Chapter 260: Flame Gate Blade Technique, Second Style!

Chapter 260: Flame Gate Blade Technique, Second Style!

"Do you like this move too?" Lu Ran asked, gripping the hilt of the Night Silence Blade and holding it before his eyes.

"Buzz!"

Compared to last month, the Night Silence Blade trembled much more violently this time.

The buzzing blade even gave Lu Ran a fleeting unrealistic fantasy.

Could it...

Could the Night Silence Blade become a divine weapon?

1 second, 2 seconds... 5 seconds.

The Night Silence Blade gradually quieted down.

But Lu Ran was not disappointed; instead, he was overjoyed.

Was the Night Silence Blade waiting for an opportunity?

Perhaps it was.

It was not like the Radiant Light Saber, which had been with his father for a long time and had been cultivated for many years.

But Lu Ran had already brought it through countless trials and tribulations.

Every fifteenth night, every long training session in the demon caves.

Every time he beheaded an enemy, and time and time again, Lu Ran led it with clarity and showed it the right path.

Even if a martial artist had practiced the sword or wielded the blade for a lifetime, what could they achieve?

Without a direction for growth, a master with inadequate qualities and guidance, a weapon would remain ordinary.

But the Night Silence Blade was different!

It was incredibly compatible with its master, advancing vigorously on the right path.

It had even been nourished by the divine ruins of the Northwind God, a rare occurrence that only happened once in over a decade for the Northwind Blade Sect.

The nourishment it received was significant.

"You'll succeed," Lu Ran said, extending two fingers and gently stroking the cool blade, "I'll help you."

Lu Ran's actions and words were broadcast through the camera into thousands of households.

Even the most foolish could tell that another divine weapon was about to emerge from Lu Tianjiao's hands.

"Am I seeing this right? Did the blade really tremble?"

"At such a young age, having two divine weapons is a bit much, isn't it?"

"The Ghost General has fallen, and the Flame General shall rise! On the fifteenth day, the world will be at peace!"

"No, brother, are you planning a rebellion?"

Over here, Lu Ran stood in the rain, gently caressing the blade.

Far behind him, on the former battlefield, the Ghost General's flag quietly dissipated, and the headless general's body shattered into mist.

Only the charred horse remained, its corpse doused by the pouring rain, extinguishing the flames.

Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long exchanged a glance, seeing a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

The mighty Ghost General had been invincible, challenging others to a duel.

Lu Ran had answered the call and fought in the array, first beheading the horse and then the general.

He had executed the moves in one fluid motion, like mercury pouring onto the ground! Outsiders might not find it impressive, but as the pride of the Great Xia, Lu Ran was expected to perform at such a level.

However, seasoned believers knew just how terrifying the Ghost General's martial arts were. Yet, in front of Lu Ran, this powerful Ghost General had been dominated.

What did this mean? Was the ultimate martial arts technique truly about speed?

Those with keen eyes could see that Lu Ran's speed was not just about pursuing velocity.

He seemed to have gained a new understanding of the rhythm of combat.

Lu Ran was growing! Compared to the 15th of February, his fighting style had already undergone some changes.

This visible growth rate left people stunned.

Especially Lu Ran's final move, "Thunder from the Ground," which made some martial artists shudder.

They asked themselves, if they were in the Ghost General's position, could they react in time?

Could they survive Lu Ran's blade?

"Have you understood something again?" A female voice called out from behind Lu Ran.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned and saw the beautiful smile of a girl.

This scene made many people blush and their hearts race.

Jiang Ruyi was standing too close to the crowd.

But then they realized that Jiang Ruyi was standing very close to Lu Ran, which once again sparked a wave of howls and cries in the live stream.

"Go absorb the remains of the Black Flame Horse," Jiang Ruyi suggested.

"What should we call this move?" Lu Ran sheathed his blade with his right hand, then lightly tossed it with his left, and the Radiant Light Saber spun in the air before automatically returning to its sheath.

The move was executed with great elegance.

Although Jiang Ruyi was not skilled in close combat, she had often accompanied Lu Ran and received his special training, so her eyesight was exceptional.

She clearly understood that Lu Ran was referring to the final move, the fatal strike he had delivered to the Ghost General.

The question was, could this be considered a blade technique?

Jiang Ruyi felt that Lu Ran had developed and applied his body movement skills. As they pondered, the two returned to the battlefield.

Lu Ran removed the divine energy orb from his neck and squatted beside the charred horse's corpse, quickly absorbing its energy.

Unfortunately, only the horse's remains were left.

The formidable Ghost General had shattered into wisps of blue smoke, dissipating into the heavens and the earth.

It had to be said that the Ghost General's Dark Art was a perfect fit for Lu Ran.

As early as this month's training, Lu Ran had sought guidance from the Divine Ram Deity, believing that he lacked two techniques: a purification technique and a mental defense technique.

The Ghost General's Dark Art of the Ghost General's Will was exactly what Lu Ran needed to make up for his shortcomings and no longer be troubled by mental techniques.

The Ghost General's other dark arts were also excellent.

For example, the Ghost General's flag, which created a dark wind, allowed Lu Ran to create a solo challenge arena.

Another example was the technique of summoning the Ghost General's soul, which could greatly enhance one's physical attributes.

It was unclear whether this technique's effects could stack with the Soul Shattering Power, Dark Agility, and other techniques.

If they could, it would be incredible!

Additionally, the Ghost General's Dark Art of the Ghost General's Might was exceptionally compatible with Lu Ran!

This technique was a battle cry that instilled fear in the hearts of his enemies.

Lu Ran's Divine Art of the Immortal Eye could amplify the fear in his opponents' hearts.

Wasn't this a perfect match?

In the future, when facing any enemy, Lu Ran doesn't need to show overwhelming strength or strike fear into their hearts.

The moment he meets an enemy, Lu Ran can unleash a battle cry.

As long as the enemy is affected by this move, his Divine Art of the Immortal Eye can take effect, continuously intensifying the enemy's inner fear!

Until their mental state collapses and they kneel, begging for mercy.

"Not bad, really good," Lu Ran thought, his heart stirring with excitement.

The Ghost General's Might is like a cannonball that cracks a dam, while the Immortal Eye is an endless, surging flood that follows.

With such an excellent combination, will the Great Sheep Immortal acknowledge him? Will he be allowed to venture to another realm sooner?

There are numerous types of demons, but those with mental defense techniques are quite rare.

It seems that the Ghost General clan is indeed a perfect fit for Lu Ran.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, a hoarse roar echoed from a distance.

Lu Ran snapped out of his thoughts and looked up, only to see an ugly demon with a fang-faced appearance standing by the street.

The straw hat and rain cape ensemble suited the rainy night, creating a picturesque scene.

However, the demon's green face under the hat and the long, sharp fangs protruding from its mouth ruined the aesthetic.

"Go," Jiang Ruyi ordered, and a long sword emerged from the wide sleeve of her raincoat, thrusting towards the distant demon.

"I'll go with you," Lu Ran thought, and the Radiant Light Saber unsheathed behind him, stabbing towards the demon.

Jiang Ruyi looked down at Lu Ran and asked, "What are you thinking about? You seem so absorbed."

"I was thinking about the Ghost General's Dark Art," Lu Ran replied honestly, and the Black Flame Horse's corpse in front of him had already been completely absorbed.

He stood up and walked towards the horse's head, saying, "Have you thought of a name for that move yet?"

"You came up with it, so you should name it," Jiang Ruyi said, looking up at the battlefield. Her right hand, hidden in her sleeve, naturally lowered, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

She no longer controlled the Cool Night Sword but was using it to fight the enemy herself.

"Let's name it together," Lu Ran suggested.

"Just say something, and it will inspire me," he added.

On the surface, Jiang Ruyi remained calm, but inside, Lu Ran's words, "Let's name it together," stirred up a storm of emotions.

She felt honored and a little delighted.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Ruyi spoke softly, "Let's follow the previous move's name and add the word 'moon' to it."

Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully, "That's a good idea."

"Hiss!!!"

From a distance, the fang-faced demon let out a miserable shriek, and its body turned to stone.

Jiang Ruyi's finger lightly flicked, and the Cool Night Sword stopped stabbing and hovered above the demon's head.

The Radiant Light Saber also stopped slashing and instead pressed its tip against the demon's heart.

The two divine weapons glared menacingly, waiting for the demon's stone body to return to normal.

If one were to put themselves in the demon's shoes, it would be truly hopeless.

The fang-faced demon's incredibly hard stone body couldn't last long.

Just as the Dark Art of the Stone Body dissipated, Jiang Ruyi's jade finger lightly tapped.

The Cool Night Sword pierced through the straw hat and impaled the demon's skull.

The Radiant Light Saber thrust powerfully, tearing through the rain cape and plunging into the demon's heart.

"Surprise Moon," Lu Ran muttered, looking up at Jiang Ruyi, "Surprise Moon, how does that sound?"

"A surprise that shocks the world?" Jiang Ruyi looked down at Lu Ran, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Yeah, yeah!" Lu Ran nodded repeatedly.

In his mind, he was thinking of the phrase, "Thunder from the Ground."

Taking the word 'surprise' and combining it with 'moon'—how beautiful! Flame Gate Blade Technique, Second Move: Surprise Moon!

"Yeah, it sounds nice," Jiang Ruyi said, raising her hand. As she retracted the Cool Night Sword into her sleeve, she gestured towards the direction of the fang-faced demon, "Go and fill the divine energy."

"Okay!" Lu Ran hurried off.

He didn't know that the scene they had just created would be so impressive in the eyes of the world.

Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi chatted as they effortlessly dispatched the fang-faced demon.

Four words described it perfectly: effortless!

"It does sound nice! Miss, your voice is so beautiful~"

"After seeing the intense battles between the Divine Ram and the Night Charm, this sudden change is unexpected."

"Both of them are Divine Armament Masters; do you think they're just playing around? Demons of lesser strength aren't even worthy of appearing."

"What kind of dream must one have to have a girlfriend like that?"

"Ruyi, Ruyi, follow my heart and quickly leave Lu Ran!"

Lu Ran didn't know that Jiang Ruyi's gentle voice had once again shattered the dreams of countless young men and women.

At that moment, he had just absorbed the energy into the Divine Energy Orb and summoned the ritual tool to collect the demon's soul into the Rebirth Coin.

After completing this, Lu Ran turned and called out to the person behind him, "Let's go, Sun."

"Let's go," Sun Zhengfang nodded, indicating for the two to proceed.

The light drizzle continued to fall.

The bloodstains on the ground gradually washed away.

It was as if nothing had happened here.

Only the cracked asphalt road told the story of the intense battle that had taken place.

"Sigh," Sun Zhengfang breathed deeply, filled with emotion.

He and Lu Ran met once a month.

And every time they met, Lu Ran's strength seemed to soar like a rocket.

It was unimaginable how much he would grow by the next month's meeting.

On the 15th of next month, Lu Ran was scheduled to take the college entrance examination.
