Chapter 218: Kill!

Chapter 218: Kill!

"Lu Ran!"

Jiang Ruyi gracefully landed, half-kneeling beside Lu Ran, supporting his arm.

"Ugh," Lu Ran grimaced, kneeling on the ground, feeling like his whole body was about to fall apart.

What a powerful Demon·Puppet Shadow!

What a formidable Evil Spell: Puppet Charm!

It was so powerful.

As a human, Lu Ran naturally didn't want to see the demons' strength increase.

But as the 'Garden Master' of the Demon Sculpture Garden, the more terrifying the Puppet Shadow's power, the stronger Lu Ran's servants would be.

In the future, the Flame Gate's influence would also grow stronger!

There was another point that made Lu Ran secretly regretful.

That Puppet Charm was too heavy; wearing it would seriously hinder Lu Ran's speed.

By now, Lu Ran's combat style had already been established, with the core being one word—fast!

Once he put on the Puppet Charm, Lu Ran would be like destroying his own Great Wall.

The more he thought about it, the more Lu Ran felt regretful.

Who wouldn't want to wear that crimson-colored dress and show off a little?

Indeed, there was no in-between with cross-dressing.

Ever since wearing the Night Mirage Robe, Lu Ran didn't care about such feminine and sexy red dresses anymore.

As long as it enhanced his combat power, that was good enough!

Who cares what I wear~

"Are you okay?"

The girl's soft voice carried a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Lu Ran." Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long rushed over, "Where are you injured?"

"I'm not injured." Lu Ran reached out towards the camera not far away, muttering, "It just hurts a bit."

His muttering mixed with the pattering rain entered thousands of households.

People found it both amusing and heart-wrenching.

Such words seemed out of place for a Heaven's Pride?

Other participating students were doing their best to show their strong and resolute side.

But from Lu Ran's mouth came the words, "It hurts a bit"?

If Lu Ran had said these words earlier, he might have been scolded to death!

After all, he was one of the hundred carefully selected by Great Xia. In a sense, he represented Great Xia's reputation.

Just before Lu Ran said these words, he had braved the Gate of Death and rescued his comrade!

The bullet chat in the channel was layered, but few had any criticism of Lu Ran.

Instead, there were more people expressing their admiration and praise.

"Flame God is so genuine! Not pretending at all!"

"He's shouting about the pain, but he didn't back down when facing the Underworld Palace?"

"It seems the Puppet Shadow is much more powerful than the Night Mirage. Look how it's making the kid cry, bleating like a sheep."

"Rescuing people and fighting enemies are not the same level of difficulty. How many people can survive when controlled by the Puppet Shadow?"

"That's true! The Crimson Bandana Believer was lucky to have survived."

"I was watching the live stream and kicking my Immortal Sheep Believer husband. He was kneeling and crying, but he didn't dare to resist. He has no backbone at all, making me so angry!"

"Lu Ran is the one who brought the Crimson Paper Person Believers! He humbly joined the Sacred Sheep Sect, so he can't be compared to those useless ones."

"With a few more Heaven's Pride, the ranking of Great Xia's gods will likely change."

Just as Lu Ran finished putting on the camera, a surge of energy suddenly emanated from above.

The proximity allowed several teammates to sense it as well.

Everyone tensed up, but they saw that amidst the surging energy, a string of Great Xia characters floated out.

Moon?

Each 'moon' character glowed with a pale light, like the bright moonlight.

The group relaxed, and except for Sun Zhengfang, they all took a step back, allowing the string of 'moon' characters to surround Lu Ran.

Seer Divine Spell: Moonlight Charm!

This spell had extraordinary effects, infusing life force into the target and accelerating wound healing.

"Thank you, thank you all."

The Seer Believer, from a distance, approached, her eyes brimming with tears, her voice choked with emotion.

Sun Zhengfang placed his hand on Lu Ran's body, and a gentle green light emanated from his palm as he carefully examined Lu Ran's body:

"Bring your two teammates, and we'll take you to the nearest shelter."

"Captain Sun!" The Green Phoenix Believer also rushed over, releasing numerous branches from his hand, wrapping around the unconscious Nuo Sha Believer and Crimson Bandana Believer.

As residents of Rain Alley City, they naturally recognized the higher-ups from Yunshan City.

Their gazes fell on Lu Ran's body.

Grateful, admiring, relieved, and fearful.

It was hard to imagine that such complex and intense emotions could exist on one person's face.

If you put yourself in their shoes, before the patrol team arrived, what kind of despair filled their hearts?

Perhaps they were about to be tormented to the point of mental breakdown by the Demon·Puppet Shadow.

"A near-death experience brings good fortune," Lu Ran said solemnly to the two.

"Mmm." The Seer female believer nodded repeatedly, covering her eyes with one hand, already sobbing uncontrollably.

A simple sentence, but it caused the woman's emotions to erupt.

People didn't know that this Seer female believer and the Crimson Bandana Believer were a married couple.

Hot tears flowed from between her fingers, and this middle-aged woman looked like a fragile child at this moment.

"We mustn't delay!" Sun Zhengfang withdrew his hand and commanded, "Let's go!"

With that, the six-person team quickly moved out with two unconscious wounded members.

Along the way, Sun Zhengfang spoke solemnly, "Let's change our tactics!"

Everyone perked up and listened attentively.

Sun Zhengfang spoke quickly, "Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi, you two have divine weapons, and we must make good use of this advantage.

First, let your divine weapons fly up and stay in the air, giving them enough distance to charge."

"Yes!"

"Yes," Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi responded simultaneously.

Sun Zhengfang continued, "If we encounter the Puppet Shadow again, I'll immediately summon the Green Phoenix Tree and release as many branches as possible.

Using a large number of branches, the enemy's red silk threads are pulled, forming the main battlefield. Big Dragon!"

"Yes!"

"As soon as I open the main battlefield here, you'll cut in from behind the Puppet Shadow!" Sun Zhengfang ordered, "Directly activate the Divine Spell: Bloodstorm Chaos and tear off her clothes!"

"Yes!"

Sun Zhengfang turned to Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi, "You two, seize the opportunity, control the Divine Weapon, and kill the Puppet Shadow."

A series of commands were issued, each one precise and orderly.

Sun Zhengfang demonstrated the qualities of a competent warrior. After two battles, he formulated a battle plan based on the characteristics of his team members.

In this plan, Wei Long became a crucial link.

Sun Zhengfang sighed inwardly: If only Big Dragon had Lu Ran's agility, he could penetrate the red silk formation more swiftly and increase the success rate.

But how could one have it all?

Lu Ran, a Sacred Sheep Believer, did not possess a soft control technique like 'Bloodstorm Chaos'.

Jiang Ruyi suddenly spoke up, "I can maintain continuous output and attract the red silk threads from another direction, reducing Wei Long's pressure."

Lu Ran added, "I'll go over there and make noise, ensuring that the Puppet Shadow's attention is on me."

The effective defense distance of the Evil Technique: Puppet Charm was 30 meters, but the attack distance of the Evil Spell: Silk Threads was far beyond 30 meters!

Lu Ran had just witnessed the pitiful sight of a Red Veil Believer being entangled by red silk threads and controlled by demons.

He was determined not to let this happen to Wei Long.

"Good!" As soon as Sun Zhengfang finished speaking, a flute melody could be heard.

The melodious flute sound, however, was grating to the ears of the crowd.

For a moment, everyone's expressions changed.

Lu Ran was no exception, and his face turned even more grim.

Undoubtedly, there was a Jade Flute Believer nearby.

On the battlefield, Lu Ran dreaded encountering such allies!

The Sixth Rank God, Jade Flute, had a sculpture of a man in a white robe with fluttering sleeves, exuding a gentle and elegant temperament.

As a stone sculpture, he held a stone flute in his hand.

But through the divine shadow and his self-proclaimed name, everyone knew that the flute was made of an unknown white jade.

The Jade Flute Sect was not skilled in output, but they excelled in support.

This grating flute sound was barely considered an output technique, capable of disturbing people's minds and even causing mental confusion.

Forcing a Jade Flute Believer to this extent was enough to show that the opponent was experiencing a life-and-death moment!

After all, this flute sound made no distinction between friend and foe!

In other words, either the Jade Flute Believer disregarded their teammates' lives, or the Moon Watchers team, except for the Jade Flute Believer, had all perished!

Either situation was enough to plunge everyone's hearts into despair.

"Hmm?"

At the crossroads, a red-skirted woman was rubbing her wet hair, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, emitting a soft nasal sound.

Her every movement exuded a charming allure.

The furrowed eyebrows made her even more endearing.

The flute sound had a certain effect on her.

But it didn't stop her from continuing her journey!

A few dozen meters ahead of her, a Moon Watcher held a phantom flute, his face filled with sorrow, continuously playing the flute.

"Boom!"

Puppet Shadow's jade feet stepped onto the wet asphalt road.

Perhaps due to the heavy red skirt, her movements were accompanied by a dull sound.

Suddenly, the swaying red threads in the sky descended.

Her feet were covered by the long skirt, and her steps forward no longer made heavy sounds.

Puppet Shadow canceled the Evil Technique: Puppet Charm.

Although her clothing didn't seem to change, the tattered long skirt had already become a mundane item, no longer heavy.

Just like the Night Phantom Technique: Night Mirage Robe.

Before you slash Night Mirage with your sword, it's hard to tell with the naked eye whether Night Mirage has cast the Evil Technique: Night Mirage Robe.

Whether it's Night Mirage or Puppet Shadow, their appearances are naturally like this.

"Hmm~"

The grating flute sound made Puppet Shadow's head ache.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and her red pupils stared fixedly at the human ahead. The next moment—

"Huff!"

Puppet Shadow darted forward, light and graceful.

She reached forward, and from her fingertips, five thin red silk threads shot out, piercing the Jade Flute Believer!

The Demon: Puppet Shadow itself wasn't slow, but it was limited by the Puppet Charm.

The Jade Flute Believer abruptly widened his eyes, and the flute sound abruptly stopped!

The crimson shadow hadn't arrived, nor had the silk threads.

But her pair of red pupils, emitting a faint glow, had unknowingly intertwined with the Jade Flute Believer's gaze.

Evil Technique: Puppet Eye!

An evil technique that could drag people into an illusion world, a terrifying skill that could torment and torture people.

The more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was.

This woman, full of allure, was deadly all over, and touching her meant instant death!

The Jade Flute Believer didn't even have the chance to flee and was directly frozen in place, his face stiff as if turned to ash.

Puppet Shadow hooked her lips, revealing a cruel smile.

"Baa!!!

"Hmm?" Puppet Shadow abruptly turned her head and saw the human rushing towards her.

Lu Ran's face turned ashen, looking at the three twisted corpses at the crossroads.

One of the headless corpses lay alone, its neck still bleeding.

Adding to the irony, above the headless corpse, a broken oracle sign was still floating.

Even if this Oracle Sign Believer died, the broken sign didn't disappear.

The other two corpses were entangled, as if they had killed each other.

"Kill!" Sun Zhengfang was both shocked and furious, his voice harsh.

"Sizzle—"

Lu Ran's heart was filled with raging anger, and the mist beneath his feet churned!

He clenched the Night Silence Blade and charged forward:

"Baa!!!
