Chapter 164: Eight Blade Style?
Chapter 164: Eight Blade Style?
The tiny human figure dove into the Prison Heaven Demon's embrace like a young swallow returning to its nest.
Along with it, a sharp Jie Ye Sword plunged into the demon's chest through the gaps in the chains.
"Tsss!"
The slender blade slid through the chain holes and pierced the demon's chest.
"Hiss!"
The Prison Heaven Demon let out a cry, more like a furious roar than a pained one.
He was truly bewildered! In his field of vision, the tiny human was still charging towards him, at least twenty to thirty meters away.
But why did his heart ache so much? And where had the sharp blade come from?
"Ahhhh!"
The Prison Heaven Demon's arms bulged with muscles, as if they were about to burst.
He didn't care who was in front of him; he fiercely embraced his arms.
The celestial mist surged, and the demonic shadows retreated hastily.
Just before the giant hands could embrace him, Lu Ran swiftly withdrew his blade.
But that wasn't all!
Using the Divine Art: Immortal Hoof, Lu Ran, who was rapidly retreating, only took three to four steps back before stamping his foot firmly and stabilizing his stance.
The enormous inertia and retreating momentum seemed nonexistent.
Lu Ran thrust forward again, his cold, horizontal eyes gleaming with a faint light.
The Dark Art: Evil Perception helped him precisely locate the chain holes in the densely entangled "Chain Robe."
The Dark Art: Evil Agility made his thrusting blade incredibly swift and precise.
The Dark Art: Night Dance of the City allowed him to abruptly stop and start without hesitation.
In the snow-covered ground bathed in cold moonlight, Lu Ran danced gracefully like a night demon.
"Tsss!"
The blade pierced the demon's flesh, and the Radiance Blade entered through its ribs.
"Ahhh!" The Prison Heaven Demon roared in anger.
Before he could react, his arms were already in motion, and the chains in his hands lashed out fiercely.
"Slap!"
Lu Ran's feet were enveloped in celestial mist, and he hastily retreated, hearing the chains slamming onto the ground.
These arms that could move on their own were indeed troublesome.
Long ago, Lu Ran had noticed this problem.
Although he had attracted the Prison Heaven Demon's attention, the Dark Art: Cage Hand had actively swatted away the Spirit Oracle and grabbed the flying sword.
"Be careful of the Lotus Flying Sword! Stop! Stop the flying sword!" the Demon Prisoner Devotee shouted.
Lu Ran's speed was incredibly fast, and he darted left and right, causing the Moonlit People to fear that the flying sword would pierce him.
The Captive Demon Disciple continuously summoned blood chains, attempting to bind the Prison Heaven Demon's six giant hands.
It was evident that with Lu Ran's strength, the Moonlit People decisively adjusted their tactics and began to provide support.
Even though Lu Ran was just a student and a Celestial Sheep Follower, it didn't matter!
What mattered was that this young man was genuinely fierce! He faced the enemy head-on and was more than capable.
"Roar!"
As the blood-red chains pulled, the massive body of the Prison Heaven Demon abruptly leaned back.
"Crack! Crack!"
The six arms pulled with all their might, and the blood-red chains began to crack.
"Tsss—"
The celestial mist and demonic shadows intertwined.
Like a young swallow returning to its nest, the blade pierced the demon's heart once more.
"Crack!!"
In excruciating pain, the Prison Heaven Demon tore the blood-red chains apart! Due to his excessive force, all six arms were bent forward, facing the front.
"Roar!" The Prison Heaven Demon went completely insane.
He hadn't locked eyes with Lu Ran for several seconds, and the effects of the illusion gradually faded, leaving his mind in disarray.
At this moment, he didn't care what he was seeing.
The eight arms holding the chains frantically lashed out in all directions, resembling a maniac.
As Lu Ran rapidly retreated, his eyes narrowed.
An opportunity!
His sliding body abruptly stopped, and Lu Ran swiftly circled behind the demon.
"No! Don't go!"
"You're looking for trouble! You're insane!"
"Lu Ran?"
At that moment, the Prison Heaven Demon was attacking indiscriminately, with chains lashing out at everything around him.
Even though Lu Ran attacked from behind, the Prison Heaven Demon's attacks were chaotic.
The six arms that had been bent forward occasionally lashed out towards the back.
However, amidst the shocked gazes and shouts of the crowd, Lu Ran's expression darkened as he charged into the chain formation!
I've even ventured into the Demon Prisoner Devotee's "Blood Inferno."
Do you think I'm afraid of your Prison Heaven's black inferno?
At this moment, Lu Ran was like an embodiment of the Night Charm.
With the Immortal Hoof fully unleashed, Lu Ran charged into the chain formation, stepping and darting left and right.
"Hiss!" This wasn't a roar but the sound of the Moonlit People gasping in shock.
"Damn!"
"But, but it's truly demonic!"
The Moonlit People even felt like they were witnessing a powerful Northwind Follower!
It wasn't just his speed or agility.
Lu Ran seemed to hear the wind, effortlessly dodging the howling chains that lashed out at him.
His skills were divine!
At this moment, everyone finally understood how Lu Ran had managed to slay the Savage Naga in mid-October.
However, Lu Ran in October didn't possess the strength he had now.
It seemed like he was repeatedly changing direction by stamping his feet.
In reality, amidst the dense celestial mist, Lu Ran's feet were enveloped in swirling winds, allowing him to alter his course at will.
Why did he dare to charge in? Because the Prison Heaven Demon had gone mad.
If the Prison Heaven Demon had continued to allow the six arms to move freely, Lu Ran would have been more cautious.
But at this moment, the Prison Heaven Demon had clearly regained control of the six arms.
Eight arms and eight chains flailed about chaotically, without any semblance of order!
"Die."
Lu Ran's voice was soft, but his actions were ruthless.
He seized the opportunity, stomping heavily on the ground, and in the not-so-dense chain formation, he found a large gap!
The Jie Ye Sword in his right hand pierced straight into the back of the Prison Heaven Demon's head!
"Tsk!"
The pitch-black blade pierced through the Prison Heaven Demon's forehead, staining the blade with crimson blood.
In an instant, the snarling Prison Heaven Demon finally stopped!
Lu Ran was practically crouching on the broad back of the Prison Heaven Demon, and under the immense impact, he charged forward with the demon.
The Prison Heaven Demon whipped up a gale, and wherever it passed, frost and snow danced.
Lu Ran stomped hard on the demon's back, and under his feet, celestial mist surged as the Celestial Hoof activated again!
The man and the demon separated.
The demon rushed towards the school gate, crashing heavily into the snow and forming a snowdrift.
Lu Ran retreated towards the teaching building, sliding backwards in the snow, trying to slow down his momentum.
"Heh."
Lu Ran took a deep breath.
That damn dog,
It was pretty hard to kill, huh?
When I killed the Savage Naga, I didn't even use the Night Charm's demonic technique for help.
It's not that the Prison Heaven Demon is stronger than the Savage Naga.
It's just that the Prison Heaven Demon is really good at countering close-range fighters like Lu Ran.
These demons not only have numerous arms and chains, but those arms can also move independently.
Truly bizarre!
It's a shame about those six arms, though.
If the Prison Heaven Demon hadn't canceled the 'Autopilot' function, those six arms might have been able to protect its master for a while longer.
Hmm, this is interesting.
Lu Ran couldn't help but ponder in silence.
If he could activate the demonic statue of the Prison Heaven Demon clan, he could also grow six arms.
These arms should be able to protect me automatically, right?
In that case, could I wield eight blades?
Anyway, I don't have to worry about limited attention, since those six arms can be put on autopilot.
Wow, eight-blade style?
"Huff~"
Lu Ran faintly heard the sound of wind and waves approaching.
His whole body tensed, and he immediately looked up at the night sky.
But he saw a woman in a thick woolen coat, holding a thin and long Night Slashing Saber, rapidly stabbing downwards.
As she got closer, the anxiety on her face gradually faded.
"Ms. Deng, Ms. Deng."
"Ms. Deng." The Moonlit People immediately greeted her.
Deng Yuxiang's speed suddenly decreased, and she slowly descended, her gaze sweeping across the entire scene.
She saw her younger brother in the distance, as well as several stunned students at the entrance and inside the teaching building.
She scanned the faces of the Moonlit People, each filled with horror, as if they hadn't recovered from the shock.
Finally, Deng Yuxiang saw the massive corpse lying in the snow at the school gate.
"Did you request support?" Deng Yuxiang slowly landed, "You said there was a River Realm 3-4 stage Prison Heaven Demon here?"
"Lu Ran has already taken care of it," one of the Moonlit People said.
Deng Yuxiang's lips curved slightly upwards, and in the moonlight, her smile was captivating.
Unlike the others, she was well aware of Lu Ran's strength and had no doubts.
Deng Yuxiang took two steps forward and extended her cold palm to straighten Lu Ran's disheveled clothes:
"Showing off again?"
The content of her words should have been a scolding.
But her tone, no matter how you listened to it, carried a hint of pride.
Lu Ran shook his head: "No, no, the Moonlit People were helping me hold the formation."
His words made everyone blush!
Some felt ashamed, while others thought that Lu Ran's words were harsh.
In fact, Lu Ran's words were sincere.
The Demon Prisoner's use of divine spells to bind the Prison Heaven Demon's arms with chains was indeed crucial!
Of course, if there had been no one else on the battlefield, Lu Ran would have killed the demon much faster.
After all, most of his demonic techniques were absolutely not meant for public display.
He couldn't possibly transform into the Night Charm and wield eight Night Charm Blades to kill a Prison Heaven Demon in front of everyone.
That way, the Prison Heaven Demon might have died quickly, but so would Lu Ran.
"Pfft~"
The distant giant skeleton shattered into wisps of blue smoke.
Deng Yuxiang: "From the looks of it, this battle was quite dangerous?"
Lu Ran seemed to have found a confidant, and couldn't stop talking: "Its hands were too many!
The chains it whipped around made such a racket, who could withstand that?"
Deng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow slightly: "Didn't you withstand it?"
Lu Ran pouted.
That's true~
"Next time, you can wait for the patrol team's support. Don't be so stubborn." Deng Yuxiang spoke softly.
"Oh, right, where's your camera?" Lu Ran asked curiously, looking at the Nightmare's collar.
But Deng Yuxiang just smiled: "I've already reached the River Basin Realm, and I have more important responsibilities, so I can't participate in 'Heaven's Pride' anymore."
Lu Ran: "."
So, no believer points, no rewards, and no divine armaments or magical tools?
Suddenly, Deng Yuxiang said, "Actually, 'Heaven's Pride' is very interested in you.
Do you remember? They specifically asked me to bring you along to participate."
Lu Ran: "Hmm"
Deng Yuxiang turned her head and looked towards the direction where the Prison Heaven Demon's corpse had vanished: "Now, you've also reached the River Realm.
With your combat power, you deserve the title of 'Heaven's Pride'."
Lu Ran clenched his double blades, his heart pounding!
"Just focus on completing your tasks. After the 15th, I'll ask about it for you." Deng Yuxiang said, her figure slowly rising into the air.
Lu Ran looked up at the woman and reminded her, "Be careful on your way."
Deng Yuxiang smiled and glared at Lu Ran: "You're telling me to be careful?
If this happens again, wait for my support."
Lu Ran: "Oh."
The third watch is over, wow! I've been writing from morning till night, sitting at the computer all day, my body's numb~
