Time waits for no one!

After tidying up the battlefield, Lu Ran used the Treasure Gourd to gather all the soldiers inside, then hurried towards the Yan Paper God Mountain.

Under the sky shrouded in dark clouds, Lu Ran flickered continuously, feeling somewhat uneasy inside.

Strictly speaking, the first God Demon he worshiped on the God Worship Platform back then was not the Immortal Sheep.

But the Rou Paperman!

Later, on the night of his college entrance exam, Lu Ran encountered the Night of Ghosts of the Yan Zhi Clan within Rain Alley City, where every Rou Paperman seemed to have special feelings for him.

Lu Ran had visited the Demon Cave where the Rou Paperman resided and also the Yan Zhi Clan's headquarters within Holy Spirit Mountain.

Without exception, he received special treatment.

No matter how many humans there were, when Lu Ran was present, the Rou Papermen almost paid no attention to anyone else...

Lu Ran really couldn't understand why the Rou Papermen favored him so much.

Could it be that they really wanted to arrange a ghost marriage for him?

Well... hopefully not.

Lost in his wild thoughts, Lu Ran instantaneously teleported towards the northeast, and soon spotted some rather festive Mud Mountain Pig minions.

Fifth-class Evil Demon·Mud Mountain Pig!

To think, during New Year's at Cloud Sea Cliff once, Lu Ran had slaughtered these minions and roasted crispy pork belly to eat.

These large, entirely black wild boars had a pair of bloodshot eyes and appeared rather menacing.

So why were they called festive?

Because the big black pigs had festive red ribbons tied around their noses and bodies.

As if they'd once been bound.

It's hard not to think that Mud Mountain Pigs had been used as celebratory gifts or holiday goods.

The godliness of Mud Mountain Pig was also remarkably distinctive, being represented by a butcher named Qing Tu!

It sounds even more festive.

Lu Ran had a peculiar association, conjuring the image of a wealthy ancient family preparing for a celebration, with Qing Tu as the household butcher and chef, and Mud Mountain Pig being the ingredient that escaped its bindings.

With Lu Ran's ascension to the Heavenly Realm, his perspective broadened, learning that the fifth-class God Demon Qing Tu-Mud Mountain Pig is situated at Yan Paper God Mountain—

Everything suddenly made sense!

What else could this be other than the daughter of a wealthy family preparing for marriage!

With another flicker, Lu Ran looked forward to a sea of celebratory red.

Countless Rou Paperman minions were clashing against Jade Venerable minions.

But there was also another divine minion, resembling a delicate human-clan maiden.

She held a red floral candle in her hands, decorated with dragon and phoenix motifs.

She wore a red ancient long skirt, embroidered with beautiful golden cloud patterns.

Fourth-class God·Red Candle!

It was apparent that the Red Candle minions all had physical forms, evidently having devoured the Evil Demon aspect·Candle Shadow.

Undeniably, the fourth-class God·Red Candle was very outstanding, whether in appearance, figure, or demeanor.

Seeing her alone, you might even think that the Red Candle was the wealthy family's daughter ready for marriage.

Yet beside the Rou Paperman, the hierarchy was clear!

Who was the master, who was the maid, was easily discernible.

The aura of presence was truly remarkable...

The "crackling" sounds were incessant.

Lu Ran looked around and saw many Faceless Jade Venerable bodies twisting, like an invisible giant hand was squeezing them.

Then glancing at the Rou Paperman flying in the air, most of them held tiny paper mache figures, not enough to crush the Faceless Jade Venerable instantly, but visibly, the Jade Venerable Clan's actions were immensely hindered!

What was even more terrifying was that once the Faceless Jade Venerable was injured, its resistance weakened even a bit, escaping a crushing fate became impossible.

The combination of Qing Tu-Mud Mountain Pigs was excessively fierce!

On the black pigs, towering butcher's shadows appeared, blood-colored slaughter blades flailed, with meat hooks swinging wildly.

The black pigs themselves had thick skin and were hefty; they wore the clan's Mud Armor and burned with Red Candle's Candle Fire Shield.

Everything confronting Mud Mountain Pig head-on would suffer burns from the candle fire.

It had a hint of tit-for-tat.

Turning pork into jade, while burning your white jade robe.

The loss, of course, was greater for Mud Mountain Pigs.

But the big black pigs had assistance.

With various control and support techniques, the fifth-class God Demon minions Qing Tu-Mud Mountain Pigs managed to fiercely engage with the powerful Faceless Jade Venerable Clan.

Lu Ran observed the defense line closely for a moment, then shifted his gaze.

He looked far and wide, following the endless celebratory red towards the majestic Yan Paper God Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, massive Mud Mountain Pig Evil Sculptures were rolling in the mud, recklessly charging at the Jade Venerable Clan.

The powerful Qing Tu Divine Sculpture was at the rear, holding the formation.

Midway up the mountain, a Red Candle maiden stood silently, holding a gigantic floral candle, the flickering flame layering a burning Candle Fire Shield over the mountain warriors.

And at the peak of the God Mountain, a Divine Sculpture stood proudly alone.

Even as a gray stone sculpture, it did not hide its dignified poise and regal air.

She wore a beautifully crafted phoenix crown and a wide, divine robe, her eyes gazing afar at the horizon without knowing what she sought.

Perhaps she was waiting for something.

Evil God·Rou Paperman!

The wind was strong atop the mountain, her skirt danced lightly, occasionally lifting her sleeves, revealing the paper mache figure in her hand.

To her, the paper mache was only palm-sized.

But to Lu Ran, it was a paper mache giant measuring thirty to forty meters.

In the cultural context of Da Xia, such paper mached items inherently belonged to the underworld, magnified so much now!

It made Lu Ran's hair stand on end!

"Whew..." Lu Ran let out a deep breath, mentally contacting the Evil Shadow Guardian, releasing her from the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd.

This was his agreement with little Ruyi: upon arrival, let the Evil Shadow Guardian come forth to hold the formation to prevent any mishaps.

Yan Shuangzi naturally materialized in invisible form, quickly surveyed around, revealing a look of surprise.

The fierce battlefield front contrasted sharply with the festive atmosphere.

A moment later, a voice sounded in his mind from the Evil Shadow: [Master, nearby there are only Rou Paperman, Red Candle, Qing Tu, and Mud Mountain Pig, you can reveal yourself now.]

Lu Ran: "..."

To be honest, he's a bit scared.

He's not quite daring enough to appear directly beside the Rou Paperman, afraid she might crush the paper mache giant without a glance, and that his little body would be shattered along with it.

Better not be too reckless, let's take it easy.

Lu Ran flickered and appeared three kilometers to the right front of the Rou Paperman, quietly revealing himself.

At the Divine Mountain Peak, the poised female Evil God with wandering eyes gradually found focus.

Even though her eyes were made of stone, the expression was quite real.

Her eyes began to show some ripples, the beautiful gaze turning increasingly bright.

"Ah!"

"Hiss..."

"Ah!!" Many Rou Paperman lackeys noticed the figure in the sky and vaguely recognized the newcomer.

Even though Lu Ran was wearing a Blood Crystal Mask.

After all, his brows and eyes were exposed.

And most of the God Demons lackeys, including the God Demons themselves, do not know the background of this young man.

On the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, Human Clan believers were originally the laborers under the God Demons, but in the past few months, a special group of humans appeared, madly hunting God Demons!

Therefore, when God Qing Tu noticed the sudden appearance of the Human Clan, his spirit instantly tensed.

And when Qing Tu found that the unfamiliar human youth and the eyes of the lone Rou Paperman at the mountain peak were intersecting...

Qing Tu clenched the Blood Slaughter Blade in his hand even tighter!

What are these wretched humans up to?

Exchanging affectionate glances?

Is he trying to tempt the master?

Rou Paperman is indeed outrageously strong, with melee and ranged abilities, defense and substitute, control and summoning, and can even absorb myriad techniques into her sleeve, refining them into energy to replenish herself.

Her few shortcomings are that she lacks Spirit Defense Techniques!

"Bang!" The ground exploded under Qing Tu's feet as he leapt high, swinging a bloody iron hook with his large hand.

Qing Tu Divine Technique·Hanging Meat Hook!

Lu Ran: "..."

I'm just exchanging pleasantries with your Madam, why are you, a cook, getting involved?

"Whoosh~" The bloody meat hook sped rapidly towards him.

To the small human, this thing was excessively large, it might not hook Lu Ran, but it could certainly knock him flying.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran did not dodge left or right, but flew directly backwards.

Qing Tu's faction's Hanging Meat Hook is quite flexible, casters can swing it at will.

The shortcomings are also obvious: short!

The reason Qing Tu fell to a Fifth-class God is inseparably linked to this word.

Not only is the Hanging Meat Hook short!

The Blood Slaughter Blade in his hand is also short, the Sword Energy he releases is even shorter...

"Boom!"

The Hanging Meat Hook indeed fell short, landing on the ground along with its master, Qing Tu, without hesitation, exploded the ground again.

Lu Ran flew backwards while looking down.

Qing Tu seemed like a middle-aged man, although his face was slightly fuzzy, his expression could be seen as rigid, but his eyes were quite remarkable, sharp as a knife!

As if considering Lu Ran a live pig.

At the Divine and Evil Sculptures tier, everyone is a giant, but from the body proportions, you can still discern height, width, and girth.

Qing Tu is that extremely burly and sturdy kind!

His exposed arms, muscles knotted, seem to contain explosive power.

Qing Tu's faction indeed possesses the Divine Technique·Qing Tu's Strength, any living being wanting to wrestle with him must consider it well.

Lu Ran naturally doesn't plan to clash head-on, continuing to fly backwards.

Qing Tu had already jumped to the peak, before falling, he swung a blade fiercely towards Lu Ran.

In an instant, countless sword edges, spreading fan-shaped forward.

Qing Tu Divine Technique·Bone-shaving Mad Saber!

Lu Ran's retreating figure abruptly accelerated, directly withdrawing from the Mad Saber's output range.

Qing Tu was already descending, within the aerial fan-shaped region, countless sword energies still surging, the small human was outside the fan region, silently standing.

If it were another God Demon, Lu Ran would flicker to escape, or summon twelve parts of spirit to dart in the endless sword edges.

But facing Qing Tu... Hmm, you just keep flying backwards.

He's too short...

"Hehe~" A gentle laugh sounded from the Divine Mountain Peak.

Rou Paperman raised a hand, the dragon and phoenix embroidered sleeve covering her mouth, her eyes shimmering, watching the scene from afar.

Lu Ran realized he could go over, without being mistakenly hurt or casually crushed by Rou Paperman.

But Lu Ran also realized, that a certain god below was raging!

Qing Tu actually bent down to grab a handful of Mud Mountain Pig on the ground, along with heaps of mud, and flung it upwards.

Lu Ran: "..."

Are you a child?

Even fighting involves throwing mud.

"Oink!"

"Oink!!" Several Mud Mountain Pigs twisted their bodies frantically, spraying large swaths of mud from their mouths, covering the sky and blocking vision.

Mud spray was not enough, there were even mud cannons!

Huge energy balls formed by the mud elements, gathered in the pig mouths, randomly fired.

"Whoa!" Lu Ran's heart was shocked.

I wrongly accused you!

Such a blood-boiling Combined Skill...
