Chapter 51: God Fallen?

Around 8:00 AM, a luxury sedan slowly drove into the Rain Alley Garden residential area.

Along the way, the vehicle was stopped multiple times by teams of Moon-Watching agents standing guard or patrolling for inspection.

Honestly, it would have been better to walk home.

"Sister, come in for a glass of water?" Lu Ran sat in the passenger seat, not in a hurry to get off.

"I still have to return to the team; there are missions." Deng Yu Xiang shook her head.

Lu Ran said: "Since dawn, our team has circled those two blocks over and over again; there are no evil spirits left."

Deng Yu Xiang smiled: "Go home, take a hot shower, and get a good sleep."

"We will report your performance on the night of the 15th truthfully."

Seeing that the Great Nightmare was determined to leave, Lu Ran didn't say anything more; after all, she was a warrior, and he was just a candidate.

"Say goodbye to Sister." Lu Ran patted the large bath towel he was holding.

A squirming motion occurred inside the bath towel, followed by a furry little head poking out.

That pair of cat eyes looked like beautiful glass beads, crystal clear.

"Meow~" The tabby cat poked its head out, rubbing against Lu Ran's palm, ignoring Deng Yu Xiang.

Lu Ran hadn't used the divine technique Sound of Compassion.

It was clear that the tabby cat was truly spiritual and knew who had saved its life.

"Get off, I still have missions." Deng Yu Xiang urged.

Lu Ran: "..."

Woman,

your name is Heartless.

Last night we were in the same boat through wind and rain, inseparable, and together we wreaked havoc on how many evil spirits?

Now that it's dawn and the evil spirits have retreated, you turn your face and don't recognize people?

Do you deserve me "mehing" all night?

"Goodbye!" Lu Ran wrapped the tabby cat up to avoid getting it wet from the rain.

He picked up the Sunset Blade, opened the door, got out of the car, turned his head, and said: "This raincoat..."

"It's yours." Deng Yu Xiang waved her hand indifferently, stepped on the gas, and drove away.

Lu Ran watched the vehicle go far away before he stepped forward and returned home.

"There, your new home."

After Lu Ran opened the door, he lifted a corner of the bath towel slightly.

"Meow~" The little tabby whimpered and darted out.

That it could have such vitality and such a healthy performance was naturally due to the attending physician, Sun Zhengfang.

A Green-Parasol believer was indeed extraordinary.

Not only could he heal the body, but he could also soothe mental trauma.

Lu Ran headed straight for the bathroom, took off his soaked clothes, and enjoyed a hot shower.

But as he was washing, a cat's cry suddenly came from outside the door, along with the sound of cat claws scratching the door.

As a stray cat, should it be this clingy?

Lu Ran couldn't help but speed up.

By the time he wiped himself clean and opened the bathroom door, the cat's cry had disappeared.

To his surprise, the little tabby hadn't left.

It was squatting quietly in front of the bathroom door, looking up with its little head, its furry tail swaying, clearly waiting for Lu Ran to come out.

"So spiritual?" Lu Ran was shocked.

He bent down to pick up the tabby, but unexpectedly, the tabby cat escaped with a "whoosh."

Lu Ran:???

Good fellow, are you fishing for me here?

Since you don't want me to hold you, why are you scratching the door?

Lu Ran had a strange expression as he went to the shrine and bowed properly: "God Xianyang, the disciple has returned."

He didn't say much, and after a simple greeting, he headed straight for his small bed.

No need to say more, three big words—see you in my dreams!

Lu Ran knew very well that the sleep he was about to have would definitely not be peaceful!

After all, last night, he had killed many evil spirits and imprisoned many souls.

This time, Lu Ran learned a lesson; before falling asleep, he first took out his phone to report safety to his sister and teammates, and then lay down on his side.

"Meow?"

Seeing that Lu Ran was sleeping, the tabby cat actually leaned over.

It jumped onto the small bed, patrolled back and forth, and finally fixed its gaze on Lu Ran's hand.

The little tabby leaned against Lu Ran's hand, rubbing its furry head against his palm, and lay down comfortably.

The little fellow slept very soundly and comfortably, while Lu Ran...

Unsurprisingly, he arrived at the evil spirit sculpture garden again.

This time, Lu Ran stood in front of the sculpture of the evil spirit: Soul-Splitting Demon.

"Whoa~!"

Lu Ran exclaimed, looking up at the huge, pitch-black evil sculpture.

This sculpture was clearly much larger than the other evil spirit sculptures.

Lu Ran was still observing carefully when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He said in a low voice: "God Xianyang."

"Performance is acceptable." Above and behind him, a huge black-fire sheep head quietly emerged.

Lu Ran was a bit distressed: "God Xianyang, I can only help out in the team, act as an alarm, or draw aggro.

I don't have any output methods."

Actually, saying this was quite conscience-pricking.

What realm was Lu Ran? Mist Realm, 4th stage!

What realm were the Moon-Watching agents? River Realm, 4th to 5th stage!

And what was the strength realm of the evil spirits invading the world?

Regardless of which aspect you considered, it was good enough that Lu Ran could play an auxiliary role; did he still want to be a strong output?

The black-fire sheep head ignored Lu Ran and continued: "23 River Realm souls, 27 Stream Realm souls, 31 Mist Realm souls.

This night, the harvest is not bad."

Lu Ran: "After all, it's the 15th of the 7th month; the quality of evil spirits is high, and the quantity is also higher."

If calculated by time, from 7:00 PM on the 15th to 3:00 AM the next day, it was a total of 8 hours.

On average, the team had to kill an evil spirit every 6 minutes or so.

It was enough to see how high the intensity of the 15th of the 7th month was!

And in the two blocks under Lu Ran's jurisdiction, the number of River Realm evil spirits was not much less than the Mist Realm and Stream Realm evil spirits!

In other months, this would be unimaginable.

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and said: "God Xianyang, is there any evil spirit sculpture that meets the activation conditions?"

"No." One word, making Lu Ran grin.

Black-fire sheep head: "Activating an evil sculpture consumes a lot of materials; calculated by Mist Realm souls, it requires about two thousand."

Lu Ran nodded.

So after he completed the summer mission, the Vicious Dog clan's statue was activated.

Black-fire sheep head: "Subsequently, for every small stage the evil sculpture improves, it requires 100 evil spirit souls of the same realm.

When breaking through a great realm, it requires even more."

"Understood!" Lu Ran turned around and looked up at the black-fire sheep head. "God Xianyang, you previously said that the Ink-Paper clan is quite powerful and difficult to control.

Why don't I endure it for a bit and activate her when I reach the River Realm?

When I reach the Stream Realm, I'll activate the Soul-Splitting Demon sculpture first, how about that?"

The black-fire sheep head was silent and didn't respond.

Lu Ran continued: "The Soul-Splitting Demon sect's evil technique can amplify my strength attribute.

The evil technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Horn is quite similar to our sect's divine technique: Immortal Horn.

Can the evil technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Hoof also be hidden in our sect's divine technique: Immortal Hoof?"

Let's not mention the former for now; that was a technique Lu Ran could only equip when he reached the Stream Realm.

Let's talk about the latter first.

Lu Ran's Immortal Hoof allowed him to shuttle freely, coming and going like the wind.

And the evil technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Hoof could cause the earth to shake and send surrounding opponents flying.

This couldn't help but make Lu Ran's mind active!

Since I have already set a precedent, letting everyone know that my divine technique: Sound of Compassion has a special version and alternative effects.

Then why don't I use this point?

Just say my divine technique: Immortal Hoof also has special effects!

Stomp your feet, and mist fills the air.

But I don't use it for shuttling, but for performing a "War Stomp"!

Claiming to the outside world that this is a special way of casting the divine technique: Immortal Hoof, but in reality...

What I am performing is not a divine technique at all, but the evil technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Hoof!

Wouldn't that be beautiful?

Black-fire sheep head: "You want an offensive technique."

"Mm." Lu Ran nodded, too embarrassed to say too much.

The Xianyang sect's offensive means were too scarce.

Or rather, the Xianyang sect's divine techniques were all used for begging for mercy, saving one's life, and escaping battle...

Black-fire sheep head: "Enhancing offensive means will put you in danger."

"Huh?" Such a theory made Lu Ran very confused. "The disciple is also throwing himself into battle now, not staying away from the battlefield?"

Black-fire sheep head: "Powerful offensive techniques will change your combat thinking and combat characteristics.

Once you have the corresponding confidence, you will make corresponding moves.

For example, before you have the evil technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Hoof, you won't rush into a pile of enemies.

But once you have the Demon Hoof..."

Lu Ran opened his mouth, and for a long time, he couldn't say a word.

Black-fire sheep head: "I have said all I can; you need to consider it carefully.

If you insist on activating the Soul-Splitting Demon evil sculpture, I won't stop you."

Lu Ran: "God Xianyang won't stop me?"

This wasn't something a god should say.

In the world, gods, one by one, occupied an absolute leadership position when communicating with believers.

Whatever the god says, the believer must listen.

What, you want to talk to me about human rights?

Brother, he/she/it is not your friend, not your master, not your superior leader, but your god!

It is the god who gives you divine techniques, helps you survive, and makes you worship devoutly day and night!

Black-fire sheep head: "I won't stop you; you should have your own ideas.

One day, I will dissipate.

You should also walk your own path..."

Lu Ran: "Huh???"

Lu Ran was completely shocked.

Are you kidding me?

A dignified god, dissipating?

"Silence!" The majestic voice made Lu Ran's head buzz.

"God Xianyang..."

"No need to worry, grow with peace of mind. That day is still very far away."
