Chapter 391: Asking for Trouble!

Chapter 391: Asking for Trouble!

[Are they up to no good?] Deng Yuxiang conveyed her thoughts without changing her expression.

[Possibly.] Lu Ran immediately responded.

Deng Yuxiang maintained an arrogant posture, glancing at the red-robed woman in front of her and then sweeping her gaze over the three men behind the woman.

Judging by their age, they all seemed to be in their thirties or forties.

In terms of their aura and presence, they had clearly transcended the realm of ordinary people and were undoubtedly at the River Realm!

The group naturally sensed Deng Yuxiang's scrutinizing gaze, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Anyone could see that the young couple was very young, probably around twenty years old.

Or perhaps even younger than twenty? Yet, their demeanor was astonishing!

The young woman had a lofty and graceful figure, with a brow that exuded a vibrant and bold spirit.

She was as radiant and dazzling as the blazing sun! As for the boy who looked to be eighteen or nineteen, he didn't have an overbearing demeanor, but he was equally valiant and upright.

Especially his eyes, which were mysterious and deep.

No emotional fluctuations could be discerned in them; it was as if they could contain everything and swallow everything.

Who were these two? Since they dared to challenge the Divine Ruins, they were undoubtedly the cream of the crop among humans.

The problem was that these two were too young! So young that it made others feel apprehensive and fearful of their future.

At the same time, the four people hiding behind them were also secretly observing Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang's backs.

The youngest among them seemed to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

He squinted his eyes, his gaze filled with greed, as he sized up the weapon behind Lu Ran.

Finally, his gaze settled on the Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd attached to Lu Ran's waist.

"Gulp." The man swallowed his saliva and averted his gaze to avoid being noticed for staring too long.

If not for their wariness of this treasure, the four hidden in the shadows could have gotten closer.

But divine armaments and magical artifacts had different ways of sensing the world, and if they got too close, they might detect each other's presence.

The four hidden in the shadows were still unaware of whether there were any divine armaments among the four blades behind Lu Ran.

However, after observing from a distance, they could at least conclude that the gourd, which was not bound or fixed in any way and was attached to Lu Ran's waist, was definitely a treasure!

Both sides secretly sized each other up, and finally, Deng Yuxiang spoke up, her thin lips slightly parted:

"Last night, who caused the thunderous roar in the sky?"

"We only heard the sound but have never seen the person." The red-robed woman smiled and shook her head.

She continued, "However, since this mysterious existence could cause such a shocking commotion, don't we already have an answer in our hearts?"

Deng Yuxiang's expression remained unchanged, and she continued her inquiry without hesitation, "How do we return?"

"Return? Return where?"

"Home, to the human world."

"Hahahahaha." The red-robed woman suddenly laughed, and the bitterness in her smile seemed genuine.

She lifted her head, gazing at the mountain peaks shrouded in cloud mist, and sighed deeply, "Fellow Daoist, you've stumped me. After coming this far, can we still find our way back?"

Deng Yuxiang silently observed the woman, never expecting that her words would be so impactful.

With just one sentence, she had made the other woman laugh until tears came to her eyes?

"My apologies." The red-robed woman quickly composed herself, nodding apologetically at Deng Yuxiang, her eyes filled with confusion. "Fellow Daoist, are you two really disciples of the Divine Sheep Sect?"

Deng Yuxiang replied indifferently, "What difference does it make?"

The red-robed woman looked perplexed, "Please excuse my boldness, but I can't imagine that disciples of the Divine Sheep Sect would come to this realm. Moreover, most of the Divine Sheep Sect's members are known for their gentle and amicable nature, avoiding conflicts. I perceive a formidable and unyielding aura from you two, which doesn't seem like you're disciples of the Divine Sheep Lord."

A hint of a smile played on Deng Yuxiang's lips. "Are you fixated on our identity as followers?"

The red-robed woman's smile froze for a moment, then she resumed her gentle smile, "I apologize for my boldness. I'm just curious."

Behind the woman, a man in a black robe spoke with a cold face, "Youngster! Our lady has treated you with courtesy and sincerity, don't be ungrateful!"

"Step back!" The red-robed woman's expression darkened as she scolded in a low voice.

"I've had enough of you!" Another man with short hair and a rough demeanor stepped forward, "What are you trying to pull?"

"Jia Yanybiao!" The red-robed woman's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

It seemed that this man had a hot-tempered nature and wasn't someone who could be easily deterred by words.

"Arrogant and ignorant!" Jia Yanybiao shouted hoarsely, "Do you think this is the Xia Dynasty? Do you think you're so great? Who do you think you are?"

Jia Yanybiao seemed genuinely enraged, and even when the red-robed woman tried to stop him, he kept pushing and shoving his way forward.

The red-robed woman scolded harshly, "Jia Yanybiao!!"

[Here it comes.] Lu Ran's cold laughter echoed in Deng Yuxiang's mind.

Deng Yuxiang watched the two pushing and shoving with a cold gaze, and then she heard the red-robed woman's soft exclamation.

The more Jia Yanybiao cursed, the angrier he became, seemingly unaware of the consequences of his actions. He pushed the red-robed woman in front of him away.

"Madam!"

"Lady Luo!" Including Jia Yanybiao, the three men in black robes called out and hurried forward.

The red-robed woman, addressed as "Lady Luo," sidestepped and slammed into the spot where Deng Yuxiang was standing.

"Tsk!"

Suddenly, blood-red energy surged beneath Lady Luo's feet, as if a sea of blood was churning.

Demon Sealing Divine Technique: Blood Sea Chaos!

This technique could disrupt the divine energy within the target's body and interfere with their spellcasting.

Finally, Lady Luo revealed her true face!

Her gaze at Deng Yuxiang was filled with malice, and there was no trace of her previous gentle smile.

This sudden change was so unexpected that it seemed unbelievable.

Why? They were all humans, meeting for the first time without any deep grudges, yet she had directly attacked. However, when many people asked such questions, it was already too late.

"Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

As soon as Lady Luo unleashed the Divine Technique: Blood Sea Chaos, several illusory short blades flew from the mountain forest behind Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang.

The piercing sound of blades tearing through the air made everyone's hair stand on end.

These short blades were all illusory, clearly the manifestation of the Divine Technique: Slaughter Blades.

Obviously, the ones hiding in the shadows were all third-rank Divine Realm disciples of the Nuo Sha Sect.

And the Slaughter Blades, flying from various angles, were all aimed at Lu Ran.

It was clear that the two teams, one in front and one behind, had distinct roles.

"Tsss!"

At the same time, thick white mist surged beneath Lu Ran's feet, spreading out in all directions.

Jade-faced Serpent Profane Technique: Immortal Realm!

This technique was a purification method.

"Hmm?"

"Wh-What?" Everyone's faces turned pale with shock.

How could this young man react so quickly?

His casting was simultaneous with Luo Furen's, as if they had cast their spells at the same time!

So, had these two young people already sensed something amiss?

Why didn't they run away?

Furthermore, what kind of Divine Technique was this?

Was it the Celestial Hoof?

If so, why didn't the young man teleport?

And why did the white mist spread rapidly in all directions?

Something's wrong! Something's not right!

"This guy?"

As the Nuo Sha disciples tried to keep their voices down, Lu Ran cast his spell while his body swayed unsteadily.

From start to finish, Lu Ran didn't turn back, but it was as if he had eyes at the back of his head, dodging one Slaughter Blade after another!

"Hmph!" Deng Yuxiang coldly hummed, reaching out with one hand.

She stood tall and proud, facing the surging blood sea.

The ferocious blood sea should have engulfed her ankles, causing the divine energy within her body to go haywire, rendering it uncontrollable.

But the Celestial Mist wouldn't allow it!

The dense Celestial Mist that spread out also blocked the blood sea, rapidly purifying the battlefield environment and expanding its protective range.

The mist sea forced the blood sea to retreat, completely overwhelming it!

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Deng Yuxiang's palm shot out several wind blades, aiming straight for Luo Furen's red robe.

Luo Furen's pupils shook with shock: !!!

Wind Blades?

This little brat wasn't a Celestial Sheep Sect disciple after all!

She was actually a second-rank Divine Realm follower of the Northern Wind Sect?!

"What a schemer!" Luo Furen's teeth clenched, and she managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth, her red robe fluttering.

The ambush had failed, and they hadn't gained the advantage.

But so what?

Eight experienced Jiang Jing Powerhouses, battle-hardened and seasoned, couldn't defeat two wet-behind-the-ears kids?

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

T

The three men in black robes, led by Jia Yanybiao, had pretended to be concerned about Luo Furen and rushed forward to support her, but now their true intentions were exposed as they charged towards Deng Yuxiang.

However, in the next moment, everyone was stunned.

"Huff!"

A fierce wind suddenly rose, but it wasn't the Northern Wind Sect's tornado; instead, it was a pure, forward-moving gust.

N

How... How was this possible?

Everyone was utterly bewildered.

Could the Northern Wind Sect's Divine Technique change forms? Could it be applied to such an extent? Deng Yuxiang's lips curled upwards slightly.

Her outstretched palm was delicate and fair, her slender fingers like jade.

Beautiful,

but it also wove a nightmare for the murderous thieves.

"Tsss—"

The Celestial Mist beneath Deng Yuxiang's feet churned, and without warning, she suddenly teleported!

When everyone thought she was a powerful Northern Wind Sect disciple, they naturally had their mental preparations.

But Deng Yuxiang's sudden Celestial Hoof left everyone wide-eyed and disbelieving.

"What is this?"

"How could he be so careful!"

"Luo Furen!!" Shocked cries rang out, and strands of blood-red chains appeared out of thin air, attempting to intercept the enemy.

"Crack! Crack! Crack."

The sound of shattering chains echoed one after another.

The dazzlingly beautiful woman, while dashing forward, held a broken blade, and a long gash was dragged across its surface.

The blade's attack power was astonishing, slicing through the crisscrossing blood chains on the path ahead.

N

An unparalleled single-target killing technique!

In an instant, Deng Yuxiang, holding the broken blade, had already reached Luo Furen.

Luo Furen's heart leaped into her throat, and she shrieked, "How dare you!"

"Huff!"

Her feet unleashed countless blood-red chains, shooting out in all directions.

The number of chains was countless, dense and impenetrable, forming a full-coverage, dead-angle attack.

Demon Sealing Divine Technique: Demon Sealing Grand Array!

This technique should not be used lightly.

Because the Godly Lord Lietyan's intention in creating this technique was to give his followers the ability to face a hundred enemies when surrounded.

But Luo Furen, in her panic, faced only Deng Yuxiang's attack and unleashed her ultimate move.

"Huff!"

Deng Yuxiang's figure suddenly stopped, as if she had no inertia at all.

It left everyone dumbfounded.

Her lips curled upwards in a carefree smile.

Because

Suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air, flashing above Luo Furen's head.

Above her head!

There was no defense from the red robe, nor were there endless blood chains.

"Tsss!"

A radiant light flashed, and the blade's tip, from top to bottom, pierced through Luo Furen's water flow armor on her head.

It was forcefully driven into Luo Furen's celestial bregma!

"Ah..." Luo Furen's shrill scream abruptly stopped as soon as it began.

Her face contorted, her eyeballs bulging, and her expression was filled with terror.

And beneath her feet, the endless blood chains that shot out in all directions suddenly went limp, drooping to the ground.

Lu Ran held the hilt of his blade with both hands, standing behind Luo Furen, pinning her body to the ground.

He had her kneeling on the ground.

For a moment, the battlefield fell silent.

The disciples of the Demon Sealing Sect and the Nuo Sha Sect seemed to hear their own pounding hearts.

Lu Ran turned his head to look at Jia Yanybiao in the distance, his face pale, and smiled, saying,

"Who the hell isn't from the River Realm, huh?"

Today, I'll tell you what the River Realm is.

And what I am.
