The Old Gods

Chapter 894 The Sharpest Spear
At the edge of the sky, a full-length mirror opens.

Lu Ran stumbled out and then plunged back into the thick fog.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran hurriedly waved away the full-length mirror, just as several dazzling sparrows flew over from afar. He immediately waved his hand, "Who is advancing?"

"Reporting to the sect leader, it is General Hua Tian! She is inside the sea cliff cave right beneath your feet."

Hua Qingying?
Lu Ran thought it was Xun Shenjiang or Xiao Yuanxi advancing to the Heavenly Realm. If it was Hua Qingying advancing, that would be the third level of the Heavenly Realm.
It seems that the deity, Hua Chenghua, has indeed been restricting Hua Qingying and secretly sabotaging her.

The reality is this: she had only recently broken free from the control of the gods, and yet she has already achieved results.

Lu Ran still remembered that when he took her as his disciple, he promised that on the first day of June next year, she would ascend the altar as a deity.

It is now early October.

Hmm, I should be able to make it!
Lu Ran thought to himself, feeling quite pleased with himself for having just killed the raging sea flame dragon.

He did not disturb Hua Tianjiang, and with a flash, returned to Tianya Residence.

"Come on, Ruyi, let the storm rage on." Lu Ran collapsed onto the bed.

"Hmm." The evil god responded calmly.

Lu Ran waited for a long time, and the Luoshen General and Caishen General in the garden trembled one after another.

He Yingcai inherited the Bihe-Qiansiying double stone sculpture, which is known for its control. Xiao Ruyi is planning to... uh.

Lu Ran covered his head with one hand; his brain was pounding so hard that he couldn't think straight anymore.

Forget it.

Just lie down.

Lu Ran's eyes gradually glazed over, and he entered a state of mental blankness.

He lay there peacefully, while the gods and demons were furious!
In just over half a month, three evil gods have fallen?!

Ghost Talisman Doll, Ghostly Eye Ghost, Angry Sea Flame Dragon
The first two evil gods perished, which was actually somewhat better. After the Ghost Talisman Doll was slaughtered, some gods and demons might even be laughing at the Jade Talisman.

But when the issue involves the raging sea dragon, everything changes.

Lie Tian - Raging Sea Flame Dragon is the top damage dealer in the God and Demon faction!
On the battlefield of the third heaven, the Fiery Sky minions rode blood-red dragons, constantly supporting the front lines.

Now that the Angry Sea Flame Dragon has perished and the Blazing Sky Minions have no foundation for survival, the defensive line of the entire God and Demon camp has been greatly weakened!
This is just one aspect.

The fundamental problem is that some mysterious beings were able to kill three evil gods in succession without anyone noticing!
The fall of an evil god can be a coincidence.

When the children were separated from their family, they were so badly harmed by the jade talisman that their mental capacity was extremely low; they were just two little crybabies.

The fall of the two evil gods could also be a coincidence.

After all, the Ghost Eye Demon wasn't exactly intelligent; its body was shriveled, it lacked power, and it moved very slowly.

But three died in a row?

Undeniably, none of these three evil sculptures are intelligent; each has obvious flaws.

Even so, the mysterious enemy made three consecutive moves without revealing itself in the slightest!

Silent and stealthy slaughter of gods and demons.
Who is it?

Is there a mole?
Or perhaps on other battlefields, certain gods and demons with special abilities failed to withstand the pressure and betrayed their allies?

How can this be? !
Demotion is the only way to truly be condemned to eternal damnation!
How could the faceless jade deity possibly have the compassion to treat surrendered generals kindly?
How cruel were the methods used when the stone statues joined forces to suppress the Jade Venerable Clan?
They were capable of extreme cruelty and slaughter!

It means to exterminate their clan and their race.
"Uh." Lu Ran slowly woke up and made a muffled sound.

He felt warm all over, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a thick fog.

Lu Ran opened his phoenix-like eyes and saw the girl sitting on the floor, leaning against the edge of the bed.

The private area behind the screen was covered with a soft fox fur carpet, so sitting on the floor didn't feel cold or hard.

This lessened Lu Ran's sense of guilt somewhat.

"Heh." Lu Ran chuckled as he looked at it.

He suddenly felt that the bedroom of Tianya Residence was like his resurrection point.

The younger sister, Xiao Yuanxi, is the doctor in the beginner village.

Each time, he was reborn from the ashes with the help of the physician's evil magic, the Fire Cage.

"Hmm?" Qiao Yuanxi looked in the direction of the voice and asked tentatively, "Brother, you're awake?"

"Mmm," Lu Ran said softly.

Qiao Yuanxi's face lit up with joy, and she blurted out, "The surgery was a great success! You're a boy again now!"

Lu Ran rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Hehe~" Qiao Yuanxi giggled and sat up on the edge of the bed. "This time, did you slay a god or a demon?"

Lu Ran didn't keep them in suspense: "The Fiery Dragon of the Raging Sea."

Qiao Yuanxi was already gripping Lu Ran's wrist, and her small hand unconsciously tightened.

Lu Ran noticed her unusual behavior and said gently, "Your brother isn't stupid. Since he chose to go, he must have made preparations."

Besides, everything is over, and I'm perfectly fine here, aren't I?

"Hmm." Qiao Yuanxi lowered her head and kept squeezing Lu Ran's wrist.

Lu Ran changed the subject at the opportune moment: "How is Yi Ren?"

"She's hitching a ride; maybe she can use this opportunity to advance." Mentioning Guan Yiren, Qiao Yuanxi perked up. "Brother, Sister Yiren wants to join the Burning Sect. Why don't you take her in?"

"Go ahead and take it." Lu Ran smiled.

Just what I wanted!

Qiao Yuanxi hurriedly asked, "What kind of stone sculpture do you plan to bestow upon Sister Yiren?"

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Let me explain it to you in detail so you have a general idea, and then you can discuss it with Yiren."

"Okay."

As Lu Ran recounted the story, Qiao Yuanxi realized that the gods and demons in the first three rows had already been mostly occupied.

There are not many humanoid gods and demons left, but there are still some vacancies for beast-type gods.

The highest-ranking among them is the second-class god-demon: Tianluan-Zhiluan. Among the second-class gods-demon, Dongting's One Body Two Sides - Ziting Demon Peng is also vacant, but Lu Ran clearly stated that he would keep it.

He clearly still harbored a sliver of unrealistic fantasy.

What's left are just a few third-tier gods and demons, and there aren't many left.

"Tsk tsk~" Qiao Yuanxi sighed softly, "I didn't realize until I counted how powerful our Ranmen has become, with so many talented people."

"It's alright." Lu Ran sat up, leaning against the headboard.

"Tch~ You're getting cocky just because I said you're fat." Qiao Yuanxi muttered.

"By the way, your sister Ruyi asked me for someone. She said that after Yiren joins the Ranmen, she will assign her to be a guard."

"Like Sister Xuan Shuang?"

"Ah."

"Tsk~ Their looks are quite well-matched."

Lu Ran laughed and said, "Aren't you angry that Ru Yi stole your person?"

"Sister-in-law, how dare I say anything when she speaks!" Qiao Yuanxi, in a dramatic pose, shook Lu Ran's wrist. "And you shouldn't say anything either!"

If we upset Sister Ruyi, she might not want us anymore.

Lu Ran: "."

Why does this relationship seem like it's some kind of charity from Fairy Jiang?
I'm excellent too, okay?
Hmm. I don't know if Xiao Yuanxi was joking or if it was just her nature.

People often say that it takes a lifetime to heal from a tragic childhood.

Qiao Yuanxi's upbringing indeed made her extremely insecure. Although she seems quirky, mischievous, and loves to act cute, she actually has a bit of a people-pleasing personality.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Should I ask you to bring out your Sister Ruyi and Sister Xian'er? Do you miss them?"

"May I?"

"Of course, but they're both evil gods now."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Yuanxi shook her head vigorously, "Never mind, I'd better go back."

She suddenly remembered the embarrassing situation she had faced when she last confronted the evil god, Xianmo.

The feelings between the two cannot erase the oppressive feeling brought about by their social hierarchy. Xianmo and Fengxian'er cannot play happily with Xiaoyuanxi; they can only make her suffer.

"I'll go first. I'll contact you again after I've discussed it with Sister Yiren."

“Okay.” Lu Ran watched his sister’s figure disappear behind the screen before entering his own mental world.

"No wonder it was so noisy, were you having a meeting?" Lu Ran appeared on the side of the gods, piercing through the thin mist to see the enormous pseudo-god stone statues. "Sure enough people are all here?"

"Young Master is here?" Si Xianxian said in high spirits, "Madam asked me to take on a disciple."

"Oh." Lu Ran nodded.

Now, the Mad Immortal Stone Sculpture has attained divine status and has entered the Hall of Gods and Demons.

As beings of inferior status, false gods can sign a master-servant contract with true gods and thereby obtain the Wrathful Sea Flame Dragon Evil Technique - Dragon Flame Body!
In other words, it's a method of killing enemies of a higher level!
"They've arrived." A clear, cool voice rang out.

The sculpture garden was shrouded in mist, so no one could see Lu Ran. However, Lu Ran could see that Lady Xianmo had raised a huge stone hand and extended a lone index finger.

The meaning is self-evident.

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment, then flew over.

“I left behind a few soldiers, intending for them to worship the evil god, Ghost Eye Demon.”

"Planning to equip the Ghost Eye?"

"Yes, there are still quite a few gods and demons whose mental defenses are somewhat lacking," Jiang Ruyi said calmly. "Things are different now; we have enough offensive power."

On the battlefield of the future, if our soldiers can disrupt the enemy even slightly, that will be enough for us to slay gods and demons.

"That's true." Lu Ran nodded. "I see you've trained the Rainbow God General?"

"This is the result of discussions between me and my soldiers. We need to improve our control."

Lu Ran frowned slightly: "The Shadow Puppet is covered in poison from head to toe, with extremely high defense, and more importantly, it has a very high level of mental fortitude."

After fighting for so long, the situation is now clear.

No matter how dangerous the gods and demons are, or how powerful their techniques are, if one's mind is not strong enough, it's all for naught.

The Burning Gate always manages to create opportunities, seize weaknesses, and eliminate powerful enemies.

The wisp of shadow is neither a naive child nor a mindless beast.

“You’re used to being a challenger.” A rare, faint smile appeared on Jiang Ruyi’s expressionless face. “You haven’t changed your mindset yet, and you don’t understand how terrifying the Mad Immortal Protector’s destructive power is.”

Lu Ran fell silent.

Lady Xianmo is right!
Isn't the reason our side is taking such a huge risk just for that explosive damage output?

Cong Longshi leaned closer and said with a smile, "Sect Master, the reason why Qian Siying's defense is so strong is because of that extremely heavy red dress. It is precisely that red dress that restricts her movement speed."

Slow movement speed means that the Mad Immortal Protector's Piercing Flame could obliterate the Shadow Thread to its core.

“Yes.” Lu Ran nodded emphatically.

What kind of existence is the Evil God Mad Immortal?
She doesn't care how strong your defenses are!

No matter how strong your defense is, can it be stronger than my damage output?

In the Great Xia God and Demon System, there is no strongest shield, only the sharpest spear!

Even the most defensive monk, Jade-Faced Serpent, who can unleash his Golden Body - Immortal Scales, can be shattered if given enough time to protect him!

Lu Ran quietly took flight and landed towards the Rainbow God General.

Although he was small, and the other person's finger was enough for him to stand on, He Yingcai still raised both hands and held Lu Ran in her palms.

"What do you mean, Senior He?" Lu Ran looked up at the goddess statue. "Are you ready to go on the expedition with me?"

He Yingcai smiled gently and nodded slightly: "Cai'er has been waiting for a long time."
