The Old Gods

Chapter 947 Rouge Appears Again
time does not wait!
After Ranmen cleaned up the battlefield, Lu Ran used his magic gourd to collect all the soldiers and then headed to Yanzhi Divine Mountain.

Under the dark clouds, Lu Ran's eyes flickered repeatedly, and he felt somewhat uneasy.

Strictly speaking, the first deity or demon he worshipped on the altar was not Lord Immortal Sheep.

It's a paper doll!
Later, on the night of the college entrance examination, Lu Ran was greeted by a procession of ghosts from the Rouge Paper Clan in Yuxiang City. Each of the Rouge Paper people seemed to have a special feeling for him.

Lu Ran had been to the Demon Cave where the Rouge People lived, and also to the Rouge Clan's headquarters in Holy Spirit Mountain.

Without exception, he received special treatment.

Even with a large number of humans present, when Lu Ran was there, the paper-man barely noticed anyone else.
Lu Ran really couldn't understand why the paper-paper person was so fond of him.

Could it be that I'm really going to be forced into a ghost marriage?
Hmm. I hope not.

Lost in thought, Lu Ran teleported northeast and soon came across a group of rather festive mud boar minions.

Fifth-class demon - Mud Mountain Boar!
Back when Lu Ran was celebrating the New Year at Cloud Sea Cliff, he even killed some of the tribe's lackeys and dragged them back to roast as crispy pork belly.

This group of huge, jet-black wild boars has a pair of scarlet eyes and looks quite ferocious.

If that's the case, why say they're festive?
Because the big black pig had festive red ribbons hanging on its nose and body.

It looked like he had been tied up before.

It's hard not to think that mud-brick pigs were once used as gifts or New Year's goods.

The divine side of the Mud Mountain Pig is also very unique; it is a butcher.

His name is Qing Tu!

That sounds even more festive.

Lu Ran had a strange association: in ancient times, when a wealthy family was holding a wedding, Qing Tu was the butcher and cook of the family, and the Mud Mountain Pig was the food that had broken free of its bonds and run away.

As Lu Ran ascended to the Heavenly Realm, his horizons broadened, and he learned that the Fifth-Rank God-Demon Qing Tu - Mud Mountain Boar was located behind the Rouge Paper Divine Mountain.
Once you understand one thing, you understand everything!
What else is there to say?
That's right, there's a woman from a wealthy family who's getting married!

Lu Ran flashed again, and looking around, all he saw was a festive red.

Countless paper-paper minions are fighting against the Jade Emperor's minions.

But there is another kind of divine minion, whose appearance is very similar to a human girl, with a slender figure and a very delicate feeling.

She held a red flower candle in her hands, decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns.

She wore a long red ancient dress, embroidered with beautiful golden cloud patterns.

Fourth-Rank God - Red Candle!
It's clear that the Red Candle minions all possess physical forms, suggesting they have already devoured the demonic aspect of Candle Shadow.

Undeniably, the fourth-ranked god, Red Candle, is truly outstanding; whether in appearance, figure, or temperament, she is an excellent choice.

Looking at her alone, you might even think that Hongzhu is the wealthy heiress waiting to be married.

But standing next to the Rouge Paper Girl, the difference in their abilities becomes immediately apparent!

It's crystal clear who the master is and who the maid is.

Aura is truly an amazing thing.
The crisp "crackling" sounds were incessant.

Looking around, Lu Ran saw many faceless jade statues with twisted bodies, as if they were being squeezed by an invisible giant hand.

Looking at the paper figures flying in the air, most of them were holding paper dolls. Although they couldn't crush the Faceless Jade Venerable in one go, it was clear to the naked eye that the Jade Venerable clan's actions were greatly affected!
Even more terrifying is that once the Faceless Jade Venerable is injured and its ability to resist weakens even slightly, it will truly be unable to escape being crushed.

The combination of Qingtu and Mud Mountain Pig is incredibly fierce!
The black pig was covered with the ghostly figures of burly butchers, who slashed wildly with blood-red knives and flung meat hooks around.

Black pigs are naturally thick-skinned and heavy, and they not only wear their own mud armor, but also the candlelight shields of the Red Candle faction.

Any faceless jade vessel that directly confronts the Mud Mountain Boar will be burned by the candle flame.

It has a sense of reciprocity.

If you turn pork into jade, I'll burn your white jade robe.

Of course, the mud-mountain pigs are at a greater loss.

But the big black pigs have helpers.

Under various forms of control and assistance, even the fifth-rank demon minion Qingtu-Mud Mountain Boar was able to fight on equal terms with the powerful Faceless Jade Venerable clan.

Lu Ran observed carefully for a moment, then stopped looking at the defensive line.

His gaze swept into the distance, following the continuous expanse of festive red, towards the majestic Yanzhi Divine Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a massive mud boar demon sculpture was rolling around in the mud, frantically attacking the Jade Venerable Clan.

The powerful and imposing statue of Qing Tu Shen was positioned at the rear to provide support.

At the mountainside, the Red Candle Maiden stood quietly, holding a huge flower candle in her hands. As the candlelight flickered, it enveloped the warriors of the sacred mountain in a shield of burning candlelight.

At the summit of the sacred mountain, a divine statue stands proudly alone.

Even though she is a somber stone sculpture, it cannot conceal her dignified demeanor and noble elegance.

She wore an exquisite phoenix crown and a wide embroidered robe, her beautiful eyes gazing at the distant horizon, seemingly lost in thought.

Or perhaps, she was waiting for something.

Evil God - Paper Doll!
The wind was strong on the mountaintop, and her skirt fluttered lightly. Occasionally, her sleeves would lift, revealing a paper effigy in her hand.

For her, the paper offerings were only the size of her palm.

But to Lu Ran, it was a paper giant that was thirty or forty meters tall.

In the context of the Xia Dynasty, paper offerings were already considered something of the underworld, and now that has been amplified so many times over!
Lu Ran felt a chill run down his spine!

"Phew," Lu Ran breathed a deep sigh of relief, contacted the Evil Shadow Guardian in his mind, and released her from the Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd.

This was his agreement with Xiao Ruyi: upon arrival at the location, he would have the Evil Shadow Protector come out to keep watch and prevent any accidents from happening.

Yan Shuangzi naturally appeared in stealth mode. She quickly looked around and showed a surprised expression.

Such a brutal battlefield is completely out of place with this festive atmosphere.

A moment later, the voice of the evil figure echoed in his mind: "Master, only the Paper Doll, Red Candle, Qing Tu, and Mud Mountain Boar are nearby. You may reveal yourself now."

Lu Ran: "."

To be honest, he was a bit of a coward. He didn't dare to appear directly next to the paper doll, fearing that she wouldn't even glance at the ant and would crush the paper giant, pulverizing his small body along with it.

Let's not be too reckless and take it easy.

With a flash, Lu Ran appeared three kilometers to the right front of the paper doll, quietly revealing his figure.

At the summit of the sacred mountain, the dignified female evil god's hazy eyes gradually regained focus.

Even though her eyes were made of stone, her spirit was genuine.

A ripple appeared in her eyes, her beautiful gaze shifting, her eyes growing even brighter.

"ah!"

"hiss"

"Ah!!" Many of the paper-paper minions spotted the figure in the sky and vaguely recognized who it was.

Even though Lu Ran was wearing the Blood Crystal Mask.

After all, his eyebrows and eyes are exposed.

The vast majority of the gods' and demons' minions, including the gods and demons themselves, were unaware of the young man's origins.

On the battlefield of the heavens, human believers were originally doing hard labor under the command of gods and demons, but in recent months, a special group of humans has appeared and is frantically hunting down gods and demons!

Therefore, when the god Qing Tu noticed the sudden appearance of the human race, he immediately became tense.

When Qing Tu noticed that the unfamiliar human youth's gaze met that of the solitary paper-paper figure atop the mountain, he was struck by a sudden realization.
Qing Tu gripped the Blood Butcher's Blade even tighter!

What are those human villains doing?
Eye contact?

Is he trying to bewitch his master?

The paper doll is indeed ridiculously strong, with melee and ranged attacks, defense and substitution abilities, control and summoning capabilities, and can even absorb thousands of techniques into its sleeve, refining them into energy to replenish itself.

Her few shortcomings are that she lacks defensive techniques!
"Bang!" Qing Tu's foot slammed down, and he leaped high into the air, throwing out a bloodstained iron hook from his large hand.

Celebrating the God-Slaying Ceremony: Hanging Meat Hooks!
Lu Ran: "."

I'm just exchanging pleasantries with your lady; what are you, a cook, doing getting involved?

"Whoosh~" The bloody meat hook flew over rapidly.

For the tiny human race, this thing was far too big; it couldn't hook Lu Ran, but it could knock him away.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran did not dodge left or right, but flew straight backward.

The meat-hanging hooks of the Qingtu sect are quite flexible, allowing the caster to swing them left and right at will.

The drawback is also obvious: it's short!

The reason why Qing Tu was reduced to a fifth-rank god is inseparable from this one word.

Not only are the meat hooks short!

The blood-slaughtering knife in his hand was short, and the blade energy he unleashed was even shorter.
"Boom!"

The meat hook was indeed not far enough away, and it fell to the ground along with its master. Qing Tu did not hesitate and stepped down again.

Lu Ran flew backward while looking down.

Qing Tu appears to be a middle-aged man. Although his face is slightly blurred, his expression is stern, but his eyes are very striking, sharp as a knife!

It was as if they were treating Lu Ran like a live pig.

At the level of divine and evil sculptures, everyone is enormous, but you can still tell their height, weight, and build from their body proportions.

Qing Tu was an extremely tall and strong man!
His bare arms were muscular and seemed to contain explosive power.

The Qingtu faction does indeed possess the divine power of Qingtu. Any living being that wants to contend with it should think twice.

Lu Ran naturally had no intention of fighting back and continued to retreat.

Qing Tu had already reached the top, and before falling, he slashed down hard at Lu Ran.

In an instant, countless blades spread out in a fan shape forward.

Celebrating the Godslayer Technique: The Mad Bone-Scraping Blade!

Lu Ran's figure suddenly accelerated, directly escaping the Mad Blade's attack range.

Qing Tu had already fallen, and within the fan-shaped area high in the sky, countless blade energies were still surging wildly, while the tiny human race stood silently outside the fan-shaped area.

If it were any other god or demon, Lu Ran would either teleport away or be on high alert, dodging and weaving through the endless blades.

But when facing Qing Tu En, you can just fly backwards.

It's too short.
"Hehe~" A soft laugh came from the top of the sacred mountain.

The paper doll raised one hand, covering her mouth with the sleeve embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, her eyes shimmering as she gazed at the scene from afar.

Lu Ran realized that he could go over there without being accidentally injured or crushed to death by the paper doll.

But Lu Ran also realized that a certain god below was furious!

Qing Tu actually bent down and reached out, grabbing a handful of mud-covered wild boar from the ground, and flung it up with large amounts of mud.

Lu Ran: "."

Are you a child?

They even threw mud at each other during the fight.

"chatter!"

"Gurgle!!" The mud boars twisted their bodies wildly, spraying large amounts of mud from their mouths, covering the sky and obscuring people's vision.

Mud spraying wasn't enough, there's also mud cannon!

Huge energy clusters formed from mud elements gathered in the pig's mouth and were fired haphazardly.

"Holy crap!" Lu Ran exclaimed in surprise.

It was I who misunderstood you!
What an exhilarating combination move!
A new month is almost here, please give me some monthly votes!
