Chapter 357: Human Blood Pool

"Baa!!!"

The bleating of a sheep suddenly rang out, and Blood Skull halted his movements.

He still remained silent, yet those blood-red pupils grew increasingly ferocious.

Blood Skull tossed Chen Jing aside as if discarding trash.

"Thud."

Chen Jing crashed heavily onto the ground, his momentum unbroken, rolling repeatedly toward the roadside.

Wherever he passed, crimson blood stained the pristine white snow, dragging out a long trail of gore.

Horrifying to behold!

Having cast aside the eyesore, Blood Skull spotted the young human male not far ahead.

Lu Ran, however, kept his eyes fixed on Chen Jing.

Just moments ago, Chen Jing had been lively and energetic, his hearty laughter still lingering in his ears.

Now, he was riddled with knife wounds, his life hanging in the balance.

Chen Jing finally came to a stop by the roadside, his gaze dull, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, while copious amounts of fresh blood gushed from his abdomen.

This miserable sight made Lu Ran feel as though he were about to explode!

"Save him!"

Lu Ran squeezed out the words through clenched teeth.

Behind Blood Skull, the newly recruited Two Two Biwu believer was still trembling uncontrollably.

He was terrified.

That fear, stemming from the depths of his heart, was something an ordinary person could never comprehend.

With merely a single exchange, Blood Skull had completely shattered the small squad.

The Wu Ya believer, severely injured, had fallen far to the ground.

The Qiu Mo believer's robes had been torn apart, his chest ripped open.

The Red Scarf believer had been stabbed once, twice, and yet again.

Three experienced seniors were thus cruelly slaughtered one by one before the eyes of the Two Two Biwu believer.

The people were utterly powerless to resist, fragile and unable to endure.

One by one, the River Realm believers resembled humble ants; though they seemed still alive, death was already inevitable.

Their only remaining value was to experience everything associated with nearing death.

In these final moments, to provide the evil spirit Blood Skull with extreme human emotions.

Blood Skull's actions, the bloody scent permeating his body, and the cruel aura he emitted completely shattered the Two Two Biwu believer's defenses.

Blood Skull was like a murderous vengeful ghost crawled up from hell.

He intended to smear the rainy alley with fresh blood,

pile up a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, creating a human blood pool.

Extreme fear left the Two Two Biwu believer's mind blank, causing him to lose even the instinct to flee.

"Save him!" Lu Ran shouted harshly.

"Ahhh!"

The Two Two Biwu believer shuddered, finally coming to his senses; with a pallid face, he stumbled toward Chen Jing.

At the same time, chaos erupted within Lu Ran's livestream room.

"What... what kind of evil spirit is this? I've never seen one like it before?"

"Was the person thrown aside that Red Scarf uncle from just now?"

"He... he's losing so much blood; is he dead?"

"I can't bear to watch; he was perfectly fine just a moment ago..."

"Damn it! It's Blood Skull, this is Blood Skull!"

"The chief of evil spirits! God Liangye Jian Yi's archenemy! Blood Skull!"

"Huh??"

"God Liangye Jian Yi's archenemy?"

"Within the Da Xia Realm, the only demon nest without any human stationing is the Blood Pool! The Blood Pool that breeds the Blood Skull clan!"

"Yes, even the military dares not station there; whoever enters dies! Only God Liangye Jian Yi is holding the line!"

"Is... is he that powerful? Could something happen to God Ran?"

"No! Please don't die!"

A cold wind blew past.

It swept over Blood Skull's body, carrying a pungent bloody scent that penetrated Lu Ran's black mask and flooded his nasal cavity.

One human and one demon stood facing each other.

Both were similar in height and build, and both wielded two slender blades.

The difference was,

Blood Skull had longer hair and was covered entirely in blood.

Those blood-red pupils resembled a pool of thick, congealed blood, intending to drown humans within it.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, stared with dead-sheep eyes, his horizontal pupils cold and sinister, as if a graveyard lurked behind him.

Although Lu Ran had bleated, Blood Skull did not attack immediately.

What surprised Lu Ran even more was that he sensed Blood Skull was more interested in the blade!

The moment Blood Skull looked at Lu Ran, he locked onto the Zhan Ye Dao!

"Lu Lu Tianjiao!"

"Lu Lu Tianjiao!" Voices came from all directions as several patrol teams rushed to the scene.

"Rescue the victims immediately and evacuate the wounded!" Lu Ran commanded.

"Lu—"

Others wanted to speak further, but Lu Ran cut them off forcefully: "This is an order; execute it immediately!"

As he spoke, Lu Ran slowly raised the Zhan Ye Dao, holding it vertically before his face.

As expected, the Blood Pupils examined the Zhan Ye Dao, and in a moment of carelessness, met Lu Ran's blazing gaze.

Xie Fa: Soul-Entangling Pupils!

The Blood Skull's eyes widened slightly; in the next instant, his figure flashed.

The Blood Skull clan possessed no defensive techniques; he was susceptible to illusions.

The moment he sensed danger, he chose to teleport.

Breaking the illusion by force?

Xie Fa: Blood Afterimage!

The battle erupted in an instant.

Lu Ran felt a chill run down his spine; he spun around sharply and raised his blade to block.

"Clang!!"

The crisp sound was extremely grating to the ears.

The Zhan Ye Dao collided heavily with the Blood Blade.

The blade had indeed blocked the attack.

But the blood droplets splashing from the Blood Blade sprayed all over Lu Ran.

Lu Ran:!!!

Scalding blood droplets fell upon the Water Flow Armor, rising in wisps of steam.

Lu Ran's Water Flow Armor naturally belonged to Jiang Pin!

At this moment, the armor seemed as though it were about to be soaked through by the blood droplets.

Lu Ran's heart tightened.

"Demon Lord! This is a Jiang Jing Demon Lord!" Lu Ran reported the situation immediately.

His words were transmitted via camera into thousands of households.

Likewise, Lu Ran's words were transmitted back to the command center through invisible earpieces, then relayed to everyone in Rain Alley.

"What?"

"Is it really a Demon Lord?"

"Hiss—" The Watchers in the distance all stiffened, with some even gasping sharply.

In truth, people had been mentally prepared.

Such extremely rare evil spirits, once they appeared, would stir up a storm of blood and wind in the human world.

The Blood Skull clan hardly had any weak members!

Yet the Watchers still harbored fantasies, hoping this Blood Skull was merely a River Realm third-stage evil spirit.

Even a River Realm fifth-stage would have been acceptable.

Now, those fantasies were shattered.

This was a Jiang Jing Demon Lord!

This was a Jiang Jing Blood Skull possessing absolute power to slaughter an entire city!

Lu Lu Tianjiao must stop the Blood Skull.

Merely defeating it was absolutely insufficient; the Blood Skull must be killed!

Once the Blood Skull was defeated and fled in panic,

wherever it passed, bones would pile up and rivers of blood would flow.

"Hold steady! Lu Ran, Ge Bin and I are arriving immediately!"

Liu Liu Yunlan's slightly anxious voice came through the earpiece.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran, for the first time, heard the Blood Skull's voice.

It was a sound of confusion.

The Blood Skull gripped the Blood Blade and pushed hard, only to discover that his strength was actually inferior to that of this human youth?

It was well known that under equal realm conditions, the physical strength of the evil spirit clans was generally superior to that of humans.

Beast-type evil spirits need not be mentioned.

Even the bodies of humanoid evil spirits were a notch stronger than those of pitiful humans.

However, Lu Ran possessed the Lie Hun Mo Xie Fa: Power of Soul Rending!

"Baa~" Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

The Blood Skull subconsciously raised his eyes.

Lu Ran's gaze condensed; a streak of bewitching red flashed across the bottom of his eyes.

The Blood Skull's pupils widened slightly, and his figure flashed away once more.

Lu Ran's blade sliced through the afterimage before him; smelling the pungent scent of blood, he slashed fiercely to the right.

"Clang!!"

The offensive momentum reversed!

The moment the Blood Skull materialized, he used attack as defense, blocking Lu Ran's horizontal slash.

The tremendous force numbed Blood Skull's Hukou.

He slid backward several meters, scattering scalding drops of blood across his path.

"Baa~" Lu Ran, pressing his advantage without mercy, churned immortal mist beneath his feet and cleaved straight down at Blood Skull with his blade.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

In just three to five seconds, the blades of both parties clashed frantically, producing a dense, unceasing sound.

Blood Skull realized that his own body was becoming increasingly heavy?

Yes,

within Lu Ran's thick, black horizontal pupils, a wisp of black flame had already ignited.

Black Lamp Clan's Yi Zu Xie Fa: Fire in the Cage (Yin)!

This technique is a single-target control skill; enemies illuminated by the black fire will have their movements impeded.

Since you dare not look into my eyes, then don't look.

I, this heavenly genius,

will look at your body!

"Whoosh~"

Blood Skull's figure vanished, instantly retreating twenty meters away to gaze at Lu Ran from afar.

The crowd of Rain Alley watching the battle from further away had been holding their breath for Lu Ran the entire time.

"Good!"

"Beautiful!"

"Hold steady! Hold steady!"

Seeing this scene, many people of Moon-Gazing City clenched their fists, lowering their voices to vent emotions they had nowhere else to release.

Blood Skull has retreated!

Forced by Heavenly Genius Lu to temporarily avoid his sharp edge!

Such a scene left the crowd both shocked and delighted.

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.

When the Head of Demons, Blood Skull, appeared, everyone had already imagined that tonight, Rain Alley City would be trampled under Blood Skull's feet, rivers of blood flowing.

Yet true gold fears no fire!

The number one heavenly genius of Great Xia was not built on empty boasts.

He was forged kill by kill, slash by slash!

In days past,

when the Jiang Jing Demon Lord, Evil Dog, came, we slaughtered the dog!

Two months ago,

when the Jiang Jing Demon Lord, Evil Spear Emperor, came, we slew the emperor!

Over the past year and a half, Rain Alley City has been like a small boat amidst towering waves, seeming as though it could be shattered by the surge at any moment.

Ghosts roamed the night, constantly waging war and trampling the land.

Demon Lords from all paths rushed to the human world to attend the banquet.

Wave after wave, they came and went.

Only one true god

has stood firm in this cursed land, unshaken!

Perhaps, for the demons, Rain Alley City itself is a "demon cave."

A pool of human blood burying countless ghosts and demon lords.

However many come, that many die!

"Good! Good, good, good!"

"Kill him to death! What the f*** Blood Skull, Demon Skull, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!"

"Teleportation! This bastard has teleportation! No wonder Blood Skull is so dangerous; how can God Ran kill him?"

"I dare not watch."

"Is Blood Skull burning? What is he doing? Is he about to unleash his ultimate move?"

"This is the Burning Blood Body! Blood Skull is exploding with power! Be careful..."

"Retreat, God Ran! Don't clash head-on; wait for Blood Skull to finish burning his blood! You must hold on, retreat first!"

The livestream room grew increasingly chaotic.

In the camera lens, Blood Skull's blood was boiling!

On Blood Skull's crimson skin, droplets of blood spurted out only to fall back into the skin.

It was as if the blood within Blood Skull's body had begun to boil.

This was not an ultimate move, but it was equally terrifying!

Blood Skull's Xie Fa: Burning Blood Body!

This technique, at the cost of burning blood and magical power, allows the caster's speed, strength, and other comprehensive attributes to skyrocket for a short period!

"Heh, Head of Demons."

Suddenly, Lu Ran's cold voice transmitted through the camera into the ears of thousands upon thousands of common people.

At the same time, energy within his body churned violently.

Jiang Pin Xie Fa: Evil Sense, maxed out!

Jiang Pin Xie Fa: Evil Agility, maxed out!

Jiang Pin Xie Fa: Power of Soul-Splitting, maxed out!

Jiang Pin Xie Fa: Fire in the Cage (Yin), maxed out!

"Baa~~~"

Amid the stunned gazes of everyone, Lu Ran did not avoid their sharp edge or fight while retreating.

Instead, Lu Ran bellowed, letting out a bleat that echoed through the rainy night!

"Hiss—"

Immortal mist spread, and immortal hooves surged forward.

Lu Ran charged straight toward the Demon Lord with boiling blood, Blood Skull.

You are the head of the evil demons?

I,

am the master of the evil demons!
