Chapter 152, A Strong Start but a Weak End

"Human, you have continued to wreak havoc within my imperial city; what is your punishment?!"

The minotaur said in a cold voice, his deep voice containing a special frequency that made people feel dizzy.

The nearby demons and beastmen quickly moved away, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire. Although this was a border city, belonging to the demons and beastmen, the internal competition was no less intense!

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback when she heard the minotaur's words, and then stroked her chin.

"Where did you copy those lines from?"

Minotaur: ? ? ?

Is this what you're supposed to focus on? Are you even listening to what I'm saying?

Feeling ignored, the minotaur was filled with rage. Two burning crimson flames erupted from the top of its horns. It lowered its head and stomped the ground, its massive body almost becoming a blur as it slammed forward.

Seeing this, Lin Ran couldn't help but shake her head and smile.

He raised his hand, and Jian Linglong's original flying sword fell into his hand.

He swung the sword forward with what appeared to be a slow but actually fast motion, leaving a bloody trail in the air with the tip of the sword, which then transformed into a crescent moon, as if it had sliced ​​through space.

hum~

The Crescent Moon Sword Qi trembled slightly and flew forward, faster than the Minotaur, striking it before it could react.

With a bang, the spiritual energy shield in front of the minotaur was shattered. Then, the crimson flames attempted to block it, but were then shattered by the sword energy.

The minotaur sensed something was wrong, but its forward momentum was unstoppable. It could only try its best to twist its body, but it was too late.

puff!

The crescent moon sword energy pierced through the minotaur's body, cleaving it in two from head to tail. Blood, entrails, and all sorts of other things were scattered all over the ground. The two halves of the corpse passed by Lin Ran from the left and right.

The Spirit Lord pulled on Lin Ran's clothes and pointed to a spot in the air.

"Where."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying sword took the initiative to attack, and in a flash, it pierced through the location pointed out by the Spirit Master.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

A scream rang out, and a soul almost identical to that of a minotaur appeared out of thin air, only to be pierced by the flying sword, the remaining sword intent quickly devouring its soul.

Within seconds, the minotaur's soul was covered by blood-red patterns, and finally shattered with a bang.

Lin Ran waved his hand, gathering up the mess on the ground, and then grabbed the minotaur's storage tool.

It then transformed into a rainbow of light, enveloping the spirit master and rushing out of the city.

The minotaur has only just broken through to the fifth rank and is of average strength, but that doesn't mean that all the demons and beastmen in the city are of similar strength.

Fifteen minutes after Lin Ran left.

Two demons and two orcs descended from the sky and landed at the city gate.

Upon seeing this, the other demons and beastmen all changed their expressions and fled the place, as if the four were untouchable floods and ferocious beasts.

The two demons and two beastmen paid no attention and used their abilities on the remaining bloodstains on the ground.

Soon, light appeared in the bloodstains, then transformed into a series of images, starting from when the minotaur set off.

However, when encountering humans, the image becomes blurry, unable to reflect Lin Ran's strength, realm, aura, etc.

The screen suddenly shook, then exploded into countless fragments of light with a snap, disappearing completely.

The wolf demon lowered its head and sniffed the bloodstains on the ground.

"He doesn't smell of humans anymore; he's already far away."

The antlers on the deer demon's head emitted a faint emerald green light, which flickered for a long time before disappearing.

"There were no soul fragments left. The Minotaur's soul was completely shattered. He must be skilled in soul-related techniques."

The two minotaurs had grim faces. The dead orc had some connection to them, though it wasn't anything special, but it was still a slap in their face!

"In that case, Wolf Three, Deer Six, I'll give you a few more demons to go and hunt down this guy. We must bring back his head. As for what's on him, we only want the corpses of our comrades."

"It's a minotaur," the orc said in a deep voice.

Wolf Three and Deer Six exchanged a glance and nodded.

Wolf Three: "Okay, but you need to send at least ten demons over, otherwise I'm worried something unexpected might happen."

Lu Liu: "Yes, the tracking will be handled by me and Wolf Three. The other demons must have sufficient fighting power."

The minotaur's expression shifted for a moment, then he nodded fiercely and gave Wolf Three and Deer Six a sinister look.

"good!"

……

outside the city.

Lin Ran, carrying the Spirit Master, sped up to the maximum speed, far away from the border city, and caught up with a remnant of the Sword Tomb who was on the run. With a casual sword strike, he killed the opponent.

For him now, killing someone at the lower level of the Divine Fire Realm is almost effortless; killing someone at the middle level of the Divine Fire Realm might be a bit more difficult.

The Spirit Lord suddenly said,

"Captain, I have a bad feeling. It seems like we're being watched."

"Are they demons and orcs from the border city?"

Lin Ran looked back, but in the vast wilderness, there was no sign of demons or beastmen.

The Spirit Lord sensed it carefully for a while, then nodded.

"really."

"Can you sense the specific level of cultivation?"

The Spirit Master shook his head: "The distance is too far, I can't sense it."

"Well, let's ignore them for now and deal with the remaining trouble first."

Lin Ran moved her feet, and wind-attribute spiritual energy surrounded her, instantly increasing her speed by three levels.

Half an hour later, the second remnant of the Sword Tomb was caught up and attempted to resist, but was killed by Lin Ran with a single sword strike.

After half a day of walking and stopping, they killed all the remaining Sword Tomb remnants who were at the lower level of the Divine Fire Realm. The remaining marks were all at the middle level of the Divine Fire Realm.

Lin Ran touched her chin and glanced back.

A demonic aura has been closely following him for two or three hours, but he hasn't been able to catch up because he's not fast enough.

He tried various methods, but none of them allowed him to shake off his opponent.

Lin Ran estimated the distance to the mid-level Divine Fire Realm and decided to deal with the pursuing demons first.

He stopped on a hilltop, and the demons that had been tracking him quickly entered the range of his mental energy.

Lin Ran sensed something and summoned the sword Linglong.

Jian Linglong transformed into human form, grasping her flying sword, while her true form was held by Lin Ran.

"Linglong, you look after the Spirit Master, I'll go deal with them."

Jian Linglong nodded slightly, her voice clear and cold, and she pulled the Spirit Master back.

"it is good."

In the distance, a row of black dots appeared in the sky, then rapidly enlarged, flying towards Lin Ran and the other two.

Before long, a group of fifteen demons landed around them, surrounding Lin Ran and the other two.

Wolf Three and Deer Six stepped out of the group, their gazes fixed on Lin Ran, then turned to the Spirit Lord, sensing the fatal attraction emanating from him.

Instinct tells them that if they can devour this elf, not only will their strength increase significantly, but their bloodline level and potential will also experience a qualitative leap!

"Human, you..."

Wolf Three's face was contorted with rage, and he was about to utter a threat when he sensed a chilling presence behind him, causing his hair to stand on end.

It lunged forward without hesitation, not even having time to look back.

Then, a blood-stained sword pierced its lower back. As it lunged forward, its powerful body was cut open like a block of tofu, leaving long gashes and even slicing open half of its buttocks!

Lin Ran revealed himself, loosened the hilt of his flying sword, and punched Lu Liu, who was standing to the side.

Lu Liu had already reacted, and lowered his head to fight back with his antlers, which shone with light.

boom!

The antlers shattered, and a golden fist pierced through, denting Lu Liu's head before exploding.

After killing Lu Liu with a single punch, Lin Ran turned and pounced on the injured Lang San.

Seeing this, the other demons acted without hesitation, but instead of attacking, they retreated...
