Chapter 330: As I Said!

Chapter 330: As I Said!

Lu Ran observed for a moment, his keen senses detecting a pattern.

The Cloud Shadow Divine Technique, also known as teleportation, actually had a "casting animation" before activation!

Each time Wang Quan teleported, he would either take a step in one direction or slightly lean his body.

No matter how brief or subtle this casting animation was, it was real.

With Lu Ran's observational skills,

he could naturally predict Wang Quan's teleportation direction.

It seemed that the Evil Dog Shadow Flash Technique was more advanced than the Cloud Shadow Divine Technique? The fine dogs showed no inclination when they initiated teleportation.

"Hmm," Lu Ran nodded silently.

Case solved!

Gunrot disciples are inferior to dogs! Rounding it off, Gunrot disciples are no better than me. Huh?

Something feels off.

Unimportant!

Lu Ran's gaze shifted to the distance, observing the surroundings.

On the square, the River Realm Grand Master Wang Quan was holding the fort, so there was no need to worry for the time being.

Lu Ran, of course, wasn't idle. He focused his gaze, and in the not-so-distant sky, he saw dark clouds gathering.

That couldn't be allowed!

"Ssss—"

Lu Ran's feet stirred up Immortal Mist, and he unleashed his full power!

The cityscape flew past on both sides as Lu Ran took the people of Great Xia on another rollercoaster ride.

"Careful!"

"I'll hold off the Evil Spear Emperor! You hold the umbrella!" On the rooftop of a four-story building, a Savage Drum Disciple shouted.

Beside the man, a female Moon Gazing follower immediately raised a light red oil paper umbrella.

The paper umbrella was light and thin as a cicada's wing.

Beautiful flowers were printed on it, exuding elegance.

Clearly, this was a Third Rank Deity, a Flower Support Believer!

In this small Rain Alley City, such believers were rare.

She must be a new recruit?

"Don't hit it!!"

A voice, carrying a hint of authority, approached from a distance.

The Savage Drum believer paused with the drumstick in his hand and turned to look, seeing a figure rushing towards them at high speed.

Lu Tianjiao?

The Savage Drum Disciple wasn't the least bit annoyed; instead, he felt delighted.

In this cursed place, there was a very special existence.

His mere presence could bring a sense of calm to people's hearts and boost the team's morale!

Lu Ran!

Great Xia's First Tianjiao!

The uncrowned king of Rain Alley!

To put it bluntly, even if Liu Yunlan or Ge Bin were here, they wouldn't have such a powerful effect.

"Borrow your umbrella!"

Lu Ran's voice drew closer.

Before the female Moon Gazing follower could react, the oil paper umbrella in her hand was borrowed.

"Huff!"

The figure swept by with the wind.

She quickly looked up and saw Lu Ran already charging towards the night sky!

"Lu Ran."

The Savage Drum Disciple's eyes burned with fervor.

The Flower Support Believer's eyes were equally intense.

In the sight of several Moon Gazing followers, Lu Ran held the oil paper umbrella, wielding the Eight Extremes Annihilation Blade in one hand, and charged towards the Evil Spear Emperor in the sky.

His hat was long gone, who knows where it had fallen.

Only the black mask remained, his short, messy hair blowing in the wind.

Above him were rolling dark clouds.

Countless sharp spear tips filled the sky!

So, was Lu Ran going to use the oil paper umbrella to defend against the falling spears? The female Moon Gazing follower subconsciously cast a spell, infusing divine power into the oil paper umbrella to ensure it wouldn't break in Lu Ran's hand.

Her first choice was not to protect herself or hold another umbrella? It was known that the Moon Gazing followers were also under the dark clouds.

"Hmm?"

The Evil Spear Emperor's eyebrows furrowed, and he turned to look.

The terrifying aura of the human youth made the Evil Spear Emperor dare not take it lightly.

He stepped on a black cloud and suddenly sidestepped several meters.

The Evil Spear Emperor lifted the dark gold spear and fiercely swept it towards Lu Ran.

As the saying goes, one inch long, one inch strong!

The 2.5-meter-long spear could easily slice through Lu Ran, cutting him in half!

But Lu Ran changed his move!

The oil paper umbrella in his hand transformed into a small boat in the night sky.

"Ssss—"

Lu Ran stepped onto the paper umbrella, and the Immortal Mist beneath his feet surged as he abruptly changed direction, charging towards the Evil Spear Emperor!

Evil Spear Emperor: !!!

The sweeping spear was easily brushed aside.

The figures crossed paths.

The sharp Eight Extremes Annihilation Blade beheaded the Evil Spear Emperor.

The rolling dark clouds slowed, and the spear tips in the clouds shattered one after another.

"Haha!" The Savage Drum believer burst into hearty laughter, no less exuberant than the Red Turban believer.

He clenched the drumstick and pounded it on the drum in front of him.

This was both a celebration for Lu Ran and a way to boost morale and inspire everyone!

"Boom!"

"Ssss—" Lu Ran drew in a cold breath, his face turning pale.

His head was buzzing!

Brother,

I told you not to hit it!

The Evil Spear Emperor couldn't kill me, but you Savage Drum and Jade Flute believers could torture me to death!

"Ssss—"

Lu Ran quickly retreated, leaving behind a rapidly disappearing silhouette for the few people.

In the eyes of the Moon Gazing followers, Lu Ran was incredibly graceful!

He left without a trace.

Only Burn Dog himself knew that his dog head was almost shaken senseless.

He needed to leave this place of trouble.

There was no choice; the River Rank Evil Wisdom was too sharp.

He finally understood how the little dog felt when he heard the thunderclap a few months ago when he killed the River Realm Evil Dog.

It was so damn refreshing~

"Oh, Burn Dog is so fast! If only my girlfriend could be this quick when shopping~"

"Which street is this, and where am I?"

"Instead of delivering food and becoming famous, you're just a little Tianjiao here?"

"No, no, I can't take it anymore. I'll go see my little cousin."

"Burn God is so doting on his sister, leaving both divine weapons to her. I want a brother like that too, wuwu~"

At the same time, on the north side of the square.

Lu Ran rarely stopped, and his eyes had already transformed into vertical pupils.

Netherworld Pupil Technique!

Behind Lu Ran stood a headless corpse.

The Evil Spear Emperor's soul was automatically summoned.

As the Evil Spear Emperor's body shattered into mist, Lu Ran also raised the divine power bead around his neck to replenish his energy.

In his sight, the Capital University team was valiantly fighting the enemy.

With Wang Quan guarding this place, the pressure on the Capital University team suddenly decreased, and their performance was outstanding.

They were no longer just defending but fought from east to west and west to east.

The team's combat style changed as they moved.

Guan Yiren steadily guarded the rear.

The Sword Cultivator lived up to his reputation as the king of Qingbing and the god of slaughter!

Niu Zhengzheng was a qualified tank, charging into battle, opening paths with his axe, and fighting fiercely!

Wang Ling undoubtedly played the role of the jungler, moving flexibly within and outside the team, teleporting frequently, and keeping his movements mysterious.

Qiao Yuansi stood firmly at the center of the team, directing and assisting with various auxiliary techniques.

With two divine armaments by her side, she was well protected.

"Not a bad choice," Lu Ran said softly, not minding pushing a few people aside.

Lu Ran wasn't exaggerating; Qiao Yuansi's choice was indeed excellent.

Although they were charging back and forth in the plaza area, it was a transformation from passivity to proactivity, returning to the team's more familiar "training style."

Thanks to this,

Wang Ling had a great start, reaping more and more rewards.

Of course, all of this was made possible by Wang Quan guarding this place.

The River Realm Gunrot Disciple was truly fierce!

Although not as good as a dog,

their intelligence was higher than a dog's!

"Hmm?" Lu Ran looked up at the sky, and seeing dark clouds gathering a street away, he immediately darted out.

"Evil Spear Emperor!"

Guan Yiren suddenly spoke up.

Although she was on the ground, she was standing on a flying sword, her back to the team, and constantly flying backwards.

Right in front of her, an Evil Spear Emperor took shape.

As Guan Yiren reported the situation, she waved her sword, sending out two sword auras.

Sword One Divine Technique: Frost Sword Aura!

"Heh."

The Evil Spear Emperor let out a cold snort, also on the ground, but standing on a black cloud.

His body tilted to the right and then to the left, dodging the two sword auras, and his long spear waved.

Evil Spell: Evil Cloud Bind!

In an instant, three streaks of dark fog were whipped out, like three venomous snakes, heading towards Guan Yiren.

"Silent Night, go help Yiren," Qiao Yuansi commanded, with two lanterns still floating above her head.

The Radiant Fire Cage added a golden-red defensive shield for everyone.

Holy Fire Cage: Madness!

As a purification technique, it used gentle light to completely dispel the three streaks of dark fog! In this world, the priority of purification techniques is higher than that of aberration state techniques.

Not to mention the River-grade Evil Cloud Bind, even the Jiang-grade Evil Cloud Bind with four streaks of dark fog, Qiao Yuansi could purify it all!

To make the Evil Cloud Bind persist and take effect, you'd need a Sea-grade technique!

"Ding~"

The long spear clashed with Silent Night!

The Evil Spear Emperor was skilled, and instead of resisting, he redirected the force and continued forward.

Although his direction was slightly off, he quickly adjusted his position with the help of the black cloud beneath his feet and once again closed in.

Guan Yiren's eyebrows furrowed, and as she was still flying backwards, she immediately changed direction.

She raised her jade-like hand, and a string of flying swords flew towards the Evil Spear Emperor.

Inevitably, the flying swords that had been darting around the battlefield, killing enemies, disappeared.

"Hmph."

A mocking smile appeared on the Evil Spear Emperor's handsome face.

Suddenly, he flicked his robe, and his speed increased dramatically!

Guan Yiren's beautiful eyes widened in shock!

So... so fast!

As a disciple of Sword One, a first-rank deity, Guan Yiren's speed when riding a flying sword was naturally top-notch.

The Evil Spear Emperor, as the arch-nemesis of Gun Rot, a first-rank deity, his speed when riding the clouds and mist was also unparalleled!

But there was a problem!

In a peak sect battle, both sides' flying speeds were usually on par.

But this Evil Spear Emperor...

His speed far surpassed Guan Yiren's!

Not just fast, but...

His luxurious black gold robe effortlessly deflected the flying swords, and the hem of his robe showed no signs of tearing.

Guan Yiren broke out in a cold sweat!

This was definitely not a River Realm Evil Spear Emperor!

But a River Realm Demon Lord?!

So, when the Evil Spear Emperor cast the Evil Cloud Bind earlier, was he intentionally creating only three streaks of dark fog?

Using the number of dark fog streaks to confuse the enemy, making them mistake him for a River Realm cultivator?

Other River Realm Demon Lords descending upon the world would do so with great fanfare,

causing the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble, announcing their arrival to the world.

But the Evil Spear Emperor did so silently, even hiding his presence.

Guan Yiren realized this too!

But it was too late.

Instinctively, she dodged, desperately moving sideways.

But the dark golden spear kept adjusting its angle, chasing her face, getting closer and closer!

"Guan..."

Before she could finish saying "Yiren," Wang Ling, who had been patrolling outside the team, had already teleported to the side of the Evil Spear Emperor.

The Evil Spear Emperor's eyes showed contempt, and his mocking smile grew.

His target had never been a Sword One disciple.

The sudden shift of the spear tip told everyone a cruel fact:

The Evil Spear Emperor's target had always been the Gunrot believer!

"Ding!!"

The extremely piercing sound made Guan Yiren's heart almost jump out of her chest.

"Hmm?" The Evil Spear Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.

Wang Ling's face turned pale!

The sweeping dark golden spear tip slightly pierced his neck, but couldn't move half an inch further.

Because there was another iron spear, pointing at the dark golden spear shaft.

"Gudu." Wang Ling's throat twitched.

Following the iron spear shaft, he saw the spear-wielding man beside him—Wang Quan! Wang Quan's expression was blank, his eyes cloudy, as he silently stared at the Evil Spear Emperor.

What audacity! Wang Quan dared to use the tip of his iron spear to touch the golden spear shaft?

"Hmph." The Evil Spear Emperor moved swiftly.

Since he couldn't wipe Wang Ling's neck, he casually threw the golden spear away.

Guan Yiren's pupils contracted violently!

All of this happened in a fleeting moment.

Guan Yiren hadn't flown too far.

The dark golden spear, aiming for her face again! The Evil Spear Emperor dropped the act!

At such close range, the River Realm Demon Lord's strength and the speed of his spear thrust were far beyond what a River Realm believer could withstand.

"Ding!!"

Another crisp sound rang out! Guan Yiren's face was stiff, and she felt a flash before her eyes.

A phantom, accompanied by immortal mist, flashed past her.

The newcomer deflected the golden spear and blew her black hair sideways.

In the blink of an eye, Guan Yiren felt like she had died twice.

And lived twice.

She continued flying backwards, her gaze uncontrollably turning to the left.

Just in time to see a man in black, wearing a black mask, turning and sliding backwards, his short, chopped hair blowing forward.

On that handsome face were a pair of cold, horizontal pupils.

He lifted his eyes slightly,

twirling his blade in his hand, and silently gazing at the River Realm Demon Lord.

Tonight,

There were indeed demons prowling the night, and perhaps even a Demon Lord had descended.

But wherever my eyes can see, no human casualties should occur.

I say so.

Double bonus points for the last day, please vote!
