Chapter 158, Aftermath

The summit of a high mountain.

The man in black holding a compass walked up to Lin Ran, looking puzzled.

He had never met Lin Ran, nor had he received any information that new people had been added to the mission.

He shook his head slightly. Seeing that Lin Ran was only at the early stage of the middle-level Divine Fire Realm, he didn't have much of a polite intention, since he was at the later stage.

"Where are the things?"

"What is that?"

Lin Ran felt that he had been mistaken for someone else again.

The other party frowned.

"Fire Spirit, don't try to fool me, I know it's on you."

"Here's what we'll do. Tell me the gist of what happened, and I'll give you the Fire Essence."

Lin Ran thought for a moment and then said.

The man in black frowned even more deeply, and other groups approached, drawing their knives.

The team leader waved his hand, signaling the men in black to leave. He stared at Lin Ran for a while, then noticed the Spirit Master.

"How dare you collude with alien races!"

He was "shocked," but Lin Ran could clearly hear a smile in his voice.

The Spirit Lord was startled and unconsciously tightened his grip on Lin Ran's arm.

Lin Ran smiled and patted the Spirit Master's head.

"For the sake of humanity, I'll give you one chance to explain the whole story."

"Ha, who do you think you are? How dare you..."

boom!

The leader of the men in black sneered, but his expression suddenly changed when he saw Lin Ran swing his fist.

Then, before he could react, he was blasted away by a four-colored fist imprint and disappeared into the lava with a bang.

The other men in black were stunned for a moment, then unleashed their auras, pressing down on Lin Ran.

"roll."

Lin Ran's expression was indifferent, and her syllables transformed into visible waves, rolling outwards in all directions.

The men in black were on high alert, launching various attacks and defensive maneuvers.

Unfortunately, there were only four people at the middle-level Divine Fire Realm, and all of them were at the initial stage. They were blasted away by the sound wave. The men in black were powerless to resist and were sent flying in all directions almost indistinguishably.

Lin Ran pouted, then looked at the still-unfinished battle at the ley lines, feeling somewhat impatient.

"Spirit Lord, let's go."

"it is good."

……

The battlefield of the ley lines.

The Fire Clan Chief and more than a dozen mid-level Divine Fire Realm experts clashed back and forth.

Below, near the outlet where the earth's ley line power was gushing forth, all the fire race had been killed, and only the human race stood there, using array formations to block the earth's ley line power from surging out.

The Fire Clan Chief was furious, but it was too late to change anything. If he went to the exit of the ley line to receive power, he would probably be killed by these people before he even got halfway there.

"Humans! You will pay the price for your actions sooner or later!"

The Fire Clan chieftain was filled with despair, and his attacks grew weaker and weaker.

The human race did not respond, but launched repeated attacks, steadily wearing down the fire race chieftain's strength.

The nearby fire creatures have been largely wiped out.

Suddenly, everyone frowned, sensing that Lin Ran's aura was rapidly approaching and showed no sign of stopping, as if she were about to intervene in the battle.

The group communicated using their mental powers and quickly finalized a plan.

The two broke away from the fight and blocked Lin Ran's path.

"No approaching this area..."

boom!

Before they could finish speaking, Lin Ran slapped them both, sending them flying hundreds of meters away.

Lin Ran's expression was indifferent. In his outstretched right hand, the blood-red flying sword trembled slightly before it rushed straight towards the Fire Clan.

Seeing this, some people instinctively tried to stop him, because the Fire Clan Chief was their prey, but he was too slow and couldn't keep up with the speed of the flying sword.

The Fire Clan Chief's face twisted in anger, and he immediately roared, his body rapidly expanding. However, just as he swelled up, he was pierced and passed through by the flying sword, freezing him in place.

After a brief pause, the Fire Clan Chief's body shattered into countless flames, leaving only a crimson crystal, which Lin Ran caught and stored away from a distance.

Lin Ran recalled his flying sword, glanced at the earth veins below, and then swung his sword.

A hundred-meter-long crescent moon sword aura reappeared out of thin air, flashed slightly, and rushed into the earth's vein exit. Then, a rumble came from deep underground, causing the ground within a radius of dozens of miles to tremble.

The golden light emanating from the ley lines suddenly weakened, fluctuating slightly before ceasing to emanate at all.

Lin Ran looked around. The others had dealt with the remaining fire tribe members, and then they surrounded him.

The man who had spoken with her in the courtyard earlier came out with a gloomy face.

"What do you mean by this, sir?"

"Were those people with you?"

Lin Ran pointed to a group of men in black who were rapidly approaching in the distance.

The man's expression changed slightly, but he remained silent.

Soon, the three parties met, and the atmosphere was unusually somber.

The leader of the men in black glanced at Lin Ran but didn't dare say anything. That punch just now made him realize that he was no match for this man.

He had no choice but to vent his anger on the man.

"This is what you call an arrangement?!"

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the crowd split into two camps, standing behind the leader of the men in black and the middle-aged man with a gloomy face, looking ready to fight.

Lin Ran was suddenly tugged by the Spirit Lord.

"Captain, something seems off down there?"

"Um?"

Lin Ran activated the Truth Eye Technique, and through the entrance to the ley lines, he saw the chaotic and rapidly growing power of the ley lines.

After a brief observation, he deduced that an explosion might occur here, and that without the Firefox, the barrier supporting the magma might disappear.

Immediately, he brushed his brow and communicated with the Heavenly Eye Imprint.

An invisible force permeated all directions, and the two groups of people who were about to fight each other stopped at the same time, looking at the human race's Heavenly Eye in shock.

Normally, the extermination of an alien race of this scale would almost certainly not attract the attention of the human race's Heavenly Eye!

The Heavenly Eye floats in the air, its crimson-gold pupils shimmering as it plunges into the void to collect information.

Soon, the Heavenly Eye moved, sweeping over the two groups of people below. Then, dozens of golden lights flew out and entered each person's body as a reward for destroying the alien race and allowing the human race to gain fortune.

Lin Ran was given another chance to deduce the results, but the time was much shorter than before.

Having received the reward, Lin Ran turned and left, disappearing into the lava.

The leader of the men in black and the gloomy-faced man exchanged a glance.

"He's not one of yours?" *2

As soon as they finished speaking, they felt a sense of foreboding. They had actually offended someone who could summon the human race's Heavenly Eye!

……

ground.

Lin Ran clenched her fist, and the pale golden light seemed to have a life of its own, pulsating like breath.

This is the reward given by the Heavenly Dao of the human race after acquiring fortune, based on his contributions. Compared to the last time, it's far inferior.

Temporarily putting away the golden light, Lin Ran pondered a way to quickly eliminate the alien race without overlooking any.

After filtering through my thoughts, a sudden idea popped into my head.

curse!

Every race has common characteristics. By using curses based on these characteristics, we can ensure that no other race is spared!

Lin Ran's eyes lit up, feeling that this direction was very likely.

"Spirit Lord, how can we completely annihilate an alien race, leaving not a single one alive?"

"Exterminate an entire clan..."

The Spirit Lord pondered for a moment, then said,

"Bloodline: Most races in the battlefield of the heavens pass on their lineage through bloodline. By using bloodline as a means, they will basically not miss any other races."

"But this requires methods... Zhou Yu's curse seems capable of doing so."
