Chapter 305: Rain Alley's Paper Phoenix

Chapter 305: Rain Alley's Paper Phoenix

"It has to be that damn Flame Dog, what a bastard!"

"That scumbag! Playing with the Crimson Paper Person's feelings, damn him! He deserves to die!"

"A strange way to slay demons, indeed."

"Don't you dare try this, folks! Perhaps the Crimson Paper Person has feelings for Lu Ran, but definitely not for you!"

"How pitiful is Ruyi, that weak 'Let him go' makes my heart ache."

Lu Ran was unaware that he had been branded as a 'scumbag'.

He left Jiang Ruyi behind, spread his arms, and walked towards the stunning bride, a scene that was widely screenshot.

For a long time to come, this 'tragic romance' image would flood various corners of the internet.

At this moment, Lu Ran was only concerned with his buzzing mind.

The Crimson Paper Evil Sculpture, ascending to the River Realm!

Could he finally summon the Crimson Paper Person?

He wondered if the Crimson Paper Person produced by his sculpture would harbor covetous intentions towards him, but quickly dismissed the thought.

After all, the Crimson Paper clan's feelings for him originated from the Demon Master.

The Crimson Paper Evil Sculpture in the Sculpture Garden was merely Lu Ran's servant.

"Pfft—"

The headless corpse shattered, transforming into thick mist.

Lu Ran took two steps forward, chest out and head high, the divine energy pearl on his neck glowing faintly as it absorbed energy.

"Incredible, Lu Ran!" Sun Zhengfang exclaimed, his face filled with astonishment as he scrutinized Lu Ran.

Lu Ran shook his head immediately, emphasizing sternly, "This method is not suitable for everyone.

Only I can slay the Crimson Paper Person like this."

His emphasis served as a warning to the viewers of Heavenly Pride, reminding them to be clear about their own identities! Not everyone could be Lu Ran.

To be blunt, even if the Crimson Paper Person favored another human, it didn't mean they could succeed in an ambush.

Love alone was far from enough.

You also needed to be as swift as Lu Ran!

"Oh?" Sun Zhengfang pondered for a moment, then understood the reason.

Everyone knew that Lu Ran had paid homage to a powerful deity at the Altar of Worship.

"Let's go." Lu Ran collected the energy, turned, and strode forward.

His mind still trembled, slightly dazed, so he focused his attention on observing the surroundings.

Fortunately, the night of the full moon had just begun, and the frequency of demon invasions was still low.

Before encountering the next demon, Lu Ran's mind had already completed the advancement of the Evil Sculpture!

He suppressed the joy in his heart, fearing detection.

In the River Realm, the Crimson Paper clan was compatible with a technique called 'Eight-Manned Ghost Palanquin'!

The giant-like palanquin bearers were not only loyal but also possessed formidable combat power.

That grand red palanquin, both classical and luxurious, boasted astonishing defense, leaving Lu Ran drooling!

From now on, he would have his own ride~

"Shh—"

The rain gradually intensified.

Despite this, Rain Alley City still gave off a sense of tranquility.

Team 004 had received few calls for help.

If it weren't for Sun Zhengfang's remark earlier in the morning, "Rain Alley City might not be so peaceful tonight," Lu Ran would have thought that the heavens had opened their eyes for once.

Time ticked by, and Lu Ran's team once again passed by the auto repair shop, reaching the crossroads.

"Creeee—"

"Hmm?"

"What's that?" The team tensed up, looking up into the dark night sky.

A peculiar cry echoed through the darkness, but no demon was in sight.

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed.

High in the dark clouds, a massive shadow flew back and forth, intermittently visible.

"Go." Lu Ran waved his hand, and the Dazzling Nightlight soared into the night sky.

"That cry... a bird-type demon," Jiang Ruyi frowned, trying to observe but lacking night vision.

"It should be a Paper Phoenix," Lu Ran said, his expression grave.

In this world, there were many types of demons, but bird-type demons were indeed rare.

The Demon Paper Phoenix was a formidable and tricky demon.

This clan was also the arch-enemy of the Second-Rank God, the Celestial Phoenix!

"Paper Phoenix!" Lu Ran's pupils constricted slightly.

This time, he was absolutely certain.

High in the night sky, a giant bird emerged from the clouds, under the siege of divine weapons.

It resembled both a phoenix and a peacock, with a feathered crown on its head, a long neck, broad wings, and a graceful figure.

Its snowy white feathers looked like layers of white paper, and its long tail still bore signs of damage.

"Creeee—"

Under Lu Ran's gaze, the Radiant Light Saber pierced its head, and the Night Silence Blade slashed its body.

Just as the divine weapons were about to succeed, the giant Paper Phoenix shattered!

In an instant, countless white paper-like feathers scattered!

Demon Technique: Thousand Paper Phoenixes!

Lu Ran's expression turned grim.

This demon was at least at the River Realm, Third Stage or above, as this technique was compatible with the Paper Phoenix clan at that stage.

"Buzz!"

"Swoosh—" The Radiant Light Saber and Night Silence Blade didn't miss, but they only damaged the paper feathers.

As Lu Ran watched, the scattered feathers regrouped, layering upon each other.

The Paper Phoenix reassembled and reappeared high in the sky.

With such a technique, it was incredibly challenging for two divine weapons to slay a Paper Phoenix.

"Creeee—"

The Paper Phoenix wasn't a pushover either, and it flapped its broad wings forcefully.

In an instant, countless paper feathers rained down on the two divine weapons.

Evil Technique·Thousand Paper Feathers!

In the heavy paper rain, two divine weapons swam upstream, piercing towards the paper phoenix once more.

"Creee~"

The paper phoenix, sensing the danger, dared not engage in direct combat and shattered its body again, transforming into countless paper feathers.

Quite a beautiful sight~

As the two divine weapons pierced through, the paper phoenix repeated its trick, stacking paper feathers to reform.

This time, it didn't scatter endless paper feathers but blew out a thin paper wind beam:

"Creee~"

Evil Technique·Paper Wind Beam!

Countless paper feathers spun, outlining the shape of the wind beam, enveloping the Night Silence Blade.

This wind beam had an incredibly strong impact, blowing the Night Silence Blade away in an instant.

"This is not good." Sun Zhengfang's expression turned extremely solemn.

Once again, Captain Sun thought of his capable general—Deng Yuxiang!

If she were here, she could have taken advantage of the paper phoenix's shattered state and sent a storm its way, not giving it a chance to reform.

Sun Zhengfang sighed inwardly and said, "Xiao Jiang."

"Captain Sun?"

"The paper phoenix is weak to fire. Give it a try." Sun Zhengfang commanded, "It's too far to hit, so let your divine weapon carry the jade talisman."

"Okay." Jiang Ruyi casually summoned the Cool Night Sword, placing it diagonally in front of her.

She took a white jade talisman from the jade talisman array surrounding her and wedged it between the sword's hilt and blade, pointing it upwards with one hand:

"Go! Signal me when you're close!"

The Cool Night Sword obeyed and flew straight into the night sky.

"Creee~"

High in the sky, the massive paper phoenix was still engaged in a battle with the two divine weapons.

Although the fight was lively, neither side could gain the upper hand.

The situation immediately reversed when the Cool Night Sword appeared.

The paper phoenix clan didn't have eyes.

But their sensing ability was quite remarkable, and it was unknown how they perceived the world.

As soon as the Cool Night Sword approached, the paper phoenix spat out a thin paper wind beam.

"Swoosh~"

The Cool Night Sword nimbly dodged.

"Slash!" Lu Ran silently commanded, providing cover for the Cool Night Sword.

The Radiant Light Saber, following its master's order, spun rapidly and slashed towards the paper phoenix's slender neck.

"Huff!!!"

Facing the spinning Radiant Light Saber, the paper phoenix once again displayed its signature move, shattering into countless paper feathers.

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Ruyi received a prompt from the Cool Night Sword.

"Boom!"

Jiang Ruyi's heart stirred, and she immediately detonated the Explosive Flame Charm on the sword's hilt!

In the pitch-black night sky, a blast of air and waves of fire surged! The River Realm·Explosive Flame Charm wasn't just a small-scale explosion; it could also send waves of fire in all directions.

In an instant, countless paper feathers were engulfed by flames, creating a spectacular scene.

"Nice!" Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, holding the girl's icy hand and gently squeezing her palm.

In the night sky, despite the drizzle, the paper feathers continued to burn.

Even above everyone's heads, it seemed like a "fire rain" had fallen.

It was like a special kind of fireworks display.

Jiang Ruyi thought she had succeeded and was admiring the blooming fireworks when she suddenly felt her hand being clenched.

"Creee~!"

The paper phoenix's cry echoed through the night sky again! Previously, the bird's cries had been melodious and beautiful, but now they had become extremely piercing.

Jiang Ruyi searched with the light of the flames, and Lu Ran had already locked onto a small paper phoenix.

Wow~

Lu Ran was secretly amazed.

Was it still alive? He saw that the paper phoenix's body had shrunk by half! Its originally pure white paper feathers were now scorched, torn, and displayed three colors—gray, white, and black.

The small paper phoenix still had sparks on its body, and it flapped its wings vigorously, scattering sparks and ashes everywhere.

"Again!" Lu Ran said in a low voice, catching the returning Night Silence Blade.

"Yes." Jiang Ruyi immediately embedded a white jade talisman on the blade's hilt.

Lu Ran's mind moved, and the Night Silence Blade rushed towards the night sky.

"Remember to tell me." Jiang Ruyi whispered.

"Hmm." Lu Ran's gaze followed the Night Silence Blade, but as he watched, his mouth slightly agape.

High in the distant sky, a large number of paper feathers began to pour down.

That was clearly not something a single paper phoenix could do!

Lu Ran strained his neck, looking towards the dark clouds.

"Master!" The Night Silence Blade's thoughts reached him.

Lu Ran subconsciously squeezed Jiang Ruyi's palm.

"Boom!"

Another explosion sounded, and waves of fire raged.

"The paper phoenix clan, a night march of ghosts?" Lu Ran thought, feeling terrible.

This was the first time he had sensed something amiss before the city's alarm.

Lu Ran's attention wasn't on the Night Silence Blade but on the layers of rain and mist.

One by one, massive paper phoenixes flew back and forth within the cloud layer.

As he watched, even more paper phoenixes broke through the clouds and descended, circling continuously above the city.

"Creee~"

"Creee!!"

The melodious bird cries pierced the night sky, echoing in the city shrouded in light rain.

"What?" Lu Ran's expression turned ugly.

How do you fight this? Whether it's the barbaric Nuba or the Prison Heaven Demon, no matter how powerful the invading race is, I can fight them! But the paper phoenix clan...

How am I supposed to fight them?

Do I have to transform into a Night Demon and battle them in the sky?

"Wuu~~~Wuu! Wuu~~~Wuu!"

A deep alarm sounded, signaling a night march of ghosts!
