Chapter 122: Xiang Xiang Xianyang's Selection

"Come, come here."

Lu Ran murmured in his heart and also opened a pair of horizontal pupils.

In his line of sight, the Night Demon's soul was screaming angrily as it was dragged over by the Death Realm Pupils.

"Hiss!" As the Night Demon's vengeful spirit drew ever closer, she finally realized she lacked the power to escape.

Her exquisite, curvaceous, and fiery tempting body trembled continuously from extreme rage.

Those piercing screams seemed to threaten Lu Ran, demanding he let her go.

Yet Lu Ran felt not a shred of fear; instead, a trace of anticipation rose in his heart.

What kind of face lay behind that mysterious black veil?

Would it be even more beautiful than the Rouge Paper Doll?

Hmm... if she was too ashamed to show her face, perhaps she was very ugly?

"Hiss—"

The hissing sound grew fainter and fainter; the Night Demon's vengeful spirit constantly condensed before Lu Ran, sucked into his pupils.

Lu Ran did not get his wish; he failed to see the face behind the black veil.

But it didn't matter; later, when he had the ability to summon the Night Demon, he could simply lift her black veil then.

"Great nourishment."

Lu Ran thought silently.

This was a River Realm·Stage Five Night Demon soul; the wisp of "Qi" she carried within her was naturally quite dense.

Back on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month during the "Ghosts Roaming at Night," Lu Ran had already accumulated enough Night Demon souls to activate the Night Demon Yemo Yemo Xiesu at any time.

However, after activating the Yemo Yemo Xiesu, Lu Ran still had to cultivate its realm.

This single Night Demon soul was sufficient to raise the Mist Realm·Yemo Yemo Xiesu by a small stage!

After all, one River equals a hundred Mists!

Therefore, she was indeed a great source of nourishment for Lu Ran.

The only potential error was that within the Divine-Demon Sculpture Garden, there was also a Gluttonous Sheep.

Lu Ran only hoped that my lord Xiang Xiang Xianyang would spare this Night Demon soul and let her nourish the Yemo Yemo Xiesu.

After all, the demonic lair where the Night Demon resided was not open to the public, making the collection of her soul quite difficult.

If Lord Domineering Sheep insisted on eating souls, he could pick some common ones, such as Vicious Dogs or Straw Demons.

Hmm... let's hope so.

"Well done."

Wei Long spoke softly, bringing Lu Ran down to a steady landing.

Even though he was fully prepared, every time he heard this special version of the Sound of Compassion, Wei Long still felt an impulse to torment Lu Ran.

Fortunately, Wei Long possessed the foundation of strength and realm, along with human intellect and the identity of a Moon-Watcher.

He would not abuse Lu Ran, but the race of Fiendish Demons could not endure it!

If Lu Ran were to fall into the Night Demon's hands—

Wei Long believed the Night Demon would slice this little fat sheep into ten thousand pieces and execute him by slow slicing!

If the Night Demon knew how to enjoy herself, while slicing the fat mutton, she could even set up a copper hotpot nearby?

"Not bad." Another voice arrived as the Great Nightmare descended from the sky.

Lu Ran smelled the faint scent of camellia flowers, yet in his ears, he heard several barks.

How truly disappointing.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Ran and Deng Deng Yuxiang turned their heads to look toward the right front.

"Woof!"

"Woof! Woof woof!" Four or five Vicious Dogs appeared together, barking wildly.

Under normal circumstances, this situation was relatively rare.

Generally, Fiendish Demons descend alone, at most no more than two.

Even if one encountered a pack of Vicious Dogs, that was merely a team they formed by searching and gathering after descending.

As for now, situations where multiple Fiendish Demons appear simultaneously are becoming increasingly common.

"I'll handle it!" Mist churned beneath Lu Ran's feet, and he immediately darted out.

He saw at a glance that these skinny dogs were at the same level as himself.

"Lu—" Wei Long didn't react in time, his hand grasping empty air.

Is this a sheep?

This is clearly a loach; it's too slippery to hold.

"Let him go," Deng Deng Yuxiang said unhurriedly as she walked toward the battle formation, speaking casually, "It's rare to have a chance to show off."

Obviously, she intended to provide backup for Lu Ran.

"Zi—"

A phantom shadow shuttled through; hand raised, blade fell.

"Silence!" Lu Ran, wielding the Zhan Ye Dao, swiftly chopped off a dog's head.

This statement seemed directed at the Vicious Dogs, but was actually meant for the Zhan Ye Dao to overhear.

Early this morning, Lu Ran had received guidance from the divine weapon; at this moment, he began consciously cultivating the Zhan Ye Dao!

"Whimper?"

"Woof woof!"

As Lu Ran darted past the front of the dog pack, several Vicious Dogs were obviously a bit bewildered.

Lu Ran spun around sharply, sliding backward as his lifeless, horizontal pupils searched for their next target.

Slaughter dogs,

Lu Ran was a professional at it!

In fact, during his last trial, he had rampaged through the Evil Dog Village, killing in all directions.

Just thinking about it made Lu Ran feel terribly upset.

Before entering the village, he had planned to duo queue explosively with Si Si Xianxian, rake in a huge profit, and buy some cat treats or the like for Little Li Hua.

As a result, Si Si Xianxian was punished for beating people, one penalty being the confiscation of all gains from this trial.

Since the two formed a single team, Si Si Xianxian's earnings naturally counted as the team's earnings.

Therefore, Lu Ran hadn't earned a single cent!

Not only that, but he had also lost two thousand five hundred yuan!

It was only thanks to the half-price ticket for college students; otherwise, Lu Ran would have lost even more.

"Kou Kou Yingquan!" The more Lu Ran thought about it, the angrier he became; he locked onto a skinny dog and charged out once again.

"Kou Kou Yingquan?" Deng Deng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although Lu Ran was talking to himself in a very soft voice, she was certain she had heard that name.

She knew who Kou Kou Yingquan was.

From her younger brother, Deng Yutang, she had learned many things about Lu Ran, including that there was a Demon-Imprisoning student at the school who did not get along with Lu Ran at all.

As an enforcer of the Divine People Bureau and a powerful expert of the River Realm at the fifth stage, Deng Deng Yuxiang naturally would not go out of her way to visit the school just to trouble a student.

She believed Lu Ran could handle it himself.

But if she ever encountered Kou Kou Yingquan one day, she would not mind slapping his face with her broadsword to make him more cautious in the future.

Becoming a believer of the Third-Rank Divine Being, the Demon-Imprisoner, was not capital for your arrogance.

Clearly, Deng Deng Yuxiang was unaware of what had happened to Lu Ran in the Evil Dog Village at the beginning of the month.

Before this domineering believer of the Lord Bei Feng could slap Kou Kou Yingquan's face with her broadsword,

a certain irritable believer of Divine Lie Tian had already swollen Kou Kou Yingquan's face with a series of slaps!

It truly left him scrambling on the ground for his teeth.

A certain immortal had no awareness befitting a strong expert, nor did she care about rules against bullying the weak.

For a believer of Divine Lie Tian,

so what if I hit you?

If I want to hit you, I will.

If you really push me to the limit, I dare to kill you outright, do you believe that?

"Whine~"

"Whine" Once again, the evil dog let out a whimper.

Lu Ran did not understand dog barks, but he knew the habits of evil dogs very well.

They were afraid and preparing to flee.

Indeed, Lu Ran moved like a ghost, weaving freely across the battlefield, and within a short time had taken the lives of three evil dogs.

Who wouldn't feel intimidated in their heart?

The only two remaining evil dogs decisively chose to flee, yet they were forcibly halted in their tracks by a mournful cry.

When both sides were at the same realm, Lu Ran was indeed a existence akin to a calamity.

That strange divine technique, the Sound of Dread, did not take effect by provoking or mocking the opponent, but by arousing the beastly desires within the evil spirit's heart!

This divine technique produced the same effect as ordinary provocation methods.

However, the nature of the Sound of Dread and its underlying logic were completely different!

"Hiss!"

The blade pierced into the skull; Lu Ran immediately turned his head to look at the last evil dog charging at him.

Finished and done, hmm?

"Woof!"

A few meters to the front-left, another dog bark rang out.

This seemingly ordinary dog bark made Lu Ran feel extremely irritable inside!

The blade he was already swinging at the enemy even became three parts sharper.

Xie Fa: Evil Bark!

This was a Xie Fa that the Evil Dog clan could only equip upon reaching the first stage of the River Realm.

This was a provocation technique that could make one's heart troubled and chaotic, subsequently causing fury to burn within.

It was just like when you were sleeping at home, and at two or three in the morning, the neighbor's dog suddenly started barking.

Not only did it wake you up, but it kept barking, making it impossible for you to find peace.

In your state of agitation, you would, to some extent, feel a rise of anger.

And the barking of the Evil Dog clan was essentially a Xie Fa; it could launch a mental assault on the enemy, naturally making it easier to enrage the target.

"Be quiet!"

After slaughtering the enemy before him, Lu Ran felt incredibly annoyed; gripping his dual blades, he charged straight toward that River Realm evil dog.

During his trial in the Evil Dog Village, Lu Ran had naturally encountered many evil dogs at the early stages of the River Realm and had often been disturbed to agitation by this sound.

Looking at the evil dog before him now, judging by its size, it was probably at the second or third stage of the River Realm?

"Whoosh~"

Contrary to Lu Ran's expectations, the evil dog suddenly flickered away!

Its massive body instantly appeared behind Lu Ran.

Xie Fa: Evil Shadow Flash!

This technique allows the Evil Dog to perform a blink over a short distance!

Whenever the Evil Dog clan is mentioned, the first thing people think of is their powerful Agility attribute.

And when the Evil Dog clan reaches River Realm Stage Three, this clan's already prominent characteristics may once again undergo a qualitative leap!

Why use the word "may"?

Because the Evil Dog clan's intellect is exceedingly low!

Such a high-level technique is truly difficult to appear on a River Realm Evil Dog.

Even among Jiang Jing Evil Dogs, eight or nine out of ten would be unable to comprehend it.

"Damn!"

Lu Ran's pupils contracted slightly as he heard the dangerous hunting growl of "wu-wu" behind him.

He was completely startled awake, mist surging beneath his feet as he darted forward.

To be honest, it is precisely because the Evil Dog clan lacks intellect that they have failed to earn a corresponding reputation.

Just look at this clan's list of Xie Fa!

There is Evil Sense, there is Evil Agility, and there is Evil Shadow Flash.

If any of these Xie Fa were equipped onto a humanoid evil spirit, their threat level to humans would likely be no less than that of the Night Phantoms!

The Evil Dog Yemo Yemo Xiesu truly lives up to being the statue that My Lord Xiang Xiang Xianyang first ordered Lu Ran to activate.

Four big characters: Xiang Xiang Xianyang's Selection!

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Several sounds of blades entering flesh came from behind Lu Ran again.

He looked back, only to see the Evil Dog flying horizontally through the air.

Under the flying stabs of wind blades, the Evil Dog's slender body bent into the shape of a bow!

"Whine~ whine-whine."

The Evil Dog's body was pierced, blood flowing endlessly from the bloody holes.

It howled in pain, blinking once more, leaving only the wind blades flying horizontally in the air.

Deng Deng Yuxiang's ears twitched slightly; following the thin dog's whimpering sounds, the palm holding her blade suddenly flung upward.

"Whoosh!!"

In the night sky, a tornado suddenly formed, swallowing the Evil Dog within it.

At the same time, the Night-Slaying Great Blade in her hand also shot forward with rapid stabs.

If the Evil Dog had been near everyone, Deng Deng Yuxiang would not have dared to unleash this domineering Divine Art: Lord Bei Feng Roar.

But since it fled on its own toward the night sky, it was no different from seeking its own death.

"Do you hate Kou Kou Yingquan so much?" Amidst the fierce wind sounds, Deng Deng Yuxiang's cold voice came through.

"Huh?" Lu Ran was still somewhat shaken, when suddenly he felt his brain go "buzz"!

Within the Divine-Demon Sculpture Garden, the Evil Dog Yemo Yemo Xiesu began to tremble!

Was it finally about to advance to the River Realm?

Good, very good!

This meant that the Xie Fa: Evil Bark was ready and waiting; once he advanced to the River Realm, he could unleash it.

However, this low-level provocative technique was completely incomparable to the Divine Art: Sound of Despair personally transmitted by My Lord Xiang Xiang Xianyang!

What Lu Ran wanted even more was the Xie Fa: Evil Shadow Flash that the Evil Dog clan possesses at River Realm Stage Three.

Once equipped, he would never again have to worry about leaving home without his house key!

Nor would he need to trouble the Prisoned Demon believers to help open windows and pick locks.

Begging for some votes.
