Chapter 613: Remaining Life in the Flower Sea

The Night Charm Evil Blade slashed down.

It landed to the side of the lightning and fire domain.

In the sky in the distance, Yu Changsheng shook his paper fan lightly and nodded secretly.

The fierce battle hadn't made the young Sect Master lose his head or act impulsively; this outrageously off-target slash had already indicated the Sect Master's decision.

Yu Changsheng looked into the distance, gazing at the imperial-robed young man.

Full of admiration.

One year!

Only a year's time.

The promise Lu Ran had made by the high mountain cold-water lake had already been fulfilled many times over.

The lively little rookie of the past was now in this posture of ruling the world, carrying a hint of majestic presence in his every move.

This, of course, was partly due to the Second-Rank artifact.

But most of all, it was the growth of Lu Ran's personal strength.

Yu Changsheng wasn't sure if he had met this version of Lu Ran when they first met, would he still follow him?

Hmm... probably.

After all, Lu Ran's foundation hadn't changed.

Regarding this point, it was easy to verify; wasn't Wu Xiao at this moment the same as he was back then?

Like this kind of rotting shell, once "saved" and truly reignited with hope in his heart...

The rest of his life,

would definitely be a loyal following!

The confusion, pain, and struggle in the past years, that deep sense of suffocation of being powerless, would become the best persuader and the best internal supervisor.

Yu Changsheng knew too well the taste of grabbing the only straw to save his life.

People all thought Yu Changsheng was romantic and unrestrained.

It was an act.

It was putting on airs.

Even when someone like He Yingcai stood before him, putting down the pride of a vast sea and launching a fervent pursuit, Yu Changsheng still felt that his life journey shouldn't have side issues.

His life's focus was all on that one straw, so he would definitely neglect others and fail others.

Therefore, at this moment, Yu Changsheng very much agreed with Lu Ran's decision.

He also watched with his own eyes as the Night Charm Evil Blade slashed out a thousand-meter trench, blowing away the raging flames.

The Night Charm Evil Blade appropriately activated its second-stage output.

"Hoo!!"

On both sides of the long blade, terrifying wind waves rose.

The gale swept through, rolling dust and splashing broken stones, as if wanting to tear the world open.

The wind waves not only blew away the Fierce Fire Xiong Xiong Camp Order but also blew the Martial Student disciple away.

The crowd finally understood Lu Ran's true intention.

Opening the ultimate move,

was just to blow some wind.

In Yu Changsheng's vision, the imperial-robed young man vanished quietly.

No need to search in all directions; the next moment, in the sky hundreds of meters away, another lightning domain bloomed!

"Zzz~ Zzz~"

Lu Ran stood horizontally with his blade, and within the Jade Talisman Array coiling around him, pieces of Electric Lock Talismans exploded one after another.

Wu Xiao, who had been blown over, saw his flight momentum gradually decrease.

Until he was completely imprisoned by the electricity and suspended in the lightning domain.

Lu Ran had flames burning on his body, looking at the opponent, he suddenly stopped his movement of slashing forward.

"Hum!"

The Eight Desolations Blade was somewhat dissatisfied!

It was very familiar with Lu Ran's routine; after activating the over-level killing technique: Fierce Fire Heavenly Kui, he would throw out a phantom hammer.

But Lu Ran stopped!

The enemy was already imprisoned, yet Lu Ran stopped?

"Quiet." Lu Ran broke out in a cold sweat.

That was close!

Habit was indeed fatal.

If that hammer went down, it would be aimed at killing a Heavenly Realm powerhouse.

Even if Wu Xiao didn't die, he would lose half his life!

"Hum~" The Eight Desolations Blade vibrated aggrievedly.

The divine weapon domain was within reach; it was indeed a bit anxious.

What made the Eight Desolations Blade even more aggrieved was that the master had actually put it down and raised his left hand instead.

"Hiss!!"

A phantom white-scaled python roared and killed its way out.

River Estuary Artifact: Immortal Heaven Python!

Under the output bonus of Fierce Fire Heavenly Kui, the phantom python's damage crossed the artifact level, reaching Sea Artifact level.

"Hiss!!"

The white-scaled python opened its bloody mouth, roaring as it rushed through the dense electricity.

Under normal circumstances, the Martial Student Divine Technique: Swallow Feather Turn would bring the Martial Student believer to automatically dodge.

But at this moment, Wu Xiao couldn't move at all!

On one hand, he was imprisoned by electricity; on the other hand, above his head, beneath his feet, and in all directions, there was electricity.

He was completely wrapped in divine power fluctuations!

Where could he dodge to?

"Ah! Ahhh..." Wu Xiao screamed in pain.

The phantom python pierced through his body, shattering his water flow armor into pieces.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The flag floating behind Wu Xiao exploded again.

Sea Artifact Divine Technique: Fierce Fire Xiong Xiong Camp Order!

Lu Ran flashed backward more than three hundred meters, his eyebrows furrowed.

Martial Student disciples could have at most six flags floating behind them, two of each type.

In the previous lightning and fire domain, Wu Xiao had already consumed one flag.

Later, Wu Xiao was imprisoned by electricity and blown away; where would he have time to replenish the flags?

At this moment, Wu Xiao used the last "Fire Flag," losing the protection of the same-attribute flag, and would also suffer heavy fire damage!

It couldn't be denied that the Fierce Fire Xiong Xiong Camp Order was the flag with the fastest effect and widest coverage.

This technique was the most likely to hurt Lu Ran.

But Wu Xiao casting it without regard for the consequences...

Wasn't there also a hint of seeking death?

Flames surged, electricity ran wild.

The second lightning and fire domain appeared.

This time, Lu Ran heard an ear-piercing shattering sound from within the lightning and fire.

Wu Xiao's water flow armor shattered?

Lu Ran felt his heart tighten, even letting go of the Eight Desolations Blade, and hurriedly reached forward with both hands.

"Hoo!!"

Night Charm Evil Technique: Night Wind Attack!

The gale opened the way, and Lu Ran flew straight into the domain.

Far away, Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly.

She naturally wanted to see Lu Ran gain an incomparably powerful combat force, but the premise must be that Lu Ran guaranteed his own safety.

It was just that now, it was too late to stop him.

Telepathy would only disturb his thoughts.

Jiang Ruyi put her hands together, her fingertips against her lips, watching the lightning and fire intersecting area nervously.

Inadvertently, she returned to the little Ruyi from the Mist Realm and Stream Realm days, praying for his safe return.

This was a Divine Technique: Fierce Fire Xiong Xiong Camp Order released by a Sea Realm peak powerhouse!

Others would dodge it, others wouldn't survive it, yet Lu Ran was rushing into it?!

"You better be worth it..." Jiang Ruyi muttered in her heart.

Wu Xiao,

You better be worth him doing this.

"Hoo!!"

Lu Ran submerged himself into the lightning and fire domain; not long after, on the other side of the domain, a figure covered in char was blown out.

【Evil Shadow Flash!】

【Teleport!】

【The enemy is flying out!】 Several telepathic messages entered Lu Ran's mind at the same time, anxious and concerned.

In an instant, Lu Ran appeared in the high sky.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't the imperial-robed young man.

But a figure in a large red dress, enchanting and sexy.

Sea Artifact Evil Technique: Thread-Pulling Dress!

Suddenly, the beautiful dress, woven with endless red threads and thickly stacked, dissipated quietly.

The majestic and noble imperial-robed young man came back online.

One-click outfit change!

Jiang Ruyi laughed dumbly, and the heart that had been hanging was finally put down.

Lu Ran wearing a red dress, hmm... quite beautiful?

Lu Ran vanished again, and a crisp sound came from the sky further away.

"Ding!"

Lu Ran appeared on Wu Xiao's backward-flying path, slashing down fiercely with his blade!

The Eight Desolations Blade slashed straight at the Black Iron Spear.

The divine weapon spear couldn't react in time, and the heavily injured Wu Xiao was even less able to grip the long spear tightly.

In an instant, man and weapon were separated.

The divine weapon sword at Wu Xiao's waist instinctively wanted to resist, but found that the imperial-robed young man had already left.

Heading straight for the divine weapon: Black Iron Spear!

The divine weapon sword secretly rejoiced.

Rejoicing that the imperial-robed young man's target wasn't its master.

It had been accompanying its master all along, heard all the conversations during the battle, and deduced the imperial-robed young man's meaning.

"Swish~"

The divine weapon sword flew out, pressing its blade against its master's back, slowing Wu Xiao's backward-flying momentum, and slowly falling downward.

And on the other side, Lu Ran had a black cloud rising beneath his feet, lunging straight at the Black Iron Spear with his blade!

"Hum!"

"Hum!!" Both divine weapons vibrated violently.

First-Rank Divine Weapon: Eight Desolations Total Annihilation Blade was murderous and determined to win!

Second-Rank Divine Weapon: Black Iron Annihilation Spear was filled with grief and indignation, fighting to the death!

The variable,

Was in the divine weapon's master!

On the Eight Desolations Blade body, a long blade mark was dragged out.

Night Charm Evil Technique: Night Shadow Charm Mark!

Sea Artifact blade mark, the length reached 8 meters.

That infinitely sharp blade mark, wherever it passed, carried a terrifying sound of breaking air, as if wanting to tear a hole in this world.

The Black Iron Spear hovered steadily, trying to rise.

The imperial-robed young man rode the clouds and mist, flashing past with the Eight Desolations Blade.

"Crack!!"

Fierce Heaven Power, Night Shadow Charm Mark.

Lu Ran gave the Eight Desolations Blade the qualification to slash everything, the blade edge precisely slashing in from the spear tip, sliding across the long spear shaft, until the end.

The Black Iron Spear, from beginning to end, was forcibly split open...

"Hum!!"

The Eight Desolations Blade vibrated violently, and terrifying energy spread out.

Lu Ran's figure stopped, turning to look at the direction where Wu Xiao fell, telepathically: 【Keep it well.】

【Yes!】 Yan Shuangzi responded, flashing, and gathered the split Black Iron Spear into her arms.

Lu Ran, carrying the buzzing Eight Desolations Blade, flew toward Wu Xiao.

There was no war fire there.

Flowers were still in full bloom.

In the beautiful flower bushes, Wu Xiao's body was scorched, his flesh damaged, lying there quietly, breathing weakly.

As strong as a Sea Realm body, without the protection of water flow armor, it was still difficult to resist the output of Sea Artifact Divine Techniques.

"Master! No..."

The anxious shout came from the side.

Lu Ran turned his head to look, only to see the blood-red warhorse's body dissipate, and a woman in a red dress landed in the flower bushes.

Liuhuo didn't attack; she knew very well that she couldn't hurt the other party in the slightest.

She just kept begging, holding the side of her dress, running anxiously.

Lu Ran looked at the woman silently.

Sure enough, she was a woman as beautiful as a pomegranate flower.

Her red dress wasn't ancient, but purely modern style, like a luxurious evening gown.

The flower sea was colorful, with ten thousand purples and a thousand reds.

Yet they couldn't compare to the woman's tear-reddened eye sockets.

Under the hazy sky,

Liuhuo was like a pomegranate flower in full bloom, red and fiery.

Lighting up the dim world.

And rushing toward an unknown ending without regard for her own safety.

"Please, Master! Spare his life, I'll listen to everything you say, I'll be a cow or a horse for you, I..."

Liuhuo knelt at the imperial-robed young man's feet, blocking in front of Wu Xiao, begging continuously.

Divine power suddenly surged around the young man's hand, making Liuhuo's crying voice tremble even more.

"Here."

Unexpectedly, a black fish radiating thick vitality was sent down.

Liuhuo's words stopped, tears streaming down her face, looking up at the imperial-robed young man.

"Return-to-Life Carp." Lu Ran's tone was very gentle.

"Thank, thank you, Master!" Liuhuo had a moment of dullness, then was both surprised and happy.

She held the little fish with trembling hands and turned to send it to the young man lying on the ground.

"Puff~"

Sea Artifact: Return-to-Life Carp was pressed against Wu Xiao's shattered chest.

The damaged flesh, the scorched body, were healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing fresh, white skin.

"Xiao-ge?" Liuhuo knelt beside Wu Xiao, calling out cautiously, "Xiao-ge?"

Wu Xiao's eyes were empty, as if looking at this beautiful, crying face in front of him.

Or as if... he didn't care at all.

"Here." Another little fish was sent beside Liuhuo.

Giving this panicked woman another glimmer of hope.

A bit of luxury.

"Thank you, thank you..." Liuhuo kept muttering, holding the Return-to-Life Carp, hurriedly placing it on Wu Xiao's face.

At this moment, she no longer had the ability to think.

She was also human; the moment her hand touched the Return-to-Life Carp, the fish should have shattered, healing her body.

But two consecutive Return-to-Life Carps had passed through her hands, healing the man in the flower bushes.

"Puff!"

Lu Ran cast the spell silently, looking at Wu Xiao, who had no will to survive.

The Return-to-Life Carp shattered quietly, turning into endless energy, surging into the shattered human body.

The little fish was not only repairing the flesh.

It was also giving this shell of a body surging vitality.

"Hoo~"

The breeze blew gently, the flower sea swayed.

In the world, it seemed as if only this body was motionless.

No reaction at all.

"Xiao-ge..." Liuhuo wiped her wet eye sockets with the back of her hand, once, twice, calling Wu Xiao's name tirelessly.

Jiang Ruyi led the team to land.

Listening to Liuhuo's sorrowful calling, even someone as cold as Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but reach out and gently hold Lu Ran's arm.

"Pop~"

A pale golden fish flew out from Yu Changsheng's hand and fell into Wu Xiao's body.

But the person lying in the flower bushes still had no movement.

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep.

Nor can you save a person who is seeking death.

"You once asked me what kind of believer I was." Lu Ran's voice came.

Liuhuo hurriedly stopped her crying, but couldn't stop sobbing.

"Now, have you found the answer?" Lu Ran took a step forward and knelt on one knee, "I have cast so many Divine Techniques and Evil Techniques; what kind of believer am I?

Am I a believer?"

Wu Xiao's gaze was still unfocused, but his eyes finally moved.

"To you, I am no believer." Lu Ran's palm fell on Wu Xiao's face, black fire permeating his palm, staining Wu Xiao's body.

Through his fingers, Lu Ran looked into Wu Xiao's eyes: "I am the God you should truly revere for the rest of your life.

I am the person who is going to take you to slaughter all the Gods and Demons in the heavens."

Four thousand words, asking for some monthly tickets.

Wu Xiao's gaze remained unfocused, but his eyes finally moved.

"To you, I am not some believer." Lu Ran's palm landed on Wu Xiao's face, black fire filling his palm, staining Wu Xiao's body.

Through his fingers, Lu Ran looked at Wu Xiao's eyes: "I am the god you should truly worship for the rest of your life.

I am the person who will take you to slaughter all the gods and demons in the sky."

Four thousand words, asking for some monthly tickets.
