Chapter 125: Demonic Arts Kaleidoscope

Chapter 125: Demonic Arts Kaleidoscope

"There's a shelter over there!" Wei Hu shouted.

"Let's go!" Sun Zhengfang made a quick decision and signaled for the squad to move out.

Wei Long carried Lu Ran as they flew, and amidst the sound of wind and rain, he heard Lu Ran's heavy sigh.

"Casualties are inevitable," Wei Long said in a low voice.

Even the cold-hearted Demon Seclusion Sect followers couldn't help but feel moved by the humiliation and injuries their comrades had suffered.

Wei Long didn't know that Lu Ran sighed because two of the four Moonlight Gazers rescued by the squad had died.

Lu Ran witnessed two souls emerge from the phoenix branches.

The young man and woman, severely injured, died in their unconscious state, their faces still filled with bewilderment as their souls floated away.

Lu Ran, feeling helpless, silently collected their souls into his eyes, escorting them on their final journey.

"Open the door!"

Deng Yuxiang took the lead and landed in front of a commercial building.

The building's doors were wide open, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

The Moonlight Gazers guarding the shelter saw the patrol team, dusty and tired, and knew what was wrapped within the phoenix branches.

Two Green Phoenix Believers quickly came forward to treat the wounded.

Sun Zhengfang gave another order, "Lu Ran, stay here. We're leaving!"

"Uncle Sun?" Lu Ran furrowed his brows, his voice firm, "I can do it!"

The crowd inside the building turned to look at Lu Ran.

Some recognized him, and even those who didn't could tell that he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old student.

Although the boy held two valuable and imposing blades, his face still carried a hint of youthfulness.

On this night of the Savage Desolate Clan's "Ghost Parade," it seemed overly audacious for such a young person to be with the Moonlight Gazers' patrol team.

Sun Zhengfang took a big step towards the door, "Your task for tonight ends here!"

Lu Ran suddenly raised his voice, "You know how important I am to the squad!

Your team wasn't originally configured like this; Wei Hu adjusted it because of me.

If I leave, your weaknesses will become more apparent!"

Sun Zhengfang abruptly stopped in his tracks.

For a moment, the area inside and outside the door became even quieter.

Even those who didn't know Lu Ran understood that this yellow-robed youth was originally a member of the patrol team.

The Divine Citizen Bureau of Yunshan City had specifically adjusted the team for him.

"Don't be foolish," Deng Yuxiang said softly, placing a hand on Lu Ran's head.

"Crack!"

The Night Silence Blade fell to the ground.

Lu Ran's freed right hand grabbed Deng Yuxiang's icy hand, "I'll come with you to support Rain Alley Home Community.

After the mission, if you still want to leave me behind, you don't have to force me; I'll go home myself."

Deng Yuxiang remained silent, looking at Lu Ran's cold and chilling heterochromatic eyes.

She glanced at her own hand.

The Stream Realm's small fry had considerable strength, but her hand hurt a little from his grip.

"Take him with you, Squad Leader Sun."

"Yes, Squad Leader Sun, he's the tactical core, restraining the Savage Desolate Clan!" The Wei brothers spoke in unison.

These two Demon Seclusion Sect followers had very consistent ideas.

Lu Ran stared directly into the Great Nightmare's eyes, "Sister?"

Deng Yuxiang neither agreed nor disagreed, but turned to look at Sun Zhengfang, "We don't have time to waste."

"Let's go!" Sun Zhengfang clenched his teeth, stomped his feet, and strode out of the door.

Deng Yuxiang bent down to pick up the Night Silence Blade and stuffed it into Lu Ran's embrace.

She took a deep look at Lu Ran and turned to leave.

Obviously, she and Sun Zhengfang both had conflicting feelings.

On the 15th of last month, Deng Yuxiang had indeed sought Lu Ran's help.

But a Yin Huadan at the Fifth Stage of the River Realm couldn't be compared to the Savage Desolate Clan's Ghost Parade.

"Let's go!" Lu Ran quickly walked over to Wei Long.

The Moonlight Gazers inside and outside the door watched as the boy's figure left with the team, their feelings growing more complicated.

Over the past few decades, amidst the continuous warfare, many extraordinary geniuses had emerged.

Some rose to prominence, only to be tempered by the flames of war and become great generals.

Some met an untimely end, their bones long turned to dust in their tombs.

Regardless of their fate, most of them shared a common trait: they were born leaders.

These individuals were the strong hearts of the fragile human clan.

They were the flags that tried to stand tall amidst the chilling winds stirred up by demons.

The human clan's power, which had endured to this day amid the turbulent winds, owed much to generations of such vividly distinct individuals who had followed in each other's footsteps.

Regarding the yellow-robed boy's stubborn decision, the Moonlight Gazers could only admire and bless him; they had no right to say more.

At this moment, Lu Ran, carried by Wei Long, was also rapidly approaching his home.

The Devastated Area!

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed.

At the entrance to the community, piles of yellow sand had accumulated.

Explosions, roars, and the Savage Desolate Demoness's wild laughter continuously echoed from within the community.

"Forward, target the community entrance!" Sun Zhengfang shouted.

There were many demons inside the community, but even more Moonlight Gazers!

Various divine arts were being used, to the point of obscuring people's vision.

And those floating human souls stubbornly lingered on the battlefield.

Some accompanied their comrades-in-arms in battle, while others continued to fight with the souls of the Savage Desolate Demoness in the afterlife.

Both parties were now souls, no longer posing a threat to each other.

But the battle between humans and demons continued.

Lu Ran observed another dimension, witnessing a battlefield unseen by others.

It was like watching an incredibly surreal nightmare projection.

"Damn it, you're laughing at your grandmother!"

Inside the community gate, in the left area, a Red Scarf Warrior shouted and raised a large flag.

Having just beheaded an enemy, he swiftly targeted a Savage Desolate Demoness.

The flag stood tall and steady, and a red canopy suddenly opened.

"Don't scream, I'm coming!"

Chen Jing's dual blades glowed with red light, and his roar was full of vigor as he charged at the Savage Desolate Demoness.

This was the correct way to unleash the Red Scarf Technique: Crimson Veil Domain!

The battlefield was chaotic, but no matter how chaotic it was, the Red Scarf Follower could still create a special one-on-one duel arena.

A life-and-death battle, a 1V1 duel!

"Hahahaha!"

The Savage Desolate Demoness stood fearless, wielding a pair of sandstone axes, and she indeed had the capital to be so arrogant, as her martial arts were truly exceptional.

Her sandstone armor was tattered, exposing her skin, which was covered in wounds and dripping with blood.

But the Savage Desolate Demoness didn't care; after a hearty laugh, she even licked her torn lips, tasting the flavor of blood.

Whose blood it was didn't matter.

She liked it,

She loved it.

And Chen Jing, who was wrapped in a red scarf and bare-chested, was also covered in wounds.

The water armor covering his body had even transformed into a "blood water armor."

It was evident that both of them had suffered severe injuries before entering the 1V1 duel.

"Ding!!"

The Savage Desolate Demoness suddenly swung her battle axe, clashing with Chen Jing's downward-chopping blade.

"Damn it."

Chen Jing's face contorted, feeling a tingling sensation in his palm, almost losing his grip on the blade.

As a berserker, Chen Jing had already activated the Red Scarf Soul technique, channeling the power of the Red Scarf Ancestor.

Despite the surge in various attributes, his strength still seemed inferior to that of the Savage Desolate Demoness?

Savage Desolate Clan's Demonic Art: Savage Power!

Unlike other techniques with 'Power' in their names that enhance strength attributes,

When the Savage Desolate Clan activates Savage Power, the surge in their strength attributes doesn't just come from the energy fluctuations within their bodies.

It also comes from the very ground beneath their feet!

When Lu Ran first encountered the Savage Desolate Demoness, Deng Yuxiang used storms to disrupt the enemy, while the Savage Desolate Demoness stood firmly in the wind, relying on this demonic art.

"Boom!"

The Savage Desolate Demoness swung one axe upward and brought the other down with force.

Yellow sand flew, the ground tore open, and a wave of energy surged.

Savage Desolate Clan's Demonic Art: Savage Rift!

"Pfft!"

Chen Jing spat out blood, the surging wave of energy hit him in the face, shaking his internal organs.

What a powerful Savage Desolate Demoness.

"Crack!" A sound of breaking.

The flagpole shattered as Chen Jing flew backward, and the red canopy quickly disappeared.

"Hahahahaha!" The Savage Desolate Demoness laughed wildly, showing no mercy.

She stomped heavily and chased after Chen Jing's flying body, surging forward.

Suddenly, blood-colored chains emerged, blocking her path.

But the Savage Desolate Demoness's powerful body shattered them.

Another blood chain net woven from blood chains blocked her pursuit.

She swung her axes and shattered it as well.

The Savage Desolate Demoness's wildness and ferocity intensified, as if she had singled out Chen Jing.

How dare this pathetic thing challenge me to a duel?

I will kill you!

I will turn you into mincemeat!

"Meeh."

A faint sheep's bleat suddenly came from the side.

"Hmm?" The Savage Desolate Demoness's eyes widened.

Instinctively, she turned and swung her axe toward the direction of the sound.

Lu Ran, who had been rapidly moving, instantly teleported, appearing behind the enemy.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The Yellow-Clothed Youth and the Savage Desolate Demoness moved in perfect unison! Facing each other, they both bent their legs, leaned forward, and slid backward, slowing down their charge.

"Lu Ran?!"

Wei Long, who was protecting Lu Ran, and Deng Yuxiang, who was paying special attention to Lu Ran from the night sky, both had their faces change.

At the community gate, there were four battle groups.

This was why Lu Ran hadn't dared to shout earlier.

And under the Red Scarf Follower's domain, the squad's primary support target was naturally chosen from the other three battle groups.

Only Lu Ran had immediately focused on Chen Jing, his mind solely on him.

Everyone knew how reckless the Red Scarf Followers were.

Lu Ran had personally witnessed Chen Jing and the Fierce-Faced Man's battle, where they exchanged injuries and fought to the death.

When the flagpole shattered, Lu Ran immediately rushed out.

By the time Wei Long reacted, the 'Loach,' who had been sliding, had already charged into the community, attracting the Savage Desolate Demoness's attention and switching positions with her.

"Sss!"

Energy surged in the Savage Desolate Demoness's palm, and she gripped two sandstone axes.

She slid backward without waiting to stabilize, then forcefully threw the sandstone axes.

This time, Lu Ran didn't dodge left or right.

He didn't retreat, instead, he faced the Savage Desolate Demoness, and his Immortal Hoof rose beneath him.

He charged forward!

The comparison of a fledgling returning to its nest could only describe the size difference between the two.

The most fitting term for this scene should be a moth flying into a flame, seeking its own demise.

"Ssss—"

Mist surged, and the tail of the raincoat flapped in the wind, making a loud rustling sound.

The Savage Desolate Demoness widened her eyes, predicting the enemy's sliding position and then swinging her two stone axes.

Lu Ran suddenly lunged forward and ducked, causing the two stone axes to fly over his head.

"Mee."

Lu Ran abruptly raised his head.

A pair of cold, piercing eyes locked with the crimson eyes, staring intently! Behind the dark pupils, a faint, smoldering black flame burned.

Black Lantern Demonic Art: Cage of Fire!

"Sss!" The Savage Desolate Demoness was filled with rage, and in her vision, a constantly flickering and rapidly changing scene appeared.

Lu Ran's face turned gloomy as he darted through the air at high speed.

The Savage Desolate Demoness didn't know what was happening to her. The more she tried to see the enemy clearly, the more the scene in front of her flickered.

"Sss!!" The Savage Desolate Demoness didn't care; the energy in her hands surged, and she summoned the stone axes first.

"Bang!"

Lu Ran, who was crawling forward close to the ground, suddenly stomped his foot heavily.

The ground trembled, and a wave of energy surged.

Soul Splitting Technique: Soul Shattering Demon Hoof!

The sudden powerful impact caused the Savage Desolate Demoness's sliding momentum to abruptly accelerate.

Even the stone axes she had summoned at her side suddenly malfunctioned and failed to land in her palm.

Wanting to grab a weapon?

Did she ask the Soul Shattering Demon's hooves?

"Mee." Lu Ran slightly opened his mouth.

That mournful cry was so faint, indicating the fragility and vulnerability of the young one.

However, where was the slightest hint of weakness in Lu Ran's sinister appearance?

"Ahhhh!" The Savage Desolate Demoness was almost insane, relying on her intuition, reaching out to the empty space in front of her.

Lu Ran suddenly sidestepped, agile and swift.

Evil Dog Technique: Evil Agility!

The Savage Desolate Demoness's large hand brushed past Lu Ran's chest.

Wanting to grab me...

Would the Evil Dog Clan agree?

"Silence!"

Lu Ran held the Night Silence Blade in his hand and stabbed the Savage Desolate Demoness's waist and abdomen from below.

A surge of energy boiled within him, and divine power surged through his body. He slashed horizontally with his right hand!

Soul Splitting Technique: Soul Splitting Power!

"Sss!"

A stream of blood sprayed from the Savage Desolate Demoness's waist.

In the midst of excruciating pain, the Savage Desolate Demoness fiercely grabbed at her front.

She seemed to want to embrace the tiny Human Clan member who was "invisible" and crush him to pieces.

But Lu Ran seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; he suddenly squatted.

Evil Dog Technique: Evil Insight!

The Savage Desolate Demoness swung her hand, and Lu Ran seamlessly connected and stood up abruptly.

The Radiant Blade held tightly in his left hand was swung out, forming a half-moon arc! With the power of Soul Splitting Power, the blade passed through the Savage Desolate Demoness's neck in a flash.

"Whoosh~"

The blade sliced into the flesh, and the head was severed.

"Damn it!!"

Wei Long stared at this scene in shock, his heart filled with indescribable horror.

Deng Yuxiang's face also showed astonishment, and she was both anxious and angry. In an instant, she had received such a result.

The surrounding Moon Gazer soldiers who had been secretly observing had their expressions change.

The figure holding two blades and wearing a yellow raincoat...

From a disobedient youth, he had suddenly transformed into a ruthless killer on the battlefield!

"Good!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!"

In this battle, Lu Ran's speed was so fast that even at this moment, the headless corpse of the Savage Desolate Demoness was still sliding!

This...?

Lu Ran's growth rate was indeed shockingly fast.

Initially, even seeing the soul of the Savage Desolate Demoness would scare him witless.

The Savage Desolate Demoness's ferocity truly made his heart tremble.

The second time, when Lu Ran encountered the Savage Desolate Demoness again, he had already broken through his inner fears.

He used the Cage of Fire, assisted by the Voice of Despair, to help Deng Yuxiang defeat the enemy with a single move! The third time, which was this time.

When Lu Ran faced the Savage Desolate Demoness, he confronted her head-on!

More red-veiled than the Red Veil!

Throughout this journey, Lu Ran had personally witnessed the Savage Desolate Demoness's demonic techniques and read about this clan's combat style.

Now, he had picked up the two blades again!

The demonic techniques poured out, controlling the Savage Desolate Demoness from start to finish.

And he killed her from start to finish!

"Plop."

The sliding headless corpse finally fell to the ground, sliding to Chen Jing's feet.

Blood trickled from the corner of Chen Jing's mouth as he sat on the cold ground, abruptly raising his head.

He saw a familiar figure sliding in front of him.

The same rainy night, the same face, the same brightly colored yellow raincoat...

Everything was so familiar,

Like the flashing lights experienced when on the verge of death.

But Chen Jing was certain he wasn't dead.

Chen Jing was even more certain that the youth was still as punchable, saying the same words as when they first met:

"Uncle, don't be so reckless next time."
