Chapter 163: The Legendary Name?
Chapter 163: The Legendary Name?
"Oh no!" Zhang Feng's face turned grim.
He had no intention of providing weapons to the Prison Heaven Demon, so he decisively canceled the Divine Art: Lotus Flying Sword.
In an instant, a series of shattering sounds echoed.
The six flying swords held by the Prison Heaven Demon's six hands shattered and disappeared one after another.
At the same time, Zhang Feng knelt on one knee, plunging one hand into the snowy ground.
Divine Art: Lotus Bud Spell!
"Huff!"
Just as the Prison Heaven Demon took a big step forward, a gorgeous lotus bloomed in the snow.
"Beautiful!" Deng Yutang's eyes lit up.
The Prison Heaven Demon, with its intimidating aura, happened to step right into the lotus.
The nine-petaled lotus quickly closed in, and although it couldn't trap the massive Prison Heaven Demon, it tightly secured one of its legs!
"Well done," Tian Tian whispered in admiration.
The others could only see the lotus blooming in the snow.
But as a fellow Lotus Sword believer, Tian Tian clearly understood how exquisite Zhang Feng's skill was.
Following her senior brother's example, she immediately knelt and activated the Divine Art: Lotus Bud Spell.
"Lu..." Zhang Feng was about to say something, but his already grim expression turned even more ashen!
What surprised everyone was that the Prison Heaven Demon continued striding forward without a moment's pause.
"Crack!"
As the Prison Heaven Demon advanced, the delicate petals were torn to pieces!
"Prison Heaven Power?" Zhang Feng was horrified.
He had thought that he could at least slightly restrict the demon.
But the resilient lotus was so fragile in the face of the Prison Heaven Demon's towering physique.
In fact, this was the first time Zhang Feng had seen the Prison Heaven Demon with his own eyes.
Demons like these, including the Night Charm Clan and the Savage Naga Clan, were extremely rare.
Small cities like Rain Alley City rarely attracted the attention of the Prison Heaven Clan.
Moreover, the Demon Dungeon, where Prison Heaven Demons thrived, was not open to outsiders.
As a result, Zhang Feng had never encountered the Prison Heaven Clan since his trainee days, even after ten years on the job.
"We can't stop it," Deng Yutang said gravely.
If Zhang Feng's Lotus Bud Spell couldn't halt the demon, then there was no hope for Tian Tian's.
Everyone watched helplessly as Tian Tian's summoned lotus was crushed by the Prison Heaven Demon before it could even take shape.
"Roar!"
The Prison Heaven Demon roared in anger, stomping heavily on the ground to vent its rage.
The sight chilled everyone's hearts.
The demon's body stood three meters tall, resembling a solid bronze and iron statue, indicating immense strength.
Even more terrifying was the Prison Heaven Clan's possession of the Dark Art: Prison Heaven Power!
There were numerous types of demons in this world.
Many demon races had techniques to enhance physical attributes like strength and speed.
Coincidentally, these power-boosting techniques often appeared in power-type demons like the Prison Heaven Demon and the Soul Shattering Demon, leaving no room for survival!
"Get out of the way, Lu Ran!"
"Master, quickly move aside!" Voices filled with worry echoed.
"Impressive." Lu Ran narrowed his eyes, his pupils burning with black fire.
Dark Art: Cage Fire!
This technique was capable of immobilizing Xiao Li Hua.
It could also slightly hinder most River Realm demons.
But when the black fire's glow shone upon the Prison Heaven Demon, nothing happened!
"Roar!"
The Prison Heaven Demon suddenly lashed out with its hand, turning the Tian Chen Spear into a javelin that flew toward Lu Ran.
Lu Ran's eyes widened in shock.
He quickly sidestepped, and the spear, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom, pierced through his chest and deeply embedded itself into the ground.
"Hiss!" The Prison Heaven Demon, thwarted in its first attack, grew even angrier.
You dare to resist, little thing?
I'll crush you today!
"Bang!"
The Prison Heaven Demon's foot stomped, sending frost and sand flying.
Its massive body lunged forward like a heavy cannonball, charging at Lu Ran.
"Ssss—"
Lu Ran's feet churned the Celestial Mist, rapidly moving sideways.
The Prison Heaven Demon became increasingly enraged, wildly waving its eight arms.
Chains appeared from its palms, lashing viciously toward Lu Ran.
Dark Art: Prison Heaven Chain!
The iron chains seemed to extend indefinitely, transforming into heavy and ferocious whips that lashed at Lu Ran.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
The Prison Heaven Demon's strength was formidable, and the chains it wielded possessed astonishing power and speed!
Each strike against the ground created a deep crater.
Lu Ran focused all his energy on evading, and as he dodged, his dark arts reached their peak.
Dark Art: Evil Perception!
Dark Art: Evil Agility!
Lu Ran moved nimbly in the snow, each step filled with trepidation.
"Huff~"
Black flames suddenly ignited on the Prison Heaven Chain.
Dark Art: Prison Heaven Flame!
This fire didn't harm the body and couldn't even melt the frost.
But it devoured the target's divine energy!
This was just the effect of the River-grade Prison Heaven Flame.
Once this technique advanced to the River Rank, the black fire would be able to refine the target's divine energy!
In other words, the Prison Heaven Demon could absorb the target's energy in a unique way!
Lu Ran's foundational knowledge was solid, and he even knew that once the Prison Heaven Flame reached the Sea Rank, it could incinerate the souls of living beings!
"Ahhhh!"
The Prison Heaven Demon roared in increasing fury.
Its scarlet eyes radiated red beams, striking fear into onlookers.
"Huff~"
Lu Ran skidded in the snow, his eyes flashing with black fire. Although the flames were still black, the demonic technique was completely different.
Dark Art: Cage Fire (Illusion)!
"Again!" Lu Ran glared at the Prison Heaven Demon.
Since I can't control your physical body, I'll manipulate your mind!
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a blood-red chain appeared beside the Prison Heaven Demon, wrapping around its arm.
Clearly, the Moonlit team had come to assist, and among them was a Captive Demon Disciple.
This blood-red chain caused the already enraged Prison Heaven Demon to completely descend into a frenzy!
If the North Wind Clan and the Night Charm Clan were irreconcilable foes, then the Captive Demon Clan and the Prison Heaven Clan were equally mortal enemies!
"Crack, crack."
Blood-red chains rapidly appeared, binding the majestic body of the Prison Heaven Demon.
A flock of pitch-black crows flew over, flapping their wings and surrounding the demon, pecking at it frantically, trying to blind its eyes.
A lotus bud blossomed, and a flying sword shot out.
"Ahhhh!" The Prison Heaven Demon roared in anger.
Ignoring the lotus beneath his feet and the surrounding crows, he tore at the blood chains on his body and charged towards the Human squad.
His scarlet eyes fixed on the Captive Demon Disciple!
This scene left Lu Ran in awe.
Such extreme hatred!
Although he had been bleating earlier, the Prison Heaven Demon now abandoned him and turned to attack the Captive Demon believer?
That's not acceptable!
"Baa!" Lu Ran shouted.
I don't care if the Prison Heaven Clan and the Captive Demon Clan are mortal enemies!
Today, in this battle, my Celestial Ram Clan will get involved!
Lu Ran's cry was extraordinary.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had forcibly turned the Prison Heaven Demon's head!
Not only the Prison Heaven Demon, but the Moonlit team that had come to assist also turned to look at Lu Ran, their faces grim.
"Yes! Look at me, you brat!" Lu Ran muttered.
His cold gaze, like two sharp swords, pierced straight into the Prison Heaven Demon's scarlet eyes.
"Ahhhh!"
The enraged Prison Heaven Demon wildly swung his chains, charging at Lu Ran without hesitation.
"Sss!"
Suddenly, the sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed!
Among the flying swords circling the Prison Heaven Demon, one took an odd trajectory, avoiding the wildly swinging chains and deeply piercing the demon's arm.
The Prison Heaven Demon howled in pain, its majestic body shivering, and it became even more frenzied.
"Huff!"
A surge of energy erupted.
In an instant, chains appeared on the Prison Heaven Demon's body.
Dark Art: Hundred Chain Garment!
This was a somewhat crude defensive technique, as each chain had holes.
Of course, with enough chains wrapped around the body, this weakness could be compensated for.
"Ugh!" The Prison Heaven Demon's feet gave way, and like a cannonball, it rushed towards Lu Ran.
"Lu Ran!"
"Wait, don't..." Amidst the cries of alarm, Lu Ran's feet emitted divine mist, and he rapidly retreated.
"Baa!"
The little lamb, you're truly a rebel!
Not only was he unafraid, but he shouted even louder.
The Prison Heaven Demon thrust forward, and Lu Ran flew backward.
The two faced each other, and their gazes...
The demon's eyes were more vicious than the human's, and the human's eyes were more ruthless than the demon's!
No one knew that in the Prison Heaven Demon's world, the images in its eyes were rapidly changing.
"Baa~~~"
The bleating continued, and Lu Ran didn't even give the Prison Heaven Demon a chance to blink!
Lu Ran's messy hair danced in the wind as he flew backward, all the way to the school gate.
Along the way, divine mist surged, and frost snow danced.
In the enveloping snow mist, the Prison Heaven Demon charged forward like a madman, chasing Lu Ran.
"It's our turn, Jie Ye," Lu Ran muttered, his eyes narrowing.
At this point, the illusion was complete!
The Prison Heaven Demon's strength was evident to the naked eye, but its weakness was equally fatal.
Similar to the Savage Naga Clan, the Prison Heaven Clan lacked strength in the spiritual realm.
"Huff~"
Lu Ran, still flying backward, stomped on the snowy ground.
In the divine mist, a layer of wind swelled quietly beneath Lu Ran's feet.
Night Charm Dark Art: Night Dance of the City!
Lu Ran's movements were like those of a sprinting athlete, unaffected by any backward inertia.
He abruptly stopped and accelerated, bursting forward!
"Lu Ran!"
Shouts of surprise rose, and the Moonlit team that had come to assist paled in shock.
They had, of course, heard of this name.
These two words had even taken on a legendary hue.
From the first of June, when he paid respects to the Demon Prisoner and the Vermillion Paper Figure, to the most terrifying night on the fifteenth of July, when he fought alongside the patrol team.
Then, on the fifteenth of October, on the night when ghosts roamed, he slaughtered his way through the Savage Naga tribe.
The Moonlit team stationed in Rain Alley City had heard these mysterious rumors, even if they hadn't witnessed them firsthand.
And on this night,
when that tiny human figure, with its lifeless, dead sheep eyes, charged at the ferocious and terrifying giant...
this single image told everyone:
Those rumors,
were all fucking true!
