Chapter 212: Watch and Learn

Chapter 212: Watch and Learn

The battle of the Fifteenth Night had just begun.

Lu Ran had only displayed a glimpse of his skills, and the livestream chat was already flooded with messages.

"The blade he threw out came back on its own?"

"Divine Weapon! This kid has a Divine Weapon!!!"

"Did he just one-shot the Soul Shadow Fiend?"

"Timing Hero! Holy cow! What a precise blade!"

"I knew it! Heaven's Pride wouldn't promote a useless person, right?"

"All those who doubted him, quickly apologize to Lu Ran! Apologize now!"

It was evident that Lu Ran's public image was rapidly improving.

In this cold and cruel world, strength was the foundation of everything.

As long as you were strong enough, you could attract a large number of followers.

And the more powerful you were, the higher your combat strength, the more tolerant people would be of you!

"Shua la la"

In Yuxiang City, the night rain poured relentlessly.

At the old bridgehead, a white jade plaque suddenly flew by at high speed.

"Pa!" The Frost Charm made a crisp sound as it accurately landed on a Mist Shadow Fiend.

In an instant, frost spread, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply!

The Mist Shadow Fiend's gray mist-shrouded body was quickly enveloped by the frost, freezing rapidly.

"Hiss!"

The Mist Shadow Fiend panicked.

The Mist Shadow Fiend's most prized possession was its uniquely constructed body.

Physical attacks from humans and most Divine Arts had little effect on them.

Unfortunately for the Mist Shadow Fiend, it had encountered Goddess Jiang.

Her Inferno Charm could blast their bodies to pieces and ignite any remaining mist.

Her Frost Charm could freeze them solid, forcing their bodies to materialize!

"Silence."

A Night Mirage flashed by.

Lu Ran's soft whisper sounded like a demon's murmur.

The Night Silence Blade aimed for the enemy's head, and a frost-covered skull flew diagonally into the night sky.

At the back of the team, Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long looked at each other, reading the same thought in each other's eyes.

This combination was powerful!

The Sacred Sheep Sect was truly versatile.

Or perhaps it should be said that Lu Ran himself was compatible and adaptable to all!

Lu Ran could taunt and lure enemies, and his speed was astonishing, but his combat skills were even more impressive.

The Divine Weapon by his side somewhat made up for his lack of offensive power.

His extraordinary talent made Lu Ran seem like a detector, always sensing the presence of demons before anyone else.

This greatly increased the team's survival chances, and the possibility of being ambushed was almost non-existent.

Previously, the main attacker of this patrol team was the Second Rank Deity, Northwind Believer.

Great Nightmare had not let her teammates down, slaying demons like mowing down weeds on every Fifteenth Night.

With her departure, the team's core damage dealer was gone.

No one would have thought that, in the end, two high school students would step up to fill this void!

Based on their current performance, the efficiency of these two in killing enemies was no less than Deng Yujiang's.

Of course, true gold still needed to be tested by fire.

Slaying demon minions was not a significant achievement.

The patrol team's primary task was to put out fires everywhere, and the capabilities of Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi still needed further testing.

"Restore your Divine Energy."

Lu Ran took a few steps forward and found the frost-covered head.

He stepped on it, crushing the enemy's head to help it quickly turn into energy mist.

Behind them, the Mist Shadow Fiend's body, covered in frost, still stood in its original place.

Jiang Ruyi stepped forward, and from the wide sleeve of her black raincoat, a slender jade hand emerged, gently pushing forward.

"Dong!" A muffled sound echoed.

The Mist Shadow Fiend was frozen solid, but even after falling to the ground, it didn't shatter into pieces.

Jiang Ruyi imitated Lu Ran's action and stepped on it.

"Crack!"

The Mist Shadow Fiend's chest was crushed, and cracks quickly spread across its frost-covered body before it shattered into wisps of blue smoke.

The actions of the man and woman were naturally captured by Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long's cameras.

In an instant, Lu Ran's livestream chat was flooded with messages.

"Why reward it?"

"Sister, you stepped on me!"

"I'm here, I'm here. Did the little lamb cry? If not, I'll ask again later."

"Why cry? Lu Ran sliced the demon's neck with his blade and crushed its head with his foot! So cool!"

"This Sacred Sheep Believer is suspicious! How dare he go forward and fight?"

"My brother has a Sacred Sheep teammate, and he's so annoying. He's a troublemaker! Once, during a Fifteenth Night defense, their team encountered a Lofty Heaven Demon, and that Sacred Sheep Believer turned and ran away! My brother suffered because of him!"

"Deserting in battle, disrupting military morale, deserves a slow slicing death!"

"This Lu Ran dares to fight, and he hasn't retreated or cried."

"Hehe, just wait, he's a pure waste, and his true colors will be exposed sooner or later."

"You hehe, you ! Always shouting here, I'll slap you to death, you !"

In Liaodong Province, Jinchuan City, inside a civilian residence.

Scarlet Xian'er was furiously typing on the keyboard, her eyes almost spitting fire.

"Typing furiously."

Scarlet Xian'er continued her frantic typing, searching for replacement words.

The Heaven's Pride official livestream had strict censorship, blocking too many words.

"Hmm?" Scarlet Xian'er paused, listening intently.

On the split-screen, Captain Sun Zhengfang suddenly raised his hand to his ear.

"Team 004 here!" Sun Zhengfang responded loudly to his superior, "We're at the West River Park entrance, at the bridge outside the park!"

A male voice came through the headphones, speaking rapidly, "A Night Mirage, River Realm Fourth or Fifth Stage! Go support them at the Artificial Lake!"

"Yes!" Sun Zhengfang responded loudly, looking at his teammates, "Let's go!"

Wei Long, wearing a large red robe, grabbed Sun Zhengfang's waist and quickly took off.

Jiang Ruyi was surrounded by four white jade plaques, and Lu Ran held the Radiant Light Saber, also flying into the night sky.

The artificial lake?

Lu Ran's heart stirred.

He couldn't help but think back to his experience hunting by the Crescent Lake in the Night Demon Cavern before the New Year.

And the last time, when Deng Yujiang was still in the team, they had also dealt with a Night Mirage by the artificial lake.

It seems that the Night Mirage clan really loves lakes!

"Lu Ran!"

"Yes!"

"In a moment, let Big Dragon take the lead, and you, just like last time, attract the Night Mirage's attention." Sun Zhengfang said in a stern voice.

"Uncle Sun, leave it to me!" Lu Ran responded.

Sun Zhengfang's eyebrows furrowed.

Of course, he was willing to give Lu Ran a chance to show his skills.

But the Night Mirage clan is too strong and too dangerous!

Since the command center clearly stated that this Night Mirage is a River Realm Fourth or Fifth Stage, it means that the Night Mirage is highly likely to possess the Evil Art: Night Mirage Shadow!

This type of evil art that splits into three not only can "lock invincibility frames" but also achieve a flashing effect.

Its main body can freely shuttle between clones, and if humans are not careful, their lives will be taken away.

The last time, when the team faced the Night Mirage by the lake, they were only able to resolve the crisis with the help of the Northwind Believer, Deng Yujiang.

But this time...

Should Lu Ran really be the main attacker?

Sun Zhengfang trusted Lu Ran's martial skills.

But Lu Ran's divine art couldn't compare to Deng Yujiang's Northwind Divine Art.

"Uncle Sun, trust me!" Lu Ran said when he saw that the other party didn't respond for a long time. "Before the New Year, I went to the Night Demon Cavern to train."

"Ah?" Sun Zhengfang's expression was one of shock.

No matter what, he wouldn't have thought that Lu Ran would say such a thing.

You... You went to the Night Demon Cavern to train?

Sun Zhengfang didn't think Lu Ran would lie about such a thing, but the problem was...

Was that a place you should have gone to?

And Lu Ran's next words completely stunned Sun Zhengfang.

"I often challenge the Night Mirage clan one-on-one!" Lu Ran replied, "Rest assured, Uncle Sun!

I'm very familiar with the Night Mirage clan."

That's right, Lu Ran was still being cautious in his words!

How well does he know the Night Mirage clan?

Every inch of their bodies, every strand of their hair... Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

But Lu Ran truly understands the Night Mirage very well!

From their bodies to the characteristics of their clan, and even the evil arts of the Night Mirage sect, Lu Ran knows them like the back of his hand.

Sun Zhengfang's mouth twitched.

"I", "Night Mirage", "One-on-One", "Often"...

These words, when put together, were simply not human words!

He subconsciously looked at Wei Long, who was standing next to him.

Wei Long's expression was blank, and even now, no matter what Lu Ran said, he wasn't surprised.

The only problem was that, at this moment, countless viewers were staring at Lu Ran!

As a proud son of heaven, he should be as good as his word!

You can be shameless, but Great Xia cannot!

You are Great Xia's officially certified and carefully selected "One of a Hundred"!

Having said those words, Lu Ran must now provide a satisfactory answer to the world.

"Ah!!!"

A distant scream was heard, causing everyone's hearts to tighten.

Lu Ran, holding the saber and flying, saw the devastated lakeside and also witnessed the Moon Watchers being blown away by the strong wind.

"Baa~~~"

Lu Ran opened his mouth and shouted towards the lake.

"Hmm?" The Night Mirage's figure suddenly froze in mid-air and turned to look.

The string of Night Mirage blades aimed at humans temporarily lost their owner's control, although the force was undiminished, but it flew straight.

The Moon Watchers who were blown away struggled to dodge.

"Swoosh~ Swoosh!" A string of Night Mirage blades grazed past the Moon Watchers' sides.

Scary and dangerous! If not for Lu Ran's timely spellcasting, attracting the Night Mirage's attention, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Huff~"

The Night Mirage took large strides, stepping in the air, and rushed towards Lu Ran in the night sky.

The mysterious hood, the flying black veil, and the black tight night robe

The dazzling Night Mirage blade, flashing with a cold, icy light, and a dangerous aura rushed towards them!

This scene was all captured by Lu Ran's mini-camera.

Because it was a first-person perspective, the immersion was stronger, and people's breathing seemed to stop, their hearts rising to their throats.

It was as if this cruel and dangerous Night Mirage was rushing towards them.

"Tap~"

Lu Ran suddenly raised his hand and tapped the screen of the mini-camera:

"Watch carefully, and learn."

These six short words caused the live stream to explode!

The viewers, realizing what was happening, frantically spammed question marks in the chat.

"???"

"???????"

"How dare you?"

"Don't be reckless, apologize to us, and this will be over. Quick, hide, don't die!"

"Crazy! Are you kidding me? Immortal Sheep Believer, challenging the Night Mirage one-on-one?"

"Here it comes, ya! Don't come over!"

"No! Bro!!!"
