He just couldn't understand what was so good about this woman other than being good-looking. She was as cold as an iceberg.

Slow wiggling girls were better, charming and cute, you could spank them anytime…

"You're not allowed to insult Xiaoyu!"

The indifference on Huo Xingyuan's face instantly disappeared, replaced by furious anger.

"Wait."

"What?!"

"The Huo family is trash."

"...Oh."

"Fang Xiaoyu is trash!"

"You're asking for death!"

"..." Wan Lei.

This guy was a little crazy.

Huo Xingyuan had had enough of Wan Lei's teasing. Holding the treasured gourd, he roared at Wan Lei.

A monstrous wave of flames swept towards Wan Lei. Wan Lei put on his Thunder Armor, summoned a protective shield, and plunged into the flames.

He endured the flames, and with his hammer, swung upwards from below, hitting Huo Xingyuan's chin.

"Ah!!!"

Before Huo Xingyuan could land, Wan Lei had already chased after him, kicking him in the chest.

Huo Xingyuan crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

Wan Lei descended from the sky, smashing down with his hammer. Huo Xingyuan slammed his right palm hard on the ground, his body flipping up and sliding to the side, dodging Wan Lei's hammer.

The lightning on the hammer exploded on the ground, and Huo Xingyuan, who had just landed, was blown away again.

He was completely defenseless!

"You... are really strong. Maybe you can fight Fang Xiaoyu. I have a feeling that the number one genius of the nine major forces might lose to you."

Huo Xingyuan clutched his chest and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Wan Lei pointed his hammer at the sky, and a sky full of thunder descended, directly sealing off all the area around Huo Xingyuan, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Huo Xingyuan shouted loudly, and the treasured gourd suddenly grew larger, resting on his head.

The thunder struck the treasured gourd, which shook for a while, but fortunately, it was not shattered and held on.

Wan Lei burst into action, rushing towards Huo Xingyuan and smashing down with his hammer.

Huo Xingyuan produced a jade pendant and crushed it. A protective shield appeared in front of him.

Boom!!!

The hammer smashed heavily on the protective shield. After a crisp sound, the protective shield exploded.

The force of the explosion blew both Huo Xingyuan and Wan Lei away.

"Starfire Burns the Plains!"

Huo Xingyuan shouted loudly, and endless flames poured out from the treasured gourd, instantly filling the entire formation.

"Is this guy trying to die with me?"

Wan Lei was a little confused. He clearly saw the flames burning on Huo Xingyuan's body as well.

"Kid, don't be stupid, quickly finish him off. This is his Flame Domain. The more he burns himself, the stronger he becomes. He won't be burned to death.

Just like you get stronger the more you're struck by lightning, will you be struck to death by your own lightning?"

Lei Shaoye really wanted to tell the little yellow dog that he was really struck to death by his own lightning in his previous life.

Huo Xingyuan disappeared in an instant, reappearing behind Wan Lei, his fist covered in flames, punching towards the back of Wan Lei's head.

Wan Lei reacted extremely quickly, smashing his hammer behind him, but found that his speed had slowed down.

He was punched by Huo Xingyuan and fell heavily to the ground.

This was the suppression of the domain, suppressing the enemy's cultivation, suppressing the enemy's speed, and even, when the domain was used to its limit, it could completely manipulate the space and even time within the domain.

It's a pity, I need to wait until I light up the fifth rune before I can use my own Thunder Sea Domain.

Without time to think, Huo Xingyuan had already attacked. Wan Lei retreated and used Thunder Escape, directly dodging his attack.

Fortunately, Huo Xingyuan was just a Core Formation cultivator, and he couldn't suppress space with his domain yet.

"Wan Lei, you die for me!"

Huo Xingyuan's whole body was engulfed in flames, and he punched fiercely at Wan Lei.

Before the fist arrived, a fireball had already struck Wan Lei.

Wan Lei shattered the fireball with a palm, and he also took several steps back.

Huo Xingyuan rushed over and engaged Wan Lei in close combat. For a time, he was actually able to display the same combat power as Wan Lei.

This made Wan Lei very puzzled. After careful observation, he realized that the flames burning on Huo Xingyuan's body had already scorched his skin black.

He was really burning himself, burning his cultivation, and even burning his domain,

to enhance his own strength.

Wan Lei had a premonition that once he really reached the last moment of his life, he would definitely detonate his domain, and then, he would probably be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Indeed, one should not underestimate any opponent.

Fortunately, Wan Lei had a way.

"Whispers... of Cranes!" (Fengsheng... Helie!)

The sound of wind whistling and cranes鸣鸣 instantly rang out, piercing directly into Huo Xingyuan's eyebrows. His murderous figure immediately stopped in its tracks.

Although Wan Lei's move didn't directly kill Huo Xingyuan, it put him in a state of intense soul pain.

The Flame Domain lost control and disappeared.

Wan Lei punched him in the head, knocking him to the ground, then raised the Thunder God's Hammer high and smashed Huo Xingyuan's dantian.

His soul was severely damaged, half of his head was shattered, and his dantian was completely destroyed.

He was not far from death.

The dying Huo Xingyuan fell to the ground, looking weakly at the sky.

"Xiaoyu..."

He murmured.

"You lost. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can say them. Don't worry, I won't care."

Wan Lei squatted beside Huo Xingyuan, his eyes full of mockery.

All of this was Huo Xingyuan's own fault.

"I... am not reconciled, for failing to... kill you for her."

"If you killed me for her, she would hate you for the rest of her life."

Fang Xiaoyu's greatest wish was to kill Wan Lei with her own hands.

"That's fine too. At least, she'll have me in her heart."

Wan Lei frowned slightly.

Huo Xingyuan struggled to raise his hand and took out a... statue from his arms.

The statue was the size of a palm, and Wan Lei could tell that it was Fang Xiaoyu.

"Fortunately, she's not broken."

Looking at the statue with affectionate eyes, as if she were right in front of him, in his arms.

"You're so obsessed with her, even if she has children in the future, they won't be named after you."

"It doesn't matter, I can take my wife's surname."

Huo Xingyuan smiled, a very satisfied smile.

Wan Lei looked at her in disbelief. This person was the most terminally ill of all the Xiaoyu Syndrome patients he had ever seen.

Huo Xingyuan tremblingly brought the statue to his eyes, raised his head, and with his lips that had been beaten out of shape, gently kissed the statue's...

foot.

"I'm not worthy to kiss her. Being able to kiss her foot is my greatest honor.

She... even in my dreams, she is always so high above, so sacred. How can someone like me dare to dream of getting her?

I'm not worthy...

Xiaoyu...

I'm sorry, I couldn't... protect you."

He closed his eyes,

and died.

The statue rested on his slightly raised嘴角, transformed into eternity.
