protective Gang Qi and inner armor, pausing for a moment. But the violently rotating Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi was like a drill, instantly crushing his Gang Qi and inner armor defenses and stabbing into his abdomen.

At the same time, Lei Qing’s entire body rose up, breaking free from the sharp claw and constantly spinning. Boom, boom, boom, sounds like heavenly thunder rumbled and exploded one after another.

Strands of thunder and lightning exploded on Zong Wuji’s abdomen.

When the two landed together, the injury on Lei Qing’s chest was hideous and terrifying, and his face was pale from excessive consumption of Fighting Qi. However, Zong Wuji’s belly to his back had been opened up with a sea bowl-sized hole by the violently rotating Lian Zhan. His internal organs were either crushed or shattered by the power of the lightning strikes.

He fell to the ground like a dead dog, his eyes white and hollow, his body still twitching and trembling instinctively.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Xu was shocked, but also felt a thump in his chest. This Lei Qing was too bold. He actually didn’t care about his own severe injuries to unleash a move of mutual destruction.

He had always hidden his strongest killer move and held it back, only erupting suddenly after Zong Wuji’s sharp claw pierced his chest. Heavens, didn’t he know that doing so was really too dangerous? If he wasn’t careful, just now, he would have been killed directly by Zong Wuji.

A madman, truly a madman. But Gongsun Xu’s eyes were full of light, as if he had found a very interesting opponent. Being able to rely on scarce resources, and at thirty years old, step by step reach Mid-stage Silver. This itself was enough to prove that Gongsun Xu not only had weak talent but was probably also extremely fond of fighting.

For a guy like him without resources, wanting to advance, besides incomparably hard cultivation, the only way was to constantly challenge his own limits, or put himself in extreme danger, using fear and the instinct to survive to develop his body’s potential and stimulate evolution, making himself stronger.

Actually, Lei Qing also knew that doing so was extremely dangerous. But he had no choice. Zong Wuji was not a chicken that could be slaughtered at will. He was a strong expert, and a very cunning and powerful one at that.

If he couldn’t use a surprise move, killing him would be almost impossible. Given Zong Wuji’s character, once he felt he had no chance of winning, or felt his life was in danger, the first thing he would think of would definitely be to escape immediately.

And although Lei Qing thought his movement technique wasn’t weak, trying to catch up to Zong Wuji and then kill him was truly as hard as climbing to the sky. If he missed this good opportunity, with Zong Wuji’s cautious, sinister, and cunning character, after knowing how powerful he was, he certainly wouldn’t wander in front of him again.

Then, if he wanted to find him for revenge, it would be hard to even find him. For the sake of hatred, to let his fallen brothers rest in peace, Lei Qing had to choose some extremely risky tactics.

Fortunately, he succeeded, only paying the price of severe injuries. At this time, Lei Qing’s face was incomparably pale. Although he used some remaining Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi to stop the bleeding, such a severe injury, and the sinister Fighting Qi lingering on his chest, made him extremely weak.

However, the hatred and anger suppressed in his chest for a long time were completely released in an instant.

“Roar!” Lei Qing roared at the sky.

The crazy Blood Wolf Soldiers, seeing this scene, also felt fear towards Lei Qing in their hearts. Shocked by his roar, they couldn’t help but take a few steps back each.

“Fallen brothers, I, Lei Qing, have kept my promise and killed Zong Wuji to avenge you.” Lei Qing’s voice shouting to the sky was somewhat hoarse and desolate. Thinking of the battle back then, where his brothers were either severely wounded or died miserably under Zong Wuji’s claws one by one, his heart felt the pain of dripping blood. At that time, he felt his own power was weak, and he was helpless against the powerful Zong Wuji. That sense of powerlessness also made Lei Qing hate himself deeply.

Lei Qing with difficulty bent down and used the Treasure Sword Lian Zhan to cut off Zong Wuji’s head, which still seemed to have died with regrets.

“You spirits in heaven, you all saw that, right?” Lei Qing, covered in blood, held up the bloody, hideous head and laughed heartily with a sense of relief: “I will take his head to your graves to pay respects. When the time comes, go and reincarnate well. Eighteen years later, we will be brothers again. We will drink big mouthfuls of wine, eat big mouthfuls of meat, and be free and happy.”

Lei Qing’s words silenced everyone present. Even those cruel and fierce Blood Wolf Soldiers showed adoration and reverence for Lei Qing in their eyes.

They were Blood Wolf Soldiers, enemies of Lei Qing, but they were also men. They also respected and worshipped powerful and incomparably domineering enemies. That their style became similar to the Butcher was also why they worshipped the Butcher Yuwen Hu. That kind of worship made them follow him into madness and be unable to extricate themselves.

The elite soldiers under Gongsun Xu’s command also cast their gazes of respect towards Lei Qing. Such a leader, even using a move of mutual destruction to avenge his fallen brothers, this kind of bravery and loyalty naturally made them feel reverence for Lei Qing.

This had nothing to do with stance, nothing to do with faction. It was just a kind of respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, even Zhen Jimu, who was just complaining in his heart that Gongsun Xu was not righteous enough and not loyal enough, and refused to take the opportunity to save him and run away, also had a complex look in his eyes, staring in great shock at Lei Qing, who looked like a madman roaring at the sky. It was as if only at this moment did he truly feel Lei Qing’s flair and unique difference.
