Chapter 191 Crimson Shadow Fox

The moment the words were spoken, a deep, loud bang resounded, as if the entire world trembled.

The entire Thunderstruck Mountain shook violently as if an earthquake had struck. Suddenly, a huge python ripped off the towering Thunderstruck Peak, revealing itself to be the enormous body of the Thunder Python, which was over ten thousand meters long.

It turns out that Lei Mang's true form had been perched on a huge mountain peak for many years to better absorb the power of lightning, and over time it had become entangled with the entire mountain peak.

Now that Lei Mang has moved, the entire Lei Ji Peak has started to shake, which in turn has caused the entire Lei Ji Mountain to tremble.

As Lei Mang's true form manifested, his incomparably powerful aura surged forth like a volcanic eruption, without reservation.

His terrifying strength at the peak of the initial stage of the sixth level was completely revealed at this moment.

In an instant, the entire Thunderstruck Mountain was shrouded in this unparalleled pressure, and all the birds, beasts, insects and fish in the mountain were terrified and scattered in all directions.

Even the trees and flowers in the mountains seemed to sense the threat of death and trembled.

Chi Ying, who had been observing calmly from the sidelines, finally changed his expression. His originally fiery red body instantly became even more vibrant and dazzling, like a raging fire.

In the blink of an eye, the blazing flames spread along his body, forming a dazzling curtain of fire.

At the same time, a powerful aura, no less than Lei Mang's, suddenly burst forth from Chi Ying's body, rivaling Lei Mang's oppressive force.

Faced with Lei Mang's overwhelming pressure, Chi Ying dared not be negligent in the slightest.

While channeling his inner energy to resist the immense pressure from his opponent, he anxiously explained, "Old Lei, stop! You've misunderstood me, let me explain!"

However, Lei Mang was blinded by rage and remained unmoved.

He raised the snake's tail and swung it fiercely at the dodging crimson shadow; the enormous snake's tail showed no sign of being clumsy.

With Lei Mang's swing, the snake's tail, like lightning, instantly shattered the space into nothingness with its immense thunderous power.

Chiying explained while dodging.

But Lei Mang, whose mind was already consumed by rage, wouldn't listen to a word. The more Chi Ying explained, the faster the giant snake tail lashed out.

In an instant, the entire Thunderstruck Mountain was shrouded in a tremendous roar.

However, as time goes by.

When Lei Mang saw that Chi Ying, whose strength was clearly a notch above his own, was merely using his internal energy to protect himself in the face of his pressure, without taking any further offensive action, a doubt arose in his heart.

After a brief moment of thought, he ultimately decided to withdraw the power he had released.

As the suffocating, terrifying pressure gradually dissipated, Akakage finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't bother to adjust his disordered breathing and hurriedly continued to explain to Lei Mang, "I don't want to interfere in the internal affairs of Noguchi Ridge, but what if there is a conspiracy by external forces hidden in this?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Mang was shocked. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief. He asked in a trembling voice, "You mean... someone is planning to attack Noguchi Ridge?"

However, the next moment, he shook his head violently, as if trying to shake the thought out of his mind.

He muttered to himself, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. In the wilderness today, where are there any wild beasts that dare to challenge us?"

Don't tell me that some descendant of an ancient beast suddenly appeared during my seclusion!

"Those two Candle Flame Beasts, though exceptionally talented, are still far from possessing the strength to rival Zhu Xian, aren't they?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Ying nodded slightly in agreement, replying, "That's right, indeed no wild beast possesses the ability to challenge Zhu Xian. However, if I were to tell you now that the Zhu Yan Beast brothers are already decapitated, how would you feel?"

"Hmm? Could it be that Zhu Xian dealt with them ruthlessly? This guy is really regressing as he gets older. With his strength, even if the Candle Flame Beast brothers spent their entire lives, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up with him. There's no need for him to do anything like 'nipping the threat in the bud'! After all, they can't pose the slightest threat to Zhu Xian at all."

After listening, Lei Mang said with a look of disgust.

Hearing this, Chi Ying slowly spoke, "You're right, those two Candle Flame Beasts are indeed powerless to threaten Zhu Xian. But if I were to tell you that the murderer of these two brothers was neither Zhu Xian himself nor one of his subordinates, would you be willing to believe it?"

"What? Could it be that a new ancient beast has really appeared in the wilderness?" Upon hearing this news, Lei Mang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

It's important to understand that although they claim to not have three top-tier experts, that's merely to intimidate ordinary beasts.

For them, the wilderness held far too many unknowns.

Thanks to the sect's heritage, they know far more than other wild beasts.

It is precisely because of this heritage that they have always held the vast wilderness in great awe.

Even in ancient times, the power represented by the three of them was only "upper-middle" at its peak.

There were just too many strong people back then!

Although, due to the cataclysmic event, all the strongest beings disappeared into the long river of history.

On the contrary, those in the middle and upper ranks miraculously survived. Although their strength was no longer comparable to that of the ancient times, they miraculously stood at the very top of the wilderness in the era of Dharma decline.

Nevertheless, they knew that their claim to be "number one" was solely due to the absence of powerful rivals.

But this "no tiger in the mountains" is just their own perception; it doesn't mean there really isn't one.

That's why they've never truly been confident in their "number one in the world" status.

For the same reason, the three major forces have maintained a clandestine alliance of offense and defense.

Now, upon suddenly hearing that the Candle Flame Beast brothers, who were at the peak of the fourth level, had been killed by a mysterious force, how could Lei Mang be so surprised?

Seeing Lei Mang's reaction, Chi Ying, who was standing to the side, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a subtle smile.

Clearly, Chi Ying was very satisfied with Lei Mang's strong reaction.

This fully demonstrates that Lei Mang still maintains a clear mind; he has not forgotten the crisis in the wilderness despite the change in his status.

As a result, he still cared a great deal about the alliance made by the three families back then, and did not forget or ignore it in the slightest because of the changes in position and time.

Thinking of this, Akakage secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Lei Mang still values ​​that alliance, the subsequent negotiations will proceed much more smoothly.

So he took a deep breath and slowly said, "What if I told you that it wasn't some ancient beast that truly killed the Candle Flame Beast brothers, but humans?"

When the word "human" came out of Chi Ying's mouth, Lei Mang, who was still in a state of extreme shock, was instantly stunned by this information.

His eyes were wide open, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out, and he muttered to himself, repeating, "Human? How could it be... It's actually a human!"
