Chapter 162: The Demon Named Laotian

Chapter 162: The Demon Named Laotian

The moonlight was cold, and the night was quiet and peaceful.

A team of four stood in front of the school building's entrance, silently awaiting the arrival of calamity.

"Shua~"

A crisp sound echoed, causing Lu Ran to turn his head.

He saw Chang Ying holding a wooden cylinder, shaking it back and forth.

The group remained silent, patiently waiting for the result.

With a "whoosh," a translucent spirit oracle flew out, hovering above their heads and slowly spinning.

A single large character was written on it—Down!

"Oh dear." Chang Ying immediately tossed the cylinder away, throwing it into the snow.

It was as if she hadn't drawn that oracle herself.

The problem was, at the school gate, you were the only spirit oracle believer.

Chang Ying looked at the others with a guilty expression, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "I'm just a Stream Realm believer, a novice, so my calculations might not be accurate."

The group: "..."

Lu Ran slowly raised his Jie Ye Sword.

Chang Ying pouted: "I just miscalculated, Ran, you wouldn't really kill me for this, would you?"

Interestingly, even with Lu Ran's sword hovering above her head, she didn't dodge?

Perhaps it was because Chang Ying trusted Lu Ran immensely.

Or maybe she knew that in front of Lu Ran, she had nowhere to escape.

In this world, only believers like those of Dongting and Northwind, who were Second Rank Gods, could match Lu Ran's speed.

This sounded quite magical! After all, Dongting and Northwind were both Second Rank Gods, while the Celestial Ram was the lowest-ranked Ninth Rank God.

"Pa~"

Lu Ran twisted his wrist, holding the sword horizontally, and gently tapped Chang Ying's head.

"Ouch." Chang Ying shrank her head and covered it with her hand.

Lu Ran said softly, "Next time, be more accurate."

His voice was gentle, as if it could melt the cold winter night.

"Mmm." Chang Ying nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, her obedient expression contrasting with her large frame.

In truth, everyone knew the oracle was likely accurate.

Lu Ran's actions were more like a consolation, giving Chang Ying a way out.

Tian Tian, standing nearby, watched this scene, a hint of envy rising in her eyes.

She wasn't usually mischievous, and her master's sword would probably never tap her head.

"Huff~"

Over twenty meters away, a surge of energy stirred, creating waves of wind.

Lu Ran immediately turned to look, was it finally beginning? On this night of the 15th day of the 12th lunar month, the one who started the battle for the demonic race was their old rival—the Bamboo Demon!

It wore a bamboo leaf cloak and a bamboo hat.

Its emerald green eyes shone eerily in the darkness, making it look particularly terrifying.

"Deng, go and come back quickly!" Tian Tian's demeanor changed, and she became a commander.

"Received!" Jade Tang was full of confidence and strode forward.

He was very familiar with this type of demon.

Sure enough! The seemingly terrifying Bamboo Demon couldn't even last two rounds against the Red Scarf believer's spear before its face was pierced!

"Puff~"

The Bamboo Demon's body shattered into mist, and its energy was absorbed into Jade Tang's divine energy orb.

During this process, cries and howls echoed throughout the city.

"Left front," Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

Jade Tang tightened his grip on the Tianchen Spear, and a red glow flashed at the spearhead, instinctively thrusting it to the left.

Red Scarf Divine Art: Red Blade Flash! The million-level Tianchen Spear was already sharp enough, and now with the "Armor-Piercing" effect, its power was astonishing!

"Crack!"

The spearhead, enveloped in red light, pierced through the Bamboo Demon's chest.

"Oh?" Jade Tang was surprised, why was it another Bamboo Demon? Could it be that tonight was a special event, a night when demons roamed? And the invading demonic race was the Bamboo Demon clan? That would be.too good!

Jade Tang had many thoughts, but his actions were swift.

He brandished his spear upwards, tearing the Bamboo Demon from its chest to its face.

Only the hat flew high into the air, then "Puff" disintegrated into mist in the night sky.

It was like setting off a small firecracker.

"Could it be that the Bamboo Demon clan is roaming the night?" Tian Tian clenched her small fists, also full of anticipation.

If that were true, then this would be a lucky draw!

"Huff!"

Suddenly, a surge of energy came from Jade Tang's right rear.

"Ha!" Due to their close proximity, Jade Tang didn't need anyone to remind him; he swiftly turned and swung his spear.

With the force to sweep through a thousand troops!

The spearhead, glowing red, left a curved arc of light in its wake, a beautiful sight.

"Smack!"

The indestructible Tianchen Spear was blocked.

Jade Tang was startled and instinctively tried to pull the spear, but it didn't budge!

A terrifying pressure enveloped Jade Tang's body, as if it would crush him.

As if it would crush him to pieces!

"Deng!"

"Be careful!" At the classroom door, the others' expressions changed.

Jade Tang's throat twitched as he looked up.

But as he looked up, he only saw the demon's muscular chest?

Jade Tang looked up again, his gaze moving upward.

He was about 1.85 meters tall, but in front of this demon, Jade Tang seemed like a small child.

As a hideous face came into view, Jade Tang's expression changed dramatically!

"Laotian Demon?"

This was a humanoid demon, resembling a fierce man.

He had a distinctive bald head, his body wrapped in chains, and was surrounded by black mist.

His upper body was bare, his skin dark as if forged from copper and iron! Even more distinctive was that from the moment he appeared, the Laotian Demon grew six extra arms!

Eight robust arms stretched out, each muscle knotting, and his claws were sharp.

At this moment, the Demon Naga was lowering its head, its scarlet eyes fixed intently on Jade Tang.

The oppressive feeling was overwhelming!

"Holy sht!"

Jade Tang was completely startled.

Since becoming a believer, he had never seen a Demon Naga with his own eyes.

And now, especially after dealing with two "cute" wooden puppets, suddenly seeing such a creature,

Who wouldn't be confused?

As Jade Tang cursed, his actions were swift. He struggled to retract his Sky Piercing Spear.

But how could a tiny human compete with the strength of a Demon Naga?

"Ssssss—"

"Baaa~~~" The sound of mist spraying accompanied a mournful wail.

"Hmm?" The Demon Naga suddenly turned its head, its scarlet eyes searching for the little lamb's figure.

Lu Ran deliberately lowered the grade of the Divine Art of Dire Lament to Stream Grade.

With this, the human companions could slightly resist, while the evil demon, naturally, would be affected.

"Tai!" Jade Tang roared, and divine power surged.

Divine Art: Lotus Sword Flight!

Red Scarf Disciple Jade Tang, please summon the Red Scarf Ancestor!

Jade Tang gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength, and fiercely pulled the Sky Piercing Spear!

However, the Demon Naga's right hand. Hmm, the lowest of its four right hands firmly gripped the spear shaft, not moving an inch!

"Let go of the spear!"

"Don't bother!" Leader Zhang Feng and Commander Tian Tian simultaneously issued the command.

The choices of the two Sword Lotus believers were surprisingly consistent, as they immediately launched several lotus petals.

"Retreat!" Zhang Feng shouted sternly, "There are a total of eight hands, and this is a River Realm Demon Naga!"

The Demon Naga clan is naturally large in size, around 3 meters, making it impossible to judge their strength solely by their physique.

But the extra arms of the Demon Naga are the result of the Demonic Technique: Demon Naga Hands!

The Stream Grade Demon Naga Hands allow the demon to grow two extra arms, and the River Grade adds another two, and so on.

"Damn it." Jade Tang was still rational, immediately abandoning the spear and retreating under the cover of the petals.

"Shua la la~"

At the same time, Chang Ying quickly shook the oracle tube.

"May the spirits of heaven and earth protect me. Cough, may the deity protect me, please grant me the oracle I seek!"

"Swoosh~!"

An oracle flew out of the tube at high speed.

Chang Ying was overjoyed!

Because the remaining four oracles in the tube also flew out.

The Oracle of the Five Treasures!

"Good!" Chang Ying pointed forward, filled with enthusiasm, "Go!"

To draw the desired oracle directly? Such a situation was extremely rare!

"Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

The five oracles, like five tiny wooden swords, swiftly pierced towards the Demon Naga under their owner's guidance.

At this moment, the Demon Naga was facing away from the teaching building, its attention drawn by the bleating of a little lamb.

An opportunity!

Chang Ying stared intently at the back of the Demon Naga's head, frantically urging the five oracles to pierce forward.

"Pa" A crisp sound rang out!

One of the Demon Naga's giant hands reached back and swatted away all five oracles with a single palm.

Decisive and efficient!

Chang Ying's face froze, and her hopes were dashed.

Strangely, the Demon Naga's multiple arms kept rotating, and the angle of their reverse joints made people's teeth hurt.

After a moment, except for the Demon Naga's own two arms, the remaining six arms all turned towards the direction of the teaching building.

Even stranger, the Demon Naga's attention had been on Lu Ran from the start!

So, were these six arms fighting on their own?

"Pa~"

The giant hand swatted away the incoming oracles as if swatting flies.

But this time, there were more than just five oracles attacking.

Under Zhang Feng's spellcasting, a giant lotus flower blossomed on the playground, from which six flying swords flew out!

Sword Lotus Divine Art: Flying Sword Lotus!

The flying swords pierced the Demon Naga from various angles.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

A series of crisp sounds followed.

The Demon Naga continued to stride forward, its giant hands behind it firmly grasping the flying swords.

Without guns or cannons, what could humans do?

The crisp sounds were like slaps to the faces of the Sword Lotus believers.

It was understandable that Chang Ying, a Stream Realm practitioner, couldn't trouble the Demon Naga, as there was a huge gap in their cultivation realms.

But even Zhang Feng, a River Realm practitioner, couldn't inflict much damage on the Demon Naga!

The Demon Naga did bleed, as its giant hands were cut by the sword blades when it grabbed them.

But that was the extent of the damage.

"Hiss"

The Demon Naga's face twisted in a sinister grin, and it let out a low, menacing roar that sent shivers down one's spine!

Its six arms behind it held six Flying Sword Lotuses, and its own two hands gripped the Sky Piercing Spear and iron chains.

Amidst the faint bleating of the lamb, the Demon Naga's pace suddenly quickened, and the black mist around it grew denser!

Lu Ran stood in the snow, holding two knives and staring intently at the Demon Naga's ferocious red eyes.

Suddenly, Lu Ran blinked.

The human's pitch-black eyes instantly transformed into a pair of sinister lamb eyes.

Staring each other down, neither backing down!

Behind those thick, black horizontal pupils, a faint black flame quietly ignited.

"Roar!" The Demon Naga let out an angry roar, its momentum overwhelming.

Its massive body, like a black storm, carried an incredibly savage and cruel aura as it advanced towards the tiny humans.

Lu Ran's eyes were cold, and he didn't retreat. Instead, he slowly raised the Jie Ye Sword and held it horizontally in front of him:

"Baa."

Today's three chapters, 12, 18, 22.

Thank you for the generous reward of 100,000 points!

Long time no see, thank you for your continued support, boss!

Wishing you a smooth year, peaceful years, joyful days, and harmonious nights!
