Chapter 190: Cause and Effect, Demon and Sheep

Chapter 190: Cause and Effect, Demon and Sheep



On that day, Kou Yingquan recalled the fear of being dominated by the little lamb.

The same crying and pleading, the same sinister gaze!

The difference was that the last time Lu Ran was "crying with his face, and the bench was calling out."

But this time, Lu Ran held a real weapon—the Jie Ye Sword!

"Don't look! Don't look at his eyes!!"

Below the stage, Wu Shanshan hurriedly shouted, warning Kou Yingquan.

However, it was too late!

How fast was Lu Ran?

Kou Yingquan, filled with terror, couldn't hear the calls from below. He retreated in panic, instinctively waving his hand.

"Huff~"

The red robe's tail swayed, fluttering forward fiercely.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lu Ran, who was rushing forward, suddenly came to a screeching halt!

Moreover, for the audience below, Lu Ran even stomped his feet, pretending to be exerting all his strength to brake.

In reality, amidst the thick mist, Lu Ran had already created a layer of wind and waves beneath his feet.

He could have easily stopped his movement, but Lu Ran didn't. His control over distance was exquisite; he braked and stopped right in front of Kou Yingquan.

"Ah!!" Kou Yingquan screamed in terror, his body trembling.

Because, as the tail of the red robe fluttered past, Lu Ran's figure was revealed.

Those same sinister horizontal pupils!

Kou Yingquan felt as if he were in a graveyard with chilling winds, like he had entered a hell filled with white bones.

"Damn!"

"Ah!!"

"This, this fcking..." The people on the stage were terrified, and the audience below felt their hearts tremble.

A portion of the students who were intimidated by Lu Ran had their fear amplified.

For a moment, the audience on the right side of the stage was in complete chaos.

"No, don't, don't."

Kou Yingquan's face was filled with fear, his voice trembling as he spoke. He quickly leaped backward.

The red robe moved without wind, as if it wanted to carry its owner away from this place of trouble.

The River Treasure Blood Aura Robe could grant its wearer the ability to fly.

At this moment, Kou Yingquan was stared at by a pair of dead sheep eyes, his heart pounding in fear. His instinctive reaction was to retreat and flee; the farther away from Lu Ran, the better!

"Ssss—"

Lu Ran's Celestial Hoof moved again, suddenly lunging forward.

"Be careful!"

"His leg! Is his leg going to be chopped off?!"

The audience watched as Lu Ran closed in on Kou Yingquan, believing that the black obsidian sword would surely chop at Kou Yingquan's leg.

But Lu Ran's choice, once again, surprised everyone.

A crisp "pa" sound rang out!

Lu Ran tightly grabbed Kou Yingquan's ankle.

Kou Yingquan, who was flying backward, was instantly caught.

Just as the audience thought the two were about to engage in a struggle, Lu Ran's Celestial Hoof moved again!

"Ssss—"

Lu Ran, like a kite, grabbed the mid-air Kou Yingquan and darted to one side.

In the blink of an eye, both had dashed over twenty meters!

"Run?"

Riding the momentum, Lu Ran exerted force, swinging Kou Yingquan downward.

"Boom!"

The specially reinforced stage shattered into pieces, and Kou Yingquan was embedded within!

"Is it a crash landing?!"

"I've never seen such a fighting style before."

"Maybe it's the Express Delivery style."

"No way! Kou Yingquan is at least 1.9 meters tall, with a broad and sturdy build. How can he be so easily swung around by Lu Ran?"

"No!!!"

Amidst the exclamations, Lu Ran's movements were seamless. He stabbed downward with the sword.

Kou Yingquan didn't have time to react; his eyes widened in shock.

The extremely dangerous aura made Kou Yingquan's face turn ashen, and he seemed to enter a near-death state, the world around him slowing down.

Is he about to die?

"Ssss—"

The sharp blade scraped past Kou Yingquan's ear, piercing deep into the stage.

As Lu Ran stabbed downward, he knelt on one knee.

To be precise, he used his knee to forcefully press against Kou Yingquan's chest.

"Pa!" The crisp sound echoed.

Lu Ran bent down, pressing his hand hard against Kou Yingquan's face.

Through the gaps in his fingers, Lu Ran's sinister horizontal pupils seemed like sharp knives, piercing straight into Kou Yingquan's terrified eyes.

"Don't kill me," Lu Ran whispered, his head bowed.

Though it was a plea for mercy, it sounded like a demon's whisper.

Lu Ran seemed to be helping Kou Yingquan recall something.

And through Lu Ran's fingers, Kou Yingquan's eyes focused, staring only at Lu Ran's cold dead sheep eyes.

In his extreme terror, Kou Yingquan had lost the ability to think.

He seemed to have forgotten that he still had the strength to fight back, even forgetting that he possessed divine arts.

"Don't kill me," Kou Yingquan pleaded, his voice trembling. With Lu Ran firmly pressing his face, even his head shook only slightly.

A person's mental willpower can be likened to a dam.

At this moment, Kou Yingquan's dam was covered in cracks, eventually collapsing under the surging flood, beyond repair!

"I was wrong," Lu Ran said softly.

"I was wrong, I was wrong... I was wrong, please, please don't..." Kou Yingquan's face turned deathly pale, begging incessantly.

His voice was filled with despair and tears, leaving the audience stunned.

The blood aura robe on Kou Yingquan's body quietly disappeared, and the water flow armor rapidly dissipated.

This wasn't something he did intentionally; in his terror, he completely lost the ability to maintain his divine art.

"Swoosh—"

A whistle abruptly sounded, signaling the teacher to halt the match.

Lu Ran withdrew the Jie Ye Sword from the Judges' Podium and slowly stood up.

Below him, Kou Yingquan scrambled backward in a pitiful state, trying to escape.

His mind was consumed by a single thought—to get away from the terrifying demon.

"First match, Lu Ran wins!" the male teacher announced loudly, his expression complex as he looked at Lu Ran.

Throughout the entire duel, not a drop of blood had been shed.

Even Kou Yingquan's double-layered defense hadn't been breached.

However, Lu Ran had seized his opponent's weakness and completely crushed him on both the mental and psychological fronts.

The Immortal Sheep Sect's Deity Spell was indeed overwhelmingly powerful! When the Immortal Sheep Follower no longer showed weakness or cowardice and stopped fleeing from battles, this type of follower was truly formidable.

"Huff~"

Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted, and countless water droplets spread out.

In the sunlight, each droplet sparkled with clarity, floating in mid-air.

Strangely, streams of water converged, forming a shape that, despite its blurred outline, was unmistakably that of a "Dragon."

Asha Deity Spell: Azure Dragon Sea Domain!

This spell was an incredibly rare domain-type Deity Spell!

Within the Azure Dragon's range, all abnormal states were purified, and the caster could gather and perceive all information within the domain.

"Waaah!" Not far away, Kou Yingquan was in tears, rolling and crawling on the ground.

A slender Azure Dragon swiftly swam over and coiled around his body.

Below the Judges' Podium, Wu Shanshan raised her hand, continuing her spellcasting while turning to look at Lu Ran.

Her face was filled with indignation as she glared at Lu Ran, the first time she had faced him directly in such a long time.

"You've gone too far!" she exclaimed with hatred.

"Everything has a cause and effect," Lu Ran replied softly.

Wu Shanshan's face was flushed with anger as she stared intently at Lu Ran.

The Second Rank Deity Asha's followers indeed had a reason to be proud.

Wu Shanshan was surrounded by a thin Azure Dragon, unafraid of Lu Ran's sinister gaze.

Lu Ran: "Now that you've come out, do you want to play judge?"

Wu Shanshan retorted harshly, "Is there such a deep-seated grudge between us?"

Lu Ran nodded slightly, "My father died honorably in battle while guarding Rain Alley. He was a valiant warrior.

But Kou Yingquan said in class that the son of a mouse will dig holes.

He claimed that since I could summon demons, my father's death might not have been what it seemed."

Wu Shanshan opened her mouth but couldn't find the words to respond for a moment.

Lu Ran continued, "Why did all this happen?

It was just to satisfy his sense of superiority, to randomly bully and insult an Immortal Sheep Follower to showcase his strength.

You don't know how proud and arrogant Kou Yingquan was!

He's a powerful Captive Demon Follower, and when he charged at me in class, no one dared to stop him except for Jiang Ruyi.

So, now that you've stepped in, do you think you can stop me?"

Wu Shanshan's face stiffened, her fists clenched tightly.

"That's enough!" the male teacher said sternly. "Lu Ran, return to your squad immediately!"

Lu Ran glanced at Wu Shanshan, then jumped off the Judges' Podium and headed towards his squad's position.

Along the way, students made way for him.

On the Judges' Podium, Kou Yingquan remained seated, his face still covered in tears and mucus, looking dazed.

Even with the Azure Dragon's protection, he hadn't fully escaped the nightmare of those Dead Sheep Eyes.

Perhaps, from now on, every time he encountered Lu Ran, this heavy psychological shadow would resurface.

"Lu Ran," Class Monitor Li Yan Zhu approached Lu Ran and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hmm? Teacher?"

"You know, Kou Yingquan was suspended for a long time. I also contacted his parents and gave them a stern warning.

His family repeatedly assured the school that such incidents wouldn't happen again.

After careful consideration, the school decided to keep him on probation."

Lu Ran nodded.

This incident, on a smaller scale, was a student fight, but on a larger scale, it was an insult to a heroic martyr.

However, Rain Alley City was so small, and with such a limited student population, a Third Rank Deity Follower was a precious asset, capable of meeting the school's enrollment targets.

How could the school easily let go of such a student?

Li Yan Zhu sighed softly and patted Lu Ran's shoulder again, "No matter what, you've been wronged."

"No," Lu Ran chuckled, "I didn't stab him in the mouth with a chair leg?

The teacher was keen-eyed and only gave me a standing punishment, allowing me to participate in the squad formation on time."

Li Yan Zhu patted Lu Ran's shoulder and turned to leave.

Lu Ran silently raised his head, looking at the Judges' Podium, watching as Kou Yingquan was escorted away, his spirit broken.

"Lu, my brother," Deng Yutang approached and put an arm around Lu Ran's shoulder.

"Hmm?"

"Blame me for not helping you back then," Deng Yutang apologized.

"Didn't I catch you? Otherwise, I would have smashed the table," Lu Ran shook his head. "Besides, we weren't that close back then."

Upon hearing this, Deng Yutang nodded in understanding. "That's true.

You were always hanging out with Class Monitor Jiang, leaving no time to get to know the other male classmates."

Lu Ran: "."
