Lu Tianyou's body fell from the sky to the ground.
Yan Qing stared at Zhang Bairen, who had no expression on his face, and gripped the spiritual energy crossbow that was already fully drawn.
"Yan Qing, this branch of the spirit locust tree is truly a wonderful thing."
"Now, are you confident you can defeat that brat's guardian spirit?" Lu Tianyou asked.
Holding the crossbow, Yan Qing replied respectfully, "Young Master, the opponent is unfathomable. Even if we become stronger, we may not be able to defeat him."
I think we should retreat first. I should be able to protect the young master and leave Rakshasa Street now.
Lu Tianyou frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Yan Qing's answer.
"Yan Qing, don't you have any confidence?"
To make Lu Tianyou realize the seriousness of the problem, Yan Qing's tone became more serious.
"Young Master, I really don't have confidence."
"Even though I've already eaten the spirit locust tree branch, do I still lack confidence?" Lu Tianyou's tone was clearly extremely unwilling.
Yan Qing shook his head slightly in response to Lu Tianyou, who was clenching his fists.
"Yan Qing, how will you know if you don't try?"
Anyway, I am now a Soul Guardian appointed by the Spirit Realm. Even if we are defeated, that brat won't dare to kill anyone.
"You must know that in the Spirit Realm, killing a Soul Suppressor is a serious crime!" Lu Tianyou's tone gradually became excited.
"Young Master!" Yan Qing's tone became very nervous.
Whoosh!
Zhang Bairen's figure instantly traversed hundreds of meters and arrived in front of Lu Tianyou.
"Fine, since you're unwilling to accept this and still cling to a sliver of hope, then go die."
Zhang Bairen's voice sent a chill down Lu Tianyou's spine.
"Yan Qing, run! Get me out of here!!"
At this point, Lu Tianyou panicked.
All the resentment and wishful thinking I felt just moments ago have vanished.
"Young Master, run! I'll cover you!!" Yan Qing fired a crossbow bolt, but it was easily shattered by a golden light.
"Heaven and Earth are the origin of all things, and the root of all Qi."
Through countless eons of cultivation, I will prove my supernatural powers.
Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme.
My body is bathed in golden light, which illuminates me.
······”
This is the Golden Light Mantra, one of Zhang Tianshi's commonly used techniques.
The golden light transformed into a bolt of lightning, shattering Yan Qing's crossbow bolt and binding his body.
Lu Tianyou fled in panic, completely ignoring his guardian spirit.
After being trapped, Yan Qing unleashed his full spiritual power, not to break free from the golden light's restraints, but to distract Zhang Tianshi and give Lu Tianyou a chance to escape.

"Young master, run!!"
Yan Qing was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and could only shout out from within the golden light.
Looking at the entrance to Rakshasa Street that was right in front of him, Lu Tianyou's eyes revealed the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.
Cao Yanbing sighed softly, "This prodigal son Yan Qing is also a man of great stature."
Unfortunately, it followed the wrong master.
"Yes, seeing this scene before me, I am so fortunate to be able to follow my lord and conquer the world once again," Yu Jin said with emotion.
"Master Zhang, should I step in and stop Lu Tianyou?" Cao Yanbing asked.
Zhang Bairen gently shook his head, indicating that he did not need to intervene.
"No need. Master Zhang is kind-hearted and unwilling to kill anyone."
"Therefore, I assigned the task of killing Lu Tianyou to a more suitable candidate," Zhang Bairen explained.
As the entrance to Zhenhun Street drew ever closer, Lu Tianyou stretched out his palms and jumped up, trying to get through the barrier as quickly as possible.
However, a kind-faced old man with a white beard suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Young friend, where are you headed?" the white-bearded old man asked with a smile.
At this moment, Lu Tianyou discovered that his body was actually suspended in mid-air.
He tried to struggle, but felt a tearing pain.
It turned out that Lu Tianyou's body was covered with layers of white dust.
Zhang Bairen strode over and walked up to Lu Tianyou.
"Soul Suppressor General, can't we kill him?" Zhang Bairen asked.
"I...I was wrong, please spare my life, you can be the Soul Guardian of Rakshasa Street!" Lu Tianyou pleaded.
Zhang Bairen lowered his head and replied gently, "This Rakshasa Street originally belonged to me."
Furthermore, if I were weak, I doubt you would spare my life anyway.
So, may you rest in peace.
After Zhang Bairen finished speaking, he gestured with his eyes.
Li Changgeng stretched out his palm and inserted it into Lu Tianyou's body. As spiritual energy surged, he pulled out a jade-green general's chain from Lu Tianyou's body.
As a trusted confidant of the Jade Emperor, the war god Taibai Jinxing, with a kind face, has always been reliable, steady, and thorough in his work.
This green chain is the token of the Soul Guardian of the Spirit Realm.
If it can be extracted, Lu Tianyou can be killed without being detected by the Spirit Realm.
This way, a lot of trouble is avoided.
Venus has never disappointed Zhang Bairen when it comes to doing things.
As the general's chain was pulled out, a look of despair appeared on Lu Tianyou's face.
He stopped pleading, but he was still trembling all over.
Fear of death is something that no human being can avoid, especially for scum like Lu Tianyou.
"Let's get started."
As the order was given, Li Changgeng tightened the dust, turning the bound Lu Tianyou into white particles.
Within the Golden Light Mantra, Yan Qing, who sensed the death of the spirit host, was also gradually dissipating.
His face showed neither sadness nor anger, only a sense of helplessness and acceptance.
He had long anticipated this outcome.
But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
With the death of the spirit host, the guardian spirit dissipated as well. Yu Jin's eyes widened, and he muttered in disbelief, "Another Immortal Martial Spirit? How is this possible? Could it be that this young man possesses that legendary physique?!"
"Yu Jin, what's wrong?" Cao Yanbing asked.
"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, this person possesses the legendary Martial God Body!" Yu Jin replied.
"The Martial God Body?" Cao Yanbing's tone sounded very puzzled.
“It means I can summon multiple guardian spirits. You, my younger brother, also have the same physique as me,” Zhang Bairen replied.
"What!? My brother also possesses the Martial God Body!?" Cao Yanbing asked in disbelief.
"That's right, the reason he can't summon his guardian spirit is because he possesses the body of a martial god."
"Alright, the battle is over, and your question has been answered. Remember this favor, and you can leave my Rakshasa Street now." Zhang Bairen finished speaking and then added.
"Of course, if you two brothers are willing to become my subordinates, then I don't mind keeping you both here." After Zhang Bairen finished speaking, he didn't wait for a response, but walked directly to the spirit Xiaorou, took her hand, and walked towards the spirit locust tree.
Cao Yanbing watched Zhang Bairen's retreating figure, a burning flame igniting in his eyes.
"So, you already know the answer?"
"That's right, you're not the only one who wants to become king!" Cao Yanbing muttered to himself.
