Chapter 452

Old saying goes: Tiger back, bee waist, mantis legs.

He Qi Feng has it all; she was born to be a martial artist!

With broad shoulders and a slim waist, her long legs are swift and powerful, running as if she were stepping on wind-fire wheels...

Come to think of it, she was selected after layers of screening in Great Xia to participate in "Pride."

She was even exceptionally admitted by the God: Wu Seng, becoming the only female disciple of the Wu Seng sect in the last forty years!

He Qi Feng's talent is naturally the most top-tier in the world.

It's just that she's slightly inferior in terms of looks, only considered upper-middle.

Completely incomparable to the Great Nightmare.

But this world speaks through strength; at levels like River Estuary and Sea, everyone looks at temperament and aura.

Looks can't be eaten as food.

"Eh? Eh?" Lu Ran suddenly sensed something was wrong!

Such a big Wu Seng young lady was about to rush right in front of him, yet showed no signs of slowing down?

Lu Ran's body tensed, almost unable to resist taking action and slashing her with his blade!

"Stop... Whoa!" In the end, he didn't take action and was hugged tightly.

The huge momentum forced him to take several steps back before he could barely stand firm.

"Pat! Pat!"

He Qi Feng's short hair fluttered as she excitedly patted Lu Ran's back, her laughter very hearty: "Haha, long time no see!"

On the side, Fish Changsheng watched this scene of joyful hugging silently.

His eyes were deep, his gaze fixed on Lu Ran's face.

This is what you call not being familiar?

"Mm-hmm, long time no see." Lu Ran grimaced, his straw cape covered in a thin layer of water armor, which hummed and vibrated from He Qi Feng's patting.

In the forest, the three Wu Seng believers also stopped.

Two of them were over forty, while the other Wu Seng believer was very young, looking only about twenty-five or twenty-six.

At this moment, this youth was also watching the hugging scene, feeling sour inside.

But he only watched from afar, not daring to say anything.

"Lu Ran! It's really, it's really Lu Ran!"

"Lu Ran..." the excited voice sounded again.

Behind the three Wu Seng believers, two more men chased up; they were both wearing grass clothes and grass sandals, and their temperament didn't look like Wu Seng believers.

It looked like these two were twins, with eight or nine points of similarity in their appearance.

"What are you two saying?" The sour young Wu Seng disciple looked at the two Biwu believers.

Regarding the Zhu Huai and Zhu Hua brothers, people of the Wu Seng sect mostly didn't have a good attitude.

On one hand, it was looking down on them; on the other, they had been cheated miserably...

"Reporting to my lord! The young man Hall Master He is hugging is named Lu Ran, also one of the Great Xia Prides!"

"My lord! Don't look at Lu Ran's young age; among the Great Xia Prides, Lu Ran is the one who outshines all heroes, famous throughout the world..."

The Zhu brothers spoke one after another; although their voices were low, they were so excited that their speech trembled.

"Oh, so he's also a Pride."

The Wu Seng youth said this, but felt even more sour inside.

He snorted coldly in his heart and asked: "You two are talking big, then what rank is this young man surnamed Lu on the Pride list?"

Zhu Huai and Zhu Hua looked at each other, naturally sensing the Wu Seng youth's unfriendly tone.

"We... our brothers entered Holy Lingshan in early August last year; at that time, Lu Ran had only participated in two 'Pride' shows..."

"What's with the nonsense! I'm asking you what rank he was! At that time?"

"First."

"What did you say?" The Wu Seng youth's expression was stunned as he looked at the Zhu brothers.

Hearing the term "First," even the two slightly older Wu Seng believers were surprised.

Zhu Huai hurriedly apologized with a smile: "My lord, we wouldn't dare lie to you!"

Zhu Hua also hurriedly echoed: "It's really first!"

"First?" The Wu Seng youth couldn't help but carefully size up Lu Ran.

In fact, when He Qi Feng revealed the "Pride" program, most of the disciples at Martial Extreme Peak were dismissive.

It is no exaggeration to say that the experts within the entire Holy Lingshan realm basically look down on the so-called experts of the human world.

This is a world of a higher dimension!

Compared to the human world, Holy Lingshan is a "High Martial World."

Great Xia Pride?

So what?

Just a bunch of little kids playing house in a greenhouse.

Once you enter our Holy Lingshan, what are you?

Young man, cast aside your worthless honor, lower your arrogant head; in this world, you must learn to be in awe!

However, He Qi Feng used pure, hard strength to tell the Wu Seng disciples...

What! Is! TM! Great Xia Pride!

Since ancient times, literature has no first, martial arts has no second!

Everyone, stop the nonsense, just fight...

Facts have proven:

He Qi Feng was a Pride in the human world, and in this Holy Lingshan realm, she is still a child of heaven!

Even He Qi Feng could only settle for second place, so what kind of immortal figure must the legendary "Great Xia First Pride" be?

How could everyone present not secretly glance at him?

The Wu Seng youth's mindset straightened out quite a bit, his expression becoming much more serious as he asked the Zhu brothers: "What god is this young man a believer of?"

The Zhu brothers looked at each other.

Both felt a bit of fear in their hearts.

They naturally wanted to tell the truth, but were worried the truth would sound too fake...

Would they be punished?

"Answer!" The Wu Seng youth looked displeased as he watched the two.

Zhu Huai stammered: "Reporting to my lord, Lu Ran... Pride Lu is..."

"What's with the stutter? Is it that mysterious? Can't even say it?"

Zhu Hua gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, saying in a deep voice: "Pride Lu is an Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer!"

Wu Seng youth:???

The other two Wu Seng disciples also had quite spectacular expressions.

The Wu Seng youth reacted for a moment, then grabbed Zhu Hua by the collar:

"You! Say! What?"

"What are you shouting about?" From afar, He Qi Feng's stern voice came.

The Wu Seng youth hurriedly let go of Zhu Hua, bowing his head toward He Qi Feng to express his apology.

Lu Ran looked at the twins in grass clothes and asked tentatively: "Are these two your servants?"

"You little brat!" He Qi Feng spat lightly, "Still as annoying as ever."

"Hehe~"

"They are my subordinates." He Qi Feng stood with her hands behind her back, gazing at the few.

The aura of a superior she inadvertently revealed was very majestic, making Lu Ran click his tongue in wonder.

Only when she looked at Lu Ran again did her face show some smiles: "These two brothers are quite quick-witted.

Before, when I was fighting a group of people, they recognized me.

Later, when the brothers were hunted and had absolutely nowhere to go, they thought of me and fled all the way to our Martial Extreme Peak."

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly, listening silently.

He Qi Feng smiled: "To seek protection, in their desperation, they claimed to be my good friends, bluffing and lying, and the guards brought them up the mountain.

When I saw them, I was stunned, thinking I didn't even know these two people!

As it turned out, they were crying and wailing, saying they recognized me from watching TV on 'Pride,' and apologized to me for a long time..."

After the explanation, Lu Ran understood the ins and outs.

After the Wu Seng disciples in the guard unit realized they had been deceived, they were truly quite angry!

He Qi Feng was generous; after investigating the brothers, she didn't drive them away but kept them as subordinates.

At least they were two River Estuary Realm entry-level Biwu believers, so their healing ability was guaranteed.

According to He Qi Feng: "It's all to stay alive!"

Using one's brain is naturally normal.

Through this incident, Lu Ran realized a problem!

One must know that human believers are constantly being thrown into Holy Lingshan by the gods.

And those thrown in after 2019 should all know the Great Xia Pride group, right?

The title of Pride should have a certain appeal!

The two brothers are the best example.

They were indeed at their wit's end, but rashly breaking into Martial Extreme Peak was equivalent to walking into a tiger's den!

From this, it can be seen: the brothers gambled their lives entirely on the title of "Great Xia Second Pride."

Lu Ran couldn't help but nod secretly.

He Qi Feng can attract followers, and likewise, so can he!

This is the advantage of being a Great Xia Pride!

If he could get He Qi Feng, the influence and appeal of the Ran Sect would certainly reach a higher level!

"When did you come to Holy Lingshan?" He Qi Feng changed the subject, "Was it the nineteenth of the first lunar month?"

"How did you know?" Lu Ran was a bit confused.

"On the nineteenth, a Divine Ruin opened on Fallen Immortal Mountain; the whole world knew." He Qi Feng said with a smile, "Among the Xiang Xiang Xianyang believers, who could shatter a Divine Ruin? I guessed it was you!"

"Oh..."

"Ever since I came here, I've been looking for you." He Qi Feng's eyes were bright, looking straight into Lu Ran's eyes, "I really didn't expect to meet you here! It's truly a coincidence!"

Her smile was very bright: "Thanks to my sharp eyes, I saw the rosy light! Otherwise, we would have missed each other."

"We wouldn't have missed each other." Lu Ran also smiled, "I came here specifically to find you."

"Hmm?" He Qi Feng was a bit surprised, "You came specifically to find me?"

"Yeah."

"How did you know I came to Holy Lingshan?"

"It told me." Lu Ran took a bead out of his pocket.

"This is..." He Qi Feng's eyes narrowed instantly!

Lu Ran held the precious bead in his palm and handed it forward: "I recognized this Wind Barrier Bead, so naturally I knew you were here too."

He Qi Feng didn't take the bead, but looked at Lu Ran in disbelief:

"Where did you get this bead?"

Lu Ran looked at the Wu Seng young lady amusedly: "Who snatched your bead, don't you know yourself?"

He Qi Feng's expression stiffened: "You encountered that group? Then you didn't... Then they..."

She subconsciously wanted to ask how Lu Ran was, but Lu Ran was standing right in front of her, and the answer was obvious.

So...

Lu Ran grinned: "They dared to snatch Pride He's bead, could I just let them be?"

He Qi Feng looked at Lu Ran blankly.

Lu Ran returned a classic expression—a pursed-lip smile.

Gradually, He Qi Feng's expression became complex, looking straight into Lu Ran's eyes: "A River Estuary Realm high-level Crow believer, a River Estuary Realm peak Divine Divine Lie Tian believer, and a Sea Realm high-level Heaven Phoenix believer."

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: "Whatever Heaven Phoenix or Divine Divine Lie Tian, River or Sea...

When fighting, it's just like that."

He Qi Feng: "You... you slaughtered them all?"

Lu Ran didn't speak again, just shrugged his shoulders again.

He Qi Feng's eyes widened slightly:!!!
