Chapter 265: The Flaming Dog

Chapter 265: The Flaming Dog

"Did he kill it? Is the little dog dead?"

"Yes, he's dead! We won! We won!"

"He's gone crazy! A River Realm believer killed a River Realm Demon Lord?!"

"It was a Third Stage River Realm believer who brutally killed a Peak River Realm Demon Lord!"

"Flaming Dog! Flaming Dog! Flaming Dog!"

"A Peak River Realm Demon Lord? A Demon Lord? Show me your health bar! You'll be done for if I catch you~"

"Why is Lu Ran standing there motionless, as if injured? No, don't!"

The live stream was filled with joy and celebration, while Lu Ran quietly stood by the street, gazing down at the Night Silence Blade.

The Night Silence Blade was made of black radiant stone.

Its body was pitch-black, adorned with mysterious deep purple patterns.

Only under the sunlight would Lu Ran see the deep purple glow emanating from the blade.

But at this moment, in the pouring rain, the Night Silence Blade shone beautifully on its own, its mysterious patterns quietly lighting up with flowing radiance!

"As expected, you're waiting for the right opportunity."

Lu Ran suppressed the joy in his heart, holding the blade in front of him, and carefully examining it.

Killing a River Realm Demon Lord was a bold stroke on his path to ascend.

"Buzz!!!"

The Night Silence Blade trembled violently, water droplets splashing everywhere, as if responding to its master.

At this moment, everyone realized something was wrong! Ge Bin was pleasantly surprised and approached Lu Ran from behind.

"Lu—" He had just opened his mouth when Lu Ran suddenly lifted his head.

This thunderstorm was already heart-pounding and breathtaking.

And now, layer upon layer of rain mist appeared, spreading across the night sky.

A heavenly anomaly?

This was clearly a sign of a Divine Weapon's advancement!

Lu Ran seemed completely unaware, immersed in his own world.

He examined the blade repeatedly, his palm tightly gripping the hilt, his emotions surging.

The blade was an extension of the wielder's thoughts.

It was a physical manifestation of the wielder's mental will!

With Night Silence striving so hard to climb, how could Lu Ran lag behind?

In a short time, he had already entered the realm of 'Unity with the Blade,' leading Night Silence to stride forward.

"Night Silence, Night Silence."

"Night Silence, the name I gave you, is the path we walk together."

"Every fifteenth night, wherever you and I go, the demons of the world will surrender, and all will return to silence."

"Buzz!!!" The violently trembling blade was the best response to Lu Ran.

"You can't advance to a Divine Weapon in the city center." Ge Bin saw the mist in the night sky increasing, and he had no choice but to remind Lu Ran.

Lu Ran snapped out of his trance and turned to look at Captain Ge.

Just then, Liu Yunlan approached, and Lu Ran finally saw her true appearance.

She had a tall figure, wearing a black raincoat, and beneath the hood was a beautiful face.

Her expression was solemn, exuding an air of authority:

"I'll accompany you to the outskirts to assist in your advancement to a Divine Weapon."

As she spoke, a Green Phoenix Branch extended from the wide sleeve of her robe and wrapped around Lu Ran's waist.

Liu Yunlan looked at Ge Bin and said, "You continue to guard this place and inform the command center of the situation."

"Yes!" Ge Bin nodded immediately.

It seemed that Liu Yunlan's rank was higher than Ge Bin's.

"Let's go." Liu Yunlan tugged at the branch tied around Lu Ran's waist.

This word "go" sounded more like "drive."

"Thank you, Senior Liu!" Lu Ran did not refuse her kindness.

He had experienced a Divine Weapon's advancement before and naturally knew that heavenly anomalies would attract a large number of demons.

Thinking back to the last time, when the Radiant Light Saber advanced, it was thanks to the Great Nightmare's assistance that Lu Ran was able to create a relatively stable environment.

Otherwise, the Radiant Light Saber might not have succeeded.

"Phew~"

Lu Ran dared not delay. With one hand holding the Night Silence Blade and the other holding the Cool Night Sword, he flew straight into the night sky.

At the same time, in the western part of Rain Alley City.

On a dimly lit street with street lamps, a girl with a golden talisman ring around her waist suddenly stopped.

"Little Jiang?" Sun Zhengfang was the first to speak up.

The girl slightly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.

Through the Cool Night Sword, she had already learned everything.

"What's wrong?" Sun Zhengfang quickly stepped forward and saw Jiang Ruyi's delighted expression.

Sun Zhengfang's heart stirred, and he tentatively asked, "What about Lu Ran?"

Without waiting for Jiang Ruyi's response, all the Moonwatchers in Rain Alley City received a notification from the command center:

"An announcement: The Demon Lord has been slain!

Repeat, the Demon Lord who descended has been killed by our warriors!

All units, hold your positions and continue your tasks. Midnight is approaching, so stay alert."

"Good! Good!!"

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

"Well done!" For a moment, cheers echoed through the streets and alleys of Rain Alley City.

Compared to the civilians in the city, the number of Moonwatchers was relatively small.

Although there were few of them, the noise they made was not insignificant!

If one didn't put themselves in their shoes, they might not understand just how suppressed and tormented the Moonwatchers were.

The Demon Lord had descended! A River Realm Evil Dog!

And it was an Evil Dog with the ability to teleport!

Every moment of its existence posed an enormous threat.

Once the human powerhouses were defeated or the Evil Dog escaped, no matter where it invaded, the Moonwatchers guarding that area would have to step up.

Risking Their Lives!

Everything that the Moonwatchers protected, including the entire Rain Alley City, their families, and friends, could be easily destroyed.

Now, the Demon Lord has been captured?!

"Hahahaha!" Sun Zhengfang slapped his forehead, his hearty laughter contrasting sharply with the atmosphere of the Fifteenth Night.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore through the night sky, illuminating Sun Zhengfang's ecstatic face.

"I knew it! This kid not only managed to kill the Ghost Night Walkers but also challenged the Demon Lord! Hahaha!"

No one knew who had just slapped themselves and cursed their own bad luck.

"Hehe." Even the usually stern Wei Long couldn't help but smile.

Last year, on the 15th of July, the image of his first encounter with Lu Ran was still vivid in his mind.

At that time, Lu Ran had astonished everyone with his Immortal Hoof in the Blood-Colored Inferno, dodging and weaving with incredible agility.

Wei Long had secretly thought that this unique Divine Sheep Follower might forge a different path.

Indeed, he was so different.

In less than a year, Lu Ran had grown to such heights that he was even qualified to fight alongside Human Powerhouses and slay the Demon Lord.

The joyous atmosphere was broadcast through the cameras, reaching every household.

Although Lu Ran had left the team, the squad's cameras were still rolling.

The various reactions of Sun Zhengfang and the others also left a deep impression on the viewers:

"So infectious? Laughing in the midst of a storm. Well done, worthy of a reward! Cheers!"

"Lu Ran has a great captain."

"Lu Ran even has a great girlfriend! Look how worried Jiang Ruyi was just now, tsk tsk, a beauty that evokes sympathy~"

"No, doesn't Lu Ran have a Divine Weapon? Is there another one?"

"Lu Ran's side is all foggy, can't see anything."

"The Divine Weapon is being upgraded, what are you looking at? Can you understand it?"

"I thought Lu Ran was just shaking his wrist to tease us, but he's actually doing it for real."

Suddenly, Sun Zhengfang's voice came through the screen:

"Little Jiang, is Lu Ran injured? When will he be back?"

"He's not injured," Jiang Ruyi replied with a slight shake of her head.

Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ruyi continued, "But he'll have to wait a long time before he can come back. Let's continue with our mission."

"What do you mean?" Sun Zhengfang's smile froze, and he asked hastily.

Jiang Ruyi's face lit up with a faint smile, her eyes gleaming with a hint of pride:

"Lu Ran's Cool Night Sword is being promoted to a Divine Weapon."

Sun Zhengfang: "Huh??"

Wei Long was also taken aback, genuinely not expecting such a response from the girl.

Jiang Ruyi nodded slightly, confirming, "A senior is accompanying him to the eastern outskirts of the city, near the mountains."

"Good job, kid," Sun Zhengfang muttered. "Did he kill the Demon Lord and make the Cool Night Sword into a Divine Weapon?"

"Mhm," Jiang Ruyi struggled to hide the joy in her heart, "Cool Night said that Lu Ran indeed held the Cool Night Sword and personally beheaded the Demon Lord."

Sun Zhengfang: ". . ."

Wei Long: ". . ."

The impact of this statement was even greater than the shock they had felt when they first received the news of the Demon Lord's capture!

Sun Zhengfang was well aware that there were two Human Powerhouses stationed within the Wuli Building.

He had also anticipated that Lu Ran would assist these Powerhouses, using a unique Divine Art to restrain the Jiang Realm Evil Dog.

But Jiang Ruyi said that

The Demon Lord who descended upon the world was personally slain by Lu Ran?!

Are you fcking with me?!

Sun Zhengfang's mouth hung slightly open, and he foolishly tilted his head back, gazing into the distant sky as if searching for some celestial phenomenon.

Sun Zhengfang was unaware that his expression at that moment was being frantically screenshot by the viewers.

In the future, it would likely go viral online.

You're kidding me?

The reason people were paying extra attention to the trio was precisely because Lu Ran's camera was shrouded in dense fog, and nothing could be seen.

However, they could hear voices: "Focus on the promotion, leave the rest to me."

"Yes! Thank you, Senior Liu!"

Lu Ran expressed his gratitude once more and returned to the eastern outskirts of Rain Alley City, near the mountains.

It was here that his Radiant Light Saber had been promoted.

This glorious tradition must be carried on!

Lu Ran tightly gripped the Cool Night Sword and raised it high.

The mist surging from the heavens began to swirl on its own, transforming into fog tornadoes.

And with the pouring rain, the fog tornado turned into a water tornado, enveloping the man and his sword.

Not far behind Lu Ran, a towering camphor tree suddenly rose from the ground, its lush branches lashing out wildly and enveloping Lu Ran within their protection.

With the branches' shelter, no raindrops fell on Lu Ran, only the dense fog!

"Oh my..."

Lu Ran couldn't help but tremble as he spoke.

In the previous battle, he had indeed consumed a significant amount of Divine Energy.

But at this moment, in just an instant, Lu Ran's entire body was filled with raging energy.

"Buzz!!!"

The Cool Night Sword's vibrations intensified, and Lu Ran nearly lost his grip on it.

Lu Ran concentrated, focusing his mind on leading the weapon in his hand.

Come, Cool Night.

It's time!

It's time to gather the Artifact Spirit and open your eyes.

You find this human Fifteenth Night noisy, too, right?

Don't you?
