Chapter 276: Forbidden Love
Chapter 276: Forbidden Love
The night in Rain Alley was calm, without wind or rain. But the onslaught of the demons was like a raging storm.
Lu Ran's squad stood in the center of the plaza, fending off the demons attacking from all directions.
The soldiers stationed around them went from initial worry to admiration and then to awe.
The five-person team worked in perfect harmony, advancing and retreating together.
Tian Tian commanded the center of the formation, while Jiang Chang and Deng Yutang took up positions at three different points, forming an equilateral triangle.
Lu Ran moved freely around the perimeter, supporting each of them, and his fighting was fierce.
"Ya~!"
Chang Ying shouted, swinging her axe with great force. She suddenly retreated, holding a sign tube in her left hand, shaking it vigorously, and chanting:
"Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Spirit Sign, please grant me an offensive sign and a summoning sign!"
"Swoosh!"
A sign flew high into the air.
Chang Ying's face fell, her hopes dashed.
It was the Eight Treasure Sign of the Broken Sign!
The worn-out wooden sign immediately flew down, circling around Chang Ying.
"Get lost!"
Chang Ying swatted it away with a slap, sending the broken sign flying several meters away.
But like an annoying fly, it circled back, continuing to taunt Chang Ying.
Moreover, it deliberately blocked her vision, causing more trouble.
"Pray immediately, don't let it affect your focus!" Lu Ran's voice came from a distance.
The Radiant Light Saber quickly arrived, apparently sent by Lu Ran to assist Chang Ying.
"Yes!" Chang Ying responded loudly, suppressing the disgust and dissatisfaction in her heart, and prayed to the deity of the Spirit Sign.
When facing Lu Ran, Chang Ying always listened.
"Heh," Lu Ran breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He activated the Divine Technique: Eyes of the Dead Realm, watching as the demons' souls were sucked into his eyes.
The feeling was indescribably satisfying.
"Ahhhh!"
Suddenly, an angry female voice echoed through the night sky.
A massive creature fell from above, landing heavily on the ground.
Lu Ran turned his head immediately, his eyes widening in surprise.
Wasn't this 'Pro Chang Ying'?
After fighting so many demon minions, it was time for a small boss to appear.
The creature stood about three meters tall, exuding a sense of immense pressure.
It wore a shattered stone armor, exposing patches of ancient bronze skin, proudly displaying its curvaceous figure.
Its crimson long hair danced wildly, and its crimson eyes were filled with murderous intent.
It was a member of the Savage Famine Fiend clan!
"Famine Fiend!"
"Be careful of her sand blade!" Warnings rang out.
Among them, Lu Ran's voice was heard: "Big Chang Ying is here!"
Chang Ying: ???
If she was Big Chang Ying, then what was I?
A little barbarian girl?
Chang Ying, standing at 1.9 meters tall, couldn't be described as 'little' in any way.
But in front of the Famine Fiend, Chang Ying was indeed quite small.
"I'm here!" Lu Ran shouted, blocking Deng Yutang's path.
"Be careful, Lu Ran," Deng Yutang said gravely, focusing on activating his water flow armor.
"Let's kill it," Lu Ran said, catching the flying Night Silence Blade and twirling it.
Deng Yutang: '.'
What was he doing with the plastic bag at this critical moment?
Deng Yutang didn't know that Lu Ran was preparing something.
As he spoke, a black flame ignited behind his cold, horizontal pupils.
Black Lantern Spell: Cage Flame!
"Heh," the Famine Fiend smirked, holding her battle axe and striding forward.
Her audacity and dominance made everyone's hearts tremble.
A crisp 'ding' sounded.
The Famine Fiend lifted her axe and deflected the incoming Cool Night Sword.
Not far away, Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
The white jade tablet stuck on the sword hilt suddenly shattered.
"Puff!"
Jade Talisman Spell: Ice Frost Talisman!
In an instant, endless frost and snow engulfed the Famine Fiend, covering her body.
The question was, why didn't Jiang Ruyi use the Divine Technique: Lightning Shackling Talisman?
Because the Famine Fiend was immune to lightning damage and control!
Jiang Ruyi, the top student, had a strong knowledge foundation.
She knew that the Savage Famine Fiend clan's Obscure Technique: Rice Needle granted them terrifying power.
And this power was drawn from the earth.
This unique method of casting also gave the Famine Fiend other frightening abilities.
Immunity to lightning damage was one of them.
"Haha! Hahahaha!" The Famine Fiend laughed wildly, her arrogance knew no bounds.
Anyone could tell that she was mocking the weakness and incompetence of humans.
With her barbaric strength, she shook off the frost and snow, but in the next moment, her laughter abruptly stopped.
There were five small figures in front of her, but where did they go?
Where were they?
The Famine Fiend was completely stunned!
She had already imagined the taste of fresh blood and tender flesh, but the delicious meal before her had disappeared?
Yes, it had vanished.
At least in the Famine Fiend's world, humans had disappeared!
"Tsk—"
Divine mist surged beneath Lu Ran's feet, and his horizontal pupils fixed on the Famine Fiend's crimson eyes.
The Famine Fiend clan had formidable physical strength and explosive offensive power.
But their weakness was also evident: their mental fortitude was severely lacking!
Back when Lu Ran was in the Stream Realm, he could make the River Realm Famine Fiend fall for his tricks within a short time.
Now, Lu Ran had reached the River Realm, and the dark art he used was of the River Realm!
"Heh," Lu Ran also snorted.
Big Chang Ying.
Meeting me, how will you survive?
"Ahhhh!" The Famine Fiend wildly swung her axe.
In the illusion world constructed by Lu Ran, a divine weapon suddenly appeared beside her right hand.
In the real world, the Radiant Light Saber appeared in the same position, piercing towards the Savage Famine Fiend.
The only difference was that in the real world, Lu Ran also charged straight ahead!
Just as the Savage Famine Fiend's battle axe swung past, Lu Ran had already reached her left side!
The Savage Famine Fiend was indeed powerful!
Even in the illusion world, with nothing in front of her, she still sensed the danger.
With her keen combat instincts, she suddenly retreated.
But it was too late.
Although he was called a little lamb, he wasn't a vegetarian!
"Chiiii—"
Lu Ran stomped his foot heavily, and his figure shot up, slashing diagonally through the night sky.
There was no other choice; facing a three-meter-tall demon, a tiny human like him had to jump to reach their head.
In an instant, Lu Ran's figure crossed paths with the Savage Famine Fiend!
The Night Silence Blade, positioned at his side, flashed with mysterious deep purple patterns, beheading a huge head.
"Ah??"
"Holy sht?!"
"What the...?" The Moonwatcher squads guarding various areas all witnessed this scene.
With just one glance, Lu Ran had slaughtered the Savage Famine Fiend?
It was known that the overall strength of the Savage Famine Fiend clan was three points stronger than the Heaven Shackling Demon clan!
And Lu Ran...
Fast!
Truly too fast!
The blade was fast, but the person was even faster!
"Mm." Chang Ying, upon seeing this, couldn't help but shrink her neck.
In the future, when facing Lu Ran, she would have to be more obedient.
He was so scary.
"Huff~"
Lu Ran landed steadily, facing the battlefield, and slid backwards.
Easy?
Impossible.
Did he really think that speed was all it took?
How much pain and memories were hidden within this seemingly simple slash?
Last year, during the lunar October, Lu Ran had barely survived the night of the Savage Famine Fiend's Night Parade of Ghosts.
Lu Ran was well-acquainted with the Savage Famine Fiend's combat habits and tendencies.
He was even more aware of this clan's fatal weakness and took advantage of it, resulting in this effortless display!
Undeniably, the Savage Famine Fiend was indeed more ferocious than the Heaven Shackling Demon.
But if Lu Ran were to face the Heaven Shackling Demon, it would be a tough battle.
The Heaven Shackling Demon's six hands were a significant counter to Lu Ran.
And Lu Ran's Illusion: Cage Flame was very effective against the Savage Famine Fiend.
"Above you, Lu Ran!" Deng Yutang shouted, his voice echoing throughout the venue.
Lu Ran was startled and looked up.
In the distant night sky, a large red figure appeared.
Lu Ran continued to slide backwards, and his observation angle kept changing.
Under the full moon, the beautiful red figure was gradually encircled by the moonlight.
"Ding-a-ling~ Ding-a-ling~"
The night breeze gently brushed past, and a pleasant sound came from the phoenix crown.
The red vermilion robe fluttered gracefully, like a red sea wave, flowing and undulating.
The Crimson Paper Person of the Demon Clan!
"Crimson Paper..." Lu Ran pursed his lips, gazing at the exquisite figure.
Honestly, apart from her pale face, he couldn't find any flaws in her.
She was dignified and elegant, with a graceful demeanor.
The Crimson Paper Person stood tall, not rushing to attack. Her beautiful eyes roamed, as if selecting her prey.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing Lu Ran's figure, the Crimson Paper Person's eyes suddenly focused! From then on, her gaze never left Lu Ran.
"Gulp." Lu Ran's throat twitched.
This month, he had also gone to Vermillion Village for training.
Lu Ran had seen this look in the Crimson Paper Person's eyes too many times.
But no matter how many times he saw it, Lu Ran struggled to get used to it.
First, he was surprised, then delighted.
Finally, it was an unconcealed, extreme possessiveness.
As long as the battle lasted long enough, Lu Ran would always sense the cruelty that inadvertently flashed in her eyes.
It was a terrifying desire to inflict pain, making Lu Ran's bones chill!
He couldn't imagine that if, one day, he truly fell into this bride's hands, what kind of torment and pain would await him!
Lu Ran also struggled to understand why, if she wanted to possess him so much, she would have such a cruel gaze.
Wasn't this a classic case of yandere?
"Hmm?" Lu Ran's gaze shifted slightly downward, his eyes looking into the distance. In the middle of a building, he spotted another red figure.
This...?
Was it close to midnight?
Had the frequency and intensity of demon invasions into the world increased?
But the Crimson Paper Person clan was very rare, and two of them had appeared in a row.
"Behind you, Lu Ran!" Deng Yutang's face paled, his gaze sweeping past Lu Ran and towards the Wuli Tower.
Lu Ran finally stood firm and turned around.
When he saw the demon clearly, Lu Ran's pupils contracted!
Another Crimson Paper Person stood at the main entrance of the Wuli Tower.
Her hands were clasped in front of her, resting on her waist, and her posture was dignified.
"Wuu! Wu~~~ Wu! Wu~~~"
A deep alarm sounded abruptly, piercing through the vast night, echoing in Rain Alley City.
Long and short, the Night Parade of Ghosts!
"Sister, stop messing around, I'm taking the college entrance exam!"
Lu Ran felt his scalp tingle, and his small face turned pale.
This complexion matched well with the Crimson Paper Sister.
"Oh no!" Jiang Ruyi's expression changed abruptly.
Among those present, only Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi knew what the Night Parade of Ghosts of the Crimson Paper Person clan truly meant!
When other demon races conducted the Night Parade of Ghosts, they would at least kill anyone they saw.
But the Crimson Paper Person clan was different!
Wherever Lu Ran was, their eyes would only have him in their sights!
Good News:
There are countless women in this world who deeply love Lu Ran.
Bad News:
As far as the eye can see, they're all paper people!
