The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"Why do I feel like you haven't fully unleashed your potential yet!"

Lilith asked, slightly out of breath.

In this battle, she used almost all her strength, but she still felt that Gu Ran was fighting her with ease.

"Are you underestimating me?"

Lilith gritted her teeth and swung her spear with all her might.

At the same time, the raging black flames turned white!

These white flames, unlike the black flames, are extremely destructive to the surrounding environment.

In just a moment, the white flames enveloped Gu Ran.

sizzle--

White flames are far more corrosive to objects than black flames.

Gu Ran could feel his mental energy being rapidly depleted.

Then, the white flames completely engulfed everything.

The land covered in white flames on the wilderness is sinking deeper and deeper.

171. The Demon Legion retreats, Black-hearted Xueyingsong 4k

On the desolate land, a huge crater is forming.

The soil seemed to have vanished into thin air.

White flames burned fiercely within the giant pit.

Lilith looked completely drained, her body swaying precariously.

She leaned on her spear, looking wearily at the huge crater.

"Did he succeed? If he did, he shouldn't have failed like this. If he didn't, it's better that he's dead," Lilith murmured to herself.

The next moment, Lilith's expression changed.

She sensed a strong pulse beating within the giant pit.

The white flames slowly disappeared.

Gu Ran, standing in the middle of the giant pit, was exposed. His body was charred, and his clothes had been completely destroyed.

If he hadn't stored a lot of clothes in the space of the triangular crystal cone, he would have been naked.

Although he looked terrible, with his body charred black, he was actually not seriously injured; it just looked bad.

“You… you really didn’t die.” Lilith’s gaze toward Gu Ran was complex, a mixture of joy and anger.

Before Gu Ran could think further, Lilith's words came through.

"You won this time, but it's hard to say what will happen next time."

After saying that, Lilith flew towards Azure Dragon City.

?

What does this mean?

Could it be that they're trying to find a way to back out?

I won this time? So, will there be a next time?

Does she intend to continue fighting me indirectly by using the tactic of changing the bet if she succeeds in the challenge?

Gu Ran couldn't help but start thinking of a solution.

While pondering this, Gu Ran hurried back to Canglong City.

When Gu Ran followed Lilith back to Azure Dragon City, he discovered that the demon legion had already begun to withdraw its troops.

"Haha, come fight me again! I haven't had enough yet! Why are you running away!?"

Andy, the S-class bounty hunter who was already struggling to hold on, was overjoyed to see the fleeing demon army.

As if he had driven away the demon army, he even turned back to chase after them, shouting and cursing behind them.

Although his appearance was very impressive, the demon legion was not an easy opponent, and he soon began to feel uncomfortable.

He believes he has done a good job in terms of professional ethics by persisting until now.

Once we get back, we have to get the central government of Canglong City to give us more money!

Somewhat disheveled, Andes just wanted revenge and to vent his anger.

"Noisy!"

Lilith frowned when she saw the annoying Andis, and a large cluster of black flames flew towards him.

"Flames? Fine, let's see if your flames are hotter or my ice is colder!"

Andes, far from being worried, was delighted and appeared quite enthusiastic.

"Field of Ice!"

Andes used his most frequently used and most proficient move, freezing everything around him.

In the past, this move was almost always successful. No one could avoid being defeated by it, not even the demons of the abyss.

To his surprise, the black flames seemed completely unaffected and flew straight towards him.

The dropping temperature around them seemed to have no effect on them.

"What kind of flame is this?"

As the temperature of the approaching black flames grew, Andis couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

He tried to escape further, but he was too late; the black flames had already engulfed him.

"These flames... Ah! Get down from me! Go away! Leave me!"

Andes suddenly unleashed an icy aura several times stronger than before.

Even the surrounding air began to tremble, forming a faint frost.

"Hmph, someone with this level of strength dares to disrespect me." Lilith snorted coldly, and sensing Gu Ran approaching from behind, she ignored the human.

A massive portal suddenly appeared, and all the demons knew what was about to happen as soon as they saw it, and they all rushed toward the portal.

This portal is very large and covers a wide area.

Even the entire demon army was teleported in a short time.

Moreover, no one stopped the demon legion from teleporting.

Lilith took one last look at Azure Dragon City, then turned to look at Gu Ran behind her before stepping into the spatial portal.

"Another teleportation device."

Gu Ran stared thoughtfully at the enormous spatial portal.

Andes used every means at his disposal, even freezing his skin to the point of crystallization, to barely manage to consume the black flames.

What exactly are these flames?

Andes was still shaken.

The demon legion came quickly and left quickly; at least compared to a normal war, the demon legion's attack and retreat took a very short time.

To Gu Ran's surprise, and then with a sense of "as expected," not a single civilian died in the direction the demon legion attacked.

Because the buildings are all empty buildings, and the rooms are all empty houses.

However, unlike the slums, every street in the inner city has a tunnel, and this tunnel system covers almost the entire inner city.

Seemingly because of his battle with Lilith, Gu Ran discovered that his psychic power had become even stronger.

It seemed that because he had to pass through thick ground, he couldn't initially perceive these tunnel systems in great detail.

However, now he can not only sense things in detail with his telekinesis, but also sense them over a very wide range.

He thus discovered that many of the inner city's residents were actually hiding in the underground tunnels, and now the broadcasting system was gradually and orderly bringing them back to the surface. The related reconstruction work would be carried out by a new temporary special committee, funded by the public finances of Azure Dragon City.

Gu Ran was about to return to Lanxin University when he discovered that Xue Yingsong had already led the awakened students of Lanxin University, along with a group of people dressed as officials and city defense soldiers from Canglong City, to take over the area attacked by the demon legion.

"Snow-Welcoming Pine? What's going on? Shouldn't it be people from the central governing body coming over?" Andes asked, somewhat surprised.

Having lived in Canglong City for many years, he was familiar with some of the basic rules and regulations.

For example, the work of overseeing post-war reconstruction must be taken over by the ruling central government, especially in areas like those now that have been devastated, where even a senior figure needs to step in to lead the work.

Because a large area was destroyed and the broadcasting system was completely destroyed, Andis did not hear Xue Yingsong's broadcast.

He still believes that Azure Dragon City is still the ruling center that hired him to stop the demon legion, and that it holds supreme power.

Suddenly, Andy spotted the person who had spoken to him about hiring him in Xueyingsong's group, and a realization dawned on him.

"It seems that the ruling center temporarily appointed the president of Lanxin University. After all, the president of Lanxin University has such a high reputation in Canglong City. His presence is equivalent to that of a senior official, or perhaps even several senior officials."

Andes smiled wryly.

He had heard about the conflicts between the ruling center and the president of Lanxin University in earlier years, and he had also speculated that the ruling center might be targeting Lanxin University this time and diverting its resources elsewhere. Otherwise, why were there so few soldiers from Canglong City on the front lines?
