"Is he... is he dead? Is the Thin Dog dead?"

"He's dead, he's dead, we won! We won!"

"Damn, holy shit! A River Realm Believer slaying a River Realm Demon Monarch?!"

"It's a River Realm Third Rank who brutally killed a River Realm peak, okay!"

"Ran Dog! Ran Dog! Ran Dog!"

"River Realm peak? Demon Monarch? TMD, show your health bar! Decide once you see whether I step up or not~"

"Why has Lu Ran frozen? He's not moving—is he hurt? No!"

The live chatroom erupted in jubilation while Lu Ran stood quietly by the street corner, gazing down at the Silent Night Blade.

The Silent Night Blade, made of obsidian material.

It was entirely black, with mysterious deep purple patterns adorning it.

Only under the sun's rays would Lu Ran see a deep purple glow emanate from the blade.

But now, on this stormy night, the Silent Night Blade was uniquely beautiful, its mystical patterns quietly lighting up, shimmering radiantly!

"Indeed, you were waiting for an opportunity."

Lu Ran suppressed the joy in his heart, held the blade in front of him, and scrutinized it closely.

Slaying the River Realm Demon Monarch was a vivid stroke on the path of climbing higher!

"Buzz!!"

The Silent Night Blade trembled violently, splashing droplets all around, as if responding to its master.

At this moment, everyone realized something was amiss!

Ge Bin was quite surprised, and approached from behind Lu Ran: "Lu..."

He had just begun to speak when he suddenly looked up.

The thunderstorm had already been breathtaking enough.

Yet, layers of mist emerged, spreading across the night sky.

A sign of the heavens?

Obviously, it was a precursor to the Divine Weapon's upgrade!

Lu Ran seemed oblivious, completely engrossed in his own world.

He examined the blade over and over, gripped the hilt firmly, his thoughts churning wildly.

The blade is an extension of the Sword Holder's thoughts.

It is a physical representation of the Sword Holder's spirit!

The Silent Night had struggled so hard to ascend, how could Lu Ran lag behind?

In a very short time, he had entered the realm of "Heart and Sword Unity," propelling Silent Night forward at a great pace.

"Silent Night, Silent Night..."

"Silent Night is the name I gave you, and also the path we tread together."

"On every fifteenth night, wherever we go, the evil of the world yields, and all returns to silence."

"Buzz!!" The intense vibration of the blade was the best response to Lu Ran.

"You can't upgrade the Divine Weapon in the city center." Ge Bin, noticing more and more mist in the night sky, couldn't help but speak up in reminder.

Lu Ran came back to himself and turned to look at Captain Ge.

Just as Liu Yunlan approached, Lu Ran finally saw her true face.

She was tall and slender, dressed in a black raincoat, and beneath the hood was a beautiful face.

Her expression was solemn, carrying an aura of authority:

"I'll accompany you to the outskirts to help you upgrade the Divine Weapon."

As she spoke, a branch of the blue wutong tree poked out from her wide sleeves and wrapped around Lu Ran's waist.

Liu Yunlan looked toward Ge Bin and said, "You continue to station here, and explain the situation to the command center."

"Yes!" Ge Bin nodded immediately.

It seemed that Liu Yunlan's rank was a bit higher than Ge Bin's?

"Let's go." Liu Yunlan tugged the branch tied around Lu Ran's waist.

Her "Let's go" sounded more like a command to proceed...

"Thank you, Senior Liu!" Lu Ran did not refuse this kindness.

He had experienced a Divine Weapon upgrade before and knew well that the celestial phenomena would attract numerous Evil Demons.

Looking back at the previous upgrade of the Dawn Blade, he was grateful for the Big Nightmare's help which had provided Lu Ran with a relatively stable environment.

Otherwise, the Dawn Blade might not have succeeded.

"Huh~"

Lu Ran dared not delay, gripping the Silent Night Blade in one hand and the Cold Night Sword in the other, he flew straight into the night sky.

Meanwhile, in the Rain Alley's West River.

On a street dimly lit by a yellow street lamp, a young girl wrapped with a golden rune stone ring on her waist suddenly stopped walking.

"Little Jiang?" Sun Zhengfang was the first to ask.

The young girl slightly lifted her head, her eyes brimming with excitement.

Through the Cold Night Sword, she already knew everything.

"What's wrong?" Sun Zhengfang quickly stepped forward, only then noticing Jiang Ruyi's thrilled expression.

Involuntarily, Sun Zhengfang's heart stirred, and he tentatively asked, "What about Lu Ran?"

There was no need for Jiang Ruyi to respond, as all the Moon Gazers in Rain Alley City had received the command center's notification:

"Here's an announcement: the Demon Monarch has been slain!

Repeat, the descended Demon Monarch has been slain by our warriors!

All units hold your positions and continue your duties, midnight is approaching, do not take it lightly."

"Good! Good!!"

"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!"

"Well killed!!" Suddenly, cheers erupted from the streets and alleys of Rain Alley City.

Compared to the civilians in the city, the Moon Gazers were fewer in number.

Although they were few, the noise they made was significant!

Unless one had been in their shoes, it would be impossible to understand just how much pressure and torment the Moon Gazers faced.

The descent of the Demon Monarch! A River Realm Evil Dog!

And an Evil Dog capable of Instant Teleportation, no less!

Every second it existed posed a tremendous threat.

If the Human Clan's great forces were defeated, or if the Evil Dog escaped, no matter where it invaded, the Moon Gazers stationed in that area would have to face it.

Using their lives to fill the gaps!

Including the entire Rain Alley City, everything the Moon Gazers protected—families, friends... could be easily destroyed.

Now, the Demon Monarch was defeated?!

"Hahaha!" Sun Zhengfang slapped his forehead, his hearty laughter incongruous with the creepy night.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating Sun Zhengfang's ecstatic face:

"I told you so! This lad not only slaughtered his way through the Night of Ghosts but also dealt with the descended Demon Monarch! Hahaha!"

Who knew, moments earlier, someone was slapping their own face, cursing themselves as an unluck...

"Uh-huh." Even the typically stern Wei Long showed a smile.

Last July, when he first met Lu Ran, the image was still vivid in his mind.

At that time, Lu Ran, relying solely on his Immortal Hoof, dodged and weaved through the Bloody Purgatory, dazzling everyone.

At that moment, Wei Long darkly thought that this unique Immortal Sheep Believer might chart a unique path.

Indeed, it was very different.

In less than a year, Lu Ran had grown to such heights, even qualifying to stand alongside the Human Clan's powers in slaying the descended Demon Monarch.

The joyful atmosphere was transmitted through the cameras into thousands of households.

Although Lu Ran had left the team, the team of three people's cameras were still on.

Sun Zhengfang and others' reactions deeply moved people:

"Has such infectious laughter? Laughing amidst a storm... good job, here's a reward!"

"Ran Shen has a great team captain, huh..."

"And Ran Dog's got a great girlfriend too! Miss Jiang was so worried just now, my, what a beauty, tugs at my heartstrings~"

"Wait, doesn't Lu Ran have a Divine Weapon already? Another one?"

"I can't see anything on Lu Mei's side, it's all fog."

"The Divine Weapon is upgrading, what are you looking at? Can you understand?"

"I thought at first, Ran Dog was just shaking his wrist, playing with us, but this got real..."

Suddenly, Sun Zhengfang's voice came from the screen:

"Little Jiang, Little Lu wasn't injured, right? When is he coming back?"

"He wasn't injured." Jiang Ruyi gently shook her head.

Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long both sighed in relief.

Jiang Ruyi continued, "But, he will have to wait a long time before he can come back, let's continue our mission."

"What do you mean?" Sun Zhengfang's smiling face stiffened, he hastily asked.

Jiang Ruyi showed a light smile, a hint of proud gleam in her eyes:

"Lu Ran's Silent Night Blade, is currently upgrading to a Divine Weapon."

Sun Zhengfang: "What??"

Wei Long also startled, not expecting such a response from a young girl.

Jiang Ruyi gently nodded, confirming, "A senior is accompanying him to the suburban areas."

"Good lad." Sun Zhengfang murmured, "Did he kill the Demon Monarch, kill it glamorously?

Has the Silent Night Blade become a Divine Weapon?"

"Yep." Jiang Ruyi tried to hide the slight joy in her heart, "Cold Night said, it was indeed Lu Ran wielding the Silent Night Blade who personally beheaded the Demon Monarch."

Sun Zhengfang: "..."

Wei Long: "..."

The power of this statement was even more shocking than when they first received the news of the "Demon Monarch's surrender!"

Sun Zhengfang was well aware that inside the Wu Lie Building, two great powers of the Human Clan were stationed.

He naturally had anticipated that Lu Ran would assist the two powers, using some special Divine Technique to pin down the River Realm Evil Dog.

But Jiang Ruyi said...

That the descended Demon Monarch was personally slain by Lu Ran?

Are you kidding me?!

Sun Zhengfang was gaping, foolishly tilting his head back, gazing at the distant sky as if searching for celestial phenomena.

Sun Zhengfang did not realize that his expression was being furiously screenshotted by viewers.

In the future, it was bound to spread like wildfire on the internet.

Are you kidding me?.jpg

The reason people were particularly watching this trio was because Lu Ran's camera was shrouded in dense fog, revealing nothing.

However, people could still hear voices: "Focus on upgrading, leave the rest to me."

"Yes! Thank you, Senior Liu!"

Lu Ran thanked again and once more arrived at the eastern outskirts of Rain Alley City, near the forest.

This was where his Dawn Blade had upgraded.

This glorious tradition must continue!

Lu Ran clenched the Silent Night Blade, raising it high.

The fog that crazily surged between heaven and earth started spinning on its own, forming swirling fog tornadoes.

And because of the heavy rain, the fog tornadoes turned into water tornadoes, enveloping both the man and the blade.

Not far behind Lu Ran, a huge wutong tree sprang from the ground, its lush branches wildly lashing around, also enveloping Lu Ran within.

With the branches providing shelter, no rain fell on Lu Ran, just dense fog!

"I... I'm going..." Lu Ran couldn't help but tremble as he spoke.

During the earlier fight, he had spent a lot of Divine Power.

But at this moment, in just an instant, Lu Ran's body was filled with violent energy.

"Buzz!!"

The Silent Night Blade vibrated more intensely, and Lu Ran almost couldn't hold it.

Lu Ran focused intently, guiding the weapon in his hand.

Come, Silent Night.

It is time!

Time to gather the Artifact Spirit and open your eyes.

This world's fifteenth night, you also find it noisy.

Right?
