Chapter 204: The Power of the River Realm!

Chapter 204: The Power of the River Realm!

"Chiiii—"

Lu Ran dared not delay, and as the mist beneath his feet churned, he fled towards the direction of the Fifth Wall.

To his right, another surge of intense energy erupted.

Lu Ran's feet rose on a wave of wind, and in an instant, he veered sharply to the left.

Nightfiend Sorcery: City of Night Dance!

"Crack!"

As expected, two rows of uneven fangs rapidly emerged, clashing together with a vicious bite.

The unbearably grating sound made Lu Ran's heart tremble.

If he were to be bitten, wouldn't his body be torn to pieces?

Fortunately, every time Jiang Pin's Evil Teeth appeared, the energy fluctuations were particularly intense, allowing Lu Ran to more clearly sense the enemy's offensive.

"Rulu"

As soon as the evil teeth passed, a deep throat sound echoed from the side.

Lu Ran's entire body was covered in goosebumps.

What you fear, you attract!

This River Realm Evil Dog is indeed equipped with the Dark Art: Evil Shadow Flash!

It can teleport!

It makes sense; without teleportation, how could this evil dog have crossed the walls of the Screening Zone and sneaked into the Buffer Zone?

"Lu Ran!"

Both Jiang Si and Lu Ran were startled.

The evil dog suddenly appeared, directly blocking Lu Ran's escape path, catching him off guard.

Its gaping maw seemed to be waiting for delicious human flesh.

Lu Ran's heart was in his throat!

Instinctively, he reacted, solidifying the wind beneath his feet and dodging to the right.

In that brief moment, Lu Ran, while avoiding the fangs and the evil dog, dashed left and then right, drawing a lightning symbol in the air.

It's worth mentioning that Lu Ran had been moving at high speed the entire time!

If not for his body's natural reflexes, he would likely have ended up in the dog's jaws by now.

It was truly a hair-raising moment!

"Rulu" The evil dog crouched slightly, its throat rumbling even louder.

"Ya!"

"Ya!!"

At the same time, two crow cries echoed in the night sky.

The sound was incredibly grating, and it carried an invisible sound shockwave, enveloping the pitch-black evil dog.

Crow Divine Art: Crow Cry!

The Crow faction isn't known for their offensive prowess, and this technique is one of their rare offensive skills, but the effect is indescribable!

When this technique is used, it can release soundwave attacks within a certain area, and the targets affected will also suffer a certain degree of mental damage.

"Damn!" Lu Ran, rarely, cursed.

His head buzzed, and he stumbled, falling to the ground.

But Lu Ran's forward momentum continued!

As a result, Lu Ran, like a stone skipping on a lake, bounced on the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.

He had been grazed by the soundwave attack!

This kind of offensive technique might not be as damaging against ordinary people.

But against Lu Ran, it was as if his life was being taken.

Lu Ran had been using the Dark Art: Evil Perception the entire time, and it was set to its maximum level!

"Wuu~ Wuu."

Lu Ran was in a sorry state, and the evil dog on the side was howling in pain, its figure vanishing in an instant.

In terms of dark arts, Lu Ran was no different from a dog.

This technique was a major counter to Lu Ran, and it was also a major counter to the evil dog!

Moreover, compared to Lu Ran, the River Realm Evil Dog's Dark Art: Evil Perception was of a higher rank, and it should have suffered more severe damage.

"Dong!" Lu Ran slammed heavily into a huge rock.

His physical body wasn't severely damaged, and the water flow armor on his body was almost completely intact.

But Lu Ran's head buzzed, and his head felt like it was about to split.

"Lu Ran!" Jiang Ruyi quickly flew over and picked up Lu Ran.

Four white jade tablets still floated around her body, and one of them touched Lu Ran's body.

But under her control, the white jade tablet did not shatter.

"Woof!"

For the first time, everyone heard the evil dog's bark.

Since its appearance, this River Realm Evil Dog had only emitted hunting throat sounds and had never roared like it was now.

Anyone could hear the extreme anger in its heart.

"Get up!" Jiang Ruyi picked up Lu Ran and quickly flew away.

On the night of the 15th, Lu Ran had been holding Jiang Ruyi, evading the pursuit of the Nightfiend Clan.

But now, Jiang Ruyi tightly embraced Lu Ran, trying to escape from the dog's jaws.

Lu Ran shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind.

His gaze passed over Jiang Ruyi's shoulder, and he looked back, finally seeing the true form of the River Realm Evil Dog.

It was over three meters long, and its shoulders were over two meters high!

Although it was slender, its massive size was enough to give people a sense of immense pressure!

Its body was covered in black fur, and its eyes gleamed with a menacing red light, making it look extremely vicious.

Unlike other evil dogs, this River Realm Evil Dog had thick black energy coiled around its legs and claws.

The energy was like smoke and mist, or like black flames, swaying with the dog's movements, looking incredibly eerie!

"Crack!"

The fangs returned.

This time, however, they weren't attacking Lu Ran but tearing at the black crow in the night sky.

Because Lu Ran hadn't used Sheep Call for a while and due to the attack from the Crow Believers, the evil dog's hatred had been redirected.

"Puff puff puff"

In the night sky, two black crows flapped their wings, frantically dodging.

In an instant, countless feathers fell, and the two crows looked miserable, quickly separating.

"This is bad!" Lu Ran's heart sank.

As the effects of the Crow Divine Art: Crow Cry on him diminished, Lu Ran realized the severity of the situation.

As expected, the evil dog instantly teleported into the sky!

It opened its gaping maw and bit down hard on a black crow.

The crow dodged repeatedly, flying up and down, but

The evil dog kept flashing, and in less than 2 seconds, its jaws clamped down on the crow's wings.

Of course, the Evil Dog Clan couldn't fly, but this River Realm Evil Dog, with its continuous flashing, managed to "stand" in the air, wreaking havoc.

Lu Ran's pupils constricted slightly: "Shadow Substitute! Quick, substitute!"

"Puff puff puff~"

There was no need for Lu Ran's reminder; the black crow that was bitten had already been enveloped in surging energy.

Suddenly, a black crow flew out of the torn body of the crow that was being bitten.

Divine Art: Shadow Substitute!

This art is similar to the Dark Art: Straw Man of the Straw Demon Clan.

However, for human believers to cast this art, there is a prerequisite—they must be in crow form.

"Ssss! Ssss!"

The Evil Dog, disregarding everything else, bit into the "Crow Substitute" and fiercely shook its head from side to side, determined to tear this annoying creature to shreds.

"Yaa~~"

"Yaa!!" The two black crows cried out once more.

Divine Art: Crow Cry!

Their choice was indeed correct; to deal with the Evil Dog Clan, they should use sound shockwaves.

It was clear that to protect these students, the leader Zhou Tian and his comrade were truly risking their lives!

They had made up their minds to draw the Evil Dog's attention to themselves, buying time for the students to escape.

But how long could these two River Realm Fifth Stage soldiers withstand the Evil Dog?

"Swoosh~"

The Evil Dog flashed again!

With a painful brain, the Evil Dog became more aggressive and instantly appeared behind one of the crows.

At the same time, this black crow disappeared.

Crow Divine Art: Shadow Concealment!

The Crow Clan is indeed not skilled in offense, but when it comes to reconnaissance, escape, and other aspects, they are undoubtedly masters.

"Woof!!"

The Evil Dog didn't care.

What's the point of invisibility?

I can't see you, but can't I smell your scent?

"Arf!" The Evil Dog bit down where the crow had disappeared.

"Yaa"

With a mournful cry, the black crow reappeared, having been bitten out of its invisibility!

Undeniably, the crow's invisibility did slightly disrupt the Evil Dog.

The Evil Dog's huge mouth didn't bite the crow's body, but instead, it viciously tore the crow's wings to shreds.

The black crow quickly cast its spell again, once more using Divine Art: Shadow Substitute.

Once again, under the protection of the Supreme Deity, Zhou Tian narrowly escaped death.

But this life-saving divine technique consumes a significant amount of divine power and stamina, and the consequence of using it repeatedly in a short period is rapid exhaustion.

Or perhaps, one misstep, and the Evil Dog would directly bite into the crow's body, killing it instantly!

Zhou Tian was risking his life to save Lu Ran and the others!

"Ruff!" The Evil Dog shook its head from side to side, viciously tearing at the annoying crow.

"Yaa!!"

Not far away, another crow directly activated Divine Art: Crow Cry towards the crow and the dog.

The companion would definitely be injured, but it didn't matter; the harm suffered by the Evil Dog would certainly be greater!

"Swoosh~"

The Evil Dog quickly disappeared, and this time, it should have been a pure instinctive reaction!

Without Lu Ran's mental connection, this Evil Dog's powerful Dark Art: Evil Perception should not have been so easily triggered!

In an instant, the Evil Dog appeared behind another crow.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly, a sharp blade, carrying a terrifying sound of tearing through the air, stabbed towards the black crow.

The Evil Dog's speed and reactions were astonishing.

It directly flashed in place!

The Radiant Light Saber seemed to pierce through the Evil Dog's body, leaving a trail of red light in the night sky, but it didn't harm the Evil Dog in the slightest!

What?!

Flash in place?

There was no doubt that the Evil Dog had low intelligence.

But it relied on its powerful combat instincts and, unintentionally, performed such an astonishing move!

It was truly jaw-dropping!

If nothing unexpected happened, the future Lu Ran would also be able to perform such exquisite maneuvers.

The prerequisite was... he had to survive this battle.

The Cool Night Sword followed closely behind, but the Evil Dog suddenly disappeared.

This time, it didn't flash in place, and no one knew where it had gone.

"Don't worry about us, just run!" Zhou Tian shouted sternly.

From the moment the Evil Dog charged at the black crow, less than 10 seconds had passed!

It was also during this short 7 or 8 seconds that Zhou Tian had walked through the gates of death again and again.

The pinnacle warrior of the River Realm was being trampled upon by the Evil Dog, and he could die at any moment!

Perhaps in the next second, Zhou Tian would be bitten to death, unable to even cast a substitute, and truly perish.

"No, Ruyi!" Lu Ran broke free from Jiang Ruyi's embrace, "If we leave, Teacher Zhou and the others will definitely die!"

"Huff~"

Jiang Ruyi's figure came to a steady stop, her expression extremely grave.

Escaping indeed didn't seem like a wise decision.

With the Evil Dog's rapid flashing just now, who could possibly escape? Even with Lu Ran's fast movement speed, he couldn't compare to teleportation.

Could the two crows in the sky really hold out for another 8 seconds?

In no time at all, the Evil Dog would surely attack Lu Ran again!

"My control!" Jiang Ruyi struggled to calm herself down and quickly came up with a plan, "Sister Xian'er's offense!"

"Yes, let her use Heaven's Wrath Spell: Blazing Sky!" Lu Ran spoke quickly, looking around.

In the buffer zone, torches were stuck everywhere, illuminating the eerie wilderness of rocks and rubble, but there was no sign of the Evil Dog.

Silence,

A silence that chilled one to the bone!

"Lu Ran?" In the night sky, a voice broke the deathly silence, "Listen to me, damn it! Get back to the Fifth Wall!"

"Baa~~"

Responding to Zhou Tian was a familiar sheep's bleat and the sound of mist surging.

Hatred must be drawn, and quickly!

Because Lu Ran couldn't afford to gamble!

I

The Evil Dog itself might even appear directly behind Jiang Ruyi!

"Baa~~"

"Woof!"

As the sheep's bleat sounded, the dog's bark followed.

The cruel and violent aura in their hearts completely obscured the Evil Dog's already limited rationality, preventing it from lurking in the shadows and ambushing them.

The Evil Dog, with its massive body, suddenly appeared right in front of Lu Ran!

Its eyes were bloodshot and filled with a fierce light, and its mouth dripped with saliva as it emitted an extremely dangerous growl.

Last day of the month, please vote!
