Chapter 744

"Oh?" Lu Ran's heart stirred.

He was worried about how to start, and now that a skull had emerged from that blood pool, could it be lured over?

Arriving here for the first time, Lu Ran naturally wanted to act cautiously, luring the enemy out for a one-on-one fight, rather than rashly killing his way into this mountain area filled with blood pools.

Pondering for a moment, he immediately canceled his invisibility.

In an instant, Lu Ran noticed that he had been locked onto by a gaze.

But it wasn't the one he was looking at, but...

"Whew!"

Lu Ran's heart tightened; sensing the energy fluctuations behind him, he subconsciously flashed away.

When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away.

Lu Ran looked up and saw a blood-colored figure standing on the edge of the cliff where he had once stood.

He looked like a tall young man, with thick blood flowing all over his body.

His face was particularly fierce, with red hair and red eyes, and even his skin was blood-red.

He also wore a small blood-colored skull necklace around his neck, was shirtless, wearing tattered shorts, and in his naturally hanging hands, he held a slender blood blade in each.

The leader of the Great Xia demons, Blood Skull!

"Uh." Lu Ran couldn't help but shiver.

The Blood Skull on the edge of the cliff turned its head abruptly, a pair of blood pupils staring fixedly at Lu Ran; that sinister gaze made people's hair stand on end.

This...

Blood what skull?

It's purely a blood Asura, a ghost Yaksha!

You know, Lu Ran's strength realm was at the third stage of the Sea Realm, and under the gaze of this terrifying look, his heart twitched violently.

Is this clan actually this strong?

This momentum... is it the high stage of the Sea Realm? A small stage higher than me!

I was clearly on the edge of the Blood Pool area, and just by casually luring one, it was a Sea Realm great demon?

"Mm?" Lu Ran's eyes narrowed.

The Blood Skull suddenly disappeared, leaving only a blood-colored residual shadow in place.

But even as a residual shadow, those sinister red pupils were still staring fixedly at Lu Ran.

Anyone with a weaker strength realm would probably be trembling and panicked under the lock of these eyes.

And such a terrifying scene, in Lu Ran's eyes, was perfect!

If there were no accidents, when he teleports in the future, he could also leave residual shadows in place.

Whether it's used to lure enemies or to intimidate enemies...

It's excellent!

"Whew~" Almost at the same time, Lu Ran sensed energy fluctuations behind him.

He didn't hesitate and teleported away again.

It wasn't that he was afraid of fighting, but Lu Ran wanted to stay as far away from the Blood Pool area as possible; he didn't want to be killing while luring a few more Blood Skulls.

Then how could he play?

"Hiss!" The Blood Skull roared, its hoarse voice like a soul-reaping ghost.

Lu Ran's figure flashed repeatedly, and the Blood Skull followed closely behind, leaving one blood-colored residual shadow after another on the ground, permeated with a pungent bloody smell.

"Clang!"

On a desolate hilltop, the sound of blades clashing came.

One side was a mysterious hero wearing a green straw cape and bamboo hat.

The other side was a blood-colored Asura that wouldn't leave like a shadow!

"Clang! Clang! Clang..."

In an instant, the man and the demon clashed several times.

Blade light and blade shadows, they were actually evenly matched!

"Mm?" The Blood Skull seemed a bit surprised, emitting a slightly rising nasal sound, and the blood shadow flashed quietly.

The Eight Desolations Blade slashed down rapidly!

Lu Ran's blade was very fast, but it failed to cut the Blood Skull in two, only forcibly scattering the blood-colored residual shadow.

"Whew!" Terrifying energy fluctuations struck.

Not giving Lu Ran a moment to catch his breath.

The moment Lu Ran looked up, a stream of hot blood had already been swung over.

The boiling blood was like a blood-red blade arc! The destructive power was shockingly strong, and wherever it passed, it cut deep marks into the ground.

Lu Ran immediately retreated and turned sideways, letting the blood arc graze his chest and sweep past rapidly.

Blood Skull Evil Technique, Weeping Blood Burning!

When this technique was at the River stage and below, it could only scatter a stream of hot blood, failing to form a perfect blade arc, more like a scorching blood whip.

Once it contaminated a human body, the boiling blood could burn holes in people's water armor, including their flesh.

At the Sea stage, the Evil Technique, Weeping Blood Burning, underwent a qualitative change!

The scattered blood would form a sharp blood arc, the hot attribute remained unchanged, and the terrifying output effect was added.

"Whew! Whew!"

Blade arcs struck rapidly, making people unable to cope.

What was even more terrifying was that the Blood Skull itself was also flashing repeatedly, and in this way, the blood-colored blade arcs were killing Lu Ran from all angles.

The attack speed was shocking!

Ordinary people would probably have died under the chaotic blades long ago; where could they see it all?

But the opera singer could!

Lu Ran activated the Martial Student Divine Technique, Swallow Feather Turn, like a swaying leaf, flashing and moving, turning left and right amidst the dense blood arcs.

"Hiss!" The Blood Skull let out another hoarse roar.

But this sound didn't seem to be anger, but excitement?

The Blood Skull released scarlet light in its eyes, and the originally sinister gaze became increasingly bloodthirsty.

"Sizzle..."

Only to see thick blood mist released from the small skulls on the necklace worn around the Blood Skull's neck.

Blood Skull Evil Technique, Blood Rain and Foul Wind!

Within a radius of one hundred meters, it was quickly shrouded in blood mist.

This time, the opera singer had no moves.

In the blood mist, there were divine power fluctuations everywhere; how could Lu Ran, this "leaf", float up again?

The opera singer couldn't... it didn't matter.

The dog could!

Lu Ran possessed the Evil Dog Evil Technique, and his evil consciousness and evil agility were fully activated.

His fighting style changed abruptly, turning into a flexible and swift evil dog, rushing left and right, moving forward and backward amidst the foul wind and bloody rain.

"Ugh~" Lu Ran couldn't help but retch while dodging.

He already had a dog's nose, which was extremely sharp, and the extremely pungent bloody smell kept drilling into his nose.

It made Lu Ran feel extremely uncomfortable!

"Hiss..."

A faint dragon roar sounded.

In the bloody rain and foul wind, dense water droplets suddenly appeared, and small Cang dragons emerged.

The blood mist thus became a thing of the past, and the polluted battlefield returned to its former clarity.

The Blood Skull stopped.

Lu Ran also stopped his pace, looking at the blood shadow standing quietly tens of meters away.

Only to see the Blood Skull release the blood blade in its hand, reach out with one hand, and land on the body of a small Cang dragon, letting it swim slowly under its palm.

The movement was very gentle.

It was completely different from the fierce appearance of the Blood Skull before!

Lu Ran frowned; this Sea Realm great demon seemed to have high intelligence?

He didn't hesitate and called out: "Baa~"

The Blood Skull's body trembled, and it looked up abruptly at the human youth.

Immediately, the surrounding water droplets dissipated, and the small Cang dragons shattered without a trace.

The purification effect of the Cang Dragon Sea Area didn't distinguish between friend and foe; Lu Ran naturally wouldn't help the enemy recover a clear mind.

"Come."

Lu Ran grabbed his waist, the Rosy Cloud Blade unsheathed, and his other hand gripped the Eight Desolations Blade, pointing the blade tip at the ground in front of him.

"Hiss..."

The Blood Skull's throat sound was hoarse, and it also gripped its palm, grabbing another slender blood blade.

The next instant, the Blood Skull's figure flashed suddenly!

Lu Ran turned around abruptly, blocking with the Rosy Cloud Blade in his left hand and slashing horizontally with the Eight Desolations Blade in his right hand.

Strangely, the movements of both sides were almost exactly the same!

Four blades collided at the same time.

"Clang!"

Lu Ran's left-hand Rosy Cloud Blade steadily blocked the horizontal slash, and his right hand was filled with the power of the Burning Heaven, the Eight Desolations Blade directly shattering the opponent's blood blade.

Blood Skull:!!!

Lu Ran:!!!

Not only were the movements of the man and the demon the same, but the moment they decided the winner, they both teleported away.

They separated upon contact!

Because Lu Ran's Eight Desolations Blade, after shattering the enemy's blood blade, took the opportunity to shatter the blood skull necklace around the enemy's neck, and the blade had already shallowly sunk into the enemy's neck!

And Lu Ran's Rosy Cloud Blade blocked the hot blood swung from the opponent's horizontal blood blade, but failed to block the hot blood.

The boiling blood condensed into a sharp blood arc, and at such a close distance, the blood arc had already shallowly sunk into the water armor covering Lu Ran's neck.

Once again, the two were a hundred meters apart.

The straw-caped youth raised his head slightly, and under the wide brim of the bamboo hat were bright pupils.

The Blood Skull also raised its head and looked over; hidden under the messy red hair was a pair of blood pupils that were both shocked and angry.

"It seems that in the future, I should come here often to fight with your clan."

Lu Ran wiped the back of his hand across the water armor on his neck, where there was a shallow blade mark, stained with a trace of bright red blood.

He had forgotten when the water armor was last damaged.

When was the last time he was so close to death...

Even the Heaven Realm Great Martial Monk, Peak Master Tu, didn't cause any harm to Lu Ran; from beginning to end, Peak Master Tu was giving Lu Ran a chance.

The Blood Skull was different!

That blood arc just now could really shatter armor.

Until now, the residual blood was still burning, not allowing Lu Ran's water armor to "heal".

And Lu Ran, from the initial hair-raising, was already boiling with blood at this moment!

He finally saw himself clearly.

The Blood Skull was still that Blood Skull, and its fierce aura still made people feel cold on their backs.

But Lu Ran's heart was getting hotter and hotter!

In just a few rounds, it surpassed all the battles on the westward journey before.

Lu Ran knew that this extremely dangerous creature could definitely keep him in peak condition, or even improve his fighting state!

"Come again!"

Lu Ran licked his lips, his legs slightly bent, and he swung his blades.

The Blood Skull tilted its head and didn't move.

Lu Ran's expression changed, and he turned sideways to dodge.

Another blood arc struck from behind, its speed shockingly fast.

While dodging, Lu Ran looked to the rear right, and another blood-colored figure came into view, with sinister eyes.

The newly arrived "Ghost Yaksha" hadn't suffered a loss at Lu Ran's hands yet, and hadn't reached the point of shock and anger.

"You're not good enough, you're only at the River stage." Lu Ran frowned slightly.

The Blood Skull couldn't understand human language, but anyone could understand the expression and attitude of the straw-caped youth.

"Hiss!" The Blood Skull roared hoarsely, its figure flashing suddenly.

"Drink!!" Lu Ran suddenly let out a loud shout.

The roar from the Dongting sect made the Blood Skull's brain dizzy, and the moment it appeared, it was fixed directly in front of Lu Ran.

"Sizzle!"

Blade light flashed, and the Eight Desolations Blade slashed directly from the Blood Skull's right shoulder to its left waist.

The Blood Skull's half body slid down diagonally, dying instantly.

The leader of the Great Xia demons was indeed extremely dangerous.

But how bad could the leader of the Great Xia's heaven-gifted geniuses be?

Life and death under the blade, in an instant!

Lu Ran didn't pay attention to the standing half-corpse, licked his lips, and turned to look at the Sea Realm great demon:

"Come, let's continue! I... won't shout at you."
