Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 287 Empress Yan Ji, Slaughtering the Judge!
The trial was abruptly ended by Lu Ran, who appeared out of nowhere.

Judge Durank was stunned for a moment, and not only him, but all twelve other judges were dumbfounded!

For so many years, no one has dared to interrupt their Holy Tribunal's meetings!
Even if you want to plead your case, you should do it before you begin.

Once the Court of Judgment has issued its ruling, no one can change it!
Durant's expression darkened, and he pointed at Lu Ran, cursing:
"You actually took Ye Xinxia out of the Holy Maiden Palace! Do you know what you're doing?! You're provoking our Holy Tribunal! We have the right to try you as well!"

"How did you get in? Did Hailong let you in?!"

The other judges stared coldly at Lu Ran, full of curiosity.

This conference room is protected by a barrier; even if Hailong tried to force his way in, it would cause quite a commotion.

The person in front of us had infiltrated silently, and he was even bringing the criminal Ye Xinxia with him!
Under the watchful eyes of all the judges, Lu Ran smiled, found a seat, and looked around at them, saying with a smile:
"How did I get in? I just walked in, of course."

"None of you thirteen judges recognize me?"

"I've provoked the Holy Tribunal, so what can you do about it?"

Upon hearing this, the judges felt breathless and were about to explode with anger.

Since when can provoking the Holy Tribunal be brought into the open?

"You're Lu Ran, right? You've come to save Ye Xinxia? Didn't Old Song tell you how serious this matter is?"

"The outcome of everything will only be known when the judges of our Holy Tribunal cast their stones to determine guilt or innocence!"

In the audience, one of the judges who had cast the stone of innocence slammed his hand on the table.

This "Old Song" naturally refers to Old Man Bao.

Clearly, he was Old Man Bao's contact person.

Lu Ran knew that the judge was trying to exonerate himself and steer the conversation towards a new topic. From his perspective, provoking the Holy Tribunal was not a good thing.

But Lu Ran clearly doesn't need that.

Seeing that Lu Ran still had a cold and indifferent look, Durank became even more furious. He instigated one of the judges beside him and gave the order:
"Go, seize this thief, and re-apprehend the criminal Ye Xinxia!"

The judge beside Durank was from his faction and also had a cultivation level of Super Rank 2, making him quite powerful.

Just as this person was about to reprimand Lu Ran, he was paralyzed with fear by Lu Ran's cold glare!
That one glance seemed to be filled with endless killing intent, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at it!

Durant froze. He glanced at the judge beside him, who was sweating profusely and backing down, and cursed heavily:
"waste!"

Durant looked at Lu Ran and sneered:
"Fine, I'll execute you myself!"

He, Durank, also possesses the strength of a fully-trained master of the Super-Order!

Killing a mere upstart who has just entered the Super Rank would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

"I wouldn't even need to use my primary lightning element to kill you!"

Durank waved his hands, and powerful soul flames illuminated the entire conference room!

Across from him, Reina, the old man's contact, couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and pointed at Durant, saying:

"Duranke, you're insane! You actually want to kill a Kyushu senator in Parthenon?"

Reina had thought that such a reminder would make Durant more restrained.

But Durank ignored him completely, coldly snorting, "He forcibly took away the criminal Ye Xinxia and disrupted the Holy Judgment Meeting; he must die!"

Before he could finish speaking, two powerful crimson flames suddenly flew towards Lu Ran.

In an instant, a burst of flames engulfed Lu Ran and Ye Xinxia!

Reina stood there, stunned, seemingly unable to believe it.

Lu Ran was consumed by flames just like that?

Dead, dead?

All the judges shared this thought: Wasn't Lu Ran of Kyushu the youngest super-level mage?

"He died so easily?" Durank initially didn't believe it either, but after discovering there was no movement at all within the flames, he sneered:

"He's just a greenhorn who's barely entered the Super-Rank stage. He could be wiped out with a flick of his finger in front of us veteran Super-Rank mages!"

Just two seconds after he finished speaking, Durank suddenly noticed that the faces of the judges around him had changed!

They turned deathly pale!

what's the situation?
Durant turned around abruptly and saw a scene that horrified him!
Ye Xinxia and Lu Ran, who were devoured by the soul fire, were completely unharmed!

Even the sleeves weren't damaged at all!
"This is what you call playing with fire?"

Lu Ran chuckled softly and summoned Yan Ji.

In front of all the judges, Lu Ran calmly took out the Elixir of Time and gave it to Yan Ji to drink.

Everyone else had a bad feeling about it.

But when Durank saw Yan Ji, he was overjoyed: "This is the Fire Elemental Holy Spirit Yan Ji, wasn't she said to have been extinct for a long time?!"

Lu Ran laughed. He was about to die but didn't even realize it, and he was still plotting against Yan Ji.

After drinking the Elixir of Time, Xiao Yan Ji's life level underwent a qualitative change, ascension, and leap!

When Little Flame Princess was born, she absorbed the pure energy of the Star Language Tree, and her life level limit broke through the Invincible Monarch level, reaching the level of Sub-Emperor or even Emperor!

This time, the infusion of the Time Elixir first caused changes in Little Flame Princess's petite body.

A fiery queen, wearing a crown of flames and with a beautiful figure, appears!
Sensing the terrifying aura and oppressive force emanating from the Flame Princess, Durank, who had just been laughing, now looked crestfallen.

It was a tremor that originated from the spirit and soul!
Is this an emperor?!
No, not an emperor, but not far from being one; he's at least a sub-emperor!

"die!"

Lu Ran gave the order, and Queen Yan Ji's voice was clear and melodious: "Yes!"

In the hands of the Sub-Emperor Yan Ji, the Heavenly Calamity Flame was like a divine fire that burned away evil.

Durank tried to escape, only to find that the area had already been covered by a new spatial barrier!

Damn!

How could this kid possibly have a sub-Emperor contract beast?!

Looking at the approaching Heavenly Tribulation Flame, Durank felt a pang of sorrow; he wanted to stop it.

But he discovered that his defensive magic and all his defensive magical tools were nothing but decorations!

"what!!"

Within the divine fire, a figure roaring in pain could be vaguely seen—it was Durank!

In the blink of an eye, Durant was gone!

Even after Durant's death, the judges were still in shock.

Is Durant dead?
That's the chief judge of the Holy Tribunal!
It doesn't stop there.

Lu Ran looked at the other twelve judges and coldly issued the death order.

"Those who threw the stone of guilt shall all be executed!"

Queen Flame looked over and paused briefly on the stones they were holding.

"die!"

The Heavenly Calamity Flame was unleashed once more, its energy far surpassing that of the flames that had incinerated Durank!
The faces of the judges who had thrown the stone of guilt changed drastically:

"Lu, Lu Ran, you can't kill us!!!"

In an instant, the Emperor's Fire annihilated all these judges!

The endless flames shattered the barrier surrounding the conference room!
The entire Parthenon was ablaze with flames that shot straight into the sky!
