Chapter 267: Burning Dog

"Did, did he kill it? Did the skinny dog die?"

"He killed it, he killed it! We won! We won!"

"Holy crap, he's crazy! A Jiang Jing believer, slaying a River Estuary Realm Demon Lord?!"

"It's Jiang Jing Third Stage, violently killing a River Estuary Realm peak, okay!"

"Burning Dog! Burning Dog! Burning Dog!"

"River Estuary Realm peak? Demon Lord? F***ing show me the health bar! You just watch if I go up on you or not~"

"Why is Lu Ran frozen, not moving at all? Is he injured? Don't be!"

The livestream chat was filled with joy, while Lu Ran stood quietly on the side of the street, head bowed, looking at the Silent Zhan Ye Dao.

The Silent Zhan Ye Dao was made of obsidian material.

It was pitch black all over, with mysterious deep purple patterns on it.

Only under the illumination of sunlight would Lu Ran see the deep purple light emanating from the blade.

And at this moment, in this rainstorm night, the Silent Zhan Ye Dao was beautiful on its own, the mysterious patterns lighting up quietly, flowing with brilliance!

"As expected, you were waiting for a turning point."

Lu Ran suppressed the joy in his heart, holding the blade before his eyes, examining it carefully.

Slaying a River Estuary Realm Demon Lord was a heavy, colorful stroke on this road of climbing upward!

"Hum!!"

The Silent Zhan Ye Dao vibrated violently, water droplets splashing everywhere, as if responding to its master.

At this moment, everyone realized something was wrong!

Ge Bin was quite pleasantly surprised, coming behind Lu Ran: "Lu..."

He had just opened his mouth when he suddenly raised his head.

This thunderstorm was already thrilling enough.

Yet, layers of rain mist emerged, permeating the night sky.

A strange phenomenon from the heavens?

This was clearly the precursor to a Divine Weapon's advancement!

Lu Ran seemed completely unaware, immersed in his own world.

He examined the blade body over and over, his palm gripping the hilt tightly, his emotions surging wildly.

A blade is an extension of the wielder's thoughts.

It is the concrete manifestation of the wielder's mental will!

With Silent Night climbing so hard, how could Lu Ran hold it back?

In a very short time, he had already entered the realm of "Blade and Heart as One," leading Silent Night to stride forward.

"Silent Night, Silent Night..."

"Silent Night, it is the name I gave you, and it is the path you and I walk together."

"Every night of the fifteenth, wherever you and I pass, the demons of the world lose their heads, and everything returns to silence."

"Hum!!" The violently vibrating blade was the best response to Lu Ran.

"You cannot advance a Divine Weapon in the city center." Ge Bin, seeing the mist in the night sky growing thicker, had to speak up to remind him.

Lu Ran came back to his senses, turning his head to look at Captain Ge.

Just then, Liu Yunlan walked over, and Lu Ran finally saw her true appearance.

She had a slender figure, wearing a black raincoat, and under the hood was a beautiful face.

Her expression was solemn, carrying an aura of majesty:

"I will accompany you to the outskirts to assist you in advancing your Divine Weapon."

As she spoke, a Biwu branch emerged from her wide sleeve and wrapped around Lu Ran's waist.

Liu Yunlan looked at Ge Bin and said, "You continue to guard this place and explain the situation to the command center."

"Yes!" Ge Bin nodded immediately.

It seemed Liu Yunlan's rank was higher than Ge Bin's?

"Let's go." Liu Yunlan tugged at the branch tied around Lu Ran's waist.

This "Let's go" sounded exactly like "Giddyup"...

"Thank you, Senior Liu!" Lu Ran didn't refuse this kindness.

He had experienced Divine Weapon advancement before and naturally knew that celestial phenomena would attract a large number of demons.

Thinking back to the last time, when the Rosy Cloud Blade advanced, it was thanks to the Great Nightmare's help that Lu Ran was provided with a relatively stable environment.

Otherwise, the Rosy Cloud Blade might not have succeeded.

"Whoosh~"

Lu Ran didn't dare to delay, holding the Silent Zhan Ye Dao in one hand and the Cool Night Sword in the other, flying straight into the night sky.

At the same time, Yu Xiang River West.

On a street with dim yellow streetlights, a young girl with a golden talisman ring wrapped around her waist suddenly stopped her steps.

"Little Jiang?" Sun Zhengfang asked immediately.

The girl raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

Through the Cool Night Sword, she already knew everything.

"What's wrong?" Sun Zhengfang stepped forward quickly, only then seeing Jiang Ruyi's overjoyed appearance.

Sun Zhengfang's heart stirred, and he probed, "Lu Ran's side?"

Without needing Jiang Ruyi to respond, all the Moon-Watchers in Yu Xiang City received a notification from the command center:

"A message is now being announced: The Demon Lord has been slain!

I repeat, the descended Demon Lord has been slain by our soldiers!

All units hold your positions and continue to execute your missions. Midnight is approaching, do not let your guard down."

"Good! Good!!"

"Mm! Mm! Mm!"

"Well killed!!" For a time, shouts echoed through the streets and alleys of Yu Xiang City.

Compared to the civilians in the city, the number of Moon-Watchers was relatively small.

Although there were few people, the sound they emitted was not small!

If one were not in their shoes, perhaps no one could understand how suppressed and tormented the Moon-Watchers were.

Demon Lord descended! Jiang Jing Vicious Dog!

And it was a Vicious Dog that possessed teleportation techniques!

Every second it existed in the world was an incredibly huge threat.

Once a human powerhouse was defeated, or if the Vicious Dog ran away, no matter where it invaded, the Moon-Watchers guarding that jurisdiction would have to step up.

Filling the gap with their lives!

Including the entire Yu Xiang City, everything the Moon-Watchers protected—families, relatives, friends—could be easily destroyed.

Now, the Demon Lord had lost its head?!

"Hahahaha!" Sun Zhengfang slapped his forehead, his hearty laughter completely out of place on this night of the fifteenth.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating Sun Zhengfang's ecstatic face:

"I told you! This kid can not only kill through the Ghost Night Walk, but can also clash with a descended Demon Lord! Hahaha!"

One couldn't tell who it was just now who slapped himself and cursed himself for being a crow's mouth...

"Heh." Even the usually serious Wei Long revealed a smile.

The scene of him first meeting Lu Ran last year on July 15th was still vivid in his mind.

At that time, Lu Ran relied on a single hand of Immortal Hooves, flashing and shifting in the bloody purgatory, stunning everyone.

At that time, Wei Long secretly thought that this special Immortal Sheep believer might walk a different path.

Indeed, it was too different.

In less than a year, Lu Ran had already grown to such a height, even qualified to fight side-by-side with human powerhouses and slay an entered-world Demon Lord.

The atmosphere of joy was transmitted to thousands of households through the cameras.

Although Lu Ran had left the team, the cameras of the three-person team hadn't been turned off.

The various expressions of Sun Zhengfang and the others also made people feel deeply moved:

"Is it this infectious? Laughing in the middle of a storm... Good work, deserves a reward! Have a cigarette!"

"Burning God has a good captain..."

"Burning Dog also has a good girlfriend! Little Sister Jiang was so worried just now, tsk tsk, a beauty of the world, pitiful to behold~"

"Wait, doesn't Lu Ran already have one Divine Weapon? Is he getting another one?"

"It's all fog on Lu Mei's side, can't see anything."

"The person is advancing a Divine Weapon, what are you looking at? Can you even understand it?"

"I previously thought Burning Dog was just shaking his wrist to tease us, but it turns out he was for real..."

On the screen, Sun Zhengfang's voice suddenly came out:

"Little Jiang, Lu isn't injured, right? When is he coming back?"

"Not injured." Jiang Ruyi shook her head gently.

Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ruyi continued: "However, he has to wait a long time before he can come back. Let's continue with our mission."

"What do you mean?" Sun Zhengfang's smile stiffened, and he asked hurriedly.

Jiang Ruyi revealed a faint smile, a trace of pride in her eyes:

"Lu Ran's Silent Zhan Ye Dao is currently advancing to a Divine Weapon."

Sun Zhengfang: "Ah??"

Wei Long's heart also skipped a beat; he truly hadn't expected the young girl to respond like that.

Jiang Ruyi nodded gently, confirming: "A senior accompanied him to the city outskirts."

"Good lad." Sun Zhengfang muttered, "Is this... killed the Demon Lord and got addicted?

Killed the Silent Zhan Ye Dao into a Divine Weapon?"

"Mm." Jiang Ruyi tried hard to hide the trace of joy in her heart, "Cool Night said, it was indeed Lu Ran holding the Silent Zhan Ye Dao who personally cut off the Demon Lord's head."

Sun Zhengfang: "..."

Wei Long: "..."

The power of this sentence was even greater than the shock they felt when they first received the news that the "Demon Lord has lost its head"!

Sun Zhengfang knew very well that there were two human powerhouses guarding the Wu Lie Building.

He naturally had anticipated that Lu Ran would go and assist the two powerhouses, using special Divine Techniques to hold down the Jiang Jing Vicious Dog.

As a result, Jiang Ruyi said...

That entered-world Demon Lord was personally slain by Lu Ran?

Are you f***ing kidding me?!

Sun Zhengfang opened his mouth slightly, foolishly looking up, gazing at the distant sky, as if searching for celestial phenomena.

Sun Zhengfang didn't know that his expression at this moment was being frantically screenshotted by the audience.

In the future, it would likely spread like wildfire on the internet.

Are you kidding me?. jpg

The reason people were paying special attention to the trio's side was precisely because Lu Ran's shot was shrouded in thick fog, and nothing could be seen.

However, people could hear the voice: "Focus on the advancement, leave the rest to me."

"Yes! Thank you, Senior Liu!"

Lu Ran thanked her again and arrived once more at the eastern outskirts of Yu Xiang City, near the mountain forest.

His Rosy Cloud Blade had advanced right here.

This glorious tradition naturally had to be continued!

Lu Ran gripped the Silent Zhan Ye Dao tightly and raised it high.

The mist surging from between heaven and earth actually rotated on its own, turning into streaks of mist tornadoes.

And because of the pouring rain, the mist tornadoes turned into water tornadoes, shrouding the person and the blade.

Not far behind Lu Ran, a massive parasol tree rose from the ground, its lush branches lashing out wildly at the surroundings, also wrapping Lu Ran within.

With the protection of the branches, there was no rain falling on Lu Ran, only thick mist!

"I... I..."

Lu Ran couldn't help but say with a trembling voice.

In the previous battle, he hadn't consumed little divine power.

But at this moment, in just an instant, Lu Ran felt his whole body filled with violent energy.

"Hum!!"

The Silent Zhan Ye Dao's vibration amplitude grew larger and larger; Lu Ran almost couldn't hold onto it.

Lu Ran tried his best to collect his mind, focusing on guiding the weapon in his hand.

Come, Silent Night.

It is time!

It is time to gather the weapon spirit and open your eyes.

You also feel that this night of the fifteenth in the human world is noisy.

Right?
