Chapter 329: Exposure?

Chapter 329: Exposure?

"Brother!!!"

Qiao Yuansi's voice rang out with excitement and vitality.

Behind her, the Radiant Blade continued to protect her from the arrows on the battlefield, slaying the petty villains who dared to approach.

Qiao Yuansi sprinted over with her short little legs.

Strictly speaking, they weren't short legs.

After all, Qiao Yuansi stood at 1.68m tall with a well-proportioned figure, and should be called long legs.

But she was still his little sister.

Lu Ran always had a filter when looking at Xiao Yuansi.

He always felt that she was still the little tag-along from his younger days.

"You're so amazing! Hold on, I'll praise you in a bit!"

Qiao Yuansi hurriedly ran past Lu Ran.

She quickly summoned a Mystic Fire Cage and then transformed its nature.

Healing Divine Technique·Firefly Cage!

The eight-faced lantern turned into a verdant green, sparkling with specks of light, and flew towards Wang Ling.

"I'm fine."

Wang Ling hurriedly got up.

His long robe's hem had been torn to shreds, and he had been smashed into the ground, indeed suffering a heavy blow.

But Wang Ling hadn't sustained any life-threatening injuries.

Even when he was lying in the pit, he had witnessed Lu Ran's heroic figure throughout.

Lu Ran was so cool! Every gesture and movement exuded the aura of a powerful individual, leaving Wang Ling in awe.

Was this the strength of a River Realm powerhouse? If Lu Ran had taken action to kill the enemy at the first opportunity, Wang Ling's perception might not have been so direct.

The key was that Wang Ling had exhausted all his abilities, only to return empty-handed, and even been outmaneuvered, suffering injuries.

Then there was Lu Ran!

A wisp of mist and a blade.

In a single encounter, the enemy vanished like smoke in the wind!

Among his peers, Wang Ling was undoubtedly at the top in terms of comprehensive qualities.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get into Capital University or join this top-tier team.

When Wang Ling was injured, he immediately realized his mistake!

He was too eager for success!

He wanted to seek rewards.

He also wanted to shine in front of the world.

The combination of these factors led to a slight deviation in his mindset.

The Evil Spear Emperor seized upon Wang Ling's impatience, gaining the upper hand.

As Wang Ling reflected, he also understood the key to Lu Ran's success in battle.

Two words: rhythm!

"Thank you, Brother Ran," Wang Ling said with an extremely serious expression, speaking with utmost sincerity.

As a devout follower of Gunrot, he showed no arrogance or resentment at being rejected, and his attitude was genuinely sincere!

To the ordinary listener, this 'thank you' was for Lu Ran's rescue.

But there was another layer of meaning:

Thank you for the lesson, Brother Ran! Even Lu Ran himself wasn't aware of this.

At that moment, Lu Ran was controlling the Night Silence Sword to slay enemies, and he glanced at Wang Ling.

Wang Ling's slender body stood tall, and even with bloodstained lips and a disheveled appearance, his demeanor resembled a resilient pine tree."

Lu Ran nodded slightly, saying nothing.

His prestige was evident, and any word from him could set a significant rhythm in motion.

Wang Ling had come for rewards,

and the young masters and young ladies of the Capital City had come to gain experience.

Lu Ran was happy to help, as their success would also benefit Qiao Yuansi.

However, Lu Ran hadn't expected Wang Ling's gaze to be so fervent.

What's going on?

Don't tell me you've taken a liking to me?

And over there, Guan Yiren, why do you keep glancing around?

I've been wearing my hat and mask this whole time, isn't that enough? Do I need to close my eyes too?

Fine, I'll... um, close my eyes.

"Brother~"

Qiao Yuansi, seeing that her teammate was unharmed, released the Firefly Cage near the injured and hurried over.

"Hey, Brother?" Qiao Yuansi looked up at Lu Ran, blinking, "Why are you sleeping?"

Lu Ran: "..."

Is that even human speech?

Qiao Yuansi surveyed the battlefield, using the Radiant Fire Cage to shield her teammates while canceling the defenses of some demons.

The Divine Technique·Radiant Fire Cage had immense versatility.

Whether to grant defense to a target was at the caster's discretion.

That was why the Evil Spear Emperor hadn't been covered in crimson-gold light earlier.

As Qiao Yuansi cast her spell, she exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, you're so handsome! Even more handsome than the Evil Spear Emperor!"

Lu Ran smiled, "I'm from the River Realm, and he's from the Stream Realm.

If I fought the Evil Spear Emperor with back and forth, even the people of Great Xia wouldn't approve."

Qiao Yuansi's eyes twinkled as she playfully said, "I was talking about your looks!"

Lu Ran responded to her banter, nodding in agreement, "That's true~"

In terms of looks, they were probably evenly matched.

The Evil Spear Emperor was slightly more handsome.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, was a bit more ruggedly handsome.

But when it came to aura,

no matter how majestic and domineering the Evil Spear Emperor was, he couldn't compare to Lu Ran's immortal-like demeanor.

The viewers were unfortunate not to see Lu Ran's true face.

But Qiao Yuansi had seen it clearly during these past two days at home.

"You're just flattering yourself now?" Qiao Yuansi pouted.

The siblings' conversation reached thousands of households.

In this perilous and life-threatening situation, their playful banter was like a gentle spring breeze, soothing everyone's hearts.

It also gave the world a unique experience.

After all, on other channels, Tianjiao and his teammates were valiantly fighting, stirring people's blood.

But over here, at Lu Ran's side... there was a hint of warmth.

It was almost out of place!

In the previous episode of Heavenly Pride, Lu Ran had forcefully driven away the ghostly night walkers and then went to sleep in the shelter.

While others continued to fight, Lu Ran started live-streaming his sleep.

And it didn't stop there;

Jiang Ruyi even stayed by his bedside all night, causing the fans to howl in frustration.

This...

"My sister-in-law is right! I also think you're the most handsome, Brother-in-Law!"

"Little sister, take off his mask and let me see~"

"The Evil Emperor is dead, long live the Flame Emperor!"

"He just killed a Stream Realm Evil Spear Emperor, and you're already calling him the Flame Emperor? You fans are shameless!"

"No! What's that sound? What the hell?"

"Is that an alarm?"

"Wuu~~~Wuu~~~Wuu~~~"

A deep alarm reverberated through Rain Alley City, making everyone's hearts tighten.

Lu Ran furrowed his brows, listening to the commands in his headphones, and quickly scanned his surroundings.

"Retreat! Retreat and regroup!"

Qiao Yuansi's voice was urgent as he issued the command.

The deep and resounding alarm echoed, making everyone's hearts pound.

Long and short, the crowd of ghosts advanced in an alternating pattern!

"I'll switch to the jungle position." Lu Ran lightly patted Qiao Yuansi's back.

He was comforting his sister, but also entrusting the Radiant Blade.

Lu Ran's gaze was fixed on the street to the left of the Wuli Tower, where a tall and handsome man had appeared.

Demon Emperor of the Evil Spear!

They had arrived.

Countless living bodies, carrying delicious souls, had come to the mortal realm for a feast.

"Hsss—"

Lu Ran's feet stirred up the mist and charged forward.

Before reaching the River Realm, Lu Ran wanted to kill as many enemies as possible while ensuring his own survival.

But now?

What he saw,

Were souls waiting to be harvested.

What he saw,

Was an emperor who would eventually kneel at his feet and submit.

"Hmm?"

The young and handsome emperor frowned slightly, sensing the aggressive approach of the human youth.

The Evil Spear Emperor didn't underestimate his opponent! The instinct of a strong warrior made him face his opponent head-on, and with a swing of his golden spear, a wisp of black mist enveloped the area.

Demon Spell·Evil Cloud Bind!

Three strands of highly intelligent black mist, like living entities, but also like vicious snakes, emerged.

This technique was extremely demonic! Once entangled, the target would be immobilized and unable to move freely.

Those strands of black mist could even penetrate the Water Flow Armor, infiltrate the target's body, disrupt the flow of divine power, and ultimately interfere with the target's spellcasting!

"Hsss—"

Lu Ran suddenly bent down, and his speed increased dramatically!

This move clearly caught the Evil Spear Emperor off guard.

The three black mist snakes lunged forward, and before they could react, Lu Ran had already darted underneath them.

The Evil Spear Emperor's expression changed, and he retreated into the night sky, flying upwards.

"Hsss—"

Lu Ran's feet stirred up the immortal mist.

He could still accelerate?!

Yes,

Mist Grade to Stream Grade, Stream Grade to River Grade.

"Hmph!"

The Evil Spear Emperor let out a cold huff, flying towards the night sky, holding his spear with both hands, ready to strike again with three strands of black mist.

"Hsss—"

The Evil Spear Emperor's expression froze: !!!

Lu Ran's feet exploded with power, propelling him into the air!

River Grade·Immortal Hoof was not Lu Ran's limit.

The vast river,

Had its own River Grade Immortal Hoof!

Three strides and a jump.

Especially the last leap into the night sky, its speed was so fast it was terrifying!

Chasing the wind and following the lightning, like flowing clouds and running water.

Figures crossed paths, and the blade fell.

Lu Ran looked at his landing point in front of him and turned in midair.

On the third floor of the commercial building, Lu Ran crouched steadily on the wall, watching another rapidly assembled figure in midair. Without hesitation, he summoned the immortal mist again!

This time, he didn't need to run for several segments.

As the Evil Spear Emperor appeared,

The Eight Directions Saber beheaded him!

The viewers in front of the screen were all dumbfounded!

The name Evil Spear Emperor was given by humans, and it was well thought out.

The character 'Di', not only represented the demonic nature of the demons.

But also indicated that this race was unparalleled in martial arts and was a master of spear techniques! The problem was,

Why did this terrifying Evil Spear Emperor seem like a bamboo wood demon in front of Lu Ran?

Anyway, it was just a matter of facing each other!

It's not like there's any difference!

"I thought that soul-stirring slash was the peak, but I didn't expect it to be just the beginning."

"When I saw you, you were already dead."

"Too fast, Ran! It's really too fast, slow down a bit, I can't take it anymore!"

"No! Where am I? I was just at the Wuli Tower, how did I end up at the bank entrance again?"

"Expose? Expose and kill!"

"Hehe~ Just kidding! Even without exposing, it's still a kill~"

At the same time, in the center of the square.

The four-person group in the retreating formation looked bewildered at the immortal mist surrounding the square.

The speed of the River Grade·Immortal Hoof was almost too fast for their eyes to keep up!

Only the wisps of immortal mist,

Traced Lu Ran's movements.

Wherever he passed, there were bones left behind.

After advancing to the River Realm, Lu Ran rarely dodged.

As long as the Evil Spear Emperor didn't release the black mist right away,

Whether it was the robe he swept or the spear he thrust, Lu Ran would just casually brush it aside.

Wang Ling: "..."

This guy's a bit crazy.

No!

What am I even getting a reward for? Of course, Wang Ling was clear that such powerful demons could cause devastating damage to buildings in just a few seconds!

Lu Ran was willing to do a favor and bring people to the Heavenly Pride, but the premise of it all was to protect Rain Alley.

So, Lu Ran wouldn't deliberately overlook enemies in his line of sight.

The crowd of ghosts still had a long way to go!

With this lesson learned, Wang Ling calmed down, knowing that he would eventually find an opportunity.

In his line of sight, Lu Ran suddenly stopped and looked up at the night sky.

An Evil Spear Emperor, standing on a black cloud, was both surprised and angry, looking down at Lu Ran below.

"Come down."

Lu Ran waved at the Evil Spear Emperor.

In the face of absolute strength, the Evil Spear Emperor lost the pomp and circumstance befitting an emperor.

He didn't come down.

Instead, he directly summoned dark clouds, intending to use countless spears to pierce Lu Ran to death.

Lu Ran smirked, but the Evil Spear Emperor's clan had their defenses up, and bleating was useless.

Far away, Wang Ling nodded in agreement.

That's right, Brother Ran couldn't fly.

I'll go kill the one in the sky later!

"Hsss!"

Wang Ling's expression froze!

A black shadow suddenly appeared in the night sky, and a spear pierced through the Evil Cloud Robe, impaling the Evil Spear Emperor's chest and lifting him high.

Gun Rot Follower·Wang Quan!

He stood on two small white clouds, holding up the demon's corpse, and looked down at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran tipped his hat brim upwards, gazing at the rugged man with a beard and mid-length hair blowing in the wind.

"Hoo~"

The next moment, Wang Quan dashed through the air.

His figure was like a phantom, appearing in various parts of the square!

In the sky and on the ground, north, south, east, and west.

Covering the entire square area.

It even gave people the illusion that there were several Wang Quans present at the same time.

Wang Ling almost cried!

Uncle, Uncle,

It's me, your nephew.
