Shopkeeper’s Betrayal and Han Li’s Counter

After extracting the soul, the shopkeeper betrays his helpers. He gives them boxes containing Thunder Attracting Pearls (引雷珠) linked to the remaining Five-Colored Lightning. The Yinrou Youth and Black-armored Man are struck down. Han Li, suspecting treachery, uses his Thunder Robe to contain the pearl's blast and dodges the lightning. He then destroys part of the copper pillar array to break the restriction, summons the Giant Ape Puppet to counter the shopkeeper-controlled Thunder Beast body, and fully reveals his powers (72 flying swords, Three-headed Six-armed Vajra Dharma Idol, etc.), creating a standoff.
