180: The decisive battle on Dongling Island

One minute later, the moment Su Lei stepped onto the island.

The entire island suddenly trembled violently, and countless gravel rolled down from the cliff.

"You really came."

Lei Mietian's voice came from the center of the island, and the sound waves made the surrounding trees rustle.

Su Lei snorted coldly, his voice like thunder.

"Is this the trap you meticulously set?"

"To be honest, it's a bit disappointing."

"It's just a small test."

Lei Mietian's sinister voice echoed over the island.

"If you can't even handle this, you don't even have the qualifications to be my opponent."

"I don't need to waste my time on you either."

Su Lei strode forward, seemingly strolling casually, yet each step spanned hundreds of meters.

"The Demonic Beasts from the East Sea Dragon Cave, did you release them?"

"It was bound to happen sooner or later," Lei Mietian said indifferently, "I merely made it appear a week earlier."

Passing through the twisted and mutated forest, the view suddenly opened up. Lei Mietian sat atop a hundred-meter-high cliff, his body enveloped in a blood-red mist.

He looked down at Su Lei, his eyes flashing with an eerie red light.

"That beast didn't eat you?" Su Lei narrowed his eyes.

"I obtained a secret method to communicate with Demonic Beasts."

Lei Mietian grinned, "At the cost of five cities, I reached a cooperation with it."

"Don't worry, its main body isn't here. You can focus on dying."

"Where did it go?" Su Lei's Protective Aura began to condense around him.

"Compared to land, the ocean is much vaster and has billions of living beings for it to use."

Su Lei's eyes blazed with cold light, "It seems I need to deal with you quickly..."

"Just you?" Lei Mietian slowly stood up, his blood-red robe fluttering without wind, and the entire island trembled with him.

"Let this old man see how much you've improved!"

Boom!

Lei Mietian's figure suddenly vanished, and in the next second, he appeared in front of Su Lei.

He grinned and threw a punch, black lightning entwined around his fist, distorting even space itself!

Su Lei's pupils contracted, and he crossed his arms to block—

"Bang!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, Su Lei was sent flying backward like a cannonball,

He crashed through three mountain peaks before finally stopping.

Amidst the flying debris, he knelt on one knee, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Is that all you've got?"

Lei Mietian's voice came from a thousand meters away, yet it was as clear as if it were right next to his ear.

"Truly disappointing!"

Su Lei wiped away the blood, his eyes blazing with fierce light.

His figure flickered, and dozens of afterimages instantly appeared in his original spot.

"Petty tricks," Lei Mietian sneered, raising his hand and a black lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck down!

"Rumble—"

Where the lightning passed, the rocks instantly vaporized.

Su Lei's afterimages shattered one after another, forcing his true body to appear.

Just as he stabilized himself, Lei Mietian appeared behind him like a ghost.

"Too slow!"

With a sweeping whip kick, Su Lei hastily blocked, and his entire body was once again slammed into the ground.

The ground within a thousand-meter radius seemed to be pressed down by an invisible hand, collapsing into a giant crater with a roar.

The entire island trembled incessantly!

Amidst the dust, Lei Mietian stood suspended in the air, black lightning coursing around him.

He looked down, letting out a cold laugh.

"You thought you could defeat me after becoming a Great Grandmaster?"

"When I was dominating the world, you weren't even born yet!"

The ground suddenly burst open, and Su Lei shot into the sky, nine lightning Dragons formed from Protective Aura roaring out.

A hint of disdain flashed in Lei Mietian's eyes, and he stood his ground, not dodging.

Boom!

The dust settled,

He still stood in place, motionless, without a single injury.

"See? Even without Protective Aura, you can't harm me in the slightest!"

He grinned and raised his hand, splaying his five fingers,

"Let me show you what true power is!"

"Black Thunder sky prison!"

Countless black lightning bolts descended from the sky, instantly covering a ten-mile radius.

Each lightning bolt precisely locked onto Su Lei, forcing him to constantly dodge and weave.

A lightning bolt pierced through the colorful Protective Aura and grazed him, instantly leaving his arm a bloody mess.

"Dodge! Keep dodging!"

Lei Mietian laughed maniacally, "I have devoured millions of living beings from five cities; I am already immortal! What do you have to fight me with?"

Su Lei gritted his teeth and dodged, secretly alarmed.

Lei Mietian's physique had reached an incomprehensibly terrifying level.

His physical body alone could withstand his attacks.

The disparity in strength and speed was even more absurd,

What was more troublesome was that the opponent was already a Great Grandmaster, and now he had gained the power of a Demonic Beast.

The originally overbearing and fierce Thunder Protective Aura, empowered by the dark aura, became even more deadly!

Before he could even catch his breath.

"Boom!"

Another punch, Su Lei barely dodged, and the mountain peak behind him was directly pulverized.

"Weren't you going to finish this?!"

"Why are you still dodging!"

Lei Mietian appeared in front of Su Lei as if teleporting, delivering a knee strike like a meteor impact!

Su Lei spat out a mouthful of blood and plunged into the sea like a shooting star.

A thousand-meter-high wave erupted from the sea, and Lei Mietian stood proudly in the air, black lightning roaring around him.

He looked down at the churning seawater, sneering, "Is this the end? I haven't had my fill yet!"

Su Lei's figure slowly rose from the towering waves, covered in blood but his eyes sharp as electricity.

A faint green light glowed at his wounds, constantly wriggling and healing.

"Old geezer..." Su Lei spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, but a cold smirk curled on his lips, "You've got some skill."

"Void Tempering True Understanding · Heaven and Earth Net!"

The next moment, seven crimson light points suddenly appeared on Lei Mietian's body—these were the fatal weaknesses of his Protective Aura!

"Interesting!" Lei Mietian's wild laughter shook the heavens, yet he didn't dodge, allowing seven golden lights to penetrate his body.

As black blood gushed out, the wounds healed at a visible speed.

"I have devoured millions of living beings; I am already immortal!"

Su Lei's pupils slightly contracted, and his figure suddenly transformed into nine afterimages.

The nine figures simultaneously attacked Lei Mietian from different angles.

"Petty tricks!" Lei Mietian clasped his hands together, and thousands of black thunders exploded.

Eight Clones were instantly annihilated, but the last Su Lei had already advanced within three steps!

"Ten Steps, One Kill!"

This finger strike seemed understated, yet it contained the profound truths of countless martial arts.

Lei Mietian hastily blocked, but his right arm was pierced through, leaving a bloody hole!

"You're courting death!" Lei Mietian roared in fury, his left hand forming a claw and striking directly at Su Lei's heart.

In the nick of time, Su Lei's body twisted like a swimming fish, narrowly avoiding the vital spot, but still had a large chunk of flesh torn off.

"Demonic Dismemberment · Soul Burn!"

Su Lei unhesitatingly ignited his life fire, and his aura instantly surged threefold!

The next moment, he instantly appeared in front of Lei Mietian, his two fingers held like a sword, and a brilliant colorful light pierced directly towards the center of the opponent's brows!

"Clang—!"

A metallic clang echoed through the sky.

Lei Mietian actually bit down on this fatal blow with his teeth!

"Is that all?"

Su Lei suddenly changed his move, transforming his fingers into a palm, and lightly pressed it against the opponent's chest.

"Star Pivot Art · Spirit Sealing!"

A profound rune lit up on Lei Mietian's chest, and his face instantly changed dramatically.

The circulation of the Protective Aura within his body experienced a momentary stagnation!

"Boom!"

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Su Lei delivered a knee strike to Lei Mietian's chin, sending him flying high into the sky.

Then, he clasped his hands together, and an anomaly of the sun and moon shining together appeared behind him—

"Sun and Moon Radiance · Star River Fall!"

A great sun and a bright moon flew out from Su Lei's Sea of Consciousness, transforming into streaks of light that blasted towards Lei Mietian.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the entire sea area to boil and evaporate!
