Chapter 234: Slay the River!

The Xie Fa·Eight-Palace Ghost Sedan is a comprehensive technique.

That massive red sedan possesses extremely strong defensive power; when the Lady Lady Yanzhi Person is inside, she is shielded from all external disturbances.

As for the wedding procession, namely those eight ghost bearers, they function as summoned entities.

Just like in the Ling Qian sect's Yi Pai Shen Fa, where the drawn lots manifest into Copper Armored Guards and Iron Armored Guards.

They are utterly loyal, possess extraordinary martial arts, and furthermore wield devastating destructive power.

The difference lies in the fact that Ling Qian believers can only draw one guard at a time, whereas the Lady Lady Yanzhi Person needs not rely on luck to draw lots; she can directly summon eight ghost bearers.

This is merely the Jiang Pin Xie Fa·Eight-Palace Ghost Sedan.

Once this method advances another rank, the Lady Lady Yanzhi Person will be able to directly summon an entire wedding procession!

Those clearing the path, those setting off firecrackers, those beating gongs and drums to follow the sedan.

All told, there are seventy or eighty evil spirits in total.

Every single one is a ghost among ghosts, a fiend among fiends!

Barring the unexpected, Lu Ran will eventually master this method.

At that time, the situation of him "fighting alone" will no longer exist for him.

For instance, if Lu Ran wishes to charge deep into a demonic lair, he can fully employ Shi Zhan Ci Fa, then sit securely inside the sedan.

His wedding procession will naturally charge into battle for its master, slaughtering in all directions, and carry their master straight to the nest of the evil spirits!

A wedding procession?

No, this is a funeral procession sent for all living beings.

Wherever the ghost sedan passes, seas of blood and mountains of corpses are certain to follow!

"Hiss—"

"Roar!!" The eight ghost bearers gazed at the night sky, shouting angrily.

Chen Chen Jingjing, though only twenty-five years of age, possesses the bearing of a great general.

Her expression was ice-cold, fearless and awe-inspiring; this composure naturally stemmed from her own strength!

Seeing Chen Chen Jingjing raise one hand, a rain of swords came attacking.

Directly above the enormous ghost sedan, countless golden long swords poured down, dense as falling rain.

Liangye Jian Yi Shen Fa·Ten Thousand Swords Form!

In an instant, a series of crisp sounds rang out incessantly.

Although the ghost sedan appeared to be made of wood and cloth, it possessed unbelievably astonishing defensive power!

Every golden long sword that struck the sedan was bounced away.

"Damn," Lu Ran clicked his tongue inwardly, witnessing a scene that surprised him.

The ghost bearers were indeed loyal!

To protect their master, one ghost bearer actually lay prone on the sedan roof, using his body to block the golden sword rain.

The problem was, the ghost bearer did not need to do this; those golden swords could not harm the great red sedan in the least.

"Hiss—"

Suddenly, Lu Ran faintly heard a woman's low chanting sound.

Facts proved that it was not his auditory hallucination, but rather the command voice of the Lady Lady Yanzhi Person.

The ghost bearers surrounding the great red sedan immediately scattered, dodging the output range of the golden sword rain.

Only one ghost bearer remained prone directly atop the great red sedan; his magnificent body, standing four meters tall, was already riddled with hundreds of wounds.

"Pfft!"

The ghost bearer shattered explosively, turning into wisps of black mist that diffused outward.

Lu Ran could not help but nod inwardly.

He was observing the battle while also striving to absorb combat experience.

He discerned that the ghost bearers were extremely protective of their master, willing to sacrifice their lives to shield him.

Secondly, the ghost bearers possessed no defensive techniques; that huge and majestic body suffered a hole with every poke.

Chen Chen Jingjing ought to know the defensive power of the great red sedan, yet she still employed Shen Fa·Ten Thousand Swords Form; surely, she was targeting the ghost bearers!

Her plan had indeed succeeded.

Now, one ghost bearer was dead, and several others were injured.

"Roar!"

"Roar!!" The bearers roared furiously, charging toward Chen Chen Jingjing's direction.

They charged recklessly, paying no heed to the buildings along the way, easily crushing earthen walls and smashing through earthen houses.

"Jiang Ruyi," Lu Ran whispered.

"Mm?" Jiangjiang Ruyi stood behind Lu Ran, one hand resting on his shoulder.

They saw the Xia Guang Dao carried on Lu Ran's back quietly slide out of its scabbard.

Jiangjiang Ruyi immediately understood Lu Ran's intent; with a thought, the Liang Ye Sword at her waist quietly slid out of its scabbard.

With a dull "Thump!"

The earth seemed to tremble.

Like a colossal beast, a ghost bearer smashed through another earthen house, then stomped the ground to launch himself high into the air, charging straight at Chen Chen Jingjing in the night sky.

"Hmph."

Chen Chen Jingjing let out a cold snort; at her outstretched palm, energy surged, and a series of flying swords thrust forth.

One sword, two swords... sixteen swords!

Liangye Jian Yi Shen Fa·Flying Sword Form!

Chen Chen Jingjing gripped one of the swords, while the remaining fifteen long blades linked together into a string, resembling a straight, plunging dragon.

The terrifying sound of breaking the air made everyone's hair stand on end.

"Slap! Slap!"

The Ghost Sedan Bearers waved their huge hands repeatedly, forcibly swatting away all the flying swords.

The sight left the onlookers dumbfounded.

Chen Chen Jingjing stepped onto a flying sword and swiftly flew toward the upper left.

"Roar!" The Ghost Sedan Bearer bared its fangs and brandished its claws, attempting to grab the human woman, wishing desperately to crush and tear her apart.

Alas, the Ghost Sedan Bearer possessed no ability to fly; it could only rush past Chen Chen Jingjing's side, slashing diagonally into the night sky.

Chen Chen Jingjing lightly tapped her fingertip, and those long swords swatted away by the Ghost Sedan Bearer traced elegant arcs through the night sky, stabbing at the target from all directions.

"Aaaah!" The Ghost Sedan Bearer turned around and, facing the flying swords attacking from eight directions, unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks.

What the hell...

Is she strong to this extent?

Lu Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

No wonder that whenever a River Estuary Realm evil spirit descends upon a city, it is classified as a Special Event: Demon Lord Descent.

To put it bluntly, with such a powerful summon, the Yan Zhi Ren Woman wouldn't even need to act herself; this single wedding procession could slaughter an entire city, couldn't it?

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

Chen Chen Jingjing held a long sword and directly flicked out a sword flower, her movement exceptionally sharp and fierce.

As she executed a set of double sword flowers, one inward and one outward, two streams of sword qi shot straight at the Ghost Sedan Bearer in the night sky.

Sword One Divine Art: Frost Sword Qi!

On the Ghost Sedan Bearer's blurred face, red light radiated fiercely from its eyes.

It waved its huge hands, attempting to repeat its previous trick, but...

Swat away sword qi?

You really dare to imagine such a thing!

With a "whoosh," the Ghost Sedan Bearer's hand was instantly sliced in half by the sharp sword qi!

A cloud of black mist spread out, and the Ghost Sedan Bearer's cry of pain echoed through the night sky.

That momentary lapse of concentration completely sealed the Ghost Sedan Bearer's fate.

Facing a sword cultivator who has killed countless beings, you cannot afford the slightest relaxation; the consequences are extremely dire.

The Ghost Sedan Bearer's cry of pain cut off abruptly, as several flying swords attacked from various locations, instantly piercing through its giant body.

Each flying sword dragged out strands of black mist, crisscrossing through the night sky.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

A series of dull thuds suddenly rang out.

Several Ghost Sedan Bearers rushed over at high speed, leaped high into the air, and pounced on the human woman in the night sky.

Chen Chen Jingjing's heart settled; the plan had succeeded!

She simply waved her hand, and fully fifteen illusory sword shadows rained down in all directions.

The sword shadows moved with incredible speed, landing on the village road, on the roofs of earthen houses, and within the large courtyard...

The instant the fifteen sword shadows touched the ground, they transformed into fifteen human figures, all of them Chen Chen Jingjing!

Wait, fifteen?

Everyone knows that the Jiang Pin Shen Fa: Sword Dance Clear Shadow can summon a full sixteen human figures.

Yet Chen Chen Jingjing only sent out fifteen figures, which means...

Chen Chen Jingjing has a trump card!

She had already activated one figure earlier, hiding it somewhere unknown.

And that figure was likely guarding against the Yan Zhi Ren Woman!

When the Divine Art: Sword Dance Clear Shadow reaches the Jiang Pin level, the Sword One disciple's true body can move freely among the shadow figures!

Why does the Deity Sword One rank first among the Great Xia deities?

The effects of her Divine Art are absurdly powerful!

Even that powerful Night Phantom can at most split into three.

Now look at the believers of Sword One!

She can form an entire army by herself; with a mere wave of her hand, she can fill the battlefield with her own figures...

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

The figures scattered everywhere attacked simultaneously, flinging countless streams of sword qi into the night sky!

The Ghost Sedan Bearers, lacking any ability to fly, had effectively become lambs awaiting slaughter.

Just then, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred!

Chen Chen Jingjing, standing in the night sky, suddenly trembled, unable to move.

From the location of the massive ghost sedan, a pale, slender hand quietly lifted the curtain.

In the Yan Zhi Ren Woman's hand, she was also holding a small paper effigy.

This group of useless sedan bearers has caused the Mistress to lose her patience.

The River Estuary Realm Yan Zhi Ren Woman has finally made her move!

And the moment she acts, it is to kill!

The Yan Zhi Ren Woman did not crush the paper effigy; instead, she placed her thumb on the small effigy's face and pressed downward.

"Hum~"

In the night sky, Chen Chen Jingjing's flesh-and-blood body abruptly transformed into a phantom.

The true body of this Liangye Jian Yi believer appeared on the roof of the adobe house, replacing one of the phantoms.

At the same time, the face of the Chen Chen Jingjing phantom in the night sky was crushed inward.

A head was slowly pinched flat by the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll.

The scene was terrifying beyond measure!

If the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's target had not been Chen Chen Jingjing, but rather Lu Ran and the others,

the consequences would simply have been unthinkable!

"Hiss!!"

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll suddenly let out a miserable scream, a sound exceedingly shrill and mournful.

This single cry left Chen Chen Jingjing completely stunned!

What was happening?

The answer was... the Lu-Jiang pair had made their move!

The two had long used their mental will to control their blade and sword, secretly slipping down the great tree, skimming along the ground and sweeping past the earthen walls, circling halfway around the desolate village.

The chaotic battlefield in the night sky provided perfect cover for the one blade and one sword.

Lu Ran understood that the seemingly soft red cloth on the ghost sedan was actually astonishingly defensive, and certainly not something others could lift open.

He could only wait, waiting for the bride inside the sedan to lift the curtain herself.

Thus, a pair of divine weapons lay in ambush on the road to the left of the ghost sedan, pressed tight against an earthen wall, biding their time.

And the moment the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll lifted the sedan curtain, Lu Ran's eyes narrowed, and the Xia Guang Dao suddenly shot forth!

Sensing her companion's action, the Liang Ye Sword followed closely behind.

"Zhi!"

The blade edge pierced flesh!

The Xia Guang Dao directly impaled the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's hand and stabbed toward her head.

"Ah!!" The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll screamed miserably as she withdrew her palm.

And in the instant before the soft sedan curtain fell back down, the Liang Ye Sword also drilled inside.

Lu Ran clenched his fists, gazing at the great red sedan, and spat out a single word: "Kill!"

His vision was indeed excellent, but since he could not see through the ghost sedan, he could only rely on his ears to listen.

For a moment,

the bride's screams rang out continuously, while the great red sedan swayed left and right, trembling repeatedly.

Lu Ran, who had previously been filled with killing intent, now wore a strange expression.

This...?

Why did it feel like something was wrong?

"Whoosh!!"

In the night sky, a surge of energy suddenly churned, and the temperature between heaven and earth plummeted.

Lu Ran abruptly raised his head, only to see a massive sword shadow appear, scattering endless frost across the world.

He stood with his mouth slightly open, his gaze shifting downward to see Chen Chen Jingjing standing atop an adobe house, one hand raised high as if inviting the heavens.

Liangye Jian Yi Divine Art · Frost Chills the Nine Provinces!

"Whoosh!!"

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's face twisted in distortion as she flew backward out of the great red sedan.

And in the night sky, that astonishingly large sword shadow had already slashed down.

Slashing the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll?

Not only that!

Even the great red sedan, along with the not-so-wide dirt road of the desolate village, all fell within the slashing range of the sword body.

"Hiss!!"

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll suddenly raised her head, her eyes bulging wide, as she flung upward the palm that had been pierced with a bloody hole.

The great red ceremonial cape was hoisted high, sending towering waves of red surging into the sky.

The magnificent sword shadow slashed down heavily once more, Frost Chills the Nine Provinces!

"Oh my god!" Si Si Xianxian clung to the lush branches, watching foolishly.

She had even already envisioned what an earth-shattering spectacle it would be the moment the sword touched the wedding dress.

However, a certain someone stole the show...

"Go!!" Lu Ran gripped empty air and yanked fiercely backward.

Inside the great red sedan, brilliant rosy light blazed!

The red sedan curtain, lifted high by the bride flying backward, revealed the Xia Guang Dao carrying the Liang Ye Sword as they thrust out rapidly, stabbing straight at the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll.

"Zhi! Zhi!"

Before the frost giant sword and the red wedding dress could even touch, the pair of divine weapons slipped beneath the high lifted hem of the garment and pierced into the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's body!

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's pupils contracted violently!

"Whoosh~"

A figure flew backward out from within the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's body.

Xie Fa · Paper Substitute!

The surging red waves quietly dissipated as Frost Chills the Nine Provinces swiftly descended.

"Boom-boom-boom!!"

The earth trembled, and shockwaves churned.

Houses on both sides of the street shattered with a boom.

The figure the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll had just substituted out was forcibly slashed to pieces.

Lu Ran opened his Death Realm pupils, seeing the village rapidly encased in ice, and also seeing the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's lingering soul remaining in place.

Instantly, Lu Ran's heart settled completely!

"Hiss! Hiss!!"

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's face twisted, her shrieks stabbing Lu Ran's eardrums painfully.

She seemed not yet to have realized that she was already dead.

Or perhaps, the Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll was unwilling to accept such an ending.

She brandished her claws and teeth, still attempting to wave her great red ceremonial robe.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, she turned around, only then realizing a suction force was dragging her toward the center of the desolate village.

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's lingering soul stared fixedly at that crooked-neck tree from a moment ago.

Then, she saw a human youth push aside the lush branches, revealing his true appearance.

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's expression froze in shock!

She, who had been struggling frantically just before, calmed down just like that.

Closer, even closer.

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's eyes glowed, revealing endless longing; she stretched out both hands, as if trying to tightly embrace Lu Ran.

However, those illusory palms kept contracting, continuously merging into Lu Ran's pupils.

"Hiss! Hiss!!"

The Lady Lady Yanzhi Doll's lingering soul immediately panicked, shrieking in frantic rage, before finally vanishing without a trace.

Feeling the lingering soul enter the Divine-Demon Sculpture Garden, Lu Ran couldn't help but press his lips together.

A Jiang Jing lingering soul is absolutely great nourishment!

"Whoosh~"

At the dirt road of the desolate village, the magnificent sword shadow vanished without a trace, leaving only frost filling heaven and earth.

As frost and snow rushed toward his face, Lu Ran subconsciously closed his eyes, shielding his face with one hand.

Yet a figure arrived riding a sword, blocking in front of Lu Ran.

Chen Chen Jingjing swept her gaze over the several people in the tree, finally looking at Lu Ran as she asked, "Are you alright?"

Lu Ran sincerely praised, "Sister Chen Jingjing is so amazing!"

Chen Chen Jingjing gently shook her head: "I do not reach even one ten-thousandth of your mother."

Lu Ran: "."

Four thousand words, requesting some monthly votes.

Thanks to Fei Zhi Men, the Great Meng, for the 100,000 reward! Boss, you're generous; thanks for the support!

Wishing the boss daily joy, nightly revelry, monthly sudden wealth, and yearly great fortune!
