The black thunder water was inherently silent.

Thus, it was not until the thunder water neared the feet of the Lin Clan disciples that they noticed its presence.

Only when the thunder water exploded on their bodies did it emit a SIZZLING sound of electricity.

But by then, as the thunder water latched onto them, it was too late for these Lin Clan disciples to evade.

As disciples of a noble clan with vast holdings and abundant resources, each of them possessed protective Spiritual Objects bestowed by their elders.

However, most of these Spiritual Objects had already been exhausted at Tiansong Mountain.

Now, with the black thunder water wound around them, these Lin Clan disciples could only struggle to resist with their own skills.

Cultivators who followed the Confucian Classical Studies path fared better by projecting their Sword Qi outward.

Those of the Confucian Divine Archery Lineage could only bolster their physical bodies with Vast Integrity Great Righteous Energy to withstand the assault.

The worst off were cultivators from the Confucian Chanting Sect.

If given time to react, they could chant verses to draw upon natural Spiritual Energy for protection, which would likely have been the most effective.

But with the thunder water already clinging to them, they were caught off guard. Possessing the weakest physical constitutions, they were instantly overwhelmed by the black thunder water, electricity ravaging their bodies mercilessly.

The remaining three or four Lin Clan disciples, who cultivated either Scriptures Studies or Divine Archery, tried to resist the thunder water's erosion while attempting to escape.

However, they now realized their surroundings were shrouded in darkness, almost entirely filled with the silent yet extremely vicious thunder water.

Lei Jun's Gui Water Yin Thunder.

Having evolved from Dark Water Thunder into Gui Water Yin Thunder, this thunder water, which transformed the utmost rigidity into utmost suppleness, had increased in scale. It changed from a black "hidden river" into what seemed like a vast black "sea of thunder."

The group of Lin Clan disciples found themselves trapped within this oceanic expanse of Yin Thunder, struggling in vain to free themselves.

They desperately wanted to seek help from Master Lin, who was at Tiansong Mountain behind them.

But looking back, their hearts sank.

In the distance, the fierce confrontation between the Great Demon and the Great Scholar had reached a fever pitch, its shockwaves sweeping over the neighboring mountain ridges.

However, the vast Sword Qi was clearly at a disadvantage.

Could it be a Bipolar Heavenly Eagle with the strength of an Eighth Heavenly Layer Cultivator?!

The battlefield was chaotic. The rampant Demonic Qi Evil Miasma from the Great Demon spread in all directions, rendering the Confucian Cultivators' miraculous techniques, like the Seeing the Words as if Seeing the Person Technique, useless.

They were left with no route to escape and no one to turn to for help.

The mood among the Lin Clan disciples was one of utter despair.

One of them screamed in agony.

Looking down, his lower body was already enveloped by the black thunder water, as if inked with a thick layer of sticky black dye.

He bit his teeth, as if making a resolute decision, and suddenly revealed a peculiar Crystal Stone in his hand.

The Crystal Stone flickered with light. As the Lin Clan disciple shouted, his body suddenly froze on the spot, as if his soul had departed.

Meanwhile, the strange Crystal Stone levitated on its own, rising into the air.

The other Lin Clan disciples were taken aback by this development.

One with broader knowledge cried out in shock, "What is that... Where did you get such an evil artifact? If Master Lin finds out, he'll surely flay you alive!"

The light within the peculiar Crystal Stone flashed repeatedly, revealing the face of the Lin Clan disciple, who roared, "Survival is the priority! How can I care about so much else right now?"

Among the remaining three, two hesitated while the other shouted, "Let's go together, let's escape together!"

At this critical moment of life and death, he cast aside his usual convictions and immediately performed a Soul Out-of-Body, sending his Spiritual Soul from his physical shell towards the peculiar Crystal Stone.

The light from the mysterious Crystal Stone grew increasingly brilliant and eerie.

But suddenly, large swaths of dull, earthy yellow Spirit Light appeared in midair.

This Spirit Light, almost tangible, converged from six directions—above, below, and all four sides—instantly forming an earthen cube-like structure that sealed the peculiar Crystal Stone within.

The emotions of the other two Lin Clan Cultivators swung wildly. They felt regret for being a step away from escaping and relief that they hadn't also performed a Soul Out-of-Body.

Unfortunately, before they could process further thoughts, a small flame ignited behind each of them.

The flames were tiny and faint, resembling candlelight, gently flickering as if a mere breeze could snuff them out at any moment.

But in the next moment, the flames suddenly exploded!

The intense thunder fire, compressed to the extreme, now burst forth in a display of power more ferocious than the vast thunder water in that instant.

This was the Ding Fire Yin Thunder, derived from Lei Jun's Yin Five Thunder Righteous Dharma.

The Ding Fire, with its candle-like form, appeared unremarkable at first glance.

But it burned endlessly, accumulating power, and its sudden eruption was astonishingly forceful.

The two remaining Lin Clan cultivators were quickly engulfed by the thunder fire.

The defenses they had struggled so hard to maintain were breached, and the thunder water below surged rapidly upwards.

Under the combined assault of water thunder and fire thunder, the two Lin Clan disciples were instantaneously reduced to nothingness.

As for the other two soulless bodies, they had already been eroded and engulfed by the thunder water a moment earlier.

In the distance, Lei Jun, holding the Breathing Soil Banner, beckoned.

The earthen cube sealing the peculiar Crystal Stone in midair immediately flew back to Lei Jun.

Generally, Lei Jun refrained from looting the corpses of direct disciples from factions like the Mount Shu Sect, his own Celestial Master Mansion, or the Jiangzhou Lin Clan.

This was to avoid unforeseen repercussions.

His earlier decision not to take the demon feathers in Remaining Sunlight Gorge stemmed from the same consideration.

However, after hearing the two Lin Clan disciples' conversation, Lei Jun realized the strange Crystal Stone was their private possession and something frowned upon by the Lin Clan elders. Thus, he decided to claim this treasure.

The Great Demon's Demonic Qi Evil Miasma had disrupted the flow of Spiritual Energy in all directions. Consequently, having eliminated all these Lin Clan disciples, Lei Jun had no remaining scruples.

He wrapped the earthen cube with the Breathing Soil Banner. Without inspecting it closely, he first tidied up the scene and then quietly departed, planning to examine his prize in detail later.

As for the outcome of the battle on Tiansong Mountain between Master Lin and the Bipolar Heavenly Eagle, Lei Jun no longer concerned himself with it.
