Chapter 120: Jealousy
Chapter 120: Jealousy
As night fell, Lu Ran followed his squad and walked on an old-looking pedestrian bridge near the West River Park.
In the distance, the park gate was dimly lit and desolate, causing a chill to rise in Lu Ran's heart.
It would have been better to keep the lights off! In complete darkness, it wouldn't have been as eerie as it felt at this moment.
During this night patrol, the squad was once again assigned to the West River area, but compared to the 15th of July, their patrol area was slightly larger.
"What's wrong?" Wei Long placed a hand on Lu Ran's left shoulder.
"Any trouble?" Wei Hu's hand rested on Lu Ran's right shoulder.
Only Lu Ran could receive such concern from these two cold-hearted Demon Shackling Chain disciples.
If it were any other student, they would have already been kicked in the butt by the Demon Shackling Chain believers and told to "get moving."
"No problem." Lu Ran quickly shook his head, his voice growing softer, "I'm just a little nervous."
The reaction of the Dragon and Tiger guards was unanimous, as they both smiled and shook their heads.
It was rare to hear such honest words in a serious department like the Divine Citizen Bureau.
Facing the night of the 15th, especially with a powerful human expert traveling a long distance to specifically guard the night, who wouldn't feel a sense of dread?
Every living being in the city, without exception, wondered if they would see the sun tomorrow.
"Let's go." Wei Long patted Lu Ran's shoulder.
Lu Ran descended the dilapidated footbridge, and the Great Nightmare took the lead, standing at the park entrance, gazing at the empty park.
Her expression suddenly became a bit strange.
In the distance, on the lawn, she vaguely saw a tall and slender figure.
The figure was over two meters tall and was entirely woven from straw.
Malevolent Spirit·Straw Demon?
"Shh!" Deng Yuxiang whistled and casually waved her hand.
Eight consecutive wind blades flew out, piercing the cold rain and directly attacking the demon.
Northwind Divine Art·Flying Wind Command! So, the demon invasion had already begun?
However, this Straw Demon, which was the first to appear, didn't seem very intelligent.
It was unclear how long it had been standing in the grass, but no one had noticed it, and it just stood there, looking dumbfounded.
"Ssss! Ssss!"
The blade easily tore through the straw, gutting the demon.
The foolish Straw Demon shattered into mist and disappeared without a trace.
Deng Yuxiang couldn't help but recall the morning when Lu Ran said she looked like a Straw Demon.
"Has it started?" Lu Ran quickly approached and looked into the park.
"Hmph." Deng Yuxiang coldly glanced at Lu Ran, then strode forward with long strides.
Lu Ran: ???
What's with the glare?
It was baffling; you'll have to wait thirty years for an explanation.
"Near West River Park!"
Suddenly, a man's voice came through the hidden earpiece.
"Squad 004 is at the park entrance!" At the back of the team, Sun Zhengfang quickly responded, his hand on his ear.
"On the eastern shore of the artificial lake in the park, at the boat dock, there's a Night Succubus roaming around, estimated to be a River Realm Third Stage!"
"Yes!" Sun Zhengfang had already started running, "Let's go!"
For the higher-ups to specifically look for a squad and order everyone to support them, the battlefield must be of a high level.
If it were a Mist Realm or Stream Realm demon, the Moonlight Division wouldn't need to request backup.
"Huff~"
Deng Yuxiang soared high, overlooking the West River Park.
Behind her, the Dragon and Tiger guards, each wearing a blood-red robe, flew up, one carrying Lu Ran and the other carrying Sun Zhengfang.
Yes, after the Divine Art·Blood Slaughter Robe was upgraded to the River Realm, it gained the ability to fly.
The group flew towards the artificial lake, and as they drew closer, Lu Ran's eyes narrowed slightly.
With the help of the Evil Art·Evil Perception, he could see clearly in the darkness.
At the dock, there was a black-sailed pleasure boat.
A black-clad woman with a graceful figure stood at the bow, wearing a straw hat and a black veil that fluttered in the wind.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~!"
Deng Yuxiang, who was flying in front, had already thrown out eight wind blades!
Her decisive action was expected, but at this moment, her expression was particularly somber.
The human and divine races were in a life-and-death opposition to the demon race.
And in this life-and-death opposition, there was an even deeper layer of hatred between mortal enemies!
The Deity Celestial Sheep.
The Night Succubus clan.
This pair was the one!
Both sides were often compared by the world due to their similar techniques and understanding of wind and blades.
This "competition" wasn't the issue; the key was at the divine level!
Every Northwind Follower would realize one thing during their growth—the Northwind Deity hated the Night Succubus clan!
His disciples were to kill any Night Succubus they encountered without mercy!
This sounded like nonsense.
After all, no matter what kind of believer you were, when encountering demons, you would naturally raise your butcher knife.
But for Northwind believers, if you killed a Night Succubus, you could go back and seek praise from the Deity!
As long as your battle records accumulated enough or the Night Succubus you killed was strong enough, you would receive the deity's blessing!
This was a completely different matter!
For Deng Yuxiang, killing a hundred Yin Huadan at the River Realm Fifth Stage wouldn't be as pleasing to the Northwind Deity as killing a single Night Succubus at the River Realm Fifth Stage.
"Hiss!"
The Night Succubus was also sensitive to the wind.
She immediately sensed the Northwind Follower.
The Night Succubus turned her head towards the night sky, ignoring the Moonlight Division team that was surrounding her.
From behind the mysterious black veil, a chilling scream emerged.
This scream made Lu Ran's scalp tingle! He had encountered Night Succubus before, but this clan was relatively quiet, only making sounds when they were desperate.
But at this moment, the Night Succubus had just seen Deng Yuxiang and let out such a piercing scream? It seemed that seeing an enemy made them jealous!
The Night Succubus clan also hated the Northwind Deity!
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
The Night Succubus also threw out eight single blades.
You have the Flying Wind Command, and I have the Night Succubus Blade!
In an instant, sixteen blades clashed in mid-air, fighting fiercely!
The Moonlight Division team on the shore breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with such terrifying demons, a slight misstep could mean death.
"Let's go, Brother Wei Long!" Lu Ran exclaimed urgently, "We'll go around the back, and I'll use my spell."
Without hesitation, Wei Long led Lu Ran to fly around the shore.
"Rise!" Deng Yuxiang shouted sternly, her palm reaching forward.
A tornado suddenly formed, lifting the black boat and the Night Succubus within, and they were all swept up into the wind.
Since the tornado formed on the lake's surface, it instantly transformed into a "water tornado."
Divine Art·Northern Gale Roar!
Lu Ran nodded inwardly, remembering how the powerful Yin Huadan had also been bound by this wind and couldn't escape. Hmm?
"Oh my." Lu Ran slightly opened his mouth, watching in disbelief as several shadows of the Night Succubus flashed one after another.
The Night Succubus split into three, with her main body transferring into one of the clones, and then splitting into three again! She actually used such a method to forcefully escape the water tornado?
Not only that, but the Night Succubus darted into the air behind her, with one hand extended forward.
"Huhuuu!!"
A fierce wind suddenly rose!
Northwind has the Divine Art·Northwind Roar, and the Night Succubus has the Evil Art of Night Wind Attack!
Unlike a tornado, the Night Succubus clan's control over the wind and waves is to make the strong wind blow forward, violently overturning everything in its path.
How fierce was this wind and wave? Deng Yuxiang's water tornado was on the verge of being blown apart!
"River Realm·Fifth Stage," Deng Yuxiang's face turned angry, as the fierce wind blew her back repeatedly.
Obviously, she had already determined the specific level of this Night Succubus from the intensity of her spell.
The next moment, Deng Yuxiang's feet were enveloped in a whirlwind, and with the help of the Divine Armament Night Slashing Blade, she quickly flew higher into the night sky.
Divine Art·Clear Wind Dance!
"Sss!" The Night Succubus stepped lightly in the air, her tall and slender figure closing in on Deng Yuxiang step by step in the night sky.
Evil Art·Night Seductive Dance!
High in the sky, two tall and graceful figures approached each other infinitely.
"Come!" Deng Yuxiang's eyes were sharp, and she squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth, her figure suddenly stopping.
Holding the Nightfall Blade, her figure darted diagonally downward, her yellow raincoat fluttering in the wind.
The tip of the Nightfall Blade dragged a long blade scar.
Divine Art·Waning Wind Scar!
Below the River Realm, within the scope of all the sect's spells, the strongest single-target killing technique!
No one else!
"Sss!" The Night Succubus screamed, charging diagonally into the sky, her black veil fluttering.
The Night Succubus Blade in her hand was slightly smaller in size, but the blade scar dragged by its tip was no shorter than Deng Yuxiang's!
Evil Art·Night Shadow Succubus Scar!
Regarding who is the strongest single-target killing technique, the Night Succubus clan has something to say!
People always say that the battlefield situation changes in the blink of an eye, but these two, one human and one demon, were so fast it was terrifying!
The scattered water tornado had already caused chaos on the shore, with broken boat parts flying everywhere.
But the real problem was that even without the crashing waves and debris, the crowd might not be able to keep up with the speed of the two.
The battlefield was opened in the night sky, where it was dimly lit.
Forget about participating in the battle, even as spectators, the crowd might not be able to see where the two were!
"Sss!"
"Die!" The human and the demon, each wielding their most prized blade scars, drew closer to each other amidst screams and shouts.
It was clear that these two, who seemed to be carved from the same mold, had already given it their all.
This blade,
Would not only decide victory or defeat but also life or death! No one dare be a coward!
"Vrrrr!"
Just before the two were about to determine the victor, the Night Succubus cheated! The dark and charming shadow suddenly trembled, splitting into three.
"Pfft!"
Deng Yuxiang's blade slashed through, and one of the Night Succubus was instantly shattered into mist.
The other two Night Succubus, taking advantage of their evil art's characteristics, had already appeared behind Deng Yuxiang when they flashed into view.
"Hmph." Deng Yuxiang let out a cold snort, as if she had anticipated this?
So, was this life-and-death battle between a human and a demon just an act? Indeed!
Whether it's a human or a demon, all women are liars.
Deng Yuxiang, who had experienced countless battles, was well aware of how cunning and treacherous the Night Succubus clan was.
Her blade's momentum didn't diminish, and her body spun, swinging the blade fiercely towards the rear.
And just before Deng Yuxiang turned, just as the Night Succubus split into three,
"Baa~~~"
Suddenly, a sheep's bleat disrupted the battlefield of two mortal enemies.
The Night Succubus on both sides behind Deng Yuxiang raised their Night Succubus Blades and trembled lightly in unison.
One of them couldn't help but turn her head to look behind her subconsciously.
Enemies meeting always made their eyes turn red.
The Night Succubus's heart was filled with cruelty and violence, which was the foundation for the rapid effectiveness of the Divine Art·Panic Sound.
"Blame yourself," Lu Ran muttered.
I may not have the ability to stop the boiling water, but.
I can definitely pour oil on the fire!
"Uh." Under the mysterious black veil, the Night Succubus might have seen the caster.
But it was only for a moment.
Because in the night sky, Deng Yuxiang turned and slashed horizontally, and the long Nightfall Blade had already transformed into a round disc!
"Pfft!" One Night Succubus shattered into mist.
"Crack!" The Night Succubus's clothes tore, emitting an extremely harsh sound.
Obviously, the Night Succubus had activated the Evil Art·Night Succubus Robe.
Unfortunately, this powerful defensive garment couldn't withstand the strongest single-target killing technique or the sharp Nightfall Blade.
The sound of the blade tearing through the air was equally harsh.
Wherever the Waning Wind Scar passed, there was death and no life!
"Huh~"
Deng Yuxiang flew backward, and her black hood revealed long black hair that brushed past her cheeks and danced forward.
What she could see was the Night Succubus she had cut in half at the waist.
What she didn't see but knew in her heart was that there was someone in the darkness who had been silently guarding her.
"Hmph," Deng Yuxiang said with a playful rebuke, but a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "You're exposed."
