Bloody Purgatory

"Careful," Wei Long said, advancing with a red robe appearing on his body.

Divine Technique: Blood Sha Robe!

Lu Ran tensed, gripping his wooden knife tightly.

The higher the grade of the Blood Sha Robe, the deeper its color.

And Wei Long's robe was a "Great Red Robe"!

Its Divine Technique quality couldn't be lower than River Grade.

"Whoosh!"

Wei Long, who had been rapidly approaching, suddenly flicked his palm.

The tail of the red robe swept forward, but its vibrant color rapidly faded during the attack.

By the time the tail swept in front of Lu Ran, it had faded to a semi-transparent state.

Clearly, Wei Long was strictly following Captain Sun Zhengfang's orders and deliberately lowered the Divine Technique's quality.

Was he afraid he might accidentally kill Lu Ran?

"Screech—"

The sound of tearing fabric suddenly rang out.

As Lu Ran ducked to evade the robe's tail, he viciously slashed upward with his wooden knife.

Wrapped in dense Divine Power, the low-grade wooden knife swung out a half-moon of mist!

The lowest quality Blood Sha Robe was instantly cut open.

Lu Ran was already a Mist Realm Fourth Stage believer, no longer the little lamb he once was.

"Haha!" Sun Zhengfang's laughter echoed from afar. "I told you to go easy, but you don't need to go that easy. This kid is a special admission student handpicked by the bureau; he's got some skills."

"Yes!" Wei Long replied loudly. The robe on his body vanished and reappeared, transforming into a brand-new light red robe.

Lu Ran stared blankly at the sight. One-click outfit change?

The next moment, the robe's tail swept towards him again.

Lu Ran, already crouching, immediately sprang to the side. He rolled, then stood up, all in one fluid motion.

Wei Long nodded inwardly at the clean, decisive movements. What will you do next?

"Whoosh~"

Waves of wind surged.

The light red robe suddenly grew, covering everything.

In an instant, the sky above Lu Ran was veiled in a light red hue.

"Hiss."

Mist erupted beneath Lu Ran's feet, and he rapidly retreated backward.

The light red tide crashed onto the ground, while Lu Ran landed in Deng Yuxiang's embrace.

Deng Yuxiang reached out and, facing the rapidly sliding Lu Ran, steadily supported his back and pushed him sideways. "Run, Little Lu Ran, don't get crushed."

"My sister cares about people the most!" Lu Ran's voice drifted further away as divine mist billowed beneath his feet, and he darted towards the center of the terrace.

"You rascal," Deng Yuxiang cursed with a laugh, watching the light red tide surge towards Lu Ran.

Sun Zhengfang also chuckled. "Big Dragon, what are you doing! You're not putting any pressure on him at all. How can Lu Ran still have the mood to joke?"

Wei Long: "..." Didn't you tell me to go easy?

Wei Long's inner thoughts were rich, but his expression remained cold. He suddenly raised his palm.

Deng Yuxiang's eyes narrowed. She wanted to warn Lu Ran but stopped herself.

With a dull "thud," Lu Ran stomped heavily on the ground, mist churning! His rapidly advancing figure came to an abrupt halt. About a meter in front of him, accompanied by a surge of energy, a blood-red chain appeared out of thin air.

If Lu Ran hadn't reacted in time and continued to dash forward, he would have been bound by the bloody chains!

Divine Technique: Imprisoned Devil Chain!

Imprisoned Devil is not a devil.

The gods have this title because their divine techniques can imprison countless evil spirits.

"Oh?" Wei Hu's eyes widened slightly in front of the terrace railing.

He clearly hadn't expected Lu Ran to dodge that attack!

Lu Ran, as a Mist Realm Believer, could stop his momentum mid-dash?

Such body control was truly remarkable.

What made Wei Hu even more curious was how Lu Ran detected the danger ahead.

The Imprisoned Devil Chain appeared out of thin air, moving with incredible speed!

The only flaw was a surge of energy in the area before the bloody chains appeared.

Could Lu Ran, moving at lightning speed, still detect the anomaly ahead?

An insider truly sees the details.

Lu Ran's simple stop revealed information that truly surprised everyone.

"Yes, we're testing young Lu." Sun Zhengfang was still on the phone, his eyes never leaving Lu Ran.

Deng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow slightly, gazing at Lu Ran's retreating back with interest.

Yutang had indeed mentioned that they spent a full 21 days killing in Evil Dog Village, during which Lu Ran often wore a red turban to cover his eyes.

It seemed he had taken her previous advice to heart.

"Whoa!" Lu Ran felt a lingering fear, and mist surged from his feet again.

Just as he retreated, another bloody chain appeared in his original spot.

It was a close call!

"Oh?" Wei Long let out the same sound of surprise, his raised hand not lowering.

Bloody chains appeared out of thin air, crisscrossing haphazardly.

However, the chains, glowing with blood-red light, couldn't entangle the agile Lambkin!

"The intensity is increasing too fast!" Lu Ran shouted.

Side-step, retreat, duck, Immortal Hoof.

Sudden stop, lower head, lift leg, Immortal Hoof.

Wei Hu was completely stunned!

His usually solemn expression broke as he blurted out two words: "Holy crap?!"

Sun Zhengfang, holding his phone, could no longer hear the person on the other end, his eyes fixated on Lu Ran's "lively" movements.

"Good!" Deng Yuxiang's eyes sparkled.

To achieve this in just twenty-one days?

Hard training was a given, but on the other hand...

Lu Ran, worthy of being a player who could summon the evil spirit Yanzhiren, was truly gifted!

"Haha!" Sun Zhengfang burst into laughter. "Big Dragon, increase the intensity a bit more, gradually, push his limits!"

Few things could make a middle-aged man laugh so heartily.

Sun Zhengfang was indeed overjoyed!

He had always been somewhat hesitant about taking Lu Ran on missions.

After all, it was the Night of the Fifteenth.

Any accident, and Sun Zhengfang couldn't imagine the punishment he and his squad would face.

Moreover, Sun Zhengfang felt guilty himself.

Who would have thought Lu Ran's performance would be so astonishing!

His evasion stats were maxed out?

"Understood," Wei Long responded expressionlessly, his voice deep. "Increasing intensity."

Instantly, the speed at which the chains appeared increased slightly.

"Easy, easy! Spicy Strip Big Bro!" Lu Ran flailed, completely panicked.

Wei Long: ???

"Haha~" Deng Yuxiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In this light, her nickname "Great Nightmare" actually sounded quite pleasant.

As Wei Long increased the intensity, Lu Ran, while constantly dodging, steadily approached the area where the other party was.

This was certainly not something Lu Ran had intended.

On the contrary, it must have been Wei Long's doing!

"Hoo!!"

Beneath Wei Long's feet, a bloody mist churned.

As expected, the moment Lu Ran entered Wei Long's casting range, the latter unhesitatingly cast his spell.

Divine Technique: Blood Sea Chaos!

This was the Divine Technique adapted for Prison Devil Believers at River Realm Stage Three.

The technique lived up to its name, with a dense blood mist surging like ocean waves, spreading outwards.

This technique could interfere with the target, causing the mist within their body to surge chaotically and disrupt their spellcasting.

It was a form of soft control.

Wei Long's strategy was clear: Divine Technique: Immortal Hoof had helped Lu Ran far too much, and had given him too much room for error.

Once he lost this crutch, how could Lu Ran possibly keep dancing?

"Crack!"

Lu Ran's calf, a sturdy sheep's leg pieced together from white mist, was forcefully shattered by the blood mist waves.

It appeared to be shattered, but in reality, Lu Ran's divine power surged within him, making it impossible to maintain the form of Immortal Hoof!

"It's gone," Wei Hu shook his head, though he still felt Lu Ran had performed admirably.

Look at this scene!

On the ground, thick blood mist continuously churned.

Countless blood-red chains hung and swayed in mid-air, crisscrossing haphazardly.

It was like hell!

This kind of environment was not a place for a Mist Realm Believer to be.

"Crack~"

In a corner of the terrace, Sun Zhengfang's phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Sun Zhengfang's mouth hung slightly open as he gazed at the figure still persisting, dodging and weaving within the bloody purgatory.

What am I seeing?

Was Lu Ran closing his eyes?

Sun Zhengfang peered closely, confirming it repeatedly, truly shocked by the scene before him.

Lu Ran had actually closed his eyes!

The others on the terrace immediately noticed this as well.

For a moment, their expressions were incredibly complex!

And Lu Ran, with his eyes tightly shut, continued to retreat and dodge.

A tilt of the head, a raise of the hand, a lean back, a smooth turn.

Every step was perilous!

The white mist sheep's leg could no longer envelop his calf or form externally to assist Lu Ran.

But what about Evil Technique: Evil Awareness?

No matter how chaotically Lu Ran's divine power surged within him, as long as there was divine power, his five senses could be activated!

People might not believe it if I said it.

The more violently Lu Ran's divine power surged, the more fiercely his senses were activated!

He could even smell the fragrance of Great Nightmare's hair from afar.

I wonder what shampoo she uses, so fresh and elegant.

Is it camellia?

Perhaps.

At this point, Lu Ran's continued performance was ultimately because the Imprisoned Devil Divine Technique: Blood Sea Chaos was a soft control technique, not a hard control.

So.

Evil Technique, activate?

No, Evil Technique had been active since the moment the battle began!

Twenty-one days of rigorous training had allowed Lu Ran to find his footing.

After returning home, equipped with Evil Technique: Evil Awareness, a whole new world opened up to him, making him as powerful as a tiger with wings!

Listen.

Lu Ran tilted his head sharply, his eyes still closed.

"Hoo!" A blood-red chain appeared out of nowhere, whipping past Lu Ran's ear.

Did you hear that?

The sound of the wind.
