The dog demon was taken aback, bewildered, its face full of horror and fear.

"Ah!!!"

The pain of its body being torn apart made its howl extremely miserable. It ferociously pounced forward, wanting to endure its injuries and take Xu Ran away. As long as it killed Xu Ran, nothing else mattered.

It was just a little injury.

So what?

The divine is fearless!

However, it miscalculated its injuries...

The continuous [Super Explosion Slash] caused its body to dismember, and as it ferociously charged forward, its body parts fell from the air, like the burnt-out remnants of a rocket...

The dog demon used all its might to cross a thousand meters, but its arms, its limbs, its chest and abdomen, its rump, all fell behind it, leaving only a head crashing toward Xu Ran.

Xu Ran sneered.

Madly retreated.

Pulled back more than three hundred meters.

This distance was like a chasm!

The dog demon was in disbelief, its eyes rolling, it looked down at itself.

It turned out there was only a head left.

Other parts of its body had all been neatly cut, laying on the ground, its flesh torn apart, even the Crystal Armor was cracked.

"No!"

"Impossible!"

The dog demon was utterly terrified.

It stagnated in the air, not entirely dead, its head emitted a strange dark light, followed by every piece of its body emitting dark light, those shattered body parts rapidly flew up, trying to fuse together to reconstitute the body.

"It can still do this?!"

Xu Ran chuckled, continued wielding his blade, slashing at the dog demon. Its dismembered body continued to be subdivided, with the heart and head areas suddenly exploding.

That was the Annihilation Seal finishing the job.

If the dog demon was in its prime, a mere two Annihilation Seals certainly wouldn't kill it.

But it was critically injured by Xu Ran, becoming almost a corpse, the Annihilation Seal could take advantage of this, exploding its fatal areas.

The heart was shattered, the inside of its skull churned.

The dog demon's pupils widened, filled with terror.

Its resurrection was interrupted!

Stopped abruptly!

"Aaaa!!! Kill, kill, kill!"

It howled and roared in impotent fury, unprecedented fear, and cold tide drowning it...

In reality, its flesh had perished numerous times.

But at this moment, it was terrified to the extreme because it hadn't even seen the shadow of its foe.

Moreover, it had a premonition of encountering a total cataclysmic strike.

But what could it do?

Every time it rose, it was instantly neutralized, leaving nothing more to be said.

It hadn't even been able to resist!

The enemy was so daunting it brought despair, or rather, the opponent's power should be less than its own, but their combat strategy and brilliance far outshone its own!

The dog demon's head fell with a plop from the sky.

Three hundred meters away, Xu Ran's eyes sparkled, a faint smile forming.

One must say.

The dog demon's counterattack was indeed ferocious, in just a second, it countercharged 900 meters, just a hundred meters more and it would have taken down Xu Ran.

If its Qi Blood Value was 20 million points, in that counterattack, it surely could have torn Xu Ran apart, sealing part of the victory.

Or put another way, if it could tear Xu Ran apart.

Then the Seed of Faith, Suppression Simulation, would all fail.

Xu Ran would undoubtedly be dragged into a prolonged battle.

And a prolonged battle was what Xu Ran didn't want to see. Entering a prolonged battle, in Xu Ran's mind, was tantamount to defeat.

The waves of combat from a prolonged battle would attract a lot of attention. He couldn't quietly cut down trees anymore.

Unfortunately... in a life-and-death battle, there are no ifs, a small mistake leads to substantial difference, and the dog demon erred its first step, unable to reverse the situation until death.

The battle ended in three minutes.

Appearing coincidental.

But actually inevitable.

Seeming easy, yet from the dog demon's perspective, those brief three minutes were fraught with peril, overwhelming difficulty, the entire situation akin to Mount Tai's pressure!

Its death was not unjust.

Xu Ran stared at the corpse with calm seriousness, analyzing:

"Qi Blood Value increases by ten million, combat power strength increases by tenfold. Luckily, I didn't choose to trigger the Bloodthirsty Immortal Bone in front of the Death Worm, if that had happened... I would have had to deplete all trump cards to achieve the kill. That wouldn't have been worth it."

"Fortunately... multiple factors culminated, allowing me to conclude the battle within three minutes."

This was indeed a result of precision calculation, but also because the dog demon granted opportunities.

If the dog demon was a bit more confident, he might not have won so quickly either.

Xu Ran raised his head, eyes full of confidence: "This battle, I gained a lot, even transformed, feeling distinctly different!"

"A battle mobilizing all my intellect!"

Xu Ran's voice was elated, body slightly trembling, that was excitement, exhilaration, and overwhelming joy.

Recently in the past 170 days, his cultivation speed accelerated greatly.

Qi Blood Value surged by 1.4 million points.

Cultivation came quickly, so his combat skills would somewhat lag behind.

But the previous battle seemed to have opened his Ren and Du Meridians, allowing his combat prowess to advance as if reaching the state of an immortal.

This is not exaggeration!

Not at all!

Xu Ran's combat ability transcended dozens of times.

He comprehended more possibilities.

The next battle, his calculation and tricks would undoubtedly be more mature, more precise, more despair-inducing for the enemy.

And just as Xu Ran was pondering.

A mysterious eyeball emerged from the dog demon's body. The eyeball was blood-red, glimmering with a frantic light.

That was the Mysterious Divine Eye, only born from creatures above Divine Level, as long as the Mysterious Divine Eye wasn't destroyed, the dog demon could resurrect somewhere, and once again grow into a Divine Level creature.

This process only required 50 years.

It quickly fled towards the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone, moving swiftly, equivalent to the speed at the Peak of Hill Realm, much faster than when it was in the second-level Contaminated Area.
