Chapter 82

Lu Ran subconsciously leaned back and tilted his head, but was still splashed with blood.

He tapped his feet and drifted back lightly.

The evil demon carcass fell to the ground with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Hmm." Lu Ran raised his head slightly, savoring it.

The Soul-Splitting Demon's soul had already been detained into the God-Demon Sculpture Garden and swallowed by the evil sculpture.

Lu Ran reached into his neck, took off the Divine Power Bead, and pressed it against the evil demon carcass.

The Soul-Splitting Demon's flesh and blood quickly dissolved, all turning into energy, and were sucked into the bead.

Only a magic crystal fell to the ground, which was also picked up by Lu Ran and put into his pocket.

From the body, to the soul, to the magic crystal condensed from cultivation, all were taken as his own by Lu Ran.

Such a scene, such an act...

I really don't know who is the real "evil demon."

Lu Ran, while embedding the Divine Power Bead back into the buckle of the red rope and pendant on his neck, listened intently.

Immediately, he turned and left.

Sure enough, human companions limited my performance!

In the darkness, in the corners, in places where no one paid attention, I could fire on all cylinders!

It really is...

It turns out I'm the one who is most unsightly.

Lu Ran pursed his lips, scanning his eyes around, like a pitch-black phantom, darting rapidly through the forest.

Finally, near the edge of the deep forest, he saw the black crow circling in the air.

Lu Ran felt much more at ease in his heart.

After all, Cai Yunfei was not just an instructor, but also a bodyguard.

Since he hadn't joined the battle group, it meant that the few people in the team were fine.

"Caw!"

Seeing Lu Ran rush out of the forest, Cai Yunfei shouted, and his hanging heart was put down.

The battle group was divided into two, and Cai Yunfei couldn't be in two places at once.

Fortunately, over the past ten days, Lu Ran's performance had been extremely amazing, which made Cai Yunfei full of confidence in him.

After entering the deep forest, the Soul-Splitting Demon clan's vision would naturally be obstructed.

Lu Ran possessed the top-tier talent of "Listening to the Wind" and would surely be like a fish in water.

Plus Lu Ran's terrifying speed, Cai Yunfei believed that the Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer would definitely be able to shake off the evil demons.

It's just that...

When Cai Yunfei saw Lu Ran covered in blood, he was shocked!

Cai Yunfei naturally saw the mountain forest shaking and trees falling in the distance.

He naturally thought that the Soul-Splitting Demons lured into the dark forest had become headless flies, bumping around.

Later, the trees stopped falling, presumably because Lu Ran had escaped and disappeared, and the Soul-Splitting Demons had given up the chase.

But looking at Lu Ran's appearance...

Could it be,

It wasn't that the Soul-Splitting Demons gave up, but that Lu Ran had killed them all?

Cai Yunfei hadn't thought that the blood belonged to Lu Ran.

But looking at Lu Ran's vigorous posture, where was there any sign of injury?

"Baa~~~"

Lu Ran ran out of the mountain forest, stopped his feet, and slid sideways to brake.

The sheep's bleat grew louder and louder, until a certain node, finally attracting the attention of the Soul-Splitting Demons at the battle group.

"Haha!" Niu Zhengzheng laughed excitedly, even a bit wildly.

The great axe in his hand hacked out violently.

"Brother Ran is back!" Deng Yutang was also excited, and his attack speed had improved.

At this time, the battlefield was full of evil demon corpses.

The enemy had suffered more than half casualties; in front of that row of lotus petals, only six or seven evil demons were still resisting.

They were fighting more and more bravely, without the slightest intention of being timid!

Why?

Because the Red Scarf believer Deng Yutang was constantly performing the Divine Technique: Red Scarf Order!

That roar of battle not only helped his teammates boost their fighting spirit but also helped the evil demon clan maximize their fighting will!

Isn't this a kind of killing with praise?

Listen to me: You can fight, you are strong, you are fearless!

So... hurry up and die.

The Red Scarf believer's battle roar was quite powerful and effective!

But Lu Ran's appearance seemed to boost spirits even more than the Divine Technique: Red Scarf Order!

Even though Lu Ran was in the darkness and people couldn't see his figure.

But this familiar sheep's bleat made everyone excited!

"My brother is the best!" Qiao Yuanxi cheered, her five fingers suddenly spread.

A Miao Miao Huo Long flew behind the enemy army and exploded.

Along with it exploded an Explosive Flame Talisman thrown by Jiang Ruyi.

"Boom—!"

Jiang Ruyi stood on a lotus petal in the air.

As the commander, she kept a close eye on the battlefield situation and didn't look for Lu Ran.

But in her heart, she let out a big sigh of relief.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

Flying swords wove through, slaughtering evil demons according to their master's guidance.

Guan Yiren stood in the air on her long sword.

She still had no expression, but her cold eyes flickered slightly.

Because the Sword One believer was incredibly arrogant, she never thought that fighting Stream Realm or Mist Realm evil demons was worth praising.

That Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer who had lured away 3 River Realm evil demons alone was the founder of this victory!

Thinking about it, Guan Yiren frowned slightly.

This feeling...

Security?

It was interesting.

All along, in Qiao Yuanxi's three-person team, Guan Yiren was the one who was relied upon and depended on.

"Flap flap flap~"

The black crow flapped its wings and landed on Lu Ran's shoulder: "Were you hurt?"

"No." Lu Ran placed a hand in front of his face.

He pulled the red scarf he had pulled to the bridge of his nose upward, covering his eyes more tightly.

Cai Yunfei: "What's with all this blood on you? Did you have a head-on collision with the Soul-Splitting Demons?"

"Shh!" Lu Ran listened intently, issuing a command to be quiet.

Cai Yunfei:???

You covered your eyes again just to stop me from asking questions?

"Summarize after the battle." Lu Ran moved rapidly toward the right front.

Cai Yunfei was choked up and immediately flew away, flapping his wings.

Lu Ran came to the southwest side of the battle group, located at the rear of the Soul-Splitting Demon herd.

Shouting here was more effective; once the Soul-Splitting Demons were distracted, they would naturally turn around and turn their backs to the human team.

A few minutes later, the remaining few Soul-Splitting Demons were all wiped out.

"Haha!" Niu Zhengzheng laughed loudly, slapping the back of his head, "Refreshing!"

From the initial fear, to everyone fighting bravely, to crushing the enemy...

Nothing was more refreshing than a victory after a fierce battle.

"Where is my brother?"

Qiao Yuanxi shouted for the first time.

"I'm here." A familiar voice sounded, and a pitch-black figure walked out of the darkness.

Clothes disheveled, covered in blood.

In an instant, everyone's expression changed.

"Brother!" Qiao Yuanxi hurriedly summoned a Miao Miao Huo Long.

This time, she held the lantern handle in one hand.

That eight-sided lantern emitting dark red light abruptly turned fluorescent green.

Flower Lantern Divine Technique: Firefly Cage!

This was a healing technique: for creatures illuminated by the light, wounds would heal faster.

"I wasn't hurt." Lu Ran said immediately.

Qiao Yuanxi had already run to Lu Ran's side, her expression concerned.

She held the lantern, shining it up and down on Lu Ran's body, checking carefully.

Jiang Ruyi's expression was stiff, her voice rarely a bit cold:

"Didn't I say you weren't allowed to engage in close-quarters combat?"

"Hmm..." Lu Ran lowered his head slightly, "The battlefield changes in an instant; I just happened to be there."

Lu Ran didn't blame Jiang Ruyi.

After all, she was out of concern and worry, afraid that Lu Ran would have an accident.

More importantly, the information between the two was asymmetrical.

Jiang Ruyi only knew that Lu Ran was an Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer; how would she know that behind him, there was a God-Demon Sculpture Garden?

Everyone knew what the divine techniques of the Xiang Xiang Xianyang sect were.

Jiang Ruyi naturally thought that Lu Ran had fought the Soul-Splitting Demon head-on, and the blood soaked on him also confirmed this.

How would she know that Lu Ran was casting spells from far away?

Lu Ran used a dog's mouth to bite... uh, used Evil Teeth to bite the bull's eyes, and gnawed wildly on the bull's head meat.

The Soul-Splitting Demon was struggling on the verge of death and wanted to fight to the death, but Lu Ran didn't give the opponent a chance at all.

He took a step ahead and activated the Evil Technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Hoof.

Lu Ran was really careful about fighting.

"You... you killed the River Realm Soul-Splitting Demons?" Niu Zhengzheng widened his eyes, looking foolishly at Lu Ran, "Three of them?"

Everyone stared at Lu Ran.

Especially Jiang Ruyi; she was really angry and terrified in her heart.

"No, no." Lu Ran waved his hands repeatedly, whispering, "Two ran away."

Niu Zhengzheng:???

What did that mean?

If those two hadn't run away, did you want to kill them too?

"I was very careful, don't worry." Lu Ran defended himself, "There was no light source in the forest, and the Soul-Splitting Demons couldn't see clearly, so their threat was greatly reduced."

Qiao Yuanxi suddenly reached out and pulled off the red scarf on Lu Ran's face.

Lu Ran was a bit stunned, looking down at his sister.

Qiao Yuanxi's beautiful big eyes also carried a trace of annoyance: "Don't do this next time; you want to worry people to death!"

"My fault, my fault." Lu Ran apologized repeatedly.

A cold voice came abruptly: "Extraordinary people naturally do extraordinary things.

No need to worry too much."

"Hey, Sister Yiren!" Qiao Yuanxi stomped her feet in anger and turned to look at the female sword immortal, "Why are you still speaking for him?"

Guan Yiren landed slowly and didn't speak again.

"Cough, cough." Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Lu Ran coughed lightly.

He placed a hand on Qiao Yuanxi's head and smiled: "Save some face for your brother; let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"

"Hmph!" Qiao Yuanxi stuffed the Firefly Cage into Lu Ran's arms and turned away.

"Pfft~"

The Firefly Cage suddenly shattered, turning into countless green light spots, sprinkling all over Lu Ran.

Lu Ran felt it carefully, like a spring breeze.

"Clear the battlefield, we'll return from here, not going into the deep forest." Lu Ran's gaze swept over the others.

Niu Zhengzheng, Deng Yutang, and Tian Tian immediately obeyed and took action.

Even though Lu Ran wasn't the team leader or the commander, his weight in words was quite heavy.

Only Jiang Ruyi, in the lingering fear, was still angry, looking at Lu Ran.

Looking at Jiang Meiren's stubborn appearance, Lu Ran smiled embarrassedly:

"You too, there are so many people here; wait until we get home to talk about me, okay?"

Jiang Ruyi:???

Who wants to go home with you?

She took the Divine Power Bead and turned to absorb the Soul-Splitting Demon carcass.

Lu Ran spun his blade in his hand, letting out a light sigh in his heart.

In the final analysis, it was because his own strength wasn't strong enough... hmm, that doesn't seem right either?

No matter how strong he became, she would still be unable to help but care and worry, right?

Lu Ran looked at Jiang Meiren's slender figure, a smile appearing on his face.

Little Ruyi,

Sooner or later, I'll take you home.

There's another chapter at 10 PM, asking for monthly tickets!
