So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

However, just when everyone in the Wu family thought that the storm was over and were preparing to clean up the mess, a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly came from the sky.

Zhao Peng's figure appeared in everyone's sight again, and beside him were several Zhao family masters. Obviously, they did not really leave, but were lurking in secret, waiting for the opportunity.

"As expected, the monster you locked up in the back mountain will never come down. Today is the day you die!"

Zhao Peng laughed loudly, his tone full of pride and arrogance.

He had obviously guessed that the person who appeared before was not Lingjun's real body, but her puppet clone.

When the Wu family members heard this, their faces suddenly changed. They didn't expect that the Zhao family would be so cunning and come back.

Ling Jiuan clenched her fists even more tightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes. She knew that at this moment, she could not retreat.

"Zhao Peng, don't be so arrogant! Even if Senior Lingjun can't come down the mountain, our Wu family will not be afraid of you!"

Ling Jiuan stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Her voice was crisp but full of power, as if it could penetrate the sky.

Zhao Peng sneered when he heard this.

"Humph, you are just a peak Jindan, and you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me? Today, I will let you know the true strength of a strong man in the Shenhua stage!"

After saying that, Zhao Peng's figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, heading straight towards Ling Jiuan.

He obviously intended to get rid of this young man who dared to challenge him first in order to intimidate everyone in the Wu family.

Seeing this, Ling Jiuan was frightened, but she did not retreat, but faced the challenge head-on.

"Akabane Sword, unsheathe!"

Ling Jiuan shouted loudly, and the Red Feather Sword in his hand instantly burst into dazzling light, as if it could cut through all obstacles.

She swung her sword towards Zhao Peng, and the sword energy collided with Zhao Peng's attack, causing a series of roars.

However, the strength of a strong man in the Spirit Transformation Stage is extraordinary after all. Even if Jiuan tried his best, he could hardly resist Zhao Peng's attack.

She only felt a powerful force surging, and her body involuntarily retreated backwards and almost fell to the ground.

At this critical moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Humph, a strong person in the Spiritual Transformation Stage is only this good."

As the voice fell, a figure in white descended like a fairy from the sky. It was Lingjun.

Although she could not leave the back mountain, at the critical moment, she threw out her puppet clone again and appeared on the battlefield in time to block Zhao Peng's attack for Ling Jiuan.

The puppet clone thrown out by Lingjun was like a white lightning, instantly blocking Ling Jiuan and Zhao Peng.

It swung its sword to meet Zhao Peng's attack, and the sword energy and spiritual power collided, causing a deafening roar.

However, although this puppet clone was strong, it was ultimately unable to resist Zhao Peng's powerful strength in the God Transformation Stage.

With a loud "bang", the puppet clone was hit by Zhao Peng's attack and instantly turned into ashes, turning into points of light and dissipating in the air.

Zhao Peng sneered when he saw this.

"Humph, another puppet? How many puppets do you have? Release them!"

His tone was full of sarcasm and disdain, and it was obvious that he did not take this puppet clone seriously.

However, after a long time, no more puppets appeared.

Although Lingjun is powerful, her puppet clones are not infinite.

This time, in order to save Ling Jiuan, she has thrown out her last puppet clone.

Ling Jiuan watched the puppet clone turn into ashes, and an indescribable grief and anger surged in his heart.

She knew that Lingjun had done so much for her, but she couldn't always rely on others' protection.

"Zhao Peng, stop being so arrogant!"

Ling Jiuan shouted loudly, she gripped the Chiyu sword tightly, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

"Even without the puppet, I, Ling Jiuan, will not be afraid of you!"

After she finished speaking, she flashed and turned into a stream of light, heading straight for Zhao Peng.

She knew very well that she had to give it her all in this battle, otherwise, not only would she die, but the Wu family would also suffer a devastating disaster.

Seeing this, Zhao Peng sneered even more.

"Humph, a mere peak Jindan stage person dares to challenge me head-on? Today, I will let you know the true strength of a strong person in the Spiritualization Stage!"

He swung his sword towards Ling Jiuan, and the sword energy collided with Ling Jiuan's attack.

The gap in strength was ultimately difficult to make up, and Jiuan felt a powerful force surging, causing his body to involuntarily step back.

At this critical moment, a cold voice sounded in my ears again.

"Jiuan, stand back and let me do it."

The person standing in front of Ling Jiuan was not Ling Yun, but a handsome young man in purple clothes named Lei Tingyi.

His appearance shocked everyone present, especially Zhao Peng, who narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the powerful man who suddenly appeared.

"Are you Lei Tingyi, the number one genius in Jiuzhou Continent?"

There was a hint of surprise and disdain in Zhao Peng's tone.

"Tsk, you are in the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Realm. At such a young age and with such a high level of cultivation, you really should not be underestimated! But today, no matter how talented you are, you will die in my hands!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi looked indifferent, as if he didn't take Zhao Peng's words to heart.

He gently waved the sword in his hand, and the sword light flashed, as if it could cut off all illusions.

"Zhao Peng, you are too confident. Today, I, Lei Tingyi, am here. Don't even think about hurting Ling Jiuan."

Zhao Peng sneered.

"Humph, a mere mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm dares to act so arrogantly in front of me? Today, I will let you know the true strength of a Spirit Transformation Realm expert!"

After saying that, his figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, heading straight towards Lei Tingyi.

The sword energy was running wild, colliding with Lei Tingyi's attack, causing bursts of roars.

However, Lei Tingyi's strength far exceeded Zhao Peng's expectations.

Although he is in the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Realm, his swordsmanship is so exquisite and his spiritual power is so strong that he seems to be able to compete with those in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Under Zhao Peng's fierce attack, he was still able to deal with it with ease, and even gradually gained the upper hand.

As time went on, Zhao Peng's offensive gradually became weaker, while Lei Tingyi's offensive became more and more fierce.

In the end, after a fierce collision, Zhao Peng was knocked back by Lei Tingyi's sword, spitting blood from his mouth, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"You...you are so powerful!"

Zhao Peng widened his eyes and looked at Lei Tingyi in disbelief.

"I...I'm not willing to give in!"

Lei Tingyi sheathed his sword, his expression indifferent.

"Zhao Peng, you lose. Today's matter ends here. If you dare to provoke the Wu family again, I, Lei Tingyi, will never let you go."

After saying that, he turned to look at Ling Jiuan and smiled slightly.

"Jiuan, are you okay?"

Ling Jiuan shook his head and looked at Lei Tingyi gratefully.

"I'm fine, thank you for your help."

Lei Tingyi smiled.

"He is my opponent in the first place, so why would he help you?"
