Chapter 407: You'll Have to Lift it Whether You Like it or Not!

Chapter 407: You'll Have to Lift it Whether You Like it or Not!

Although Lu Ran's expression was grim, his heart was racing with fear.

Just moments ago, he had almost been pierced through the heart by a flying sword!

The flying sword unleashed by the Sea Realm powerhouse was terrifying in terms of force, speed, and destructive power, leaving Lu Ran trembling in fear.

I

The suppression of levels and the crushing of technique grades left no room for survival.

Lu Ran recalled the scene he had just experienced, and his heart turned cold.

What made him even more disheartened was that it was extremely difficult for him to inflict effective damage on this Sea Realm powerhouse.

Sigh. He needed to find more Holy Spirit Qi and quickly cultivate the Fiery Heaven God Sculpture.

Without the Fiery Heaven Divine Art - Blazing Heaven Tyrant, breaking through others' defenses was impossible!

"Gudu."

"This..." The two Ice Butterfly disciples flew in mid-air, gawking at the youth standing proudly atop the mountain peak.

No matter how nervous Lu Ran felt inside, he maintained an exceptionally confident posture.

His expression was grim, and his words carried weight.

"You!" Dong Fang Ying Yin clenched her teeth, her fingers trembling with anger.

Lu Ran had just killed a Sword Sect First Rank disciple right before her eyes!

He was truly audacious! What made Dong Fang Ying Yin even more infuriated was that despite her repeated attempts to save the disciple, she couldn't bring him back.

Earlier, the tall woman's mocking laugh and her condescending order to "cut" had not only failed to split the mountain peak but had sealed her own fate.

What an ironic twist.

"You're an Evil Dog Follower." Cold Jin spoke in a cold voice.

Regardless of whether her companions had noticed, she wanted to convey this information.

"Hehe." This time, it was Lu Ran who chuckled.

He shrugged, "An Evil Demon disciple, a Divine Believer. What's the difference between us? Oh, there is."

Lu Ran looked around and spotted the Ice Butterfly disciple shivering in the snowy wind.

"Ah!"

The two Ice Butterfly disciples were shocked and quickly retreated, their faces turning pale as they realized something.

Their opponent was an Evil Dog Follower!

No matter how fast you fly or how far you retreat, what's the use? Lu Ran looked up at the sky, "There is a difference. I don't kill the innocent, and I don't enslave my fellow beings."

"Heh." Dong Fang Ying Yin's anger turned into a smile.

Her icy gaze was like two swords coated with frost, piercing straight into Lu Ran's eyes.

"Gudu." Lu Ran's throat bobbed.

Of course, he didn't want to show weakness, but the suppression of levels felt like a mountain pressing down, making it hard to breathe.

This was a constant reminder to all that one should not defy their superiors.

Lu Ran suppressed his palpitations and spoke loudly, "Senior, let's make a deal.

If you're willing to lift your hand and leave, these two companions of yours will be safe.

What do you say?"

Dong Fang Ying Yin's eyes widened in shock!

She had been threatened by a River Realm junior?

A mere brat had dared to humiliate her?

Dong Fang Ying Yin's chest heaved violently, exuding the might of the Sea Realm! Her two companions also turned pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Indeed, Lu Ran's words were a reminder to Dong Fang Ying Yin: I just killed your companion right in front of you!

Now, I'm telling you clearly: if you don't retreat, I'll kill again!

Today, you'll have to lift that precious hand of yours, whether you like it or not!

"Good! Good, good!" Dong Fang Ying Yin forced out a few words through gritted teeth, her face covered in frost, "I want to see your skills!"

"Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

The next moment, countless flying swords flew out from Dong Fang Ying Yin's palm.

There were probably more than thirty of them!

The flying swords circled the three of them at high speed, creating a terrifying storm of blades.

Dong Fang Ying Yin's voice was unusually cold as she gave a direct command, "Jiao E, Cold Jin, Frost Chill of Nine Provinces!"

The short woman called 'Jiao E' didn't want to use her ultimate move.

In fact, after witnessing Lu Ran's formidable stance and terrifying methods, Huang Jiao E had already considered retreating.

Lu Ran's threat had echoed in her ears, piercing her heart.

She didn't want to die!

She didn't want to provoke such a formidable figure from the Evil Demon camp.

But Huang Jiao E had no choice but to obey the order.

Dong Fang Ying Yin's authority was not to be challenged!

The Sword Sect disciples were indeed companions who would help each other, but the internal hierarchy within the sect was extremely strict.

To put it bluntly, with Dong Fang Ying Yin's personal strength and her status in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm's Sword Peak, even if she ordered Huang Jiao E to commit suicide, Huang Jiao E would have to obey.

Otherwise, Huang Jiao E's fate would be worse than death.

"Yes!" Reluctantly, Huang Jiao E lifted her trembling hand.

However, as she raised her right hand, her left hand threw numerous sword shadows into the forest below.

When the illusory sword shadows landed, they immediately transformed into human figures.

Sword One Divine Technique: Sword Dance Shadow!

After advancing to the River Realm, the caster's main body could freely move within the human figures.

In a sense, it was also a teleportation technique.

A lifesaving skill in critical moments!

Cold Jin, standing beside her, did the same without hesitation, decisively raising her right hand.

She was clear-headed, knowing that the rift between them had deepened, and there was no way to mend it.

Lu Ran was so young yet already so powerful. The person advancing in the mountain must be even more terrifying! If that person successfully advanced, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Lu Ran's heart sank as he looked at the countless flying swords surrounding them in the sky.

If he entered that flashing storm, the chances of survival were slim.

High above, two massive Frost Snow Great Swords gradually took shape.

The aura was overwhelming, with the power to shatter mountains and rivers!

Lu Ran's face was particularly grim, his gaze icy cold. "Fine! Then I'll show you my skills, Senior!"

He gripped the Radiant Light Blade with both hands, the tip of the blade pointing skyward, standing upright in front of him.

"Buzz!!"

In the next moment, the Radiant Light Blade trembled, and a golden-red light shone brilliantly in the sky.

Huang Jiao E's expression suddenly changed. "Divine Weapon Domain?"

Cold Jin's pupils contracted slightly.

This guy, who was even younger than herself, not only possessed a divine weapon but had even activated a domain?

That dazzling black ice blade was indeed radiant, but the blade wielder standing atop the mountain was even more brilliant and dazzling!

For a moment, Cold Jin seemed to see the youth's divine nature fully revealed!

Was he really a disciple of the Demons?

How could those golden-red eyes be so majestic and radiant?

"Whoosh~"

Strands of radiant light flew out from the blade.

They were like soft, gossamer veils, or radiant brocades.

Snow and frost were falling from the sky, and a cold gale was blowing.

As the radiant brocades rose into the air, all the frost and snow along their path were burned away.

"Slash!!" Dong Fang Ning stared intently at the youth on the mountain peak, her forehead veins throbbing.

Huang Jiao E and Cold Jin fiercely brought their palms down.

The wind and waves raged, and the frost and snow surged.

Two massive Frost Snow Great Swords slashed toward the mountain.

The radiant brocades flew at incredible speeds, heading toward the sky.

"Sizzle"

When the Frost Snow Great Swords touched the radiant brocades, there was no earth-shattering impact as expected.

Instead, it sounded like they were being vaporized and evaporated?

If the Frost Snow Great Swords were "tempered steel," then the radiant light was "gentle silk."

The radiant brocades wrapped around the Frost Snow Great Swords, staining the frost-covered blades.

The strands of light burned and destroyed as they went.

The Frost Snow Great Swords were burned away inch by inch, turning into white steam, which was then blown away by the wind.

S

Destructive and world-shattering?

No!

Where the radiant light passed, the frost and snow dissipated, and the sky became clear and bright!

I

Dong Fang Ning's face turned ashen, and she clenched her fists.

If not for the Water Flow Armor, her nails would have already pierced her palms.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran frowned slightly, his ears twitching.

More people were coming?

The two Ice Butterfly disciples had already hidden far away, as they were mere mortals and feared being caught in the crossfire of the Immortals' battle.

But the new arrivals, despite seeing the strange phenomena in the sky, still approached slowly, indicating they were no ordinary beings.

Lu Ran was solemn, and several strands of radiant light were already rushing toward the three Sword Sect first rank disciples!

"Retreat!" Huang Jiao E shouted in alarm.

"Senior Dong Fang?" Cold Jin called out, also retreating on her flying sword.

The speed of sword cultivators was truly fast!

The radiant light was already flying at incredible speeds, yet it still couldn't catch up to the few who were retreating on their flying swords.

"Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

Countless flying swords pierced through the radiant light.

A few flying swords were even burned to ashes, shattered into mist.

The strands of radiant light, though appearing like golden-red brocades, had no physical form.

"Ahhh!!"

A piercing scream suddenly tore through the sky.

Huang Jiao E?

Dozens of radiant strands scattered the formation of the three, and just as the Sword sect first rank disciples were in a state of panic, Lu Ran made his move!

Cold Jin was horrified!

Since Huang Jiao E was attacked, why didn't she teleport away?

Hadn't she left a projection in the mountain?

Was she mentally traumatized, unable to leave?

What evil technique did this Evil Dog youth use?

All their meticulous preparations seemed like a joke!

Cold Jin's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. She realized that she was merely lucky, not chosen by the Evil Dog youth.

His menacing words still echoed in her ears. Since they didn't show mercy, he would continue to kill!

Now,

The Evil Dog youth's revenge had come!

"Ahhh!!"

In the distant sky, Huang Jiao E had just emerged from a deep red illusion world, her body and mind feeling as if pierced by thousands of needles.

Her eyes bulged, and her hands clutched her hair tightly!

The flying sword beneath her feet swayed, and her Water Flow Armor was no longer stable.

The projections she had maintained with her spirit, scattered throughout the mountain, shattered one after another!

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Endless rain of swords poured down, the terrifying sound of breaking air making one's heart race.

This time, the flying swords thrown by Dong Fang Ning did not deliberately avoid her companions.

In an instant, Huang Jiao E was killed by the rain of swords!

As the sword rain approached, Lu Ran's heart was in his throat, his Evil Insight and Evil Acuity fully activated.

The moment he activated Evil Shadow Flash, he twisted his body and tilted his head with all his might, barely dodging two rapidly approaching flying swords.

"Swish~"

Lu Ran appeared at the peak of the snow mountain.

The mountain and he both stood firm!

However, the right side of his waist, both his clothes and Water Flow Armor, were torn, and a shallow but noticeable sword cut appeared on his left cheek.

Blood trickled slowly from the cut.

At this moment, the radiant light in the sky had already dissipated.

The Divine Weapon Domain required Lu Ran and the Radiant Light Blade to work together, and from the moment he took the initiative to attack, the radiant strands could not last long.

"Thud!"

Huang Jiao E, who had died a terrible death, fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the snow mountain, raising a cloud of snow.

Lu Ran wiped the blood from his cheek with the back of his hand and looked at the shocked and enraged Dong Fang Ning.

He spoke in a deep voice, his repeated words sounding like a plea for mercy, each word deliberate and threatening:

"I beg you, Senior, show mercy!"
