Chapter 94: The Mysterious Black Lantern

Chapter 94: The Mysterious Black Lantern

Chen Jing rushed over and with a single strike, split the Straw Demon in half.

Although he had eliminated the demon, he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

After all, this Straw Demon was terrified, pleading for mercy, and had no ability to resist at all.

"Pfft~"

The Straw Demon's body turned into mist and surged towards Chen Jing's head.

Apparently, this Red Turban believer had hidden the Divine Energy Orb inside his turban.

"What are you doing?" Chen Jing turned to look at Lu Ran.

"Killing demons, of course," Lu Ran said matter-of-factly.

Chen Jing looked at Lu Ran's strange dead sheep eyes and immediately realized that this was the Divine Vision Spell of the Immortal Sheep Sect.

Chen Jing couldn't believe it. He had expected the Immortal Sheep believer to avoid or fear combat, but here he was, standing so dominantly and forcefully! He had even cornered a demon against the wall, crushing it to the point of trembling! It was truly bizarre.

Chen Jing didn't understand, but he liked it!

Due to the unique nature of the Divine Sheep, its followers rarely engaged in combat after leaving school.

Whether it was the Divine Citizen Bureau or the various military units, one rarely saw the shadow of an Immortal Sheep believer.

Of course, no one wanted to associate with such people, and no one dared to trust their backs to such "comrades."

But this Immortal Sheep believer before him seemed quite rebellious.

His posture and momentum were even more demonic than the demons themselves! Could it be because of puberty?

Chen Jing lifted his sword and sized up Lu Ran, "If you're going to kill demons, then do it!"

Lu Ran spread his hands, "I came out in a hurry and didn't bring my sword."

Not only did he not bring his sword,

but he was also completely empty-handed, even barefoot on the cold cement ground.

"Then just use your sheep horns," Chen Jing waved his hand dismissively, puzzled, "What did the patrol team want with you?"

"To help kill a demon," Lu Ran replied casually.

Chen Jing became even more confused, his face filled with disbelief, "Help kill a demon? You're asking me? With your strength and cultivation, how can you be of any help?"

Lu Ran's voice was faint, "This Red Turban uncle, watch your words.

My family's small divine statue is right behind the window."

Chen Jing's face turned awkward, and he was momentarily speechless.

No matter how puzzled he was, the reality was right before him:

The powerful Ms. Deng Yuxiang had specifically come here to seek help from this young man.

"Do you have any special abilities?" Chen Jing's words stumbled, "And you don't shy away from combat?"

Lu Ran was speechless.

Wow~

You're even giving interviews now?

Lu Ran looked at the bare-chested big man in front of him and secretly mocked, "You don't look like a proper Moon Gazer either."

As he stared, Lu Ran suddenly blurted out, "Uncle, are twin blades useful?"

"Of course they are!" Chen Jing weighed the two single blades in his hands.

Lu Ran, "I've been practicing with twin blades recently, but my left hand doesn't seem to have enough strength, and it feels awkward."

"Ha!" Chen Jing's spirit rose, full of enthusiasm, "Twin blades do have their techniques..."

Chen Jing suddenly realized that it was the night of the full moon!

Since he couldn't get any information out of this young man, what was the point of continuing the conversation?

Chen Jing said immediately, "You should go home now and not linger outside."

Lu Ran, "If you have time, can you give me some pointers?"

Chen Jing's face turned solemn, finally showing a bit of the proper demeanor of a Moon Gazer, "Go home immediately, or I'll notify the school and deduct points from you."

Lu Ran remained silent for a moment before saying, "Uncle, let me tell you a story."

Chen Jing raised his eyebrows, "When do I have time to listen to your story?"

Lu Ran began without hesitation, "Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to go home."

Chen Jing, who had just been puffing and glaring, became puzzled again, "And then?"

Lu Ran shrugged, "Then he realized he didn't have his house keys."

Chen Jing: ???

Chen Jing stared at Lu Ran for a long time before bursting into laughter, "Hahaha..."

Lu Ran, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable, "Is my story that funny?"

Chen Jing laughed as he looked at Lu Ran, focusing on his cold eyes,

"You almost stepped on the Straw Demon's face, and the demon even knelt and begged for mercy.

And you're telling me you can't open your own window?"

Lu Ran: "..."

If the glass breaks, won't it need to be replaced?

The demon is shattered, and it doesn't need to be repaired.

Lu Ran sighed, "Uncle, do you know how to pick locks?"

Chen Jing turned and walked towards the window, "I, a dignified Red Turban believer, walk the righteous path and sit upright. What are you talking about?"

Then, he gripped the twin blades with one hand and raised his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, "After unlocking it, you can find someone to fix it."

Lu Ran's voice was faint as he repeated, "My family's small divine statue is right next to the window."

Chen Jing held his fist in mid-air, frozen for a long time, but he couldn't bring himself to smash it forward.

His rugged face turned bright red.

Indeed, a true Red Turban believer.

"Uncle?"

"Don't disturb me! I'm thinking!"

Lu Ran: "..."

The bare-chested man stroked his chin, frowning in deep thought.

After a while, he placed a hand on his ear, where an invisible earpiece was apparently hidden, "Send someone to open the window of Lu Ran's house!

This kid has completed his mission and can't get back home."

Lu Ran looked at the Red Turban man, his face full of approval, "Good tactic!"

The Red Turban Divine Art was indeed upright, and there was no technique for opening windows or picking locks.

Chen Jing was so amused that he was about to say something, but Lu Ran suddenly raised his hand and pointed behind him, "Black Lantern!"

Chen Jing's expression changed, and he quickly turned around, pulling Lu Ran back with him.

Lu Ran retreated step by step, looking at the palm that protected him, and sighed in his heart.

It had to be a Moon Gazer!

Regardless of this man's appearance or his bare chest,

even if he was running naked in the rain,

he was still running for the safety of the people's lives and property!

"Back off!" Chen Jing shouted sternly, looking up, "I'll deal with it.

"

The size of the Black Lantern Clan had no correlation with their strength, hence his statement.

Lu Ran also looked up, and saw that the black lantern was simple and rustic, resembling an ancient lantern with four sides.

Its appearance was not exquisite, with a black wooden frame that was dilapidated, and one could vaguely see the carved patterns on it.

There was a black wooden handle above the lantern, and black tassels hung below.

What was unique was that the lantern's skin was also pure black!

That was not the end of it; the key was that the burning lantern flame was also black!

Such a thing did not deserve to be called a "lantern".

Because it simply had no illuminating capabilities!

From another perspective, it was convenient for these demons to hide.

"Huff"

The black lantern trembled with energy, releasing a large amount of black smoke.

Stream Essence Evil Technique: Smoke Cage!

"Nice move," Lu Ran praised silently, his eyes fixed on the center of the smoke.

Lu Ran possessed the Evil Technique: Evil Insight, which allowed him to see through the pitch-black night.

But at this moment, Lu Ran lost his target.

He couldn't see through the thick black smoke, and what was more terrifying was that the black lantern's color perfectly matched the dense smoke!

The most effective way to deal with this evil technique was to stir up a strong wind and disperse the smoke.

Obviously, the Red Turban Believer did not possess such a divine technique.

"Come out!" Chen Jing roared and dashed out.

In an instant, Lu Ran's battle intent surged, his heart pounding!

In Chen Jing's roar, the Red Turban War Cry Technique was clearly added.

This technique, though not a taunt, could also make the black lantern's battle intent soar, urging the enemy to engage in a head-on confrontation from an opposing perspective.

"Bang!!"

Just as Chen Jing rushed into the black smoke, an explosion sounded.

Lu Ran knew that the black lantern had used the Demonic Art: Cataclysmic Flame Cage!

The character "disaster" here had two meanings.

One was for humans, who would suffer intense explosive damage, possibly leading to a devastating disaster.

The second meaning was for the black lantern itself.

This evil technique would kill a thousand enemies but also damage itself by eight hundred.

After all, the black lantern was detonating itself to bomb the enemy.

"Damn, what a bear." Amidst the rolling black smoke, Chen Jing's cursing voice could be heard, "Come on!!"

The battle cry came again, and Lu Ran's battle intent soared!

Lu Ran immediately closed his eyes and listened carefully to the enemy's location.

Unexpectedly, he heard Chen Jing's voice again: "Kid, don't be afraid!

Just a Stream Realm, hmph, let me catch you, and I'll squeeze you to death!"

Lu Ran: .

With your shouting, I'm all fired up!

I can't wait to strip off my clothes, charge into the thick smoke, and fight for three hundred rounds. What am I afraid of?

Also, who are you cursing?

What's wrong with the Stream Realm?

The Stream Realm should be squeezed to death by you. Hmm?

"Right rear!" Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Chen Jing exclaimed in surprise.

"Bang!!"

Almost simultaneously, a violent explosion erupted from Chen Jing's right rear.

"Damn it, cough cough." Chen Jing cursed, only to be choked by the smoke again.

Lu Ran hummed: "If you don't listen, then forget it.

Why don't you just stand still with the Water Armor in place.

Anyway, the black lantern will blow itself up."

Chen Jing: ???

Is this even human speech?

"Huff~~"

The thick smoke billowed, covering an increasingly large area.

"Chen Jing?" A voice called out, and a teammate rushed over.

"Stream Realm: Black Lantern, no problem." Chen Jing responded loudly, reassuring his teammate.

At the same time, Lu Ran's voice came again: "Retreat!"

This time, Chen Jing did not hesitate; he immediately retreated, flying backward.

"Boom!"

This explosion was far more intense than the previous ones.

After listening for a moment, Lu Ran opened his eyes.

Finally, the black lantern had blown itself up.

In fact, the Black Lantern Clan was not so incompetent.

This clan's first evil technique was a healing evil technique, which could fully restore itself and find an opportunity to fight again.

Unfortunately, the black lantern encountered a Red Turban Believer, and Chen Jing's taunts got to him.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran's mind became active.

If he could activate the black lantern sculpture, then when facing strong enemies, could he hide in the black smoke and fight the opponent?

This would be a huge advantage!

He could fight without using his eyes, but the enemy couldn't!

Moreover, the Black Lantern Clan also had healing evil techniques!

At that time, he could also equip himself with it as a means of healing.

Tsk~

It's quite tempting!

The only downside was that these evil techniques could not be shown to others.

However, to kill enemies and ensure survival, activating the black lantern sculpture was still a good choice.

"Huff"

The smoke lost its energy supply and gradually dissipated in the slanting wind and drizzle.

Chen Jing held twin blades, his face full of surprise as he walked over: "How did you know where the black lantern was?"

Lu Ran watched as the illusory lantern image kept approaching and was eventually sucked into a pair of slanted pupils.

Chen Jing kept asking: "How did you know where I was?"

Lu Ran grinned: "You kept cursing, who doesn't know where you are?"

"Oh, that's not right!" Chen Jing frowned, "The black lantern didn't curse either!"

Lu Ran's expression was ancient: "I bet it did, but you didn't hear it~"

Chen Jing: .
