Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 253: Case 228 is solved...


"Puff~"

The headless body of the Yan Zhi burst into mist.

Lu Ran raised the Divine Power Pearl around his neck and absorbed the wisps of fog into it.

And in a place invisible to others, the soul of the Yan Zhi was also absorbed by Lu Ran into the God Demon Sculpture Garden.

What is meant by leaving no trace behind?

"Is it over?" Jiang Ruyi burst into the room, wearing a headlamp, and quickly checked the surroundings.

"She was under a red veil, and the opportunity was rare, so I went straight for it," Lu Ran, also wearing a headlamp, had not turned it on.

Suddenly, a beam of light hit his face.

Lu Ran squinted his eyes, covering his face with one hand, "What are you doing?"

Si Xianxian then turned her head, using her headlamp to illuminate elsewhere, inspecting the room's decor, "Checking if you are injured."

Li Ming walked in, "Such opportunities are not rare."

"Oh?" Lu Ran's interest was piqued, "Yan Zhi always cover themselves with a red veil?"

"Usually not," Li Ming patiently explained, "But when they occupy a house and rest in it, there is a great chance that they will drape a red veil over themselves."

"I see," Lu Ran nodded.

This clan's characteristic is quite interesting.

Are they that infatuated?

One must know, the Yan Zhi are human-shaped demons not like beast demons with their sharp noses and ears.

Once they cover themselves with a red veil, it's like they've disabled an arm.

I really don't know who they are waiting for.

No, that's not the right term to use.

The Yan Zhi minions are all made from the original statue of the evil demon, their habits deriving from it.

So...

Who is this ideal gentleman that the Yan Zhi themselves are waiting for?

Lu Ran pondered but couldn't think of any kind of demon that dressed as a bridegroom.

"Lu Ran." A man's voice came from outside the door, most likely Li Xin.

"Here!" Lu Ran immediately walked outside.

As he had just stepped over the threshold, he sharply raised his head!

In the night sky, a bright moon hung high.

Against the backdrop of the full moon, a figure draped in a Big Red Robe floated high in the air.

The night wind gently blew her flowing skirt and lightly tinkled her phoenix crown.

And from Lu Ran's angle, the entire figure of the Yan Zhi was encircled by the moon.

Beautiful yet horrifying.

Full of artistic conception!

Lu Ran even thought about taking out his phone to capture the scene.

It was too beautiful.

Apart from the bride's face being a bit pale, there really was nothing wrong with it...Hm?

Lu Ran slightly furrowed his brow as he noticed the Yan Zhi staring intently at him, her eyes void of anyone else.

"What?" Lu Ran was confused.

Before he came out, soldier Li Xin was standing in the courtyard, and Chen Jingjing was on guard atop the roof.

As a demon, upon seeing these two humans, the Yan Zhi should have been filled with a killer intent, not shifting her gaze.

Yet, as soon as he appeared, the Yan Zhi immediately changed her target?

Lu Ran was puzzled; he hadn't performed Divine Technique·Desolate Sound.

Why had her hatred shifted towards him?

"Hiss..."

The Yan Zhi let out a low sound, rushing down from the night sky directly towards Lu Ran.

Behind Lu Ran, a White Jade Stone suddenly flew out.

"Whiz~"

Jade Talisman Divine Skill·Bursting Flame Talisman!

Jiang Ruyi, surrounded by four White Jade Stones, stepped briskly out of the house.

"Whiz!!"

The Big Red Robe worn by the Yan Zhi rustled noisily.

She reached out a hand and stretched her wide sleeve towards the Bursting Flame Talisman.

Evil Technique·Yan Paper Sleeve!

The powerful Bursting Flame Talisman was directly absorbed by the Yan Paper Sleeve.

Like a clay cow entering the sea, there was no further sound.

Not even a spark splashed out!

Lu Ran silently nodded, thinking to himself: Marvelous!

Marvelous indeed!

Such an evil technique should be used by me!

"Humph." The Yan Zhi snorted coldly, flinging the Big Red Robe fiercely.

Evil Technique·Red Wedding Dress!

The hem of the red dress became massive and long, like an overwhelming tide of red waves, sweeping down below.

It seemed she wanted to crush all the humans to bits?

"Heh." Another cold snort came from behind Lu Ran.

Si Xianxian stepped forward briskly, pushing Lu Ran aside, while the giant hammer she held swung fiercely upwards.

A virtual hammer shadow, burning with raging flames, roared into the night sky.

"Boom!"

The fire exploded, and shockwaves billowed.

But that wasn't all!

Si Xianxian swung the Black Luminous Stone Hammer repeatedly.

Her weapon was only two meters, but the virtual hammer shadows she swung extended three meters.

Fierce Heavenly Divine Skill·Bursting Sky Vault!

"Bang! Bang!"

"Boom..."

The Yan Zhi had impressive defensive power against evil techniques.

But today she met her match against a Fierce Heavenly believer with explosive output!

"Die for me!" Si Xianxian gritted her teeth, swinging the hammer with a powerful wind.

I don't care about your Red Wedding Dress!

With me here, you can forget about having your wedding today!

"Crack!!"

Amid the continuous explosions, a particularly grating sound could be heard.

The Red Wedding Dress was blasted apart!

The Yan Zhi was reduced to her original form, still clothed in a dawn blade but no longer an Evil Technique·Red Wedding Dress.

The Yan Zhi do not inherently possess the ability to fly.

As the Evil Technique·Red Wedding Dress was shattered, she plummeted downwards.

Si Xianxian's hammer hadn't stopped!

"Hiss!!"

The Yan Zhi's expression completely changed, furious.

Seeing the virtual hammer shadow flying toward her, she reached out once more.

The sleeve expanded, absorbing three or four virtual hammer shadows.

"Oh my?" Si Xianxian's eyes widened in disbelief, determined not to accept this, swinging her hammer even more fiercely.

The Yan Zhi quickly stabilized her fall and stood aloft in the air.

Her attire remained unchanged, but everyone knew she had initiated the Evil Technique·Red Wedding Dress once again.

"Hiss!!"

The Yan Zhi cried out in desperation.

Finally, she knew to dodge.

The Yan Paper Sleeve could not absorb hammer shadows indefinitely.

If too many were absorbed in a short span of time, it would lead to an explosion if it couldn't hold any longer!

"Die!!"

Si Xianxian squeezed the word through her clenched teeth, her anger growing as she fought.

Lu Ran remained unusually quiet, silently watching the scene.

On the one hand, he wanted Jiang and Si to get some practice.

On the other, Lu Ran was preoccupied with heavy thoughts.

He realized something was very wrong!

The Yan Zhi was locked in a fierce battle with Si Xianxian, yet amidst the critical fight, the Yan Zhi's gaze still occasionally shifted to his direction?

As if she feared he would sneak away.

What was the reason?

We are all human, all flesh and blood, the taste should be similar.

Why did the Yan Zhi only focus on me?

"Swish~swish!"

Jiang Ruyi once again raised her left hand, two Jade Tokens zooming toward the night demon.

The Yan Zhi immediately sidestepped to dodge.

However, this time she miscalculated!

"Boom!"

The Bursting Flame Talisman did not hit the demon but exploded beside her.

The fire suddenly flared, flames rolling.

The Yan Zhi's color drained!

She instinctively reached out to the side, and the red sleeve embroidered with dragons and phoenixes expanded once more.

Fire and explosive shockwaves were all absorbed into the sleeve.

"Sizzle~sizzle~"

Following the Bursting Flame Talisman was the Electric Shackles Talisman!

Unlike the rolling flames, the Electric Shackles Talisman spread rapidly.

Streaks of electricity, like thin snakes, wriggled through the sky; even though some were absorbed by the sleeve, the majority formed an area with a five-meter diameter filled with an electric field.

The Yan Zhi's pupils contracted violently!

Her body trembled, unable to move.

Despite the dawn blade protecting her, currents covered her face and penetrated her clothes.

"Bang!"

The virtual hammer shadow finally smashed into the Yan Zhi's head.

Fire covered the bloody sight, instantly burning away the exploded head.

"Hmph."

Si Xianxian held her hammer, completed a half-turn, and struck the ground forcefully with the handle.

She tilted her chin up slightly, an air of arrogance about her.

"Don't just stand there looking dumb," Lu Ran urged, "Go and absorb that energy.

You throw that hammer around like it's free, how will you survive?"

Si Xianxian, full of herself, responded, "What do you know? This is called the victory scene for the MVP!"

Lu Ran: ???

Actually, before this fifteen-day mark, Si Xianxian didn't understand this either.

Since she watched Lu Ran's performance in "Heavenly Pride," she learned a lot from the barrage of comments.

When Lu Ran single-handedly defeated Night Charm, drawing his blade, stepping back, and flourishing it;

When Lu Ran rescued his comrades, rising from the mire, crying out to the sky;

When Lu Ran killed Tangled Silk Shadow, catching the returning Dawn Blade and wiping the blood-stained blade with two fingers...

Amid the barrage of comments like "Amazing," "Ran Shen," "666," etc., she always saw the phrase:

"Victory scene for the MVP!"

It looked exhilarating!

"Stop showing off and get going," Lu Ran patted Si Xianxian's back.

Si Xianxian's eyes widened in surprise.

Kid, you've got guts, huh?

I don't let my anger out on you, so now you're getting cocky, even daring to hit me?

"The mist has dispersed," Jiang Ruyi spoke softly, simultaneously taking Si Xianxian's delicate hand, giving it a squeeze.

It seemed like a reminder for the boisterous lady to hold back a bit.

Lu Ran looked up at the night sky; indeed, the Yan Zhi's remains were shattered, and her energy dissipated into the world in a short span of time.

In a corner of the courtyard, the Li brothers exchanged glances.

After dealing with two demons in succession, the brothers truly felt that these young people didn't need any protection.

Their trio was well-composed: sufficient output, good control, and they had two Divine Weapons for protection.

They also had the unfathomable Heavenly Pride·Lu Ran!

He had completely eliminated the possibility of a sneak attack by the demons, and he firmly held the Fierce Heavenly Believer in his grasp, to serve his purposes.

What need was there for this team to continue training?

They should be pulled into the military, directly sent on missions, to infiltrate and cleanse the Demon Cave!

"This Yan Zhi's condition seems a bit off?" Jiang Ruyi pulled Si Xianxian behind her and looked toward Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Jiang Ruyi confirmed, "I didn't hear you use the Voice of Compassion."

Lu Ran nodded, "That's right, I haven't used it."

Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly, pondering for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Is it because you once summoned the Yan Zhi on the Worship God Platform?"

Lu Ran's eyes brightened, it was very likely!

At that time, he had summoned the original evil demon!

And all Yan Zhi minions were derived from the evil demon itself.

Meaning...

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran with a deep gaze, "So, what happened on the night of June fifteenth last year when the Yan Zhi took you was no accident.

They all want you."

Lu Ran: "..."
