"Ah!!"

In a residential house in Jinchuan City, Liaodong Province, a girl leapt up from the couch in the living room, cheering and jumping excitedly.

"Si Xianxian!"

Mother Si clenched her teeth, looking at her daughter who was alternating between shock and excitement, and was genuinely frightened.

"Lu Ran was imitating the way I talk, his tone was exactly the same!" Si Xianxian's face was filled with amazement, pointing at the television screen.

Her mother, Si Caiqin, was taken aback.

Just now, Lu Ran's mutter had naturally reached thousands of households.

Si Caiqin had felt that the line "I'm giving you face here" had sounded very familiar.

Now, the case was thoroughly cracked!

Every time her daughter said this to someone, a fierce battle was sure to follow...

Si Caiqin was irate, "Can't you teach people something good?"

Si Xianxian: ???

He learned it himself, why are you scolding me?

Si Caiqin continued, "Sit properly already, you're a girl, what will you look like! Who will marry you in the future?"

"Who said I want to get married?" Si Xianxian stomped her foot resentfully and turned to head to her bedroom.

"What are you doing?" Si Caiqin asked.

"I'm going to watch on my computer," Si Xianxian answered back directly.

"Come back here!" Si Caiqin's heart tightened, immediately saying so.

Watching on the computer was not the same as watching a television broadcast.

In the livestream room of the official Heavenly Pride website, there were barrages of comments!

Reminiscing about the night of February 15th, Si Xianxian was cursing nonstop, almost smashing the keyboard to pieces.

If it hadn't been discovered in time, her anger might have set the whole house on fire; how could Mother Si let her daughter watch the computer again?

Tonight, it had taken much persuasion from Si Caiqin to get her daughter to watch TV with her in the living room.

And now, in just a few words, her daughter was starting to act up again.

"Si Xianxian!" Si Caiqin watched her daughter continue to walk and said, "If you keep disobeying like this, I will tell Lu Ran!"

Si Xianxian suddenly stopped, her face showing disbelief as she turned to look at her mother.

Si Caiqin: "..."

Si Xianxian: "..."

Awkward silence!

All this time, it had always been others coming to Si Caiqin to tattle, and now here she was, a mother, saying such words.

Hmm... quite magical indeed.

"Neighhh~~~"

Suddenly, a long horse neigh sounded from the television.

Si Caiqin acted as if nothing had happened and urged, "Come over quickly, don't miss his fight."

Si Xianxian, with a strange expression on her face, thought it over and still came back.

On the television screen, flames soared into the sky, with ghastly winds arising from all directions!

The Ghost General was seen holding a flagpole, firmly planting it into the ground.

"Hu!!"

In the blink of an eye, a semi-transparent black dome was unfolded, spanning a radius of about 20 meters.

Within it, wisps of black mist drifted about, giving off a heavy ghostly aura.

Ghost General Evil Technique·Ghost General's Banner!

This technique was quite similar to the Divine Technique·Red Cloth Domain; as long as the flagpole stood unwavering, the people within the dome were unable to escape.

The only difference was that the drifting black mist inside the dome could slightly affect the beings inside, increasing the hostility in the people fighting.

It was hard to tell if this was a positive or negative effect.

After all, once the Ghost General's Banner was raised, it was likely to be a duel.

If the fear in the enemy's heart diminished and they became more bloodthirsty, wouldn't that be even less favorable for the Ghost General to win?

Hmm... indeed, a peculiar Evil Technique.

"Hmm!" The Ghost General pointed with his blade, his nasal tone quite provoking.

"Come on!" Lu Ran held his sword in both hands, his legs bent slightly, as he twirled the sword beautifully.

The two generals faced off, and the Black Fire Stallion took the initiative, stomping the ground heavily with its hooves.

"Pfft..."

Suddenly, a ring of fire spread from underneath the horse's hooves.

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed, and he immediately stepped back.

This technique was not to be underestimated, its effect not outstanding in terms of output, but it was designed to disperse surrounding enemies.

Any living creature touched by the ring of fire was sent flying away.

But since the Ghost General's Banner had already been planted, the combatants couldn't possibly escape.

Therefore, this ring of fire would forcefully nail each combatant against the defensive dome!

The impact on people's backs could be shrugged off, but the Ghost General would take the opportunity to charge; that was the real terrifying strike!

"Haah!"

The Ghost General let out a fierce roar and indeed, as Lu Ran hastily retreated, he charged forward.

The steed neighed vigorously as its blade flashed coldly.

Lu Ran continued to retreat, the Ghost General charged aggressively, and the clear contrast between their situations made the onlookers' hearts clench.

"This is bad."

Sun Zhengfang watched the perilous scene through the semi-transparent black dome.

The spreading ring of fire was about 2 meters thick.

It would be easy for Lu Ran to leap over, but he couldn't fly, and there was nothing in the air to take leverage from.

If Lu Ran dared to jump, he would be close to death.

"Use the dome!" Jiang Ruyi gripped her Cold Night Sword tightly, calling out loudly.

Great minds think alike!

As he was spurred backwards by the ring of fire, Lu Ran suddenly leapt high into the air just as he reached the black dome.

The ring of fire was stopped by the black dome, and the surging flames immediately spread up along the dome.

This was also one reason why Lu Ran agreed to a duel!

No matter how much the Black Fire Stallion thrashed, its flames could not encroach upon the world outside the dome.

There was a dull "thud!"

Lu Ran, who jumped backward, landed on the black dome in a squat and then leapt vigorously forward.

"Haah!"

At the same time, the Ghost General spurred his horse and swung his Yanyue Blade forward viciously.

Lu Ran, nearly parallel to the ground, braced himself with his Silent Night Blade against the Yanyue Blade below him while his Dawn Blade made a direct cut at the Ghost General's head!

"Pang!"

That was the sound of the heavy Yanyue Blade striking the dome causing a violent noise.

"Zzzzt..."

That was the sound of the Dawn Blade slicing through the Ghost General's shoulder armor, tearing it apart!

"Hmm?" Under the pitch-black helmet, the Ghost General's eyes glowed red.

His dodging body immediately straightened, and with a shoulder lift, he looked at the torn shoulder armor.

The Ghost General, like the Barbaric Woman Clan, naturally did not possess defensive techniques; the armor on his body was innate.

A piece of shoulder armor just fell off like that, soon crumbling into wisps of green smoke.

"Hmm..." The Ghost General let out an angry nasal grunt, turning to face Lu Ran.

As a wisp of black mist drifted past Lu Ran's face, it revealed his intense murderous gaze.

Lu Ran stood next to the large black flag, holding the Dawn Blade, which rested on the flagpole.

But he wasn't hacking at the flag; rather, he was...

Sharpening his blade?

Lu Ran stared intently at the Ghost General, first wiping the long blade along the flagpole.

Then he twirled his sword, and used the other side of the blade to slowly wipe it over the flagpole.

Such a scene baffled those watching behind the screen.

"His eyes look terrifying, has he been influenced by the Ghost General's Banner?"

"The king of provocation?"

"No wonder Yan Zhi was captivated by our Ran Shen, love it~"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

From Lu Ran's actions, the Ghost General not only felt provoked but also deeply insulted!

That was his flag of honor!

It wasn't some ragged grinding stone, nor was it a worn-out sword cleaning cloth!

"Haah!" The Ghost General roared in anger.

"Neighhh~" The steed under him raised its hooves, neighing as flames ignited across its body.

Black Fire Stallion Evil Technique·Black Fire Burning Body!

During the duration of the flames, the Black Fire Stallion's physical attributes would be comprehensively amplified.

What was even more terrifying was that the Ghost General, ablaze with the flames, could also enjoy this amplification!

"Whoosh!" The Ghost General suddenly flung his long blade.

The Yanyue Blade transformed into a thrown weapon, directly stabbing at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran deftly dodged to the side, letting the long blade fly by, clearly aware that once the blade left the hand, it was no longer controlled by its owner.

The next moment, a swirl of Immortal Fog emerged beneath Lu Ran's feet.

"Zzzt—"

Lu Ran shot forward at an astonishing speed!

The Ghost General's clan could summon a new Yanyue Blade, but it required time.

Facing an opponent like Lu Ran, dare you let go of the blade?

"You're courting death!" Lu Ran's expression darkened considerably.

It was hard to say whether he was influenced by the black mist in the dome.

"Pang!" The prancing steed heavily landed its front hooves.

In an instant, another ring of fire spread out.

Lu Ran: !!!

Damn it!

Indeed, the hostility in Lu Ran's heart surged, a rare outburst of profanity.

This damn Black Fire Stallion was truly pestering?!

"Zzzt—"

The mist surged again.

Lu Ran, darting forward, made a hard bounce on his feet, shooting diagonally upwards.

At the same time, energy churned in the Ghost General's palm, and a brand-new Yanyue Blade suddenly formed.

Ghost General Evil Technique·Ghost General's Blade!

Outside the dome, Jiang Ruyi wanted to warn Lu Ran that the blade was coming again.

But she knew well Lu Ran's capabilities and was more worried that her own voice would disturb him from listening to the sound.

As expected, her prediction was accurate!

The Ghost General grasped the long blade and flung it diagonally upward.

Again, Lu Ran squatted on the black dome, this time with his head down, as if squatting on a ceiling.

He certainly couldn't afford to free fall.

And so, facing the incoming long blade, Lu Ran stabbed diagonally downward!

That scene, even the usually silent Wei Long, couldn't help but exclaim, "Be careful!"

The blade was fast, but the person was faster!

A man and a blade crossed paths; Lu Ran's shoulder narrowly missed grazing the blade handle.

The Ghost General's eyes were blood-red, and with his hands empty, he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly.

The General and his steed were of one mind, and the Black Fire Stallion quickly darted forward.

Running away?

Lu Ran landed heavily, the ground beneath his feet crumbled, and the Immortal Fog rose again!

The Ghost General was startled, clenching the recently assembled blade in his hand, and immediately willed it to move.

Energy churned beneath the Black Fire Stallion's hooves, ready to stomp out another ring of fire.

Lu Ran, darting forward, his eyes unusually chilly, suddenly squatted down and lowered his head.

"Whoosh!"

The Yanyue Blade flew over Lu Ran's head.

"Slash!!" Lu Ran roared furiously.

Leveraging the momentum of his forward surge, he slid forward in a starting position, then leapt diagonally upward from the side of the steed.

In Lu Ran's left hand, a gleam of rosy clouds shone, directly cutting at the steed's legs!

"Neighhh~~~"

The Black Fire Stallion cried out in pain, its slender front legs were abruptly severed by Lu Ran.

Still want to stomp out a ring of fire?

I really gave you face, huh!

With a thud, the Black Fire Stallion's legs were severed, and it wailed in pain, its head and neck pounding heavily into the ground.

"Hmph!" The Ghost General showed he was indeed skillful.

Holding his blade, with its tip against the ground, he pushed himself off with force and leapt away from the horse.

Lu Ran quickly turned back.

The battlefield was too small; a mere 20-meter radius was far from enough for someone like Lu Ran, not even the distance of a single hoof strike.

The slanting Lu Ran, now accustomed to crouching on the dome, churned the Immortal Fog beneath his feet and turned to make a diagonal downward stab.

He stamped heavily on the horse's head, and Silent Night Blade in hand flashed coldly.

The Black Fire Stallion, still wailing tragically, was cleanly beheaded.

The horse's neighing ceased abruptly!

A faint voice floated through, "Silence."

Lu Ran stepped on the still-burning horse head, slowly raised the blood-dripped Silent Night Blade, and pointed into the distance at the Ghost General:

"Now, we are even!"
