Chapter 341: The Snake-Slaying Emperor

Chapter 341: The Snake-Slaying Emperor

"Huff~~~"

Suddenly, wisps of immortal mist appeared around the Jade-faced Snake.

Demon Art: Immortal Realm!

The Jade-faced Snake still held some apprehension towards the Crimson Paper Person, so after preparing her defenses, she immediately activated her purification technique.

With this, the paper figurine in the Crimson Paper Person's hand could no longer interfere with the Jade-faced Snake.

The hint of anger in Lu Ran's heart had already turned into silent joy.

The Jade-faced Snake seemed to be high above, looking down on the insignificant ants, but her thoughts were clear, and she acted with caution.

A phrase popped into Lu Ran's mind:

"Despise the enemy in strategy, but respect them in tactics!"

Good!

No wonder she's the arch-nemesis of a First Rank Deity!

No wonder she's an existence that can rival the Evil Spear Emperor in terms of intellect!

With such a demon under his command, she would be more than capable of leading the slave squad.

"Swoosh~"

Lu Ran's figure quietly disappeared, holding the Eight Directions Destruction, and instantly appeared behind the Jade-faced Snake.

A crisp "ding" sound rang out.

Lu Ran was already fast, but the Tang Blade still managed to pierce the snake's tail.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

No wonder she's the River Basin Realm Demon Lord!

The third style of the Flame Star Technique, Star Spark, was actually blocked? All along, the Jade-faced Snake's tail was in a spiral shape, coiled around her upper body.

And just as Lu Ran disappeared, the coiled tail suddenly tightened, forcing Lu Ran to retreat without success.

Swoosh~

Lu Ran's figure disappeared again.

The next moment, a thick, long snake tail swept across, with incredible force!

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

A total of sixteen thick, long, white-scaled snake tails were wildly swinging.

Large swaths of trees were snapped, and the earth trembled with the impact.

The Jade-faced Snake's crawling speed was also not to be underestimated.

Unable to find Lu Ran for the moment, she headed straight for the annoying Crimson Paper Person.

"Ugh"

The Crimson Paper Person let out a low groan, her eyes filled with anger.

However, there was a clear difference in their cultivation realms.

Although the Crimson Paper Person's aura was no less impressive, she was only at the Fourth Stage of the River Realm, how could she possibly contend with the River Basin Realm Demon Lord?

There was another reason that left the Crimson Paper Person helpless.

Over the past half a month, Lu Ran had trained her not to fly high into the sky, to avoid exposing her identity.

Therefore, the Crimson Paper Person could only fly backwards in the forest, dodging the pursuing Jade-faced Snake.

"Hiss."

The Jade-faced Snake's hiss was also shallow, sounding calm, but her actions were not slow!

She crawled forward rapidly, with several snake tails clearing the path through the forest ahead.

A few other snake tails lashed out fiercely towards the Crimson Paper Person.

The Crimson Paper Person flew backwards swiftly, dodging left and right with exceptional agility.

However, the white-scaled snake tails were even more agile!

"Snap!" A snake tail brushed past the expensive phoenix crown, snapping the nearby tree trunk into powder.

The Crimson Paper Person was both shocked and angry!

As another snake tail attacked, the Crimson Paper Person had nowhere to escape, so she could only swing her robe forward.

Crimson Paper Demon Art: Red Wedding Dress!

"Crack!!!"

The snake tail brushed past the hem of her robe, emitting a piercing sound of shattering.

The Crimson Paper Person still wore the Crimson Robe, but in terms of demon art, her defensive clothing had been shattered!

The Crimson Paper Person's expression changed abruptly!

In her sight, a thick, long snake tail attacked, resembling a giant spear.

At the same time, in the forest not far away.

Lu Ran reached out to the side, and a bronze mirror floated in front of his palm.

The next moment, the oval-shaped bronze mirror transformed into a standing mirror.

Demon Art: Mirror Flower Moon!

At the same time, another standing mirror appeared in the forest, hanging in the path of the Crimson Paper Person's backward flight.

"Huff!"

The Crimson Paper Person flew backwards into the mirror and emerged from the standing mirror next to Lu Ran.

The Crimson Robe fluttered in the wind.

The Crimson Paper Person's beautiful face turned pale.

The scene was somewhat poignant, but Lu Ran had no time to appreciate it.

Because in the mirror, the long, thick snake tail had also followed! This standing mirror wasn't particularly large, only about three to four meters in length and width.

How could it accommodate the thick snake tail?

The fact proved that it could!

The standing mirror was actually stretched! The thick, white-scaled snake tail squeezed in forcefully, turning the rectangular mirror into a large round mirror.

The scene was... well, it needed to be cut!

"Tsk!"

A radiant blade swept across, and Lu Ran finally unsheathed his divine weapon, instantly severing a snake tail.

"Hiss!!!"

A shrill scream came from the Jade-faced Snake in the distance.

This time, the snake tail behaved.

It immediately retracted.

Only a neatly cut section of the snake's body remained, falling to the ground and then shattering into mist.

The difference between a divine weapon and an ordinary blade was simply too obvious.

Earlier, the Eight Directions Destruction couldn't pierce the snake's scales.

But the Radiant Blade directly sliced off the snake's body!

"Hmm"

Over ten meters away, the Crimson Paper Person's backward flight slowed down.

Having escaped from the brink of life and death, she looked towards the young emperor holding the Radiant Blade.

For a moment, the Crimson Paper Person's eyes shimmered with emotion, and her gaze was filled with tenderness.

Even her pale, paper-like face was tinged with a blush.

Lu Ran had no time to pay attention to the Crimson Paper Person; his focus was entirely on the Jade-faced Snake.

He dismissed the standing mirror and gazed at the Jade-faced Snake with great interest.

The White Snake Fairy, high above, finally changed her expression.

Her eyes were no longer cold and indifferent but filled with anger, staring at Lu Ran from afar.

"Heh."

Lu Ran smiled, weighing the Radiant Blade in his hand.

In ancient times, the High Ancestor slew a snake.

The black gold imperial robe fluttered as Lu Ran strode forward, his gaze fixed on the Jade-faced Snake's terrified eyes.

"I still prefer you in your high and mighty form," he said softly.

"Hiss!!!"

Suddenly, a blinding light burst forth from the Jade-faced Snake.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran leaned back, and the dark cloud beneath his feet came to an abrupt stop.

Is the Jade-faced Snake evolving?

In Lu Ran's mind, he even imagined the background music from the Digimon anime!

He shielded his face with one hand, squinting as he peered through the gaps between his fingers. Amidst the dazzling light, a colossal python soared into the sky! This was the Jade-faced Snake Clan's ultimate move!

River Realm Sorcery: White Scale Celestial Python!

The Jade-faced Snake finally revealed its true form, transforming from the upper half of a human body into a gigantic python.

It was an awe-inspiring sight, measuring over a hundred meters in length!

"Wow!"

Lu Ran stood in awe, gazing up at the White Scale Celestial Python coiling in the sky.

Its eyes were bloodshot, and its thick body was covered in fine white scales.

Each scale resembled a lustrous white jade, shimmering with beauty.

If I could capture it as a mount,

I'd die of beauty!

"Hiss!!!

The White Scale Celestial Python hovered in the sky, opening its enormous maw to spray immortal energy downward.

Immortal Breath Sorcery!

A red robe flew towards Lu Ran, blocking out the sky above him.

The Crimson Paper Person swiftly approached, their crimson robe billowing, attempting to protect Lu Ran.

"River Realm techniques are useless," Lu Ran said casually, changing his outfit with a click.

The black gold imperial robe he was wearing suddenly transformed into a grand crimson robe.

Although it wasn't the attire of a groom,

Lu Ran and the Crimson Paper Person were now wearing matching outfits.

Lu Ran raised his right hand, and the dragon and phoenix embroidery on his sleeve suddenly expanded.

Crimson Paper Sleeve Sorcery!

"Stop your spell," Lu Ran commanded.

The Crimson Paper Person stood beside Lu Ran, promptly retracting the trailing end of their crimson robe.

The immortal energy raining down from above was sucked into Lu Ran's sleeve.

The Crimson Paper Person watched, then raised their right hand, causing their sleeve to widen as well.

As they did so, they stole a glance at Lu Ran and subtly curved their lips.

Lu Ran: "..."

No!

Me...you...ah...

Who would have thought that the Crimson Paper Person, so terrifying in the eyes of the world, would turn out to be a romantic at heart?

No, I must replace this slave.

Hmm...never mind.

Today is November 7th, and there are only two days left before the training ends. I'll leave it as it is for now.

"Ouch!" The Crimson Paper Person suddenly cried out in pain.

Lu Ran promptly reached out and pushed her hand down, saying, "Your River Realm sleeve can't handle it."

The Crimson Paper Person meekly lowered their eyes, placing their hands together over their lower abdomen.

They looked like an obedient little daughter-in-law.

If someone saw this, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets!

The area within a few meters of Lu Ran was considered safe.

However, the entire forest had suffered a devastating fate.

Wherever the immortal energy passed, flowers withered, trees withered rapidly, and even the ground was eroded.

"Is it over?" Lu Ran's expression darkened.

The Jade-faced Snake continued its assault without changing tactics, hovering in the sky and spraying immortal energy at Lu Ran.

Apparently, the Jade-faced Snake was wary of Lu Ran and refused to come down.

"Fine, then stay up there," Lu Ran said.

Lu Ran raised his right hand, holding up the widened Crimson Paper sleeve.

He placed his left hand to the side, and as he clenched his palm, the Radiant Blade swiftly flew to him, its hilt landing in his hand.

"Buzz!"

The Radiant Blade trembled slightly.

Streams of radiant light shot out from the blade's tip, resembling the Chaos-Taming Silk.

The delicate silk danced gracefully, avoiding the absorption range of the Crimson Paper sleeve, then coiled upwards into the sky.

"Hiss!!!"

The White Scale Celestial Python hissed in anger, intensifying its breath attack as if to obliterate the radiant light.

It had miscalculated.

As soon as the immortal energy touched the radiant light, it was completely incinerated!

The White Scale Celestial Python's eyes widened in shock, and its body writhed anxiously. Its snake eyes nearly turned into a vertical line!

The Chaos-Taming Silk had already arrived, coiling around the python's body.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The White Scale Celestial Python, disregarding its noble status, turned and tried to escape, but its speed couldn't match the radiant light!

Heart-wrenching screams filled the sky.

The incredibly hard scales were incinerated inch by inch.

The colossal python writhed in agony, its body wrapped in strands of radiant silk, and plummeted towards the forest.

"Boom!"

The ground shook, and trees toppled.

Lu Ran lowered his raised right hand, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared once more.

With a thought, the image in the mirror changed repeatedly, finally locking onto the target area.

The Bonding Mirror quietly expanded, transforming into a standing mirror.

Lu Ran stepped into it, and dust flew into the air, obscuring his vision.

He closed his eyes and listened intently.

"Hiss!"

The Jade-faced Snake lay on the ground, its eyes dull and lifeless, blood dripping from its mouth.

At this moment, it was no longer the colossal python with its immense size.

By reverting to its half-human, half-snake form, it had shrunk and finally escaped its predicament.

However, the Jade-faced Snake's body still bore the scars of incineration, charred and bloody.

"Hiss!" The Jade-faced Snake suddenly widened its eyes.

The human youth in the black gold imperial robe had somehow appeared before it.

He didn't move.

But a sharp Tang blade swiftly stabbed down, piercing the snake's head.

The Jade-faced Snake's mind went blank, and when it regained consciousness, it had become a wraith, floating away from its body.

However,

The insignificant and lowly human still showed no mercy.

"Hiss! Hiss!!!"

The Jade-faced Snake was furious, reaching for Lu Ran's neck.

Lu Ran remained motionless, silently watching it.

The soul of the River Basin Realm Demon Lord was continuously drawn into the cold, horizontal pupil.

Compared to the Evil Gun Emperor,

You're still lacking.

Lu Ran casually lifted his hand, and the Night Silence Sword that had pierced the enemy's head automatically flew up and slowly sheathed itself.

"Buzz!!!"

Lu Ran's brain buzzed.

Within the Divine Demon Sculpture Garden, the Jade Serpent Malefic Formation absorbed the Demon Lord's wraith and began to tremble!
