Chapter 242: First Meeting

The bleating of a sheep pierced through the curtain of rain, and the noble, cold, and glamorous Jade-Faced Snake finally changed her expression!

Her indifferent look vanished without a trace, replaced by a face of incomparable malice.

"Hiss!!"

Inside the four-story stairwell, the Jade-Faced Snake crawled rapidly toward the window, holding a jade ruyi, placing it before her face.

Jiang Ruyi saw it clearly and immediately warned: "Lu Ran!"

"Hoo~"

From the Jade-Faced Snake's red lips, a breath of immortal Qi had already been exhaled.

When this breath swept past the jade ruyi in front, its power increased instantly, turning into a gale in the blink of an eye!

The gale howled, blowing toward Lu Ran's direction; within the wind and waves, thin white mist was mixed in.

In an instant, everything touched by the great wind suffered!

"Crack!"

"Crack."

The high iron fence of the residential complex was eroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Trees swayed violently in the wind, their lush branches constantly dissolved until they completely vanished.

Jade-Faced Snake Evil Technique: Immortal Breath!

A muffled "thud" sounded.

With the help of the Dawn Blade, Lu Ran turned his direction in mid-air early and landed heavily on the ground.

He looked up, unable to help but feel horrified in his heart.

As expected of the extremely rare Jade-Faced Snake clan, they truly have some substance!

The area covered by the wind and waves was very wide; wherever it passed, there was a sense of all things withering and not a blade of grass growing.

The only thing worth rejoicing about was that this special wind was tangible and visible to the naked eye.

It was not the wind that eroded all things, but the thin white mist mixed within the wind.

In other words, it was that mouthful of immortal Qi exhaled from the Jade-Faced Snake's red lips.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the jade ruyi in the Jade-Faced Snake's hand greatly amplified this evil technique.

"Baa!!"

The sheep's bleat rose again, causing the desire for harm in the demon's heart to climb step by step.

With a gloomy face, the Jade-Faced Snake immediately darted out of the window, stabbing straight toward the asphalt road outside the complex.

"Good fellow."

Lu Ran slid backward on the asphalt road, watching the Jade-Faced Snake flying out.

Her upper human body had normal proportions, resembling an ordinary human woman.

But her lower snake body was likely 7 or 8 meters long!

That wasn't the main point; Lu Ran watched with his own eyes as eight more snake tails sprouted from her waist!

Those eight snake tails were clearly illusions, but they looked exceptionally realistic, each covered in scales as lustrous as white jade.

Jade-Faced Snake Evil Technique: Immortal Tails!

"Bang!"

The Jade-Faced Snake landed heavily, and the asphalt road shattered.

Seeing this scene, Sun Zhengfang's expression remained grim, but he breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

The evil technique of the Jade-Faced Snake clan was too threatening.

The battle must not begin in the hallway; otherwise, who knows how many people would suffer.

Now that she had finally been lured out, it was time to launch a counterattack.

"Da Long!" Sun Zhengfang ordered.

"Yes!" Wei Long immediately flew out, waving his hands repeatedly.

But a moment before Wei Long cast his spell, a Cool Night Sword had already thrust out, and two white jade plaques were wedged at the junction of its hilt and blade.

Jade Talisman Divine Technique: Explosive Flame Talisman!

Jade Talisman Divine Technique: Electric Binding Talisman!

Jiang Ruyi had made her move!

She predicted the Jade-Faced Snake's landing point and, with the help of the divine weapon, unleashed a combination technique.

But what no one expected was that the Jade-Faced Snake activated her Immortal Tails while flying toward the asphalt road.

She seemed determined to ravage that annoying little lamb with her full strength.

This sudden situation also disrupted Jiang Ruyi's plan.

The several wildly lashing Immortal Tails not only whipped against the blade but also detonated the two white jade stone tablets prematurely.

"Rumble!"

Firelight exploded, air waves surged, flipping the Jade-Faced Snake forward.

"Zzz~ Zzz!"

Electric light flickered, current darted wildly, crawling rapidly along the snake tails toward the Jade-Faced Snake's upper body.

"Hiss," the Jade-Faced Snake let out a hiss.

A cloud of white mist permeated, surging in all directions.

Everyone:!!!

"She even equipped this kind of technique?"

"It's over, Lu Ran's divine technique won't have any effect on her anymore."

Jade-Faced Snake Evil Technique: Immortal Realm!

The permeating white mist could purify abnormal states on targets within a certain range.

"Hiss!"

The Jade-Faced Snake turned her head abruptly, no longer looking at Lu Ran.

The permeating white mist helped her completely break free from the influence on the mental level.

The Jade-Faced Snake no longer focused solely on hunting down Lu Ran, but set her sights on Jiang Ruyi, who was causing trouble in the rear.

The human girl's sneak attack clearly infuriated the Jade-Faced Snake.

The next scene was even more jaw-dropping!

The Jade-Faced Snake rushed toward Jiang Ruyi, passing through the area filled with electric current alone.

One must know, that was a lightning ball diffused from the Electric Binding Talisman, dense with current, enough to paralyze the body of any living creature.

Yet the Jade-Faced Snake's movements didn't slow down in the slightest!

She treated the dense current as nothing, charging through it, killing her way out, and raised the jade ruyi with one hand.

Within the Evil Technique: Immortal Realm, not only was the Jade-Faced Snake no longer affected on the mental level, but abnormal states on her physical level would also be purified clean!

"Clatter clatter!"

"Clatter." Suddenly, chains appeared out of thin air, binding toward the Jade-Faced Snake.

"Hiss!" The Jade-Faced Snake let out a sudden scream, the sound very shrill.

Her attention was on Jiang Ruyi; facing the blood chains that suddenly appeared before her face, she subconsciously reached out to block.

And with this block, her arm was tightly bound by the blood chains.

That wasn't all!

Wei Long's eyes narrowed, and he decisively cast his spell.

Demon Prisoner Divine Technique: Blood Chain Stab!

In an instant, sharp spikes suddenly sprouted from the blood chains binding the Jade-Faced Snake's arm, poking one blood hole after another into her arm.

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

The Jade-Faced Snake gritted her silver teeth, and the eight Immortal Tails immediately began to lash out, extremely fierce.

Centered on the Jade-Faced Snake, everything within a radius of several meters suffered.

Those blood chains that had appeared were whipped into pieces by the snake tails.

The asphalt road surface constantly shattered, leaving behind deep whip marks.

Trees by the roadside snapped, and even the wind and rain were swept away layer after layer...

It was like she had opened a small domain!

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a Tang Dao pierced through layers of wind and rain, tearing out a brilliant streak of dawn light, and came with great momentum.

The Jade-Faced Snake had a malicious expression, clearly hearing the harsh sound of breaking air behind her.

Her eight Immortal Tails were still causing trouble, whipping everything around.

And her main snake body coiled around her own torso in circles.

The next moment, that snake body, as crystal clear and lustrous as white jade, began to glow with spots of light.

"Clang!"

The Rosy Xia Guang Dao, carrying huge momentum, forcibly pierced through two Immortal Tails, continuing to stab straight at the Jade-Faced Snake's face.

Everyone stared at this scene, a glimmer of hope rising in their hearts.

"Ding!"

A sound that should have been crisp, to everyone, felt like a muffled hammer, smashing heavily into their hearts.

Could even a divine weapon not pierce into the snake body?

A dignified divine weapon, how sharp was it? And it came with momentum!

Even if it had been interfered with by two Immortal Tails earlier, and its force and speed had slowed, but this...

Jade-Faced Snake Evil Technique: Immortal Scales!

This technique could make the snake scales on the snake body incomparably hard in a very short time.

It must be stated that when Evil Technique: Immortal Scales is in effect, the Jade-Faced Snake cannot move.

Including the eight Immortal Tails swaying in the sky, they all froze.

"Pop!!"

The Jade-Faced Snake "came alive" again.

The Rosy Xia Guang Dao was whipped away by an Immortal Tail, spinning rapidly, disappearing into the vast night rain.

"Hiss," a hoarse snake hiss sounded.

The snake body wrapped around the Jade-Faced Snake constantly squirmed, slowly moving downward.

In the permeating immortal mist, the Jade-Faced Snake revealed the upper half of her face.

Her pair of cold, gloomy pupils stared fixedly at Lu Ran, making one's hair stand on end.

That beautiful snake body coiled in circles constantly moved downward, revealing the jade ruyi she held before her lips.

"Hoo~"

A breath of immortal Qi was exhaled from her charming red lips.

Lu Ran didn't say a word; mist surged under his feet, and he darted to the side abruptly.

The gale rose suddenly, and the Jade-Faced Snake cleared the area in front of her!

Trees, flowers, grass, asphalt road...

Wherever the wind and waves passed, all things constantly dissolved, being wantonly eroded.

Lu Ran pursed his lips, and while dodging rapidly, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected of the nemesis of the First-Class God: Martial Monk!

Having said that, Lu Ran was clad in water-flow armor, which could resist the erosion of Evil Technique: Immortal Breath for a certain period, but there was no need for him to make meaningless consumption.

It was just that, for a split second, Lu Ran really wanted to unleash the Lady Lady Yanzhi Evil Technique: Lady Lady Yanzhi Sleeves!

That way, he could stand firmly, or kill his way in without injury.

Those immortal Qi exhaled by the Jade-Faced Snake would naturally be sucked into his sleeves.

Lu Ran also really wanted to pull off a Night Charm Evil Technique: Night Wind Attack, to send the Jade-Faced Snake flying, and take the opportunity to deliver 16 Night Charm Blades to her, cutting off all eight of her immortal tails!

You're standing in a stance with me, quite steady, aren't you?

If you really push me to the edge, I'll activate the Thread-Pulling Shadow Evil Sculpture and open the Thread-Pulling Evil Technique: Thread-Pulling Robe.

Let's see if your eight Immortal Tails are steadier, or if my thousands of red threads can stand firmer!

Thinking about it, Lu Ran couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

The presence of human comrades, as well as the cameras on every street and alley, limited the performance of a certain evil little lamb.

"Hoo!"

The Jade-Faced Snake's cold eyes swiveled; as Lu Ran dodged, she also turned her head slightly, adjusting her attack direction.

"Clatter."

Two blood chains suddenly appeared, one binding the Jade-Faced Snake's still-bleeding hand, and one binding her neck.

Several Immortal Tails immediately came to the rescue, their timing mastered exceptionally well, only shattering the chains without harming the Jade-Faced Snake herself.

The Jade-Faced Snake's upper body was no different from a human's flesh and blood, with no defensive power to speak of.

A crisp "pop" sounded from behind the Jade-Faced Snake.

The Jade-Faced Snake's expression changed; the ground beneath her suddenly turned into constantly surging yellow sand?

Jade Talisman Divine Technique: Quicksand Talisman!

In the night sky, Jiang Ruyi held the flying-back Cool Night Sword in one hand, while the other hand quickly drew a talisman, supplementing the Jade Talisman Array.

In her line of sight, sand whips darted out from within the surging quicksand, killing toward the Jade-Faced Snake.

Jiang Ruyi's output achieved miraculous results; the Jade-Faced Snake decisively gave up chasing Lu Ran, while defending against the quicksand's interference, she quickly changed her position.

"Pop!"

Lu Ran gripped the Dawn Blade that had flown back in his left hand and slowly drew the Silent Night Blade from his back with his right.

In his mind, he went through the effects and strengths of each of the Jade-Faced Snake's evil techniques, as well as her various performances and spell-casting tendencies all along.

Jade Face, first meeting.

The pleasantries end here.

"Hoo~"

Lu Ran spun the blades in his hands.

Let's go, let's go chop off her eight tails, one by one!

"Hum!"

The twin blades in his hands hummed and trembled.

Lu Ran stared fixedly at the Jade-Faced Snake, mist surged under his feet, and his figure suddenly shuttled out.

My turn!
