The young ladies and gentlemen of Beijing had gone mad with killing.

Lu Ran was having a blast!

He was milking the working class dry, the kind that bloated the mind and gut~

For others, slaying evil demons was about reducing threats and accumulating combat achievements.

But for Lu Ran,

The dead demons were all spritely souls!

The central square was already well-connected, and with the Bright Fire Cages constantly floating in the night sky, they cast a bright glow on both humans and demons.

Such a dazzling sight, how could it not attract more demons to battle?

Lu Ran even, through an invisible earpiece, notified the Moon Gazers in several neighborhoods nearby:

Don't hold back, let all the demons come here!

The gifted students from Beijing University were genuinely there to warm hearts, not to do a show project!

Lu Ran wasn't a leader of the Divine People Bureau, but within Rain Alley City, Lu Tianjiao's prestige was sky-high!

It wasn't an exaggeration to say he had a "call and they would come" level of influence.

Moreover, the command center had also issued orders, requesting all troops to coordinate with Lu Tianjiao in combat.

With that, the pressure on the Moon Gazer squads drastically decreased!

They were still fighting, only now, they allowed the demons to be drawn to the square, no longer pursuing or encircling them.

Lu Ran enjoyed himself even more~

Souls after souls stacked up and crazily rushed into Lu Ran's eyes.

In Lu Ran's mind, the Soul Splitting Demon Evil Sculpture buzzed and trembled again.

"Tsk, another promotion."

Lu Ran murmured to himself as the Soul Splitting Demon Evil Sculpture advanced to River Realm·Fifth Rank!

Sadly, the Soul-splitting Demon Clan had no grand skills to learn after reaching the River Realm.

Just like the Evil Dogs, half a dozen of one and six of the other.

As outstanding as the Lantern Sect~

If the Evil Sculpture reached the River Realm, Lu Ran could indeed create Soul Splitting Demon underlings.

But Lu Ran already had powerful servants like Yan Zhi, Night Charm, and Ghost General.

Summoning a Soul Splitting Demon seemed a bit superfluous?

Hmm... maybe lend it to Ghost General for a ride?

Riding a horse and riding a bull,

Aren't much different!

The greater meaning in developing Evil Sculpture was to enhance the related Evil Techniques in grade.

That was what Lu Ran needed the most!

Demons like Fog Shadow Man, Ghostly Eyes Ghost, and Blood Disaster Dogs were all ready.

Lu Ran could activate them at any time.

But he did not.

In the Mist Realm, Lu Ran could activate one evil demon sculpture.

He chose the Evil Dog.

In the Stream Realm, Lu Ran could activate two evil demon sculptures.

He chose the Soul Splitting Demon and the Black Lantern.

When he reached the River Realm, the activation slots reached five.

Lu Ran chose Night Charm, Yan Zhi, Ghost General, Evil Mirror Demon.

And next month during training, Lu Ran was going to activate Evil Sculpture·Jade-faced Snake!

Now, Lu Ran had reached the River Realm.

The number of Evil Sculpture activations had increased by eight!

Lu Ran was not in a rush to use them up.

Those Evil Sculptures and numerous Evil Techniques were sufficient for Lu Ran to focus his studies on and seamlessly integrate for a long time.

Once he obtained the Jade-faced Snake and paired it with the Purification Skill, his arsenal of skills would be virtually flawless.

Next on his developmental path,

He could adjust to filling out his servant team.

Ever since last time, when Lu Ran went on a mission with Night Charm and Ghost General, he realized a serious issue!

Not every demon could keep up with Night Charm's pace!

Lu Ran still remembered, such a big Ghost General, miserably squatting by the lake, like a 300-pound baby.

Fame and self-esteem...

Were all trampled by Night Charm!

Of course, it was mainly because Ghost General had no horse...

If taking Night Charm as the standard, assembling a servant team, he had to be very selective.

The Barbaric Woman was a true weapon of mass destruction!

Niu Zhengzheng became fierce as a bear, also lasting a long while with the Barbaric Woman, eventually using human wit to defeat her.

So in the servant squad, "Big Chang Ying" definitely had a place.

Tangled Silk Shadow was great too.

Sister Tangled Silk with her fiery red lips, a calamity for the country.

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also ruthless at heart!

Dressed in a ragged sexy red dress, standing incredibly stable!

Prison Sky Demon could also be scheduled.

After all, Lu Ran was still dreaming of having "eight hands"...

As for the ready Straw Demon, Ghost Moon Fox, and Bamboo Demons, Lu Ran wasn't very interested in activating them.

Tonight, the possible incoming Evil Demon·Evil Spear Emperor was also added to Lu Ran's servant team roster.

The Evil Spear Emperor was no joke!

Perfect defense, spears raining down.

The key was he was a Human-shaped Demon, extremely intelligent!

Reportedly, his intelligence was unmatched even by humanoid creatures like Night Charm and Ghost General.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

The arch-nemesis of a First-class God naturally had to be top-notch in all aspects.

From this perspective, Evil Spear Emperor was not just a servant, but could also become the leader of the servant squad.

While Lu Ran pondered, he voraciously devoured various evil demon souls.

Too bad, people couldn't see what was happening in another dimension.

They didn't know how awesome Lu Ran felt!

If Forget Spring Believer·Li Rouyin were here, she'd probably grab a string of copper coins and furiously compete with Lu Ran!

"Phew~"

Lu Ran exhaled lightly and shook the Eight Desolates in his hand.

Looking around, corpses strewn everywhere.

Demons from all directions converged on the square, naturally making it a river of blood.

"Black Lantern, Yuansi." Guan Yiren suddenly spoke.

In the night sky, several long swords deliberately avoided the four Black Lanterns.

"I'm on it!" Qiao Yuansi hurriedly said.

Lantern Sect and Black Lantern Clan, arch-enemies!

It was evident the squad coordinated very well, already beyond the "survival" level.

The Beijing squad was not just killing enemies but was also sharing resources!

This was something Deng Tian and others couldn't compare to, they were still at the resistance level.

"Bro, watch me!"

As Qiao Yuansi spoke, a Miao Fire Cage appeared in his hands and soared into the night sky.

The only downside was that this octagonal lantern was a bit slow.

It was one of the few shortcomings of the Lantern Sect—lacking firepower.

But apart from firepower, Qiao Yuansi could almost do everything!

Lighting, purification, defense, marking, healing, control...

Lantern Believers were the kings of support!

Qiao Yuansi had earned his place in the squad, not just by family background.

Wang Ling shouted loudly, "Command, I'm a bit slow...there, done."

Slow,

because the Black Lamp Evil Technique·Yin Fire Cage slowed down the enemies exposed to light.

Done,

because of the Lantern Divine Skill·Holy Fire Cage!

Its glow purified an area, eliminating all abnormal conditions within the region.

Even the smoke released by the Black Lanterns was forcibly dispersed by the light!

The Black Lantern Clan was completely repressed, with no place to hide.

As a River Realm Believer, Qiao Yuansi could have three lanterns at the same time.

In the night sky, a Bright Fire Cage that marked living beings.

One flying towards Wang Ling to purify the area, and a Holy Fire Cage.

Another octagonal lantern, flying straight towards the Black Lantern group.

Qiao Yuansi's thoughts shifted!

The Basic Divine Skill·Marvelous Fire Cage changed its nature, becoming the attack Divine Technique·Blazing Fire Cage!

"Bang!"

The Blazing Fire Cage exploded gloriously.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Black Lanterns triggered a chain reaction, bursting in succession.

Qiao Yuansi immediately turned his head to look at Lu Ran, his eyes sparkling.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran was covering the mouth of Ghostly Eyes Ghost to prevent it from spitting venom.

The Eight Desolates in his hand instinctively swept across its neck.

The mummified body collapsed, and Lu Ran also gave a thumbs up to Little Yuansi.

"Giggle~" Qiao Yuansi's eyes curved into two beautiful crescents.

If Beijing was hell difficulty.

Then Rain Alley City was purely a newbie village.

Worse still, there was a full-level big shot in the newbie village, protected by a divine weapon.

Miss Qiao knew her mindset was off.

But it couldn't be helped!

Beside her brother, she rarely felt any danger.

Qiao Yuansi even fell in love with this place, or more precisely, she fell in love with being by Lu Ran's side.

Mom didn't belong exclusively to her.

Mom belonged to Sword One, to Sword Heaven, to Beijing.

But brother,

Seemed like he could be hers!

"Ran Bro!" Niu Zhengzheng laughed loudly, "Isn't it said that Rain Alley educates every arrogant person?

It's almost eleven o'clock..."

Guan Yiren shouted sharply, her voice icy: "Shut up!"

Niu Zhengzheng's laughter stopped abruptly: "Uh."

Lu Ran just smiled.

He knew Niu Zhengzheng meant no harm.

After all, everyone was wearing cameras; Niu Zhengzheng's words were purely for triggering himself.

So this rash man was just straightforward and couldn't hold his tongue.

Especially after fighting for several hours, with boiling fighting spirit and excited emotions, he spoke without thinking.

"Eh?" Qiao Yuansi suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, then followed her little hand to look up into the night sky.

"Ah?!" Wang Ling's body jolted, his eyes gleaming!

What did he see?

Evil Demon·Evil Spear Emperor?!

Such a rare demon was seldom seen even in Beijing!

Coincidence?

Or a vanguard?

Was the Evil Spear Emperor Clan really going to invade Rain Alley?

Five cameras turned towards the night sky, stunning countless people of Da Xia.

The chat was a deluge!

"Holy shit, why's it so cool? Why?!"

"It's clearly an evil demon, yet dares to claim 'emperor'? Ridiculous, kill its mother!"

"Kill it, Ran General! From now on, you're Emperor Ran!"

"General Ran! If not now, when?"

"General Ran, smash the cup as a signal! Let's revolt!"

Lu Ran was unaware of the turmoil in the live broadcast room; at that moment, his attention was all on the Evil Spear Emperor.

The Evil Spear Emperor appeared like a young man, quite handsome.

His eyes were pure black, without any whites, eerie and terrifying.

He held a golden spear, draped in a magnificent black and gold brocade robe, his long hair tied up, sporting a dark golden crown.

Imposing!

Overwhelming!

The Evil Demon Clan·Evil Spear Emperor!

"Ran Bro, command!" Wang Ling quickly spoke up, "May I..."

"Go ahead, bro, you take the skull's position." Qiao Yuansi directly commanded.

Wang Ling didn't hesitate and thrust a spear into the night sky!

Divine Technique·Cloud Cutting Spear Technique!

"Clang! Clang! Clang..."

Countless long spears, transformed into a fierce torrent, lunged toward the night sky.

"Hmph." The Evil Spear Emperor snorted coldly, stepping onto a black cloud, soaring across.

Evil Technique·Evil Cloud Stepping Mist!

At the same time, he pointed with his golden spear.

A mass of dark clouds gathered in the night sky, churning violently.

Numerous black mist-formed long spears emerged from the clouds, their tips hanging overhead.

It sent shivers down one's spine!

Evil Technique·Evil Cloud Spear Technique!

This was the Evil Technique adapted by the Evil Spear Emperor Clan in River Realm·Third Rank.

Due to the black clouds spreading and flowing unpredictably, it was difficult to define at first glance whether this technique was Jiang Grade or River Grade!

Qiao Yuansi's expression changed: "Dodge, quick—ugh."

A figure appeared with the mist, flashing by.

Before Qiao Yuansi could finish speaking, Lu Ran had already scooped her up and dashed to the edge of the square.

In an instant, the two had left the area covered by the dark clouds.

She reached out her little hand to touch her abdomen, grabbing her brother's arm.

Qiao Yuansi ordinarily never cursed.

But at that moment, a loud scream echoed in her heart:

What the fuck is called SECURITY?!

Goodbye, Mom.

Goodbye, Immortal Scenic Garden.

From now on, I'm a Rain Alley person...
