Chapter 400: A Clever Dog
Chapter 400: A Clever Dog
Gudu. Yuan Ying swallowed his saliva.
He was certain that Lu Ran was from the River Realm, as he didn't possess the overwhelming aura of a Sea Realm powerhouse.
But Lu Ran's cold gaze, fixed on Yuan Ying with a sinister smile, sent shivers down his spine.
Yes! A direct disciple of the Gun Rot Sect, how could he be weak?
Moreover, this young man had several divine armaments by his side, most likely stolen, a glorious achievement indeed!
Although they had more people, including Lord Luo of the Camp and Lady Kong, on their side, the other party's absolute superiority in cultivation was undeniable, and their lives were not in danger.
Yuan Ying himself was only at the third level of the River Realm.
"What?" Yuan Ying exclaimed in shock, his face turning pale.
Suddenly, he found himself in a deep red world, the forest environment completely gone.
The next moment, countless red silk threads rushed towards him, dense and innumerable.
Beautiful yet dangerous!
Each thread had a needle-like tip that pierced his skin and penetrated his limbs and bones.
A thousand arrows piercing the heart?
This was far worse, it was a thousand threads piercing his body!
"Ahhhh!" Yuan Ying covered his head with both hands, his face contorted in pain, and he stumbled backward several steps.
"Crack!" The sound of a jade plaque shattering suddenly echoed.
Lu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly teleported away.
"Zzzz...z!"
Countless currents, like mad snakes, crawled in all directions from the center where Luo Tiantu was standing.
In an instant, a 500-meter diameter "Lightning Sphere" formed around Luo Tiantu.
500 meters!
What did that mean?
The vast lightning field illuminated the sky, turning it into a blue-purple hue.
Although it was a control-type technique, within a 500-meter diameter, trees were shattered into pieces by the electricity, eventually turning into dust.
"Impressive."
Lu Ran's heart raced, and he appeared on a cliff on the other side of the canyon.
Thanks to his Evil Insight and Evil Acuity, his reaction was swift.
Otherwise, he would have been struck by the instantaneous burst of electricity.
And thanks to the River Realm's Evil Shadow Flash, the teleportation distance was limited to a maximum of one kilometer.
Otherwise, he too would have been trapped in the lightning field!
The Sea Realm technique was truly terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ran narrowly escaped death.
However, several members of the Tiantu Mountain Camp were completely engulfed by the lightning field.
Fortunately, the Jade Talisman believers had the Jade Talisman Array divine technique.
Within the white jade plaques surrounding them, their own Electric Restraining Talismans could absorb the electricity released by other Electric Restraining Talismans.
But the problem was that Luo Tiantu was too strong!
In his fury, he unleashed his full power, crushing the Sea Realm Electric Restraining Talisman.
Yuan Ying and the Yu brothers were River Realm believers, so their techniques were also of the River Realm, which meant they could only be partially immune to the electricity.
The Yu brothers' faces turned pale, and they struggled to resist with their techniques.
As for Yuan Ying, he was completely numb from the electricity.
Before being enveloped by the lightning field, Yuan Ying had been hit by the Evil Technique: Puppet Eye.
A single round of "Thousand Threads Piercing the Body" might not have been enough to kill Yuan Ying, but it was enough to cause him excruciating pain and disrupt his technique casting.
With the camp leader, Luo Tiantu, being so powerful, Yuan Ying couldn't withstand his own leader's wrath.
"An opportunity!" Lu Ran thought to himself.
The dazzling electricity was enough to blind his dog eyes.
Lu Ran didn't dodge but instead squinted and observed carefully.
With his sharp memory and visual aid, Lu Ran suddenly raised his hand and sheathed his sword.
"Crack!"
In that instant, as Lu Ran lifted his hand, two rows of teeth appeared out of thin air at the cliff where Yuan Ying was standing, amidst the dazzling lightning.
Silently, without a sound.
The crisp sound of the teeth biting together was completely masked by the chaotic noise of the electricity.
Whoosh!
The lightning field suddenly disappeared, and the world became calm and clear.
Luo Tiantu's eyes turned icy, originally intending to find Lu Ran, but instead, he saw Yuan Ying at the cliff, cut in half at the waist.
Luo Tiantu's face turned ashen. Lady Kong widened her eyes slightly, "What..."
Due to the dense currents and dazzling brilliance of the lightning field, they couldn't see what had happened inside.
How did Yuan Ying die?
The Yu brothers, Yu Lengshan and Yu Lenger, were both shocked and furious. Despite the currents still swirling around them, they desperately activated the Jade Talisman Array technique, reinforcing their Water Flow Armor, and hastily retreated.
On the opposite cliff, Lu Ran still had his hand raised, gripping the hilt of the sword on his shoulder.
His gaze was icy as he stared at the others.
The world fell silent.
The not-so-wide canyon separated them.
"Hehe, hehe, hahahaha!" Luo Tiantu suddenly burst into laughter.
His laughter grew louder and louder.
Lu Ran also smiled slightly, watching the enraged Sea Realm powerhouse.
He knew that this was laughter born from extreme anger.
Lu Ran could sense Luo Tiantu's fury.
Without exaggeration, the atmosphere in this realm was "ignited" by the anger in the Sea Realm powerhouse's heart.
Lu Ran didn't disturb him.
He hoped Luo Tiantu would laugh a little longer, giving him enough time.
After all, in another dimension, Yuan Ying's soul had to drift from the cliff on that side to this side.
Unfortunately, Lu Ran had wanted to show off his sword skills to Yuan Ying.
But plans often change.
Hmm. If you want to blame someone, blame your camp leader for being too fierce.
If I didn't take action, I wouldn't be doing justice to your camp leader's help in controlling the situation!
"Good! Good, good!" Finally, Luo Tiantu stopped laughing.
He looked at Lu Ran from afar and said, "Young friend, you have courage and skill!"
It seemed that compared to Lu Ran's stealthy killing of Yuan Ying, Luo Tiantu was more impressed by Lu Ran's boldness.
Lu Zhitu had long since advanced to the Sea Realm.
In his world, there were several types of people.
One type was the servile and obsequious.
Another type was those who kowtowed like pounding garlic and cried for mercy.
As for young people like Lu Ran, Lu Zhitu hadn't seen any in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm for a long time.
"Young friend, to have such strength at your age is truly admirable," Lu Zhitu said, his anger gradually dissipating as he spoke.
He gazed at Lu Ran from afar and continued, "Why don't you join my Tiantu Mountain? We can work together on a grand endeavor. What do you think?"
Lu Ran: ". . ."
No way! A Sea Realm master!
I just killed two of your camp members right under your nose, and it's really okay? Or is this the callousness of those in high positions?
"Hmm."
Lady Kong flew to Lu Zhitu's side and returned to her previous dignified and elegant appearance.
She inserted the cracked jade hairpin back into her hair, following her husband's lead, and smiled as she praised, "Indeed, the young friend has excellent skills, and it's a pleasure to watch."
After confirming that Yuan Ying's soul had entered the garden, Lu Ran said directly, "The path of the martial world is long, and we shall meet again."
Then, Lu Ran disappeared without a trace.
He had no intention of fighting to the death with two Sea Realm masters!
Just now, Lu Zhitu had only shown a glimpse of his power, and it almost completely sealed Lu Ran's fate!
His heart nearly jumped out of his chest.
Lu Ran's only advantage was his mental output.
But Lu Zhitu and Lady Kong were, after all, Sea Realm masters. Even though the Jade Talisman Sect lacked mental defense techniques, and the two of them would be affected, they could still rely on their Sea Realm mental strength to react swiftly and re-engage in combat.
In terms of physical output, it would be difficult for Lu Ran to break through their defenses.
He could only rely on the Radiant Light Field to try.
In general, Lu Ran could put up a fight against them.
But the prerequisite was to risk his life!
So, it wasn't necessary! Why not wait until I cultivate the Lietyen God Sculpture and then challenge the two Sea Realm masters? Why not wait until I cultivate the Jade Talisman God Sculpture, activate the Jade Talisman Array, absorb their damage while attacking them with chaos blades? Wouldn't that be better?
"Hmph." As Lu Ran disappeared, Lu Zhitu's expression immediately darkened.
Lady Kong's face grew solemn. "Tiantu, how did Yuan Ying die?"
Lu Zhitu slightly raised his head, indicating Yuan Ying's corpse with his chin.
Yu Lenger immediately walked over and carefully examined it.
Lady Kong's eyebrows furrowed, and she asked, "Before Yuan Ying was enveloped by lightning, it seemed like he suffered some kind of mental shock?"
Lu Zhitu's eyes darkened. "The Gunrot Sect only has mental defense techniques, not offensive mental techniques."
Lady Kong analyzed, "This young man has at least three divine armaments or magical artifacts on him. Perhaps it's a corresponding ability?"
"Camp leader!" Yu Lenger shouted.
"Speak."
Yu Lenger knelt on one knee in front of Yuan Ying's corpse and looked up at the camp leader. "Camp leader, Yuan Ying's body feels like it was bitten off."
"Bite off?"
"Yes, camp leader, look at the broken surface of the corpse."
The two Sea Realm masters flew down and carefully observed.
As Lady Kong looked, her heart stirred, and she said softly, "That young man is probably not a Gunrot disciple!"
"Oh?"
Lady Kong looked at the corpse, broken into two pieces, and said solemnly, "This looks like it was torn by canine teeth, uneven and jagged.
That young man has probably fallen into the demonic path. He's a disciple of the demons, a follower of the Evil Dog?"
Yu Lenger knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and said to the two, "Camp leader, madam. Among the Gunrot disciples I've seen, none of them don't use guns!"
Lu Zhitu nodded thoughtfully.
From this perspective, the so-called Gun Rot Divine Art: Piercing Cloud Shadow was actually the Evil Dog Technique: Evil Shadow Flash?
Hmph,
He pretended well.
The first time that young man cast his spell, he even intentionally tilted his body to create the illusion of casting Piercing Cloud Shadow.
Lady Kong's eyes flickered. "No wonder his reaction was so fast, and he was able to dodge the Electric Restraining Talisman. It turns out he relied on the evil technique of the Evil Dog Sect."
It was common knowledge that the electric current produced by the explosion of the Electric Restraining Talisman was almost equivalent to instant release for ordinary people.
It was indeed surprising that Lu Ran could dodge it.
Suddenly, Lady Kong's eyebrows furrowed. "But if he's a demonic disciple and a follower of the Evil Dog, why is his mind so clear?"
Lu Zhitu put his hands behind his back and pondered, "The Evil Dog needs more Holy Spirit Qi, so it naturally requires a clear-headed servant.
If he were delirious like he is now, he wouldn't have fled in disarray and would have already died in my hands."
Lady Kong held Lu Zhitu's arm, her face filled with worry. "Tiantu, this young man is so young and talented.
At the mere River Realm, he dares to act so boldly before us. If we don't eliminate him, he will surely become a great threat in the future! We cannot let him go!"
Lu Zhitu extended his hand, his fingertips reaching for the jade hairpin in Lady Kong's bun, gently caressing the shattered patterns on it.
His movements were gentle, but a terrifying pressure spread out.
Yu Lenger, kneeling at his feet, couldn't help but tremble.
Not far away, Yu Lengshan, who was on guard, felt like he had a thorn in his back and didn't dare to breathe heavily.
Lu Zhitu said indifferently, "I'll make a trip to Thunder Peak Mountain."
Lady Kong's phoenix eyes shone brightly, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. "The Evil Dog Clan does indeed fear those loudmouths."
Although she said this, Lady Kong sighed heavily in her heart.
The Holy Spirit Mountain was boundless! This young man is also smart and knows how to run.
If we let him escape this time, how easy will it be to find him again?
The fear is that we won't be able to find him, and after a few years, he will come knocking on our door.
