The Old Gods

Chapter 829 Asking About the Past

"call!!"

Yin Yan, with a pair of black mist tiger wings sprouting from her back, attacked Lu Ran directly.

The speed of the Yin Li Hu clan was no less than that of Bei Feng-Ye Mei. Lu Ran tensed up and suddenly stepped back to block.

"Ding!"

The Lovesick Sword and the Cool Night Sword clashed fiercely, producing a piercing sound.

Yin Yan's expression changed slightly, and she felt a numbness in her hand, almost causing her to drop her divine sword.

This young man has incredible strength!
Just as Lu Ran was about to retaliate, two streaks of black mist suddenly shot out from the pair of Yin Yan tiger wings and lashed fiercely at his face.

Tilting his head, he took a step back.

In a very short time, Lu Ran moved in one smooth motion, tilting his head to dodge the first whip and then flying backward to avoid the second.

The moment Lu Ran's toes touched the ground, he suddenly darted forward.

It is impolite to come without giving anything in return!

"Whoo~"

A sudden gust of wind and waves surged.

Yin Yan's pair of black mist tiger wings didn't flap at all; he flew backward and upward.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged blows and separated by a distance of more than ten meters.

"Impressive skills." Yin Yan's tone was as cold as her eyes.

Lu Ran looked up at the woman standing in mid-air, remaining silent.

He knew that he was part of the Great Xia God and Demon System, and the gods and demons stationed on this land had an "Eastern flavor".

Swordplay, martial arts performer, lanterns, and divination sticks.
To give just a few examples, these deities, from their appearance to their techniques, are all full of Eastern charm.

Of course, there are some individual gods and demons whose oriental characteristics are not obvious, but they are absolutely inseparable from the culture nurtured on this land.

I really don't know if this is a coincidence or if there is some inevitable connection.

Lu Ran doesn't feel anything unusual when fighting against most enemies.

Today is different!

Her gloomy personal image really resembles a fallen angel from the West!

A pale face, jet-black eyes, long, ink-black hair reaching to her calves, and wings shrouded in thick black mist.
This inevitably made Lu Ran think a little more.

In the Great Xia region, there is the Holy Spirit Mountain and the Heavenly Battlefield.

I imagine that other countries and regions in the world also have their own Holy Spirit Mountains and celestial battlefields.

Lu Ran absolutely did not believe that believers in other regions were living well. At least in the human world, evil spirits were invading all over the world every month without fail.

I wonder if the external enemies on the celestial battlefields in other regions are also the Faceless Jade Venerable?
What is the situation on those battlefields?
Did they also struggle and achieve a balance, just like on the Eastern front?
Once, a faceless jade deity threatened Lu Ran, demanding that he kneel at her feet. Sensing Lu Ran's resistance, the faceless jade deity uttered a peculiar remark:
"You don't have much time."

Lu Ran wasn't sure whether it was a psychological tactic employed by the Faceless Jade Venerable, or whether she had truly made breakthrough progress in certain aspects or areas.
"Clap! Clap! Clap"

"Boom!"

Lu Ran dodged lightly, eventually falling into the thick sea of ​​fog.

Under the lash of the fine black whip, the stone peak shattered into pieces.

"What kind of person is she?" Yin Yan suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Lu Ran was taken aback, naturally knowing who his opponent was referring to as "she".

At that very moment, Yin Yan charged straight at them.

The Yin Li Hu clan's flying speed is simply too fast!

With this movement, her messy long hair was "tied up" by the wind and waves, and it floated diagonally backward, like a smooth, dark silk ribbon.

It also fully revealed her pale and beautiful face.

What a sick tiger! How sinister!

The whip arrives before the person!
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Countless long whips of black mist emerged from behind Yin Yan, lashing the young man in the straw raincoat wildly.

If you are even slightly grazed by the Yin Li Whip, it's not just a matter of your skin being torn open; it will make your soul tremble!
However, what happened before our eyes...
Yin Yan was astonishing!

She didn't know what kind of person the young man in the straw raincoat was, that he could dodge and weave through such a dense web of whip shadows.

Even now, she doesn't even know which sect or school Lu Ran belongs to!
Is he a martial arts disciple, capable of swaying with the wind?
wrong!

The martial arts style's power-based techniques are contained within the ultimate move, "Double Heroes' Face Mask - Mighty Black Face," and the young man in the straw raincoat clearly did not unleash his ultimate move.

Moreover, judging from the way the young man in the straw raincoat dodged, he was not a feather being pushed along by the divine power fluctuations.

He didn't have the gentle feeling of swaying in the wind; instead, his movements were exceptionally swift!
Could this be a follower of the mountain king?
Is this terrifying agility purely the result of training?

"Roar!" Yin Yan shouted sharply.

The Yin Tiger Roar from the Yin Li Tiger clan can make enemies tremble with fear.

However, the young man in the straw raincoat did not retreat but advanced, as if he was not affected at all. He continued to dodge the dense whip shadows and aimed his sword straight at Yin Yan's face!
"You!" Yin Yan instinctively flew backward.

"Mea~"

The sudden bleating of sheep caused Yin Yan's expression to change!
The violent rage within him was impossible to suppress, and even his backward flight slowed down.

"呲-"

A mist surged beneath Lu Ran's feet, and he suddenly appeared before Yin Yan.

"Ding!"

The two swords clashed!

Having experienced countless battles, Yin Yan always kept her weapon in front of her, a combat detail she had honed through countless life-or-death struggles.

It was this small detail that stopped most of the enemy's attack.

The young man in the straw raincoat possessed overwhelming strength, causing Yin Yan to drop her longsword, which flew away.

The Lovesick Sword flew out with a "whoosh," but a streak of light imprinted itself into Lu Ran's body the instant the two swords clashed.

He had no time to dodge! First, the opponent caught him off guard; second, the distance between them was too close; and third, the streak of light was incredibly fast. By the time Lu Ran reacted, the streak of light had already disappeared.

Lu Ran even thought he was hallucinating.

"Bah!"

The events that happened in an instant did not stop Lu Ran's diagonal slash. The Acacia Sword was knocked away, and the Cool Night Sword also slashed past Yin Yan, tearing a gash in her Water Flow Armor!
The sword tip tore through her clothes, leaving a shallow bloodstain on her body.

"Hiss!" Yin Yan gasped, her senses returning, and she was forced to retreat diagonally backward by the blow.

At that moment, she truly sensed the presence of death.

Given the terrifying combat skills displayed by the young man in the straw raincoat, would he possibly stop the pursuit?

Perhaps, after all, Lu Ran was infected, but Yin Yan would never joke with her own life.

"call!!"

She decisively shattered into the wind, the endless black whip vanished without a trace, and a gust of demonic wind flew into the sky.

Lu Ran did not pursue them.

To be precise, he was frozen in place, maintaining his diagonal slashing posture!

The stream of light that imprinted itself on his body was not a physical attack, because the water armor did not react at all.

The eerie flow of light was definitely not a mental attack, because even Lu Ran's mental defense techniques could not stop it from taking effect.

Lu Ran slightly widened his eyes, and his lips, hidden behind the blood crystal mask, trembled slightly.

Like a sculpture, it was completely fixed in place.

The Evil Technique: Roar of the Yin Tiger is an attack on the enemy's soul level, delivered through mental output.

You have to be mentally assaulted before your soul is hurt.

The Evil Technique: Yin Li Whip attacks the enemy's soul through physical damage output.

You must first be whipped in the flesh by the black mist whip before your soul is whipped.

That streak of light just now pierced directly into Lu Ran's body, tormenting his mind!

"Whoo~"

In the sky, a demonic wind coalesced into shape, and Yin Yan once again unfurled a pair of jet-black tiger wings, standing in mid-air.

The Lovesick Sword, which had been thrown away, flew back and joined her in watching the young man in the sea of ​​mist.

The fierce battle that had just taken place came to an end.

Yin Yan reached out, her pale fingers tracing the gleaming blade of the sword:

"This sword does not cut the flesh, but only inquires about the past."

Lu Ran slowly straightened up, raised his hands to cover his eyes, and didn't need his opponent to explain; he was already being interrogated.

Do you feel any regret?

Is there any obsession?

Is there an unfinished business relationship?

Lovesick Sword - The First Divine Weapon Domain - Asking About the Past!
"Buzz!!" The Liangye Sword trembled violently, as if reminding Lu Ran to pull him back from his reverie.

Yin Yan remained silent, carefully sensing the changes in this world.

The emotions of a powerful being in the Heavenly Realm can certainly influence the surrounding environment, and may even enslave weaker creatures, preventing them from having their own emotions and forcing them to drift with the tide.

[Lu Ran.] Suddenly, a clear, cold voice entered my mind.

【Ah!】Lu Ran suddenly woke up, like a drowning person who had grabbed a lifeline and was pulled out of the lake, gasping for breath.

"I'm here," Jiang Ruyi said softly.

"Hmm," Lu Ran lowered his hand, his eyes downcast.

Regret? No.

Her obsession was indeed very deep. It's just that the figment of her imagination is located within the sculpture park.

The unfinished bond remains deep in my mind, accompanying me on my journey, together writing the unfinished story.

"That's it?" Lu Ran raised his head and looked at the woman standing in mid-air.

Yin Yan's face turned icy cold as she said in a chilling voice, "I misjudged you. You are not as deeply in love as I thought."

"Why be so arrogant?" Lu Ran looked at her from afar. "My story is not tragic."

"Heh." Yin Yan let out a cold laugh. It was hard to imagine that someone who had ventured into the Heavenly Realm alone could utter such words.

"call!!"

She suddenly raised her longsword, and bursts of energy surged forth.

Immediately, countless transparent sword shadows enveloped the entire arena like a fine rain.

The sword shadows didn't actually pierce down; they were more like drizzling rain drifting in the wind.

Step forward, turn sideways, tilt head.
Once again, Yin Yan saw that leisurely figure amidst the meticulous attacks.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran reached out and gently touched the falling sword shadow beside him.

Upon contact, Lu Ran's dodging figure actually stopped.

Sorrow falls like rain, longing lingers like the wind.

Lovesickness Sword - Second Divine Weapon Domain - The Most Yearning!
Every sword shadow was trying its best to pull Lu Ran's mind and ignite his longing emotions.

Yin Yan was furious!

Looking at the young man in a straw raincoat bathed in the rain of swords, she shouted sharply, "Are you the Faceless Jade Venerable?"

How can a person be so indifferent?
At this point, Yin Yan no longer hoped that Lu Ran would break down or lose his will to fight.

But you can't just stand by and do nothing!
"Hehe." Lu Ran chuckled, looking up at the furious woman.

Is there a possibility.
I carry the antidote with me at all times.
