"You can't handle this, can you?"

In Da Xia, there indeed existed an unwritten rule: during a duel, if one party left the arena, whether actively or passively, they were considered defeated.

"Get lost!" Zhao Zhenren half-knelt on the ground, slamming his hand down fiercely.

From high above, a golden giant palm thunderously smashed down!

It was so large that it not only covered the entire Martial Arts Arena but also enveloped many of the surrounding mountains and forests.

Chaos ensued all around, cries of alarm emanating from every direction:

"Zhao Zhenren! Have you lost your mind?"

"You don't care about your own life?"

"Stop it now!"

"Silence!" Jiang Li shouted loudly, her voice piercing through the tumult.

Everyone looked in astonishment at this powerful disciple of Sword One.

Zhao Zhenren had indeed gone mad.

Or rather, his desire to kill Lu Ran had reached its peak.

Since the battle began, Lu Ran's "bleat" hadn't ceased.

One should not consider Zhao Zhenren at this moment as a calm, cool-headed individual.

A common man's rage, yet blood splashes five steps away.

Extreme emotions naturally bring about extreme consequences.

The last shred of rationality made Zhao Zhenren utter, "Leaving the arena counts as a loss."

Yet in his heart, Zhao Zhenren roared, "Go to hell!"

Lu Ran's Divine Technique·Desolate Sound kept igniting an endless desire to harm in his opponent's heart.

It penetrated repeatedly, deepening with each moment.

Poisoned to such a degree was no longer something so-called rationality could restrain.

"You're crazy!" Lu Ran also shouted, a hint of panic in his voice.

"Just watch me!" Zhao Zhenren roared, his body bursting with brilliant golden light.

Martial Monk Divine Skill·Protector Dharma Golden Body!

"Whoosh!!"

The golden giant palm descended from the sky, crashing down thunderously.

"Hiss—"

Below, Lu Ran's feet stirred the Immortal Fog, not to flee but to charge at Zhao Zhenren!

His eyes, initially filled with fear, suddenly turned incredibly cold, his sinister words echoing through the arena:

"Just you watch!!"

Disciple Lu Ran humbly invites the Immortal Sheep Ancestor!

"Whoosh!!"

The Immortal Fog around Lu Ran surged, and a massive ethereal figure unfolded from him.

A robe of white jade, shimmering with a strange luster.

A face of a snow-white sheep, bearing a faint smile.

Immortal Sheep Divine Technique·Body of Substitute!

"No!!"

"Be careful, don't..."

"This... scapegoat?"

"Boom boom boom!" The golden giant palm crashed down; the earth tore apart, the woodlands collapsed.

The power of River Realm was indeed terrifying.

"Crack!!"

The golden-colored Martial Monk Believer, kneeling on the ground, saw his Golden Body shatter explosively!

Behind Zhao Zhenren, the two additional bodies were crushed beyond recognition, yet still desperately protecting their master.

Three furious bodies made of pure energy, yet each a tangible body of blood and flesh, equating to having two additional bodies grown on one's self.

Fingers still connected to the heart.

Such extreme pain from two whole bodies being smashed like this, how intense could it be?

"Spurt!!"

Zhao Zhenren knelt in the crater, dizzy, vomiting fresh blood, his original body also severely damaged.

"Hiss!"

Blade entering flesh!

"Hiss!"

Blade entering flesh!

Dawn Silent Night, one to the left, the other to the right, both blades mercilessly stabbed into the two heads behind Zhao Zhenren.

The intense pain transmitted into Zhao Zhenren's mind, as if his own skulls were pierced twice!

"Hiss!"

The twin blades swept sideways, ruthlessly cleaving both heads apart.

"Ahhhhhh!!" Zhao Zhenren screamed in agony, both hands clutching his head.

The so-called twin golden bodies, beneath the golden skin, possessed real, tangible flesh.

Blood splattered, flesh scattered.

Such a brutal scene sent chills down everyone's spine!

Yet the cruel scene continued, the twin blades fiercely chopped down all four arms.

Two heads, two arms, dissected while everyone watched...

"Bang!" Lu Ran kicked Zhao Zhenren in the face, knocking him to the ground.

One kick, another, and yet another...

Already dizzy, Zhao Zhenren's face became a blur of blood and flesh, his screams weakening.

From afar, voices of sympathy arose:

"Don't, don't hit him anymore!"

"Heavenly Pride Lu, please have mercy..."

"Smack!"

Lu Ran grabbed Zhao Zhenren by the neck, lifting him up, word by word:

"She said, she doesn't need your ride! Did you hear me clear this time?"

Honestly, if Lu Ran had said, "I, the great Heavenly Pride, don't need your coddling," it might have seemed more magnanimous.

But he instead declared: My girlfriend doesn't need your company.

Such words...

Lu Ran didn't care about others' opinions of him.

His actions were abnormal, his attacks brutal, even resorting to the Divine Technique·Body of Sin.

All just to make Jiang Ruyi's life more peaceful.

Four words: To kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.

In the future, Lu Ran would still need to travel to another realm, to leave Jiang Ruyi for a while.

Lu Ran hoped to resolve this issue once and for all!

He didn't want his girlfriend, his future wife, to live in a harassed environment forever.

As for others saying his methods were brutal, sinister, and violent...

As mentioned before, Lu Ran didn't care.

"She said, she doesn't need your ride! Do you understand?" Lu Ran bellowed, his voice carrying far.

"Hmm... Hmm." Zhao Zhenren lay in utter misery, his face a blur of blood and flesh, his breath faint, even the action of nodding his head was laborious.

"Lu Ran." A cold voice called out.

A woman in white, as pure as snow, floated in on a sword: "It's enough. Everyone understands your stance now."

Lu Ran turned to see a middle-aged woman, seemingly in her early thirties, likely a teacher.

This woman was indeed sharp-witted. From her words, it was not hard to discern she understood Lu Ran's intentions.

"It's enough." The woman spoke again, softly advising.

Lu Ran silently nodded and casually threw Zhao Zhenren onto the ground.

"Go take a walk, clear your head." The woman waved her hand, gesturing for Lu Ran to leave.

Under the woman's command, no one stopped Lu Ran from leaving.
