With the Silent Night Blade present, Lu Ran naturally understood everything happening on this side.

He gazed at He Qifeng, who stood high above, and said, "Thank you."

He Qifeng snorted, raising his spirited and heroic face with an arrogant expression.

Dog bastard!

You finally decided to show yourself?

Came pretty quickly, huh!

Seems like this white-robed woman really matters to you, doesn't she?

He Qifeng's gaze swept over the crowd clad in green bamboo clothes and hats, and she clearly noticed that several among them were unusually powerful!

Indeed, Lu Ran hadn't lied—his subordinates did include a few Great Powers of the Sea Realm.

The more she looked, the more envious He Qifeng became.

And as a result, her gaze toward Lu Ran burned even hotter.

If someday, she could recruit the "Ran Dog" under her command, wouldn't her Big Wind Hall soar to new heights?

"Sir!" Dai Tianming's forehead glistened with cold sweat as he made one last attempt to plead, "There really is some misunderstanding here!

We truly don't know anything about this woman's specific identity; all we knew was that she was a Fierce Heavenly Believer. Surely you're aware, the Fierce Heavenly Sect…"

Lu Ran was no longer hearing his words.

His gaze fell upon Si Xianxian.

Since Lu Ran came to Holy Spirit Mountain, it had been nearly half a year; he had fully acclimated to life here.

To prevent nostalgic thoughts, to avoid exposing the fragile side of himself, he had severed his inner connection to the outside world, daring not to dwell deeply on the Human World.

Yet at this moment, Lu Ran encountered someone special.

Someone close enough to stir his memories of growth.

For a fleeting moment, Lu Ran looked through this slender figure and seemed to see countless Si Xianxians.

The one who stood up for him in the Demon Cave's Evil Dog Village, raised her palm, and slapped the bully hard across the face.

The one dressed in a white down jacket, with a pink bunny-ear hat, who stood outside his small bedroom window, cheerfully knocking.

The one clad in a wool coat, wearing black high heels, standing at the train car door, stubbornly refusing to get off and glaring fiercely at him.

The one carrying a suitcase, excitedly tagging along as he ascended Luoxian Mountain, gazing enraptured at the sunset and murmuring how beautiful it was...

The many silhouettes of her in Lu Ran's formative years now coalesced into the woman before him.

Her hair disheveled, in a pitiful state.

Her eyes slightly red, with an expression tinged with grievance.

The lower part of her left leg had several torn gashes, the blood staining her pant leg red, the flesh peeled back to reveal the glint of exposed bone.

The wounds were horrifying.

Lu Ran drew the Eight Desolates Annihilation Blade with his left hand, his right hand gripping the floating Dawn Blade, and pointed them forward:

"Kill."

"Sir!" Dai Tianming's heart nearly jumped out of his chest as he shouted sternly, "I'm the Hall Master of Hidden Wolf Forest! You'd better think this through!

Enemies should be resolved rather than formed! This misunderstanding—"

"The one speaking." Lu Ran crouched slightly, twirling his blade in his hand, "Is mine."

Dai Tianming's pupils shrank abruptly!

"Sss—"

The mist at Lu Ran's feet churned furiously as he darted forward, his wide bamboo clothes fluttering fiercely.

Seeing this sight, Dai Tianming couldn't help but be dumbfounded!

This youth's killing intent was terrifying, his momentum overwhelming—he thought Lu Ran might be some Strong God Believer. But instead…

An Immortal Sheep Believer?

Are you kidding me?

"Sss—"

Lu Ran suddenly accelerated, switching from Second Gear to Fourth Gear, elevating the Stream Divine Immortal Hoof directly to River Grade Immortal Hoof.

Ran Sect Blade Technique First Form·Moon Inquiry!

From Ghost Moon Mountain, taught by the Ghost Moon Fox!

Dai Tianming indeed looked down on the disciples of the Ninth-class God·Immortal Sheep, but among the mysterious bamboo-hat-and-cloak figures, there were still several Sea Realm Great Powers.

He certainly wasn't going to lower his guard.

This sense of tension and vigilance saved Dai Tianming's life!

With Lu Ran's sudden burst of speed, Dai Tianming, aided by the Greedy Wolf Divine Skill·Wolf Perception, reacted instantly.

Greedy Wolf Divine Skill·Wolf Agility further made Dai Tianming's movements particularly nimble!

With his right hand, Dai Tianming wielded a short blade, attempting to block the horizontal slash of the Tang Blade; while his left hand wielded another short blade to forcefully counter-swipe.

The plan was sound, but...

A crisp "Ding!"

Dai Tianming's palm trembled from the shock, a tremendous force traveling through the short blade—shattering it completely?

Where did this youth get such horrifying strength?

But Dai Tianming had no time to ponder; in the blink of an eye, a flash of the blade!

As the Dawn Blade sliced the broken blade, it swung fiercely toward Dai Tianming's neck.

Under the immense force from Lu Ran, Dai Tianming's outstretched arm holding the blade collapsed, folding back onto his own face.

Ironically, this saved his life again!

"Sss!"

The blade struck the armor!

River Grade·Water Flow Armor, functioning under the combined forces of the Second-stage Divine Weapon and Fierce Heavenly Power, was clearly insufficient!

A gash appeared on Dai Tianming's forearm Water Flow Armor.

Consequently, his forearm was torn apart, the wound deep enough to reveal bone!

"AAAAH!" Dai Tianming let out a piercing scream.

As he was sent flying backward, he gritted his teeth through the agony, instinctively activating concealment mode.

Greedy Wolf Divine Skill·Wolf Concealment!

Lu Ran's expression turned grim, relentless as he traced the sounds carried by the wind, summoning Immortal Fog beneath his feet!

"Pop~"

Suddenly, a peculiar sound of bubbles echoed across the battlefield.

It wasn't from Lu Ran's Mo Li Evil Technique but from Yu Changsheng summoning the Praying Rain Carp. At this stage, Lu Ran wasn't ready to expose his secrets before the Wuji Peak crowd.

A淡 golden-hued fish soared through the skies, its prayers bringing down golden drizzles.

Yu Changsheng attuned to the battlefield, unleashed a Dragon Carp Break toward the flanks!

"Roar!"

Among the golden rain, several miniature Canglongs appeared, along with countless suspended water droplets scattering outward.
