The Canglong and Sword Trace closed in rapidly, intertwining like dragons and snakes dancing together!

Trees tore apart, rocks shattered and flew, the battlefield was in utter chaos.

"Heavenly Path!" Lady Kong gasped in both shock and fury, her reaction quicker than anyone else as a Sea Realm Great Power.

Eight Golden Jade Stone Plates spread out from within her body as she immediately turned her attention to her husband.

And Luo Tiantu...

"No, I can't die!" Luo Tiantu's heart raced with fear, already knocked to the ground; he hurriedly threw out a Quicksand Talisman.

"Whoosh!!"

The mountainous forest terrain suddenly transformed, becoming a surging river of fine sand.

Luo Tiantu plunged headfirst into it, his thoughts triggering the fine sand streams within the river to wrap around his body, dragging him deeper underground.

Lady Kong's pupils shrank!

Luo Tiantu fled again!

Everything was exactly as Bai Yanhui predicted.

Luo Tiantu was a coward, obsessed with self-preservation.

When faced with an assault, the leader immediately chose to escape without attempting to stabilize morale or lead his team through the crisis.

He even abandoned his wife, let alone protecting his subordinates.

"Luo Tiantu!"

Lady Kong's face turned ashen.

A scene like this had already played out once before, during the siege of the Sinless Valley members not long ago.

Back then, Luo Tiantu was caught off guard by an ambush and similarly chose to flee instantly, disregarding the lives of his own people, even crushing an Electric Shackles Talisman to escape.

Though Tiantu Mountain ultimately claimed victory in that battle, Luo Tiantu's authority plummeted sharply.

Afterward, Luo Tiantu executed Sinless Valley's captives in front of the mountain's members with exceedingly cruel methods.

No matter what the members felt internally, they dared not voice their opinions.

In private, Luo Tiantu apologized to Lady Kong, coaxing her with endless excuses.

Taking into account their many years together as well as practical concerns, Lady Kong chose to temporarily set aside the unpleasant memories.

But now... Luo Tiantu ignored her again and fled?!

A leopard can never change its spots!

Though to be fair, among everyone present, Luo Tiantu wasn't the fastest runner.

That dubious honor belonged to the two East Thunder disciples, specially invited and pampered by Tiantu Mountain...

"Whoosh~"

Lady Kong could no longer care much; she hastily manipulated the Golden Jade Eight Talismans to expand their specifications.

River Grade Golden Jade Eight Talismans could enlarge palm-sized stone plates to dimensions of one meter in length and width.

Sea Grade Golden Jade Eight Talismans, however, could reach a maximum size of ten meters!

As a surge of energy flowed intensely, several Golden Jade Stone Plates expanded rapidly. In no time, the stone plates formed a cuboid structure, striving to shield everyone.

Relentless Canglong collided against the enormous Golden Jade Stone Plates, creating a dense cacophony of sounds.

But the problem was, the battlefield wasn't just filled with Canglong.

There were also long Sword Traces appearing out of thin air!

"Ah! Ahhh!"

"Ah..." Miserable screams sounded one after another.

The Sword Traces from the Night Charm Clan directly erupted within the cuboid, engaging in ruthless slaughter!

The bodies of the Jade Talisman disciples were split apart, limbs torn asunder, heads severed...

They were dismembered into pieces!

The catastrophic scene unfolded repeatedly.

Even the Water Flow Armor on Lady Kong was slashed open with gaping wounds; those of the River Realm had no chance of resisting.

Lady Kong's face stiffened, her palm forcefully pressing downward.

The massive cuboid formed with Golden Jade Stone Talismans slammed hard into the earth below.

Luo Tiantu was indeed cowardly, but his choice of escape path was optimal!

"Huh?" The only member of Tiantu Mountain's squad not under attack was the scout flying in the lead.

This scout held a high status within the mountain.

He was one of the Yu Family brothers wielding the Divine Weapon Earth Trace Sword – Yu Lenghe!

Yu Lenghe abruptly braked, hovering mid-air as he turned to look back.

Under the pale moonlight, the scout witnessed a scene resembling purgatory in the Human World.

Canglong danced, Sword Traces crisscrossed.

Everything had happened so swiftly that this scout could hardly react.

"Where are you looking?"

A cold voice suddenly emerged from behind.

The sentence was lengthy, yet Lu Ran's actions were swift.

Before the word "where" was completely uttered, Lu Ran, wielding the Dawn Blade in his left hand, had already slashed down!

Lu Ran couldn't distinguish whether this was Yu Lengshan or Yu Lenghe, but he vividly remembered the two brothers.

In the past, it was these Yu Family brothers and another despicable individual who forced Lu Ran onto a cliff edge.

Their greedy eyes had coveted Lu Ran's arsenal of Divine Weapons.

Not content with robbing him, they wanted him dead!

"Ah!" Yu Lenghe felt his hair stand on end.

The Divine Weapon Earth Trace Sword in his hand emitted a warning, sensing the aura of its counterpart.

But with the enemy already at his doorstep, what good was a warning?

Too late!

Yu Lenghe didn't even have the time to turn around, unleashing his skills frantically.

The Jade Talisman Formation encircling him shattered its White Jade Stone Plate symbolizing the Electric Shackles Talisman in an instant!

Simultaneously, the Golden Jade Eight Talismans burst from within him all at once.

"Crackle~ Crackle!"

A fifty-meter diameter Thunder Ball ignited, filled with countless erratic electric currents darting like tiny lightning serpents.

How quick was Lu Ran's reaction?

He could dodge.

But... why bother?

For Lu Ran, encircling him were several White Jade Stone Plates.

The River Grade Jade Talisman Formation comprised eight White Jade Stone Plates, two of which were Electric Shackles Talismans.

The erratic lightning serpents from Yu Lenghe's triggered Electric Shackles Talisman darted towards Lu Ran's Jade Talisman Formation·Electric Shackles Talismans.

As Lu Ran had foreseen: taught by the same master, the move can't be countered!

No!

Yu Lenghe was taught by Divine·Jade Talisman.

Lu Ran ordered the Fake God·Jade Talisman to forcibly deploy the sect's Divine Skill!

"Crack! Crack…"

The Dawn Blade gleamed!

Two active Golden Jade Stone Plates were sliced to pieces by the blade!

The Second-stage Divine Weapon was exceptionally sharp.

Lu Ran's Divine Power surged as he pushed the Divine Technique·Fierce Sky Power to its peak, his strength was astonishing!

"Slash!"

The Dawn Blade first cleaved through two Golden Jade Stone Plates then struck from Yu Lenghe's right shoulder to his left hip.

The Dawn gleamed first, followed by the Eight Desolates!

Lu Ran's actions were seamless. In his right hand, the Eight Desolates Blade drove through the sword trace.

The blade entered white, and exited red!

Yu Lenghe's eyes widened sharply as he saw the bloodstained blade tip pierce through his chest.

The Jade Talisman Formation and Golden Jade Eight Talismans encircling him shattered.

Only the Divine Weapon Earth Trace Sword remained in his grasp.

Lu Ran released the Dawn Blade and grabbed the Earth Trace Sword's hilt.

More precisely, his hand covered Yu Lenghe's, the two of them gripping the hilt together.

Lu Ran's icy gaze bore into him, his hand exerting enormous force!

When you tried to corner me...

Did you ever think you'd end up here?

"Crack!"

Bone shattered!

Yu Lenghe's life drained rapidly, but he wasn't completely dead. His last cry echoed: "Ah..."

Being of the River Realm, Lu Ran's strength was brute, not to mention employing the Divine Technique·Fierce Sky Power!

Yu Lenghe's hand bones splintered, his bloodied hand a mangled mess.

The Earth Trace Sword, covered in its former master's flesh and shattered bones, found itself firmly grasped in Lu Ran's hand.

The mighty Divine Weapon offered no resistance.

It seemed even it was intimidated by Lu Ran's ruthless aura.

"Boom!"

Lu Ran delivered a kick to Yu Lenghe, sending him flying like a cannonball toward the battlefield.

As he approached its edge, several Sword Traces materialized, slashing across his body.

The horrific scene unfolded again.

Dismemberment!

Lu Ran's eyes burned with the fires of revenge, while Deng Yuxiang's flames... blazed even stronger!

In the southern night sky, Deng Yuxiang stood midair, the Broken Blade in her hand pointed toward the battlefield.

The Broken Blade quivered violently.

Sea Realm Technique·Night Shadow Thousand Traces wasn't executed via the Broken Blade.

This technique's accompanying motion merely required Deng Yuxiang to extend her hand forward.

But her boiling killing intent and the crisscrossing thin Sword Traces on the battlefield made the Broken Blade react intensely!

Excluding the two East Thunder Disciples, Luo Tiantu's squad originally consisted of ten individuals.

After mere moments, the squad was reduced to only three!

Lady Kong, Yu Lengshan within the cuboid, and Luo Tiantu who first escaped underground.

Keep in mind, this squad consisted of members at or above the River Realm.

Deng Yuxiang… had already completely lost it!

"Madam!" Yu Lengshan trembled in terror, his voice shaking.

Within the cuboid formed by the Golden Jade Eight Talismans lay a pile of skeletal remains, alongside scattered flesh and dismembered parts.

Yu Lengshan knew this was what lay in store for him.

"Buzz!" The Divine Weapon Earth Trace Sword shook incessantly in Yu Lengshan's grip, seemingly trying to warn its wielder about something.

"Ah!" Yu Lengshan let out a sudden cry as a Sword Trace materialized out of nowhere, slicing off his calf.

Clean and precise.

Lady Kong gritted her teeth, her expression distorted.

She tried to shield her men but also sought her own salvation, yet the ruthless adversaries took down member after member with unrelenting force!

And all of this unfolded in less than ten seconds!

At this moment, Lady Kong's rage completely overtook her fear.

Yangyang Sea, its mighty dignity!

How could it tolerate such humiliation?

The relentless screams of her followers felt like mockery, sneering at her incompetence.

Lady Kong was consumed by fury, disregarding Yu Lengshan's fate, and detonated the Electric Shackles Talisman.

Sea Grade·Electric Shackles Talisman, its range was a staggering 500 meters!

Centered around Lady Kong, a Thunder Ball with a radius of 250 meters erupted instantly.

Lightning flashed, dazzlingly bright.

Poor Yu Lengshan couldn't even scream anymore, his entire body paralyzed.

But the members of Ran Sect...

Each and every one of them remained 300 meters away from the battlefield, outside the Electric Shackles Talisman's zone!

For this ambush, Ran Sect had clearly done exhaustive preparation.

"Thud!"

A heavily injured Lady Kong, desperately controlling the "cuboid," finally sank it into the raging Quicksand River below.

The Sword Traces lingering in the forest vanished.

But the swarm of numerous tiny Canglong continued their chase, pouring frantically toward the Quicksand River.

Luo Tiantu escaped underground?

Lady Kong escaped underground with Golden Jade Eight Talismans?

Not a chance!

Ran Sect had stayed stationed at Tiantu Mountain for over ten days, prepared for more than simply enduring the wait.

Bai Yanhui and Yu Changsheng strategized extensively with Lu Ran, meticulously selecting the perfect ambush site.

The two master tacticians ensured that Ran Sect's forces could create an inescapable trap, no matter the location.

"Rumble!"

The earth quaked.

Deep underground, Yan Shuangzi received Lu Ran's transmitted message and immediately signaled Yu Changsheng beside her.

From Dragon Guardian cast his spell swiftly, and a pale golden giant fish formed rapidly, erupting upward.

Sea Grade Divine Skill·Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat!

Escape underground?

Rest assured, Bai Yanhui and Yu Changsheng had anticipated everything!

[Mad Immortal.] Lu Ran called in his mind.

In the northern part of the forest, beside the Luoshen General.

Si Xianxian ignited intensely, raising one hand high: [Kill!]

In the distant night sky, two gigantic flaming war hammers emerged.

One belonged to Mad Immortal Guardian, the other to the Master of Ran Sect.

Lu Ran's gaze was ablaze with murderous intent! Tiantu Mountain, Yangyang Sea, Luo Tiantu, Lady Kong…

Half a year ago, when you besieged and hunted me, your planning was terribly flawed.

Today, I'll teach you what it truly means to have no way to heaven and no door to earth!

No one leaves!

"Whoosh!"

Lu Ran fiercely swung his hand downward.

The Fierce Sky Divine Hammer radiated fiery light high into the air, descending with devastating momentum to obliterate the ground beneath.
