"That's it?" Lu Ran muttered to himself.

A mere Blood Disaster Hound, daring to cause trouble at our Gate 4?

Don't they know we're professional dog killers?

All those evil dogs we've dealt with are watching you from the heavens!

Lu Ran took a step forward, intending to rejoin the group, but at that moment.

"Lu Ran!"

"Behind you, Lu Ran!" Shouts of alarm erupted, making Lu Ran's heart pound.

Whoosh!!

Divine Technique: Immortal Hoof!

Lu Ran reacted with lightning speed, divine mist erupting from his feet.

But in the next second, his entire body stiffened.

Divine mist did indeed swirl beneath Lu Ran's feet, but he couldn't break free!

Because a pair of slender arms had reached out from behind him, embracing him.

"Mmm~"

A woman's hum, very alluring, came from beside his ear.

It was clear she was enjoying herself.

"Gulp." Lu Ran swallowed.

The woman's embrace was icy cold, plunging him into an ice cave, his hair standing on end!

Those seemingly slender and delicate arms contained an incredibly powerful force, holding Lu Ran firmly.

Not only that, but the woman's voluminous clothing behind him seemed alive!

The large red garment wrapped around his wrists, and also entangled his Xiaguang Saber.

Demon Race: Yanzhiren!

Lu Ran didn't turn his head. How did he know the demon behind him was a Yanzhiren?

Because he could hear the pleasant sound of jewelry gently clinking.

Undoubtedly, this sound came from the exquisite phoenix crown the woman wore!

Lu Ran could also sense that the woman was clad in a large red bridal gown. At the very least, her red sleeves were embroidered with flowers and birds, a blinding red.

"Lu Ran!"

Jiang Ruyi's heart leaped into her throat, feeling the world was incredibly unreal.

The frequent appearance of River Realm demons was already bizarre enough.

Now, a Yanzhiren had appeared?

One had to know, Yanzhiren were an extremely rare race.

On every full moon night, you might see ten thousand Blood Disaster Hounds but not even one Yanzhiren!

Yet, she had appeared at Gate 4, even appearing directly behind Lu Ran, as if a ridiculous nightmare.

"Cadet!"

Zhang Feng also shouted, though still entangled by the Youtong Ghost, he had to reach out a hand to save him.

"Whoosh!!"

Waves of divine power surged.

A giant lotus bloomed beneath the feet of the newlywed couple.

"Hehe~"

The woman's light laughter was pleasant, but to Lu Ran, it sounded terrifying.

He felt a tremendous force, and held by the woman, he was sent flying backward.

"Jingle jingle~ Jing~"

In the wind and rain, the gold and silver jewels on the woman's magnificent phoenix crown swayed gently.

Carried backward, Lu Ran was also brushed by the fluttering large red bridal gown.

Such a bizarre yet beautiful scene, as beautiful as a painting. As for the title of the painting...

"Meee~"

Lu Ran let out a small cry, a sliver of despair rising in his heart.

This time, he didn't dare use the Sound of Lamentation, but a pure Voice of Compassion.

Yanzhiren. Uh, Sister Yanzhiren, what wind blew you here?

It must be the cold wind.

I'm sorry, I forgot to burn a perfect husband for you.

Can I still burn one now?

"Shush."

Suddenly, Yanzhi raised a long finger to Lu Ran's lips, as if not wanting him to bleat any further.

With her other hand, she reached into Lu Ran's black raincoat and gently caressed his burning chest.

Lu Ran's temples throbbed!

Those icy fingertips felt like they could pierce his chest at any moment and crush his heart.

"Mmm~" The maximally seductive hum sounded again.

The woman's pale and beautiful face was buried deep in Lu Ran's neck, greedily inhaling the scent of his youthful, vigorous body.

In fact, she was already "tasting" Lu Ran.

If the gods fed on the faith of the human race, then the demon race fed on the panic, fear, despair, and other emotions of the human race.

At this moment, the terror Lu Ran was exuding was truly making Yanzhiren enjoy herself immensely.

"Lu Ran!"

"Cadet!!" Screams erupted, and a team of Wangyueren frantically pursued them.

And in the night rain, a pair of newcomers were still flying backward.

They flew backward over the stadium's iron fence, past the dim streetlights on the road, and into the pitch-black, vast, rainy night.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

Sounds of air being torn apart echoed as several flying swords rapidly stabbed towards them.

"Hmph."

Yanzhiren snorted coldly, encircling Lu Ran with one arm, restraining his limbs, and reaching out with the other.

The wide red sleeve, embroidered with flowers and birds, suddenly enlarged.

Evil Technique: Yanzhi Sleeve!

The fiercely incoming sharp flying swords seemed to vanish into thin air, all of them swept into the large red sleeve.

Lu Ran: !!!

At this moment, his heart was filled with despair.

For the vast majority of the demon race, you could roughly judge their strength and realm by their size.

The Yanzhiren race was a bit special.

The size of these demons was not linked to their strength and realm, so you had to judge them by other means.

For example, their evil techniques!

The "Yanzhi Sleeve" is a skill that only a Yanzhiren of the River Realm could possess.

Today, the area around Gate 4 of the stadium's west entrance had truly become a nest for River Realm demons!

This was not normal!

Extremely not normal!

"Moo." The bleating sound rose again, only to be muffled.

Under the restraint of Yanzhiren's large red bridal gown, Lu Ran couldn't move at all, not even able to struggle much.

He only had his mouth left.

Divine Technique: Voice of Compassion, was also Lu Ran's only reliance.

But this time, Yanzhiren didn't gently tell Lu Ran to shut up; instead, she roughly stuffed his mouth with her red clothing.

"Yiyi!"

Yanzhiren let out a strange shriek, and her large red bridal gown, fluttering in the wind, grew enormous.

Evil Technique: Red Bridal Gown!

The hem of the wedding dress became like a red sea wave, surging and crashing ferociously towards the enemies pursuing from behind.

"Cut off her retreat!"

"Rise!!" Amidst the monstrous red wave, several Wangyueren relentlessly pursued.

They leaped and weaved through buildings, and some even flew through the night sky.

And with a furious roar, at the cross street behind them, the ground trembled, and endless white bones surged forth.

In the blink of an eye, a curved bone wall, built from dense white bones, rose from the ground.

With their retreat cut off, Yanzhiren could only flee upwards into the sky.

"Buzz!"

Fierce buzzing sounds echoed through the night sky, a dense rain of swords pouring down.

"Eek!" The Yanzhiren shrieked, her red tail still thrashing fiercely, attempting to destroy the bone wall.

And in her pale palm, a small paper effigy suddenly appeared?

Evil Technique · Paper Effigy!

Seeing this, several Wangyueren's expressions changed drastically.

The Yanzhiren gripped the paper effigy, her eyes filled with malice as she stared intently at the Wangyueren who had summoned the bone wall.

Then, her cold palm slowly tightened.

"Ah!" A Wangyueren screamed and fell to the ground.

By inertia, his body rolled forward, sliding.

And during the roll, his body was squeezed together uncontrollably, his limbs twisting.

It was as if an invisible giant hand was slowly squeezing his body!

"Rumble!"

The red wave shattered the bone wall, and the Yanzhiren was sent flying backward.

The sword rain continued to pour down, but it couldn't sever the fated bond between the man and woman.

"Mmm."

The Yanzhiren let out a satisfied sigh.

She wrapped her arms around the Human Race man in her embrace, tilted her head slightly, parted her thin lips, and nibbled on Lu Ran's earlobe.

Was it a reward for herself?

Lu Ran's eyes widened!

His heart was not only filled with despair but also a deep sense of humiliation.

That feeling of weakness and helplessness, of being at the mercy of others, resurfaced in his heart.

He thought that after becoming a Believer, everything would gradually get better.

He thought.

"Whoosh!!"

Suddenly, a fierce wind erupted, and the two spun uncontrollably.

"Eek!" The Yanzhiren shrieked in anger.

"Ah!" Lu Ran screamed.

The tornado appeared without warning, out of nowhere!

Its immense power and sudden appearance actually tore the newlywed couple apart!

As they spun wildly, the Yanzhiren didn't even have time to cast a spell, only instinctively grabbing Lu Ran.

Her sharp nails dug into Lu Ran's arm, and by the time they were both flung apart by the storm, Lu Ran's arm was already slashed with several long, deep wounds.

Deep enough to see bone!

It was a horrifying sight, making one's teeth ache and flesh cringe.

The Yanzhiren was flung out of the tornado and managed to steady herself.

In her sight, Lu Ran was flying diagonally downwards, crashing towards the green belt by the roadside.

The Yanzhiren immediately flew after him. As if not fast enough, she flicked her blood-stained sleeve towards Lu Ran.

Evil Technique · Yanzhi Sleeve!

The Yanzhiren was chasing Lu Ran, and behind her in the night sky.

A figure clad in a yellow raincoat was rapidly flying through the layers of rain!

"Hmm?" The Yanzhiren seemed to sense something.

She turned her head slightly, looking upwards and behind her.

Upon seeing the furiously pursuing attacker, energy surged in the Yanzhiren's hand, and she grabbed another paper effigy.

The Yellow Raincoat's beautiful eyes instantly narrowed!

Her body, which had been piercing forward like a javelin, showed signs of slight distortion?!

At this very moment, a bleating sound suddenly rang out:

"Baa~~~"

Lu Ran was flying downwards, the blood splattering from his arm like a rain of blood.

The piercing pain made his cries even more agonizing.

Divine Technique · Sound of Lamentation!

In an instant, the paper effigy's attention was captured.

She no longer turned her head back, but instead looked at Lu Ran with eyes shining, filled with greedy desire.

The voice of compassion could not stop the boiling water.

Fortunately, the sound of lamentation could add fuel to the fire!

Inciting a creature already filled with murderous intent was far, far easier than persuading it to lay down its butcher's knife!

Lu Ran, enduring the pain, watched the paper effigy rapidly approach and activated his divine technique again:

"Baa~~~"

Yes, don't look back!

Do you hear

"Whoosh!"

Huang Yuyi, carrying wind and rain, moved with incredible speed, flashing past the paper effigy's side.

The great saber in her hand left a long trail of light, cutting through layers of rain and severing a beautiful head adorned with a phoenix crown.

A gust of wind hit his face!

Lu Ran's eyes were tightly shut, his short hair dancing wildly.

That's right, the sound of the wind.
