Chapter 194, Meeting Ling Qiqi

"I've found you."

The demon, hidden in a dark cloud, noticed Lin Ran's gaze, its body stiffened instantly, and it instinctively tried to retreat and get away.

Suddenly a bright light appeared in his vision, followed by a whooshing sound, a sharp pain in his core, and his consciousness plunged into darkness.

Jian Linglong lowered her arm; the spy was not strong, a single sword aura would suffice.

No one paid any attention, but less than half an hour later, the aura of a powerful demon rapidly approached from behind.

The Spirit Lord looked back once.

"Seventh-tier demons, probably early seventh-tier, two of them."

"Get ready to fight."

Lin Ran opened her eyes and got up to move her body.

The fiery bird slowed down, and the two demons quickly caught up.

One is a lava demon whose body is made of rock and magma, and the other is an ice demon whose entire body is ice blue.

Both demons possessed the aura of the early seventh rank, and their combined strength was estimated to be comparable to that of the mid- or late-stage seventh rank.

The Fiery Bird hovered in the air, shrank its body, and hid to the side. Nangong Yu followed it away, not participating in the battle, as she was not in good condition.

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, it was also at the sixth rank, but its combat power was no match for a genius like Yan Lingfei.

The two demons stopped a hundred meters away and mumbled something in their tongues.

The Spirit Lord said, "It's the language of the demon race. I haven't studied it systematically. It seems they mean we should follow them. They must have ill intentions."

Lin Ran cracked her knuckles: "Then there's no need to ask, let's get started!"

The words fell.

Yan Lingfei clapped her hands together, then pulled them apart to the left and right, and a massive deathmatch projection appeared out of thin air, encompassing both of them.

The Spirit Master and Zhou Yu retreated to a corner, leaving the battlefield to Lin Ran and Jian Linglong.

"Curse!"

"Cursed Fire!"

Zhou Yu tentatively used the curse, firstly to strengthen Lin Ran, and secondly to weaken the Lava Demon.

The curse landed on the lava demon, but the demon's aura barely changed, seemingly having no effect.

Clang!

With a resounding clang, Jian Linglong, wielding her flying sword, flashed and sent the Frost Demon flying, leaving a deep wound on its chest that almost pierced through its body!

Lin Ran raised his hand and clenched his fist. With a quick movement of his feet, he appeared in front of the Lava Demon. His seemingly ordinary punch struck the Lava Demon squarely in the chest.

boom!

The lava demon's chest exploded, sending countless streams of lava flying out, but it didn't significantly affect its combat effectiveness.

It brought its arms together in front of it, trying to engulf Lin Ran, while simultaneously spewing out a stream of lava from its mouth.

Lin Ran dodged the lava and the arm with a flash, activated the Truth Eye Technique at full power, swept across the lava demon's body, locked onto the opponent's core position, and then threw a punch.

boom!

A flash of golden light appeared, and the lava demon's waist shattered, revealing an irregular core interwoven with black and red, covered in cracks, almost shattered by a single punch!

Its core trembled, attempting to control the lava to repair its body, but Lin Ran grabbed it and severed its connection with its body with a burst of spiritual energy.

The lava demon's body instantly lost control, shattering into countless rocks and lava that scattered everywhere.

the other side.

With a single sword strike, Jian Linglong sent the Frost Demon flying. Then, she thrust out another sword, piercing its head directly. With a backhand swing, she severed the head off, but there was no core inside.

"Curse Soldier!"

A grand, cold voice rang out.

A bloody light appeared on both Jian Linglong and the flying sword. Then, she slashed down with her sword, cleaving the Frost Demon in two without any hindrance.

The temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and ice appeared out of nowhere, trying to freeze her.

Jian Linglong raised her hand and shook it, and sword energy burst out, instantly shattering the ice layer. Then she swung her flying sword again, and several sword shadows rushed out, cutting the body of the Frost Demon into pieces.

After nine sword shadows, Jian Linglong locked onto its core location and thrust out a sword, knocking the core away.

call out!

The core of the Frost Demon tried to escape, but a beam of white light descended from the sky, trapping it inside. Then, Jian Linglong grabbed it.

Click, click...

The shards of ice fell and disappeared, refined by the deathmatch arena, turning into specks of light that entered Jian Linglong's body.

Yan Lingfei controlled the shrinking of the deathmatch arena, and everyone returned to the back of the Fiery Bird, allowing it to continue its journey.

"Brother Lin, this stuff is hard to digest."

Yan Lingfei poked at the demon's core; the energy inside was too chaotic.

The Spirit Lord grasped a core,

"Why don't you try it with me?"

"it is good."

The Spirit Lord controlled the origin, and Yan Lingfei controlled the deathmatch arena. The demon core melted at a visible speed, was refined into pure power, and then condensed into a crystal.

Before long, both cores were completely refined, and the Spirit Lord exhaled.

"Alright, you can absorb it now."

Lin Ran picked up a piece, sensed it briefly, and then shook her head.

"It's not very useful to me. Ling Fei and Zhou Yu can use it first, and there will be more demons later."

"it is good."

In the blink of an eye, the Fiery Bird had been flying for two days.

There was no follow-up to the demons that were killed earlier. It's unclear whether they were afraid or for some other reason not to pursue them.

this day.

Lin Ran's expression suddenly changed as she received a response from Ling Qiqi.

He regularly sends messages to Ling Qiqi, and this is the first time he has received a response.

"Brother Lin! I've come to find you!"

The distance between him and Ling Qiqi was closing much faster after he sensed their location again.

Lin Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief. Judging from Ling Qiqi's condition, she was doing quite well and hadn't been affected by the battle.

At this time, demons appeared more and more frequently on the dark brown earth, probably because we had arrived at a place where demons gathered, possibly the territory of a great demon.

Many demons cast malicious glances, but the next moment they were pierced through the core by a sword aura and died on the spot.

No demons took the initiative to provoke them; most of the demons they encountered were of a lower cultivation level than the group.

……

Most of the day later.

Lin Ran could clearly sense Ling Qiqi's location. Her speed had increased significantly, and from the fluctuations in her soul's origin, she could sense her excited emotions.

However, from another direction, an aura similar to Ling Qiqi's was approaching, and the chaotic aura clearly belonged to a demon.

Soon.

Lin Ran's gaze shifted, piercing through layers of space, and she saw Ling Qiqi rapidly approaching.

At this moment, Ling Qiqi, apart from the many clothes she was wearing, perfectly matched the characteristics of a succubus. If it weren't known that she was once a human, probably no one would doubt that she was actually a demon.

On the other side, the aura of demons was also very close.

Lin Ran glanced around and saw another succubus.

In terms of physique alone, she is almost identical to Nangong Yu. However, perhaps because she is from the Demon Realm, her appearance is only average, and her skin is dark purple, which does not conform to the general aesthetic standards of the human race.

Not long after, the two succubi encountered Lin Ran almost simultaneously.

"Brother Lin!"

Ling Qiqi lunged forward and pounced on Lin Ran, hugging her tightly.

The other succubus, who was half a step behind, frowned and immediately manipulated her spiritual energy, transforming it into a large hand that reached out to grab the Fiery Bird.

Clang!

With a flash of sword light, the giant hand of spiritual energy was shattered.

Jian Linglong, holding a flying sword, stood in front of the succubus.

Lin Ran glanced at her and patted Ling Qiqi's head.

"How do we deal with it?"
