The Old Gods

Chapter 934 Wrath of Gods and Demons

"Hmm?" Qiao Yuanxi was rummaging through drawers and cabinets in her room when she suddenly noticed a faint mist rising in the air.

This is?

Qiao Yuanxi was overjoyed and quickly ran out of the house.

"Ling ring ring~"

A delicate celestial bell was tied to the girl's ankle, ringing crisply with her cheerful steps.

She soared into the air and arrived at the edge of the cliff before the mist completely enveloped it, where she saw the young man facing west, holding a sword and with his eyes closed.

As expected, Xia Guang Dao advanced!

Qiao Yuanxi's face lit up with joy.

Lu Ran has a total of four divine weapons, which means that Xiao Yuanxi has a total of four "soldier spirit brothers".

Of all the things, her favorite is the Glowing Blade Spirit.

Using the word "bright" to describe a boy's smiling face seems inappropriate, but that's exactly how Qiao Yuanxi felt.

Yunhai Daoling ranks second; that older brother has a free and easy temperament, as ethereal as a fairy.

Xiao Yuanxi is very susceptible to this.

The Lonely Night Blade Spirit ranked third. Although Qiao Yuanxi had never seen this blade spirit, she was certain that she disliked the Eight Desolations Blade Spirit the most.

Fierce!

The Eight Desolate Blade Spirit was filled with destructive desires, its eyes fierce and extremely aggressive. Qiao Yuanxi didn't even dare to look the older brother in the eye.

Hmm. So the Lonely Night Blade Spirit is automatically ranked second to last.

"If it advances further, it will become a third-tier divine weapon." Qiao Yuanxi slowly flew down, guarding Lu Ran from a distance.

[Fourth Rank.]

"What?" Qiao Yuanxi placed one hand on her neck and gently grasped the magic artifact, Tear Star Pendant.

"The sword in my brother's hand is already at the third tier, and it's currently advancing to the fourth tier," the spirit of the Tearful Star whispered.

"Huh?" Qiao Yuanxi looked completely bewildered.

When did the Radiant Blade advance to the third tier?

With a hint of doubt in her heart, Qiao Yuanxi waited silently. In less than twenty minutes, the thick fog that filled the world gradually dissipated.

At that time, Qiao Yuanxi had just slaughtered a group of ignorant Mo Li tribe members and returned safely to the sea cliff.

"Ling ring ring~"

The girl, carrying a magical fire basket, came running eagerly, her sweet voice, accompanied by the clear sound of bells, growing louder as she approached: "Brother!"

Lu Ran suddenly laughed: "Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. What's the next line again?"

Qiao Yuanxi casually remarked, "Dogs run around happily with bells on, huh?"

Lu Ran smiled, pursing his lips.

Unfortunately, he was wearing a blood crystal mask, so the classic expression couldn't be sent.

"You!" Qiao Yuanxi ran up to Lu Ran, picked up the lantern, stood on tiptoe, and stared angrily into Lu Ran's eyes.

After a moment, Qiao Yuanxi asked in confusion, "Why aren't you afraid of me anymore?"

Lu Ran shrugged: "I just advanced with the Radiant Light Blade, and my divinity hasn't completely faded yet, so I can hold out for a while."

Qiao Yuanxi nodded as if she understood, and suddenly blurted out:
"Child, this power does not belong to you."

Lu Ran: "."

Qiao Yuanxi snorted and turned to look at the knife in his hand: "Xia Guang has advanced to the fourth tier? What is the Divine Weapon Domain?"

"This field is extraordinary," Lu Ran sighed softly, running two fingers along the blade.

As his fingertips traced the blade, a vibrant color quietly appeared on the cool, translucent black ice blade.

"Let me see it quickly!" Qiao Yuanxi exclaimed expectantly, and hurriedly stepped aside.

Lu Ran also wanted to try it out. He slowly closed his eyes and said softly, "Tonight, the sunset has not yet arrived."

Qiao Yuanxi was confused: "So?"

Lu Ran suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Qiao Yuanxi looked around and soon spotted a bright light high in the night sky.

Lu Ran's posture was unusual; he bent his legs, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and held the knife at his waist with one hand.

It looks like the starting stance of someone about to charge and draw their sword.

However, the Radiant Blade was not sheathed, which could be improved.

"Wow!" Qiao Yuanxi's mouth opened slightly.

All he could feel was the dazzling glow around Lu Ran's waist, which became even more brilliant and blinding.

It was indeed dark, but the night sky was dotted with stars.

But as the man and his sword gathered their strength, it seemed as if all the brilliance in the world was swallowed up by that small black ice blade.

"呲-"

Lu Ran sprayed mist from beneath his feet and suddenly darted away.

Qiao Yuanxi's eyes narrowed.

She saw a line.

An extremely thin, extremely fast, and extremely bright beam of light!

It sliced ​​across Lu Ran's waist and, as Lu Ran sped away, pierced the night sky.

The entire pitch-black sky was divided in two.

"Tsk tsk~" Qiao Yuanxi sighed softly.

The lines of light and shadow must cause incredibly severe damage.

But, brother, you don't need to go up to the sky to cast a spell, it's just a thin line. Huh?
"Wow!!" Qiao Yuanxi's mouth formed an "o" shape.

That ray of light, as if it were the condensation of countless rays of light to their extreme, was now out of control, bursting forth with blazing flames.

The night sky was originally divided in two by a beam of light.

Now it looks more like a torrent of rosy light, rushing and flowing across the sky.

Its daybreak!

"Brother?" Qiao Yuanxi was startled.

The radiant glow of the sunset illuminated the night as if it were daytime, and she saw a figure fall from the night sky.

Qiao Yuanxi placed one hand on her neck, and Tear Starfall immediately summoned a teardrop-shaped portal.

In the distant night sky, Lu Ran, nearly exhausted, was being supported by Yanxia Silk, and Xiao Yuanxi, who had arrived, was holding his arm.

"Are you alright?" Qiao Yuanxi hurriedly brought him some black fire. "Uh." Lu Ran grimaced; his empty body made him feel terribly uncomfortable.

As expected of a fourth-tier divine weapon!
The Eight Desolations Blade is also a fourth-tier divine weapon, but Lu Ran can handle both the Eight Directions Annihilation and the One Blade Opening the Heavens quite well.

Only in the second domain, "Extinction of the Three Calamities," did he need the help of the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd to fully diffuse the three halos.

On the other side of the Radiant Light Blade, with thousands of auspicious rays and clouds filling the sky, Lu Ran was able to withstand it all.

But this is the third divine weapon domain.
It completely drained Lu Ran's divine power!
If it weren't for the constant stream of divine power from Little Phoenix, he probably would have fainted on the spot.

"Whoo~"

Qiao Yuanxi helped Lu Ran to the ground, feeling both sorry for him and amused: "You're so temperamental?"

"If the sunset doesn't come, it doesn't come. Is it really necessary to make the sky light up all over again?"

Lu Ran said weakly, "It'll be here soon."

"Oh?" Qiao Yuanxi looked up.

The torrent of rosy clouds stretching across the night sky was still dazzling, but it gradually dimmed as time passed.

The intensely bright white gradually fades into golden red, orange-red, light red, and finally dark red.

The night sky was still ablaze with rosy light.

The scattered, churning dark red flames lingered for a long time, resembling patches of fiery clouds that slowly spread across the sky.

"Brother." Qiao Yuanxi suddenly spoke after looking around.

"Ok?"

"If you wield the Blade of Light and slice it across the bodies of gods and demons, could you cut them in two?"

"I'm looking forward to it too." Lu Ran looked up at the magnificent sunset.

Qiao Yuanxi's eyes brightened as she turned to look at Lu Ran: "Next time, I'll back you up. Shall we give it a try?"

"Uh." Lu Ran suddenly shivered.

Qiao Yuanxi reacted for a moment, then put on a gloating expression: "Oh~ now you know fear? Wasn't someone quite capable just now?"

Lu Ran: "."

Qiao Yuanxi, turning into a clever mimic, pouted and shook her head: "I just advanced with the Radiant Blade, my divinity hasn't dissipated yet~"

Lu Ran turned his head to look elsewhere, his voice low and gloomy: "Don't you want to go home?"

"I want to go back!" Qiao Yuanxi quickly grabbed Lu Ran's arm, taking the opportunity to change the subject, "What's the name of this Divine Weapon Domain?"

"Let's call it 'Radiant Glow'."

"Why not choose something more domineering?"

"Hmm?" Lu Ran's expression was strange. He knew that Xiao Yuanxi liked fantasy novels and had an amazing reading volume.

Qiao Yuanxi indeed had a rich vocabulary: "A ray of light! All the clouds return to one! The clouds are cut off. A ray of light opens the gate to heaven!"

Lu Ran was completely overwhelmed and quickly said, "Let me catch my breath, we'll go back to the human world in a bit."

Qiao Yuanxi didn't say anything more. After helping Lu Ran sit down, she took the Xia Guang Blade.

She walked to the side, admiring the world's finest divine weapons, and muttered to herself, "Xia Guang, Xia Guang, my brother is terrible at naming things, which name do you like?"

The sword spirit's energy flowed through the hilt, seeping into the younger sister's palm: "Which one do you like?"

"Shall I choose?"

"Hmm, tell me, and I'll go talk to my master about it."

"Hmm, you're so good to me."

"Because I am him."

In the dead of night, within the grand mansion of Luoxian Mountain, a floor-length mirror violently tore through time and space, appearing in the courtyard of Luoxian Residence.

The young man in the feathered robe and the girl in the black dress came out one after the other.

Lu Ran drew the Cloud Sea Dust Clear Sword from his waist and handed it to Qiao Yuanxi: "Go inside and have the sword spirit contact your mother."

"Okay~" Qiao Yuanxi ran into the house with the longsword in her arms.

Lu Ran looked up at the divine statue, clasped his hands together, and said, "Immortal Sheep, your disciple has returned."

Now that you're back, let's see what the gods and demons have done.

A sense of foreboding rose in Lu Ran's heart, and he immediately concealed his figure and teleported to the high sky.

The next moment, his expression changed!
The city is in ruins, houses have collapsed, bridges have broken, and streets and alleys are no longer brightly lit.

Lu Ran frowned, carefully examining Ye Yucheng. In all these years, he had never seen a city suffer such severe damage.

The gods and demons already know that it is you humans who are secretly hunting them.

How did they know?

"Does it matter?" the fairy sheep said calmly. "It was bound to happen sooner or later; you've kept it hidden long enough."

Lu Ran's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

The monks notified all the gods and demons to conduct a thorough investigation of their disciples. Some individual gods and demons were also conducting their own investigations.

"A martial monk?"

This time, Lord Immortal Sheep did not respond.

"Martial monk, martial monk," Lu Ran kept chanting the name of the deity, looking at the city ravaged by war.

Today is the 17th day of the lunar calendar.

But in one of the ruins, he still found uncollected limbs.

Bloodstains that had not been cleaned were found on the asphalt road.

[The gods and demons assumed that the humans who hunted them still had feelings for their homeland and attachments to their race.] The immortal sheep said calmly, [Therefore, on the fifteenth of last month, chaos erupted in the human world.]

Ghosts roam the night, and the Demon Lord descends upon the world.
The gods and demons are trying to force you out in this way.

Lu Ran clenched his fists. Everything he saw was like a sharp knife, deeply piercing his heart.

The celestial sheep's tone gradually turned cold: "If you don't obediently show yourself, the human world will be even more miserable on the fifteenth of next month."

"So? Do you want to obediently submit, abandon your race's only chance, continue to be ruled by gods and demons, and wait for a miraculous miracle?"

Should we kneel before the gods and demons, kowtow and admit our mistakes, and try to appease their anger?

Lu Ran finally spoke: "Immortal Sheep, I am not an innocent child."

Kneeling before gods and demons won't quell my anger; I know what to do.

[Oh?] Fairy Sheep asked with interest.

Lu Ran's eyes were icy cold, and his voice was deep: "Kill until the gods and demons are afraid, kill until they bow their heads and submit."

Slaughter them until they are wiped out!
"The gods and demons will no longer harbor any rage!"
