Chapter 419: A Feast of Carnage

Chapter 419: A Feast of Carnage

Dark clouds rolled, and heavy rain poured down.

In the gloomy sky, a large, pale golden fish shone brilliantly.

Lu Ran watched as the Dragon Carp Celestial Boat fiercely rammed into the Fiery Sea Serpent and the Black Carp.

"Uuuuuu~~~"

The mournful wail of the Fiery Sea Serpent echoed between the sky and sea.

Lu Ran's heart swelled with excitement!

The Black Carp didn't let out a wail, but it was also severely injured! Its massive body, already scorched and riddled with wounds, was now bent out of shape.

The Dragon Carp Celestial Boat continued its assault!

It rammed the Fiend black carp into the nearest shore.

"In one go, Sect Leader!" Yu Changsheng immediately said, "This time, open the mirror closer, and I'll release the fish swarm."

"Um." Lu Ran summoned another bronze mirror, observing it closely for a moment before turning it into a floor mirror.

And the other floor mirror was opened right in the path of the Dragon Carp Celestial Boat's charge!

Truly, skill and courage go hand in hand!

Yu Changsheng didn't dare to delay, plunging his hand into the mirror.

Sea Rank Divine Technique - Dragon Carp Break!

A terrifying swarm of fish surged forward, ruthlessly attacking the bodies of the Fiery Sea Serpent and the Black Carp.

Without any armor-type techniques, even the bodies of these two Sea Realm great demons couldn't withstand such a bombardment.

Lu Ran could no longer hear the Fiery Sea Serpent's wails.

The scorched and shattered Black Carp was also on the brink of death.

"Stop!" Lu Ran commanded.

Yu Changsheng immediately withdrew his hand, and the floor mirror before him vanished instantly.

The Dragon Carp Celestial Boat continued to carry the two Sea Realm great demons, flying over the sea.

Lu Ran cast his technique again, steady and sure: "Continue!"

Yu Changsheng readied his strength: "Yes!"

After the Sect Leader and Mr. Zong Long used their techniques in tandem three times, the Dragon Carp Celestial Boat finally reached the shore, ramming into the cliff.

"Boom!"

The cliff shattered, and the earth trembled!

Lu Ran, however, felt the entire world quiet down.

He opened his lifeless, dead sheep eyes, gazing at the collapsed mountain in the distance.

The Netherworld Eye allowed Lu Ran to see the wraiths.

Thus, he didn't need to risk his life to inspect the battlefield; he only needed to observe from afar whether any souls floated out.

After a few short seconds, Lu Ran's brows furrowed.

They didn't die?

What had the Fiery Sea Serpent and the Black Carp been reduced to?

The resilience of Sea Realm great demons was truly this formidable?

Lu Ran immediately said, "We continue—um?"

His eyes lit up as he saw an incredibly large, ethereal soul form—the Fiery Sea Serpent!

But he still didn't see the Black Carp's wraith!

Hmm.

The Black Carp Clan and the Dragon Carp Sect both excelled in healing techniques.

Perhaps the Black Carp was using the Evil Art - Rebirth Carp to sustain its life!

Lu Ran suddenly raised his hand, "Nightmare, watch where my blade strikes!"

"Yes!" Deng Yuxiang immediately responded, quickly raising her right hand.

Night Charm Clan River Realm Ultimate Skill - Night Demon Evil Saber!

Under the rolling dark clouds, two hundred-meter-long Night Demon Evil Sabers appeared, one after the other.

The two massive blades, like butcher knives, chopped down on the fish on the chopping board.

It can't be denied that the divine technique Yu Changsheng used was of a higher grade, with remarkable effects.

But the Dragon Carp Sect's two main offensive techniques, whether Dragon Carp Break or Dragon Carp Celestial Boat, both relied on ramming to defeat their enemies.

In the absence of armor for the Sea Realm great demons, even if Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang used River Grade techniques, they could still kill across ranks.

The sharp Night Demon Evil Sabers were also more suitable for killing fish!

"Boom!!"

The double sabers shattered the collapsed mountain rocks, chopping fiercely into the already damaged and fractured fish bodies.

Without hesitation, Deng Yuxiang initiated her ultimate skill again, summoning another Night Demon Evil Saber.

But before her second strike landed, Lu Ran saw the Black Carp's wraith.

Finally!

Lu Ran's face showed surprise.

What a resilient Sea Realm great demon!

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful, it was still a fish and feared the butcher's knife.

"Mission accomplished!" Lu Ran placed one hand behind his waist, gripping the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd, and with the other hand, quickly summoned a bronze mirror.

Whether it was the Fiery Sea Serpent or the Black Carp, after these demons died, their bodies remained intact and didn't disintegrate into mist.

Perfect for Little Fiery Phoenix to refine!

"Boom!!"

Deng Yuxiang's second strike finally landed.

Beside her, Jing Hong watched Deng Yuxiang cautiously, then hurriedly lowered her eyes.

In the Flame Gate Sect, the Sect Leader and Mr. Zong Long were relatively easy to get along with, but this Nightmare Guardian—well, her name suited her.

She only showed a tender side when facing the Sect Leader.

Deng Yuxiang's presence was like a mountain, always suppressing Jing Hong.

As the saying goes: Mercy is not the way to command troops.

Despite Jing Hong having no second thoughts and being completely loyal to the Flame Gate Sect, Deng Yuxiang remained very strict, adhering to the role she had defined for herself long ago.

"Move!" Lu Ran summoned a floor mirror and stepped in first.

The few arrived at the beach, where Lu Ran held the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd and extended it forward, "Eat!"

"Hum~"

The Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd happily flew forward, undulating up and down.

It drew a wavy line in the air~

Lu Ran, with his vertical pupils, absorbed the two massive wraiths.

"Roar!!"

The Fiery Sea Serpent roared in anger, its giant wraith surging uncontrollably toward Lu Ran.

Lu ran grinned.

Little Jiao, huh?

When it was alive, it was sluggish and its tail drooped, but now that it's dead, it's full of spirit?

Who knows how much Holy Spirit Qi this Sea Rank Wraith carries.

Should I activate the Fiery Sea Serpent Demon Sculpture?

Lu Ran fell into deep thought.

As a River Realm, Lu Ran has 16 sculpture activation slots, and he has already activated 14 sculptures.

There are only 2 slots left.

To get more activation slots, he'll have to wait until after the Sea Realm.

Currently, Lu Ran hasn't even activated the Sword Sect Divine Sculpture, so should he really allocate a slot to the Fiery Sea Serpent?

He needs to consider carefully.

At this moment, Lu Ran doesn't lack offensive techniques.

What he lacks are techniques with various effects.

For example, with the Ink Carp Evil Sculpture, Lu Ran didn't hesitate to activate it to be able to survive in the seabed.

Venturing into the domain of 'Sea Battles'!

Along with that, he'll gain healing techniques, control techniques, and powerful defensive techniques like Ink Carp Sunken Ship.

The Fiery Sea Serpent's body is full of demonic techniques, almost all of them offensive, except for the Amplifying Output Technique - Dragon Flame Body, which is quite enticing.

The question is, can the Amplifying Output Technique - Dragon Flame Body's effect stack with the Fiery Heaven Divinity - Fiery Heaven Tyrant?

Lu Ran isn't sure.

Anyway, the Heavenblaze Power, Barbaric Power, and Soul Splitting Devil Horn techniques that increase strength cannot have their effects stacked.

"Hoo~"

As Lu Ran pondered, the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd had already stored the massive Ink Carp corpse within its pouch.

The scene was quite fantastical.

After all, the Sea Rank Ink Carp's specifications were enormous, while the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd was only slightly larger than a palm.

The gourd's mouth was especially small!

But as it absorbed the Ink Carp, it shrank it, smoothly absorbing the corpse.

In the dim light, the golden phoenix pattern on the gourd flickered brightly.

Little Fiery Phoenix, are you enjoying your meal?

Lu Ran felt the gourd's joyful emotions and said, "You need to grow, Little Fiery Phoenix!

Absorbing only corpses is so boring; what's our goal?"

The Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd wobbled and flew left and right.

Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, "Yes, directly absorb living people!"

The Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd flew down and circled around Lu Ran.

The interaction lasted no more than two seconds before it flew back, aiming its gourd mouth at the Fiery Sea Serpent's corpse.

Lu Ran: "..."

You're really just pacifying me, aren't you! Is a massive corpse of two Sea Rank Great Demons only worthy of circling around me once?

Little Trash Phoenix!

Lu Ran secretly cursed, also busy storing the two giant souls completely into the garden.

Before the Ink Carp Wraith entered the garden, the Ink Carp Evil Sculpture was still trembling.

It hadn't stopped once!

Lu Ran was full of anticipation, eager to see how the Sea Rank Ink Carp's soul could elevate the Ink Carp Evil Sculpture.

Taking advantage of the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd absorbing the Fiery Sea Serpent, Lu Ran turned his head towards the vast sea.

The devastating battle had just ended.

Perhaps, there were still affected Ink Carp Clan members in the sea, their wraiths not yet emerged.

Yu Changsheng misunderstood, watching Lu Ran's actions and asking, "Should I gather the Ink Carp Clan's corpses for the gourd to refine?"

Lu Ran was in a great mood and laughed, "No need for you to trouble yourself."

As he spoke, he strode towards the sea.

Lu Ran didn't choose to teleport or fly but made a show of entering the sea.

Yu Changsheng's heart stirred; it seemed his Sect Leader had also joined the Ink Carp Clan's ranks.

"Hoo~"

Suddenly, several black veils appeared, surrounding Lu Ran and slowly dancing around him.

Strictly speaking, these weren't light veils but the Ink Carp Clan's fish tails and fins.

But they didn't grow on Lu Ran's body; instead, they encircled and danced around him.

Mysterious and beautiful.

Ink Carp Evil Art - Ink Carp Dance!

This art allows the caster to freely roam the skies and seas.

Amidst the torrential downpour, Lu Ran floated up and then plunged into the sea.

"Plop!"

Yu Changsheng was full of awe, silently watching this scene.

"Have Mr. Cong Long accompany him," Deng Yuxiang said softly, genuinely happy for Lu Ran, and she added another weak point.

"Okay." Yu Changsheng readily agreed, escorting Lu Ran on his first sea journey.

Not far away, on guard, Jing Hong felt her heart race; she had noticed a pattern!

After Lu Ran killed the demon, he gained its abilities!

And Lu Ran had also demonstrated the abilities of the Immortal Sheep, Fiery Heaven, and other divine sects.

Does this mean that if he kills divine sect believers, he can also acquire their corresponding abilities? With this thought, Jing Hong's heart grew more anxious.

Would the Sect Leader turn his blade on her for the War Horn Sect's abilities?

Probably not.

This young man is upright and a good person.

As a member of Sword Mountain Peak, she had participated in ambushing him, and he had many reasons to take action.

But he didn't do that; instead, he gave her a chance to live.

A new life! Jing Hong silently clenched her fists.

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out nearby, "Come out!"

Jing Hong quickly snapped back to her senses, following Deng Yuxiang's gaze towards the collapsed cliff in the distance, which sloped down to the forest.

There was no sign of anyone in the forest.

Deng Yuxiang waved, and the well-fed Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd immediately flew down.

She held the gourd, resting it at her waist, her voice cold, "Do you want me to invite you?"
