Chapter 647: Slaying the Elder

The random door's landing spot wasn't far, right in front of a villa beyond two manors.

Lei En stepped out, his gaze pierced the villa's walls, locating a hidden room on the third floor; the walls were lined with multiple rune arrays to block teleportation, conceal sound and magical fluctuations, and without the All-Seeing Eye it would be hard to find.

Earlier, Reslin, while hiding in the shadows, also searched for a long time before spotting the enemy.

The villa's owner was a wealthy Nuoeris magnate, with a dozen transcendental guards and servants, who ran out looking toward Viola Manor.

Obviously, they didn't know a legendary Wizard was hidden upstairs.

When Lei En suddenly appeared before them, his massive mithril wings spread behind him, war hammer and mithril Holy Sword in hand, murderous aura radiating, they instantly turned pale with fear.

"Chairman Lei En!"

A senior transcendental recognized Lei En and shouted tremblingly.

"Everyone stay back." Lei En tossed the words, thunder flame erupted on his body, and he swung his left-hand mithril Holy Sword delivering a thunder slash.

Everyone present only saw the sword light flash, and Lei En vanished.

Then, with a boom—, the roof exploded into countless fragments.

Lei En slashed through three walls in one strike, his body striking the room like lightning, where he saw two Wizards whose faces were concealed by a haze spell; their magical robes also had concealment, but were useless before the Willpower of truth.

He recognized their identities at a glance.

They were elders of Naisè Fu Kong Cheng, and both were acquaintances; one was Fah Luen, who on the day the supervisory group was formed delivered the ledger on behalf of Naisè, one of the three female elders.

The other, surprisingly, was Desade.

Lei En had already guessed that Naisè elders were involved in the siege against him, inevitably staunch supporters of Duke Hong Shi, so after confirming their identities he intended to eliminate them outright, reducing Keluonomanse's resistance to controlling Naisè Fu Kong Cheng.

But upon seeing Desade, he changed his mind.

Fah Luen had to die, while Desade wanted to spare a life; this person knew some of the inner fall of Elder Weigulewei, and this was a perfect chance to capture and interrogate.

The two Naisè elders suffered a backlash from Reslin's Rupture, their soul energy trembling incessantly.

The room's window faced Viola's manor; through a gap in the trees one could see the battle there. They had all witnessed Lei En slaying several legendary strongmen, so they dared not act rashly, believing they were well hidden, intending to slip away silently after the backlash ended.

But unexpectedly, Lei En was on them in the blink of an eye.

"Go."

Under the haze spell, both pale, Desade forced himself to endure mental discomfort, and with an altered voice shouted low, triggering the constant Mirror Image on his body.

Six identical figures appeared in the room to confuse Lei En.

At the same time, he activated the teleport array beneath his feet at top speed.

Nearby, Fah Luen reacted swiftly; as soon as Lei En burst in, she crushed a high‑grade Kirudalin gem, releasing the eight‑ring Disintegrate stored within, a teal beam instantly struck Lei En, filling her with ecstatic joy.

Yet the next second, her expression froze.

The Disintegrate hit only an illusion; Lei En hadn't gone far, merely his mithril flying feather vibrated rapidly, the seven‑ring wind‑thunder wings granting him speed comparable to a level‑10 swift, and he shifted half a step aside, creating a phantom.

Before he moved, a Space‑Time Shock had already been launched.

Snap!

A soft sound; Desade and Fah Luen stood close, expanding the seven‑ring Space‑Time Shock range to five meters, covering most of the room.

Instantly, both felt a sense of space‑time disarray.

Desade's teleport activation was interrupted, leaving both in place.

Boom!

Lei Da, upon landing, stomped forcefully, releasing a War Stomp.

Fearing collateral damage to others in the villa, his foot carried no thunder flame and only thirty percent of its power, yet it instantly collapsed the wooden floor beneath, the surrounding walls cracking piece by piece. The temporary teleport array laid on the floor was completely destroyed.

The War Stomp's shockwave shattered Desade's Mirror Image clone.

The two Naisè elders had raised magical shields, yet were still blown away, rolling uncontrollably in mid‑air.

Lei En swung his sword again, blue‑white thunder flame coalescing on the blade, sparks flashing everywhere.

Another thunder slash.

Whoosh!

A booming crack, the mithril Holy Sword sliced through Fah Luen's ice shield.

She was a sixteen‑level Elementalist, newly promoted to Legendary High‑rank, and already the weakest among the Naisè elders; even at full strength she was comparable to an ordinary legendary transcendental before Lei En, let alone she was suffering the backlash of Rupture, her mind scattered and unable to focus.

Just one sword strike, and Fah Luen's shield collapsed.

"Spare…"

Fah Luen, terrified to the brink, cried out in desperate plea for mercy.

Lei En showed no mercy; his mithril flying feather swept behind, sharp silver wings flashing by.

The young, beautiful Naisè elder was instantly decapitated; her head rolled onto the ground outside the villa, eyes wide and round, as if unable to believe she had died so simply.

Lei En had long known she had no means of survival; with shallow experience, short lifespan, lacking wealth and ability to acquire powerful magical items, death was inevitable.

He didn't glance at Fah Luen's corpse, flashing to stand before Desade.

Then he raised his war hammer and struck.

Bang!

Desade's prismatic shield quivered violently, but having lived over nine hundred years as a legendary Wizard devoted to Arcane study, his shield was already eight‑ring; it withstood Lei En's hammer, yet both he and the shield were blasted out of the villa.

A random door opened ahead of his trajectory, from which a Lei En mirror image emerged, like a relay baton, swinging the hammer to strike.

Another bang.

Desade was slammed into the ground, sinking into a pit several meters deep, dust billowing.

The prismatic shield absorbed the hammer's massive force, shielding him unharmed, yet cracks appeared; another hammer blow would shatter it.

At this moment Desade finally recovered from the backlash, his mind crystal clear; lingering any longer meant certain death, so he abandoned concealment, lying in the pit and pulling a Naisè insignia from a dimensional space, preparing to teleport back to Fu Kong Cheng.

"Where does Elder Desade wish to go?" another Lei En mirror image appeared, positioning itself above his head to block the sun, casting a shadow.

As the mirror image spoke, it released a Space‑Time Shock.

De Sa De's mind and spirit went chaotic for an instant.

But that instant decided life and death; the Nai Se badge failed to activate, Lei En's true body leapt out of the villa, his Mithril Flying Wing fluttered, he dived straight into the pit, casually tossed aside his Mithril Holy Sword, letting it turn into a flash of light and vanish, clenched his left fist and smashed.

Indestructible Iron Fist!

Heavy strike!

The trembling prism light shield shattered instantly; Lei En's left hand pierced the shield, grasped Elder De Sa De's neck, lifted him out of the pit and held him aloft.

De Sa De's face turned bright red from the choke, and he frantically struck Lei En's arm.

He is a pure Arcane practitioner, his physique only slightly better than that of an ordinary cultivator; no matter how hard he hits, he cannot injure even a single hair on Lei En, let alone split Lei En's palm.

After only a few seconds, De Sa De was nearly suffocating, his feet kicking wildly in the air.

"Release, let go, me!"

Lei En, fearing he would truly choke him to death, quickly released his grip and let him fall to the ground.

"Cough… cough…"

De Sa De collapsed on the ground, coughing violently, gulping air, clutching his neck with a sudden fear, thinking Lei En really intended to kill him. Just after regaining freedom, his mind became active, and when he looked up he saw four identical Lei En surrounding him.

Ten meters ahead lay the head of Fa He Lun, eyes open, death unclosed.

His heart jumped, and he slowly stood up.

"Chairman Lei En, I will definitely report your baseless attack on me to the Supreme Council!" De Sa De shouted angrily yet timidly, "And the death of Elder Fa He Lun will surely make you pay the price."

"You don't know life and death, yet you still talk tough," Lei En sneered.

De Sa De felt guilty under his gaze, "You…"

Lei En, too lazy to waste words, a Mirror Image flashed behind him, swung a fist to knock him unconscious and lifted him, opened a portal and returned to Viola's manor.

The Demon army in the Abyssal Gate kept pouring out.

The Bolt Gun fired nonstop for a second.

Extreme Warrior frantically shot demons, bodies piled several meters high around the Abyssal Gate. The massive gunfire and Abyssal aura, after the sound‑light barrier was broken, spread outward, startling the legendary strongmen of Nuosiruier; high above, the Nai Se Fu Kong Cheng also stirred, glowing with vast magical light.

Just as Lei En's front foot returned to the manor, several figures teleported there.
