Chapter 555

The fog grew thicker.

The murderous intent grew stronger!

Lu Ran held his divine weapon and flew straight toward the north.

"Lu Ran?" He Qi Feng's heart tightened, and she hurriedly shouted, "You—"

In the thick white fog, He Qi Feng could see nothing; she could only understand the general situation within a radius of one hundred meters with the assistance of the artifact, the Wind Barrier Orb.

And the Wind Barrier Orb told her that Lu Ran hadn't even looked back, carrying his divine weapon as he flew away rapidly.

Judging by the direction, Lu Ran must have gone to hunt down Lu Zongzhu Lu and the Third Lady Lu?

In this special environment, those who possess divine weapons and artifacts indeed have a massive advantage.

Believers who possess perception-type techniques are, after all, a tiny minority.

This means that those who possess divine weapons and artifacts have essentially cheated, lighting up the map within a hundred-meter radius.

Others have become blind, reduced to lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The problem is...

You, Lu Ran, possess divine weapons and artifacts, but Lu Zongzhu Lu and the Third Lady also possess divine weapons and artifacts!

You are merely a River Estuary Realm, Fourth Stage, while the opponent is at the very peak of the Sea Realm!

How can you fight this?

He Qi Feng did believe in Lu Ran's close-combat skills; they were forged in one "Heaven's Pride" battle after another, witnessed by hundreds of millions of people.

But no matter how strong you are, you are still just a disciple of the Immortal Sheep.

The opponent is a believer under the Second-Class God, the Dongting Gate; they have offense, defense, and crowd control, and their close-combat divine technique configuration is maxed out!

You are going alone to hunt down two vast seas; this...

Is this appropriate?

"Lu Ran, wait for me!" He Qi Feng's thoughts raced, and she flew up holding the Wind Barrier Orb.

If the two sides were in different battle groups and she didn't know the situation, that would be one thing.

But since both were on the same battlefield, how could she rest easy letting Lu Ran face danger alone?

"Whoosh~"

While flying, He Qi Feng's energy surged.

She suddenly sprouted three heads and six arms, with two golden bodies appearing on her back to the left and right.

Both golden bodies bore her appearance, yet were far more majestic and solemn than she was!

Wu Seng Divine Technique: Three Angry-Eyed Bodies!

She drew her sword from her waist and handed it along with the Wind Barrier Orb to the body on the back left, while the body on the back right clasped its hands together; accompanied by a surge of energy, a bronze-colored long staff quietly emerged.

He Qi Feng's main body summoned her divine weapon, the Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff.

This staff was originally a divine weapon embryo, gifted by family elders before He Qi Feng entered the mountains, and she had been nurturing it for many years.

But what truly allowed the Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff to complete its transformation was He Qi Feng's governance of the Forbidden City.

That city, or rather, He Qi Feng's career and ideals, brought her so, so much.

It allowed her entire being to be sublimated.

Because of that city, He Qi Feng rose magnificently to the Sea Realm.

It was also because of that city, when He Qi Feng, harboring kindness and compassion, widely accepted groups of refugees, that the Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff finally found a glimmer of opportunity and stepped into the ranks of divine weapons.

According to He Qi Feng, the Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff specializes in two words—Compassion!

"Clap!"

The Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff flew out from He Qi Feng's residence, traveled through the air, and was gripped firmly in her hand.

"I know you don't like fighting, but the situation is as it is; I'm sorry to trouble you." He Qi Feng transmitted her thoughts.

"Hum~"

The Nine-Ring Golden Zen Staff trembled slightly, carrying its master toward the north.

"Boom!"

The sudden, violent sound of an explosion made He Qi Feng knit her brows tightly.

The explosion came from behind and below; it should be on the lake surface.

Yet, no matter how hard He Qi Feng racked her brain, she still couldn't determine what divine technique that was.

Such a violent explosion...

Could it be Jiang Ruyi's Jade Talisman Divine Technique: Explosive Flame Talisman?

The perception radius of divine weapons and artifacts is one hundred meters; the range is neither large nor small.

He Qi Feng hadn't found Lu Ran yet when she heard Lu Xiao's angry roar from afar:

"You little bastard! What kind of believer are you, damn it?"

"Old thing." Lu Ran cursed inwardly, keeping his eyes tightly shut, listening intently.

Lu Xiao and the Third Lady Lu were both flying north; if this continued, they would fly out of the fog range.

How could that be allowed?

"Swish~"

Lu Ran's figure flashed, appearing directly in the high sky further north of Lu Xiao.

Flames burned fiercely on his body; although he held a blade in his hand, he slashed out hammer shadows one after another.

Such a scene seemed very unreasonable.

But the remote-output divine technique of the Lietian faction, "Bursting Firmament," is an independent technique that requires no prerequisites.

Previously, Lu Ran often held the Lietian Hammer and threw out hammer shadows because the basic divine technique, Lietian Hammer, itself possessed a powerful crushing effect, and Lu Ran was always prepared for close combat to give the opponent a heavy hammer blow.

But at this moment, Lu Ran had no intention of engaging in close combat with the opponent!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The fiercely burning hammer shadows spun and flew rapidly, bombarding Lu Xiao's position.

Lu Xiao was both shocked and furious!

Damn it!

Where did this little bastard get so many techniques?

What on earth is going on?

The thick fog obscured the vision of all living beings, and also allowed someone to completely shed their disguise.

Lu Xiao had two divine weapons and one artifact on his body, so he could naturally perceive the danger.

He dodged repeatedly, and finally simply plummeted toward the ground.

A Dongting disciple stepping on the earth is truly like "a fish leaping in the vast sea"; no one can keep up with their speed.

"Running?" Lu Ran snorted coldly, and eight white jade tablets suddenly spread out from his body.

Jade Talisman Divine Technique: Jade Talisman Array!

Accompanied by two sounds of breaking through the air, two white jade stone talismans wrapped in fine sand traveled rapidly and landed.

In an instant, the earth churned, and the Liushahe reappeared in the world.

Lu Xiao's face was full of disbelief!

He couldn't see anything, so the feedback from his divine weapon, the Son of Heaven Sword, left Lu Xiao completely bewildered!

This... this, this, this?

The Third Lady Lu followed Lu Xiao closely; whether it was the divine weapon halberd in her hand or the artifact sachet worn at her waist, it told her this unbelievable news.

For a moment, a massive storm surged in the Third Lady Lu's heart.

She had roamed the Holy Spirit Mountain for over a decade and lived for more than thirty years; where had she ever seen a god-like figure like Lu Ran?

Beyond the shock, the thought that had already taken root and sprouted in the Third Lady Lu's heart grew even more vigorously.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Countless sand whips rose high, lashing out at the human race dodging in the air.

Lu Xiao immediately flew diagonally upward; logically speaking, a Sea Realm expert could also pass through the River-grade Liushahe at will.

But at this moment, Lu Xiao had been completely shocked by Lu Ran!

This young Master of the Ran Sect...

Was too bizarre!

Lu Xiao's first thought was naturally to stay away from danger; he certainly wouldn't plummet into the Liushahe.

"Humph." Lu Ran's face was gloomy; you think you can run?

Regarding Lu Zongzhu Lu, Lu Ran gave him enough respect.

He could despise his enemies, but in the specific details of battle, he had to take this powerful Jingtingshan Lu Zongzhu seriously!

If it were any other enemy, Lu Ran would probably have already teleported close and smashed his hammer into their face.

Lu Zongzhu Lu was different!

He had many treasures by his side and many eyes and ears.

When Lu Ran previously killed the First Lady, the Blood Moon Hall Master, and others, they were all able to turn around, wield their halberds, and make various counterattacks in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xiao could only react faster!

Lu Ran was even clearer in his heart:

The Second-Class Divine Weapon in Lu Xiao's hand, the Purple Thunder Wild Dragon Halberd, only needed a simple strike to tear open his defense.

Not to mention, Lu Zongzhu Lu also had an artifact, the Blood Jade Ring!

It is said that this artifact can amplify the master's strength!

In front of Lu Xiao, Lu Ran would be killed in one blow; if the opponent had the Blood Jade Ring to help, Lu Ran would simply be a porcelain doll...

Shattering at a single touch.

This battle,

Should be fought remotely!

Lu Ran's train of thought was quite clear; this extremely special, extremely powerful vast sea should be kited by him.

Kited to death!

He pointed his blade forward, and in the Jade Talisman Array, two Frost Talismans flew rapidly toward Lu Xiao.

"Clap!"

"Puff~" The Frost Talismans broke one after another at Lu Xiao's side, cold frost permeating and coating his body.

"Little bastard! You..."

Lu Xiao used a roar to cover up the fear in his heart.

Lu Ran didn't use the Electric Lock Talisman because Dongting disciples are naturally players of electricity and have great resistance to lightning techniques.

The most critical point was that Lu Ran only knew River-grade divine techniques, while Lu Xiao was a Sea Realm expert!

A natural disadvantage!

Disadvantage?

Then today, this seat will let the peak Sea Realm, Lu Zongzhu Lu, feel it well...

How you were played to death by me!

"Whoosh~" Four pitch-black lines shot out from the blade Lu Ran pointed forward.

Evil Spear Emperor Evil Technique: Evil Cloud Entanglement!

Even if it was River-grade, the black fog lines could penetrate the enemy's body and continuously interfere with the operation of divine power within the enemy.

The Dongting faction has no purification, so they deserve to be beaten!

"Drink!!" Lu Xiao let out a sharp shout, a battle roar.

In an instant, the body of the Third Lady Lu, who was closer, stiffened.

One hundred meters away, Lu Ran's face was very ugly.

Why are you roaring so loudly?

He suddenly threw out a blade flower, and two hammer shadows flew forward rapidly.

Lu Xiao dodged back and forth, suddenly flying backward rapidly.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

A series of Night Charm Blades swept past Lu Xiao.

The Great Nightmare has arrived!

Lu Xiao dodged the Night Charm Blades, but the Third Lady Lu on the side was repeatedly stabbed by the blades.

In a dizzy state, the Third Lady's two sets of armor were very unstable.

Amidst a series of crisp sounds, the Jingtian Armor shattered with a bang.

"Ah?!" The Third Lady Lu finally came to her senses; her extremely high strength realm saved her life!

Supporting her still dizzy brain, the Third Lady hurriedly held her halberd and retreated, repeatedly batting away the Night Charm Blades.

A trace of venom also flashed in her eyes.

Lu Xiao...

You truly deserve to die!

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a giant golden dragon whistled over, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws!

Wu Seng Divine Technique: Dragon Riding the Clouds!

He Qi Feng arrived rapidly holding her divine weapon, her face unprecedentedly serious: "Lu Ran, there are too many things here that shouldn't belong on this battlefield.

You don't need to pretend anymore.

After this battle, give me an explanation."

"Roar!"

"Roar!!" He Qi Feng didn't give Lu Ran a chance to respond; while speaking, she kicked continuously, kicking out one giant golden dragon after another.

Lu Ran: "..."

Regardless of whether he canceled the Blazing Sky Heavenly Kui or the Jade Talisman Array, at this very moment, the frost permeating the field, the Evil Cloud Entanglement still hunting the enemy, and the rapidly flying Night Charm Blades shouldn't be here!

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Lu Xiao's angry roar shook the clouds!

Without small techniques for remote output, he could only be passively beaten and dodge in a panic.

The shame and indignation in his heart had reached the extreme.

"A bunch of dog bastards, ah ah!" Lu Xiao flew up and down, dodging the fierce golden dragon impact, and frantically swung his Fangtian Painted Halberd, batting away the flying Night Charm Blades.

He was quite decisive, flying rapidly diagonally upward, risking being stabbed directly by several Night Charm Blades just to escape his predicament.

Crisp sounds came one after another; sure enough, there were Night Charm Blades that struck his chest directly, only to bounce away.

"Fine!" Lu Ran responded in a deep voice, his figure flashing suddenly.

Then I won't pretend anymore!

When Lu Ran's second sentence came, he had already changed his position, blocking Lu Xiao dozens of meters directly in front:

"Wait for me to explain to you!"

"Whoosh~"

The Master of the Ran Sect had a gloomy face, twirling a sharp blade flower, and the burning hammer shadows that came rapidly told Lu Xiao a message:

Today,

You cannot leave!

Lu Xiao:!!!

He Qi Feng:!!!

First day of the month, asking you brothers for monthly ticket support~
