"Young man, I'll give you a chance. Apologize to the Lei family now and leave. I won't pursue this matter further."
Wu Ning spoke with arrogance, showing no regard for Ye Ningze.
Indeed, Wu Ning was one of only two extraordinary martial artists at the Wolf Lord's base.
Even Lei Tian, a peak Grandmaster, was nothing more than an ant in Wu Ning's eyes, at most a slightly stronger ant.
Over time, Wu Ning had cultivated a habit of looking down on others within the Wolf Lord's base.
Especially glancing at Ye Ningze, whose clothes were tattered, Wu Ning didn't believe he possessed extraordinary attack power.
If Ye Ningze were truly capable, he could have easily dealt with the Lei family's experts. Why would he be in such a sorry state?
It was precisely these preconceived notions that led Wu Ning to make these incorrect judgments.
"Elder Wu, is it?" Ye Ningze looked at Wu Ning with disdain and said calmly.
"I'll give you a chance too. Just apologize to me now and leave the Lei family, and I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences!"
Boom!
Ye Ningze's words caused an uproar among the onlookers.
Everyone stared at Ye Ningze in astonishment, their hearts filled with shock.
He dared to openly provoke an extraordinary martial artist. Was this Ye Ningze a lunatic?
Wu Ning had already given Ye Ningze a chance. If he had backed down and left the Lei family, he might have had a sliver of hope.
But now, he dared to speak such defiant words to Wu Ning. It seemed Ye Ningze was destined to die today!
"He must die. Only when Ye Ningze is dead will the Lei family be safe!" the Lei family members thought to themselves.
They watched the enraged Wu Ning as if they were watching a play, feeling excited.
"Seeking death!"
Faced with Ye Ningze's provocation, Wu Ning could no longer contain himself.
He raised his hand, and a surge of finger energy shot towards Ye Ningze.
Swish!
The finger wind, traveling at ten times the speed of sound, accurately aimed for Ye Ningze's face.
If the strike landed, Ye Ningze's head would likely explode, and he would perish on the spot.
Wu Ning and everyone present seemed to have already seen the outcome of Ye Ningze being decapitated.
After all, ordinary Grandmasters or even Great Grandmasters could not match the reaction speed of ten times the speed of sound.
This was Wu Ning's confidence.
No matter how powerful your attacks were, if you exploited your speed disadvantage, you could easily crush them.
Clang!
A crisp metallic sound was heard.
Just as the finger energy was about to hit his head, Ye Ningze drew his saber and managed to block the attack.
"You've got some skill. To be able to block my finger energy, it's no wonder you could sweep through the Lei family."
Seeing Ye Ningze block the strike, Wu Ning was somewhat surprised, but that was all.
The previous move was merely Wu Ning's probing attack; he hadn't truly exerted himself yet.
Swish!
The next moment, Wu Ning moved. His figure flickered, disappearing from his original spot.
His speed was so great that he left afterimages in the air.
This was the true speed of an extraordinary martial artist. Because their speed reached over ten times the speed of sound, it appeared like teleportation.
"As long as Ye Ningze can't react, I can easily end his life."
Wu Ning planned in his heart.
But before Wu Ning could attack Ye Ningze, a saber had already appeared before him, and with a fierce momentum, it severed one of his arms.
"Not good, this brat actually possesses the speed of an extraordinary martial artist!"
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Wu Ning didn't linger and retreated explosively.
Ye Ningze pursued closely, raising his saber and slashing down. A streak of azure saber energy broke through the air.
Boom boom boom!
The azure saber energy struck Wu Ning's elemental energy shield, causing a violent explosion centered on him.
For a moment, dense smoke and dust billowed up again over the ruins of the Lei family.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, the observing martial artists witnessed a shocking scene.
Wu Ning's upper body clothes were now in tatters, his elemental energy shield had been shattered, his left arm was severed, and there was a deep貫穿 wound on his chest. He looked extremely disheveled.
"Cough, cough..." Wu Ning first took out a bottle of healing pills and swallowed them, then tightly clutched his chest wound, circulating his elemental energy in an attempt to heal.
At this moment, he had lost all the prestige of an extraordinary martial artist. Blood stained his lips and body, and he looked significantly older.
"Extraordinary attack power, extraordinary speed!"
Wu Ning now had a new understanding of Ye Ningze's strength.
Although Ye Ningze's defense was still at the Grandmaster level, his attack and speed had surpassed his own.
"I am no match for him. Staying here will only lead to death!"
Understanding the situation, Wu Ning turned and left without a word.
Seeing this, Ye Ningze quickly pursued.
"Wait." Wu Ning noticed Ye Ningze catching up and immediately called out to stop him, "Young man, I apologize to you. Be merciful when you can be merciful, cough, cough..."
"Sorry, I don't accept your apology now," Ye Ningze said coldly.
If his strength had been inferior to Wu Ning's just now, and he had been defeated, the other party likely wouldn't have let him go.
Moreover, Ye Ningze had already offended him. Letting him leave now would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains.
Wu Ning continued to flee, and Ye Ningze pursued.
Soon, the two had fled out of the Lei family's residential area.
At one point, Ye Ningze seized an opportunity and severed one of Wu Ning's legs with a saber strike.
Wu Ning's speed was already slightly slower than Ye Ningze's. Now, with one leg gone, escape was even more impossible.
Facing despair, Wu Ning shouted loudly in a certain direction, "Old Wang, still watching the show? Hurry and help me!"
The next second, an old man in white clothes emerged from somewhere.
It was Wang Chenghua, the other extraordinary martial artist at the Wolf Lord's base.
Wu Ning looked at the appearing Wang Chenghua with hope, thinking his old friend could save him, but the result disappointed him even further.
As soon as Wang Chenghua appeared, he declared his stance.
"Young friend Ye, Elder Wu's affairs have nothing to do with me. You can kill him or dismember him as you please."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ning's face turned ashen with anger. "Old Wang, you!"
Wang Chenghua's strength was slightly greater than Wu Ning's. If they had joined forces, Ye Ningze might not have been able to defeat them.
But this Wang Chenghua clearly did not wish to get involved in this mess, which gave Ye Ningze an opportunity.
"Ye Ningze, I'll fight you to the death!"
Knowing that escape was hopeless, Wu Ning unleashed a secret technique to increase his strength and counterattacked Ye Ningze.
However, all of this was of no use.
"Tiger Leopard Thunder Roar."
Ye Ningze's speed of twelve times the speed of sound, combined with his advanced strength talent, made his saber move at an unbelievable speed.
Wu Ning, who had just used a strength-enhancing secret technique, could no longer keep up with the speed and had his head severed by Ye Ningze's saber.
A generation of extraordinary powerhouses from the Wolf Lord's base perished on the spot.
