Li Ran was no match for Wu Chengkong.
The fact that he was several realms away from him was iron-clad. There was an insurmountable gap between them.
However, just because he couldn't win didn't mean he had to admit defeat.
Xiao Qingge was his woman. How could he ignore her words?
When facing the weak, he would show off their might. When the strong came, he would act like a coward?
There was no need to talk about Heaven Seizing Cultivation Technique; he was covered in a river of stars!
At this moment, Li Ran's entire body was glowing with light. His qi and blood surged like a great river, surging endlessly in his body.
He refused to back down.
"Li Ran…"
Xiao Qingge looked at his back and gently bit her lips. Mist filled her eyes.
Feng Wanjiang looked at Li Ran, his heart trembling.
He knew that this Devil Sheng Zi was powerful, but he never expected him to be this strong!
It was one thing to crush him with a pure cultivation base, but this boundless Buddhist qi, the surging qi and vigor in blood… It was simply terrifying!
What a monster! He sighed in admiration.
A trace of surprise flashed through Elder Wu's eyes. "You're cultivating both Buddhism and martial arts?"
Even though this Buddhist qi wasn't considered vast in his eyes, it was still extremely pure. It was as though he was an accomplished monk that had been consecrated for hundreds of years before Buddha!
The faint blood energy on Li Ran's body looked somewhat familiar as if it was…
"The Blood Demon Emperor's bloodline?"
However, what shocked him the most was the ancient golden seal that spread out from his collar, releasing an aura from the ancient era.
Even if he looked carefully, his heart couldn't help but palpitate!
"How many fortuitous encounters does this guy have? He's not even twenty years old. How could he have such a deep foundation!"
This was no longer a problem that could be explained by talent!
"In time, this kid will suppress tens of thousands of sects!" Elder Wu's heart trembled.
He frowned as he looked at Li Ran, his eyes shifting as if he were weighing something.
He was not only restless, but also apprehensive and fearful.
"Does Sheng Zi Li know what he's talking about? The Supreme Dao Palace is a supreme sect of the Righteous Path. How could you dare to say that they were incompetent?"
Li Ran sneered, "Isn't it a sign of incompetence for an elder at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm to come to an ordinary aristocratic family to show off, threaten, and lure them away?"
Elder Wu's expression did not change. "Xiao Qingge is a disciple of my Supreme Dao Palace. This old man is merely performing his duties."
"She's no longer a disciple of the Supreme Dao Palace!" Li Ran said coldly, "A disciple lost her cultivation and was kicked out without hesitation. Did you all fulfill your sect's responsibility?"
"Now that she's recovered, she's become a disciple of your Supreme Dao Palace? Truly laughable!"
Elder Wu narrowed his eyes. "What does that mean?"
Li Ran replied, "What I mean is, you can go back and forth wherever she wants to go. Xiao Qingge doesn't want to go to the Supreme Dao Palace, so no one can force her!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became murderous.
The members of the Xiao Family were sweating.
The other side was a Heavenly Tribulation mighty figure. A single hand could flatten the Xiao Family!
Elder Wu's black robe fluttered in the wind, and his voice was as cold as the cold wind. "It seems that you think that I won't dare to touch you, Sheng Zi Li!"
The air in the hall was heavy, and a powerful pressure spread out. Everyone's faces were pale, as if a large stone was pressing down on them.
As for Li Ran, he was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. His chest felt suffocated, and even his breathing became difficult.
But he was still unwilling to give in.
"Ha," Elder Wu laughed in anger. "A mere Nascent Soul child, do you think you can stop me?"
He waved his sleeve and immense pressure spread out.
Li Ran's qi was instantly sealed, and even his surging qi and blood were suppressed. He was frozen in place like a statue, unable to lift a single finger.
He could only watch as Elder Wu walked towards Xiao Qingge.
Seeing that Xiao Qingge was about to fall into the other party's hands, Li Ran's heart burned with anxiety.
He activated the Heaven Seizing Technique to its limit and tried his best to break through the restriction.
A golden light flashed in his hand as a Buddha's bone fell into his palm.
He crushed it.
Boundless Buddhist qi immediately surged out, finally allowing him to obtain a sliver of space.
However, Li Ran didn't make a move. Instead, he gathered all of his Buddhist power and roared a few words.
"Old Li, if you don't make a move, your granddaughter-in-law will be taken away!"
Accompanied by the faint voice, a furious roar resounded through the sky.
Under Li Ran's control, heavy echoes rolled towards the sky above the Li Residence!
"Old Li, Old Li…"
Li Wuqiang, who was taking a nap in the secret realm, quivered. "Who? Who is calling this daddy?"
He furrowed his brows and sensed it for a moment before immediately waking up.
"How dare you bully my grandson?!"
Elder Wu was taken aback for a moment before bursting out in laughter, "Sheng Zi Li, you've put in so much effort to shout out like this? Hahaha!"
Li Ran glared at him without saying anything.
Elder Wu says arrogantly, "I am at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm! As long as it wasn't an Emperor, who would be able to stop this old man?"
After saying that, he reached out to grab Xiao Qingge.
But just as he was about to touch her, a sizeable blood-red hand appeared in the air and slapped him into the ground!
Li Wuqiang's displeased voice rang out. "A mere trash who is in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, yet he dares to bully my grandson?"
Elder Wu was stunned.
"Emperor-level expert? How is this possible?!"
Li Ran had already regained his freedom. He shook his head and said, "Didn't you find out before coming? Do you think my Li family is a pushover?"
"Li Family?"
"It's Li Wuqiang! Binding Mad Devil Li Wuqiang, he was still alive?!"
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
Li Ran looked at him sympathetically.
Then, his blood-red hand slammed down like a madman. The entire Xiao Family seemed to have experienced a magnitude eighteen earthquake!
Li Wuqiang's exasperated voice echoed in the air. "Who allowed you to give me a nickname?"
"What Binding Mad Devil? I'm called the Prison Lock Mad Dragon!"
"Of course, I'm not dead, and I'll live longer than you!"
Elder Wu couldn't move at all.
Like a tree stump, he was forcefully smashed into the ground, only his head exposed. At this moment, his nose was bruised and his face swollen, and his hair was disheveled. He didn't look like a Heavenly Tribulation expert at all.
Li Ran covered his face.
Did everyone already know about Old Li's black history… When Feng Wanjiang saw this, he couldn't help but feel his heartbreak!
Other than Leng Wuyan, did Li Ran have an Emperor-level expert to support him?
Who the f*ck are you playing with!
He swallowed his saliva and turned around to sneak away.
He looked up, and his face turned ashen. "Li… Sheng Zi Li…"
Li Ran looked at him from high up. He clenched his fists and let out a series of crackling sounds. His smile was very bright.
"Don't rush off. You were playing with them. Play with us."
