's important to know that Cardinals in the Divine Court hold a high and rare position. Reaching this level is incredibly difficult, and most Yellow-Robe Cardinals spend their entire lives without ever...The bald giant was startled, but it was too late to dodge. He was struck by the lightning bolt head-on.

Immediately afterward, a burnt smell filled the air. The bald man, who had been so menacing just moments ago, was now completely charred, emitting black smoke.

"Uh..."

Everyone was dumbfounded, frozen in shock. After all, that was a master at the early stage of the Heavenly Rank! Although his strength wasn't as good as Davis', he was undoubtedly a powerful figure among them.

This is exactly the kind of person who gets instantly killed by the other party without any ability to resist.

"How does it taste Good, right"

With a teasing voice, a big bearded man from China walked over, it was Xie Changsi, the Lei Hufa of the Longwang Palace.

Following Ye Bufan's arrangement, he had been secretly protecting Lu Banxia. Seeing that Rudolf and the others couldn't hold on any longer, he stepped forward in time to lend a hand.

"Who...who...are you"

Although Xie Changsi always wore a faint smile, Davis still felt unprecedented pressure, as if breathing had become less smooth.

Walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, he had never felt such immense pressure from anyone before.

"I'm the one who's come for your lives. You foreigners dare to lay a finger on Miss Lu It seems you've lived too long."

"Kid, I don't care who you are, we're the Brown family, you can't mess with us."

Davis spoke, while secretly making a gesture to another Heaven Tier powerhouse.

In his view, Xie Changsi, though powerful, was at most just a cultivator.

While spellcasters may be less physically capable than warriors, they excel in long-range combat. However, if attacked unexpectedly, this advantage is nullified.

That's exactly why he felt he had the other's attention, and that with a sudden attack his men could kill them.

Xie Changsi seemed to be utterly unaware of the other party's intentions. He didn't react at all even when another Heavenly Rank expert silently approached him from behind.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this, Rudolph quickly reminded him.

At this moment, the Tianjie expert's powerful punch had already arrived behind Xie Changsi.

Davis's lips curled into a sneer. Such speed, such proximity – this cultivator had no reason to survive.

...Xie Changsi glanced at him, a smile still playing on his lips, but it was filled with disdain. Just as the Tianjie master's fist came toward his heart, he suddenly turned around and struck back with a palm.

This palm carried a faint rumble of thunder, and at the same time, arcs of electricity like little snakes flowed from the palm, crackling with pops.

Due to his sudden speed, the man was startled and his fist and palm collided with a loud bang.

With a deafening boom, the man was flung backward like a sack. Even in mid-air, he had been completely reduced to ash by the lightning force of the Thunderclap Palm. He landed with a thud, utterly silent.

"Is this martial arts and cultivation"

Seeing this, Davis was immediately astonished. He never dreamed that the other party would be a master of both law and martial arts.

And their cultivation was exceptionally high, with any random item they pulled out capable of instantly obliterating me.

Having thought of this, he didn't hesitate any longer and turned to run.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, it would be a luxury to even just save one's life, let alone capture Lü Banxia alive.

"Want to run It's not that easy!"

Xie Changsi's mouth curled into a disdainful sneer. With a flick of his right hand, a bolt of lightning, as thick as an arm, struck from mid-air and landed squarely on Davis's back of the head.

With a deafening boom, another piece of charcoal appeared before everyone. The mid-Heaven Stage expert, Davis, was also killed in one move.

At once, the Browns’ party was struck with terror, their courage vanished like smoke. They turned and fled in all directions, scattering like startled birds, afraid that if they moved too slowly, they would be reduced to ashes.

Fortunately, Xie Changsi was too lazy to pay attention to these people and did not pursue them.

"Ms. Lu, are you alright"

He turned his head to look at Lu Banxia in the car.

"I'm fine."

Lu Banxia, having followed Ye Bufan for some time, was considered to have seen the world. Aside from a brief moment of panic at the beginning, she had now completely regained her composure.

"It's alright then, don't worry, with me here you won't be in any danger."

Xie Changsi's attitude towards Lu Banxia was very respectful. He knew the Dragon King's personality very well, with too many confidantes among women. He wasn't sure when this woman in front of him might become his mistress.

After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he vanished from everyone's sight.

"My God, he's actually a Saint Rank powerhouse."

Rudolf and the others couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Lu Banxia also felt a wave of emotion in his heart. He didn't expect Ye Bufan to have so many powerful people at his disposal.

At the same time, thinking that the other party had been sending people to secretly protect themselves, a warm feeling arose in their heart.

"Let's go back."

Lu Banxia handed the damaged Lincoln to his men, then got into Rudolph's SUV and drove towards the company.

They were back to normal on their side, but at the Brown family estate, Creston and Orlando sat facing each other, both seeing the despair in each other's eyes.

Just now they received a report from their subordinates that the operation was a complete failure because a powerful lightning wielder suddenly appeared beside Lu Banxia, and even Davis died at the hands of the opponent.

Both of them couldn't understand why Ye Bufan had so many powerful fighters under his command. They had already sent out all their forces, but they couldn't even defeat one woman from the other side.

But one thing is certain, the last plan failed, they are completely out of options.

The two looked at each other, unsure how long they had sat there. Orlando finally spoke, "Master, what should we do"

Kreston fell silent again for a long time, then said with difficulty to it: "There's no other way, we have to admit defeat."

Although he was reluctant, facing such a powerful opponent, he completely felt a sense of powerlessness.

He sighed again and said, "As a show of our sincerity, let us release Ye Bufan. Then we can negotiate with him directly."

As the head of the household, he was very clear about the current situation of both sides. Ye Bufan was in prison but controlled everything outside, while he was outside, but no different from a prisoner.

It's rather passive to seek negotiations with George at this point. Releasing Ye Bufan directly might leave a better impression on the other side.

Orlando nodded, though he had always called himself the old fox, he was now helpless.

A convicted criminal, Ye Bufan, lay comfortably on his bed in prison. The One-Eyed Dragon sat at his feet, diligently giving him a foot massage.

Above him stood a tall black man, giving him a shoulder massage. Two others were massaging his legs beside him.

"I'm telling you, don't just press randomly, okay Massaging has techniques, you need to find the pressure points, do you understand pressure points"

Ye Bufan kept pointing at the people around him, obviously dissatisfied with their performance.

And just then, a cacophony of footsteps echoed down the corridor. Warden Otto, flanked by several burly prison guards with bushy beards, led the way. Dozens of heavily armed guards followed closely behind, all marching towards them. unexpected happenShau Meiyun felt a little more at ease when she heard him say that.After thinking it over carefully, I had already determined that Luo Bingyan's strength was only at the early stage...
