Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 96 The Wan Family's Top Genius: Wan Lei!
Wan Liuchuan frowned again. He could see that Wan Lei was at the end of his rope, with little lightning power left.
His long saber was still stuck in Wan Lei's stomach, preventing him from even standing.
But what was with that look in his eyes? Why was he looking at him like that?
Shouldn't he be in despair? Ashen-faced? Or shouting in anger and unwillingness?
But why did his eyes seem to be saying,
"You fell for it."
Wan Liuchuan looked at Wan Lei doubtfully, then glanced around. Wan Lei's hammer had fallen far away.
He himself was in no condition to fight.
What else could he rely on? Seeing the doubt on Wan Liuchuan's face, the way he was searching around, the mockery in Wan Lei's eyes deepened, and a wicked smile even appeared on his lips.
"What are you laughing at? I've already won. You've lost!"
Wan Liuchuan roared.
Wan Lei's gaze made him very uncomfortable, and he was a little embarrassed and angry.
He had clearly won, and it was clearly Wan Lei who was lying on the ground, but why did he… seem more like the victor than him?
"You won…?"
Wan Lei drew out the last word before finally uttering it.
"Could it be that you still have something to rely on? Some kind of backup plan?"
Wan Liuchuan asked in a deep voice.
"Look at the sky."
Look at the sky?
Wan Liuchuan raised his head, his eyes met with a flash of light.
It was a bolt of lightning striking down.
Boom!!!
The lightning struck Wan Liuchuan, and it also struck Wan Lei.
Both of them were sent flying.
Wan Lei fell heavily, and his injuries were aggravated.
But fortunately, that bolt of lightning had not only hurt him, but also replenished his lightning power.
Wan Lei lay on the ground, using the lightning power to block the penetrating wounds in his stomach and back.
He stood up, teetering.
"Wan Lei!!!"
Wan Liuchuan roared and stood up.
He was embarrassed and angry. He had already won, and Wan Lei had no power to fight back. He had been careless.
He had not guarded against the thunderclouds in the sky.
He had been ambushed by Wan Lei.
He was like a clown, being laughed at by tens of thousands of people.
He was furious.
He gritted his teeth and charged towards Wan Lei with his saber raised.
Wan Lei stood there, his left hand outstretched, and the Thunder God's Hammer automatically flew back into his hand.
Then, he raised his hammer, and a bolt of lightning fell from the thunderclouds in the sky, striking Wan Liuchuan again.
"Ah!!!!"
Wan Liuchuan stood up, covered in dirt, roared at the sky, and raised his saber to the sky, trying to attract lightning to strike Wan Lei.
"You think you're the only one with thunderclouds? Mine are stronger and bigger than yours!"
…
Silence, complete silence.
The thunderclouds in the sky didn't produce so much as a spark of electricity, let alone lightning.
"What's going on?"
Wan Liuchuan panicked. He raised his saber again, but still no lightning appeared.
"Looks like mine are… a little bigger than yours."
Wan Lei had a playful sneer on his lips.
Yes, his were bigger than Wan Liuchuan's, so his thunderclouds could strong-arm Wan Liuchuan's thunderclouds.
"How is that possible? What did you do to my thunderclouds?!"
Wan Liuchuan's eyes widened as he glared at Wan Lei.
His image as a refined and gentle young master was gone.
"To be precise, those are my thunderclouds now."
Wan Lei stood there calmly, his smile undiminished.
"You…"
Wan Liuchuan was about to roar, but his expression changed drastically.
He suddenly remembered that battle in the past, when their two sets of thunderclouds had also merged together.
Wan Lei had manipulated the thunderclouds and forced them into Duanmu Feng's river.
But that time, the fusion could only happen with my consent.
He was actually able to merge my thunderclouds silently without my consent, overriding my will?
How did he do it?
How could he?
At that moment, he remembered a sentence Wan Lei had said earlier:
"King of Thunder? Then let me show you who the real King of Thunder is!"
Yes, who was the King of Thunder?
It was obvious.
"What if you control the thunderclouds? My strength is still greater than yours, and I can still defeat you!"
He was the proud Wan Liuchuan and would never admit defeat.
He charged towards Wan Lei again.
As long as I can withstand the lightning and get close to you, you'll still have to lose.
In your current condition, you won't be able to withstand a single blow from me.
"Then come."
Wan Lei put away his smile, tapped his toes on the ground, and suddenly shot upwards.
He entered the thunderclouds.
Wan Liuchuan followed suit.
But at that moment, the thunderclouds instantly contracted, turning into a cloud only ten zhang in radius. (One zhang is approximately 3.3 meters)
The thunderclouds solidified, and Wan Liuchuan couldn't get in.
He frantically hacked at the thunderclouds, trying to open a gap, rush in, and defeat that damned Wan Lei.
Wan Lei stood in the thunderclouds, absorbing the lightning power inside to heal his injuries while manipulating the lightning to attack Wan Liuchuan outside.
Wan Liuchuan outside was withstanding the attacks while hacking at the thunderclouds, looking like a madman.
Wan Lei inside didn't have to suffer any damage and could even replenish his lightning power, looking relaxed and carefree.
The people in the stands around were already dumbfounded.
They couldn't see the situation inside the thunderclouds, but they could tell that Wan Liuchuan outside was in an extremely miserable state.
Anyone could see that Wan Lei had made an ultimate comeback.
What an amazing reversal.
Wan Xiaotian and Wan Honglin's expressions were extremely ugly.
"Don't worry, Father. That kid Wan Lei can only defend. It won't be long before Liuchuan can break open those thunderclouds and kill him."
Although he said that, Wan Honglin wasn't so sure, looking at Wan Liuchuan's condition.
What if Wan Liuchuan was struck to death before he could open the thunderclouds?
Soon, half an hour passed.
Wan Liuchuan was already covered in wounds.
Without the support of the thunderclouds, it would be difficult for him to defeat Wan Lei, who was blessed with double thunderclouds.
But he couldn't give up.
He was Wan Liuchuan!
He was the number one genius of the Wan Clan.
He was the number one genius of Qishan Prefecture.
If possible, he would even be the number one genius of Lanning Country.
He was the one who would become an unrivaled powerhouse and revive the Wan family in the future. How could he lose to a Wan Lei?
A… good-for-nothing playboy?!
Finally, Wan Liuchuan hacked open a gap in the thunderclouds.
Wan Liuchuan's face lit up, and he rushed in without thinking.
The moment he went in, Wan Lei appeared outside.
At this time, Wan Lei was dressed in white, his face was rosy, his hair was casually scattered on his back, and he looked handsome and unrestrained.
Yes, in the thunderclouds, he had not only recovered from his injuries, but also changed his clothes, washed his face, and washed his hair.
He was just short of finding someone to scrub his back and give him a massage…
"Condense."
Wan Lei smiled slightly, and the gap that Wan Liuchuan had opened instantly healed.
Wan Liuchuan was trapped inside.
Then, Wan Lei flew far, far away before turning back to look at the thunderclouds.
"Explode!"
Boom!!!
The thunderclouds exploded in the full view of tens of thousands of people.
Wan Liuchuan's figure fell from the sky, crashing weakly to the ground, unable to stand up again.
