"Dare to lay a hand on my hometown, no one can save you today."

Zhang Ran's figure had already appeared in the void, facing an empty space, he raised his hand and grasped it, unleashing a burst of lightning in his hand, forming a thunderous net that enveloped the entire space.

This was the second-level Daoist technique, the Five Thunder Incantation. In Zhang Ran's hands, it had already transformed from decay to wonder. Combined with his immense spiritual power, the thunder technique filled his large spiritual hand, forming a terrifying thunder net. The power of this thunder net was boundless, and its might was no weaker than the previous fire phoenix.

"Sizzle!" The sound erupted.

In this void, ten figures were forced out by him. The leader was a woman as radiant as spring, appearing to be around twenty-five years old. Even without makeup, she was still breathtakingly beautiful. This person was none other than the saintess of the Jun family, Li Qiushui's mother.

Facing Zhang Ran's casual attack and such terrifying power, she was astonished by Zhang Ran's strength, but she was not panicked. She had brought nine mid-Nascent Soul cultivators with her, and they all had the same appearance.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that these nine people were definitely not ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

The nine people held the same hand seal in their hands, their movements synchronized, as if each person's actions were copied. It was neat and uniform.

Suddenly, a red pillar of light rose up around them, blocking the lightning and then expanding. Countless red threads extended from it, gradually devouring Zhang Ran's thunder net.

But for Zhang Ran, these were just insignificant tricks. He saw his hands reverse, and a huge seal appeared in the sky with a loud rumble. It fell from the void, smashing through the clouds and causing the spiritual energy in the world to go into chaos.

Divine Ability - Human King Seal.

Below, a mountain-sized inverted ground seal also descended, as if to trap these ten mid-Nascent Soul cultivators in one fell swoop.

The two Divine Abilities erupted together, and they were both activated by the power of six Nascent Soul stages. Immense magical power filled the air.

This instantly made the previously calm Jun family saintess change her expression. This power was comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Impossible, even a triple Thunder Tribulation shouldn't be this strong," she murmured, but her movements did not stop.

Together with the nine cultivators she brought, they formed hand seals and used their treasures to resist.

"Boom!"

With the eruption of the Divine Abilities, all nine members of the Jun family, those nine identical cultivators, all spewed blood and their aura weakened. They stood in the void, covered in bruises, while the saintess remained unharmed.

This result surprised Zhang Ran slightly. None of them had died. The problem lay with these nine people; they had evenly distributed the damage among themselves.

Zhang Ran didn't waste any more words and prepared to finish off these people with one strike.

At this moment, an urgent voice came.

"Mother, you finally came."

Li Qiushui had just been blocked by Zhang Ran using the Primordial Origin Bowl. Now that she had just received her treasure, she saw the people in the air and immediately recognized her mother.

"Sister, is this your mother? Are you kidding me? She didn't hold back against you just now," Zhang Ran exclaimed in surprise. Some families would not hesitate to kill their own parents or children for the sake of their interests.

But Li Qiushui obviously had no such conflicts of interest. Her mother had even made a ruthless move against her.

At the same time, Zhang Ran took out the Qiankun Pen and drew a cage in the void, trapping the ten people inside.

"Wife, I..." Li Qiushui felt extremely embarrassed. Having a mother who had been so ruthless to her was really difficult for her to bear.

"Hmph, I don't have a shameless daughter like you. Today, none of you can escape," the Jun family saintess said coldly. Even though she was currently trapped by Guxing, she didn't show much panic. It was obvious that she still had some tricks up her sleeve.

Suddenly, she noticed something unusual about Li Qiushui. As someone who had been through it before, she immediately realized that Li Qiushui had already transformed from a girl into a woman.

"Mother, after all these years, you still won't let me go," Li Qiushui said with a gloomy expression.

Jun Yao didn't even listen to what Li Qiushui said. She directly cursed, "You unfilial daughter, you're simply disgraceful. You shameless thing, you actually did that with him? You are my Jun Yao's daughter, behaving like this, where can I put my face? You bastard, a few years ago, I already saw that you were like a fox spirit. Sure enough, now it's true. Today, all of you will die here together with me."

Li Qiushui couldn't speak under such scolding. She lowered her head, not knowing what to do. Her eyes were filled with sadness because she had been scolded by Jun Yao many times before, and she had even almost died at her hands.

Zhang Ran seemed to understand something from their conversation, but he didn't understand why a mother would scold her own daughter as a fox spirit.

He hugged Li Qiushui, his deep eyes revealing a cold killing intent as he stared at the Jun family saintess. Jun Yao felt a chill in her heart when she faced Zhang Ran's murderous intent. This feeling made her uneasy, but when she thought of her trump card, she forcibly calmed down.

"So, you're the holy maiden of the Jun family. I haven't come to settle the score with you for chasing after Yu Yan back then, but now you dare to come out and seek death on your own initiative. For the sake of Li Qiushui's face, I will let you beg me to kill you."

Zhang Ran glanced at Li Qiushui, who looked helpless and scared, and held her tighter. "Senior sister, don't be afraid. With me here, she can't harm you."

"Husband, I know my request is unreasonable, but she is still my birth mother. I hope to spare her life, just one life is enough, as a way to repay her for giving birth to me," Li Qiushui said softly. She felt uneasy in her heart, knowing that this would make Zhang Ran uncomfortable, but she still spoke up. However, the implicit meaning was that sparing one life this time meant that Li Qiushui had also become disheartened.

Hearing these words, Jun Yao's chest heaved with anger, as if she had already been sentenced to death. She sneered, "What a joke. The esteemed holy maiden of the Jun family is no match for a country bumpkin."

Zhang Ran ignored her and used the Primordial Origin Bowl to settle Li Qiushui down. Then, with a calm gaze, he turned his eyes towards Jun Yao, his gaze as indifferent as the heavens looking down on all living beings.

With a snap of his fingers, nine thunderbolts fell from the sky in an instant. These were fourth-level Daoist thunderbolts, each striking one of the nine Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators brought by the holy maiden of the Jun family. Just like Zhang Ran, they instantly unleashed nine fourth-level Daoist techniques. Apart from Soul Formation cultivators, he was the only one who could do this.

For an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator to be able to unleash three at once was already extraordinary.

The nine Nascent Soul cultivators of the Jun family, known as the Nine Demon Souls, had extremely strict training conditions. They had to be nonuplets, and it was rare for Jun Yao to be able to find them. The combined strength of the nine Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul peak-stage cultivator.

But...

Boom!

Nine thunderbolts fell, and the nine identical Nascent Soul powerhouses were already on the verge of death. Under the fatal blows, they could only hurriedly defend themselves, but in an instant, they lost their breath. As the nine figures fell, the Nine Demon Souls were destroyed.

"It's impossible. Nine fourth-level Daoist techniques at the same time. You are definitely not just a Nascent Soul cultivator," Jun Yao's expression changed drastically. The Nine Demon Souls were not so easily defeated. Although they had just been heavily injured, they could still contend with Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators even at the cost of their lives. Zhang Ran's use of Daoist techniques was too abnormal, to the point that the Nine Demon Souls became nothing more than decorations.

"Buzz!"

At the moment of the Nine Demon Souls' death, Jun Yao's expression slightly froze. She decisively crushed two golden talismans in succession. A sword shadow instantly shot out from one of the talismans, tearing through the air and heading towards Zhang Ran. The other talisman had a giant spirit god drawn on it, guarding her from within.

"Two fifth-level talismans! One for offense and one for defense," Zhang Ran's expression changed. These were talismans refined by Soul Formation cultivators, and he couldn't underestimate them. He immediately made a light stroke in the void.

A gentle breeze began to blow in the world, and in less than a breath's time, a fine rain fell from the sky, the Divine Ability of Slanting Wind and Fine Rain.

These fine raindrops fell on Jun Yao's protective barrier, making a hissing sound, and the brightness of the barrier dimmed.

"What kind of Divine Ability is this?" Jun Yao had already witnessed three Divine Abilities from Zhang Ran today, and the proficiency with which he cast them was almost perfect. This made her doubt her life.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator to refine a Divine Ability to perfection after hundreds of years was extremely difficult. How long had Zhang Ran been a Nascent Soul cultivator? Yet he had already displayed three Divine Abilities in succession. Were there really such geniuses in the world?

The sword shadow produced by the fifth-level talisman, carrying the momentum of Opening Heaven, attacked Zhang Ran, and the sword energy split the heavens and earth.

This was an attack comparable to that of a Soul Formation cultivator, a dimensional strike that was completely beyond the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if it didn't kill them, it would heavily injure a Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator.

Boom!

Zhang Ran decisively made a move, not daring to be careless in the face of the fifth-level talisman. He directly used the Spiritual Weapon that only Soul Formation cultivators could use, the Diamond Club. After all, it was a system reward; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to refine or use any external Spiritual Weapons.

Boom!

The sword energy soared into the sky, colliding with the Spiritual Weapon. The terrifying shock caused the void to tremble, and after countless streams of light intertwined, a tricolored halo formed and dissipated. Zhang Ran stood unscathed in the void.

"Spiritual Weapon? How could you use a Spiritual Weapon?" Jun Yao exclaimed in shock. "You are definitely not a Nascent Soul cultivator who has undergone the Triple Thunder Tribulation."

Because only Soul Formation cultivators could refine and activate Spiritual Weapons, except for the legendary Quadruple Thunder Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivators, who might be able to use Spiritual Weapons in the later stages.

"Whether I am Triple Thunder Tribulation or not is not the key. The key is, have you thought about how to face my wrath?" Zhang Ran's voice was cold and sinister, like a devil crawling out of hell.

A cold light flashed in Jun Yao's eyes, and her expression turned cold. It seemed as if she had made up her mind and was ready to use her ultimate move.

In her mind, a purple jade talisman began to emit a faint light.

At the same time...

A tearing sound came from the void, followed by continuous thunderous roars. Boom! Boom! Seven consecutive sounds.

His fifth-level barrier had already been eroded by the fine rain, and now it was forcibly shattered by Zhang Ran's seven consecutive thunderbolts.

After all, the energy of the talisman was limited. If it were a Soul Formation cultivator standing here, it would probably take Zhang Ran a whole day to break through.
