Chapter 531: What Happened to the Arrogance You Promised?

"Who exactly are you?" Wan Wan Fangling shouted fiercely, "Do you intend to make enemies of my Mount Jingting Mountain?!"

As she spoke, the palm gripping her halberd trembled slightly.

It was not out of fear, but out of rage!

Within this Holy Lingshan Realm, Mount Jingting Mountain was undoubtedly a great sect, a first-class existence!

The Eastern Thunder disciples were accustomed to throwing their weight around; even when encountering believers of a first-rank deity, the other party would most likely give Mount Jingting Mountain some face.

Who would have thought that today, here at the Yun Qianzhou Alliance, they would encounter a few reckless fools?

Not only did they intervene aggressively, but they even struck directly, slaughtering an Eastern Thunder disciple of the Named River Estuary Realm.

Did these straw-cloaked figures not value their lives?!

"Heh." Deng Deng Yuxiang held a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth, "This group of Sword Lotus believers belongs to me."

Wan Wan Fangling's phoenix eyes narrowed:!!!

Upon hearing these words, the group of Sword Lotus disciples, led by Island Master Pei, were instantly stunned.

Just out of the tiger's den, only to enter the wolf's mouth?

They had thought that today the deities had manifested, sending two mysterious straw-cloaked figures to intervene upon seeing injustice and draw their swords to help.

As it turned out, they too were here to take slaves?

The few Sword Lotus believers who had been kneeling on the ground felt their hearts convulse violently.

The cruelest thing in the world is to first give you hope, then tear it apart ruthlessly, granting you even deeper despair...

Indeed, this was Holy Lingshan.

With no kinship or prior connection, on what grounds would others step in to help you?

Great experts of the Sea Realm, a group of powerhouses who dominate life and death, on what grounds would they descend from their divine thrones, crouch down, and converse with you as equals?

In truth, the Sword Lotus sect was not weak.

The fourth-rank deity, Sword Lotus, bestowed upon its disciples remarkably comprehensive techniques.

Believers of this sect could attack and defend, control and support; in the mortal world, Sword Lotus believers were the mainstay of the Great Xia Guardian Legion.

However, the fifteenth night in the mortal world was, after all, humans versus evil spirits.

When the Sword Lotus believers' opponents changed to other human believers...

Did their so-called comprehensiveness devolve into "mediocrity"?

"Good, good, good, very good!" Wan Wan Fangling laughed in extreme fury, suddenly raising her halberd toward the sky.

"Crack!!"

A bolt of lightning appeared abruptly, striking the halberd with precision.

In an instant, purple electric currents, like countless tiny snakes, crawled chaotically all over Wan Wan Fangling's body.

Eastern Thunder Divine Art · Mount Jingting Form!

Her physical body was activated to a great extent by the purple electric currents, causing all her attributes to surge!

Deng Deng Yuxiang remained undaunted, gripping her broken blade and pointing it remotely at her opponent.

"Whoosh~"

Just as the two women glared fiercely at each other, a gust of sand and dust suddenly rose.

In the blink of an eye, a sandstorm swept through the mountain forest.

Western Wasteland Divine Art · Drifting Sand!

Wan Wan Fangling's complexion immediately turned ugly.

That's right, there was still a Sea Realm · Western Wasteland believer to the north!

The list of divine arts belonging to the Eastern Thunder sect held extremely high value; anyone who saw it would feel envious and red-eyed with greed.

This sect alone possessed no perception-type techniques!

The Flame Gate was precisely seizing upon your weakness to strike hard!

You cannot see, and thus cannot lock onto the enemy?

That is exactly right!

We can lock on!

Gao Gao Yunyan could perceive everything within the sand, and Deng Deng Yuxiang could determine positions by sound.

Lu Ran and Yan Yan Shuangzi, those two vicious hounds, could likewise run wild and slaughter amidst sandstorms, thick fog, or pitch-black nights.

The Flame Gate,

specialized in one thing: "Seeing the World with Closed Eyes"!

"Whoosh!"

As the sandstorm erupted, the terrain of the mountain forest also transformed, turning into a surging, flowing Liushahe.

The Liushahe rose and fell in waves, trees toppled, and upon it, people and horses were overturned.

Master Yu Fu's Divine Art · Quicksand Talisman!

"Careful!"

"Ah!" The Eastern Thunder disciples swayed, struggling desperately to keep their footing; to avoid being swallowed by the quicksand, everyone quickly started running.

"Hmm?" Deep within the forest, Yan Yan Shuangzi slightly raised her head, listening intently to something.

Her figure flashed abruptly as she suddenly swung her blade horizontally.

The divine weapon · Evil Moon Crescent Blade swept before her, leaving a pitch-black blade mark suspended in mid-air.

"Zzzt~ Zzt~"

An Eastern Thunder disciple, entangled by electric currents, fled in panic.

Located within the sandstorm, he had already lost his vision, and the churning, undulating Liushahe beneath his feet further severely restricted his escape.

To be honest, this is only possible for a Most Dongting disciple!

Even though they staggered and occasionally fell, overall, the Most Dongting believers could barely advance across the Liushahe.

If it were any other believers, they would have long been swallowed by the shifting sands!

Amidst the noisy and chaotic battlefield, this Most Dongting disciple failed to notice the crisis approaching.

He charged forward with his head down, actively colliding with the danger!

"Uh!" The Most Dongting disciple's pupils contracted sharply.

Within the thick dust, his body pierced through a half-moon arc suspended in mid-air.

The person had indeed passed through.

Yet his body had been severed at the waist!

This fixed, suspended black blade mark, with its graceful curve resembling a waning moon, was no trivial matter.

It was the genuine Divine Weapon Domain·Evil Moon!

The corpse, broken into two halves, had its cross-section stained with a bizarre black energy, causing the flesh and blood to rot rapidly.

Yan Yan Shuangzi had already vanished via teleportation, going to assassinate the next enemy.

"Ah!"

"Gather around me!" Ever since the Liushahe appeared, Island Master Pei had already shouted loudly.

This Ming Hai Jing·Sword Lotus believer immediately summoned a giant lotus; its petals rapidly contracted and closed, sheltering the surrounding Sword Lotus believers within.

Island Master Pei's heart pounded in terror, but he then discovered the situation differed from his expectations?

He had originally assumed this Shifting Sand Talisman also came from a Ming Hai Jing·Master Yu Fu disciple.

After all, the two straw-clad figures who had appeared consecutively were both from the Vast Sea.

He hadn't expected the surging Liushahe to be less terrifying than imagined, unable to break through the defense of the lotus bud.

However, this giant lotus bud was entangled by threads of fine sand, being dragged fiercely toward the underground.

Amidst the sandstorm environment, Jiangjiang Ruyi could not see the battle conditions clearly.

She had naturally "entrusted" her Divine Law, allowing the threads of fine sand stabbing out from the river to engage the enemy autonomously.

On the battlefield, it was not only the Liushahe swallowing people.

The Xi Huang Shen Fa·Western Desert Sand Sea was likewise engulfing all living beings!

The Most Dongting disciples were restricted by the Liushahe; as long as they exerted their utmost strength, they still had a chance to escape.

But if they were knocked down by the Sand Sea, they would not have even the slightest chance of survival.

There was only one outcome: buried alive!

The instigator, Gao Gao Yunyan, vigorously activated the Western Desert Sand Sea; standing atop waves of yellow sand, she raced wildly across the churning Liushahe.

Within the Liushahe, there were naturally some "blind" threads of fine sand attempting to drag Gao Gao Yunyan into the underground.

But General Yan possessed astonishing strength; who could possibly drag her?

She was like an arrogant prisoner bound by chain after chain, completely unrestricted, still running wild and swinging her axe to kill enemies.

On the battlefield, too many things were happening simultaneously.

The instant the sandstorm rose, a figure clad in white robes had already lifted a hammer and charged!

"Whoosh~"

Flames burned upon Lu Ran; holding an illusory warhammer in one hand, he instantly appeared above and behind Wan Wan Fangling.

Facts proved that the third move of the Ran Gate Blade Technique·Scintillating Star was also compatible with hammer techniques!

The Lie Huo Tian Kui, a method for killing across realms!

Let the power of Divine Lie Tian be maximized to the extreme!

The Basic Divine Law·Divine Lie Tian Hammer carries a crushing effect!

Amidst this chaos, let us slaughter a Sea Realm expert today!

Lu Ran exerted all his strength, swinging the Divine Lie Tian Hammer down with a fierce smash.

Just explode for me!!

"Crack!!" This was the sound of Wan Wan Fangling's Divine Law·Thunderous Armor and her water-flow armor shattering together.

"Boom-rumble!" This was the sound of the Divine Lie Tian Hammer smashing heavily onto the ground, blasting a large pit into the Liushahe.

Lu Ran:???

Surrounded by electric currents, Wan Wan Fangling had already darted away.

The moment Lu Ran swung his hammer down and Wan Wan Fangling started running occurred almost simultaneously.

The hammer did not strike solidly; instead, it grazed her back, then, following her body leaning forward in its sprint, the hammerhead scraped past her buttocks before finally smashing heavily into the ground!

Lu Ran acknowledged that the Most Dongting disciples possessed fast movement speeds.

But was their reaction speed also this fast?

Lu Ran had already swung the hammer before blinking, yet Wan Wan Fangling...

Actually, it truly was not that Wan Wan Fangling reacted quickly.

At the instant the sand dust rose, while Lu Ran chose to attack, Wan Wan Fangling also chose to launch a sudden assault!

A Yi Ming Hai Jing expert was certainly not a wooden stake!

It was only after Wan Wan Fangling darted away that her pupils contracted sharply, her heart nearly leaping out of her throat.

Wh-what was that?

Just now, who was attacking me?

By sheer accident, Wan Wan Fangling escaped death; she instantly changed her mind.

Without even turning her head, suppressing her terror, she struggled to weave through the churning Liushahe, fleeing in haste.

"No!" Lu Ran was utterly bewildered.

In an instant, Wan Wan Fangling had already fled far away, vanishing from the battlefield.

The Dong Ting faction. What happened to the promised arrogance and tyranny?

We bullied you like this; at least give us two halberd strikes, just to vent our anger!

Just... just ran away?

If you have no shame, then how can I kill you?

"Don't pursue!" Deng Deng Yuxiang urgently shouted.

She kept her eyes tightly shut, her brows knitted in a frown.

Just now, Deng Deng Yuxiang had even unleashed the Ye Mei Xie Fa technique, Night Wind Assault, raising a terrifying gale, all to block Wan Wan Fangling.

Yet Wan Wan Fangling, using hands and feet, rolling and crawling, instead adjusted her direction along the wind blowing from the side, fleeing even faster.

When a Ming Hai Jing disciple of the Dong Ting sect has no shame and is single-mindedly focused on escape, it is truly very difficult for anyone to hold them back!

Only a contestant capable of teleportation could attempt to intercept and stop them.

But Lu Ran and Yan Yan Shuangzi are both Jiang Jing; if even this Dong Ting female disciple touched either of them, they would easily shatter.

Deng Deng Yuxiang absolutely could not let the two of them take such a risk!

"Ahhh..."

"Spare... mmmph!!" Wails of agony never ceased; the Ye Mei blade flew back and forth stabbing, while the Sand Sea swallowed and buried the enemies alive.

Liushahe failed to stop the Ming Hai Jing cultivator Wan Wan Fangling, but it greatly restricted the group of Jiang Jing Dong Ting disciples.

"Hmph." Lu Ran let out a cold snort, turning a deaf ear to the pleas for mercy.

Collecting a few lost souls is not exactly a loss.

The Dong Ting faction truly lives up to its reputation!

The Ming Hai Jing experts of this sect are indeed very troublesome and hard to kill!

After returning, I must study the tactics again carefully.

But overall, the combat strategy of the Ran Gate is not flawed.

Wind and sand obscured their eyes; quicksand restricted their legs.

Lu Ran, wielding the Divine Lie Tian Hammer, seized the chaos to deliver the decisive blow.

"Next time, will you be so lucky?" Lu Ran's face was gloomy as he murmured to himself.
