After Being Reborn, I Refuse To Be The Holy Son Of The Sect Anymore

Chapter 110:

“Crackle!”

Electric light burst forth from Lei Lie’s body, dancing like serpents around him. Desperate to protect the others, the Enforcement Elder was forcing himself to activate the Azure Sun Sword Sect’s secret technique, burning his potential without regard for the consequences. His entire body shimmered with an aura of destruction, and even Minghe and Yin Yue couldn’t help but grow wary.

After all, Lei Lie was a Divine Martial Realm cultivator. Though grievously injured in his earlier battle with the Blood Fiend, his unleashed potential made him a dangerous opponent, even for these two formidable Demon Sect practitioners.

Still, Minghe and Yin Yue had no intention of wasting this opportunity.

They needed to let Qin Fei’s charade play out, allowing him to win the sympathy of the Azure Sun Sword Sect, especially Jiang Ting. As the sole daughter of Sect Master Jiang Qitian, Jiang Ting was a critical piece in Qin Fei’s rise to power.

If Qin Fei could secure her trust and affection, his position in the sect would solidify, paving the way for him to replace Xiao Yang as the sect’s Holy Son.

However, Xiao Yang, having lived through these schemes in his previous life, saw through their ploys effortlessly.

He had already humiliated Qin Fei during their encounter in Yuanlong City, leaving the latter severely wounded. Though Qin Fei was struck again by Yin Yue earlier, she had held back, ensuring his injuries weren’t life-threatening.

Now, the mysterious middle-aged man was holding off Yin Yue, while Lei Lie confronted Minghe to buy time for the others to escape.

In Xiao Yang’s eyes, Lei Lie had always been self-righteous and hypocritical. Yet today, even knowing he was no match for Minghe in his weakened state, Lei Lie still stepped forward to shield his disciples.

This act, while futile, earned Xiao Yang’s grudging respect.

“Carry the injured and retreat!” Xiao Yang shouted, snapping his stunned fellow disciples out of their daze.

Yun Qianxue and Ye Qingyao hurried to support Jiang Ting, while Zheng Fan lifted the unconscious Qin Fei. Fang Ritian carried the severely injured Han Bin.

“Move quickly!” Lei Lie bellowed, his eyes fixed on the two Demon Sect remnants advancing toward him.

The disciples activated their flying swords, soaring into the sky and heading for the city’s outskirts. Xiao Yang, Lin Wangchuan, Song Qiang, and Chu Haoran stayed behind to cover their retreat.

“Lei Lie, today will be your death anniversary,” Minghe sneered, closing in with a cruel smile.

“You’ll need more than just words to kill me,” Lei Lie retorted through gritted teeth.

He knew his only hope lay in stalling until reinforcements arrived. His disciple, Lei Renjie, had already returned to the sect for help.

Meanwhile, Yin Yue retrieved a black bag from her robe. Opening it, she released a swarm of shadowy creatures.

A deafening buzz filled the air as countless Bloodthirsty Demon Wasps surged from the bag, darkening the sky.

Lei Lie’s face paled. “Bloodthirsty Demon Wasps?”

“Fools! You’ll all become food for my little darlings!” Yin Yue cackled maniacally as the swarm hurtled toward the fleeing disciples.

“You vile creature!” Lei Lie raised his hand, ready to blast the wasps from the sky.

“Your opponent is me!” Minghe’s voice rang out as his fist connected with Lei Lie’s shoulder.

“Ugh!” Lei Lie was sent flying, crashing into a nearby building with a thunderous impact.

“You dare divide your attention in a fight with me?” Minghe mocked.

Behind them, the disciples saw the massive swarm of wasps bearing down on them and cried out in terror.

Xiao Yang frowned deeply. He could annihilate the wasps if he revealed his full power, but doing so would expose his true abilities.

Yet, he couldn’t let his fellow disciples die.

Just as he prepared to unleash the Heavenly Suppression Sword Technique, an overwhelming burst of sword light erupted from the mysterious middle-aged man.

Each streak of light cut through a wasp, and within moments, the swarm fell from the sky like raindrops.

“What?” Yin Yue shrieked in disbelief. Her painstakingly cultivated Bloodthirsty Demon Wasps had been utterly destroyed.

“I’ll tear you to pieces!” she roared, her gaze locked onto the middle-aged man in fury.

“Keep moving!” Xiao Yang yelled at the disciples, irritated that they had stopped to gawk.

Snapping back to their senses, the group hastily fled toward the city’s outskirts.

Yin Yue attempted to give chase, but the mysterious man blocked her path, forcing her into a standoff.

Meanwhile, Lei Lie and Minghe had begun their battle.

Despite his severe injuries, Lei Lie’s attacks remained formidable. Each punch was accompanied by lightning and thunder, tearing through the air with devastating force.

Minghe, however, was swift and elusive, darting around Lei Lie like a phantom.

Their fierce clash sent shockwaves rippling through the city. Buildings crumbled, and dust filled the air as the two exchanged blows.

Lei Lie, though battered, held his ground. As the saying goes, “even a broken ship still has nails.” He wasn’t going down without a fight.

“BOOM!”

Lei Lie was struck by another heavy punch from Minghe, the sound of bones breaking echoing clearly from his body.

With a pained scream, Lei Lie was sent flying through the air once more.

“CRASH!”

The force of his impact caused another house to collapse, debris scattering everywhere.

Meanwhile, the mysterious man was locked in an intense battle with Yin Yue. Despite her formidable strength, the mysterious man, armed with nothing but a flying sword, forced her to retreat repeatedly.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xiao Yang led the group out of Heifeng City to safety.

Inside the ruins of the house, Lei Lie clenched his fists in frustration. If his flying sword hadn’t been destroyed by the Blood Fiend, how could this situation have gotten so dire?

“So, the famous Enforcement Elder of the Azure Sun Sword Sect is nothing but this!” Minghe sneered, advancing toward Lei Lie with triumph in his eyes.

Eliminating Lei Lie would be a significant achievement for the Demon Sect.

“You’ve left me no choice!” Lei Lie’s furious voice echoed from within the rubble.

“BOOM!”

The house exploded, and blinding flashes of lightning pierced through the dust and debris.

Lei Lie emerged, his steps resolute and powerful. His aura now radiated destructive energy to an almost unimaginable degree.

“You…”

Minghe froze, stunned as Lei Lie stepped out of the swirling dust.

The elder’s once black hair had turned completely white, and his presence was overwhelming, radiating a terrifying aura of annihilation.

“You’ve burned your lifeblood…” Minghe muttered, his voice filled with shock.

Lei Lie had sacrificed his vitality and tapped into his bloodline power to fully unleash his potential, turning himself into a living thunderstorm.

“Enough talk!” Lei Lie roared, his voice echoing like thunder. 

Without hesitation, he lunged forward, aiming a devastating punch at Minghe.

“Thunderclap! Smite the Demons!”

The air crackled with energy as the powerful fist shot toward Minghe.

“Humph!” Minghe sneered and met the blow head-on with his palm.

“BOOM!”

The collision sent shockwaves rippling outward. Energy exploded in every direction, shattering Minghe’s right sleeve into countless fragments.

“What…” Minghe staggered, his expression changing as blood spurted from his mouth. The sheer force of Lei Lie’s punch sent him flying backward, smashing through a wall and tumbling into the ruins.

Lei Lie strode forward, each step leaving deep impressions in the solid ground beneath him.

In the sky above, the mysterious man landed a decisive strike on Yin Yue, piercing her left shoulder with his sword.

Panicked and wounded, Yin Yue turned and fled without hesitation.

The mysterious man chose not to pursue. Instead, he turned his attention toward the battle between Lei Lie and Minghe.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang, having ensured the safety of the group, returned to the city. He had changed into a fresh set of clothes and donned the golden dragon-patterned mask once again. Releasing the Fire Qilin, he prepared to make his next move.

Though the mysterious man had spared Yin Yue, Xiao Yang had no intention of letting her escape so easily.

As for Minghe, his troubles had only begun. Just as he stumbled out from the hole in the wall, the Fire Qilin descended from the sky like a blazing comet, hurtling directly toward him.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Xiao Yang’s voice rang out as he charged after Yin Yue, his pursuit relentless.
