The Old Gods

Chapter 945 The Rise of the Burning Gate

"Boom!"

The sound of light and flames bursting was earth-shattering.

The flower was sent flying backward, its upper body shattered.

Thankfully, this is a stone sculpture, not a flesh and blood body, otherwise its intestines and internal organs would have spilled all over the ground. Well, no, even if there were fresh blood and bits of flesh, they would have been burned away by the blazing flames.

"Master?"

"The sect leader has arrived!" With a loud roar, the battlefield, which had been paused, returned to normal.

A series of sounds rang out, including those of Yu Changsheng.

The Dragon Protector was calm and composed. He spoke up because he was by Nüying's side.

At this moment, Nüying stood proudly atop the sacred mountain, overlooking the entire scene.

She also held a crimson broken blade that was over a hundred meters long in her hand, which matched her battle-damaged black armor even better.

"Lu Ran?" Nv Ying said softly.

"Yes, Lady Nüying." Yu Changsheng said in a low voice, watching the flower-shaped ornament being blown away, his eyes full of admiration.

Nu Ying nodded silently, her eyes completely oblivious to the flowers.

She kept gazing at the torrent of rosy light that connected heaven and earth, a strange light flashing in her sharp eyes.

A few days ago, when Nü Ying fought Lu Ran, she realized that this young human possessed two fourth-tier divine weapons.

I suppose this is the ability of one of the weapons.

Hmm, not bad.

"Haha! Our young master is here!" Si Xianxian shouted, immediately wielding her hammer and flying forward, while simultaneously reaching out with one hand, her energy surging within.

This sea-piercing flame is devastating!
Si Xianxian was stunned. She saw that behind the spinning and flying flower, a huge stone statue suddenly appeared—the Evil Shadow Guardian!
Yan Shuangzi, wielding a fourth-tier magic weapon called the Demon-Binding Chain, instantly wrapped it around Cheng Hua's neck the moment she appeared.

She gripped the thick, blood-red chain with one hand and pulled it upwards sharply, while her right hand, like a sharp wolf's claw, reached for Chenghua's back.

"Crack!!"

The ear-piercing sound of shattering echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

The front half of Chenghua's body was already torn apart, and after Yan Shuangzi tore it several times, she managed to tear open his back and pull out his right hand from his waist and abdomen.

"Buzz~" The Demon-Binding Chains trembled violently, trying their best to imprison their prey and interfere with their spellcasting under the command of their new master.

An incredibly cruel scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

"Snap, snap, snap!!"

The magnificent divine sculpture was torn apart in half by wolf claws and snapped with a crash.

Yan Shuangzi held the Demon-Binding Chain in her hand, still hanging by the neck of the flower-shaped pendant, lifting the shattered upper body of the deity into the air.

The lower half of the flower-supported body drooped downwards.
"Holy crap!" Si Xianxian's mouth formed an "O" shape.

What a monstrous shadow!

Even more explosive than me?

That won’t work!

The group of stone statues of gods and demons were still shaken by the gruesome dismemberment, while the Mad Immortal Protector had already found a target, determined to reclaim the title of "Number One Explosion of the Burning Gate".

She turned her head to look and immediately saw a handsome statue of a god.

As everyone knows, the third-class demon, the sea merman, is exceptionally handsome, with a long fish tail that resembles a gorgeous silver-white dress.

It exudes nobility and luxury.

If the merfolk weren't evil, they could probably charm countless young girls.

Even when Lu Ran was in close contact with the merman, he stared at the other's bare upper body and was secretly stunned by the beautiful muscle lines.
However, Si Xianxian's target was not the merfolk, but rather the two sides of this evil god:
Third-Rank God - Yan Qing!
The beauty of merfolk is an eerie beauty.

Yan Qing's beauty is a clean and clear kind of handsomeness.

Looking at the entire divine ranks of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are very few who can compare to her in terms of appearance!
Yan Qing appeared to be a young man, tall and slender, with long, jet-black hair cascading down his back like a waterfall.

He wore a long robe made of clear water, with a unique sky-blue hue, as if the purest azure of the sky after the rain had been incorporated into the robe.

As the sleeves of her robe swayed gently, endless, shallow ripples spread across the water.

Combined with his aloof demeanor, it made him appear even more refined and dignified.

"You bastard! You look decent enough to be human, you'd better die!"

With a sharp shout, Si Xianxian flew forward at high speed, pushing out a thick pillar of fire from her hand.

Yan Qing's robes fluttered lightly, her feet springing to the ground, her dodging movements graceful and elegant.

He frowned slightly and said, "You have already made your stance clear, why resort to force again?"

"Huh?" Si Xianxian laughed in anger. "The flower has been dismembered, and now you want to communicate with us? Too late!"

On the sacred mountain, the three statues of gods and demons—Ni Zun, Jiu Zhu, and Zhu Mu Yao—remained silent.

Perhaps they are secretly glad that they chose to follow Lady Nüying and this newly risen group of Burning Gate Gods.

"Ah! Ahhh!" The sudden scream made everyone tense.

On the distant battlefield, a statue of a long-haired old man is being brutally slaughtered by the Heavenly Generals of the Burning Gate.

Poor Rain Master, an eighth-rank god, chose the wrong side.

He chose to follow Yan Qing and the merfolk, and obey Cheng Hua's leadership, since he had always followed Cheng Hua's orders on Hua Qing Divine Mountain.

Now, the leader of Huaqing Divine Mountain has been cruelly split in two.

Such a scene was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Rain Master!
Just as he was struck by lightning, nine enormous, illusory silver toads spat out thick, long tongues made of moonlight, binding his neck and limbs.

The Rain Master was thus stretched out into a "大" (big) shape, at the mercy of others.

Welcoming each falling star. "Snap! Snap!"

Lu Ran looked over and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. His own Great Evil Shadow was already ferocious enough, but the Leng siblings from the Cloud Sea Sect were even more domineering and ruthless.

What's the difference between a rain master and fish on a cutting board?
As soon as Lu Ran looked around, he was drawn to another battle group.

What a great speed!

Are those the Boundless Heavenly Generals?

Yes, some time ago, the third-class deity Nuo Sha-Xi Mian died tragically, and their souls were devoured by Wu Ya.

"My God!" Lu Ran exclaimed in surprise.

The newly ascended god Wuyai wore a ferocious mask that combined the styles of Nuo Sha and Xi Mian, and wielded the second-tier divine weapon, the Mandarin Duck Double Ring Blade. The blade was covered with transparent Sha blades, and he was killing the sea merfolk so badly that they lost their armor and weapons.

In the misty, rainy world, the drizzle is merely an illusion.

Without rain, the merfolk's speed decreased drastically and their combat power was greatly reduced.

However, Wuya inherited the Nuosha sect, which consisted of purely agile warriors.

The Nuo Sha Divine Technique: Entangling of Gods and Ghosts is a skill that truly lives up to its name!
I don't care if you're a god or a ghost!

Once you see me, you'll know what it truly means to be a persistent ghost.

What?! They're calling me a damn jerk! They're relentlessly harassing me!
"Ah!!" The merman let out a sharp cry, and the invisible sound waves, like an amplifier, enveloped the boundless expanse.

Wuya moved with incredible speed, arriving directly beside the merman. The moment his twin swords slashed down, another scream rang out:
"ah!!"

The Evil Magic of the Playful Face - Howling Face!
Nuo Sha Shen Fa - Nuo Mian Fu!
The combined visual and auditory psychological impact instilled fear in the target.

Unfortunately, the merfolk possessed sophisticated defensive techniques and remained fearless!

Wuya's actions drew a reprimand from Huangfu Zhao: "Stop wasting your time and finish this quickly!"

As they spoke, Huangfu Zhao leaped over the battle, sword in hand, and with a single piercing sea flame, slammed the merman to the ground.

As a false god, Huangfu Zhao revered the Mad Immortal Protector.

"Heh." A cold snort came from behind the pale, menacing mask.

Wuya's voice was somewhat effeminate: "If I want to finish this quickly, you'll all have to dance with me."

Huangfu Zhao naturally understood that Wuya was referring to the Nuosha Divine Method - Nuosha Dance.

Once this method is activated, a huge afterimage of a Nuosha will dance in place, its movements strange yet powerful, with sweeping and expansive movements.

Within a certain range, all living beings will dance along with the afterimage.

In such an intense battlefield, if your body is out of control, you will certainly die a gruesome death.

"Hurry up!" Huangfu Zhao said sternly, raising his voice, "Shadow Shaman, follow us!"

Although Huangfu Zhao was only at the third level of the Heavenly Realm and did not have a divine position, he was the leader of the old Yunhai faction and forcefully commanded Wuya, who had a complete divine position.

"Heh." Wuya snorted, his eyes filled with malice, and a phantom appeared on his huge body.

The phantom, based on the boundless, drifts left and right, carrying two sharp blades in its hands, fighting alongside its master.

It was eerie and terrifying, filled with ghostly figures!

"Boom!"

The sound of the stone sculpture cracking echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

On another battlefield, the Rain Master's chest was finally shattered by the stars, but the tongues of the nine silver toads were still wrapped around the Rain Master's neck, arms, legs, wrists, and ankles.

The giant silver toads were still desperately pulling backward.
There is an ancient story of a body being torn apart by five horses.

Now there are nine toads dismembered!

【Master, Mom wants you to come into my belly and release the Rain Master Stone Sculpture. The Evil Shadow Protector has already gone to capture souls, so send him into my belly soon too~】

Suddenly, a child's innocent voice entered Lu Ran's mind.

Lu Ran naturally knew that it was Little Phoenix speaking to him, and that the so-called evil shadow protector was using the Rebirth Coin he wore.

He turned his head and looked through the thick fog, just in time to see Jiang Ruyi holding a gourd with a phoenix pattern between her fingers, sucking the buzzing, trembling Hua Qingying into the gourd.

【Master, master, did you hear that?】

【Oh, here it comes!】Lu Ran immediately teleported over, and after a moment's thought, he understood Fairy Jiang's intention.

She probably didn't allow herself to directly summon the stone statue on the battlefield because she wanted to keep something in reserve.

I don't want Nüying, Nizun, Jiuzhu, Zhumuyao, and the lackeys of the Wumianyuzun clan to see this.

As soon as Lu Ran entered the belly of the little phoenix, he saw a statue of a girl holding a lantern.

Qiao Yuanxi?
Lu Ran had been wondering where Xiao Yuanxi had gone. As the inheritor of the Flower Lantern - Black Lantern, his sister was the queen of the support class, so there was no reason for her not to join the team.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yuanxi was inside the gourd.

What is she doing?
Lu Ran looked closely and discovered that inside the exquisite lantern held by his younger sister's hands, there was a small figure struggling frantically and being burned by divine fire.

This lantern is clearly the ultimate move of the Lantern School: Divine Fire Refining Demon Cage!

It can refine all things.

Because of the lantern paper covering him, Lu Ran couldn't see the exact appearance of the creature inside, but the little guy inside the lantern seemed to have eight arms and so on!

Eight arms?

Third-class evil demon, Prison Demon?
"Holy crap." Lu Ran looked at the evil god struggling desperately inside the lantern.

Then I looked at my sister's beautiful and holy face, illuminated by the glow of the sacred lantern.

It turned out that the most ferocious fighter in the opposing camp had been subdued by Qiao Yuanxi at the very beginning of the battle.

They've got it under tight control!
