Chapter 440: Heart-Piercing Strike!

Chapter 440: Heart-Piercing Strike!

The rain grew heavier and heavier.

Lu Ran, accompanied by Yu Changsheng and two divine generals, stealthily made their way to a forest several kilometers away.

The ultimate move he had mentioned earlier was sternly stopped by Yu Changsheng.

The Sheep Transformation divine technique could indeed temporarily disable an enemy's combat abilities, transforming them into a vulnerable lamb.

However, this technique was only effective against opponents of the same cultivation realm, and the consequences were severe! Once used, Lu Ran's physical strength and divine power would be completely drained, and it might even damage his soul.

In an instant, Lu Ran would enter a state of physical exhaustion, and even with Yu Changsheng's exceptional healing abilities, he couldn't be restored to full health immediately!

Moreover, it was uncertain when Yan Shuangzi would successfully advance.

At this critical moment, Lu Ran couldn't afford to be weak; he needed to preserve his strength to deal with potential enemies that might appear.

Seeing Yu Changsheng's repeated stern warnings, Lu Ran nodded decisively.

In truth, Lu Ran had only mentioned his ultimate move to reassure Yu Changsheng.

Lu Ran had made up his mind to go and eliminate the Blazing Heaven Sect follower alone!

"Halt!" Lu Ran lowered his voice, stepped onto a black cloud, and slowly flew up to the middle of a towering tree, quietly peeking out from behind a tree trunk.

In the forest hundreds of meters away, a short woman leaned against a tree, her expression as calm as still water.

A tall, robust young man paced back and forth, occasionally slapping his head as if in a constant state of extreme irritability.

He resembled a wild beast ready to devour anyone in its path!

"Damn it!" Shi Guangwei cursed aloud, his patience completely exhausted, "Why hasn't he returned yet?"

"Guangwei!" Shi Yali reprimanded him again.

Phoenix Cry!

This technique could awaken the minds of all beings, dispelling any mental abnormalities.

Shi Guangwei's steps abruptly halted.

Shi Yali sighed deeply in her heart.

If not for their auxiliary divine techniques and their familial bond, who could control such an irritable madman?

Having reached the peak of the River Realm, Shi Guangwei was undoubtedly a ticking time bomb.

The illness—Blazing Heaven!

Uncurable!

He didn't even need external triggers; Shi Guangwei could explode on his own!

Soon, Shi Guangwei's expression turned grim again, and he cursed, "Damn it! Why is it taking so long?"

Shi Yali also sensed that something was amiss and said, "Guangwei, let's leave first."

"What? Leave?" Shi Guangwei was immediately displeased. "You're a Sea Realm cultivator, always cautious and considerate, and you still have the face to call yourself a Sea Realm cultivator?"

Shi Yali suppressed her anger and was about to speak when she heard her younger brother say, "If you ask me, you're just protecting me. Let's charge in and get it done!"

"Calm down!" Shi Yali's voice became sterner. "The Crow has been gone for so long; it's likely that they've been exposed or captured. We should retreat first."

Although she said this, in her heart, she added, "Or maybe they've escaped."

Ever since her younger brother advanced to the Fifth Stage of the River Realm, his emotions had become increasingly difficult to control.

Even as a Sea Realm cultivator with techniques to awaken and soothe others, Shi Yali struggled to keep Shi Guangwei under control.

"Then we should go!" Shi Guangwei exclaimed.

After such a long wait, all he got was a command to retreat?

How could his agitated heart calm down unless it shattered two skulls?

Moreover, this was a task personally assigned by the divine being before sending him to the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm!

Follow your heart!

What does it mean to follow your heart?

Don't hold back, don't have reservations, just do it!

Shi Guangwei clenched his Zen staff and shouted, "If you want to leave, go! I'm going..."

Before he could finish, a sudden energy fluctuation was detected.

As a seasoned veteran, Shi Guangwei immediately sensed the anomaly. Without a moment's hesitation, he smashed his golden staff down.

Shi Yali's expression changed dramatically!

She, too, was experienced in combat, and as a Sea Realm powerhouse, her perception of the environment was even sharper.

Upon sensing the anomaly, Shi Yali swiftly raised her hand, and behind her, a pair of broad, white wings suddenly unfolded.

As the woman lifted her hand, the wings also shielded her face.

Phoenix Wings!

This technique granted Phoenix followers the ability to fly, and the wings of the Phoenix Clan possessed formidable defensive capabilities.

Shi Yali had many ways to break the stalemate.

For instance, the Phoenix Cry technique that could stir up violent winds and waves, or the Phoenix Wings technique that created a circle of wind and waves around her body—all of these could change the situation.

Shi Yali chose to use the Phoenix Clan's wings for defense, granting herself the ability to fly, and rapidly retreated backward.

Lu Ran felt he had overestimated the sibling bond between the two.

Or perhaps, this wasn't Shi Yali's autonomous choice.

In such a short time, how could she have the chance to weigh the pros and cons and make the best decision? It was all Shi Yali's instinctive reaction.

"Bang!"

The siblings had different personalities; one unleashed furious attacks, while the other retreated with a defensive move.

However, the one who acted first was, of course, the ambusher! Lu Ran forcefully inserted himself between the two, and in the instant he appeared, he stomped hard on the ground.

The earth was torn up, and waves of energy rose!

Soul Shattering Devil Hoof!

"Damn it!" Shi Guangwei cursed, staggering backward from the impact.

"Careful!" Shi Yali exclaimed in surprise, her expression filled with shock.

In the pitch-black environment, Shi Yali couldn't see the battlefield clearly, but she could sense a terrifying surge of energy rushing towards her.

What technique was this?

Threaded Silk Robe!

Lu Ran had been wanting to create chaos like this!

In the mortal world, when would he have the chance to wear this revealing, sexy, bright red dress?

Lu Ran roared inwardly, feeling his body sink as if a thousand pounds of weight were pressing down on him:

"You! Just! Give! Me! Boom!"

"Huuu!"

Energy surged, and red threads filled the air like a sea!

The tattered and heavy red dress shot out countless red threads.

Dense and overlapping, layer upon layer!

Like a seductive deep red sea, it surged towards all directions.

The Shi siblings were instantly separated!

The difference was that Shi Yali retreated backward on her own, while Shi Guangwei was flipped over by the red waves.

"You motherfcker, you're asking for death!"

Shi Guangwei was like a ticking time bomb, and at this moment, he had exploded! He roared in anger, and as he flew backward, his body ignited with raging flames.

Blaze Heaven Tyrant!

This was a technique for overpowered killing, capable of significantly increasing damage output.

As expected of a high-level Blazing Heaven Follower, he didn't even bother to assess the situation and immediately unleashed his ultimate move!

As for his own life, as for the fact that once this technique was activated, he couldn't stop it and would eventually exhaust himself to the point of collapse...

To hell with that!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Shi Yali's eyes narrowed, her face turning ashen.

In the pitch-black environment, Shi Guangwei, engulfed in flames, stood out vividly.

And in the face of Shi Guangwei's unleashed Phoenix Cry, even Shi Yali, a Sea Realm powerhouse, dared not approach him!

The explosive output of a Blazing Heaven Follower was just that overbearing!

"Die!" Shi Guangwei's veins bulged, and he fiercely waved his staff towards the front.

Blaze Heaven Dome!

A phantom hammer shadow, ablaze with raging flames, struck straight towards the surging deep red waves.

"Boom!"

Flames erupted, and fire raged!

But it didn't hit the red waves; instead, it struck a giant tree from a distance.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Boom!"

The earth shook, and the sound was deafening!

Shi Guangwei's attacks didn't stop; he seemed insane, swinging his hammer again and again.

Now, it wasn't just a matter of creating a deep pit with each hammer strike; the entire mountain would be torn apart!

The raging sea of flames spread wildly in the rainy night.

However, someone had already carried the raging red waves and vanished in a flash.

This output intensity?!

This output frequency?!

If Lu Ran had been grazed by even a tiny bit, his body would have been torn to shreds.

Two hundred meters away, Lu Ran had already taken off the revealing and provocative red dress.

Hearing the continuous explosions, he couldn't help but smirk.

Damn!

I just entered the scene and started causing chaos, and you're also meeting me with chaos?

In the dark night sky, Shi Yali had just opened her mouth when she suddenly turned her head towards the back.

The Cold Moon Sword hung at her waist, sensing the aura of a fellow divine weapon.

The Cold Moon Saber, on the other hand, showed no special reaction, as if it were dead.

"Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

In the pitch-black rainy night, a string of water flow arrows rushed towards them.

And below the arrows, a three-pronged, double-edged saber rapidly pierced through, leaving a thin trail of water in its wake.

Shi Yali's pupils constricted!

Not two divine weapons, but three!

Including the one from before, there were three divine weapons!

Damn!

Shi Yali also cursed inwardly; how could the opponent possess so many divine weapons?

They had been hunting geese all these divine weapons?

Shi Yali felt like she had been hunting geese all day, only to be hunted herself!

These people were a bunch of murderous thieves!

"Baa~~~"

In the pitch-black rainy night, a sheep's bleat suddenly echoed.

It sent chills down one's spine!

Two hundred meters away, Lu Ran stood not far from Shi Guangwei's right rear, bleating loudly.

Divine Sheep Sect's Sheep's Desolate Cry!

Aren't you Blazing Heaven followers hot-tempered? Aren't you vicious? Isn't your killing intent boiling?

Come!

Harm me, trample me, kill me!

Look at me straight!

"You ahhhhhh!" Shi Guangwei instinctively turned his head, throwing out a phantom hammer shadow.

In the instant of his attack, he saw a pair of enchanting red pupils in a pitch-black forest.

Threaded Silk Robe Technique!

"Ahhhhhh!" Shi Guangwei clutched his hair tightly, his face contorted, and his forehead veins bulging.

"Swoosh~" Lu Ran's figure flashed.

This was a battle with zero tolerance for mistakes!

Not even a sliver of error was acceptable!

Lu Ran didn't dare get close either, even if Shi Guangwei wildly swung his staff and touched Lu Ran, it would likely result in a severe injury.

Because the phantom hammer shadow on Shi Guangwei's staff was the Divine Hammer Technique.

Its output effect was greatly amplified!

"Bang!" A dull sound echoed as Shi Guangwei was knocked back, heavily crashing into a large tree.

Lu Ran's left hand reached to his side, and his right hand rose abruptly.

Cursed Mirror Technique!

Evil Fangs Technique!

"Crack!"

Two rows of canine teeth appeared, biting fiercely into Shi Guangwei's trembling body.

Shi Guangwei: !!!

The mental strength of the Blazing Heaven Sect was already below average.

And in the spiritual world, after being subjected to the "Ten Thousand Threads Piercing the Body" of the Threaded Pupil, Shi Guangwei's water flow armor naturally became extremely unstable.

This Evil Fangs attack almost tore his armor apart.

"You!"

Shi Guangwei swung his hammer like a madman, his curses abruptly cut off.

Because the ancient bronze mirror in front of Lu Ran's left hand transformed into a teleportation mirror.

Mirror Flower Moon Sorcery!

And Lu Ran's right hand directly reached into the mirror.

Divine Heavenly Python Technique!

Ten meters behind the tree where Shi Guangwei was, a hand emerged from the teleportation mirror, and a phantom giant python appeared in front of the palm!

"Hiss!!!

The phantom white-scaled python shattered thick trees, fiercely impacting Shi Guangwei, carrying him forward with a howl.

"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out.

Underneath Shi Guangwei's fiery body, the water flow armor constructed from divine power was shattered.

Shi Guangwei coughed up blood, his eyes turning white.

It was unclear if this was due to severe injury or anger.

The 30-meter-long phantom python finally passed through Shi Guangwei's body.

But Shi Guangwei's forward momentum continued, and on his path, two rows of canine teeth appeared again.

"Crack!"

The blazing body was bitten in half at the waist.

The attack was executed with smooth and precise movements!

Shi Guangwei's eyes widened, his forehead veins bulging as if about to burst.

"Hmph." Lu Ran turned his head, gazing at the distant forest.

In the golden fine rain, as bright as day, with tiny water droplets floating, the Divine Carp and Canglong Sea Domain!

Obviously, these were Yu Changsheng and Luo Ying's perception techniques, the Eternal Carp and Canglong Sea Domain!

The three did not disappoint Lu Ran's expectations; they held back and trapped the Sea Realm Powerhouse, Shi Yali.

Similarly, Lu Ran did not disappoint their expectations either.

He single-handedly killed the Fifth Stage Sea Domain Blazing Heaven follower!

From start to finish, there was no desperate struggle, no close-quarters combat, and he controlled the opponent from beginning to end.

Question: How should one face a pair of unbeatable opponents?

Answer: Divide and conquer!

Question: How should one deal with the explosive offense of a Blazing Heaven follower, where a single touch is deadly?

Answer: Even simpler.

Don't let them touch you!

"Hu~"

Shi Guangwei's two severed body parts were still burning, and a wisp of a wraith floated out.

"You filthy dog!" Shi Guangwei's anger reached its peak, his curses unbearable to hear.

Lu Ran let out a cold laugh.

Failed to kill and got killed instead, panicking?

Lu Ran directly summoned a cloud of black fog, quickly capturing Shi Guangwei's soul within it.

The next moment, the soul flame ignited!

"Ahhhhhh!" Shi Guangwei's filthy curses immediately turned into pitiful screams.

But Lu Ran suddenly extinguished the soul flame, staring intently at the soul in his palm, "You want to take advantage of others' misfortunes and kill us, the robbers?"

Shi Guangwei's eyes widened in fury!

Lu Ran's voice turned cold, "Neither you nor your sister will get away! I want your lives, your souls, everything!"

"I want your staff, your sister's divine weapons, and the magical orb too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soul flame in Lu Ran's palm reignited!

"Ahhhhh! Ah!" Shi Guangwei screamed pitifully once more.

Lu Ran had just extinguished the soul flame, as if to ensure Shi Guangwei heard his words clearly.

Killing,

And breaking hearts!
