The Yan Zhi of the night sky made the first move!

The Big Red Robe, billowing with the wind, surged towards Lu Ran like a crimson wave.

In front of the skyscraper, the Yan Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

Her face sour, she glanced at her accomplice in the sky, and then fixed her gaze upon Lu Ran, who was dodging below, her eyes brimming with deep resentment.

She outstretched her pale hand and also raised a red tide that enveloped Lu Ran.

"Fuck that!"

Lu Ran cursed inwardly, as Immortal Fog whirled under his feet.

The two Red wedding dresses attacked from above and below, from front and back, an astonishing assault!

The poor little Human Clan member struggled to survive in a crevice, scampering towards the east side.

"Hiss!!"

The two Yan Zhi shrieked sharply, manipulating the trains of their dresses to chase after Lu Ran's fleeing figure.

"What's this?" Deng Yutang was stunned.

Aside from Lu Ran, there was also the Jiang Tian Deng Chang quartet on the vast square!

How could the square be so open?

And how conspicuous the quartet was?

Yet, the Yan Zhi Clan seemed to completely ignore them, even if the Big Red Robe swept over their heads, there was no intention to attack the four.

Everything was as Jiang Ruyi had predicted: In the eyes of the Yan Zhi Clan, there was only Lu Ran!

The soldiers stationed around were also dumbfounded.

Especially the Moon Gazer squad located at the northern side of the square, right by the entrance of the bank.

One of the Yan Zhi hovered right between the characters "Industrial and Commercial," at a very close distance.

Both the four humans and the lone monster were aware of each other's presence, even exchanging glances!

But after scanning the battlefield, the Yan Zhi completely ignored the group of Moon Gazers.

She headed straight for the square, presumably after Lu Ran?

"What's going on?" asked a shocked female Moon Gazer.

She had braced herself for a tough fight and was even prepared to make a sacrifice.

The strength of the Yan Zhi Clan was undeniable!

With just Paper Mache Man, they could claim victory from a thousand miles away.

Given a bit of time, a Yan Zhi could crush and grind all beings to death.

Not to mention her overwhelming Red wedding dress, the sleeve containing the universe of Yan Zhi, and the switcheroo of the Paper Substitute.

Such a foe, individually so lethal, with astonishing destructive power, maxed-out defensive properties, and an outrageous ability to survive!

What was more terrifying, the Yan Zhi Clan possessed considerable acumen.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say the Moon Gazers would rather face the Prison Sky Demon than combat a Yan Zhi.

"I don't know, maybe Heavenly Pride Lu led the Yan Zhi over there?" a male Moon Gazer guessed.

"Did Heavenly Pride Lu call out? I didn't hear anything?"

"Another one's coming, above! Above!"

The Moon Gazer squad formed their ranks, taking preemptive strikes, while the square's quartet was using every trick they had.

Tian Tian had activated the Sword Lotus Divine Skill·Lotus Flying Sword early on, releasing a stream of flying swords chasing the Yan Zhi.

Jiang Ruyi was wrapped in golden Jade, constantly tossing out Jade Tokens.

Poor Deng Yutang, unable to fly or launch long-range attacks, could only watch helplessly.

Fortunately, during the Night of Ghosts event for the Yan Zhi Clan, other monsters descended too.

Deng Yutang found his value, slaying invading monsters, doing his best to provide a stable environment for his teammates to attack.

In fact, Deng Yutang wasn't the most pitiable...

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Chang Ying was desperate.

At that moment, she waved a worthless sign, the skill still in its cooldown phase.

A three-minute cooldown may not seem long, but in the heat of battle, every second was agonizingly slow for Chang Ying!

"Come on now!" Chang Ying slapped the useless sign away from her face, looking at the desperately fleeing Lu Ran, she was so agitated that she stomped her foot.

But in the next instant, Chang Ying slapped her own face!

"Slap!"

Chang Ying was truly harsh on herself; even though her skin was dark, one could still see a clear palm print.

This was because Chang Ying was annoyed with herself, realizing her mistake.

In the realm of the Spiritual Talisman Divine Technique, "skill cooldown" isn't something you wait for.

If you don't offer up the Power of Faith, your Spiritual Talisman Divine Technique can remain on cooldown forever!

"Please, I beg of you, great Spiritual Talisman, I won't complain about you anymore, the merciful and trouble-reliever, Spiritual Talisman, please!"

Chang Ying composed herself, devoutly prayed to the gods, and finally made it through the last few seconds of the cooldown period.

She immediately reached out and grabbed a tube of signs.

Five glaring, golden good signs shone brightly, with three ragged wooden signs obscured among them.

Spiritual Talisman Divine Technique·Eight Treasures!

"Rustle rustle~"

"Attack, summon... come out for me!" Chang Ying shook the tube frantically.

She heard a "swoosh" as another ragged wooden sign flew out.

Lucky again?

Chang Ying's eyes bulged with a slate-blue hue!

She, who never swore, uttered a word: "Fuck!"

In the distance, Lu Ran was being chased by no less than four Yan Zhi!

Red robes like surging waves, towering high.

The tiny Human Clan, like a small boat tossed in a storm, seemed ready to capsize at any moment.

"Ah!" Chang Ying stomped her foot in fury, hefted her big axe, and joined Deng Yutang's team.

She had no time for self-pity; she could only do her best to be useful, protecting the key attackers Jiang Ruyi and Tian Tian.

The Spiritual Sign Sect, indeed full of uncertainty.

Whether it's god-tier or trash, it all hinges on a single sign.

After all, once Chang Ying drew an attack sign...

No joke, that chain of golden signs was faster and more lethal than Tian Tian's Lotus Flying Sword!

But alas, there are no ifs on the battlefield.

"Ranbao, hang in there, Ranbao!"

Chang Ying murmured in her heart, tossing her head furiously, she tried to be patient and continued to pray to the Spiritual Talisman.

"It won't hold!" Jiang Ruyi's expression deteriorated.

She was outputting with all her might, trying to hold back the Yan Zhi, but the opponent completely ignored her.

Including Tian Tian's Lotus Flying Sword, they were either slapped away by the Red wedding dress or sucked into the Yan Zhi sleeve.

Against such attacks, the Yan Zhi targeted by the attack paid no heed to Tian Tian; in their eyes, there was only one unique silhouette.

And at that moment, the frantically fleeing Lu Ran had reached the southeast corner of the square.

"Ugh." Lu Ran, navigating through the crimson waves, suddenly felt his body stiffen.

His pupils shrank a fraction.

Trouble!

Evil Technique·Paper Mache?

Lu Ran himself possessed this technique and knew all too well the terror of the little paper mache.

Whichever Yan Zhi had performed it, Lu Ran was now marked, and his life was in the grasp of one of the Yan Zhi!

"Crack—"

Lu Ran let mist rise beneath him, disregarding everything else, and headed towards the nearest six-storied commercial building.

Divine Technique·Immortal Horn!

Two horns grew out of Lu Ran's head, and he charged straight toward the mall's entrance with a leap.

"Swish!"

The sturdy rolling gate was smashed to pieces by Lu Ran.

Not even the doors at the back were spared, leaving glass shattered all over.

Lu Ran sprinted directly into the pitch-dark first floor of the shopping center.

"Bang!"

"Rumble rumble..."

From behind, the sound of shattering storefronts and collapsing buildings followed.

The destructive force of the Yan Zhi was no joke.

As the red wave swept past, the entrance area of the mall cracked like matchsticks.

"Heh... heh..."

Panting, Lu Ran's chest heaved violently.

That feeling of being toyed with life and death had, at last, vanished.

The effective condition for Evil Technique·Paper Mache was the target must be within the caster's line of sight.

"Crack—"

Underneath Lu Ran, Immortal Fog rose again, propelling him towards a pillar.

Hidden by the fog, he raised a layer of wind beneath his feet and deftly dodged, concealing himself behind the pillar.

At the same time, several Yan Zhi landed in front of the shopping mall.

Amidst a cloud of dust, four beautiful women floated in.

They were identical, down to their suggestive eyes and brows.

Around the square, the other newly descended Yan Zhi finally returned to their normal state.

Unfamiliar with Lu Ran and unaware that the one they longed for was in a mall at the southeast corner of the square, the Yan Zhi engaged in combat with the human guards, their beautiful eyes fierce as they continuously produced Red Dresses and Paper Mache.

"Huff..."

In the darkness of the mall, behind a pillar, Lu Ran took a deep breath and steadied his breathing.

Slowly, he closed his eyes.

The Yan Zhi used their eyes to perceive the world.

In the pitch-blackness of the mall, this was Lu Ran's home turf!

Sniff~

Lu Ran's nose twitched, sensing the Ghost Energy growing stronger.

"Silent Night, it's our turn!"

Grasping the Silent Night Blade tightly, he communicated with it mentally.

The Silent Night Blade was quiet and still as if it were an ordinary object.

Under Lu Ran's directive, even the purple patterns on the blade became dull.

"Sssh!"

Hidden behind the pillar, Lu Ran suddenly slashed across with his blade.

A Yan Zhi gliding forward, just passing the column, was decapitated in a swift stroke.

Efficient and precise!

The Yan Zhi, already having impaired vision, on top of the extremely sudden event, didn't see it coming.

The astonishing defensive power of the Red wedding dress couldn't protect her neck.

An exquisite phoenix crown atop her head thus separated from her body.

The commotion captured the attention of the remaining three Yan Zhi instantly.

"Huff!!"

"Rustle rustle!" The hem of the Red Dress swept in from every direction.

Every showcase along the way shattered, the cracking sound unending.

Clothes, jewels, cosmetics, along with the Red Wedding Dresses, all swept towards Lu Ran's location.

What was all this?

A dowry?

"Sssh—"

Lu Ran's figure flitted between, hastily escaping from the scene.

He then stopped casting spells right away because the sound of Immortal Fog was quite loud too.

Sniff~

Lu Ran sought to scent the Ghost Energy again but detected the pungent smell of perfume.

On the first floor of the mall, the odor was quite strong.

Now, with a variety of make-up products broken and perfume all over the floor, Lu Ran couldn't stand it.

He opened his eyes decisively, and in his line of sight, two Yan Zhi headed straight for where he had just been.

Another Yan Zhi slightly frowned, seemingly pondering something.

Without hesitation, Lu Ran stealthily advanced on the isolated Yan Zhi.

Along the way, he picked up a lipstick from a display shelf and flung it into the distance.

"Plop~"

The two distant Yan Zhi turned towards the sound.

The Yan Zhi in front of Lu Ran also twisted her head to look.

In just a glance, her expression froze completely!

Because she was already face to face with a pair of chilling horizontal pupils.

And not just that—

Those dark Dead Sheep Eyes were also alight with a Black Fire...

Black Lamp Evil Technique·Cage Fire (Yin)!

This was a control skill for single targets; anyone illuminated by the Black Fire would find their movements hindered.

Against the monsters of the River Realm, the skill couldn't pin them in place but could slightly disrupt their actions.

For Lu Ran, however, this was enough!

Rolling fog, the fiery gaze, and the Silent Night Blade that thrust forth ended the life of the Yan Zhi!

"Crack!"

The blade pierced flesh, running through the throat!

The Yan Zhi's eyes widened, her bloodless lips trembling faintly.

"Shh!" Lu Ran's left hand covered the Yan Zhi's mouth.

He took a step forward, pressing her against the column while withdrawing the knife with his right hand.

Blood flowed from her neck, her eyes rapidly losing their sparkle.

"Love me, don't you?"

Their gazes intertwined, their brows pressed close.

This scene, too, was captured by the shopping mall's nighttime surveillance cameras.

In total darkness, Lu Ran whispered into her ear,

"Now, we can be together forever..."
