"Brother!!" Qiao Yuanxi exclaimed with exuberant vitality.

The Dawn Blade floating behind her continued to fend off stray arrows on the battlefield and slaughtered any petty thieves getting close.

Qiao Yuanxi, however, was scurrying over with her little short legs fluttering rapidly.

Strictly speaking, those were not short legs.

After all, Qiao Yuanxi was 1.68m tall with a good body proportion—she should be considered long-legged.

But she was, after all, the younger sister.

When Lu Ran looked at Little Yuanxi, he always saw her through a filter.

He always felt that she was still the little shadow following him around in their younger days.

"You're too amazing! Wait a moment, I'll praise you more in a bit, haha!"

Qiao Yuanxi hurried past Lu Ran.

She quickly summoned a Bright Fire Cage and transformed its nature.

Healing class Divine Technique·Bright Fire Cage!

The eight lanterns turned a firefly green, sprinkling twinkling stars as they drifted towards Wang Ling.

"I'm fine."

Wang Ling quickly got to his feet.

His robe's tail had smacked him into disarray, and the impact into the ground had indeed been harsh.

But Wang Ling had not sustained a fatal injury.

Even when he was lying in the pit, he had witnessed Lu Ran's valor straight through.

Lu Ran... was too cool!

In every movement, he exuded the demeanor of a powerful being, which filled Wang Ling with admiration.

Is this the strength of a Jiang Realm Great Power?

If Lu Ran had taken the initiative to kill the enemy right from the start, Wang Ling's impression might not have been so vivid.

The key was that Wang Ling had tried his best and ultimately come back empty-handed, even getting tricked and injured in the process.

Then look at Lu Ran!

A wisp of fog, a blade in hand.

In one encounter, the clouds dispersed and the smoke vanished!

Wang Ling was certainly top-tier among his peers.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get into Beijing University, nor would he have joined this elite team.

The moment Wang Ling got injured, he immediately realized his mistake!

He had been overeager for quick success!

He wanted rewards.

And to make his mark in front of the whole world.

The combination of factors led to a slight deviation in his mentality.

The fearsome Evil Spear Emperor had seized on this moment of Wang Ling's impatience to gain the upper hand.

While introspecting, Wang Ling also deciphered the key to Lu Ran's enemy-slaying technique.

Two characters: Pace!

"Thank you, Brother Ran." Wang Ling's face was extremely solemn as he spoke seriously.

The formidable Gun Corpse Believers showed not a hint of arrogance, nor the shame of being rebuked; instead, their attitude was extremely sincere!

That thanks, to the ears of ordinary people, was an acknowledgment for Lu Ran helping out of a tight spot.

But it also held another meaning:

Thanking Lu Ran for the lesson given!

Even Lu Ran himself was unaware of this.

At this moment, Lu Ran, while controlling the Silent Night Blade to kill enemies, glanced at Wang Ling.

The other's skinny body stood straight; even though his mouth was bloody and his appearance was ragged, his aura was more like that of a resilient pine.

Lu Ran nodded slightly but said nothing.

His prestige was evident, and any word from him could lead to a significant change in pace.

Wang Ling had come for the reward,

and the young masters and ladies of Beijing had come to make a name for themselves.

Lu Ran was happy to oblige and help them out, after all, if they developed well, Qiao Yuanxi would be even better off.

Lu Ran just hadn't expected Wang Ling's gaze to be so fervent.

What's the matter?

You're not falling for me, are you?

And there's Guan Yiren over there, what are you always sneaking glances at?

I've been wearing my hat and mask the whole time, isn't that enough? Must I close my eyes too?

Well then... mhm, I'll just close them.

"Brother~"

Qiao Yuanxi, seeing her teammate unharmed, placed the Bright Fire Cage next to the injured person and scurried over.

"Brother... Eh?" Qiao Yuanxi looked up at Lu Ran and blinked, "Why are you asleep?"

Lu Ran: "..."

Is that even human language?

Qiao Yuanxi surveyed the battlefield, applying Bright Fire Cages as defense shields for her teammates while simultaneously disabling some of the Evil Demons' defenses.

The Divine Technique·Bright Fire Cage was extremely versatile.

Whether to provide a target with defense was up to the caster to decide.

That's why there had been no golden-red light on the Evil Spear Emperor just now.

As Qiao Yuanxi cast her spell, she excitedly said, "Brother, you're so cool! Even cooler than the Evil Spear Emperor!"

Lu Ran replied with a smile, "I'm from the Jiang Realm; he's from the River Realm.

If I were to fight back and forth with the Evil Spear Emperor, the people of Da Xia wouldn't agree."

Qiao Yuanxi's eyes gleamed mischievously, "I'm talking about your looks!"

Lu Ran accepted the challenge with a nod, deeming it correct, "Well indeed~"

In matters of appearance, it was pretty much a draw.

The Evil Spear Emperor leaned more towards handsome.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, veered more towards valiant.

But when it comes to temperament,

no matter how lofty and arrogant the Evil Spear Emperor was, he couldn't compare to Lu Ran's Immortal appearance.

Netizens were not fortunate enough to see the whole of Lu Ran's true face.

But Qiao Yuanxi had witnessed it all in person while at home these past two days.

"Have you really become so vain?" Qiao Yuanxi pouted.

The sibling exchange reached the ears of countless households.

On this dangerous and deadly battlefield, the banter between siblings was like a spring breeze, comforting people's hearts.

It also gave the world an unprecedented feeling.

One must know that in other channels, the Heavenly Prides and their teammates were bravely fighting, stirring people's blood to boil.

But at Lu Ran's location...

Why did it feel a bit heartwarming?

Totally off the normal path!

Last season's "Heavenly Pride" was the same: Lu Ran single-handedly repelled the Night of Ghosts, then ran off to the shelter to sleep.

While others continued to fight through the bloodshed, Lu Ran switched to a sleep stream.

And sleeping wasn't enough,

the beautiful Jiang kept watch for a whole night by the bed, making the dogs wail in distress.

This...

"The sister is right! Your sister-in-law also thinks your brother is the most handsome!"

"Sis, pull down his mask and let your sister-in-law take a look~"

"The Evil Emperor is dead, Long live Emperor Ran!"

"Killing just a River Grade·Evil Spear Emperor and you're Emperor Ran now? You fans are shameless, aren't you?"

"Wait! What's that sound? Holy crap?"

"Is that an alarm?"

"Wuu~~~Wuu~Wuu~~~Wuu~"

A series of deep alarm sounds echoed through Rain Alley City, causing everyone's hearts to tighten.

Lu Ran's brow furrowed as he listened to the orders coming through his earpiece and quickly surveyed his surroundings.

"Contract! Tighten the formation!"

Qiao Yuanxi's voice was urgent as she immediately issued orders.

The deep alarm sounds were oppressive on the heart.

The long and short of it, Night of Ghosts!

"I'm returning to the jungle position," Lu Ran said softly, patting Qiao Yuanxi's back.

He was comforting his sister, but also entrusting the Dawn Blade.

Lu Ran's gaze was fixed on the street to the left of the Wu Lie Building, where a tall and handsome man appeared.

The Evil Demon·Evil Spear Emperor!

Here they come.

They have arrived.

Bodies full of life, carrying palatable souls, came to the human world for a feast.

"Zi—"

Lu Ran stepped into the swirling mist below, heading straight for battle.

Before reaching the River Realm, Lu Ran hoped to slay as many enemies as possible, preserving his life.

Now?

What he saw,

were souls waiting to be reaped.

What he saw,

was an emperor who would eventually kneel at his feet, bowing in submission.

"Hmm?"

The young and handsome emperor, with a slight frown, sensed the fierce approach of the human youth.

The Evil Spear Emperor didn't take things lightly!

The intuition of the strong compelled him to take the opponent seriously, his golden spear swinging out and spreading a swath of black fog.

Evil Technique·Evil Cloud Entanglement!

Three wisps of black fog moved with a will of their own, like living creatures, like venomous snakes with malice.

This technique was full of evil nature!

Once entangled, the target would be bound hand and foot and rendered immobile.

And the streaks of black fog could even seep through watery armor and penetrate into the target's body, disrupting the flow of Divine Power and consequently interfering with the target's ability to cast spells!

"Zi—"

Lu Ran suddenly bent down and ducked his head, his speed surged!

This move was clearly beyond the Evil Spear Emperor's expectations.

As the three eager black fog snakes lunged forth, they couldn't react in time to bite downwards; Lu Ran had already darted past from below.

The Evil Spear Emperor's face changed, and he retreated into the clouds, soaring towards the upper night sky.

"Zi—"

Mists swirled beneath Lu Ran's feet.

He was capable of speeding up even now?!

Yes,

from Stream Grade to River Grade.

"Hmph!"

The Evil Spear Emperor snorted coldly, flying backwards into the night, holding his spear as if ready to strike with three more black fogs.

"Zi—"

The Evil Spear Emperor's face stiffened: !!!

Lu Ran's feet exploded with power as he soared upward!

River Grade·Immortal Hoof was clearly not Lu Ran's limit.

The Vast River,

possessed the Jiang Pin Immortal Hoof!

Three strides and one leap.

Especially the last leap into the night sky, at a speed that was downright shocking!

Chasing the wind, streaming like clouds.

Figures intersected, hands raised, and blades fell.

Lu Ran looked towards the landing point in mid-air and turned around.

At the third floor of a commercial building, Lu Ran landed steadily on the wall, looking at another hastily assembled figure in the air, he didn't hesitate—Immortal Fog arose again!

This time, he didn't need several strides.

The moment the Evil Spear Emperor materialized,

the time for the Eight Desolate Blade to behead!

The audience in front of the screens were dumbstruck!

The name Evil Spear Emperor, of course, was given by the Human Clan and was very meticulously chosen.

The character "Emperor" not only represented the Evil Demon's inherent nature.

But also signified that the clan excelled in martial prowess, being a master of spear techniques!

The problem was,

this formidable Evil Spear Emperor, in front of Lu Ran, why did he seem like a bamboo demon spirit?

Anyway, it's all in one encounter!

No difference!

"I thought, that Soul-destroying Strike was the peak, but I didn't realize it was just the beginning..."

"When I saw you, you were already dead..."

"Too fast, Ran Dog! Really too fast, slow down, I can't take it anymore!"

"No! Where am I? I was just at Wu Lie Building, why have I run up to the bank door?"

"Show? The second they show up, they're dead!"

"Hehe~ Just kidding! They're dead even if they don't show~"

Meanwhile, in the center of the square.

The four people tightening their formation were bewildered as they looked at the Immortal Fog enveloping the square.

The speed of Jiang Grade·Immortal Hoof was so fast they could barely see with their naked eyes!

Only the trails of Immortal Fog,

outlined the trajectory of Lu Ran's movements.

Wherever he passed, there were sure to be corpses.

The newly-promoted Jiang Realm Lu Ran seldom dodged.

As long as the Evil Spear Emperor didn't release the black fog immediately,

whether it was his billowing robe or his thrusting long spear, Lu Ran just casually brushed it aside...

Wang Ling: "..."

I feel numb.

I mean!

How am I going to seek a reward now?

Of course, Wang Ling knew in his heart that the presence of such a powerful Evil Demon for even a second longer could cause devastating damage to the buildings!

Lu Ran was willing to do a favor, leading people onto "Heavenly Pride," but all of this was predicated on protecting Rain Alley.

So, Lu Ran would not deliberately overlook an enemy within his line of sight.

The Night of Ghosts still had a long way to go!

With the lessons learned, Wang Ling calmed down, knowing he would find an opportunity.

In his field of vision, Lu Ran suddenly stopped and looked up into the night sky.

Another Evil Spear Emperor, standing on dark clouds and looking down furiously and surprisingly at Lu Ran below.

"Come down."

Lu Ran beckoned to the Evil Spear Emperor.

In the face of absolute strength, the Evil Spear Emperor lost the demeanor befitting his imperial status.

He didn't come down.

Instead, he directly summoned dark clouds, determined to use thousands of long spears to pierce Lu Ran to death.

Lu Ran grinned, the Evil Spear Emperor Clan might be defensively strong as hell, but bleating like sheep won't work.

From afar, Wang Ling nodded quietly.

Right, Brother Ran can't fly.

I'll go kill the ones in the sky in a bit!

"Zi!"

Wang Ling's face stiffened!

A dark figure appeared in the night sky, the long spear pierced through the Evil Cloud Robe, penetrating the Evil Spear Emperor's chest, lifting him high.

Gun Corpse Believers·Wang Quan!

His feet rested on two small white clouds, lifting the Evil Demon carcass, and looked down at Lu Ran below.

Lu Ran tilted his hat, looking at the rugged, bearded, and long-haired man with a weathered look.

"Huh~"

The next moment, Wang Quan moved like a ghost.

His figure seemed to appear all around the square!

Sky and ground, north, south, east, and west.

Covering the entire area of the square.

It even gave the illusion that there were several Wang Quans present at the same time.

Wang Ling was almost in tears!

Uncle, uncle...

It's me, your dear nephew.
