Chapter 394

【Are they ill-intentioned?】 Deng Yu Xiang remained calm, transmitting her thoughts.

【It's possible.】 Lu Ran responded immediately.

Deng Yu Xiang stood with an arrogant posture, glancing lightly at the red-robed woman directly in front, her gaze sweeping over the three men behind the woman.

Judging by their age, they all appeared to be in their thirties or forties.

In terms of temperament and presence, they had clearly transcended the scope of ordinary people; they should all be in the River Estuary Realm!

The few people naturally sensed Deng Yu Xiang's scrutinizing gaze and couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

Anyone could see that this pair of man and woman were very young, only around twenty years old.

Perhaps, they might not even be twenty yet?

Yet, the two of them possessed an astonishing demeanor!

The young woman was high-spirited and vigorous, with a tall and straight figure, her brows full of burgeoning heroic spirit.

She was as scorching and dazzling as the midday sun!

As for the eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth, while not as overbearing, he was equally heroic and upright.

Especially that pair of eyes—mysterious and profound.

One could not see the slightest emotional fluctuation within them, as if they could contain everything and also swallow everything.

Who exactly were these two?

Since they could challenge the Divine Ruins, they were naturally dragons and phoenixes among men.

The problem was, these two were too young!

So young that it made people feel wary, fearing their future.

At the same time, the four people hiding in the rear were also secretly observing the backs of Lu Ran and his companion.

The youngest man among them looked to be at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with greed, sizing up the weapons on Lu Ran's back.

Finally, his gaze locked onto the artifact attached to Lu Ran's waist—the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd.

"Gulp." The man swallowed, then shifted his gaze to avoid being detected by staring for too long.

If not for their fear of this treasure, the four people hiding in the shadows could have gotten much closer.

Unfortunately, the ways that Divine Weapons and artifacts perceive the world are different; if they got too close, they would likely detect each other's presence.

The four people hiding in the dark did not yet know if there was a Divine Weapon among the four blades on Lu Ran's back.

But observing from afar, at the very least, that gourd—which had no bindings and was stuck to Lu Ran's waist on its own—was definitely a treasure!

As both sides secretly sized each other up, Deng Yu Xiang finally spoke, her thin lips parting slightly:

"Last night, the rumbling sound in the sky—who was it from?"

"We, too, have only heard the sound and never seen the person." The red-robed woman shook her head with a smile.

She added, "However, since this mysterious existence can trigger such earth-shattering sounds, you and I already have an answer in our hearts, don't we?"

Deng Yu Xiang remained expressionless, continuing to ask without any courtesy: "The road back—how do we go?"

"Back? Back where?"

"Home, to the Human Realm."

"Hehehehehe." The red-robed woman suddenly laughed, the bitterness in her smile seeming genuine.

She tilted her head back, looking toward the peaks shrouded in the sea of clouds, and sighed deeply: "Fellow Daoist, you have stumped me. We have walked so far—can we still find the road back?"

Deng Yu Xiang watched the woman quietly, truly not expecting this sentence to have such lethality.

Just one sentence, and it actually made the other party laugh until tears came out?

"Excuse me." The red-robed woman quickly composed her emotions, nodded apologetically toward Deng Yu Xiang, her eyes full of confusion, "Fellow Daoist, are you two really disciples of the Divine Sheep?"

Deng Yu Xiang said indifferently: "So what if we are, and what if we aren't?"

The red-robed woman looked completely baffled: "Forgive my presumption, but I truly cannot imagine that disciples of the Divine Sheep would come to this realm.

Moreover, the Divine Sheep faction is mostly gentle and friendly, not fond of strife.

Observing your imposing and inviolable presence, you truly do not seem like students of the Divine Sheep."

Deng Yu Xiang's lips curled slightly, a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Are you very fixated on our identity as believers?"

The red-robed woman's smile stiffened, then she put on a gentle face again: "It was my presumption; I was indeed just curious."

Behind the woman, a black-robed man looked cold and spoke up: "Youngsters!

Our Lady of the Stronghold has been treating you with courtesy and sincerity; don't be ungrateful!"

"Step back!" The red-robed woman looked displeased and shouted in a low voice.

"I've been tolerating you for a long time!" Another burly man with short hair stepped forward, "What are you acting so high and mighty for?"

"Jia Yanbiao!" The red-robed woman's expression changed slightly, and she hurried forward to stop him.

It seemed this man was reckless and could not be turned away with mere words.

"You ignorant things!" Jia Yanbiao shouted with a coarse voice, "Do you still think this is the Great Xia?

Do you still think you're so impressive? Does everyone have to pamper you?

Who the hell isn't in the River Estuary Realm?"

Jia Yanbiao seemed to have truly lost his temper; even as the red-robed woman tried to stop him, he pushed and shoved his way forward.

The red-robed woman shouted sternly: "Jia Yanbiao!!"

【Heh, here it comes.】 Lu Ran's sneer imprinted itself into Deng Yu Xiang's mind.

Deng Yu Xiang watched the two pushing and shoving with cold eyes, then heard a soft cry from the red-robed woman.

Jia Yanbiao grew angrier the more he cursed; seemingly unaware of his own strength, he shoved the red-robed woman who was blocking him aside.

"My Lady!"

"Lady Luo!" Including Jia Yanbiao, the three black-robed men shouted simultaneously and rushed forward.

The red-robed woman, addressed as "Lady Luo," fell sideways toward the position where Deng Yu Xiang was standing.

"Hiss!!"

Suddenly, blood-colored energy surged beneath Lady Luo's feet, as if a sea of blood were churning.

Prisoner Demon Divine Technique · Blood Sea Chaos!

This technique can disrupt the divine power within a target's body and interfere with their spellcasting.

The red-robed woman finally revealed her true colors!

The look in her eyes as she stared at Deng Yu Xiang was full of malice—where was the gentle smile now?

The sudden change of face was almost unbelievable.

Why?

Everyone was of the human race, and it was their first meeting with no deep-seated hatred—why resort to killing directly?

However, when many people asked such questions, it was already too late.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The moment Lady Luo released the Divine Technique · Blood Sea Chaos, several illusory short blades attacked from the mountain forest behind Lu Ran and Deng Yu Xiang.

The piercing sound of air being torn apart made one's scalp tingle!

These short blades were all illusory, clearly the Divine Technique · Blade of Evil.

Clearly, the few people hiding in the shadows were all disciples of the Third-Class God · Nu Sha.

And the blades of evil flying in from all angles were all targeting Lu Ran.

It was clear that the two teams, one in front and one behind, had a very clear division of labor.

"Hiss!!"

Also at the very first moment, thick white mist surged from beneath Lu Ran's feet, billowing out in all directions.

Jade-Faced Snake Evil Technique · Immortal Realm!

This technique was a method of purification.

"Hmm?"

"W-what?" Everyone's expressions changed in shock!

This youth actually reacted so quickly?

His move was simultaneous with Lady Luo's—they had cast their spells at almost the exact same time!

So, had these two young people sensed something was wrong all along?

Then why didn't they run away?

Also, what kind of Divine Technique was this?

Immortal Hooves?

If it were Immortal Hooves, why didn't the youth displace?

If it were Immortal Hooves, why would the white mist billow out rapidly in all directions?

Wrong! Something was wrong!

"This guy?"

"He"—amidst the suppressed voices of the Nu Sha disciples, Lu Ran cast his spell while his figure swayed repeatedly.

From beginning to end, Lu Ran never looked back, yet it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head, dodging blade of evil after blade of evil!

"Hmph." Deng Yu Xiang let out a cold snort and reached a hand forward.

She stood proudly, with the churning sea of blood right in front of her!

The fiercely surging sea of blood should have submerged her ankles, causing the divine power in her body to run wild and become impossible to mobilize.

But the Immortal Mist would not allow it!

The thick Immortal Mist that also billowed out not only blocked the sea of blood but was also frantically purifying the battlefield environment and expanding the scope of protection.

The Sea of Mist forced the sea of blood into a retreat, completely crushing it!

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~!"

Several wind blades flew rapidly from Deng Yu Xiang's palm, stabbing straight at the red-robed Lady Luo.

Lady Luo's pupils shook:!!!

Wind Blades?

This little bitch, she really wasn't a disciple of the Divine Sheep!

She was actually a believer of the Second-Class God · Lord Bei Feng?!

"What a scheme!" Lady Luo gritted her silver teeth, squeezing the words out from between them, her bright red robe fluttering.

The sneak attack failed, and she hadn't seized the initiative.

But so what?

Eight battle-hardened, experienced River Estuary Realm experts—could they not take down two wet-behind-the-ears children?

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The Night Charm Blade connected in a string, breaking the surface with a point, as if to pierce the Prisoner Demon Divine Technique · Blood Evil Garment!

The three black-robed men led by Jia Yanbiao, who had originally pretended to be worried about Lady Luo and rushed forward to help, now revealed their true colors and killed straight toward Deng Yu Xiang.

But in the next moment, everyone was stunned.

"Whoosh!!"

A gale rose suddenly.

But it wasn't a tornado from the Lord Bei Feng faction, but a pure, forward-rushing gale?

Night Charm Evil Technique · Night Wind Attack!

This... how could this be?

Everyone was completely bewildered!

Could Lord Bei Feng Divine Techniques also change moves? Could they be used to this extent?

Deng Yu Xiang's mouth curled slightly.

The palm she reached forward was soft, fair, and her jade fingers were slender.

Beautiful,

yet it also wove a nightmare for several murderous bandits.

"Hiss—"

The Immortal Mist beneath Deng Yu Xiang's feet churned, and without warning, she suddenly shuttled through!

When everyone in their hearts concluded that this was a powerful Lord Bei Feng disciple, they naturally had corresponding psychological preparations.

And Deng Yu Xiang's sudden Immortal Hooves immediately made everyone's eyes widen in disbelief!

"What is this?"

"How is it possible—careful!"

"Lady Luo!!" Exclamations arose everywhere, and strips of blood chains appeared out of thin air, attempting to intercept the enemy.

"Crack! Crack! Crack..."

The sound of chains shattering came one after another.

The bright and dazzling woman held a broken blade while dashing forward, dragging a long blade mark behind her!

The attack power of the blade mark was particularly astonishing, forcibly severing the crisscrossing blood chains in her path.

Night Charm Evil Technique · Night Shadow Charm Mark!

A single-target point-killing technique with unparalleled lethality!

In an instant, Deng Yu Xiang, holding the broken blade, had already killed her way to Lady Luo's front.

Lady Luo's heart hung in her throat, and she screamed in shock: "You dare!!"

"Whoosh!!"

She tapped her feet on the ground, and countless blood-colored chains shot out from beneath her!

The number of chains was countless, dense, and shot out in all directions without any blind spots.

Prisoner Demon Divine Technique · Prisoner Demon Grand Array!

This technique must never be used lightly.

Because the original intention of the God · Prisoner Demon in creating this technique was to give believers the qualification to hold off a hundred when surrounded!

And the terrified Lady Luo, facing only Deng Yu Xiang's attack, had already used her ultimate move.

"Whoosh!"

Deng Yu Xiang's figure stopped suddenly, as if she had no inertia at all.

It left people dumbfounded!

And her lips curled slightly, her smile wanton.

Because...

Suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air, flashing above Lady Luo's head.

Above her head!

There was no defense from the bright red robe here, nor were there endless blood chains.

"Hiss!"

A flash of rosy light, brilliant and dazzling.

Soul-Splitting Power, strength maxed out!

The blade tip pierced from top to bottom, opening a layer of water-flow armor on top of Lady Luo's head.

It forcibly nailed itself into Lady Luo's crown!

"Ah—" Lady Luo's shrill scream had just begun before it came to an abrupt end.

Her face was twisted, her eyeballs bulging, her face full of terror.

And beneath her feet, the endless blood chains shooting in all directions suddenly "softened," dropping to the ground one after another.

Lu Ran held the blade handle with both hands, standing behind Lady Luo, having nailed through her body.

Nailing her until she knelt on the ground.

In an instant, the battlefield was silent.

A crowd of Prisoner Demon disciples and Nu Sha disciples seemed to be able to hear their own violent heartbeats.

Lu Ran turned his head, looked at the pale-faced Jia Yanbiao in the distance, and smiled:

"Who the hell isn't in the River Estuary Realm, huh?"

Today I will tell you what kind of River Estuary Realm you are.

And what kind of River Estuary Realm I am!

Begging for some monthly tickets!
