Chapter 127: One Person Is Enough

This Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts lasted only a little over an hour.

After 12:30 AM, the figures of the Savage Clan became fewer and fewer.

Not only that, the number of other demons invading the world also dropped sharply.

By 3:00 AM, the Battle of the Fifteenth was nearing its end.

This old, small city gradually quieted down; occasionally, a sound would come from somewhere, only to quickly return to silence.

Lu Ran never went home.

Since the battle at the Rain Alley residential area, he had forced himself to stay in the team with an incredibly tough attitude.

This terrifying speed of rise was also telling all human believers:

Do not use your conventional eyes to judge the geniuses of this world.

People also personally realized just how terrifying a Fairy Sheep believer who was neither cowardly nor weak could be!

Just the Divine Technique: Fairy Hooves was a divine skill that many believers dreamed of!

When it wasn't used for panicked fleeing, but for fierce slaughter...

A Fairy Sheep believer was simply terrifyingly sharp!

Even swifter by three points than the believers of the Second-Class God, North Wind!

Not to mention the special uses of Fairy Hooves and the special uses of the Sound of Compassion.

On this dim, rainy night, Lu Ran, this Fairy Sheep believer, was just like the yellow raincoat he wore.

The color was particularly bright.

Unique and dazzling!

Over the past forty years, Da Xia had seen many talents emerge.

But spread across the various regions, their numbers were pitifully small.

And now, this dilapidated Rain Alley city seemed to have finally welcomed its own star of military command.

As for the end,

Whether it would hang high in the night sky or collapse halfway...

Leave it to fate.

"Clang, clang, clang."

The blade continuously brushed against the iron railing of the overpass, emitting crisp sounds.

Once again, Lu Ran followed the team to the vicinity of Hexi Park and stepped onto the familiar overpass.

This narrow, old overpass was not friendly to Deng Yuxiang.

Or perhaps she was just too stubborn, insisting on walking right down the center of every path.

Every time she passed through here, her blood-stained, long, thin Night-Slaying Great Blade would always bump and scrape against the bridge railing.

The sky was brightening bit by bit, but the city remained dim.

In the residential buildings on both sides of the overpass, warm lights were still glowing.

In the distant rain curtain, the high-rise buildings vaguely visible also had some light.

Lu Ran had forgotten how many times he had walked across this overpass tonight.

But every time, his state of mind seemed to be slightly different.

"Clang, clang, clang."

Lu Ran listened to the rhythmic, crisp sounds, watching Deng Yuxiang's tall back in front of him.

A moment later, he lowered his head and looked at the Rosy Dawn Blade in his hand.

Even after killing all night, with countless souls under his blade, finally killing until the sky began to brighten...

But in this small city forever shrouded in overcast rain, where could one see the rosy dawn?

Tonight, Lu Ran had given the Night-Silent Blade too much care, yet the Rosy Dawn Blade couldn't wait for its moment.

Hmm... a bit uncomfortable.

Lu Ran, like the Night-Silent Blade, had also gained a lot.

He had detained a large number of demon souls.

He was almost stuffed!

The Savage Female Ba's evil sculpture was already in a state ready to be activated; Lu Ran could open it at any time.

As long as the Fairy Sheep Lord didn't steal a bite, after the Savage Clan's evil sculpture was activated, it might even approach the River Realm...

The so-called "Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts" could be replaced by four other words—large quantity, satisfyingly full.

Unfortunately, during the Night Charm Clan's Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts, Lu Ran had spent most of his time in the shelter, suffering a huge loss.

On the night of the fifteenth last month, the Fairy Sheep Lord had rarely reprimanded Lu Ran, telling him to go out and fight instead of practicing at home.

The Sheep Boss did indeed have reason to lose his temper.

Lu Ran's gains tonight were truly ridiculously large!

Besides demon souls, Lu Ran had also absorbed the souls of believers from different gods.

The night of the fifteenth,

Was a day of suffering for the human race.

It was also a carnival night for the demon race and Lu Ran.

The Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts,

Was a great disaster descending upon the world.

But it was also a gluttonous feast for the Savage Female Ba and Lu Ran.

Don't misunderstand; on the battlefield, Lu Ran had already given his all.

Just like when he rescued the Red Headband believer, Chen Realm, earlier.

If Lu Ran wanted that Red Headband believer's soul, he had ten thousand reasons to stand still.

Lu Ran was not a Moon-Gazing person, just a small fry at the Stream Realm, Fourth Stage.

What did he have to rescue a dignified River Realm Red Headband believer?

Lu Ran went anyway.

Carrying Fairy Hooves and the Sound of Mournful Panic, he rushed up without hesitation.

He still remembered what he had said to Chen Realm before leaving home this morning:

"No matter how far, I will rush to save you."

Not just for Chen Realm, Lu Ran had tried his best to help every comrade within his capabilities.

Absorbing souls was one thing.

Helping his own kind to defend against the enemy together was another.

The Fairy Sheep Lord had also said he wouldn't force Lu Ran to slaughter his own kind.

This aligned with Lu Ran's values and also conformed to his inner persistence.

"It's over."

Deng Yuxiang's voice was very light, so light that only Lu Ran could hear it.

The sound of the blade brushing against the iron railing stopped, and Deng Yuxiang stood in the center of the overpass.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran didn't stop his pace, coming to Deng Yuxiang's side.

"It's over; it's been a long time since I heard any sound."

Deng Yuxiang raised her head slightly, her gaze piercing through the layers of rain curtain, looking into the distance at the high-rise buildings.

"Hmm." Lu Ran pondered for a moment, "Indeed, there's only the sound of wind and rain now."

Deng Yuxiang suddenly raised her right hand and wrapped it around Lu Ran's shoulder: "Tonight, you performed very well."

"Hmm..." Lu Ran pondered, not knowing how to respond.

"Beyond my expectations." Deng Yuxiang sighed.

The youth beside her was just as unreal as the Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

It was just that,

One was a beautiful dream, the other a nightmare.

Deng Yuxiang had a deep understanding of Lu Ran's extremely terrifying talent.

But tonight, Lu Ran had demonstrated the word "talent" in a concrete way.

That terrifying learning ability, battlefield reading ability, and execution ability were simply visible to the naked eye.

Lu Ran had only needed three Savage Female Ba to complete the process from observation to analysis to actual combat and taking his first kill.

Since that solo kill, Lu Ran had been unstoppable.

He used the well-known Divine Technique: Fairy Hooves, and spat out faint, mournful sounds, yet he was doing incredibly strange acts of slaughter.

The effect was extraordinary, and the battle record was brilliant.

"If there were a few more brave Fairy Sheep believers like you in this world, it would be great," Deng Yuxiang said softly.

Lu Ran: "Just me."

"Hmm?" Deng Yuxiang turned her head to look at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran confirmed: "I also want the human race to rise and launch a strong counterattack.

But there is only one such Fairy Sheep believer in this world, and there will never be a second."

Normally, Lu Ran shouldn't have refuted like this; he could have just said a few words to brush it off.

The reason he said this was to state his attitude.

Not to Deng Yuxiang, but to his own god, the Fairy Sheep!

Lu Ran didn't know if the god was watching him.

Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't.

Regardless, Lu Ran had to show the Fairy Sheep that choosing him was absolutely correct.

Lu Ran would not let down the Fairy Sheep's gift and expectations.

That god-demon sculpture garden could just sit in his mind.

The Fairy Sheep Lord didn't need to go and examine or consider anyone else.

"Hehe." Deng Yuxiang laughed dumbly.

She naturally didn't know why Lu Ran had such a reaction; she moved her palm up and pressed it against the back of his head.

Lu Ran had thought she was going to kiss her own raincoat hood again.

But he didn't expect Deng Yuxiang to use her forehead to gently bump Lu Ran's head.

"Thump~"

Lu Ran: "..."

What kind of action was this?

Did you really take me for a sheep?

You should have said so earlier; I would have activated the Divine Technique: Fairy Horns for you to bump against...

"Good, just you." Deng Yuxiang looked deeply into Lu Ran's cold, horizontal pupils.

Afterward, she rubbed Lu Ran's head and walked away.

Lu Ran stood where he was, watching the Great Nightmare's retreating figure, faintly hearing her murmuring whisper again:

"One is enough, right?"

Lu Ran nodded in agreement.

Indeed,

One is enough.

The sky was getting brighter.

The Rain Alley city, poisoned by the flames of war, was like an injured beast, quietly licking its wounds.

A few hours later, when the patrol squad passed by the Rain Alley residential area for the seventh time.

Lu Ran stopped at the messy entrance: "Can I go home?"

Sun Zhengfang joked with a smile: "At midnight, I was chasing you home, and you brat insisted on not leaving?"

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: "I just wanted to spend more time with Uncle Sun!

I didn't see you on the fifteenth of last month; I missed you."

Sun Zhengfang:?

This brat, why is he speaking so sarcastically?

Hmm... alright, it was indeed he who struck first.

Deng Yuxiang stepped forward: "Let's go, we'll see you to your door."

"No need, right?" Lu Ran said as he walked, "I'm so strong... uh."

Lu Ran covered the back of his head with one hand and looked at the woman.

Deng Yuxiang lowered her hand: "So strong, why didn't you dodge?"

Lu Ran hummed: "Maybe I trusted you too much."

Deng Yuxiang suddenly laughed and directly raised her foot.

Lu Ran immediately dodged, avoiding that long leg.

Deng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow: "This time, why did you dodge again?"

Lu Ran stepped over the broken, collapsed Wutong tree in front of him, walking through the messy complex, and said casually:

"Maybe I know you too well."

Deng Yuxiang:?

"Hahahaha!" Sun Zhengfang immediately burst into laughter.

Young man, your firepower is quite something, huh?

The few of them found joy in suffering,

Carrying a trace of luck for having successfully survived, they sent Lu Ran home.

After the repeated exhortations from his teammates, Lu Ran closed his door.

He didn't go to the bathroom, but went straight to the bedroom, standing before the small shrine:

"Fairy Sheep Lord, tonight, this disciple has gained a lot."

In the shrine, the head of the Fairy Sheep jade carving gradually turned black, and wisps of white mist emerged, enveloping Lu Ran's body.

In a low, hoarse voice, there was a faint appreciation:

"Good."

Lu Ran was silent for a moment and said: "Now, this disciple can skillfully use a series of evil arts.

This disciple wants to ask, when will I be able to summon demons?

Or to what realm must the evil sculpture be cultivated before I can control demons?"

The voice transmission descended again, the tone sinister: "You want a Savage Female Ba to fight for you in all directions?"

"Before the River Realm, when this disciple enters the demon cave, it is difficult to escape the monitoring of the accompanying instructors," Lu Ran answered truthfully. "It is difficult to bring a demon follower."

Afterward, he changed the subject: "However, letting the Savage Female Ba clean the room at home and add cat food for Little Li Hua is also good."

The Savage Female Ba could be said to have brute strength, and she was big too.

It would be a pity not to use her.

In Lu Ran's view, pulling the curtains at home and letting the Savage Female Ba mop the floor, sweep, and wipe the lampshades should be very efficient?

Fairy Sheep jade carving: "..."

Lu Ran: "Fairy Sheep Lord?"

Fairy Sheep jade carving: "In the depths of the demon cave, you can indeed do whatever you want.

But your future main battlefield is definitely not inside the demon cave."

Lu Ran was thoughtful: "Is it the legendary higher-level god-demon battlefield?"

The Fairy Sheep jade carving did not respond.

Only the smile on its face appeared increasingly eerie.
