Chapter 639 - The Villain Blocks the Way

Lei Weiyue repeatedly formed hand seals with both hands, directing the seals to the wound on Zhou Siyi's body.

Soon, the bleeding from the wound stopped.

The opening on her dantian was temporarily sealed with spiritual power, greatly slowing down the loss of energy.

However, both Lei Weiyue and Zhou Siyi knew that this was only a temporary measure, not a long-term solution.

Lei Weiyue took out a black cloak and draped it over Zhou Siyi. It was a magical artifact.

Although Zhou Siyi hadn't refined the cloak, ordinary foundation-building cultivators wouldn't be able to detect the aura around her.

"Don't make a sound. Follow me," Lei Weiyue instructed as she stepped out of the dungeon.

Zhou Siyi gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and struggled to follow behind.

"Bang!"

After they exited the cell, Lei Weiyue closed the iron door, took out a token, and activated the formation on the door once more.

Afterward, seeing that Zhou Siyi was struggling to move, Lei Weiyue decided to use her spiritual power to drag her along. The two of them levitated a foot off the ground and flew outside.

As they reached the dungeon's main gate, the guards saw the two figures flying out from the corridor.

The guards were all astonished. Why was there someone in a black cloak following Lei Weiyue? And where was their leader?

Before any of the guards could speak, Lei Weiyue spoke first.

"Keep the dungeon secure. Don't ask about anything else."

Lei Weiyue was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator and the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall. In front of these Lei family members at the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages, she held immense authority.

The guards immediately fell silent, not daring to question her.

They could only watch as Lei Weiyue and Zhou Siyi passed through the dungeon's formation and flew high into the sky.

With Song Wen waiting outside for assistance and Lei Yue not being at the Lei family, this meant that as long as they escaped the Lei family, the two of them would be able to get away safely.

Thus, Lei Weiyue no longer tried to hide their presence. She took Zhou Siyi and sped toward the northern city gate.

The dungeon was less than two hundred miles from the northern city gate.

If no one interfered, Lei Weiyue could reach the gate in just a few dozen breaths, even while carrying Zhou Siyi.

The two of them swiftly flashed through the sky, drawing the attention of many Lei family members.

However, none of them stepped forward to inquire.

As the northern city gate came into view, only three or four breaths away, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the gate.

"Lei Weiyue, what happened? Why the hurry?" The person who spoke was a male cultivator in the later stages of Golden Core.

"Lei Zhenxu, I have urgent business. Don't block my way," Lei Weiyue replied coldly.

Lei Zhenxu, seeing Lei Weiyue's urgency, didn't intend to be an obstruction and was about to step aside.

However, at that moment, his spiritual sense swept over Lei Weiyue and Zhou Siyi.

His expression immediately hardened.

"Why is Zhou Siyi with you?"

He clearly recognized Zhou Siyi, having seen her before.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized what was happening.

"Wait, you're trying to take her and escape!"

While they were speaking, Lei Weiyue had already reached Lei Zhenxu and was only a few dozen feet from the city gate. From here, she could see Song Wen waiting outside the gate.

"Lei Weiyue, you dare betray the Lei family!"

Lei Zhenxu shouted in anger.

He suddenly raised his hand, and his powerful spiritual energy gathered in his palm before he swung it out.

A giant hand-shaped phantom, several yards high, appeared and shot toward Lei Weiyue.

Lei Zhenxu didn't intend to kill Lei Weiyue, but this strike was enough to stop her from escaping.

Lei Weiyue's pupils constricted at the sight.

With no way to retreat, she had no choice but to press forward, charging through the city gate.

She summoned a ten-foot-tall black shield, gathered all her spiritual energy, and prepared to block the attack.

Lei Weiyue braced herself with the shield and charged toward the palm-shaped phantom.

"Boom!"

The phantom hand collided with the shield.

The shield trembled violently.

The powerful shockwave caused Lei Weiyue, along with the shield, to be pushed back. She crashed into Zhou Siyi, sending both of them tumbling like rolling gourds, landing on the ground.

The disturbance immediately attracted the attention of many Lei family members, including the guards at the city gate. These individuals quickly moved away, fearing being caught in the aftershocks.

Lei Weiyue's heart sank. With the current situation, escaping now seemed nearly impossible.

But she wasn't going to surrender just yet. She raised her hand, and the shield in front of her suddenly began to spin rapidly, like a giant flying wheel, cutting toward Lei Zhenxu.

"Childish trick!" Lei Zhenxu snorted coldly.

He raised his hand and swung another palm strike.

"Boom!"

The phantom hand collided with the shield again.

However, this time, things were different.

The shield didn't fly away easily. Instead, it continued spinning at high speed, actually tearing through the phantom hand and continuing toward Lei Zhenxu.

Seeing this, Lei Zhenxu realized that Lei Weiyue was making a desperate last attempt. He steeled himself and prepared to handle the situation seriously.

But he still didn't intend to kill Lei Weiyue. His goal was to capture her alive.

In an instant, the spiritual energy within Lei Zhenxu's body surged like a burst dam, flowing powerfully.

Strands of lightning flickered in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, a thunder shield had already materialized in front of him.

The spinning shield collided fiercely with the thunder shield.

An explosion of dazzling lightning erupted, accompanied by a deafening roar.

The shield was sent flying.

The thunder shield also shattered, sending threads of lightning flashing in the air.

"Lei Weiyue, you can't escape. Surrender..."

Before Lei Zhenxu could finish speaking, two tiny shadow bugs emerged from the remnants of the lightning.

Due to the chaotic spiritual energy from the battle, the surrounding aura had become wildly disordered, concealing the presence of the shadow bugs. By the time Lei Zhenxu noticed them, the bugs were already only a few paces away.

Lei Zhenxu remained calm. With a thought, a magical shield quickly formed around him, protecting him from the bugs.

The two shadow bugs suddenly grew to the size of washbasins and slammed into the shield.

"Boom, boom."

There were two muffled sounds.

Lei Zhenxu's magical shield didn't shatter, but the immense impact forced him to stumble back repeatedly.

"Just a couple of bugs. How dare they be so bold?" Lei Zhenxu roared in anger, summoning a long sword into his hand.

With the sword in hand, he swung it, sending a slash of light toward one of the shadow bugs.

The bug quickly shrank and tried to dodge the sword's light.

But the sword followed the bug relentlessly, and in a single strike, the bug was split in two and died on the spot.

Lei Zhenxu flicked his wrist, sweeping the sword toward the other bug.

Seeing the danger, the second shadow bug shrank to the size of a sesame seed and darted toward the city gate.

Lei Zhenxu raised his sword to chase, but just then, two figures flashed past not far away.

It was Lei Weiyue and Zhou Siyi.

Taking advantage of Lei Zhenxu's distraction with the bugs, Lei Weiyue tried to escape from the Lei family.

Lei Zhenxu, unable to continue chasing the bugs, activated his sword and prepared to strike at Lei Weiyue and Zhou Siyi.

At that moment, there was a massive spiritual energy fluctuation from the city gate.

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the earth trembled, and the city gate shook violently. If not for the protective formations, the thick city wall might have crumbled into rubble.
