Chapter 92: Yellow Raincoat

Deng Deng Yuxiang has finally made her move!

Everyone present couldn't help but look toward the location swept by the tornado.

They were desperate to know whether the Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer, whom Deng Deng Yuxiang had crossed the entire small town to invite at all costs, was truly as miraculous as legend claimed.

The people of Wangyue naturally harbored no desire to see a spectacle; on the contrary, they desperately hoped Lu Ran would succeed!

Ever since Yin Hua Dan appeared, she had killed one of the Wangyue people and severely injured their team.

Every second of her existence was like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads, ready to snatch away the life of anyone present at any moment.

Every minute and every second of her existence was like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads, ready to take the life of anyone present at any moment.

The storm destroyed the asphalt road, churning up gravel and mud to form a filthy tornado.

The storm destroyed the asphalt road, churning up gravel and mud to form a filthy tornado.

Piercing screams rang out, causing everyone's spirits to lift!

A piercing scream rang out, causing everyone's spirits to lift!

"She really is there!" The crowd of Wangyue people exclaimed in both shock and joy.

High in the sky, Wei Long held Lu Ran, keeping him suspended in midair: "You didn't disappoint her."

Lu Ran opened his horizontal pupils, his gaze cold and sharp as he stared at the dirty tornado.

No, no soul had appeared.

Yin Hua Dan was not yet dead.

However, she had at least revealed her true form.

After all, if Yin Hua Dan had insisted on phasing her body, she would have been completely scattered by the storm.

The storm unleashed by Deng Deng Yuxiang was no natural wind from the world of nature; it was imbued with thick divine power!

That said, even with Yin Hua Dan revealing her true form, she was not some random cat or dog that could be slaughtered.

The Yi Zu Xie Fa of the Yin Hua clan is powerful.

Just the opera costume she wore could perfectly merge with the Xie Fa known as the Yin Hua Robe.

This Ci Xie Fa was not only extremely concealed but also possessed quite formidable defensive effects!

"At the beginning, when she said she was going to seek your help, many people thought she was making a fuss over nothing," Wei Long sighed lightly.

"That's normal; I'm just a student, and a believer of Xiang Xiang Xianyang," Lu Ran said in a deep voice, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Within the tornado, it seemed a handkerchief was being propped up?

Xie Fa: Yin Hua Handkerchief!

Pity that the handkerchief, which should have emitted a fragrance and been exquisitely crafted, was stained filthy by the mud storm.

In the next instant, the handkerchief suddenly expanded!

Was Yin Hua Dan trying to erect a wall to intercept the rapidly spinning storm?

"Hmph." Deng Deng Yuxiang's expression was terrifyingly gloomy, killing intent astonishing in her eyes!

She thrust one hand forward, exerting her technique to the limit, injecting thick divine power into the storm.

And from within that very palm, a series of eight single-bladed knives shot forth!

"Crack... crack..."

The handkerchief, which appeared to be made of cloth, developed a tiny crack under the tearing of the wild wind.

That handkerchief, which appeared to be made of cloth, developed a faint crack under the tearing force of the wild wind.

The handkerchief's defensive power was considerable; it was far from being torn apart.

Yin Hua Dan spun along with the storm, her body slamming heavily against the handkerchief, only to have her face plastered with gravel and mud!

Just as she wanted to take the opportunity to escape the tornado...

Amidst the chaos, wind blades attacked!

This string of wind blades had cut in from the edge of the tornado long ago.

Following the direction of the storm's sweep, they rotated a full half-circle before stabbing straight at the handkerchief!

All eight wind blades struck the exact same spot on the handkerchief with each thrust.

Breaking the surface by focusing on a single point!

A perfect counter.

Regrettably, the battle was too chaotic, and that string of wind blades failed to strike Yin Hua Dan's body.

Unfortunately, the battle formation was too chaotic, and that string of wind blades failed to strike Yin Hua Dan.

Between heaven and earth, it was as if a huge pane of glass had shattered; the crisp sound was extremely piercing.

The massive handkerchief shattered with a boom.

And Yin Hua Dan, covered in mud, was once again seized by the storm and spun around violently.

"You can go nowhere..." Deng Deng Yuxiang murmured.

It was hard to imagine that a person's soft whisper could reveal such dense killing intent.

The fierce wind and waves blew Deng Deng Yuxiang's yellow raincoat until it snapped loudly, also blowing open her hood.

Her long, pitch-black hair flew wildly in the rain.

At this moment, Deng Deng Yuxiang looked like a god standing proudly aloof.

A god of slaughter!

"Hiss!!"

Yin Hua Dan screamed, her cry seeming to change in nature, carrying a hint of a "wail."

From within the storm, a long strip of silk suddenly protruded.

Amid the storm, a long strip of silk suddenly extended outward.

Yin Hua Dan was unwilling to perish just yet and continued her death throes.

And this long strip of silk looked remarkably like the water sleeves of an opera costume?

Water sleeves ought to be white silk, but alas, the moment they appeared, they were thoroughly defiled by the mud within the storm.

Xie Fa · Yin Water Sleeve!

One of Yin Hua Dan's water sleeves shot outward, growing longer and longer, attempting to drive everyone away.

The cuff of the other water sleeve suddenly flared open!

Yin Hua Dan had changed her tactics!

Since the handkerchief could not stop the tornado, she intended to absorb the entire storm.

One had to admit, the Yin Flower Clan was truly powerful.

From mindset to Xie Fa, strong from the inside out!

And as Yin Hua Dan spun within the wind, the other water sleeve also stretched longer and longer.

"Retreat!"

"Don't get caught by her sleeves!" Everyone shouted warnings to their companions.

Once people were caught by the Yin Water Sleeves, being strangled to death would be considered lucky.

What was even more terrifying was that you would be sucked into the sleeve cuff, your flesh and blood refined and dissolved bit by bit.

Just like how people used Divine Power Beads to draw out the energy from demon corpses and dissolve the demon bodies.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

Several wind blades pierced into the storm once again, but as they neared Yin Hua Dan, they were all taken in by the flared sleeve cuff.

High in the sky, Lu Ran suddenly spoke:

"Brother Wei, tell everyone they must guard their minds and not come to kill me."

Wei Long immediately understood Lu Ran's intention and at once shouted loudly to the crowd.

Lu Ran then looked downward and yelled, "Sister, I'm going to call out!"

He had to remind Deng Deng Yuxiang.

Because at this moment, the Great Da Da Mengyan's intent to kill was too intense!

It completely matched the prerequisite conditions Lu Ran usually cited when mocking demons.

The only difference was that Deng Deng Yuxiang's mindset was far superior to that of the demon clans.

More importantly, she shared bonds of comradeship with Lu Ran.

Deng Deng Yuxiang's voice was extremely cold: "Call."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Ran opened his mouth directly: "Baa~~~"

Divine Art · Sound of Grief and Terror!

It was time!

Battlefield conditions changed in the blink of an eye; everything depended on the situation.

In the past, everyone's mockery techniques failed to lure Yin Hua Dan out because Yin Hua Dan maintained a lofty demeanor.

At that time, Yin Hua Dan lay hidden deep underground, playing everyone for fools, and might even have been enjoying it all.

But now things were different!

Yin Hua Dan was trapped in a chaotic battlefield, being torn and ravaged by the storm, letting out mournful, piercing screams.

She clearly no longer possessed that leisurely, toying-with-all-living-beings mindset from before.

The current Yin Hua Dan must be boiling with killing intent!

It was also highly likely she had no mind to activate mental defense techniques.

"Aaaah!!!"

In response to Lu Ran's judgment, the woman gave the best answer with an angry shriek!

"Hehe."

Deng Deng Yuxiang's eyes turned red, her breathing grew increasingly rapid, and her chest heaved violently.

As the peak existence of the River Realm, she should have been able to easily withstand Lu Ran's mental interference.

Alas, at this moment, she had truly seen red!

Well, strictly speaking, the Great Da Da Mengyan had always had red eyes.

Before, her eyes might have turned red from tears of grief and indignation.

Now, her eyes were scarlet from killing intent.

So red that she could not help but turn her head to look at Lu Ran.

"Lessen the waves, intercept halfway!" Lu Ran likewise looked at Deng Deng Yuxiang.

That pair of eerie horizontal pupils possessed an aura no weaker than the killing-intent-filled eyes of the Great Da Da Mengyan.

Deng Deng Yuxiang bit her lip hard.

The pain between her lips brought her a moment of clarity, and her tongue tasted a hint of fresh blood.

The momentum of the storm suddenly slowed slightly.

Almost at the same instant, Yin Hua Dan, covered head to toe in sludge, shot out!

With the world spinning around her, she lacked any ability to discern direction.

Yin Hua Dan merely cast her Xie Fa recklessly, venting the violent rage in her heart on a large scale.

"Whoosh!!"

The wind and waves surged abruptly.

Deng Deng Yuxiang generated wind beneath her feet, dragging a great blade horse-knife in both hands as she thrust diagonally into the night sky at the "mud figure."

"Baa~~~"

At the same time, the bleating of the sheep rang out again.

The little lamb's wailing provided an attack direction for Yin Hua Dan, who was already dizzy.

Yin Hua Dan halted her movement, turned toward Lu Ran's position, and fiercely flung out a water sleeve.

Watching this scene, Lu Ran murmured, "If you kill me, you'll truly be gone."

"Crack!!"

The sound of shattering glass came again, extremely ear-piercing.

As Yin Hua Dan, blinded by rage, attempted to harm Lu Ran, a figure in a yellow raincoat flashed past her side.

The sharp great horse-chopping sword hummed and trembled, dragging out a long blade mark.

North Wind Divine Art · Lingering Wind Mark!

Speaking purely from the perspective of offensive power, this was likely the strongest single-target killing technique below the River Realm.

Without exception!

Yin Hua Dan was severed at the waist.

Both clothes and person were completely cut apart!

The two halves of the corpse spun and fell, sprinkling dots of fresh blood along the way.

Yet before the bones and flesh could hit the ground, they shattered into mist.

High in the night sky, Deng Deng Yuxiang turned and flew backward, gazing down at an angle.

The Night-Slaying Great Sword in her hand grew increasingly restless; the blood on the blade had not yet shattered into mist before it merged into the blade itself.

"Success."

"Good!!" Voices rang out one after another.

This was not only because Deng Deng Yuxiang had slain a powerful evil spirit, but also because everyone no longer had to "use their bodies as bait," constantly facing death.

"Hiss!!"

In a world invisible to the crowd, Yin Hua Dan angrily clawed at the air, her screams continuing.

Lu Ran quietly watched that departed soul, slowly drawing her toward him.

In her soul state, she was no longer covered in filth.

She wore a magnificent opera costume, adorned with elaborate headpieces, her face painted with the heavy makeup unique to drama.

Combined with Yin Hua Dan's currently angry and twisted expression, it appeared quite horrifying.

"Hiss!"

Yin Hua Dan's soul-body could not control itself; she wanted to escape the suction but was powerless to do so.

She soon realized who was behind this!

Instantly, Yin Hua Dan became even more enraged, her eyes fixed deathly on Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's gaze did not flinch; instead, those horizontal pupils were gloomy and cold:

"Since you've come, don't think of leaving."

"Well done." Wei Long, of course, could not see any of this as he floated downward with Lu Ran.

Just as Lu Ran's feet touched the muddy ground, a figure stabbed down from the night sky.

He lifted his head and witnessed a bizarre scene.

Deng Deng Yuxiang, completely unaware, passed directly through Yin Hua Dan's soul-body and landed before Lu Ran.

"I'll take you back," Deng Deng Yuxiang said very softly.

Lu Ran stared blankly at her face.

To be precise, he was looking at Yin Hua Dan's face, seen through Deng Deng Yuxiang's visage, pressing closer before his eyes.

Amidst bursts of agonized screams, the soul continuously contracted, surging toward Lu Ran's eyes.

Deng Deng Yuxiang still sensed nothing.

She removed the yellow raincoat from her body and draped it over Lu Ran.

It had to be said, in this cold rainy night, Lu Ran, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and shorts with bare feet, looked truly pitiful.

The oversized yellow raincoat carried a trace of her body heat.

It also carried a faint scent of camellias.

"Was Team Leader Sun ambushed here?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.

Deng Deng Yuxiang did not speak; instead, Wei Long's voice came from behind: "Yes."

Lu Ran felt a slight relief in his heart and said, "Team Leader Sun will definitely be al—uh."

Deng Deng Yuxiang pulled the raincoat's hood over Lu Ran's head, her fingers pinching the edge of the hood and tugging it down slightly with gentle force.

Lu Ran naturally lowered his head.

"I'll take you back," Deng Deng Yuxiang repeated her previous words, her voice small and soft.

As she spoke, she also lowered her head slightly, her blood-stained lips gently pressing against the hood.

Thanks to the great patron pharcyde for the 100,000 reward! Boss, you're generous, thanks for the support!

Wishing the boss double happiness of fortune and longevity, blessings as vast as the heavens, immense wealth every day, and songs and dances every night!

Hooray!
