The clamorous sounds from all around made Chai Lian and the other two twitch their lips.
People were saying all sorts of things, but not a single one predicted their Fengshen team would win.
Was Wan Lei really that strong?
Chai Lian stepped forward and sneered,
"Junior Brother Wan Lei, your reputation precedes you. I didn't expect it would be you few challenging us this time."
"You should have expected it. The day you bullied my wife, you should have prepared yourself for my revenge."
"Oh? Junior Brother Wan, what makes you say that? I don't believe I did anything wrong back then. You caused havoc on Jing Mountain, you cultivated forbidden arts, and we enforced the law impartially. What was wrong with that?"
"I didn't say you were wrong. If you hadn't been enforcing the law impartially, you would be dead by now, not standing in this arena where killing is forbidden, awaiting my challenge.
To be clear, this time, I am here for personal revenge."
Wan Lei was not angry, nor was he arrogant. He calmly told the other party that he was here for revenge.
"Heh, if enforcing the law and arresting criminals means making enemies, then so be it. I have a clear conscience. I've arrested at least eight hundred criminals, if not a thousand. My enemies are everywhere. If anyone wants revenge, I welcome it."
Chai Lian's words were impassioned, as if Wan Lei were some great villain.
However, Wan Lei was indeed in the wrong in this matter, but he still had to do it.
If his wife was bullied and he didn't fight back, what kind of man would he be?
"Sons of the honored Immortal Venerables, knowing that Wan Lei has erred, will you still associate with him?"
The people opposite him put great pressure on Chai Lian. He thought he could divide them.
"Sorry, we support our own, not the law. We are a team."
"We are bullies."
"We are bad guys."
"We are scoundrels."
This…
Chai Lian was speechless. They had said what he wanted to say, so what could he say now?
"Heh, alright. But as far as I know, Junior Brother Wan is also the strongest殿子 in the Tai Xu Realm of our Five Elements Hall, naturally possessing the ability to challenge those in the Tai Heng Realm with ease. Therefore, I will not treat you as a mere Junior Brother of the Tai Xu Realm.
Since you possess the strength of the Tai Heng Realm, you are the same as me. What's the matter, the strongest殿子 of the renowned Five Elements Hall, are you planning to gang up on us?
Planning to use thirteen people to bully three of us?"
Humph, I don't believe this strongest殿子 of the Five Elements Hall will disregard his reputation.
Actually, Wan Lei truly didn't care about reputation; his reputation was already ruined.
Bullying the Water Hall Master, beating up Water Hall disciples, stealing prisoners while on duty, colluding with a group of scoundrels to bully men and women, what bad deeds hadn't he done?
What was one more?
"When you beat my wife, why didn't you talk about ganging up? Today, we will let you taste what it's like to be ganged up on."
Chai Lian's lips twitched. Where could he find reason in such a situation? He was merely performing his routine duties, and he had provoked such a group of scoundrels.
At this moment, Chai Lian felt like the protagonist of justice, the embodiment of morality, who had offended a group of rich second-generation scoundrels for the sake of enforcing the law impartially and bringing peace to the world. Now he was facing the revenge of the villains. Whether he could escape the danger and soar to success depended on his wisdom.
However, Chai Lian had mistaken one fact: he was not the protagonist; Wan Lei was.
Whatever the protagonist did was right; that was the protagonist's halo.
"Brothers, beat him!"
"Captain, how should we fight?"
Xia Yubing took out her twin sabers, eager to fight.
"How should we fight? With so many of us, do we need tactics? Surround him and beat him!"
"Charge!"
Bao Bao shouted and charged forward first.
The others immediately followed, spreading out and quickly surrounding Chai Lian and the other two.
As the strongest among them, Tian Suanzi took the lead, flicking his horsetail whisk towards Chai Lian, while at the same time, three vines emerged from Bao Bao's Jianmu Heavenly Rod, entwining the enemies.
Wan Qianxin and Dada acted as vanguards, attacking the two Earth Hall disciples from the left and right. Xia Yubing followed closely, ready to seize an opportunity, while Wan Liuchuan and Liu Yuxin also found openings to join the fray.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu…
Their movements were slow; they couldn't squeeze in.
Eleven people surrounded and fought against three. Chai Lian and his two companions stood back-to-back, coordinating their movements to resist the attacks from the enemies.
However, while Chai Lian was powerful and his footwork was swift, making it difficult for Bao Bao to control him, his two companions were not so lucky.
Earth attribute cultivation was inherently strong in defense and weak in speed. In their previous missions, these two served as the primary defense, with Chai Lian as the main attacker.
But facing this large-scale group attack, they were stretched thin.
The two were restrained first, unable to exert their full potential, leaving Chai Lian to face everyone's attacks alone.
"We can't fight like this. You two hold them off for now, and I'll break out first. After disrupting their formation, I'll come back to save you."
After speaking, Chai Lian directly unleashed his Wind Blade Escape technique, soaring over everyone's heads and reaching the outside.
His plan was well-thought-out, intending to contain everyone single-handedly, but he overlooked one point.
There were still two people outside who hadn't squeezed in.
Coincidentally, they were the two strongest.
Seeing Chai Lian escape, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were overjoyed and immediately used their Wind Blade Escape technique to pursue him.
Chai Lian, seeing Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu charging at him, immediately used his Wind Blade Escape technique to flee.
He had fought Fang Xiaoyu before. Fang Xiaoyu alone could fight him to a standstill, and with the even stronger Wan Lei added, his chances of winning were very low.
However, the arena was only so large; where could he escape to?
Wan Lei pursued from behind, while Fang Xiaoyu took a detour to intercept, directly blocking Chai Lian.
The two launched their attacks simultaneously. Wan Lei unleashed a vast ocean of lightning from within him, surging towards Chai Lian.
Fang Xiaoyu's body was also enveloped in fierce winds. As she lightly danced her Rose Sword, countless flower petals appeared within the fierce winds, encircling Chai Lian.
This was the additional attribute of the divine artifact Rose.
Petals drifted with the wind, filling the arena with blooming flowers and fragrant gardens.
But Chai Lian's strength was not to be underestimated. He fiercely thrust his long sword towards the ground, and a storm instantly swept through the surroundings. Fang Xiaoyu's fierce wind domain immediately became unstable.
Seeing this, Wan Lei was about to use his Creation God Disk to suppress Chai Lian, but Fang Xiaoyu acted faster.
A pink lotus flower suddenly appeared between Fang Xiaoyu's eyebrows. The lotus rapidly enlarged and descended above Chai Lian, suppressing him.
This was her innate Kui Lotus.
The appearance of this move immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the disciples watching from the stands.
The goddess was indeed a goddess. Even her fighting was so elegant and romantic, every move and stance was beautiful and moving.
