"You're quite bold, kiddo," a young voice suddenly erupted from behind.

Lu Ran, still in midair, immediately turned his head to look.

He saw Lang Zhixuan holding a square halberd, standing in the forest below.

Lu Ran clenched the handle of his blade tighter. With a shared thought, the speed of the falling Rosy Clouds Blade slowed down, leading Lu Ran to a steady landing.

Since acquiring the Divine Weapon, Lu Ran, to some extent, possessed the ability to fly.

If he wished, Lu Ran could even master flying with the blade!

But that was not Lu Ran's style of combat.

And to tell the truth, the Rosy Clouds Blade was quite slender; it probably wouldn't make for a very stable stand...

"Is that the 'Evil Technique·Night Shadow Charm Trace'? You really dared to challenge it?" Lang Zhixuan half-teased and half-admired as he watched Lu Ran land.

Lu Ran swung the Rosy Clouds Blade in his hand: "I have the Divine Weapon, what should I fear?"

The Rosy Clouds Blade buzzed gently in agreement with Lu Ran's response.

"Fair point," Lang Zhixuan nodded.

Perhaps only those who wield a Divine Weapon dare to clash blades directly with the Night Charm Clan.

If you're just a common Believer, the moment you see the Beifeng Clan unleash the 'Divine Technique·Residual Wind Trace,' or encounter the Night Charm Clan releasing the 'Evil Technique·Night Shadow Charm Trace'...

Don't hesitate, just run!

Want to keep your life, no shame in that~

Anyone daring enough, Beifeng and Night Charm wouldn't hesitate to cleave both person and weapon into halves!

"Buzz!!"

Suddenly and strangely, Lu Ran felt his head buzz.

The abrupt phenomenon made his face change color, thinking perhaps he was struck by some evil technique.

Not right!

The Night Charm Clan doesn't seem to have any psychic techniques... Oh, it's you.

Lu Ran was delighted in his heart!

In his psychic world, inside the Evil Demon Sculpture Garden.

That huge Night Charm Evil Sculpture was buzzing and trembling, clearly undergoing an upgrade.

Lu Ran realized in his heart, had the Night Charm he just killed had its soul sucked over here?

Lu Ran hadn't activated the 'Divine Technique·Pupil of the Netherworld,' so naturally, he couldn't see creatures from another dimension.

At this moment, filled with joy, he spiritually connected with the Night Charm Evil Sculpture in his mind.

River Realm·Fifth Rank!

Ah~ Feels good!

Once leveled up one more time, I can start creating Evil Demon minions.

I could control the Night Charm Clan to go out and spook people at night... Eh, forget it.

Such an action would be utterly heartless.

Better to summon them to serve as housekeepers, bringing me tea, doing laundry... cough, not exactly.

Better to summon them to feed Little Yuanxi, clean the cat litter.

"Brother!" Qiao Yuansi's voice approached from afar like a swallow returning to its nest, diving into Lu Ran's embrace.

"Whoa," Lu Ran came back to his senses, instinctively opening his arms.

Qiao Yuansi turned into a human cannonball, directly pushing Lu Ran back several steps.

"You scared me to death!" Qiao Yuansi was both shocked and annoyed, her forehead gently bumping Lu Ran's chin.

Lu Ran threw his head back: "Uh."

"Next time, you can't do this!" Qiao Yuansi looked up at him, eyes filled with worry, "That was the Night Shadow Charm Trace!"

Up to this point, two people had spoken to Lu Ran, and the focus was all on the 'Evil Technique·Night Shadow Charm Trace'.

This further indicates, the technique's reputation for being lethally effective was legend!

Lu Ran's earlier dive into the night sky, in ordinary peoples' eyes, was really akin to courting death.

"Alright, alright, I understand," Lu Ran patted Little Yuanxi's back gently, pressing the Rosy Clouds Blade to it.

Qiao Yuansi still clung to Lu Ran, feeling waves of fear in her heart.

"Lots of people are watching," Lu Ran whispered.

"Hmm," Qiao Yuansi pursed her lips and turned to leave.

The Rosy Clouds Blade lay against the back of the girl, though it no longer diffused any rosy glow.

Lu Ran turned to look at Lang Zhixuan, shrugging helplessly.

Lang Zhixuan said, "Don't look at me, if I were this little girl, I wouldn't be happy either."

Lu Ran: "..."

Are you taking sides now?

Lu Ran muttered to himself and walked towards the lake area.

Seeing Lu Ran return, Guan Yiren spoke softly, "It seems you don't need teammates."

She had entered the Night Charm Demon Cave with the goal of strengthening and advancing.

In facing most Evil Demons, Guan Yiren found it hard to train effectively.

Only the Night Charm, with their rapid speed and flying blades, could help Guan Yiren progress quickly.

Guan Yiren had deliberately called Lu Ran over, of course, to keep the team safe.

She didn't want the three-member team to be killed in disgrace, often having to rely on soldiers for protection.

Guan Yiren had never imagined, Lu Ran, his strength was a bit over the top!

Supposedly playing a supportive role, he instead became a main attacker!

This...

Before, in the car on the way here, Lu Ran had once said that he had robbed a scene from a Heavenly Pride sister.

Now Guan Yiren personally experienced how Lu Ran stole the spotlight!

"How could that be?" Lu Ran waved his hands quickly, "This is also our first time fighting Night Charm, we still need to coordinate."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yiren's expressionless face showed a complex smile as she gently shook her head.

Months ohneighborseo Lu 泽 past.

In her plans, it was Guan Yiren who would combat the Night Charm.

He would surreptitiously hide, and at the most crucial moment, shout to attract the Night Charm's attention.

This way, they would be safer, and the Night Charm would die without pain!"

Guan Yiren: "..."

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the tree: "Your 'Voice of Compassion,' seems quite unique."

"Ah," Lu Ran looked up, "Lord Immortal Sheep favors me, he taught me the special method of the 'Voice of Compassion'."

Lu Ran briefly explained, causing Xiao Yusong and others to marvel secretly.

Zhang Ya remained silent, repeatedly sighing inwardly, "Ah..."

Despite being unwilling, Zhang Ya had to admit, the boy before her truly had a basis for his arrogance!

Martial arts, techniques, combat skills.

And that immensely strong heart!

Only in his late teens, yet already possessing his own Divine Weapon.

Aware of the formidable Night Charm, yet he kept the Divine Weapon with his sister.

Zhang Ya witnessed the whole scene, Lu Ran's gallant figure as he slew the Night Charm across the lake.

Without exaggeration, Lu Ran had indeed defeated the Night Charm head-on!

Upon his return to the woods, facing the second Night Charm activating the 'Evil Technique·Night Shadow Charm Trace,' Lu Ran finally drew the Divine Weapon - Rosy Clouds Blade.

Under the cold moonlight, he left a trail of spectacular rosy clouds.

So... what kind of youth was this?

Zhang Ya watched Lu Ran silently, her gaze growing more complex.

She had long guarded the Night Charm Demon Cave, leading countless Da Xia talents, what kind of geniuses hadn't she seen?

Today, Zhang Ya truly had her eyes opened!

The words Lu Ran had said to her before still echoed in her ears:

"I assure you, you've never met anyone like me."

The past Zhang Ya had scoffed at those words!

But now she... was utterly baffled.

"Captain, will our plan work?" Qiao Yuansi raised her head, looking towards the tree branches.

"What?" Zhang Ya came back to her senses, looking at the young girl.

Qiao Yuansi, dissatisfied, glared at her brother and under Lu Ran's insistent gaze, still spoke to Zhang Ya, "Let my brother stay on the side of the team, not within it.

Captain, we won't let him stray too far from the team, just as long as he can draw the attention of the Evil Demons from another direction..."

The girl elaborated further, and everyone turned to look at the stern captain.

And this time, Zhang Ya didn't immediately reject with severity.

Unwilling to respond?

That was a response itself!

Evidently, Zhang Ya still didn't support this tactic, but amidst Lu Ran's impressive performance, she seemed to have diffulty opposing...

This scene made Lang Zhixuan smile secretly.

He had followed teams before, managing a group of young masters and mistresses, and their captain was the Zhang Ya before them.

Lang Zhixuan had personally witnessed how Zhang Ya trained that group of Heaven's Chosen like they were grandchildren.

Yet now, facing Lu Ran, she had kept silent?

"Cough, cough." Lang Zhixuan coughed, timely bailing out his senior, "You don't need to go any further.

Let's wait by Crescent Lake, for the Night Charm to walk into our trap."

"Wait?" Lu Ran looked at Lang Zhixuan.

"Yes!" Lang Zhixuan explained, "The Night Charm Demon Cave is thickly forested, with the lake area being a relatively rare scene.

The Night Charm Clan is often drawn to the water and gathers here.

Many lakes within the Demon Cave, including Crescent Lake here, are artificially created."

Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully, learning something new: "So, Captain Zhang brought us here.

This site is meant for hunting the Night Charm Clan?"

"That's right," Lang Zhixuan nodded, "You can set an ambush here, even if we split into two groups, we three can still look after you four."

"Great!" Lu Ran was thrilled.

With only 7 days for this expedition, his biggest fear was aimlessly wandering without finding enemies.

Since the lakes have such a useful purpose, why worry about not summoning souls?

It was just unknown how efficient this lake was in attracting the Night Charm.

The Evil Sculpture in the Sculpture Garden always had a massive demand for souls whenever it ascended a great realm!

Suddenly, Lu Ran spoke up, suggesting, "If the Night Charm come too slowly, can we have Little Yuanxi deploy the Bright Fire Cage?

Let's stoke the fire a bit and draw the Night Charm over?"

For a moment, everyone's expressions were quite something, finding Lu Ran a bit too audacious...

Little did they know, Lu Ran really needed those souls.

Lu Ran's idea was simple: Since it's a positional battle, we can let loose a bit.

If we really accidentally attract a few more Night Charm, then let Captain Zhang Ya, Xiao Yusong, and Lang Zhixuan take them on!

Who kills Night Charm without dropping souls?

Jiang Realm Great Power, River Realm Peak's Heavenly Pride...

Just work and it's done~

Up in the tree, Zhang Ya couldn't hold back any longer and finally spoke up!

She didn't look at Lu Ran, but towards the shimmering Crescent Lake in the distance, saying sternly, "Enough is enough."

Lu Ran shrank his head, saying softly, "Oh."

His timid appearance, contrasting starkly with his earlier brash words, resembled a high school student being scolded by the teacher...
