C5 Slash

Witnessing the terrifying scene before him, Lei Hao felt a surge of fear!

He could never bring himself to employ such gruesome methods.

Unexpectedly, Ye Han's icy gaze had already fixed on him, sending a bone-chilling coldness through the air that felt like the deepest winter had arrived.

Lei Hao quickly pushed his fear aside.

What a joke! As the son of the City Lord, he had nothing to fear in Medicine City.

It was true that alchemists were revered on Tianyuan Road.

But what did it matter if an alchemist with undeveloped potential had a talent that defied the heavens?

Surely he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the City Lord's son?

"Ye Han, just hand over the Alchemy Scripture, and I'll overlook the incident with Ah San. If not..."

"If not what?" Ye Han stood his ground, advancing with each word, his voice so cold it made Jiang Xiaoxiao involuntarily shiver.

In that moment, Ye Han seemed as formidable as a demon returned from the underworld!

"Otherwise, I'll make sure you have no grave to rest in!"

"We'll see if you're capable of that!"

Ye Han merely smiled, unfazed.

"Hmph, then prepare to meet your end!"

Lei Hao's eyes were filled with malice, yet he refrained from attacking. Confident in his strength at the sixth level of Body Refining, he was still reluctant to take a risk. The servants he had with him were not the experts from his home. Turning to leave, Lei Hao headed for the door, but Ye Han was not about to let him escape.

Lei Hao might handle him, but if he brought back the City Lord Palace's experts, Ye Han knew he wouldn't stand a chance!

"Seeking your own demise!"

Enraged by Ye Han's approach, Lei Hao lashed out with a punch, his fist crackling with the semblance of lightning, the blue glow flashing brilliantly.

Thunder Rushing Technique!

A high-grade, profound martial skill that, when mastered, could harness the might of heavenly thunder to pulverize its target into dust, lost amidst the cosmos.

Clearly, Lei Hao, at the sixth level of Body Refining, had only just begun to scratch the surface of its potential.

"It's such a waste!"

Ye Han shook his head, his voice laced with disappointment.

In the next instant, Ye Han charged toward Lei Hao's oncoming fists!

With a loud crash, Lei Hao was sent flying backward, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? When did you learn the Thunder Rushing Technique?"

Lei Hao knew the Thunder Rushing Technique to be a closely guarded secret of the Lei Family, one that outsiders should never have had access to!

Yet, the punch from Ye Han, brimming with the force of thunder, left Lei Hao utterly baffled.

"Just now!"

Ye Han replied with a calm smile in response to Lei Hao's probing question.

The Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Body inherently possessed the unique trait of being able to generate anything. Coupled with his past life's experience as an alchemist emperor, having witnessed countless martial techniques, the Thunder Rushing Technique was something he had never practiced but had long been part of his repertoire.

Lei Hao was dumbfounded!

And even more so, he was filled with resentment!

"I don't believe it!"

Lei Hao clambered to his feet, his chest seething with pent-up rage, ready to burst forth at any moment.

"If you don't believe it, then try again!"

"Fine, I let my guard down before. This time, I'll show you the true extent of my power!"

In a flash, Lei Hao, fueled by his raging anger, unleashed the full might of his sixth level Body Refining Realm strength.

The lightning he summoned now was exponentially more formidable than before.

"Ye Han, be careful!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart sank at the sight.

Although Ye Han had effortlessly slain Ah San, it was no guarantee he could overcome Lei Hao.

"Don't worry, it's just a bit of electricity. You should keep your distance to avoid getting caught in it!"

Seeing Ye Han's confidence, Jiang Xiaoxiao refrained from further comment. Concerned about becoming a liability, she swiftly retreated to a safe distance of ten meters.

"Thunder Rushing Technique!"

Lei Hao's words were immediately followed by a barrage of lightning bolts raining down on Ye Han.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Ye Han!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao cried out, attempting to reach for Ye Han, only to find herself letting out a scream of despair.

In stark contrast to Jiang Xiaoxiao, Lei Hao's laughter echoed triumphantly across the heavens.

"Hahaha, let me tell you what happens when you try to act tough in front of me. The consequence of showing off in my presence is death, and not just any death—a death where your body won't be found intact!"

As he spoke these ominous words, Lei Hao turned his attention to the tear-streaked face of Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, now that Ye Han is gone, not a trace of him remains. Can you tell me where the Dan Scripture is?"

"You can forget about it!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao's demeanor became icy as she firmly refused.

"Well then, don't blame me for not being nice!"

Lei Hao let out a sleazy chuckle, his expression as lecherous as one could imagine.

"What... what are you going to do?"

"What do you think? Do you really expect me to reunite you with Ye Han? No chance! I'll make you wish for death but be unable to die until you give me the Dan Scripture!"

With that, Lei Hao gestured grandly, and over ten Body Refining Realm warriors leaped into the courtyard.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You have ten seconds to think it over! If you don't hand over the Dan Scripture after ten seconds, I can't promise what these ten burly men might do!"

Lei Hao grinned and began the countdown with relish.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

"Six!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

By the time Lei Hao reached four, the more than ten burly men, their eyes gleaming with greed, were ready, eagerly rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

"One!"

In a flash, the group of burly men swarmed forward, encircling Jiang Xiaoxiao!

But before they could lay a finger on her, a thunderous voice boomed from behind.

"Seeking death!"

Before they could react, a lightning bolt resembling a massive purple dragon struck down from the heavens, hitting the burly men squarely. They collapsed to the ground without even a chance to scream.

Amidst the lightning, Ye Han returned, ready for battle!

"It's impossible; you can't still be alive!"

Lei Hao stared at Ye Han in astonishment, as if he were a monster.

Ye Han paid him no heed, moving in swiftly like lightning, he seized Lei Hao by the neck and said with deliberate emphasis, "I had no intention of killing you, but you should never have provoked me!"

Ye Han's Achilles' heel was none other than Jiang Xiaoxiao!

"You... you can't kill me!"

"Give me one good reason!"

"Because I am the son of Medicine City's Lord, Lei Ba!"

"Snap!"

Lei Hao's plea was cut short as Ye Han swiftly broke his neck.

Tossing the body aside with indifference, Ye Han seized Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Pack up quickly. We're leaving Medicine City!"

"Okay!"

Fully aware of the impending consequences, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate for a second. She nodded emphatically and hurried back to her room.

Half an hour later, at the City Lord's Mansion!

Lei Ba, the City Lord of Medicine City, shattered a century-old mahogany table with a single slap. His voice, filled with hysteria, reverberated through the grand hall.

"Ye Han, you've got the gall to murder my son. I swear, even if it costs me everything, I will have you torn to shreds and skinned alive!"
