White mist swirled and gradually cleared, revealing a vast space enveloped in stormy winds and clashing thunder and lightning.

Inside the fierce storm, Thunder God and Mother of Lightning flanked from both sides, blocking Jiang Li's escape path as the killing intent spread along with the thunder and lightning.

"Dinghu Sect's new Yaoguang Breaking Army is truly as renowned as they say, worthy of being a disciple of the Gongsun Family Master."

Mother of Lightning stroked a strand of hair hanging down her face, smiling slightly, her gold ring emitting flashes of golden electricity against her pale skin, "It's just a pity that today your life shall end here."

"Just with you two?" Jiang Li said indifferently, his hands hanging by his sides.

Both Thunder God and Mother of Lightning were famous fourth-rank experts. Together, they were strong enough to confront any fourth-rank opponent, yet to claim Jiang Li's life was still insufficient. Not to mention Jiang Li's own strength was comparable to the fourth rank, he also had the Godslayer Spear by his side; within the fourth rank, he truly feared no one.

Except for Tianxuan...

When the day came that he could mount it, he would then be invincible among the fourth rank.

A scornful remark entered the ears of the divine duo, along with a peculiar and indescribable strange idea, which stoked the flames of their Heart Fire.

However—

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Thunder roared and lightning struck. Thunder and lightning resonated from the divine pair, radiant with flashes of thunder and lightning; the Sword Intent of the Secret Heart Demon Sword was simultaneously dispersed.

"Hmph! Evil heretics!"

Thunder God sneered coldly: "I may have a bad temper, but I'm not so easily swayed by your sneaky tricks."

"We, the Thunder and Lightning Divine Pair, possess the power to act on behalf of Heaven's punishment, endowed with heavenly might. Trivial tricks like yours can't faze us," said Mother of Lightning with a smile remaining, speaking slowly, "Of course, being Yaoguang Breaking Army of Dinghu Sect is always about undertaking conquests. Although young, one wouldn't have reached such a position just relying on connections. Perhaps we two alone might not be enough to keep you here, but—"

"What if we mobilize all the Yellow Turban Warriors and Doctors, forming a battalion with a thousand men to suppress you? How will you respond then?"

Taiping Sect's Yellow Turban Warriors ranged from eighth to sixth rank, and the doctors were the same; a thousand men could rival a hundred thousand Ninth Grade Heavenly Soldiers, not to mention the Taiping Sect's forces definitely numbered more than a thousand.

They also had law orders, ninth-rank warriors, ordinary sect members, and even refugees could become a reserve life force.

In short, they had numbers.

A thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand; when the number reached a certain level, Qi would converge into a sea, which Jiang Li would also struggle to resist.

This outcome was possible.

Heavenly Soldiers were divided, and the Taiping Sect would annihilate them in parts. Thunder God and Mother of Lightning didn't need to win; they just needed to buy time until reinforcements from all directions arrived.

Their choice was to trap Jiang Li, who might break the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law, annihilate the majority of the Heavenly Soldiers first, tackle the easy before the difficult, then gather together to execute Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was the most likely to break the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law as he was adept in Yi Dao, a newly appointed elder of Dinghu Sect, a disciple of Tianxuan, and the Gongsun Family Prince Consort; he might have even read the "Chi You Three Disks Scripture."

Although this cultivation technique was considered a forbidden technique within Dinghu Sect, and the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law even more so—accessible only to the Gongsun Family Master and Dinghu Sect Leader—but who knows if Jiang Li took Tianxuan's backdoor to access the full text of "Chi You Three Disks Scripture."

After unlocking the Godslayer Spear and reviewing the "Form Tomb" and then taking office as Yaoguang Breaking Army, outsiders had already given up hope that Tianxuan would follow the rules. She treated Jiang Li exceptionally well, to the extent that those unaware would think Jiang Li was not the Affiliated Son-in-law summoned by Gongsun Qingyue, but by her, Tianxuan.

Mother of Lightning revealed this information attempting to disrupt Jiang Li's mind, thus gaining an upper hand.

If he could kill directly, why would he wait for support?

"I haven't tasted the hardship from Jiang, and no matter how much importance others feign, deep down they still harbor the slight illusion that they might be able to kill me."

Jiang Li's grasp of psychology, if not exquisitely microscopic, was rare in his time; he almost instantly sensed her intentions just as Mother of Lightning finished speaking.

The feeling of potentially defeating one's opponent is common, sometimes profound, sometimes superficial; sometimes real, sometimes merely an illusion.

"So, should I give these two a little Affiliated Son-in-law surprise?"

Jiang Li pondered and ultimately, helplessly let the idea go.

Ever since he got involved with the Gongsun Family, his progress became uncontrollable—advancing rapidly, breaking through fiercely. Despite being known as an Affiliated Son-in-law, no one dared to underestimate Jiang Li anymore; it had been a long time since any crooked smiles were directed his way.

This act of a pig pretending to be a tiger was better left to the true Dragon King's Affiliated Son-in-law.

In this mist and storm, the one most likely to breakthrough the Jiuli Vast Sky Realm Law was not Jiang Li, but rather a certain Prince Consort who sneaked in with the Heavenly Soldiers like a common fish. The Taiping Sect really guarded against the wrong person.

Since that was the case, he might as well play the role of someone who is held up.

Thinking thus, Jiang Li's pupils briefly faded in intensity; his figure split in two, one ahead and one behind, transforming into two forms, attacking Thunder God and Mother of Lightning simultaneously.

"Boom!"

Dark thunder burst forth from the advancing figure, directly aiming for Thunder God while the retreating figure soared with a flash of Sword Light, its sharp edge a thin line, slicing directly at Mother of Lightning.

"How bold!"

Thunder God roared, his body trembling instantly as a pair of Wind and Thunder Wings unfurled behind him.

He had anticipated Jiang Li's sudden move but had not expected that Jiang Li would use the Thunder Technique on him, the Taiping Sect's Thunder God—this was like brandishing a sword before Guan Gong or showing off one's modest skill in front of an expert.

The wings vibrated, thunder boomed, and Thunder Sound collided with the black Yin Thunder, causing the Thunder Light to burst while Thunder God took a fierce step forward, his burly figure transforming like a Powerful Warrior, his feet like eagles, and big as fan palms, his palms thrashed out with booming thunder.

Meanwhile, behind him, Mother of Lightning crossed her hands; the golden rings on her wrist turned into two Light Mirrors, wielded by her hands, casting electric light.

The dual gods, one in front and one behind, executed their moves simultaneously; their Qi mechanisms melded, and in that instant, a terrifying anomaly burgeoned—thunder roared earth-shakingly, the space itself seemed to tremble, countless thick thunders interweaved, their bright radiances piercing through every inch of space, like divine punishment ending the world.

"Punish the shadow, atone for the past," Mother of Lightning declared crisply.

"The Sound of Heaven's Wrath," roared Thunder God.

Thunder and lightning mingled, urging the annihilation of all things. Like dragon-serpent thunderbolts intersecting, the Thunder Sound reverberated through tangible bodies, intimidating intangible spirits. In an instant, the Sword Light was blasted open, and the Yin Thunder was scattered.

The two forms retreated along their original paths, merging back into one, while Thunder God held a Big Hammer, striking it on an Iron Wedge that appeared in his other hand, again blasting thunder, while Mother of Lightning manipulated the Light Mirror, with swift movements of electric light.

"Acting on behalf of Heaven."

The dual gods shouted together, thunder and lightning rising in unison, turning into a sea-like thunderstorm in a blink, countless lightning bolts flashy and intersecting, forming a Thunder Hell.
