Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 290: 262 River Realm... Peak?!


"Hmm?"

As Lu Ran approached the battlefield, he suddenly discovered a tree branch flickering with a phosphorescent green light reaching out towards him.

This branch clearly carried the Divine Technique·Biwu Holy Light!

Lu Ran did not dodge, allowing it to bind around his waist.

In an instant, Lu Ran felt a terrifying life force injected into his body.

Within the scope of Divine Technique, life force was a relatively complex concept.

It included, but was not limited to, the body's self-healing ability, physical strength, Qi, mental energy, and so on.

At the same time, Lu Ran felt mentally relaxed and at peace, his morale didn't surge despite feeling fully invigorated.

What a Jiang Realm Great Power!

This supportive effect far exceeded Sun Zhengfang's by a lot...

Liu Yunlan spoke again, "You lack the realm, and this dog has provocation techniques.

Though the brute has a low intellect and doesn't understand tactics, occasionally it's driven by instinct to let out an evil bark.

Do not sever the Biwu tree branch, lest you lose your senses and throw away your life in vain."

"Thank you, senior."

Lu Ran responded solemnly, his gaze still fixed on the battlefield.

Up until now, Lu Ran hadn't seen the true face of the Biwu believer·Liu Yunlan, but he had a clear view of Ge Bin.

Captain Ge appeared to be in his forties, of average build and unremarkable appearance.

He would be hard to find in a crowd.

But his martial arts skills were extraordinary, and his movement technique was remarkable!

The Evil Dog possessed the Evil Technique·Swift, and the Nuoshasha believer had the Divine Technique·God and Ghost Entanglement!

This technique was used to perfection by Captain Ge, truly tenacious, entangling with the Evil Dog in combat.

Lu Ran's brow furrowed slightly.

He suddenly discovered, Ge Bin was injured!

There were clear bite marks on his right leg, his pant leg tattered and torn.

Through the cover of the Jiang Grade·Water Armor worn by him, Lu Ran could see the newly grown flesh.

Presumably, the wound must have been healed by Liu Yunlan.

Here's the question!

With Ge Bin's swiftness, still shaded by the Jiang Grade·Water Armor, how did this Evil Dog manage to hurt him?

Just how fast and how ferocious is this dog?

"Woof! Woof!!"

The Evil Dog barked furiously, its expression savage.

Relying on the Instant Teleportation Technique, it fought against two enemies without falling behind!

The Evil Dog widened its bloody maw, frantically biting at Ge Bin's heals, and the fierce Jiang Grade·Evil Teeth it flung also shredded the nearby branches.

Suddenly, another Evil Dog appeared beside it.

Evil Technique·Evil Shadow!

Fog Grade·Evil Shadow could summon an ethereal shadow of the Evil Dog to disturb and lure the enemy.

As the grade of the Evil Technique increased, this shadow became more real and lasted longer in the world.

With advancement into Jiang Pin, it underwent a qualitative change!

Now, the Jiang Grade·Evil Shadow summoned was no longer a mere shadow but a solid clone!

A tangible clone, identical to the Evil Dog itself.

The only difference was that the clone was more fragile and did not have the ability to use Evil Technique.

"Phew!"

Ge Bin reacted incredibly quickly, summoning a clone at nearly the same moment.

Nuosha Divine Technique·Shadow of Evil!

"Sss!!"

The Shadow of Evil hissed sharply, though identical to Ge Bin, its expression was extremely vicious!

The Shadow of Evil immediately confronted the Evil Shadow, and the two grappled in combat.

Within the scope of the Biwu tree, the clones had no substantial ability to survive, and in just a few seconds, the fine branches crumbled both man and dog into mist.

"Are you ready to break the situation?" Liu Yunlan's voice came through.

"Ready!" Lu Ran passed the Cold Night Sword to his left hand and pulled out the Silent Night Blade from behind his back with his right.

Liu Yunlan instructed, "After casting the spell, jump straight up; I'll leave you a way out."

"Understood." Lu Ran naturally followed the command, feeling the surrounding branches abruptly halt.

Then, countless branches suddenly changed direction, aiming at Lu Ran's position.

One by one, the branches brandished sharp wooden spikes, making Lu Ran's scalp tingle!

"Zoosh~"

"Zoosh! Zoosh!!"

Countless wooden spikes flew at Lu Ran from every angle!

Liu Yunlan: "Cast the spell!"

Lu Ran: "Meh!!"

"Huh?" The Evil Dog suddenly turned its head.

Ge Bin's eyes lit up, and he thrust forward fiercely with a dagger in his right hand.

The inherent brutality in the Evil Dog's heart couldn't be contained in the face of the little sheep's cry.

Want to die, young lamb?

By instinct, as it turned its head, it teleported over!

For the Evil Dog, the good news was that it evaded Ge Bin's fatal strike.

The bad news was...

As the Evil Dog blinked into existence, endless branches crisscrossed, and countless wooden spikes weaved into a death trap!

"Zi—"

Mist rolled under Lu Ran's feet as he shot straight up into the air, flinging the Cold Night Sword downwards with his left hand.

"Woo~ Woo~~"

The Evil Dog groaned in pain.

And its groan moved from the ground to the night sky.

Lu Ran was shocked, had it managed to escape?

He looked up, guided by the sound, and saw the Evil Dog's rapidly flickering silhouette high in the sky.

The Evil Dog lacked the ability to fly, but through incessant blinking, it "stood" in the air.

And its body was riddled with bloody holes!

Tiny streams of blood flowed outward from the wounds, creating a sorrowful sight.

However, most of these wounds were shallow and not life-threatening.

Not life-threatening?

No matter!

Without the Healing technique, the Evil Dog would surely bleed out given enough time.

"Good!" Ge Bin shouted, gripping his twin daggers tightly.

In front of them was the Demon Lord of the Jiang Realm·Fifth Rank, beyond a doubt.

In terms of sheer power, it was 2 or 3 ranks above the two Human Clan powers!

Even with Ge Bin and Liu Yunlan attacking together, they were unable to take it down for a long time and instead suffered a bite to the leg.

The Evil Dog was so quick, so swift, it had reached the peak of the River Realm!

This was no longer just a troublesome issue!

A moment's carelessness, and the two powers could be torn to shreds!

Now that Lu Ran had just entered the fray and already inflicted some damage on the Evil Dog, it was unquestionably uplifting.

However, the neophyte Lu Ran couldn't share Ge Bin's joy.

He was still amazed that the Evil Dog could escape such a death trap.

Could its reaction speed be a bit too excessive?

Did it instinctively teleport away at the slightest pain?

"Woof!!"

The Evil Dog launched its retaliation, barking down below.

The surging energy startled Lu Ran, who in his heart frantically called for the Dawn Blade while yelling out loud:

"Down!"

"Hum!"

At this moment, the Dawn Blade was still sheathed behind Lu Ran, and it immediately flew downwards with force.

Simultaneously, Lu Ran himself plunged downwards.

Liu Yunlan heard Lu Ran's call and helped him by controlling the Holy Light Tree Branches, adding some force to his descent.

"Crack!!"

Two rows of canine teeth emerged above Lu Ran's head, biting together and instantly shattering several branches.

Terrifyingly close!

"Woof! Woof!!"

The Evil Dog, driven to a frenzy, was also gifted with the Evil Technique·Evil Sense, and accurately found Lu Ran among the dense branches.

"Here I go!"

Lu Ran's foot landed on a branch, his Immortal Fog swirling below.

It seemed like the Divine Technique·Immortal Hoof.

In reality, it was the Evil Technique·Night Dance!

Even Ge Bin watched with a shocked expression.

The branches below Lu Ran were too dense, remnants of the previous hunt for the Evil Dog.

Since Lu Ran couldn't fall to the ground, he could only rush left and right among the entwined branches in this world.

At this moment, Lu Ran's three teammates were absent, leaving only his first-person perspective.

The channel's audience was in for a treat...

"That's, that's too thrilling, right?"

"Run fast!"

"Wow, can you even fit through such a small gap?"

"Stop shaking, I'm getting motion sickness..."

The dense branches suddenly closed, forming a barrier and obstructing the Evil Dog's view.

"Woof!!"

The Evil Dog lost it entirely, shifting its target and lashing out tooth after tooth at the Biwu tree.

"Crack!"

"Crack!!" The tree trunk was bitten, wood chips flying everywhere.

Hidden by many branches and on a piece of bark, a woman's face appeared.

At this moment, her expression was very ugly; the Evil Dog was so rabid that any bite might reach her true body.

"Zoosh~ Zoosh!"

Liu Yunlan manipulated numerous branches, stabbing into the night sky.

At this point in the battle, no one believed such a straightforward attack could hurt the Evil Dog.

But as long as it could disrupt the Evil Dog, stopping its frenzied biting, it would be successful.

"Shush~"

As expected, the Evil Dog's figure vanished.

When it reappeared, it had instantaneously moved to a location over ten stories high on Wu Lie Building, precisely where the outdoor restaurant was.

"Hmm..." The Evil Dog uttered a deep guttural sound, violently shaking its body, spraying droplets and blood beads in all directions.

Sniff~

The Evil Dog suddenly halted its motion, its nose twitching.

"Hmm?" The Evil Dog abruptly turned its head, its crimson eyes blazing with a terrifying glow.

The scent of the Human Clan.

The moment everyone least wanted to see had happened!

The Evil Dog, flickering all over the place, now appeared over the human sanctuary!

The soldiers, who had been on high alert, spotted the Evil Dog on the surveillance feed right away.

In an instant, everyone's hearts rose to their throats!

"Lu Ran! Voice of Compassion, Lu Ran!!"

A man's panicked voice came through the earpiece.

Moon Gazers, not afraid to die.

Having joined this force, they had already placed their heads on their belts.

But there were thousands of ordinary citizens in this building!

"Meh!!"

The Evil Dog paused in its tracks.

Evil Technique·Evil Sense allowed it to still smell human scent amid the storm and clearly hear the cries of the lamb.

"Shush~"

The Evil Dog vanished again, reappearing in the plaza's night sky.

At this time, Lu Ran had landed on the ground and retrieved the Cold Night Sword.

"Woof!"

The Evil Dog opened its gaping maw, and a fierce tooth flew over.

Feeling the position of the energy fluctuation, Lu Ran suddenly released mist at his feet and lunged forward 2 meters.

"Crack!!"

The grating sound of clamping came from behind Lu Ran.

"Seniors, the Evil Dog is continuously bleeding. Let's lure it into close combat, so it doesn't dash around everywhere."

As he spoke, mist rose from under Lu Ran's feet again, and he retreated 2 meters.

"Crack!!"

Two rows of canine teeth appeared in front, clamping down fiercely again.

Compared to his previous flustered scurrying through the lush branches, Lu Ran was now terrifyingly composed.

Through Liu Yunlan's eyes, this composure was even elegant!

This was an Evil Dog of the River Realm pinnacle!

The very peak of Jiang Realm!

This kid...

"Sister Liu, let's retract the branches for now," Ge Bin suddenly spoke, eyes blazing as he watched Lu Ran, "Lu Ran, and I will have a fight with this Evil Dog!"

"Crack!"

Once again, Lu Ran dodged horizontally, completely unfazed.

The Jiang Grade·Evil Teeth indeed had a powerful grip.

But as it enhanced its output, the energy fluctuation also grew larger.

Naturally, Lu Ran could detect and dodge it more easily.

His movements were smooth as he pointed at the ground in front of him with the long sword in hand:

"Meh~"

Provocation to the max!

Evil Dog: !!!

Liu Yunlan: "..."
