Chapter 221: Desperate Injury to Lei Zhen

The Thunderbolt Gun Technique is already renowned for its swift and fierce power, and combined with Lei Zhen's deep cultivation as a Fourth Grade Grandmaster.

At this moment, the dominant gun tip wraps thunder light like an impenetrable Electric Net, spreading over everything as it envelops Lu Xiao.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiao was completely outmatched.

She clenched the Heidao with both hands, risking everything to drive her internal breath, and pushed the Standing Blade Technique to its utmost.

Sharp blade winds howled out, repeatedly slashing at the Electric Net before her.

The blade wind collided with the thunder light, emitting a sizzling, piercing sound.

Sparks flew everywhere, yet the Electric Net was like a resilient spider web.

One layer after another broke, yet it constantly kept her firmly trapped inside.

Sweat beads the size of peas quickly seeped onto Lu Xiao's forehead, her breathing grew increasingly rapid, and the palm gripping the hilt, strained too hard, even faintly bled.

Every strike she made used all her strength, yet before Lei Zhen's gun thrust, they seemed especially feeble, barely protecting her vital points, with no chance to counterattack.

The alloy floor of Texun Chang was etched with dense marks by the gun tip's thunder light and blade winds.

Standing aside, Shao Jinpeng, though not yet at Grandmaster Realm, has long mingled with the Dragon Group, so his eyesight remains sharp.

He watched the one-sided situation in the arena, unable to keep shaking his head.

He stepped forward two paces and shouted at Lu Xiao.

"Group Leader! Perhaps we should just concede! The gap between you and Group Leader Lei is truly huge, not even the same level of opponent! Can't you see? Even now Group Leader Lei is still holding back his strength; if he really went all out, you'd be defeated instantly, and you'd be the one suffering!"

Although Shao Jinpeng is now under Lei Zhen, having followed Lu Xiao for so many years, he doesn't wish anything to happen to her.

Lu Xiao is now fully concentrating on resisting Lei Zhen's gun thrust, with no mind to heed Shao Jinpeng.

She grits her silver teeth, persisting, still trying to find a crack in Lei Zhen.

Shao Jinpeng, seeing Lu Xiao ignore him, immediately turns his gaze to Jiang Feng standing aside.

Seeing Jiang Feng remain silent, a mocking smile curls at the corner of his mouth.

"Jiang Feng, aren't you quite capable? Just now you were brazenly boasting about guiding our Group Leader to deal with Group Leader Lei, and now you're silent? Are you scared? Or do you know deep down that if you truly dared to give advice, our Group Leader would only lose even more miserably?"

In his view, Jiang Feng is just a Doctor with decent medical skill, and thinks that by tweaking a few things he's truly mastered both medicine and martial arts? What a joke!

Now that it's a real blade-and-gun contest, he can only shrink to the back and play dumb.

Facing Shao Jinpeng's cold sarcasm, Jiang Feng seems not to hear it, still with both hands in his pockets.

His eyes half-open, half-closed, as if asleep, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.

Shao Jinpeng, seeing Jiang Feng's demeanor, feels even more disdain, snorts a laugh.

"Sure enough, a coward, only hides behind women, yet dares to boast about guiding others—truly laughable!"

After saying that, he no longer pays attention to Jiang Feng, turning his head to continue watching the battle.

A Grandmaster-level duel is rare for him; whatever he learns will be his own!

And Lu Xiao, in the arena, now feels a bit panicked.

Her hand gripping the great blade begins to tremble slightly, her breathing becomes increasingly erratic.

The previous confidence and resolve, in the face of an absolute power gap, are gradually dissipating.

She can't help but regret internally, wondering if she was too impulsive just now.

Even if Jiang Feng were extremely powerful, a few words couldn't bridge the gap between her and Lei Zhen, a Two-Pin Grandmaster.

Moreover, judging from the current displayed gap, even if she later breakthroughs to Fourth Grade Grandmaster, the limitations of the Standing Blade Technique in her hands likely still won't match Lei Zhen, let alone now.

Just as her mental defense is about to collapse, a lazy voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

The voice was crystal clear, and it was Jiang Feng's voice.

"Don't panic, your Standing Blade Technique's third form, Mountain‑splitting, has its cultivation route completely wrong. This move is inherently a brute style, suited for robust men; you're a woman, forcing it will only drain your breath and yield no power. Try directing thirty percent of your breath to the Purple Palace Acupoint, using your own flexibility to transform the brute Blade Intent into clever force; breaking his gun net will be easy."

The voice struck like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in Lu Xiao's mind.

Message transmitted directly!

Jiang Feng could employ such profound methods?

Rethinking Jiang Feng's words, she suddenly realized.

She had previously practiced the Standing Blade Technique strictly following the family's method, which was entirely based on the male path.

Whether in cultivation or exertion, she pursued a hard‑against‑hard approach, but her constitution is not as robust as a man's; training this way not only yields less result for more effort, but also damages her foundation. Jiang Feng's words simply enlightened her, making her instantly understand her long‑standing misconception.

Almost subconsciously, Lu Xiao immediately adjusted her internal breath.

Following Jiang Feng's advice, she slowly guided thirty percent of her breath toward the Purple Palace Acupoint.

At that moment, Lei Zhen opposite her was already growing impatient.

He never really considered Lu Xiao a threat; he just wanted a quick finish, to deal with Lu Xiao first, then properly handle Jiang Feng.

Yet after fighting so long, Lu Xiao, though always at a disadvantage, never lost, which embarrassed him; his impatience deepened, and his aura suddenly surged a few levels.

"Lu Xiao, since you don't know right from wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lei Zhen let out a low shout, snapped his wrist, and the thunder light on the Thunderbolt Gun's tip surged wildly.

The gun thrust suddenly became even swifter, bearing a world‑shattering momentum, charging straight at Lu Xiao's chest vital point, clearly preparing a single shot to utterly defeat her.

The air around Texun Chang twisted from this shot, and Shao Jinpeng couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy.

He also thought Lu Xiao this time definitely couldn't evade.

But at this critical moment, Lu Xiao suddenly flicked her wrist lightly.

The Heidao in her hand no longer met force with force, but carried a peculiar clever force.

The blade wind changed instantly, moving so fast it seemed like teleportation.

It evaded the gun tip's frontal edge, and from an extremely cunning angle, surged through a gap in the thunder light, slashing fiercely outward.

"Swoosh!"

A crisp sound rang, and the impenetrable Electric Net was instantly torn open by that slash.

The blade wind, still strong, surged straight toward Lei Zhen's chest.

Lei Zhen never expected Lu Xiao's blade wind to Suddenly change so drastically, and his complexion shifted sharply.

Lei Zhen's quick reaction wanted to fire back in defense, but at that moment it was already too late, and Lei Zhen could only awkwardly sidestep to dodge.

Yet Lei Zhen was Slow by a step, and the blade wind brushed Lei Zhen's chest and passed.

A wave of excruciating pain surged, Lei Zhen let out a muffled hum, Lei Zhen's body involuntarily stepped back three steps, and a strand of bright red blood instantly spilled from the Mouth corner.

Lei Zhen raised a hand, wiped the blood from the Mouth corner, stared intently at Lu Xiao, face full of shock.
