Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 940: Burning Heart


Under the dim sky, two tiny figures were fighting fiercely.

In the distant foggy sea, a gigantic invisible Divine Sculpture silently watched the battle.

"Alas..." Yan Shuangzi shook her head silently.

For Lu Ran, challenging opponents beyond his level was routine, but without thousands of techniques, he fell from heaven straight into hell.

Like hitting a rock with an egg.

If it were any other enemy, Lu Ran could at least rely on his exquisite skills to attempt maneuvering against them.

But his opponent was Nu Ying!

An existence whose combat experience and skills completely crushed Lu Ran.

How could he possibly fight this?

Yan Shuangzi's cold expression gradually turned to worry as she watched helplessly as her master was pushed back step by step.

Since meeting Lu Ran, she had never seen him being suppressed so miserably!

Yan Shuangzi knew the reason:

Evil Sensitivity!

Yan Shuangzi didn't deny the power of techniques like Fiery Fire Heavenly Leader and Evil Shadow Flash, understanding their significance for Lu Ran in slaying gods and demons.

But these techniques received the attention they deserved and shone brightly on the battlefield.

The true foundation for Lu Ran's invincibility was a technique unseen by people—a forbidden art, Evil Sensitivity!

This technique made the body more agile and swift.

Today, Yan Shuangzi had successfully merged the Evil Dog Evil Skill and Greedy Wolf Divine Skill, fusing Evil Sensitivity and Wolf Sensitivity into one.

This is incredible!

The fusion of the two techniques allowed Yan Shuangzi to develop control over her body to an astonishing level.

Without the Domain of Silence, even if Lu Ran was only at the Second Level of the Heavenly Realm, he could overpower the Third Level in terms of speed, agility, and even reflexes.

But the knife in Nu Ying's hand cut off Lu Ran's path.

Indeed, Nu Ying couldn't use techniques in the Domain of Silence, but she didn't need them at all.

The Valkyrie displayed terrifying combat skills, her long hair and red silk floating behind her, perfectly aligned with her imposing stance.

Overbearing!

"Mas..." Yan Shuangzi's face stiffened, instinctively wanting to instant teleport over but forcefully stopped herself.

Lu Ran had commanded her before, without his permission, she mustn't act rashly.

In her sight, the youth wearing the Feathered Blood Mask was slashed and flown backward, falling into the thick foggy sea, bouncing and rolling repeatedly.

Finally, it was with the help of the Divine Weapon Blade that he stabilized himself.

"Release your power!" A forceful voice resounded, "Do I need to tell you for the third time?"

"Uh." Lu Ran released the knife handle, shook his aching arm, wanting to curse.

Easy to say!

Didn't I release my power?

If I hadn't, how could I have fought with you for so long? I would have been chopped into pieces long ago!

Lu Ran hastily gripped the knife handle, retreating rapidly while the double blades faced Nu Ying's Chi Ji Blade.

"Ding!"

In the crisp sound of blades clashing, Lu Ran tried hard to release the power, sending the Valkyrie's blade to his side.

However, Nu Ying didn't give Lu Ran any chance!

With a twist of her wrist, the Chi Ji Blade ground against Lu Ran's double blades, pressing them toward his neck: "All along, you've had countless techniques to employ, always able to use tricky methods against your enemies."

Lu Ran gritted his teeth, bending his legs, supporting with double blades, sliding backward inch by inch under Nu Ying's might.

"Right?" Nu Ying pressed step by step, "You've lost yourself in false power, forgotten your true form, haven't you?"

"Whew~"

The repaired Smoke and Mist Silk flew back from afar, winding around Lu Ran's waist, carrying him backward.

Nu Ying closed in, not giving Lu Ran a moment's respite.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the long sword at Lu Ran's waist unsheathed, piercing straight toward Nu Ying's face.

"Cloud..." Lu Ran's heart was startled.

Strictly speaking, the Cloud Sea Dust Clearing Sword wasn't his Divine Weapon, naturally Lu Ran's control over this sword was somewhat weaker.

The Cloud Sea Sword Spirit was the extension of his mother Qiao Wanjun's thoughts and will, it acted on its own!

The Third Rank Cloud Sea Sword acted, and the First Rank Cloud Sea Blade, which had always accompanied it, also charged out.

"Ding~"

The aggressively pressing Nu Ying lightly flicked the sword tip of the Cloud Sea Sword, altering its piercing direction.

As for the following Cloud Sea Blade, it wasn't so fortunate.

Nu Ying slightly turned aside, directly reached out, grabbing the handle of the Cloud Sea Blade.

"Buzz!!" The Cloud Sea Blade struggled fiercely, but as a mere First Rank Divine Weapon, how could it escape the grip of the Heavenly Realm's body?

The battle situation completely changed!

Nu Ying held twin blades, adding might to her already formidable stance.

The Cloud Sea Dust Clearing Blade trembled wildly, yet powerless, it wished to support the Cloud Sea Sword, to do something for its master.

Yet it was easily captured.

Gripped by Nu Ying, every slash toward the master made the Cloud Sea Blade feel humiliated.

The Cloud Sea Sword was anxious!

Understanding its action implicated the Cloud Sea Blade.

Nu Ying still attacked Lu Ran, the Cloud Sea Sword immediately adjusted its tip.

"Cloud Sea Sword, return!" Lu Ran shouted sternly while fighting and retreating.

"Heh." Nu Ying snorted coldly, casually flicking away the disobedient Cloud Sea Sword, her bright eyes fixed on the disarrayed youth, "What kind of Martial Artist are you?"

Nu Ying's offensive flowed like mercury, deliberately holding the Cloud Sea Blade, slashing repeatedly toward Lu Ran's face:

"You can't control your Divine Weapon, nor can you protect it."

Lu Ran:!!!

Nu Ying's oppressive forward leap, the Chi Ji Blade swung from below upwards, forming a half-moon of red, opened the double blades crossed before Lu Ran's body.

Furthermore, leaving Lu Ran utterly defenseless!

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Lu Ran retreated continuously, his steps heavy and terrifying.

The Cloud Sea Dust Clearing Sword behind him swept past Lu Ran's shoulder, rapidly stabbing toward Nu Ying, attempting to relieve its master.

Any Martial Artist would not miss such a perfect opportunity when faced with an utterly defenseless opponent.

Not to mention, Lu Ran's adversary was an existence like Nu Ying!

Nu Ying suddenly spun her blade, the tip of the Chi Ji Blade once again struck the tip of the Cloud Sea Sword, alarmingly precise.

Under absolute power, the Cloud Sea Sword immediately rotated 180 degrees, with its tip now pointing toward Lu Ran's face.

Nu Ying took a step forward, shoulders pressed hard against the Cloud Sea Sword hilt.

"Whoosh!"

The Cloud Sea Sword was instantly catapulted away, shooting straight for Lu Ran's brow.

"Buzz!"

The distance between the man and the sword was too close, the Cloud Sea Sword couldn't brake in time, it tried to adjust the sword tip but instead, under terrifying force, the sword body slapped horizontally toward Lu Ran's face.

In an instant, Lu Ran's raised arms made a full circle and finally returned, he couldn't worry too much, and took advantage of the situation to wield his blade and knock the Cloud Sea Sword away.

Suddenly, a silver moon appeared!

While Lu Ran dealt with the Cloud Sea Sword, Nu Ying, holding the Cloud Sea Blade, swept towards his big arm the moment he knocked the long sword away.

"Slash!"

Feather robes tore, streamers broke.

A severed arm spun and flew, blood spurted.

Lu Ran's pupils shrank violently!

The extreme pain made the flow speed of his world seem to become very slow.

The spilling blood became a special filter, beneath the broken limb and blood, he seemed to see the true visage of the Valkyrie.

Those bright eyes, like two blazing suns, dignified and fierce.

The red silk behind her wildly billowing like an endless river of flame, or a fiercely burning battle flag, danced wildly behind her.

About war, about victory.

About life and death authority.

In a moment.

"Boom," a muffled sound, earth-shattering!

Nu Ying remained unchanged in expression, her foot exploded, and she suddenly flew backward.

A Divine Sculpture suddenly appeared, massive stone boots heavy tread down, shielding the severed-arm human clan youth behind the heel, an icy killing intent filled the world, utterly engulfing Nu Ying.

"Hmm?" Nu Ying raised her head, she saw the goddess sculpture she had once met, saw those enormous stone eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.

Evil Shadow can flicker into the scene, the Domain of Silence targets the energy within all living beings in the domain.

As Yan Shuangzi joined the fray, her divine power was immediately bound.

Unable to exert the Divine and Evil Techniques, that couldn't stop Yan Shuangzi from taking action.

"Evil Shadow, stop!" Lu Ran saw the goddess sculpture step forward, ready to draw a blade, and immediately shouted.

"Boom!"

Yan Shuangzi placed one hand behind the waist, the Evil Moon Scimitar wasn't drawn, but she still stomped her foot down.

"Leave." Lu Ran endured the intense pain, concealed the grimace behind the Blood Crystal Mask.

He clutched the severed arm with one hand, the site sliced by the blade showed stark white bones.

Blood gushed through his fingers, continuously trickling downwards.

Yan Shuangzi stared intently at the diminutive Nu Ying, anger within her chest surged uncontrollably.

Nu Ying fearlessly held the Cloud Sea Blade, lightly shook it: "Your leader, tells you to leave."

The blade was stained with Lu Ran's blood.

The Cloud Sea Blade struggled helplessly, a heart bleeds too.

Yan Shuangzi remained still, even becoming a sculpture, she retained human clan habits, chest heaving violently.

Nu Ying gazed towards the diminutive human clan by the stone boot: "Seems you can't even control your blade."

Yan Shuangzi's eyes widened suddenly!

"Evil Shadow, leave." Lu Ran's voice was stern.

Yan Shuangzi tightly gripped the hilt at her waist, painstakingly retreated step by step...

The colossal Divine Sculpture withdrew, mist waves surged.

When Nu Ying could see Lu Ran again, she found the severed Smoke and Mist Silk had bandaged the youth's severed arm wound.

"Still want to fight?" Nu Ying asked from afar.

"That was just an accident." Lu Ran stood alone, left hand gripping the Dawn Blade, glanced at Nu Ying, then at the struggling Cloud Sea Blade in her hand.

Nu Ying is not undefeatable!

She also lacks divine techniques, merely flesh and blood.

Having fought for so long, Lu Ran also read her combat habits, understood her purpose.

Just need one opportunity!

One opportunity enough...

Nu Ying, whatever you wish to prove, my remaining arm, including both legs can be bait, all can be given to you.

But you must leave your life behind!

Nu Ying quietly gazed at Lu Ran, seeing the bloodstained severed arm youth stride forth.

That gaze was wonderful.

Fiery and resolute.

As if she saw herself decades ago, struggling to rise under the Faceless Jade Venerable's foot, her spine straight again.

"Hehe." Nu Ying suddenly laughed.

Yes, some things are forever untouchable.

The heart of a warrior.

An unyielding heart.

A heart that knows the enemy is strong, yet does not shy from the edge, forever burning hot.

"Boom!"

The sight of the human clan youth, his foot exploded beneath, suddenly accelerated.

Nu Ying's smile grew brighter.

"Clang!"

Lu Ran sliced forward, sideways, Nu Ying wielded the Chi Ji Blade with her right hand, forcefully braced the Dawn Blade against her side.

Another silver moon rose!

Nu Ying wielded the Cloud Sea Blade with her left hand, slashing again at Lu Ran's lone arm: "Seems like you haven't learned..."

"Boom!"

Lu Ran didn't care for his own arm!

No cry of pain, no retreat, even not a moment's pause. His side forward stabbed, head crashing directly towards Nu Ying's forehead.

Two utterly unprotected flesh bodies, yet like two steel bars, violently colliding against one another.

With that headbutt, the Silent Night Blade, forever silent and stealthy, suddenly shot from Lu Ran's waist, pinned close into Nu Ying's waist and abdomen.

"Slash!!"

The blade into flesh, slicing upward.

Gut split open, blood spilled into the sea of mist.
