Immortal Hoof! Immortal Hoof!

Lu Ran almost stomped his foot and cursed.

Was he crazy?

On a rainy day like this, he came to the rooftop to listen to the wind?

"I... I'll do it!"

Lu Ran's heart leaped. Seeing Deng Yuxiang lunging at him with a knife, he naturally wanted to evade her attack.

But before she arrived, the wind came first!

"Whoosh!"

A fierce wind swept over, forcefully stopping Lu Ran's forward momentum and changing his direction, sending him flying towards the rooftop railing.

"Ugh..." Lu Ran grunted, his back pressed against the railing, his guard wide open.

In his sight, a wind blade descended from above, aimed directly at his face!

"Clang!"

Lu Ran instinctively raised his knife to block. The wind blade met the wooden knife with a crisp sound.

Surprisingly, the wooden knife did not shatter.

Even though Lu Ran unleashed his divine power, wrapping it around the blade as much as possible, how could such a wooden knife withstand a sharp wind blade?

Undoubtedly, Deng Yuxiang had held back.

And she had held back significantly!

"Not bad," Deng Yuxiang said, holding the wind blade in one hand and looking down at Lu Ran, who was struggling to resist. She increased the force in her hand.

"Baa!" Lu Ran bleated.

Divine Technique - Sound of Mercy!

Deng Yuxiang continued to smile, her grip unwavering. Instead, she applied even more force.

Such a low-level divine technique had no effect on her.

"Sister Rain Alley, stop messing around! You... you should go easy! You're really going to chop me!" Lu Ran couldn't withstand her strength, his heart pounding.

His reason told him that Deng Yuxiang wouldn't kill him.

But her aura was too terrifying, and the sharp blade hung over his head. This feeling of extreme danger...

It even reminded Lu Ran of the paper effigies on the God-Worshipping Platform!

"You can't even get my name right," Deng Yuxiang tilted her head slightly, looking at the struggling Lu Ran.

Lu Ran seized the opportunity to change his stance. He twisted his wooden knife, and at the same time, performed a leaping roll, darting away along the wall.

"Whoosh~"

Deng Yuxiang's figure instantly followed, her wind blade slashing, launching a series of attacks.

Lu Ran hurriedly blocked. In just a few seconds, they had exchanged over ten moves.

It was a heart-stopping exchange!

Most of his movements were instinctive, more like muscle memory than conscious blocks.

Lu Ran had practiced swordsmanship since he was young, and years of continuous, arduous training had indeed laid a solid foundation.

"You can do," Deng Yuxiang praised, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

She knew Lu Ran was ranked first, but she hadn't expected the young man to have such skill.

Praise aside, Deng Yuxiang's movements were not slow.

She suddenly lifted a leg, kicking Lu Ran back repeatedly, then slashed upwards with her blade.

Lu Ran stomped his foot heavily and leaped to the side.

"Whoosh~"

Before he arrived, the wind came again!

Lu Ran intended to leap sideways and roll to his feet, but he had no chance to maneuver. The wind wave swept him horizontally.

Lu Ran tumbled across the slippery concrete floor.

Before he could get up, he used an opportunity while lying on his back to thrust his knife upwards.

"Crack~"

Just as the wind blade was about to touch Lu Ran's throat, it suddenly shattered.

Deng Yuxiang knelt on Lu Ran's chest with one knee. She no longer held a wind blade, only her hand, in a gripping posture, rested on Lu Ran's neck.

"Gulp." Lu Ran swallowed, unable to process it.

Too fast!

This woman's movement speed was fast, and her attack speed was even faster.

The believer of the Second-Class God, North Wind Blade, lived up to its name!

"Did you learn it?" Deng Yuxiang shifted her palm, her fingertips brushing Lu Ran's earlobe.

Lu Ran stared blankly at the woman's beautiful face beneath her yellow hood.

At this moment, he no longer saw beauty or ugliness, only a desire to quickly distance himself from this dangerous being.

This was indeed not a small nightmare, but a big nightmare!

"Speak! Did you learn it?" Deng Yuxiang pinched Lu Ran's earlobe again.

Lu Ran snapped back to reality and hesitantly asked, "Should I buy a gem earring like you, sister?"

Deng Yuxiang almost laughed in anger and pulled Lu Ran's ear.

Lu Ran gasped, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"Wind."

"What?"

"The sound of the wind."

Lu Ran stared blankly at Deng Yuxiang, forgetting the pain for a moment.

"You'll understand," Deng Yuxiang slowly stood up and walked towards the rooftop railing.

Lu Ran sat up, "I'm not a North Wind believer, can I still judge the direction of an enemy's attack by listening to the wind?"

Deng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow, she already understood?

She picked up the milk carton and fish can, casually tossing the can to Lu Ran, "It has nothing to do with gods or believers. You're a swordsman, aren't you?"

With that, Deng Yuxiang opened the milk carton, tilted her head back, and drank.

Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully.

"Gulp, gulp. Burp~"

Deng Yuxiang let out a milky burp and looked at Lu Ran, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Whoosh!!"

Before she finished speaking, the wind arrived!

Deng Yuxiang, carrying the wind and rain, appeared directly in front of Lu Ran.

The strong wind made her yellow raincoat flap wildly, and it also made Lu Ran's short hair dance.

Deng Yuxiang licked the milk stains from her lips and looked down at the boy sitting on the ground, "Still want to be beaten?"

Such movement speed was equivalent to teleportation for Lu Ran!

"Huh?" Deng Yuxiang flicked her right hand, and a slender wind blade formed again.

Lu Ran quickly got up, "I'm looking for a cat!"

"What?" Deng Yuxiang was a little surprised.

Lu Ran covered his chest with his hands and explained, "On the sixth day of the lunar month, I saw a stray cat here, a small Li Hua. I really regretted not taking it home."

Deng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows slightly, "You're quite compassionate."

Lu Ran pursed his lips, not responding. Mainly because my cat sister has business to attend to! She insisted on nursing me. I have too deep an impression of it.

Deng Yuxiang said casually, "You go back, I'll help you look."

"Ah?" Lu Ran was quite surprised.

"What 'ah'?" Deng Yuxiang twisted her wrist and heavily slapped Lu Ran's butt with the side of her blade, "Go home!"

"Slap~"

Lu Ran: "..." Fine, fine, fine! You really haven't heard of the saying 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'? You hit my butt, just you wait!

Thirty years from now, don't you dare cry out in pain.

Lu Ran turned and left, but after entering the stairwell, he stopped again. He quietly poked half his face out, watching in secret.

He saw Nightmare shake the milk carton in her hand and drain it in one gulp.

Then, with a light leap, she flew directly over the rooftop railing and disappeared into the misty rain.

Lu Ran held the fish can, watching Yellow Raincoat drift further away.

To say he wasn't envious would be a lie.

The believers of North Wind Blade were truly high-flying and dashing!

Lu Ran sighed inwardly and turned to go downstairs.

What he didn't know was that on the rooftop of the adjacent residential building, the woman in the yellow raincoat stood quietly, watching him leave the desolate community and seeing him off.

The way home was silent, not a soul in sight.

Rain Alley City, a perfectly good city, had been turned into a ghost town by Lunar Fifteenth.

Lu Ran was used to this.

The Gods and Devils races descended in the early 1980s, and Lu Ran was born in 2001.

Ever since he was born, society had operated this way.

Only the older generation knew what a world without Gods and Devils looked like.

Returning home, Lu Ran immediately went to the bathroom and took a long, hot shower.

After eating the fish can, he sat on his small bed and began to meditate and cultivate.

A thin mist permeated his body, gradually spreading throughout the small bedroom.

Lu Ran repeatedly compressed and condensed the mist filling his body, focusing all his attention on breaking through to Mist Realm Stage Three.

By late night, the energy fluctuations around him grew stronger, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Mist swirled, nourishing his flesh and blood, expanding the vessel of his body.

"Hoo!!"

Wind and waves surged, and divine mist rippled.

Lu Ran's face was filled with joy, his body trembling as he greedily absorbed the mist in the room, unwilling to waste a single bit.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Ran carefully climbed out of bed and went before the shrine:

"Immortal Sheep, I did it!"

The Xianyang jade sculpture remained silent, showing no reaction.

Lu Ran continued, "I can learn the Divine Technique Immortal Hoof now!"

The room remained silent.

"I get it," Lu Ran slapped his forehead.

He quickly found his phone and started searching online.

The basic divine techniques of any god could be found online. However, learning was one thing; without the assistance of the corresponding god, you couldn't cast the spell.

Lu Ran sat at the foot of his bed, reading the description of the Divine Technique Immortal Hoof on the webpage:

"Mobilize the divine power within your body and wrap your legs."

Following the divine technique's instructions, Lu Ran made his preparations, then prayed in his heart, calling for Immortal Sheep to manifest.

The next moment, Lu Ran's eyes narrowed!

Mist emanated from his lower legs, simulating a pair of sheep legs.

"Whoa?" Lu Ran looked down at the misty sheep legs.

Thick and large, strong and powerful!

Especially those big sheep hooves, they were too realistic.

It felt like wearing a suit of armor?

It was just that this armor was incomplete, only having components for the lower legs and feet.

"Tsk tsk~" Lu Ran marveled, carefully standing up.

He aimed at the east wall, confirming multiple times that there were no obstacles in his path, then exerted force with his feet.

"Hoo!!"

"Oh my god!" Lu Ran exclaimed, mist erupting from his feet like thrusters.

He shot forward, crashing directly into the east wall.

Xianyang Divine Technique Immortal Hoof!

"Yoohoo~!"

In the quiet rainy night, within the small bedroom filled with warm light, a figure darted back and forth, endlessly delighted.

"Hahahaha!"

"Joy! So much joy!"

"Face the wind! Face the Immortal Hoof!"

"Hassage!"
