Golden swords fell like rain, showering Crescent Lake.

Long swords were not only incredibly fast, but also dense and numerous, making Lu Ran secretly click his tongue in amazement!

"Hisss..."

Above the lake, a Night Charm softly groaned.

Her speed was extraordinary as she stepped upon a layer of wind and waves, weaving and leaping through the golden sword rain.

Even Lu Ran found himself somewhat spellbound.

Such movement technique was too elegant.

Under the melancholy moonlight, the lady on the lake fluttered in her black veil, her figure enchanting, providing onlookers with a peerless nocturnal dance.

"Plop!" Water splashed everywhere as a Night Charm burst forth from the lake's depths.

Amid the dense rain of swords, a golden long sword pierced through the Night Charm's bamboo hat, nailing her back into the lake.

As expected of Sword One's believer, the efficiency of the slaughter was indeed alarming.

Even for a swiftly agile Evil Demon like a Night Charm, a slight misstep would lead to a swift and clean death.

"Plop!"

Another Night Charm surged from the bottom of the lake, flinging an arm up fiercely.

A Gale suddenly whipped up, rattling the trees.

Guan Yiren's hair danced wildly as she staggered back several steps, her casting interrupted by the members of the Night Charm Clan.

"Hisss..."

"Hisss." Two Night Charms seemed to communicate with each other, attacking from the left and right, targeting the woods.

As they lunged forward, both flung strings of Night Charm Blades.

"Eight blades, both are from River Realm!" Qiao Yuansi picked up a lantern and immediately released it into the night sky.

The nature of the Bright Fire Cage changed, from dark red to golden red.

Brilliant and dazzling, blindingly bright.

At once, the Night Charms on the edge of the woods began to show a layer of golden-red luster on their bodies.

It was as if they were tagged, making them distinctly visible.

Divine Technique·Bright Fire Cage!

In fact, this was a defensive technique.

Any creature touched by the light could don a layer of golden-red energy for protection.

Of course, whether to encase a target in "Golden Red Armor" was up to the caster's will.

That is to say, this group defense technique was very advanced and could distinguish friend from foe.

And this technique had one characteristic—it was darn bright!

That eye-catching golden red was like taunting the enemy:

"Come on~ I'm here, come kill me~"

Qiao Yuansi was using this feature to turn a defensive Divine Technique into a marking technique.

She was inherently from Stream Realm, executing Divine Techniques of Stream Divine Skill Grade, and she deliberately adjusted the Divine Method Grade down to Immortal Fog...

The key point was "all brightness, no defense."

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~!"

Guan Yiren quickly retreated, using the golden-red luster as guidance, rapidly flinging 8 flying swords from her hands.

"I hate these bitches most!" Niu Zhengzheng yelled, wielding a great axe, desperately deflecting the Night Charm Blades.

Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, several Night Charm Blades were shattered by the axe.

Still, one vicious Night Charm Blade, ambushing from behind Niu Zhengzheng's left, thrust straight at the back of his head.

Niu Zhengzheng: !!!

The whizzing sound of swift approach, along with the martial artist's sharp intuition, made Niu Zhengzheng's skin crawl!

He instinctively activated Divine Technique·Western Wilderness Body!

In just an instant, Niu Zhengzheng transformed from a flesh-and-blood body into one made of sand.

This was an exceptionally powerful life-saving technique, but it had a flaw: it consumed an excessive amount of Divine Power.

"Ding~"

A crisp sound struck, but Niu Zhengzheng was not hit by the piercing Night Charm Blade after all.

Suddenly, a Black Luminous Stone Blade flew past him from behind, flicking away the Night Charm Blade.

"Go help Little Yuanxi," Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Ra... Eh." Niu Zhengzheng's 'brother' word hadn't yet left his mouth when he was filled with Immortal Fog.

Lu Ran stopped abruptly and shot straight toward Crescent Lake.

He not only broke away from the squad but leaped over the lake to the other side of Crescent Lake.

"Here he comes!" Lang Zhixuan clenched his fists, brimming with excitement.

He was finally going to witness how the feeble and timid Immortal Sheep Believer fought.

Lang Zhixuan's heart was filled not only with curiosity but also with immense anticipation!

Coincidentally, Zhang Ya was also discreetly observing the youth on the opposite side of the lake.

Only instead of excitement, Team Leader Zhang frowned, displeased.

Previously, her stance was adamant; she had rejected Lu Ran's proposal.

And now, Lu Ran had still broken away from the team. How was this different from suicide?

Alright, I'll assume you have keen senses and aren't worried about being ambushed by Night Charms hiding in the deep forest.

But you ran off to the other side on your own—what are you planning... Hm?

"Meeeh~"

An unexpected bleating sound came out, resembling the wailing of a young lamb.

Since Lu Ran was far enough away, his voice was very weak and didn't overly disturb the Human Clan.

But it was different for the Night Charms!

Especially the one targeting Niu Zhengzheng—this Night Charm, still near the lakeshore, heard the faint bleating clearly!

"Hm?" The Night Charm suddenly turned its head and immediately abandoned Niu Zhengzheng, heading straight for Lu Ran.

Under the moonlight, the lake surface shimmered.

The enchanting figure treaded on the water, splashing droplets all around, a sight of incomparable beauty.

"Old Xiao," Lang Zhixuan said gravely, "that bleating sound is strange; there's something off about it!"

Xiao Yusong did not respond; instead, he focused intently on the other battle in the deep forest.

Guan Yiren was fiercely battling a Night Charm.

Eight flying swords and eight flying blades were engaged in a ferocious skirmish; the situation was intense.

"Dawn Blade," Qiao Yuansi held the handle of the blade with her backhand, "can you help Sister Yiren?"

As she spoke, she tried to pull on the handle, but it wouldn't budge.

The Divine Weapon remained still on her back, immobile.

"Dawn Blade, you... oh!" Qiao Yuansi was startled because the Dawn Blade suddenly moved.

It quickly circled around her side, the blade fiercely sweeping out a half-moon arc.

"Snap" came a crisp sound.

A wildly veering Night Charm Blade was sliced apart!

The Dawn Blade circled around Qiao Yuansi and then resumed its position on her back.

Qiao Yuansi: "..."

At that moment, she didn't know whether to feel happy or not.

The Dawn Blade was cold, yet Qiao Yuansi felt a warm and secure feeling in her heart.

It was as if... as if her brother was there protecting her side, and she didn't have to worry about getting hurt.

The only problem was that the blade didn't obey her commands.

Even though Qiao Yuansi was Lu Ran's biological sister, it didn't matter!

Divine Weapon recognized only one master!

At the same time, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from the deep forest in the distance.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it..."

Lang Zhixuan covered his head with his hands, his face full of disbelief.

"What are you yelling about?" Xiao Yusong's expression darkened; it was the first time he found his brother so annoying.

After all, as an East Thunder believer, he was usually quite proud and had some level of dignity.

But why was he becoming more and more pathetic, always yelling and screaming?

"Look, just look! I'm going to your mother..." Lang Zhixuan pointed with a gaping mouth toward the other side of the lake.

Xiao Yusong followed his gaze and his expression immediately froze.

Under the cool moonlight, a man and a demon were clashing blades!

A close-quarters, face-to-face blade duel!

The Night Charm wielded eight blades.

One grasped in the hand, the other seven circled around the body, fluttering like butterflies.

Lu Ran had only one blade, but he stood resolute, fearlessly forcing the Night Charm to retreat step by step!

Those seven Night Charm Blades, referred to as butterflies, were real lethal weapons!

Especially under the moonlight's reflection, each Night Charm Blade twinkled with a chilling light, making one shudder.

And amidst the crisscrossing Night Charm Blade Formation...

Lu Ran was even more a Night Charm than the Night Charms themselves!

He flickered and dodged, unpredictable in his movements.

Lunging left, darting right, advancing and retreating.

His blade never strayed from the vitals of the Night Charm!

"This..." Xiao Yusong stared in astonishment at the shadow dancing under the moon.

This was no longer a matter of whether he was a "lamb" or not!

Should a martial artist of the River Realm·First Rank possess such skills?

For a fleeting moment, Xiao Yusong felt as if he was watching two Night Charms in combat!

"Zhi—"

Mist spewed from beneath Lu Ran's feet as he swiftly retreated backward.

Two Night Charm Blades, flickering with cold light, suddenly flew past his face, forming an "X".

The closeness of the slash made onlookers' hearts leap.

"Zhi—"

Lu Ran stomped heavily on the ground, apparently using Immortal Hoof, but only retreated less than 2 meters.

He abruptly stopped and started again, Immortal Hoof beneath his feet took off once more.

With the Silent Night Blade in hand, he thrust forward sideways.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

In the short distance of a two-meter thrust, Lu Ran, leaning to the side, avoided three Night Charm Blades.

Tilting his head, one Night Charm Blade grazed his temple.

Leaning his body, another Night Charm Blade swept past his chest.

With his arm behind him slightly raised, he allowed a Night Charm Blade to slip beneath.

"Zhi!"

With a grim expression, Lu Ran lifted the fluttering underlay of the black veil with the Silent Night Blade in his hand and, from bottom to top, diagonally stabbed into the Night Charm's throat!

Precise and sharp.

A blade that sealed the throat!

Lu Ran knew that the Night Clothes, bamboo hat, including that soft black veil, all had strong defensive power!

But behind the veil, the Night Charm's face and neck were not wrapped in the Night Charm Robe.

Why did Lu Ran know this so clearly?

Because he had personally worn this set of Night Charm Robes...

Um... soft and quite comfortable.

As for how to inflict effective damage on the Night Charm Clan, Lu Ran had come up with a theory:

Either go for their hands.

Or lift their veils!

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

In an instant, the seven erratically dancing Night Charm Blades fell apart like kites with broken strings, scattering everywhere.

"Uh..."

The Night Charm issued a strange sound, desperately gripping the Silent Night Blade.

It was evident she was exerting force, with her palms slashed by the blade edge, blood flowing down unrestrained.

Yet, Lu Ran held the hilt tightly, unwavering.

He was not only using Evil Sensitivity and Evil Sense throughout but also activating Evil Technique·Soul Splitting Power!

On the premise that both parties' realms were similar, Lu Ran's overwhelming strength was not something the Night Charm could contend with.

"Puh~"

The Night Charm suddenly shattered into mist, even the previously flowing blood transformed into wisps of energy, dissipating with the wind.

Beneath the moonlight, beside Crescent Lake.

Two twirling black shadows had been reduced to one.

His expression dark, he performed a flourish with his blade and mist rose again from beneath his feet.

"Zhi—"

The dark shadow swept over the lake surface, and a weak bleating sound once again reached the forests:

"Meeeh~"

"Hisss..." Xiao Yusong drew a sharp breath.

That grade-lowered Divine Technique·Desolate Sound couldn't affect the dedicated believers.

However, that wail of the lamb to Xiao Yusong's ears sounded so harrowing!

It was eerily similar to the whispering voice of Evil Demons.

"He's gone mad, damn it!" Lang Zhixuan clutched his head, his scalp tingling, "Pure martial arts...

Pure blade confrontation, hard-contending with Night Charms!

Why doesn't Lord Beifeng see value in him? What reason is there not to want him?"

Xiao Yusong whispered, "I heard from Guan Yiren, in terms of Worship God, Lu Ran is the same as me."

Lang Zhixuan wore a shocked expression: "He too rejected a First-class God and deliberately went to worship Immortal Sheep?"

Xiao Yusong's expression became strange: "Not quite.

Apparently, Lu Ran rejected Evil Demon·Yan Paperman and then went to worship Immortal Sheep."

Lang Zhixuan's mouth gaped, his mind buzzing.

Indeed, there will always be someone better!

He had thought that his own brother's rejection of a First-class God to humbly join a lesser sect was legendary enough.

Who would have thought, there'd be someone even bolder?!

The deity Lu Ran worshipped wasn't even within the ranks of the divine...

Had he actually attracted Evil Demons?
