Chapter 25 Borrowing Your Heavenly Tribulation

"Huh?"

Qi Manyao opened her eyes wide, her face full of confusion as she looked at Duanmu He, who was convulsing on the ground. Her little head couldn't figure out what was going on.

Could it be...?

She raised her head and looked at the sky.

There was a formation up there, and inside the formation, a patch of thunderclouds was getting beaten.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared in the thunderclouds, passed through the formation, and struck Duanmu He.

Duanmu He,

Was dead.

Even someone as simple as Qi Manyao knew that Wan Lei was protecting her.

She was filled with worry. Those were Yuanying stage experts, after all. Any one of them was like an insurmountable mountain to her. Yet Wan Lei was now facing the attacks of three Yuanying stage experts.

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be on the verge of collapsing under the attacks of the three Yuanying stage experts.

"Hmph, you dare to be distracted and attack others while fighting us. You truly have a death wish.

Once this old man breaks through these thunderclouds, I will tear you to pieces!"

"Ba Xin, you're the loudest of them all. If this young master gets out, I'll definitely take you down first!"

"Your turtle shell is already full of cracks. How much longer can it last?!"

Ba Xin was right. Wan Lei's thunderclouds were indeed on the verge of collapse.

"Kid, it can't hold on any longer. Run!"

The little yellow dog returned to Wan Lei's side.

"If I run, what will happen to the Wan family? My grandfather and father are still down there!"

"I mean, leave the thunderclouds first, blow them up to give them a taste, and then fight them."

Wan Lei knew that the thunderclouds couldn't hold on any longer. Rather than being shattered by them, he might as well blow them up himself.

Once he made up his mind, Wan Lei flashed out of the thunderclouds, using Thunder Escape to appear outside the formation.

Then...

"Explode!!!"

With a loud roar from Wan Lei, the thunderclouds exploded, sending the three Yuanying stage cultivators flying once again.

"Wan Lei!!!"

The three of them, Qi Xiaoxiao, were in a sorry state. Although their injuries weren't too severe, they were, after all, dignified Yuanying stage experts. To be injured by a Jiedan stage junior again and again was undoubtedly a great humiliation.

Wan Lei had no more tricks up his sleeve. He simply couldn't defeat them, and could only rely on self-destruction to cause some damage to the enemy.

He had already self-destructed the Thunder Ferocious Beast and the thunderclouds.

Now, outside the formation, he could only rely on the formation to barely suppress and resist them. But if this continued, the formation wouldn't last long either. Then he would have to self-destruct the great formation.

And then... self-destruct the Thunder Origin.

Wan Lei had made up his mind. If things really became irreversible, he would find a way to take Tiansuan Zi and Qi Manyao with him to escape first, and let his grandfather and father find a way to escape to the main residence, and then seek a future counterattack.

After all, as long as there's life, there's hope.

The three Yuanying stage cultivators frantically bombarded the formation, while Wan Lei desperately suppressed and maintained it from the outside.

Each attack from the enemy would worsen his injuries. He no longer had thunderclouds and had no way to quickly recover, so he could only rely on the thunder power in his natal Thunder Origin to provide him with strength.

Wan Lei had always been optimistic and full of fighting spirit, but this time, in the face of absolute power, he couldn't see any hope.

Fortunately, he didn't have to hold on for too long.

"Kill!!!"

A roar came from the north.

Wan Lei looked up and was overjoyed. The reinforcements sent by the main residence and the east residence had arrived.

Only an hour had passed from the start of the battle to now. The reason why the reinforcements arrived so quickly was that as soon as they received the news that the enemy army was heading towards the south residence, the reinforcements had set off immediately.

"Lei'er, hold on, I'll come help you!"

The old patriarch took the lead, his powerful cultivation fluctuations erupting as he charged towards Wan Lei.

"Heh, I knew it, you're a Yuanying stage cultivator!"

Wan Lei put away his mask, wiped the blood-stained face, and swallowed some healing pills.

"Patriarch, my great formation won't last long. Let's go in and fight them together. With the great formation here, we can prevent them from escaping."

"That's exactly what I intend to do!"

"Hmph, arrogant and conceited. This old man will see just how strong you, Wan Yangfan, really are, even if you are a Yuanying!"

Ba Xin snorted coldly and took the lead to kill Wan Yangfan, who had entered the formation.

The old patriarch summoned a long spear. Water flowed over the spear, and with a swing, the water turned into a water column, smashing heavily into Ba Xin's stomach.

"Ah!!!"

Ba Xin screamed miserably and flew backward, crashing heavily into the wall of the formation.

"You... you're in the middle Yuanying stage!"

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

Qi Xiaoxiao and Duanmu Wenda's expressions changed drastically.

"This old thing hasn't shown his strength for a hundred years, yet he secretly cultivated to the middle Yuanying stage. He's really pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!"

"Everyone, focus fire and kill this old thief first!"

After Duanmu Wenda finished speaking, he immediately charged towards the Wan family patriarch.

With him taking the lead, Qi Xiaoxiao and Ba Xin also followed.

Qi Xiaoxiao was a genius, a disciple of the Kaitian Sword Sect, so naturally, he had the ability to challenge those above his level.

"Lei'er, you go heal first, leave this to me."

"No, I said, I'm going to kill this old thief Ba Xin first!"

Wan Lei swung his hammer and blocked Ba Xin's path, fighting with him.

"Little thief, do you really think this old man can't kill you?"

"Hmph, in a one-on-one situation, fighting an old thief in the early Yuanying stage, I can't think of a reason to lose!"

Wan Lei wielded his hammer, and he and Ba Xin fought together without losing any ground.

Actually, he could only bully Ba Xin.

If it were any other younger, early-stage Yuanying cultivator, he might not be able to beat them.

This Ba Xin was similar to Qiu Tianchi, both of whom had only broken through to the Yuanying stage at an old age. His talent was poor, and his combat strength was weak, so Wan Lei was confident in fighting him.

On the other side, the old patriarch was surrounded by water, protecting himself while fighting with Qi Xiaoxiao and Duanmu Wenda.

On the battlefield below, with the addition of the Wan family's reinforcements, the defenders barely managed to maintain their declining momentum and resist the enemy's attack.

The balance of the battle began to tilt towards the Wan family.

The battle was extremely fierce. Unknowingly, another hour had passed.

Wan Lei slammed his hammer on Ba Xin's shoulder and stopped, panting heavily.

Suddenly, dark clouds that blotted out the sky appeared.

This was clearly not an ordinary natural thundercloud. Wan Lei felt the aura of the Heavenly Dao within it.

At the same time, a figure let out a long roar and appeared in the sky above South Garrison City.

"It's Wan Hongxin!"

"This is his... Yuanying Heavenly Tribulation!"

Whether it was the allied forces or the defenders, everyone saw Wan Hongxin's figure in the sky, facing the Heavenly Tribulation.

Wan Lei was overjoyed at the sight.

It couldn't have come at a better time.

The counterattack was at hand.

"Father, let me borrow your Heavenly Tribulation!"
