Chapter 279: Scumbag Ran

The Yan Zhi Ren in the night sky strikes first!

The bright red ceremonial robes fluttering in the wind, like red sea waves, pounce toward Lu Ran.

The Yan Zhi Ren in front of the building cannot help but frown slightly.

With an unpleasant expression, she glances at her companion in the night sky, then looks at Lu Ran dodging on the ground, her eyes filled with resentment.

She reaches out a pale palm, also stirring up a red tide that rolls toward Lu Ran.

"Screw you!"

Lu Ran curses in his heart, immortal mist surging beneath his feet.

Two red wedding dresses attack simultaneously, one above and one below, one in front and one behind, with astonishing momentum!

The poor little human survives in the cracks, darting toward the east side.

"Hiss!!"

The two Yan Zhi Ren shriek, both manipulating their robe tails to chase Lu Ran's figure.

"This?" Deng Yutang is bewildered.

Besides Lu Ran, the Jiang-Tian-Deng-Chang quartet is still on the vast plaza!

How vast is the plaza?

How conspicuous is the quartet?

Yet, the Yan Zhi Ren ignore them completely; even as the bright red wedding dresses sweep over their heads, they have no intention of attacking the four.

Everything is as Jiang Ru Yi expected: in the eyes of the Yan Zhi Ren, there is only Lu Ran!

The soldiers stationed everywhere are also dumbfounded.

Especially the Moon-Watching squad stationed on the north side of the plaza, at the entrance of the bank.

A Yan Zhi Ren floats between the two characters for "Industrial and Commercial," the distance between them very close.

The four humans and the demon all notice each other's existence, and their eyes even meet!

However, after scanning the battlefield, this Ink-Eating Demon completely ignores the few Moon-Watching people.

She flies straight toward the plaza; judging by the direction, she should be heading for Lu Ran?

"What's going on?" A female Moon-Watching person's expression is one of shock.

She had already prepared for a bitter battle, even prepared to sacrifice herself.

The power of the Yan Zhi Ren clan is beyond doubt!

With a flick of their paper dolls, they decide victory from a thousand miles away.

As long as the Yan Zhi clan is given a little time, they can crush and grind all living things to death.

Not to mention their overwhelming red wedding dresses, the "world in a sleeve" Yan Zhi sleeves, and the "stealing the dragon and replacing it with a phoenix" paper substitutes.

This kind of demon has extremely lethal single-target output, astonishing destructive power, maxed-out defensive attributes, and survival ability that is simply outrageous!

Even more terrifying is that the Yan Zhi clan possesses quite decent intelligence.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Moon-Watching people would rather face a Fiend-Heaven Demon than an Ink-Eating Demon.

"I don't know, maybe Lu Tianjiao lured the Ink-Eating Demon over?" a male Moon-Watching person guesses.

"Did Lu Tianjiao call out? Why didn't I hear it?"

"Another one is coming, above! Above!"

The Moon-Watching squad on this side sets up their formation and outputs first, while on the plaza, the four-person squad also uses every trick in the book.

Tian Tian has long activated the Sword Lotus Divine Technique: Lotus Flying Sword, releasing a string of flying swords to hunt down the Yan Zhi Ren.

Jiang Ru Yi is wrapped in golden jade stones, constantly throwing out white jade tablets.

The poor Deng Yutang, who cannot fly and has no long-range output techniques, can only stare blankly.

Fortunately, during the Yan Zhi clan's "Night of the Wandering Ghosts," other demons have descended.

Deng Yutang finds his own value, slaughtering the invading demons, providing as stable an output environment as possible for his teammates.

In fact, Deng Yutang is not the most pitiful one...

"Hurry, hurry!" Chang Ying is anxious to death.

At this moment, a rotten slip is flying in front of her eyes, and her skill is still in its cooldown period.

A 3-minute cooldown doesn't seem long, but on the fiercely fighting battlefield, Chang Ying feels every second is like a year!

"Hurry up!" Chang Ying swats away the rotten slip in front of her, looking at the desperately fleeing Lu Ran, she stomps her feet in anxiety.

But the next moment, Chang Ying slaps herself in the face!

"Slap!"

Chang Ying is truly ruthless to herself; her skin is a bit dark, but a clear slap mark is still visible.

This action is all because Chang Ying is annoyed in her heart, realizing her mistake.

In the realm of the Spirit Slip Divine Technique, "skill cooldown" is not something you just wait out.

If you don't contribute faith power, your Spirit Slip Divine Technique can be on cooldown for a lifetime!

"Please, please, Master Spirit Slip, I won't complain about you anymore, save me, Master Spirit Slip!"

Chang Ying desperately collects her thoughts, praying piously to the deity, and finally survives the last few seconds of the cooldown.

She immediately reaches out her large hand and grabs a slip container.

Five golden, good slips are bright and dazzling, with three tattered wooden slips mixed among them.

Spirit Slip Divine Technique: Eight Treasures Slip!

"Clatter~"

"Output, summoning, just give it to me!" Chang Ying shakes the slip container frantically.

Hearing a "whoosh," a tattered wooden slip darts out.

A repeat performance?

Chang Ying's eyes widen, her face turning livid!

She, who never uses foul language, spits out a word: "Grass!"

In the distance, Lu Ran is being chased by a full 4 Yan Zhi Ren!

The wedding dresses are like red waves, massive waves reaching the sky.

The tiny human is like a small boat swaying in the raging waves, seemingly about to be overturned at any moment.

"Yah!" Chang Ying stomps her feet in hatred, grabs her great axe, and joins Deng Yutang's squad.

She has no time for self-pity, only able to play her part as much as possible, guarding Jiang Ru Yi and Tian Tian, the two output powerhouses.

The Spirit Slip faction indeed has huge variables.

Whether you become a god or a ghost depends on a single slip.

After all, once Chang Ying draws an output slip...

It's no joke, that string of golden flying slips is far faster and more lethal than Tian Tian's Lotus Flying Sword!

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs" on the battlefield.

"Ran-bao, hold on, Ran-bao!"

Chang Ying murmurs in her heart, shakes her head in hatred, tries hard to calm down, and continues to pray to the Spirit Slip.

"Can't hold them!" Jiang Ru Yi's expression is ugly.

She is outputting with all her might, trying to keep the Yan Zhi Ren, but the other party ignores her completely.

Even Tian Tian's Lotus Flying Sword is either swatted away by the red wedding dresses or sucked into the Yan Zhi sleeves.

Facing such output, the attacked Yan Zhi Ren doesn't bother with Tian Tian either; in her eyes, there is only that special figure.

And at this moment, the panicked Lu Ran has already reached the southeast corner of the plaza.

"Ugh." Lu Ran is roaming in the red waves when he suddenly feels his body stiffen.

Lu Ran's pupils contract slightly.

Oh no!

Evil Technique: Paper Doll?

Lu Ran also possesses this technique and knows even better how terrifying the paper dolls are.

No matter which Yan Zhi Ren cast it, Lu Ran has been targeted at this moment, his life held in the hands of one of the Yan Zhi Ren!

"Sss—"

Mist churns beneath Lu Ran's feet; he can't care about much else and kills his way toward the nearest six-story commercial building.

Divine Technique: Immortal Horn!

A pair of sheep horns grows on Lu Ran's head, and he performs a fish-leap charge straight toward the building's main entrance.

"Clatter!!"

The sturdy rolling shutter door is smashed to pieces by Lu Ran!

The door behind it doesn't escape either, glass shattering all over the floor.

Lu Ran charges straight into the pitch-black first floor of the mall.

"Bang!"

"Rumble..."

Behind him comes the sound of the storefront shattering and the building collapsing.

The destructive power of the Yan Zhi clan is no joke.

As the red giant wave sweeps past, the entrance area of the commercial building is smashed to smithereens.

"Heh..."

Lu Ran pants heavily, his chest heaving violently.

That feeling of having his life pinched has finally disappeared.

The prerequisite for the Evil Technique: Paper Doll to take effect is that the target must be within the caster's field of vision.

"Sss—"

Immortal mist rises beneath Lu Ran's feet again, piercing toward a pillar.

Under the cover of the immortal mist, he pads his soles with a wave of wind, cleverly flashes, and hides behind the pillar.

At the same time, a group of Yan Zhi Ren lands in front of the commercial building.

Amidst the dust, four women of peerless beauty float in.

They look exactly the same, even their affectionate brows are identical.

And around the plaza, the Yan Zhi Ren who descended one after another finally return to normal.

They haven't seen Lu Ran and don't know that the person they are longing for is located in a commercial building in the southeast corner of the plaza.

These Yan Zhi Ren begin to tangle with the human guards, their beautiful eyes vicious, red clothes and paper dolls appearing frequently.

"Whew."

In the mall, behind the pillar, Lu Ran lets out a deep breath, adjusting his breathing.

Slowly, he closes his eyes.

The Yan Zhi clan relies on their eyes to observe the world.

The mall is pitch black, which is naturally Lu Ran's home field!

Sniff~

Lu Ran's nose twitches, feeling the ghost energy growing thicker.

"Jiye, it's our turn!"

Lu Ran grips the Jiye Blade tightly, communicating with it telepathically, passing thoughts through his mind.

The Jiye Blade is quiet, looking like an ordinary item.

Under Lu Ran's instruction, even the purple patterns on the blade dim.

"Sss!"

Lu Ran, hiding behind the pillar, suddenly swings his blade horizontally.

A Yan Zhi Ren floating forward, having just passed the pillar, is decapitated by a single strike.

Clean and crisp!

The Yan Zhi Ren's vision was already obstructed, and with everything happening so suddenly, she couldn't react in time.

The red wedding dress with astonishing defensive power failed to protect her neck.

The beautiful head, wearing an exquisite phoenix coronet, is thus separated from the torso.

The commotion here immediately attracts the attention of the other three Yan Zhi Ren.

"Whew!!"

"Clatter!" The tails of their red robes sweep over from various angles.

The display cabinets along the way are all shattered, the crisp sound ringing out endlessly.

Pieces of clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics, along with the red wedding dresses, all roll toward Lu Ran.

What is this?

A dowry?

"Sss—"

Lu Ran's figure shuttles, hurriedly fleeing the scene.

He immediately stops casting, after all, the sound of the immortal mist is quite loud.

Sniff~

Lu Ran wants to smell the ghost energy, but instead smells the pungent scent of perfume.

The smell on the first floor of the mall was already quite strong.

Now, with various cosmetics broken and perfume all over the floor, it is truly making Lu Ran extremely uncomfortable.

He decisively opens his eyes; in his sight, two Yan Zhi Ren are pouncing straight toward the position he was just in.

Another Yan Zhi Ren frowns slightly, as if thinking about something?

Lu Ran doesn't hesitate, tiptoeing, and quickly kills toward the isolated Yan Zhi Ren.

On the way, he casually picks up a lipstick from the display shelf and throws it into the distance.

"Plop~"

The two Yan Zhi Ren in the distance follow the sound.

The Yan Zhi Ren directly in front of Lu Ran also turns her head to look.

With just one glance, her expression freezes completely!

Because a pair of cold horizontal pupils is already before her eyes!

And that's not all!

In those pitch-black dead sheep eyes, black flames are burning...

Black Lamp Evil Technique: Fire in the Cage (Yin)!

This technique is a single-target control skill; any target illuminated by the black fire has their movement hindered!

Against a River Realm demon, this technique cannot freeze them in place, only slightly interfere with their actions.

But for Lu Ran, this is already enough!

The churning mist, the burning horizontal pupils, and the Jiye Blade charging straight in completely claim the Yan Zhi Ren's life!

"Sss!"

The blade pierces flesh, penetrating the throat!

The Yan Zhi Ren widens her beautiful eyes, her bloodless soft lips trembling gently.

"Shh!" Lu Ran covers the Yan Zhi Ren's mouth with his left hand.

He takes a step forward, pressing her against the pillar while pulling out the blade in his right hand.

Streams of blood flow from her neck, and the luster in her eyes quickly dissipates.

"You love me, right?"

Their gazes intertwine, their brows touching.

This scene is also captured by the night surveillance camera in the mall.

In the pitch-black environment, Lu Ran leans into her ear, whispering:

"Now, we can be together forever."
