Chapter 407

Seven days later, on the snow mountain.

In the lush snow forest, a floor mirror suddenly opened, and two figures darted out one after another, breaking the tranquility of this world.

Deng Yuxiang fell heavily to the ground, her body trembling as she rolled repeatedly in the snow.

Lu Ran, meanwhile, stepped on black clouds and flew backward.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

One Night Charm blade after another flew out from the floor mirror, crazily chasing and killing the two humans.

Retract!

Lu Ran was extremely anxious, roaring in his heart, trying his best to close the floor mirror.

At the same time, Lu Ran draped a bright red ceremonial cape over himself!

He reached out with one hand, and the dragon-embroidered and phoenix-patterned cuffs suddenly expanded, sucking a string of Night Charm blades into them.

Lady Lady Yanzhi Evil Technique · Lady Lady Yanzhi Sleeve!

At the critical moment, I still have to rely on Sister Lady Lady Yanzhi to cover for me~

"Hoo!!"

Lu Ran landed steadily, sliding backward and stirring up endless frost and snow.

What a group of Night Charms!

They are truly damn ferocious.

Lu Ran recalled the extremely dangerous scene just now, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

For the past few days, the two members of the Lu Sect had been heading north all the way.

As the altitude got higher and higher, the lush forest turned into a snow-covered forest.

The two finally entered the territory of the Night Charm clan.

In fact, the two of them hadn't even seen the legendary Night Charm Lake yet.

But Lu Ran knew in his heart that he had already entered the sphere of influence of the Night Charm clan!

Within this realm, all the Holy Spirit Qi that descended from the sky belonged to the Night Charm clan.

Like Lu Ran, an outsider, once discovered, would naturally be executed on the spot!

Just two days ago, when Lu Ran was collecting Holy Spirit Qi, he encountered the Night Charm clan, and since then, a battle of chasing and counter-killing had lasted for two full days!

Lu Ran felt his hair stand on end just recalling the dangers involved!

This group of Night Charms was highly skilled in martial arts, their blade techniques were ruthless, and every move was aimed at vital points!

And in this area, the number of Night Charms was extremely large, and they were incredibly united.

Also, because this clan didn't use their naked eyes to see the world, even when night fell, it didn't interfere with their pace of searching the mountains and chasing.

Even Lu Ran couldn't quite handle this kind of high-intensity chasing that went on day and night without rest.

Thanks to the fact that he had made full preparations before challenging the Divine Ruins, he had learned the Mirror Demon Evil Technique · Mirror Flower Moon, which allowed him to open a teleportation mirror!

Otherwise...

Not to mention what would happen to Lu Ran himself, Deng Yuxiang would probably have already fallen here!

"Nightmare?" Lu Ran hurriedly looked left and right, and under a pine tree in the distance, he saw the trembling woman.

The clothing under her abdomen was torn, and there was a bloody hole in her abdomen.

Fresh blood was gurgling out, blooming into flowers of blood on the clean snow.

A Night Charm blade had once pierced through her waist and abdomen.

It was just that as Lu Ran waved away the floor mirror, that Night Charm blade lost contact with its master and naturally dissipated without a trace.

"Hoo~"

Lu Ran flashed to her side in an instant, black flames ignited in his hands, and he hurriedly covered her lower abdomen.

He felt both heartache and self-reproach, and even his form of address changed: "Sorry, sister, the evil statues in the garden upgrade automatically; I can't interrupt it."

Originally, Deng Yuxiang fought while retreating, which was very methodical.

But as Lu Ran's head went "boom," the Night Charm evil statue suddenly upgraded, and Deng Yuxiang suffered along with it.

On a battlefield full of dangers, one mistake could very likely lead to total destruction!

Not to mention that their opponents were the extremely dangerous Night Charm clan!

It just so happened that Lu Ran couldn't predict when the evil statues in the garden would upgrade.

Because in the Holy Lingshan, you simply couldn't know how much Holy Spirit Qi was hidden in the soul of each enemy.

"I'm, I'm fine." Deng Yuxiang barely managed to put on a smile.

Looking at Lu Ran's self-reproachful appearance, Deng Yuxiang tremblingly reached out and stroked his face.

There was no warm moment as imagined.

Her cold fingers pinched Lu Ran's cheek hard.

"Hiss!" Lu Ran gasped in pain.

Deng Yuxiang patted Lu Ran's cheek and whispered: "Alright, we're even."

Lu Ran found it both funny and heartbreaking: "You're really generous!"

Deng Yuxiang wanted to say something more, but pulled the corners of her mouth due to pain.

Of course, she wasn't blaming Lu Ran; she just wanted to divert his attention.

If one simply counted heads, since the two were being chased, they had killed at most forty-something Night Charms.

And half of them were at the Jiang Jing level.

Who would have thought that the River Estuary Realm Night Charm they just slaughtered would have such a sufficient amount of stock in its soul!

It was like opening a blind box; the two directly opened a golden legend!

Deng Yuxiang also changed from the majestic Qin Liangyu to the delicate and weak Lin Daiyu...

"Let's go." Lu Ran scooped her up.

He looked left and right, waved away the conspicuous bright red ceremonial cape on his body, and darted into the depths of the snow forest.

Ten minutes later, inside a natural small cave.

Lu Ran supported his buzzing head, helped the burning Deng Yuxiang, and sat down against the stone wall.

"Heh..."

Lu Ran let out a long sigh of relief, the back of his head against the stone wall.

The sudden upgrade of the evil statue also caused him no small amount of trouble.

Beside him, Deng Yuxiang was still trembling, but her state was gradually warming up, and her body was also becoming warm under the burning of the black fire.

She leaned against the stone wall, also letting out a long sigh of relief, the corners of her lips curling up.

The smile was somewhat self-deprecating.

What Lord of Evil Demons, what Lu Sect Protector—they hadn't even seen the shadow of the Night Charm Lake before being killed and fleeing in a panic...

"Woo~~~"

Outside the cave, the cold wind gradually rose, sounding like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Inside the cave, the light was dim and it was quiet.

I don't know how much time passed, but Lu Ran's brain finally stopped buzzing; the Night Charm evil statue had successfully upgraded.

River Estuary Realm · Third Stage!

Deng Yuxiang also calmed down, and the wounds on her body had long been completely healed by the River Artifact · Fire in the Cage.

"Alright, retract the Fire in the Cage."

"Burn a little longer, it's warm." Lu Ran whispered.

Deng Yuxiang hesitated for a moment, did not say any words of refusal, but whispered: "That divine weapon dagger ran away in the chaos."

Lu Ran let out a cold snort: "I saw it; it sure knows how to find opportunities."

Divine weapons naturally all recognize their masters.

For that dagger, perhaps the two of them, Lu and Deng, were no different from the robbers of the Heaven Disciple Mountain.

During the past few days of traveling, the two members of the Lu Sect had also tried to communicate with the dagger.

Unfortunately, the artifact spirit was very precious and disdained to waste words with the two.

In the words of Xiaguang, the dagger artifact spirit had sealed itself off, isolated from everything in the outside world.

I didn't expect that the dagger hadn't isolated itself completely!

It accurately seized the opportunity to escape.

"Let's talk about something happy." Lu Ran changed the subject, "It's only been a few days, and the Night Charm evil statue has upgraded again; it's something to celebrate."

Deng Yuxiang nodded gently; the last time the evil statue upgraded was seven days ago, right?

Or was it six days ago?

She couldn't remember clearly; thinking about it, as the time spent staying in the Holy Lingshan realm got longer, the concept of dates would become more blurred.

Lu Ran: "Your fusion with the statue is also getting higher and higher."

Deng Yuxiang: "..."

She naturally noticed that this upgrade of the Night Charm evil statue had a deeper impact on her body.

The benefit was that Deng Yuxiang was also more sensitive to the wind.

She knew that it wouldn't be long before she could achieve the effect of opening the North Wind Divine Law · Listening to the Wind's Chant using the racial characteristics of the Night Charm.

By then, her combat power would rise to another level!

"Sect Master."

"Hmm?"

"Let's rest for the night, and I'll start upgrading too."

"Are you ready?" Lu Ran looked at the woman beside him, feeling some worry in his heart.

After all, she had just walked before the gates of hell.

Lu Ran's Fire in the Cage could heal her body and soothe her mind, but her state of mind mainly had to be stabilized by herself.

"Can't wait." Deng Yuxiang responded.

After the River Estuary Realm, every time she upgraded a small stage, it could bring a considerable improvement to her physical quality and spellcasting intensity!

She really couldn't wait.

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and said: "Let's go further out and leave the sphere of influence of the Night Charm clan.

The quality of this group of assassins is truly high; they search day and night, and their ears are more sensitive than the next."

In fact, Lu Ran's heart was somewhat conflicted.

Because the stronger the Night Charm clan was, the happier he was...

Once the Night Charm evil statue upgraded to the Sea Realm, Lu Ran could create River Estuary Realm Night Charm minions!

By then, Lu Ran planned to summon a few more, form a small team, and attack the Night Charm Lake!

Thinking of this, Lu Ran couldn't help but feel suspicious: "You say, how did they distinguish the two of us?"

In the past few days, Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang had also tried to put on Night Charm clothing and mix into the team of evil demons.

But every time, the Night Charms could discover these two traitors.

Deng Yuxiang pondered: "The Night Charm clan doesn't use their eyes to see the world in the first place, and they are carved from the same mold.

Our behavior, including body odor and the like, are all possible reasons for exposure."

Sniff~

Lu Ran suddenly had a strange expression: "Is something wrong with my nose? Why is there still the scent of camellia on you?"

"Hmm?" Deng Yuxiang was somewhat puzzled; she could only smell the scent of blood.

As soon as Lu Ran's words left his mouth, he felt somewhat awkward.

He hurriedly coughed lightly and made the black fire burn more vigorously: "That, let's rest for a while, we'll leave right away."

The two had been struggling in this realm for about ten days, and had participated in many battles, but the two were very clean.

From the perspective of the body's interior:

Both were River Estuary Realm grand experts, already detached from the category of the human race.

They didn't need to eat or drink, relying purely on the energy between heaven and earth to survive, and their bodies were terrifyingly clean from the inside out.

From the outside:

The water flow armor presented in the form of water flow possessed the ability to clean and purify, gradually washing clean the skin of the two's bodies and their blood-stained clothing.

Therefore, after such a long time, there shouldn't be the scent of camellia on Deng Yuxiang's body anymore.

Everything could only be Lu Ran's psychological obsession.

Deng Yuxiang turned her head to look at Lu Ran, raised her eyebrows slightly, and teased: "Do you miss that scent?"

Or do you miss home?

In this Holy Lingshan, many things he was accustomed to, and various things from the human world, mostly didn't exist.

It was just that Deng Yuxiang didn't say the latter sentence out loud.

Too straightforward.

She was afraid he would lose face, and also afraid he would really feel sad.

However, Lu Ran's mouth was very stubborn.

He just looked indifferent and muttered: "I don't miss it. I just asked casually; it should have been a hallucination just now.

You are right by my side, accompanying me every day; why would I miss the scent of flowers?"

Deng Yuxiang's gaze froze slightly, staring blankly at Lu Ran.

But she saw Lu Ran summon the ancient bronze mirror, looking very busy, constantly searching for something.

After a long time, she lowered her head and smiled, softly saying "Hmm."

Lu Ran: "Let's go, let's go, let's find a safe place to upgrade first, just in time to hide for two days, and then we'll kill our way back and push the Night Charms to the Sea Realm!"

Deng Yuxiang: "Hmm, okay."
