Chapter 220: Second-Grade Grandmaster vs Fourth-Grade Grandmaster?

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Lei Zhen raised an eyebrow, and the mocking smile at the corner of his mouth grew richer.

He stepped forward a pace, looking down at Jiang Feng from his elevated position.

"Just a touch? Jiang Feng, you waste, crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant! Originally, out of Huo Lao's face, I wanted to spare you a sliver of dignity, not to strike you, but since you asked for death today, I'll fulfill it!"

As the words fell, Lei Zhen suddenly erupted a powerful Grandmaster aura.

That was the unique pressure of a Fourth Grade Grandmaster, like an invisible gale, instantly sweeping across the entire Texun Chang.

A murderous aura spread, tightening everyone's hearts.

Lu Xiao's complexion changed, and she immediately stepped forward, blocking in front of Jiang Feng.

"Lei Zhen! You are overstepping! Jiang Feng is a guest I invited; I brought him here to refine a technique. If you dare lay a hand on him, you are opposing me, opposing the Lu family! Think clearly about the Consequence!"

She spoke while also circulating her own aura.

The pressure of a Second-grade Grandmaster, though far weaker than Lei Zhen's Fourth Grade, still carried an unyielding will at this moment.

Seeing Lu Xiao's stance, Lei Zhen instead threw his head back and laughed contemptuously, opening his mouth to say.

"Lu Xiao, you think brandishing the Lu family can scare me? You are merely a Second-grade Grandmaster; even though the Lu family's Blade Technique name sounds impressive, who doesn't know that you, being a mere woman, are limited by your innate constitution and cannot fully manifest the Essence of the Blade Technique, at best wielding only thirty percent of its power!"

He shifted his tone, and his aura grew a few notches stronger.

At some point, a Yinse Changqiang had appeared in his hand, its shaft glowing coldly, the tip pointing straight at Jiang Feng.

"And I am a proud Fourth Grade Grandmaster! Moreover, I wield the Thunder Spear Technique; even a Fifth Rank Grandmaster expert has no right to shout before me! If I truly strike Jiang Feng, do you think you can stop me?"

Shao Jinpeng, seeing this, hurried forward and earnestly pleaded with Lu Xiao.

"Yes, Group Leader, please don't be foolish! You know well the strength of Group Leader Lei; among the younger generation of the Dragon Group, he is a top figure, you cannot match him! Moreover, this Jiang Feng is just a worthless piece of cargo!"

"Don't you know? Back then, Group Leader Lei once knelt before her to let Jiang Feng save you; that was the greatest humiliation in Lei's life. Why must you wade into this murky water?"

"Shut up!"

As soon as Shao Jinpeng said that, Lei Zhen's complexion instantly turned iron‑blue, and he abruptly turned his head, roaring fiercely at Shao Jinpeng.

The murderous intent in his voice almost solidified.

The kneeling was his life's greatest shame, and Shao Jinpeng daring to announce it publicly was like stabbing a knife into his heart.

Shao Jinpeng, startled by Lei Zhen's roar, shrank his neck, quickly closed his mouth, and retreated two steps, no longer daring to speak.

Lei Zhen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the Anger in his heart.

His cold eyes refocused on Jiang Feng, and the Thunder Spear in his hand erupted an even stronger aura.

The tip of the spear even flickered with faint thunderlight, and his entire presence rose to its peak.

He addressed Jiang Feng coldly.

"Jiang Feng, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Go to the weapon rack and pick a suitable weapon, so you won't later accuse me of bullying the weak. After you choose, you can set off!"

Jiang Feng merely smiled and shook his head, hands in his pockets, still bearing a carefree demeanor.

"You waste, you're not even qualified for me to act. Lu Xiao, didn't you want me to refine the Blade Technique for you? Fine, as you fight him, I'll tell you on the spot how to use the Blade Technique to deal with this waste!"

The words caused both Lei Zhen and Shao Jinpeng to freeze in shock.

Immediately, a burst of uproarious laughter erupted, as if they'd heard a colossal joke.

Lei Zhen laughed, clutching his belly.

"Jiang Feng, are you scared? If you are, just say so, yet you still rely on a woman to stand up for you? What kind of man are you! And who do you think you are? After glancing at the Blade Technique a few times, you think you can guide Lu Xiao to defeat me? It's an enormous joke! I think you're so frightened you can't think straight!"

Shao Jinpeng echoed, laughing until tears nearly spilled.

"Hahaha! This kid must be crazy! Guiding Group Leader Lu? He knows nothing about the Blade Technique! I think he's just looking for an excuse to hide behind a woman, truly a coward!"

Lu Xiao also showed embarrassment, quietly turned sideways, and lowered her voice.

"Jiang Feng, it won't work; Lei Zhen's strength is too great, and the Thunder Spear Technique is famed for its swiftness. My Second-grade Grandmaster power, combined with the Blade Technique's limitations, likely can't handle him; later I'd not only fail to help you but also hinder you."

He believes Jiang Feng's strength isn't weak, and dealing with Lei Zhen might not be hard.

However, between a Fourth Grade Grandmaster and a Second-grade Grandmaster lies a world of difference, impossible to bridge merely by guidance.

Jiang Feng, with a confident face, patted Lu Xiao's shoulders.

"When I say you can, you can. Just act without worry; I'll tell you how to move, and you follow, guaranteeing you can easily deal with him."

Having finished, he turned his head toward Lei Zhen, his face bearing contempt.

"Lei Zhen, are you a coward? Are you truly afraid that after I guide Lu Xiao, she'll easily defeat you and make you lose face in the Dragon Group?"

Lei Zhen sneered, withdrew his smile, and his gaze's murderous intent grew deeper.

"Afraid? Jiang Feng, provocation won't work on me! Not to mention you guiding her; even if you summon Dao Zu to teach her personally, she's still not my opponent! In the end they're just two wastes; I'll finish her first, then slowly deal with you, it's the same!"

He gripped the Thunder Spear and stepped forward.

The surrounding air was twisted by the spear's intent, a fierce murderous aura locking onto Lu Xiao.

"Group Leader Lu, since you insist on protecting this waste, I'll eliminate you first; see who he can rely on then!"

Seeing Lei Zhen pressing forward aggressively, Lu Xiao took a deep breath.

She clenched the Heidao in her hand, lunged forward a step, and held the blade horizontally before her.

A powerful Blade Intent rose from her, and she stared at Lei Zhen, speaking in a deep voice.

"Lei Zhen, come! I want to see just how mighty your Thunder Spear Technique truly is!"

Lei Zhen, seeing Lu Xiao actually dare to fight, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He flicked his wrist, and the Thunder Spear swept out violently, its tip emitting a sharp whoosh that struck directly at Lu Xiao's face.

The thunderlight on the spear's shaft flickered, as if real thunder exploded at the tip, the spectacle terrifyingly overwhelming.

"Seeking death! Then I'll let you taste the might of the Thunder Spear Technique!"

In a breath, the spear surged like thunder, stabbing toward Lu Xiao's chest.
