Chapter 484: Make Your Move!

Yu Seeing Yu Changsheng and Bai Yan returned, constantly researching battle plans and occasionally consulting Lu Ran for guidance.

Time ticked by second after second.

Lu Ran's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he shook his head slightly.

Deng Deng Yuxiang immediately stopped her movements, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a soft voice, "Done?"

"Mm-hmm!" Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, immediately closed his eyes, and mentally connected with the Yu Fu Divine Statue.

"Shh." Yu Seeing Yu Changsheng decisively fell silent and promptly signaled Bai Yan to do the same.

The council hall fell into complete silence, as everyone feared disturbing Lu Ran.

A few minutes later, Lu Ran slowly raised his hand, tracing something in mid-air with his fingertips.

A strange lightning rune was drawn, resembling a twisted little lightning snake, while a phantom white jade tablet appeared to bear the rune upon it.

Yu Fu Shen Fa: Lightning Shackling Rune!

After this technique advanced to the Jiang Realm, the white jade tablets summoned by Lu Ran no longer had to travel in straight lines or strike only where thrown.

The Lightning Shackling Rune moved at will, rotating slowly around his palm under Lu Ran's control.

Nearby, Si Si Xianxian's eyes sparkled brightly.

She knew clearly in her heart that this Yu Fu Divine Statue was prepared specifically for Jiangjiang Ruyi!

"Hoo~"

Suddenly, eight white jade tablets radiated outward from within Lu Ran's body.

When casting the River-Rank Yu Fu Great Formation, Yu Fu disciples would have four white jade tablets circling their waists, granting the caster the ability to fly.

As for the Jiang-Rank Yu Fu Great Formation, it added another four white jade tablets.

This comprehensively enhanced the output, defense, and other capabilities of the Yu Fu disciples.

"Ha!" Lu Ran was filled with joy, his wishes fulfilled.

With the Jiang-Rank Yu Fu Great Formation, he could now absorb the Lightning Shackling Runes, Exploding Flame Runes, Quicksand Runes, and Frost Runes cast by other Jiang-Rank Yu Fu believers!

We were all taught by the same master; you can't break these moves~

Lu Ran's mind was very active.

You lot cannot harm this Seat!

This Seat possesses myriad techniques capable of slaughtering you all!

Alas, what a pity; neither he nor the Yu Fu Divine Statue had reached the Sea Realm, making it impossible to cast the Sea-Rank Yu Fu Great Formation.

Otherwise, Lu Ran would dare to step right onto Luo Luo Tiantu and Lady Kong's faces to slaughter them at will!

It is worth mentioning that as a Tier-3 God, the sect possessed a Jiang-Rank ultimate move: the Furious Thunder Burning Fire Formation!

This technique could summon thick black clouds, cause lightning to strike down from the sky, make the earth tremble, and erupt with pillars of fierce fire.

Precisely because of this technique's existence, Yu Fu disciples were known as "late-game players."

The Divine Art: Furious Thunder Burning Fire Formation was practically synonymous with "world-destroying"!

Once Yu Fu disciples activated this technique, any living being within the formation's range

would be killed without mercy!

The flaws of this technique were also obvious: it had a certain casting wind-up time, making it difficult to execute smoothly if interrupted; furthermore, such large-area damage did not distinguish between friend and foe.

Therefore, it was very rare to see Yu Fu believers casting their Jiang-Rank ultimate move within human cities.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your further improvement in strength," Yu Seeing Yu Changsheng offered his timely congratulations.

"Hehe~" Lu Ran smiled.

Si Si Xianxian was extremely excited, her clever little brain spinning: "Could you first activate the Furious Thunder Burning Fire Formation, and once ready, use a Shadow Flash to dive straight into the enemy camp?"

Lu Ran:???

Bai Yan:???

The reason the Furious Thunder Burning Fire Formation had a certain casting wind-up time was to prepare for "Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire."

You had just established a connection with this heaven and earth, preparing to launch an attack, yet you teleport away, hoping to summon heavenly thunder and earthly fire in another location?

Was this not like carving a mark on a moving boat to find a lost sword?

Lu Ran was bewildered by Si Si Xianxian's wild imagination.

Bai Yan was bewildered because he lacked eyes, and the Curse Master sect possessed no perception-type techniques, so he did not know what had happened.

This single sentence from Si Si Xianxian simply contained an explosive amount of information!

Casting the Yu Fu Sect's Furious Thunder Burning Fire Formation in combination with the Evil Dog Clan's Shadow Flash?

This...?

Wasn't Sect Master Lu a believer of Xiang Xiang Xianyang?

How had his techniques become such a mixed bag?

Bai Yan's face remained as calm as a still lake, showing no emotion outwardly, yet a huge storm raged within his heart.

Just now, he had indeed heard the faint sound of electric current.

Could it be that Sect Master Lu...

"You really dare to dream big," Lu Ran muttered, and eight golden jade stone talismans radiated outward from within his body once more.

The River-Rank Eight Jin Yu Talismans could only attack enemies autonomously; the caster could not intervene.

After reaching the Jiang Realm, the caster could freely control the golden jade stone talismans.

Thinking back, when Lu Ran had secretly returned to Lady Luo Sister Xian's mountain intending to ambush Jiangjiang Xianzi, she had pinned him down with a pile of golden jade stone talismans, humiliatingly clamping him up into the sky...

The Jiang-Rank Jin Yu Stone Talismans could even change size, transforming from their original palm-size into golden jade shields measuring one meter in specification.

Their defensive power was quite remarkable!

"Here." With a thought, Lu Ran sent an exquisite golden jade tablet flying to hover before Si Si Xianxian's face. "Go play with it."

Si Si Xianxian tilted her head, her face full of question marks.

Damn it! You're despising me again!

I f*cking&…%￥!!

Lu Ran gently flicked his fingers, continuously manipulating the jade tablets to dance up and down, increasing his technique proficiency: "Mr. Long and Bai Lao, please continue."

Si Si Xianxian was just about to explode in anger, but hearing Lu Ran wanted to discuss serious matters, she had to suppress her fury.

"Hmph!" She gripped the golden jade tablet resentfully; so you want to play games with me, huh?

Fine, let's play!

"Crack!" A sound of shattering rang out!

Lu Ran jumped with a start.

Si Si Xianxian crushed the golden jade tablet with bare hands, grinding it viciously in her palm as if trying to reduce it to powder.

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed once.

Luckily he hadn't let her press on his head just now; no matter how hard his skull was, it certainly wasn't as hard as a golden jade talisman!

The Divine Art·Power of Lie Tian was truly no joke.

Since the third day of the seventh lunar month, the members of the Ran Sect had taken over the magpie's nest, settling down here on Luo Tiantu Mountain.

For this mission, Lu Ran had brought his four great Dharma Protectores, plus one Luoshen General.

With Yu Seeing Yu Changsheng and Bai Yan offering strategies, Lu Ran quickly finalized the ambush plan, and everyone received their assigned tasks.

In just two short days, Lu Ran had familiarized himself with the surroundings of Luo Tiantu Mountain and carefully selected multiple ambush locations.

The group could not ambush on the mountain itself, after all, there ought to be guards stationed at the foot of Luo Tiantu Mountain.

Once Luo Luo Tiantu approached the foothill area and saw no guards coming to welcome them, their presence would naturally be exposed.

What no one expected was that this wait would last for over ten days.

As the saying goes: On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the Yin Gate opens, and demons and evil spirits come on their own!

Within the territory of the Holy Spirit Mountain, there was no such notion of evil spirits invading every fifteenth day, but for Luo Luo Tiantu and the others,

The "demons and evil spirits" led by Lu Ran had indeed arrived uninvited!

That night, the bright moon hung high.

Lu Ran stood atop the peak of Luo Tiantu Mountain, silently cultivating while scanning the night scenery.

"They should be coming by now? It's already night," Lu Ran murmured.

Today, he was exceptionally diligent in his guard duty.

Because at dawn, the Mantra Believer·Bai Yan had clearly told Lu Ran that something might happen today.

What could possibly happen?

It must be that Luo Luo Tiantu was leading his team back to the mountain!

To be honest, having a Mantra Believer in the team was simply too much of a bug!

Bai Lao could not predict the future, but he could sound the alarm!

Lu Ran had specifically asked Bai Lao about the outcome of this Ran Sect ambush on Luo Luo Tiantu.

Bai Yan merely smiled without speaking, uttering four words: "It depends on human effort."

Hearing this, Lu Ran nearly lost his composure.

You, a believer in fate and player of metaphysics, are talking to me about subjective initiative?

Regardless, Lu Ran performed his guard duty with great seriousness; those pitch-black pupils pierced through the vast night, taking in everything within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Lu Ran's eyes narrowed!

In the distant western forest, atop the treetops, a faint human figure could be seen flying.

Lu Ran exerted his vision to the limit and saw that this person was surrounded by swirling jade tablets.

A Master Yu Fu Believer!

Lu Ran licked his lips; barring the unexpected, this must be a scout scouting ahead.

Lu Ran immediately transmitted a voice message in his mind: 【Luo Luo Tiantu is leading his team from the west; everyone, gather in the council hall!】

【Yes!】

【Affirmative.】 Several voice messages flooded into his mind simultaneously as Lu Ran flashed away.

The members of the Ran Sect immediately sprang into action; Lu Ran consecutively unleashed the Xie Fa·Mirror Flower Moon, and in just a few dozen seconds, everyone arrived at the ambush location, waiting for the rabbit to strike the stump.

【Nightmare, rein in your killing intent!】 Lu Ran, hidden in a large tree, frowned slightly as he looked toward a giant tree not far away.

Deng Deng Yuxiang slowly exhaled, trying to steady her emotions.

But thinking of the humiliation of the past and the revenge of today, her killing intent could not help but boil over!

"Whoosh~"

Hundreds of meters away, the scout sped past.

【Nobody move!】 Lu Ran's gaze swept through the gaps in the branches as he waited patiently.

Sure enough, the main force followed closely behind!

【Get ready!】 Lu Ran transmitted mentally, his body tensing up.

Luo Luo Tiantu maintained quite a spectacle, flying side by side with his Lady, while the rest of the stronghold members swarmed around them.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes, spotting a man and a woman walking on the ground, each holding a halberd.

Presumably, these were the bodyguards Luo Luo Tiantu had hired from Mount Jingting Mountain.

Most Dongting disciples, specializing in killing vicious dogs?

Heh,

Lu Ran let out a cold snort in his heart; raging flames ignited on his body, and with a casual grab, he seized a hammer of fire.

Divine Art·Divine Lie Tian Hammer!

Divine Art·Lie Huo Liehuo Liehuo Tiankui!

【Attack!!】 At Lu Ran's command, he exerted all his strength, lifted the heavy hammer, and swung it fiercely forward!

At the same time, his figure suddenly flickered away.

Target—directly above Luo Luo Tiantu's head!

Within the mountain forest, beside a giant tree.

Luo Luo Tiantu was chatting and laughing with Lady Kong when he suddenly felt a wave of heat envelop the area above his head.

"What..." Luo Luo Tiantu had no time to react; instinctively, he manipulated the Bai Yu stone tablets circling his body to block upward.

"Crack!!"

A flaming war hammer, blazing with Xiong Xiong fire, smashed down heavily, striking a Bai Yu stone tablet wrapped in frost.

The stone tablet shattered, and thick frost spread outward.

"Just explode for me!!" Lu Ran roared in his heart.

"Boom-boom-boom!!"

The flaming war hammer rumbled loudly; bolstered by Lie Huo Liehuo Liehuo Tiankui, the exploding hammer even sent up a small mushroom cloud!

In an instant, the team was thrown into chaos, everyone blown flying backward.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

"Careful..."

A dull "Thump!" rang out!

"Damn it!" Luo Luo Tiantu's face turned iron-green as the blast wave struck him, sending him crashing heavily to the ground.

What a miserable sight he made.

From start to finish, he had not seen who the ambusher was!

Did the attacker arrive without a trace and leave without a shadow, dropping a hammer from above before vanishing immediately?

A believer of Divine Lie Tian?

But then, how did a believer of Divine Lie Tian vanish?

Luo Luo Tiantu could not figure it out; before he could react further, his body suddenly stiffened!

His temples throbbed wildly; he felt an extremely terrifying energy emanating simultaneously from both his left and right sides.

"Roar!!"

A giant dragon roared, transforming into endless lesser dragons, charging forth madly.

Ashayi Sect Zun Hai Jing ultimate move·Ten Thousand Dragons Suppressing the Sea Arrow!

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Terrifying sounds of tearing through the air spread all the way, heading straight for everyone's location.

Countless long blade marks appeared out of thin air, dense and numerous, as if intending to tear apart everything in the world!

Night Charm Clan Zun Hai Jing ultimate move·Night Shadow Thousand Cuts!

Luo Luo Tiantu's pupils contracted violently!

More than anger, what filled his heart was fear.

Two... two Zun Hai Jing experts?

How could there also be Xie Fa? Were humans mixing with demonic creatures?

How was this possible?!

When had he ever offended such a powerful organization?
