The Old Gods

Chapter 973 Did I Scam You?

wait.

long wait.

Lu Ran stood two kilometers north of the sacred mountain, ready to activate his Silence Domain. The Evil Shadow Protector, Elder Lu Yuan, and the others were high in the southeast of the sacred mountain, poised to strike.

Yu Fu has already returned to the sacred mountain to rest twice, but Xue Lu is still fighting. He's practically a battle maniac!

Lu Ran sometimes wondered if the resources plundered from Blood Skull were enough to replenish the energy consumed in battle.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Shuangzi's eyes narrowed!
On the distant eastern front, the enormous blood-red demonic sculpture suddenly vanished, leaving behind a huge, blood-red afterimage.

Blood Head has returned to the mountain!

He appeared on the mountaintop in a crouching position, his two blood-red blades embedded in the sacred mountain. Beneath his disheveled hair, his eyes were filled with ruthless intent as he looked down at the still chaotic battlefield.

[Attention all units!]

The sentence imprinted in her mind made Yan Shuangzi's body tense.

In her left and right hands, she held Tu Feng and He Qifeng by the neck, both of whom were top-notch close-combat fighters within the Burning Gate.

The stone statue of Lu Yuan beside him was equally focused, holding a gourd with a phoenix pattern in its left hand and a small money bag in its right.

[32 Actions!]

Lu Ran immediately activated his Silence Domain, and Yan Shuangzi, with her eyes fixed on the Blood Skull, vanished in an instant.

Immediately, a divine and demonic afterimage floated out from within Lu Yuan's stone sculpture—Qin Yanzhi!

At the same time, the two magical artifacts in Lu Yuan's hands spat out one divine and evil sculpture after another.

The master and disciple simultaneously activated the teleportation technique, and two beautiful spider lilies bloomed.

Just as Lu Ran activated his Silence Domain, Blood Skull, who was crouching on the mountaintop, trembled slightly.

"Ok?"

Blood Skull sensed that the divine power within his body was being suppressed. Not only that, but energy was also surging from behind and to the left and right.

The Evil Shadow Guardian, accompanied by the Wind Emperor and the Slaughtering General, arrived in an instant and seized their target.

With a muffled thud, gravel flew everywhere!

Bloodlust reacted incredibly quickly, his movements were outrageously fast, and he suddenly lunged forward from his crouching position.

Tu Feng's expression suddenly changed!

He Qifeng also missed his target, and his face turned extremely ugly.

Oops!

Different gods and demons react differently to sudden situations.

The former monks, when faced with a sneak attack, would immediately choose to fight back head-on.

When faced with an unexpected situation, Blood Skull's first reaction is to dodge.

"Whoosh~" Yan Shuangzi's movements were equally astonishing. As she leaned forward, she grabbed at the other person's head with one hand.

In the realm of silence, neither Bloodskull nor Shadow of Evil has any techniques to support them, but both are swift-type gods and demons, so this is their inherent nature.

Just like Si Xianxian, her power attribute is higher than that of ordinary gods and demons.

However, Yan Shuangzi's outstretched hand failed to grasp the enemy's head, but instead grabbed the blood-stained skull's shattered hair.

Several crisp sounds rang out immediately.

The hair snapped off instantly; how could that stop the blood from rushing forward?
"Stop!" Yan Shuangzi reacted with lightning speed, her feet buckling as she darted forward, almost skimming the ground.

"Snapped!"

Yan Shuangzi grabbed Xue Lu's ankle, and the two gods and demons fell directly off the sacred mountain.

A heavy, muffled sound echoed from the mountaintop and spread downwards.

Blood Head had already turned around, and as it fell backward, it kicked the unfamiliar female stone statue hard with its feet.

"Thump! Thump!" One foot after another stomped hard on Yan Shuangzi's face.

"Uh." Yan Shuangzi's head tilted to the side after being kicked. She gritted her teeth and quickly blocked with her other hand.

With a loud crash, two enormous stone sculptures fell halfway down the mountainside, causing the mountain to collapse, with chunks of rock rolling down and dust billowing up.

The four statues of gods and demons—the White-striped Wolf, the Bloodthirsty Dog, the Golden Ear Old Man, and the Straw Demon—all looked in this direction.

They all lacked the demeanor expected of gods and demons, and were all dumbfounded!

What... what is this?

It's not that gods and demons aren't cool enough; it's just that this matter is too shocking and unconventional.

Are there really any creatures in this world that dare to cause trouble for Lord Bloodskull?

Are you really tired of living?

"Hold on!" A sharp shout echoed from the mountaintop to the mountainside as He Qifeng plummeted rapidly.

Tu Feng followed closely behind, and saw that the blue teleportation array had been activated amidst the flying dust, clearly opened from the head of the Evil Shadow Protector.

Seeing this, Bloodskull knew that reinforcements were coming. Seeing the strange female statue clutching his ankle and refusing to let go, he made a snap decision and gave up on getting rid of the woman.

He pushed off the ground with one foot, and his massive body was launched into the air with a roar, flying straight south.

"Whoo~"

Yan Shuangzi was carried away from the sacred mountain. The magic array above her head caused huge stone sculptures to fall from the sky.

The range of the fourth-order Silence Domain is 10,000 meters in radius, or five kilometers.

For stone sculptures that are often two or three hundred meters long, a mere five thousand meters is just a matter of a few leaps.

The bigger problem is that Lu Ran cast the spell two kilometers north of the sacred mountain!

This time, Blood Skull leaped with all his might, actually carrying Yan Shuangzi with him out of the Silent Domain.

The moment the divine power within her body became active, Yan Shuangzi had a flash of inspiration and immediately activated the teleportation technique!

"Shu~"

Yan Shuangzi: !!!

She stood atop the mountain peak, her divine power once again imprisoned, but the ankle she had been clutching tightly in her hand had vanished.

Looking up, all that remained where she had flashed was a huge, bloody afterimage.

Yan Shuangzi failed to bring back Blood Skull!
She reacted incredibly quickly, and Blood Skull was no less quick, teleporting away just as fast!
The soldiers all paled, and even the fiercely fighting battlefield seemed to pause for a moment.

Bloodskull. Did they just fight their way out like that?
The Immortal Sheep God's heart sank.

Blood Skull is indeed the leader of the demons, and his strength should not be underestimated. However, Lu Ran and his subordinates have always been invincible in their battles in the Heavenly Realm!
But when they arrived at Blood Dust Divine Mountain, something went wrong?

This kid, is he deliberately trying to make me use the Divine Spell - Sheep to weaken my body?
"Help me! Lord Bloodskull, help me!" A panicked cry broke the silence.

Near the mountaintop, Yu Fu's arms were pinned down by the stone statues of Leng Tianxing and Leng Tianyue, both of whom possessed complete divine positions, rendering him completely immobile.

His four top-tier magical artifacts, the stone tablets, lost their original function within the Silence Domain, leaving only the ability to levitate and preventing the casting of spells.

"What are you barking about, you dog?!"

Outside the domain, a furious female voice rang out, accompanied by illusory hammer shadows burning fiercely.

The Great Mad Immortal was both anxious and angry, and swung his hammer fiercely, but his target was not the jade talisman.

Because that damned guy will eventually be captured by Qiao Yuanxi's Divine Fire Demon Refining Cage.

Refining!

Refine it thoroughly!

The young master said that he would stand on the lantern and witness firsthand how Lord Yu Fu would suffer.

As the primary damage dealer for the Burning Gate, Si Xianxian's task is to eliminate the two teleporting enemies as quickly as possible.

Then they rushed to the rescue and smashed Blood Skull to pieces!
But by this time, Blood Head had already escaped and could instantly reach anyone and take anyone's life!

How could the Mad Immortal not be in a hurry?
"How dare you scheme against me."

A sinister voice came from dozens of kilometers southeast of Shenshan.

Blood Head stood in mid-air, his hands swung out, grasping two blood-dripping burning blades. His eyes were extremely fierce as he stared at the group of villains on the mountaintop.

These few simple words carried boundless pressure, causing even gods and demons with complete divine positions to tremble in fear under their overwhelming might.

"Whoosh!!" A thick sea of ​​blood suddenly surged out of Blood Skull's body, surging in all directions.

Blood Skull Clan's ultimate move: Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers!
The boiling blood is incredibly hot, capable of engulfing heaven and earth and all things, burning everything in its path, and dissolving it into energy to replenish itself.

With a "whoosh," Blood Skull suddenly flicked his blade, moving with incredible speed.

At the summit, He Yingcai felt a pang of panic, as if she could already see a giant arc of blades made of scalding blood cleaving the majestic sacred mountain and shattering the divine sculptures.

There is no other way but to teleport!

Flying is obviously not an option. No matter how fast you fly, you can't possibly be faster than the arc of blood blades, right?
He Yingcai suddenly opened her mouth slightly, her terrified eyes turning into relief at surviving a disaster.

None of what I expected happened.

The twin blades raised by the blood-stained skull failed to unleash a blood-red arc that could incinerate everything.

Even the pair of blood-burning blades transformed directly into thick blood, flowing down from between Blood Skull's fingers.

Gone?

A young man's voice rang out, equally sinister:
"Does it take a lot of courage to plot against you?"

The smiling sheep face of the Immortal Sheep statue remained unchanged, except for a fleeting glint of brilliance in its eyes.

Because of the great distance, it could not hear the disciple's words, but it could clearly see the abnormal condition of the blood skull.

"Huh?" Bloodskull suddenly turned his head to look.

Four or five kilometers away, above the splattering sea of ​​blood, in the higher sky, stood a tiny human.

He was dressed in a flowing feather robe, like a banished immortal, but his face was covered by a blood crystal mask, revealing a hint of evil.

The young man also had short, messy hair, beneath which were set a pair of unusually cold eyes.

The human and the demon share some strange similarities in style.

Honestly, if Blood Skull had simply escaped, Lu Ran really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

But the question is, is it possible for the proud Bloodskull Lord to leave?

After arriving thirty kilometers away, he will splatter the world with a gushing sea of ​​blood and forbid any stone sculptures from approaching. After regrouping, he will probably destroy the world.

Ah.

Lu Ran pursed his lips tightly and stared directly into the eyes of the blood-red skull.

You can forget about destroying the world.

Since you're not leaving, then don't leave at all!

"call!"

On Blood Dust Divine Mountain, Dust Shadow Flowers instantly bloomed into a sea of ​​flowers, while simultaneously unfurling an illusory otherworldly flower.

Blood Skull went to a place thirty kilometers to the southeast. Lu Ran closed his domain, teleported there invisibly, reopened his domain, and controlled the other party. In this way, all the gods and demons on and around the Divine Mountain could naturally cast spells.

Chen Yinghua reacted immediately and tried to escape, but the Burning Gate was also prepared.

Among the warriors of the Burning Gate beside Chen Yinghua was He Yingcai!

The God of Wealth, who was already holding the petals with both hands, reacted even faster, releasing ten thin red threads that stuck to the petals.

The sea of ​​flowers blooming beneath her feet has a strong hallucinogenic effect, but it has no effect on her whatsoever.

The Bihe School possesses the exquisite defensive technique, Lotus Heart and Lotus Spirit!
At the same time, in another battle on Mount Shen, the Demon of the Mirror also summoned an ancient bronze mirror.

He Yingcai was not here because the Demon Clan of the Mirror of Sin wanted to teleport, so they first needed to summon the Basic Bronze Mirror of Sin, and then transform it into a ground mirror.

There's a procedure in the middle, which will naturally take time.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

A flash of lightning streaked past!

Huangfu Zhao grabbed the Demon Mirror by the neck with one hand, dragging her away from the bronze mirror. He then pulled her ear to his mouth and let out a battle roar:
"Drink!!"

"What should we do, Lord Blood Skull? You can't fly as fast as me!" Lu Ran, relying on his divine weapons and magical artifacts, kept getting closer to Blood Skull.

Blood Skull stood high in the sky, with only a necklace around his neck, from which hung an incredibly heavy stone sculpture.

Blood Skull remained silent, only staring menacingly at Lu Ran, before plummeting downwards.

The next instant, his eyes widened suddenly!
Behind and to the left and right, divine power surged again.

"Shu~"

The Evil Shadow Guardian, accompanied by the Wind Emperor and the Slaughtering General, arrived from beyond the realm and appeared directly in mid-air, once again surrounding Blood Skull.

There was a crisp sound of "pop"!
Yan Shuangzi grabbed Xue Lu's head, her huge fingers gripping the top of his head tightly.

This time, it's not hair!
