Chapter 355: Youth on a Snowy Night

"Bats are so cute, why kill the bats 【Dog Head. JPG】"

"Divine weapons are truly cool! No matter how many times I see them, I'm envious enough to turn red, able to move on their own"

"If I had a divine weapon, I'd take it out every day, floating beside me to show off!"

"What's Lu Ran made of? Lu Aotian? Just glance up at the sky, and all the Golden-Winged Bats get scared into peeing themselves?"

"I really want Lu Bao to wall-slam me! Glare at me, I tremble in fear, curling up in the corner ahhh! Lu Bao, don't kill the evil demons, kill me~~~"

"Why did God Ran stop? Keep going! Don't split up?"

From a first-person perspective, Lu Ran had already used the Divine Power Pearl to completely absorb several Golden-Winged Bats.

Afterwards, he seemed like an old monk in deep meditation!

Just holding the Divine Power Pearl and a small Demon Crystal in his hands, his body froze in place?

It cannot be denied that Lu Ran's combat choices just now were precise and clever; this was undoubtedly a bonus point.

But do you zone out on 'Heavenly Prodigy'?

Just added a point, isn't that all deducted back now?

The fans were extremely anxious, urging him on constantly.

Fortunately, Lu Ran didn't stare blankly for too long, and slowly raised the Silent Night Blade again.

People then realized this divine weapon was vibrating?

Vibrating?!

Immediately, many people thought of something.

Divine weapons in the world can vibrate at any time; that's not particularly strange.

But combined with Lu Ran's own reaction...

Is this a precursor to activating a divine weapon domain?

In an instant, countless eyes stared tightly at the screen, full of expectation!

Before, people had the fortune to witness firsthand Lu Ran activating the Xia Guang Dao's divine weapon domain and forcibly driving back the Ghosts of the Night March!

Truly shocking to the world!

Now, this Silent Night Blade is about to follow in its predecessor's footsteps and achieve great success in divine arts?

"Silent Night?" Lu Ran frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice.

The Silent Night Blade's vibration amplitude grew smaller and smaller.

Lu Ran's heart, along with that of countless viewers, sank together.

"Huff~"

Lu Ran completely absorbed the small Demon Crystal in his hand, then casually placed the Silent Night Blade upright before him, hovering in mid-air.

While fastening the Divine Power Pearl necklace, he communicated in his mind: "What did you just think of?"

Silent Night: "Silent Night."

Lu Ran: "..."

The Silent Night Blade, as always, maintained a cold attitude.

Even to its master's question, its response was very brief.

In front of the camera, Lu Ran naturally wouldn't ask aloud, but communicated in his heart:

"Explain in detail?"

"The evil demons intercepted you; the noise was very loud."

Lu Ran was somewhat helpless: "So what?"

Silent Night Blade: "I want a silent night, I want the evil demons to be silent."

Lu Ran:!!!

What does that mean?

Silence?

A huge storm surged in Lu Ran's heart; he hurriedly asked: "Do you want to forbid the evil demons from making sound?

Or forbid the evil demons from casting spells?

Which path caused your violent reaction just now?"

The Silent Night Blade responded: "Further realization is still needed."

"Gulp." Lu Ran swallowed, and gradually, his face filled with wild joy!

However, in the next moment, a basin of cold water was poured down, drenching Lu Ran from head to toe: "I was interrupted."

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment: "Interrupted?"

Silent Night Blade: "Just as you experienced, I was intercepted."

Lu Ran fell silent for a moment and arrived at an answer:

The divine weapon domains collided!

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and asked in his heart: "Who is the other party? Where are they?"

If divine weapon domains collide, between the two divine weapons, there will be a faint connection in the mysterious forces of fate.

Silent Night Blade: "Unclear."

Unclear?

Lu Ran thought for a moment and nodded lightly: "You just had an idea, just found the direction you Boss Boss Qihe with.

After all, the time is short and the scope is shallow.

In that case, you confirm this path and study it diligently first.

After 'Heavenly Prodigy' ends, we two will discuss it properly."

Zhan Ye Dao: "Mm."

Lu Ran weighed Zhan Ye Dao in his hand, and a restless heart immediately settled down.

Zhan Ye Dao had finally found a suitable path, but the moment a hint of it appeared, it was blocked.

Judging by this,

the opponent is extremely domineering, isn't he?

As everyone knows, regarding the contest for a Divine Weapon Domain, the challenger stands at an absolute disadvantage.

After all, the opponent possesses a Divine Weapon Domain, while you temporarily do not.

Furthermore, if Zhan Ye Dao's Divine Weapon Domain truly is the "Silence Great Art"...

how can one possibly challenge that?

Even if one possesses ten thousand kinds of Xie Fa, they would be unusable!

In this world, divine arts and Xie Fa can at most disrupt the energy within a target or interfere with their spellcasting.

They fundamentally cannot reach the level of "forbidding spellcasting" entirely.

The question arises:

Can a purification method purify silence?

Between the two, which has higher priority?

While pondering this, Lu Ran had long since activated his Immortal Hooves, slaughtering relentlessly throughout the urban district.

He seemed to have entered a mysterious state.

It was like a person walking; one does not need to consciously think about stepping forward.

Instinct takes over one's body and actions.

Though Lu Ran was Burdened with Worries, when killing evil spirits, he was utterly clean and sharp.

Whether it was the work of his subconscious or the aid of muscular memory,

in any case,

by the time Lu Ran came to his senses, he had already been rushing and killing within the city for quite some time!

What surprised Lu Ran even more was that he had moved away from the Central Plaza and charged toward the HX District.

He now stood on the thoroughfare connecting Hedong and Hexi—the head of Wu Lie Bridge!

"Hehe."

Lu Ran suddenly laughed.

Facts proved that he belonged to Hexi; his instinct had led him back here.

Great Xia has an old saying:

"Since we're already here..."

Lu Ran did not know that at this moment, the livestream room had exploded into an uproar:

"Fast, it's simply too fast; it makes my heart ache for Sister Jiang!"

"East Thunder North Wind? Hah, not even comparable to my little lamb leg giving a gentle kick~"

"I can't see clearly, I don't understand! But I can hear the evil spirits wailing in a continuous string; so satisfying!!"

"Ah~ I've vomited three times already; don't stop, continue! I can vomit even more."

"Hiss—"

The sound of churning Immortal Mist rose again.

In the camera's view, the streetscape on both sides of the road rushed backward at high speed, a chaos of dancing snowflakes.

One evil spirit after another was struck in a line of continuous hits.

The Immortal Mist remaining in the world outlined Lu Ran's path of advance.

"Baa~~~"

Suddenly, a sound of a bleating sheep rang out outside the gate of Hexi Park.

On a narrow and dilapidated overpass, a patrol squad came to a halt.

The lowest-grade Mist Product, the Sound of Sorrow and Fear, would not bring much trouble to the soldiers of the human race.

Yet it was sufficient to arouse the cruel nature of the evil spirits.

Upon the overpass, Sun Sun Zhengfang's eyes lit up: "Lu Ran?"

A fanged-faced man, in the nick of time, activated his petrified body to make a futile last stand.

Lu Ran held Ba Huang Ju Mie in his left hand, the blade pressed against the fanged-faced man's neck, pushing the evil spirit forward as he advanced.

Thick lines of Immortal Mist threaded their way beneath the overpass.

Sun Sun Zhengfang was extremely excited!

He hurriedly turned around and ran toward the bridge railing on the other side.

As he looked down to observe, he happened to witness the fanged-faced man's petrified body shatter.

The young man in black clothes wielded his Tang Dao, instantly severing the evil spirit's vicious head.

Rarely, the young man stopped.

He turned, looked up, and waved to the patrol squad on the bridge.

"Hahahaha!"

On this terrifying night of the fifteenth, the old captain actually burst into loud laughter.

The usually steady Sun Sun Zhengfang unexpectedly revealed such a heroic side; pointing one finger at Lu Ran, he looked at the new teammate beside him:

"This is Laozi's soldier, a Great Xia Lu Tianjiao; he is my soldier, hahaha!"

Wei Long, who was usually expressionless, also displayed a smile on his face.

The two new Moon-Watching people who had just joined the patrol team watched Lu Ran step backward and turn to leave, their eyes burning with intense heat.

"Hiss—"

Immortal mist and frost snow filled the air as that legendary figure vanished at the end of the long street.

Compared to the central square of Rain Alley City, the people of Great Xia naturally felt more affection for the Rain Alley Hexi District.

After all, when Lu Ran first entered "Heavenly Prodigy," he had patrolled in circles within the Hexi District and made his start right there.

"Is that Captain Sun?"

"It is him, the old captain before Flame God became a Jiang Jing powerhouse; the one beside him is Spicy Strip Brother!"

"This is Hexi Park; that's the overpass. I remember this place!"

"The old captain is smiling like a blooming flower, haha, so proud~"

"The curtain is falling; it's really time for the curtain to fall."

"So reluctant; it feels like seeing each other for the last time and saying goodbye forever 【Big Crying. JPG】"

"Stopped again? That's the auto repair shop, isn't it by the Wu Lie River?"

Since Lu Ran broke into Hexi, the atmosphere inside the live stream gradually changed.

Everyone knew this was the final episode of "Heavenly Prodigy."

Counting carefully, Lu Ran had accompanied everyone for a year.

Even Lu Ran himself found it hard to understand what kind of emotions the world had poured into him.

Or perhaps Lu Ran could feel a tiny bit of empathy.

When he was a fragile ordinary person, when he spent his nights in fear within the shelter on the fifteenth of every month, he too had relied on crosstalk and storytelling to fall asleep.

The difference was,

Lu Ran was a real person, slaying demons and evil spirits with every slash of his blade.

He was the spiritual sustenance of countless Great Xia people.

He was even the source of courage and the spiritual pillar for many to keep living.

And such a Lu Ran was about to depart.

"Moo!!"

A piercing scream echoed through the live stream.

The massive Soul-Rending Demon was gutted, its ferocious ox head sliced open again.

In front of the residential complex gate, Lu Ran's speed suddenly dropped as he turned his head to look aside.

"Yo, kid!"

In the snow, a bare-chested man with a red cloth wrapped around his head grinned at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran sized the other man up and down, and a muffled voice came from behind his mask:

"This time is okay; there's progress."

Chen Jing immediately became displeased: "What do you mean?

Every time I see you, I'm hanging by a thread and covered in wounds, right?"

Standing at the complex entrance, Lu Ran glanced toward the direction of home: "I'm going, Uncle."

"Hiss—"

Snowflakes danced as the figure moved into the distance.

A voice drifted from afar: "Don't die."

Chen Jing watched that carefree departing back and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Understood!"

The rough man's laughter echoed through the night sky, yet it could not dispel the growing sorrow in people's hearts.

"I know this place; this is Rain Alley Home!"

"Is Lu Ran running along the previous patrol route? It's all memories."

"I have never been to Rain Alley, yet it feels like returning to my hometown."

"Slow down, youth; run slower. The road to growing up is not easy."

"Don't listen to them; charge! Lu Ran!! Charge!!"

"On that snowy night, the youth sprinted through the small Rain Alley City, his destination—the peak of Great Xia!"
