Chapter 105: Killing A Boundless Realm Expert, Visitors from the Holy Mountain

Hearing the Ren family clan leader mention that their Ancestral Patriarch was currently in seclusion, Leng Yanran hadn’t yet responded when Li Yurong, standing to the side, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Back then, she had personally witnessed the Ren family Ancestral Patriarch being killed — oh no, more accurately, “put to sleep” — by her master with a casual strike.

It was just that when the Ren family Ancestral Patriarch went to sleep, there was a bloody hole in his chest, making it clear his slumber wasn’t particularly peaceful.

“Hm?”

Upon hearing Li Yurong’s words, the three Boundless Realm experts of the Ren family all had their pupils shrink sharply.

Thinking back to how the Holy Mountain had also visited the Eastern Region at that time, the news of their Ancestral Patriarch’s fall couldn’t have been kept from them. Instantly, the trio understood what was going on.

It seemed their opponents dared to attack the Ren family because they already knew their Ancestral Patriarch had fallen!

However, even though the Ancestral Patriarch was gone, the Ren family wasn’t a soft target for just anyone to bully!

Otherwise, why would the Xiaoyao Palace, the Wang family, or even the Holy Mountain, after returning to the Eastern Region, avoid directly confronting the Ren family?

At most, they sought to offer benefits in exchange for secrecy, but they wouldn’t go so far as to completely turn against the Ren family!

“Those who are about to die needn’t say much.”

Leng Yanran cast a cold glance at the three Boundless Realm experts of the Ren family. From beginning to end, her heart remained completely unshaken.

She didn’t give the three a chance to speak further. Transforming into a streak of light, she charged forward again. Her God-Slaying Spear left a faint red afterimage in the air.

“Join forces to suppress her!”

Although the three from the Ren family were Boundless Realm experts, after witnessing Leng Yanran’s true strength, they no longer dared to underestimate her. All three attacked simultaneously, aiming to suppress her completely!

The combined full-force attack of three Boundless Realm experts was enough to obliterate even a mountain!

Moreover, this time, the three of them locked onto Leng Yanran’s aura to guard against her unpredictable movement techniques.

Seeing this, Li Yurong couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

“Sacred Dragon Transformation!”

“Senior Sister, come toward me! I’ll help you block it!”

Worried that her senior sister wouldn’t be able to evade the locked-on attacks, Li Yurong immediately used her divine ability. A golden dragon phantom enveloped her body, and she was instantly clad in dragon-scale armor.

She charged toward her senior sister, intending to help block the attack, but it was ultimately too late!

Because…. Leng Yanran didn’t retreat even half a step. On the contrary, she charged directly into the terrifying attacks radiating immense power!

“Boom—!” The three attacks collided, completely enveloping Leng Yanran’s figure.

“Haha, in the end, she’s just a junior at the Unity Realm.”

“Under the combined strike of the three of us, even her body would’ve turned to ashes.”

“As for you, Saintess of the Holy Mountain, leave at once. The Ren family won’t trouble you. But if you persist, we’ll have no choice but to capture you and send you back to the Holy Mountain!”

Witnessing this, Li Yurong panicked.

If she hadn’t stood by earlier and had joined forces with her senior sister, this wouldn’t have happened!

Her heart filled with guilt and, soon after, with rage toward the Ren family.

Grinding her teeth, Li Yurong was about to rush forward and fight the three from the Ren family when her pupils suddenly shrank.

“Tsk—If your skills matched your boasting, I might not have been able to kill you.”

Leng Yanran’s figure appeared ghost-like behind one of the Ren family members.

Hearing her voice, the man was so terrified that he immediately tried to flee.

"Demonic Heaven Finger."

A cold voice sounded from behind, like the pronouncement of a death sentence. The Ren family elder felt his body lose all control, an ominous energy surging toward his back.

With a sharp “pfft”, his head was pierced by the malevolent energy of the Demonic Heaven Finger. His eyes, filled with empty terror, froze in the direction of the family clan leader.

“Activate the formation! Retreat, retreat inside the formation!”

The Ren family clan leader’s pupils contracted sharply at the scene. He couldn’t comprehend how, despite their three-pronged attack locking onto Leng Yanran’s aura, she had not only survived but had somehow appeared behind their fourth elder.

Even their spiritual sense couldn’t detect her movements!

At that moment, he finally understood: this girl wasn’t just capable of instantly killing Extinction Realm expert, a major realm higher than her, she's actually an unparalleled genius who is able to defeat a Boundless Realm expert, someone who is two major realms above her!

Even in the Eastern Region, Li Shenruo from the Holy Mountain, who was renowned for being able to defeat someone who is a major realm higher than her, is already one of the region most talented existence.

But someone who could defeat an opponent two major realms higher than her with ease and kill them before they can resist? Such a figure was unheard of. Perhaps only the holy sons and maidens of the Central Region, inheritors of immortal legacies, could achieve such feats.

The Ren family’s protective formation activated. The remaining two Boundless Realm experts hurried inside, keeping a constant eye on Leng Yanran, ready to defend against her assault or intrusion.

But Leng Yanran simply stood there, her gaze calm, showing no intention of pursuing them.

“Senior Sister, they’re hiding in their turtle shell. What should we do?”

Li Yurong approached her senior sister, scratching her head in confusion.

“This works just fine...”

Unexpectedly, Leng Yanran smiled. If all of them were hiding inside their grand formation, she wouldn’t have to waste any effort.

With a thought, she pulled out a portable Formation Disc.

It was a Heaven level offensive Formation Disc gifted to her by her master!

Inside the grand formation, the Ren family members grew tense upon hearing Leng Yanran’s words, wondering what kind of artifact she would take out to exude such confidence.

However, when they saw her pull out a simple, portable Formation Disc that appeared rather unimpressive, they immediately burst into laughter.

“Our Ren family’s grand formation is a low-grade Heaven level formation. When fully activated, it rivals a mid-grade Heaven level formation. What’s she planning to do with that little Disc?”

“Seems like this one has overwhelming strength but not much in the way of brains.”

“Hold out for just a bit longer. The Holy Mountain will arrive soon, so don’t worry.”

The Ren family patriarch relaxed upon seeing the Formation Disc, reassuring his people.

When he heard someone challenging them at their doorstep, he had immediately notified the Holy Mountain.

Though the Holy Mountain usually remained aloof in the Eastern Region, if a faction faced a crisis, they could request assistance. At the very least, the Holy Mountain’s intervention could mediate negotiations and prevent the weaker side from being annihilated.

Leng Yanran set the Formation Disc down, uncertain of its exact power but confident that any tool casually given by her master would have no trouble breaking the Ren family’s protective formation.

“Who dares act so arrogantly in the Eastern Region?”

Just as Leng Yanran was about to activate the Formation Disc, a voice rang out.

Everyone turned their heads to see two figures slowly descending through the clouds.

“Second Elder?”

“Over here, over here! Second Elder, come help me and Senior Sister smash these Ren family guys into mush!”

Li Yurong froze for a moment at the familiar voice. Turning to look, she saw it was indeed the Second Elder of the Holy Mountain. Excitedly, she waved and shouted.
