"Tan Dong!" Zhang Xiqing exclaimed in shock.

The companion who had been by her side day and night, the one who had just said, "We have an absolute speed advantage," was now dead under the bamboo clothes man's blade in the very next second.

Zhang Xiqing's expression turned extremely grim.

The mysterious figure with the bamboo hat and bamboo clothes in the distance… Could it be an Evil Dog Disciple?

In terms of speed alone, East Thunder believers could indeed pride themselves above others.

But being fast only applies to displacement, whereas Evil Dog Disciples possess actual teleportation!

"Ah!" Zhang Xiqing suddenly took a step back.

Because the bamboo clothes man slowly raised his head, and under the wide brim of his bamboo hat was a pair of chillingly cold eyes.

Zhang Xiqing: !!!

She was overtaken by a sudden realization!

Perhaps Luo Tiantu was right after all.

Tiantu Mountain truly hadn't offended other powerful factions.

The battlefield's Ash disciples, Dragon Carp believers, Lie Tian disciples… All of them had been brought by this Evil Dog Disciple!

From the beginning to the end, Luo Tiantu had provoked only one single person?!

"You also enjoy muddying the waters."

Lu Ran's expression was dark, a trace of eerie crimson flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Xiqing felt her vision blur and fell suddenly into a crimson-colored world.

Countless crimson threads wove wildly, cruelly piercing through her flesh and bones.

"Ah! Ahhh!" Zhang Xiqing's face distorted, and she gripped her head tightly with both hands.

This is… Silk Pupil?

How could it be!

Isn't he an Evil Dog Disciple?

Various thoughts flashed through Zhang Xiqing's mind in an instant, but she was already in too much pain to think clearly.

Lu Ran's figure flickered, and the Dawn Blade slashed down violently.

Ran Sect Blade Technique Third Form·Shuo Star!

"Zzzlaaa…"

The Dawn Blade tore through two layers of Zhang Xiqing's armor in succession.

One was East Thunder Sect's defensive Divine Technique·Thunder Armor, the other was the common Divine Technique of Human Clan believers·Water Flow Armor.

Under the impact of the Evil Technique·Silk Pupil, both armors were clearly unstable.

The sharp Dawn Blade, coupled with Lu Ran's terrifying Fierce Heavenly Power, not only shredded the armor but slashed into the woman's body, carving a long, deep wound into her back.

The wound was so deep that bone could be seen!

"Ssss~sss~"

Facing imminent death, Zhang Xiqing erupted with an astonishing will to survive!

Her body crackled with electricity as she stumbled sideways, her legs trembling from the agony.

"Szz—"

Immortal Fog sprayed from underneath Lu Ran's feet, and his figure traversed rapidly.

Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Hoof of the Immortal Sheep Sect couldn't compare with East Thunder Sect's swift light flashes.

But now, with the East Thunder female believer's spirit shattered and her body feeling as if pierced by a thousand needles, though her legs trembled, how could she possibly achieve maximum speed?

"Wah!!"

Lu Ran chased from behind, letting out yet another ear-piercing scream.

Invisible soundwaves spread in amplification, enveloping the East Thunder female believer's retreating figure.

O people of the land, hear this song from the depths of the sea!

But then again, could such sharp, grating cries even be called a "song?"

Well… Yes!

If it can kill an enemy, then it's a song.

A battle song!

"Ah!" Zhang Xiqing suffered another mental blow, her mind instantly becoming muddled, her spirit dazed.

Her feet stumbled beneath her...

"Szz!"

The blade pierced the skull.

Lu Ran gripped the Eight Desolate Blade and plunged it into the back of the woman's head, carrying her forward until it embedded her into a large tree.

"Thud," a muffled sound echoed.

The giant tree shook violently, its bark and wood splinters flying.

The East Thunder female believer became one with the tree, lifeless.

"Heh… Hah…" Lu Ran's chest rose and fell as he panted heavily.

Deng Yuxiang had previously declared she would handle these two.

Because East Thunder Sect counters Evil Dog Clan, and Lu Ran depends wholly on Evil Technique·Evil Recognition to survive...

Yet now, both East Thunder believers lay decapitated.

"Szz!" Lu Ran pulled out the Eight Desolate Blade, flicking off the blood staining its edge.

Countermeasures? What a joke!

Must I truly be a dog?

Activating ten or more statues, you think such scoundrels could counter me?

Evil Technique·Evil Recognition, activate!

In an instant, Lu Ran felt his connection with the surrounding world return entirely.

It was an illusion of omniscience and omnipotence.

The wind blew, the grass swayed, the leaves trembled...

Ah~ Now that feels good!

Lu Ran closed his eyes to savor the moment, a satisfied expression on his face.

Being a dog really does feel better...

"Boom!!"

Distantly to the west, a fierce explosion resounded.

Lu Ran released the Dawn Blade, letting it float beside him, as he reached for his chest. From within his embrace, a Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd instinctively flew out.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

Lu Ran stepped towards the western side, drinking deeply as he walked.

As for the souls of the believers, he wasn't in any rush to collect them.

The dead souls linger on the battlefield for a while before ascending to the sky.

Including the dead souls of those Jade Talisman Sect disciples earlier, Lu Ran hadn't absorbed them out of caution—fearful of any buzzing interference affecting his combat.

Meanwhile, far to the west in the forested hills.

At this moment, there was no forest left, as the ground had already transformed into the flowing tides of the Flowing Sand River.

Luo Tiantu had initially hoped to use his flight advantage to hinder pursuers' steps with the relentless quicksand.

But both pursuers could fly!

The Night Charm disciple was expected, but as for the Ash believer, she must undoubtedly possess a Divine Weapon, enabling her flight.

"Pff!!"

A ferocious sea of flames surged, igniting and incinerating countless miniature Canglongs, which evaporated into dense mist.

"Great Powers, let's talk!"

Luo Tiantu cried out desperately, hurling a Bursting Flame Talisman as he fled in disarray.

The disheveled figure, blood streaming from his mouth, was miles apart from his previous lofty, domineering demeanor!

There's no denying that Jade Talisman Sect believers are incredibly hard to kill!

With mastery over four different techniques, Jade Talisman disciples can counter various sects.

Previously, Lady Kong used a Frost Talisman to freeze the small Canglong that Luo Ying shot out.

And now, Luo Tiantu used a Bursting Flame Talisman to incinerate and dissolve these small Canglongs.

"Whoosh!!"

A gusting gale struck.

Deng Yuxiang flew ahead on Luo Ying's left flank, raising her hand to sweep away the flames sweeping across the night sky.

Luo Tiantu hurriedly activated the Jade Talisman Formation to absorb the flames with its Bursting Flame Talisman.

At this moment, the Village Chief of Tiantu Mountain had been hunted to the point of terror.

Being relentlessly pursued by a Sea Realm·Night Charm disciple was already enough to overwhelm him.

Yet only moments into the chase, a Sea Realm·Ash believer joined in?

And worse, the Ash Sect wields the Divine Technique·Canglong Sea Domain!

Within this domain, all abnormal statuses afflicting targets are completely cleansed.

In other words, Luo Tiantu's Electric Shackles Talisman, Frost Talisman, and similar techniques had been rendered entirely useless.

He couldn't paralyze; he couldn't freeze!

"You two!" Luo Tiantu shouted loudly.

The ever-looming sense of mortal danger made even his cries tremble.

"What's all this noise about?" Deng Yuxiang's voice was icy as she extended another hand.

"Whoosh~whoosh~"

A flurry of Night Charm Blades rushed forward at staggering speed, accompanied by terrifying sounds of splitting air.

"What could Luo possibly have done to provoke you esteemed Great Powers to such hostility?" Luo Tiantu roared, desperate, "Luo bears neither enmity nor grudge against you..."

"Twang!"

The vibration of bowstrings echoed, filling Luo Tiantu with utter dread, cutting his plea short.

He fled rapidly, throwing a Bursting Flame Talisman in the direction of the incoming arrow.

"Neither enmity nor grudge?" Deng Yuxiang scoffed coldly.

Her left hand fell naturally to her side, her fingertips playfully dancing across something unseen.

The Night Charm Blades dispersed swiftly, spinning and circling with an abnormal agility, striking from every angle.

"When… when have I ever offended you?!" Luo Tiantu was both startled and infuriated.

He scattered the Golden Jade Eight Talismans around him, transforming them into massive Golden Jade Shields, ten meters in size, to fend off the assaulting Wind Blade barrage.

Deng Yuxiang lifted a hand high.

The Divine Power Bead Chain adorning her neck lit up instantly, infusing her with an accelerating surge of Divine Power.

In the night sky, yet another colossal Wind Blade rapidly took shape.

Luo Tiantu: !!!

All this time, he had refrained from diving into the Flowing Sand River, precisely out of fear of this scenario.

The Jade Talisman Sect doesn't possess perception techniques, whereas Night Charm Clan's renowned Sound Positioning ability speaks for itself.

Should he immerse himself in the surging sands of the Flowing Sand River, he might only notice danger when the blade is already upon him...

What should he do?

The Night Charm Evil Blade spans a full kilometer!

Fleeing beyond its striking range was obviously impossible!

He could only try to evade it sideways.

Like before, dodging laterally!

Even if he managed to dodge now, the subsequent secondary damage would still engulf him like a shockwave, leaving him churned and his energy in disarray.

If he failed to dodge...

"Esteemed Great Power! Surely there's some misunder... Ah?" Luo Tiantu continued to plead, desperately seeking a sliver of hope.

But before he could finish the word "standing," Luo Tiantu suddenly felt a tremendous surge of energy behind him!

"Ah!" Startled, Luo Tiantu twisted his head violently, his pupils contracting frantically!

From the night sky in the rear, a figure stood.

A mysterious man shrouded in mist beneath his feet, adorned in green bamboo clothes and wearing a bamboo hat.

The enigmatic man gripped a blade with both hands, holding it upright before his chest. Terrifying energy rippled forth, whipping his bamboo clothes into a frenzy. Rays of radiant Dawn emanated from the blade!

Luo Tiantu, a being of the Yangyang Sea, found his body trembling uncontrollably.

Divine Weapon Domain?

This level of energy fluctuation... This horrific aura... What kind of hellish Divine Weapon Domain is this?!

"No! Wait, there's a misunder... Esteemed ones, I surrender! I... stop, STOP!!"

Luo Tiantu's panic rendered his words incoherent.

He flailed desperately while flinging away all the Jade Tokens surrounding him, hurling them frantically toward the brilliant Dawn light ahead.

"Pfft!"

The Bursting Flame Talisman made contact with the soft veil first.

A ferocious sea of fire spread expanding, yet the veil of Dawn danced freely through the flames, pressing forward without hindrance.

The Quicksand Talisman followed suit, bursting countless streams of sand, only to be incinerated by the veil of Dawn.

The Frost Talisman met an even sadder fate, completely burned away.

Only two Electric Shackles Talismans spiraled gracefully, maneuvering to avoid the elegant Dawn as they homed in on Lu Ran.

"Sss~sss~sss!!"

"Szz!!"

As they approached, Luo Tiantu detonated the Electric Shackles Talismans, unleashing two 500-meter-wide Thunder Balls that expanded with a sudden blaze.

For a split second Lu Ran was encapsulated within the Thunder Balls, his body crackling with electricity, yet…

Only for the lightning to dissipate entirely the following moment.

Beneath Lu Ran's feet, the mist was no ordinary fog—it was the Jade-faced Snake Clan's Purification Skill·Immortal Realm!

Though merely a River Grade purification technique, it had a higher priority level!

Think you can leave me tingling all over?

You'd need to surpass Sea Realm powers to even try!

At this moment, Luo Tiantu's face was painted with the hues of despair; his expression turned ashen.

Before him lay the advancing soft veil of Dawn.

Deadly beauty.

Overhead fell the striking Night Charm Evil Blade.

Encircling him were countless Water Flow Arrows and miniature Canglongs...

From the distant night sky, Lu Ran's eyes shone with brilliance, divinity radiating from his very being.

His luminous gaze locked with the lifeless despair in Luo Tiantu's eyes.

Neither enmity nor grudge?

Open your eyes wide and look at me clearly, Village Chief Luo!

If you can't recognize me, that's fine.

Lu Ran's face remained impassive as he stared at the once lofty and condescending Sea Realm Great Power who had looked down upon him.

In a moment, I'll use Soul Prison and Soul Fire to help you reminisce properly!
