Chapter 928

"Tan Dong!" Zhang Xiqing cried out in shock.

Her companion, who had been with her day and night, had just moments ago said, "We have absolute speed superiority," and now lay dead in the hooded figure's blade.

Zhang Xiqing's face turned grim.

Is that mysterious hooded figure in the rain cape a Dog Disciple?

In terms of pure speed, the East Thunder sect's followers truly tower above all others.

But no matter how fast you are, you're still just moving through space—the Dog Disciple actually teleports!

"Ah!" Zhang Xiqing suddenly stepped back a pace.

For the hooded figure slowly lifted his head, revealing cold, icy eyes beneath the wide brim of his hat.

Zhang Xiqing:!!!

She snapped awake!

Luo Tiantu's words were likely true.

Tian Tu Mountain had indeed provoked no other powerful factions.

The Asha disciples, Long Li followers, and Lie Tian disciples on the battlefield—all were brought here by this Dog Disciple!

From start to finish, Luo Tiantu had only angered one person?!

"You also like wading into muddy waters."

Lu Ran's face darkened, a strange deep red flickering in his eyes.

Zhang Xiqing felt her vision blur, instantly plunging into a world of crimson.

Countless red threads surged wildly, cruelly piercing her flesh and bones.

"Ah! Aaaah!" Zhang Xiqing's face twisted in agony, her hands clawing desperately at her skull.

Is this the Thread-Pulling Eye?

How is this possible!

He's a Dog Disciple, isn't he?

Thoughts flashed through Zhang Xiqing's mind—but she was in too much pain to think anymore.

Lu Ran's figure vanished in a flash, the Radiant Light Blade slashing down violently.

Radiant Light Sword Technique, Third Form: Shuoxing!

"Sssss—"

The Radiant Light Blade tore through two layers of Zhang Xiqing's armor.

One was the East Thunder sect's defensive divine art: Thunderclap Armor; the other was the common human believer's divine art: Waterflow Armor.

Under the assault of the demonic art—Thread-Pulling Eye—both armors were clearly unstable.

The sharp Radiant Light Blade, fueled by Lu Ran's terrifying Lie Tian power, didn't just tear through the armor—it carved deep into the woman's flesh, opening a long gash across her back.

Bone-deep!

"Sssss~ sss~"

In her dying moments, Zhang Xiqing unleashed a surge of desperate will to live!

Electricity crackled over her body; trembling from agony, she staggered sideways, stumbling as she ran.

"Sss—"

Lu Ran's feet blasted forth immortal mist, his body instantly teleporting forward.

Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Hoof of Xiang Yang's sect couldn't match East Thunder's Flashing Light.

But now, the East Thunder female believer's spirit was shattered, her body pierced by countless needles, her legs trembling—how could she reach her maximum speed?

"Yaa!!"

Behind her, Lu Ran let out another piercing scream.

Invisible sound waves, unseen to the naked eye, expanded outward like a sonic wave, completely engulfing the fleeing East Thunder woman's silhouette.

O mortals of the land, hear this song from the depths of the sea!

Come to think of it—is this shrill, grating scream even worthy of being called a "song"?

Hmm. Yes.

If it kills the enemy, it's a song.

War Song!

"Ah!" Zhang Xiqing suffered another mental strike, her mind going blank, her spirit reeling.

Her feet tangled.

"Sss!"

The blade pierced her skull.

Lu Ran drove the Eight Wilderness Blade through the back of her head, impaling her, dragging her forward, and finally pinning her to a massive tree.

A dull thud.

The great tree shuddered, bark and wood chips exploding outward.

The East Thunder female believer was embedded in the tree, motionless.

"Heh…" Lu Ran heaved, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling.

Deng Yu Xiang had said earlier that she would handle these two.

Because East Thunder suppresses the Dog Clan, and Lu Ran survives solely on the demonic art—Evil Awareness.

Yet now, both East Thunder believers lay dead.

"Sss!" Lu Ran pulled the Eight Wilderness Blade free, shaking the blood from its edge.

Suppression? Ridiculous!

Must I really play the dog?

I've activated dozens of statues—do you think this rabble can suppress me?

Demonic Art—Evil Awareness, activate!

Instantly, Lu Ran felt his connection to the surrounding heavens and earth return.

It was an illusion of omniscience and omnipotence.

The wind blew, the grass swayed, the leaves trembled.

Ah~ much better!

Lu Ran closed his eyes, savoring it, face serene with satisfaction.

Being a dog really is better.

"Boom!!"

Far to the west, a violent explosion roared through the air.

Lu Ran casually let go of the Radiant Light Blade, allowing it to hover beside him; he clasped his hands before his chest, and a glowing phoenix-patterned gourd flew out from within.

"Gulps, gulps."

Lu Ran strode westward, tilting his head back to drink deeply as he walked.

As for the believers' souls, he wasn't in a hurry to absorb them.

Corpses lingered on the battlefield for a time before drifting into the sky.

Even the souls of the Yu Fu disciples killed earlier, Lu Ran had not absorbed—he feared the buzzing in his skull would interfere with combat.

At the same moment, far away in the western woods.

There were no woods left here—now the earth had become a rolling, flowing river of quicksand.

Luo Tiantu had planned to use his flight advantage, trapping enemies with clinging quicksand to slow their pursuit.

But both pursuers could fly!

The Ye Mei disciple aside, that Asha believer held a divine weapon capable of flight.

"Puff!!"

A fierce sea of fire surged, incinerating every small Cang Dragon, boiling up thick fog.

"Great ones, let us talk!" Luo Tiantu shouted in panic, hurling a Firecracker Talisman and fleeing in disarray.

His disheveled hair, bloodied lips—how utterly unlike his former haughty, invincible demeanor!

Must admit—the Yu Fu sect is truly hard to kill!

Yu Fu disciples with all four elemental techniques can suppress many sects.

Earlier, Lady Kong had used an Ice Talisman to instantly freeze the small Cang Dragons shot by Luoying.

Now, Luo Tiantu used Firecracker Talismans to burn and vaporize the Cang Dragons.

At this moment, Luo Tiantu used an Explosive Flame Talisman to burn and vaporize the Little Cang Dragon.

A gale swept in.

Deng Yu Xiang hovered ahead and to the left of Luoying; she raised one hand, and the firestorm surging from the night sky was flung back.

Luo Tiantu immediately activated his Talisman Array, using its Firecracker Talismans to absorb the firestorm.

At this moment, the Tian Tu Mountain chief was utterly terrified.

Being relentlessly hunted by a Sea Realm Ye Mei disciple was already unbearable.

And now, barely moments after being caught, another Sea Realm Asha believer had appeared?

Worse still—the Asha sect possessed the divine art—Cang Dragon Sea Domain!

Within this domain, all abnormal states on any target were completely purified.

Within this domain, all abnormal states on every target are completely purified.

In other words, Luo Tiantu's Electric Shackles Charm and Frost Charm techniques had completely lost their effect.

The electricity doesn't numb, the frost doesn't freeze!

"Both of you!" Luo Tiantu shouted loudly.

The constant threat of death made his roar tremble.

"What are you yelling for?" Deng Yu replied coldly, extending her hand once more.

"Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

A string of Night Phantom Blades surged forward, emitting terrifying sonic booms.

"But what have I done to offend you great ones? Why must we resort to violence?" Luo Tiantu cried out. "I have no grudge against you!"

"Ding!"

The twang of the bowstring made Luo Tiantu's heart race; his voice faltered.

As he rapidly retreated, he hurled a Burst Flame Charm toward the direction from which the arrow had come.

"No grudge?" Deng Yu sneered.

Her left hand hung naturally at her side, her fingertips lightly plucking at something.

The string of Night Phantom Blades immediately spread out, spinning and darting with uncanny agility, attacking from every angle.

"When did I ever provoke you?!" Luo Tiantu cried, shocked and furious.

The eight Jade and Gold Talismans circling him instantly scattered, each transforming into ten-meter-wide Jade and Gold Shields to block the wind blades' assault.

Deng Yu raised one hand high.

On the beads of divine power around her neck, each bead suddenly glowed, rapidly replenishing her divine power.

In the night sky, another colossal wind blade rapidly formed.

Luo Tiantu:!!!

He had always dared not dive into the Liusha River, precisely because he feared this.

The Jade Talisman Sect had no perception techniques whatsoever, while the Night Phantom clan's ability to locate foes by sound was universally known.

Once he plunged into the churning Liusha River, he would only sense the danger the moment the blades were upon him.

What should he do?

The Night Phantom Blade stretched a kilometer long!

There was no way to escape its range!

He could only dodge.

Like before—dodge sideways!

Even if he truly avoided it, the secondary damage would follow like a shockwave, flinging him back and churning his qi and blood.

If he didn't dodge—

"Great one! There must be some misunderstanding here!" Luo Tiantu still pleaded, begging for even a sliver of hope.

Yet before he could finish the word "understanding," Luo Tiantu suddenly felt a terrifying energy surge behind him!

"Ah!" Luo Tiantu whipped his head around, his pupils contracting violently.

In the night sky behind him stood a figure.

A mysterious man, shrouded in thick mist beneath his feet, wearing a green reed cloak and a blue bamboo hat.

The mysterious man held a blade with both hands, vertical before him; the terrifying energy whipped his cloak wildly, while brilliant rays of light streamed forth from the blade's edge.

Luo Tiantu, a Sea Realm cultivator, could not stop his body from trembling.

Divine Weapon Domain?

This energy fluctuation, this terrifying aura—what the hell kind of Divine Weapon Domain is this?!

"No! Wait! It's a misunderstanding! Everyone, I surrender! I stop! Stop!!"

Luo Tiantu was so terrified he could barely speak.

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and all the jade talismans wrapped around him flew en masse toward the radiant light.

"Puff!"

The Burst Flame Charm struck the soft, flowing silk first.

A fierce sea of fire erupted, yet the radiant light drifted freely through it, continuing forward.

The Sandflow Charm followed, exploding into countless fine grains of sand—only to be incinerated by the light.

The Frost Charm fared even worse, utterly burned to ash.

Only the two Electric Shackles Charms, under Luo Tiantu's control, traced elegant arcs, dodging the beautiful light, flying toward Lu Ran.

"Zzz~ Zz~"

"Zzz!!"

As the distance closed, Luo Tiantu triggered the Electric Shackles Charms himself—two lightning spheres, five hundred meters in diameter, erupted violently.

Instantly, Lu Ran was engulfed in the lightning spheres, his body crackling with electricity—yet…

The next moment, the electricity vanished without a trace.

The mist beneath Lu Ran's feet was the Pureland Technique of the Jade-faced Snake Clan!

Though a River Realm purification method, its priority was higher.

You want to make me tingle all over?

Then you'd better reach above the Sea Realm!

At this moment, Luo Tiantu's eyes were filled with despair, his face ashen.

Before him, the soft, flowing silk rushed forward.

Beautiful—and lethal.

Above him, the Night Phantom Blade slashed down with terrible force.

From all directions, countless water arrows and Little Cang Dragons swarmed.

Far away in the night sky, Lu Ran's eyes shimmered with divine radiance, his entire being exuding divinity.

His bright gaze locked with Luo Tiantu's ashen, lifeless eyes.

No grudge?

Open your eyes and look at me properly, Chief Luo!

If you don't recognize me, it doesn't matter.

Lu Ran's expression was blank as he gazed at the once-mighty Sea Realm cultivator who had once towered over him.

In a moment, I'll use Soul Prison and Soul Fire to help you remember!
