Taiyi Dao Fruit

"Boom!"

The Yellow Turban Warrior fell to the ground like a collapsing mountain, his life force and Qi completely obliterated by the domineering Thunder Technique, killing him instantly.

"Powerful Warrior?"

The doctor exclaimed in surprise, his divine sense detecting the disappearance of the Yellow Turban Warrior's Qi.

Involuntarily, the doctor opened his eyes to confirm, only to be dazzled by the blinding light.

This damned light continued relentlessly, never ceasing.

Jiang Li had transformed the Bright Light Talisman into a talismanic seed, ensuring that as long as his True Qi persisted, the light would not fade. He was like a sun fallen to earth, constantly emitting astonishing brightness that made it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.

The omnipresent light from all directions deprived everyone of their vision, even Jiang Li himself almost went blind from it. Fortunately, with the Emperor's Qi Observation Skill, Jiang Li's eye power was remarkable. Though his vision was affected, it didn't render him completely blind.

He flipped in mid-air without any leverage, light as a feather and one with the wind, swiftly approaching with his palms casting furious thunder.

"Purple Qi rides the heavens, Danxia fiercely surges,

Devouring demons and ghosts, sweeping across drinking the wind.

Green teeth and grey tongue, the old man with four eyes."

Both palms emitted an azure hue, yet also carried a scorching heat like magma; thunder roared through the sky, ferocious and domineering, blazing like wildfire.

Jiang Li, by nature attuned to fire, cultivated the Innate Qi, although supremely refined and versatile, was fundamentally rooted in the word "refine". Now, having received the energy transmission from Gongsun Qingyue, his True Qi transformed into the Drought God Fire Power, making the Thunder Technique so violent that even he himself was astonished by the formidable power of the thunder, causing the doctor's spirit to tremble intensely.

Although he was a Seventh Rank, he felt somewhat overwhelmed by such powerful Thunder Technique.

At that moment, the doctor raised his staff high, with rampant thunder wildly darting behind him, converging into a vague form of a Giant Spirit.

"Thunder Shouting Technique! Ha!"

A sound of heavenly thunder resonated, its force shaking the surroundings.

The Thunder Giant Spirit clenched the thunder, boldly striking with its palm, the white thunder and thunderfire collided thunderously, a tyrannical flash of lightning producing a heaven-shaking clap.

"Boom!"

Qi Changsheng and the three others felt a thunderclap explode in their brains, dizzy and disoriented, plunged into a confused state by the thunder sound.

Gongsun Qingyue closed her eyes sensing the enemy with Divine Thought, hearing this sound, she inwardly sensed trouble, but her Sword Control became even tighter, countless sword shadows flew like quicksilver, surrounding and protecting herself, Qi Changsheng, and the other two, including the captive.

Neither she nor Jiang Li were aware of this strong enemy's presence, but when they realized that the opponent didn't intend to leave, they guessed that someone in charge had arrived.

Otherwise, the Transformation Snake wouldn't dare to consume the corpses of the Taiping Sect disciples, nor have the strength to continue causing trouble.

Thus, from the very beginning, both were prepared for a formidable enemy.

Since the opponent could take charge, they must have known that the major sects' true inheritors usually have life-saving techniques, so, from the start, it wasn't about killing Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue, but rather about destroying evidence.

Their real target was indeed Cao Yuanlong.

Thus, the more critical the situation, the more important it was to safeguard the witnesses and fellow disciples, to prevent the witnesses from being captured or killed, and the fellow disciples from being taken for an exchange.

With this in mind, Gongsun Qingyue's sword momentum intensified, her vision affected like that of the Transformation Snakes, but she still managed to prevent the twin snakes from crossing the Thunder Pool by even half a step.

And ahead, thunder clashed with thunder, fiercely and perilously.

Jiang Li's "Heavenly Pig Divine Spell" was supremely yang and inherently fiery, augmented by the Drought God's Energy transformed by his sister through transmitting energy. With additional yang to the fire, it was intensely dominant and peerless; even someone with the Divine Farmer's appearance like him found it somewhat overwhelming, which illustrated the formidable strength of the thunder at that moment.

Even when a doctor employed the "Thunder Shouting Technique," he still struggled to gain the upper hand.

However, there was another combat power at present.

Ren Zihe suddenly manifested surrounded by firelight; the redness filled the sky. Exerting all his strength, he summoned the power of the Divine Domain and pressed down on Jiang Li.

The home-field advantage of an Earth Deity fully manifested in that moment. Jiang Li, who was also of the Eighth Rank and even more powerful than Ren Zihe, was momentarily disrupted by this pressure, causing his domineering thunder to lose some of its ferocity.

Sensing the shift in the Qi mechanism, the doctor immediately seized the opportunity. The white-hot thunder exploited the moment to strike, blasting through the azure thunder light. A streak of electricity hit Jiang Li, sending him flying backward and causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Take him down!"

The doctor shouted loudly, but his steps were half a beat slow, allowing Ren Zihe to move first, in case Jiang Li suddenly revealed his trump card.

At the same time, he firmly locked onto Gongsun Qingyue's sword array with his spiritual power, ready to strike directly at any detected flaws and eliminate the witness.

Although Ren Zihe was also scheming, he was unaware of the unwritten rules known only to those within the major sects. He immediately prompted the flames, engulfing Jiang Li with intense fire.

As a civil official, he genuinely did not have much time to cultivate. However, the advantage of an Earth Deity's Dao Fruit lay in its ability to grow strength without cultivation. For instance, the Earth Deity Dao Fruit, lacking the Divine Body of a Heavenly Weapon Dao Fruit, had the "Incense Fire God" ability, which could absorb incense fire thought power to enhance strength.

Thus, when Ren Zihe made his move, although it was rudimentary, the power was undoubtedly strong.

However...

Suddenly, a clear light flared up, sweeping over and passing through Jiang Li like an illusory bubble, failing to harm him in the slightest.

Ren Zihe's complexion drastically changed; even with his vision impaired, he felt an irresistible suppression.

"How is this possible?"

He stomped his foot in frustration. White vapors rose, enveloping his form as he attempted to escape underground.

"Think you can escape?"

In Jiang Li's hand appeared a delicate jade seal. The clear light shone down from the sky onto the white vapors, revealing his form and completely suppressing his Dao Fruit Ability.

"You are also royal offspring?" Ren Zihe asked in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li also possessed a jade seal. Ren Zihe and the doctor had miscalculated; instead, they had fallen into a trap that lured them out of hiding.

They had intended to use Jiang Li's safety as bait to force Gongsun Qingyue to come to the rescue, aiming to eliminate the witness in the process. However, they did not anticipate Jiang Li countering their move and driving them into a corner completely.

"No, merely an affiliated son-in-law,' Jiang Li thought to himself, though his actions did not slow. With a mere glance from afar, he forced Ren Zihe, now pallid as a liver, to kneel. Stretching out his hand, he grasped and the Viper burst forth from the ground.

Yin Talisman Seven Skills·Real Intent Technique Python.

Hidden below, the Mo Wu Battle Box transformed into an Ink Snake, emerging from the ground beneath the doctor's feet, coiling around his lower body and extending upwards.

The doctor's Divine Thought was distracted, needing to be wary of Jiang Li and to watch for any potential vulnerabilities from Gongsun Qingyue. He did not notice the Ink Snake's approach until it was too late.

"Three Points Return to Primordial Qi."

Once again, Jiang Li employed the Innate Qi, a technique specifically designed to counteract fancy protective methods, pushing his Primordial Qi forward, striking the doctor with a blast. In an instant, various talismanic lights dissipated, striking directly at his true form.

Simultaneously, his gaze swept over, and an invisible telekinetic force reappeared, striking directly at a vulnerable spot.

He would not believe that there was no weak point below either!
