"Splash!"

The heavy rain poured down, obscuring vision.

Through the curtain of rain, a colossal creature charged headlong, trampling towards the other side of the street.

"Moo!"

The Split Soul Devil's eyes flashed with cruel light, determined to crush the little figure in yellow completely!

Lu Ran didn't move, becoming a target by himself.

To his left and right, Wei Long and Wei Hu simultaneously extended their hands.

Under the surge of Divine Power, two large nets of chains overlapped, forming into shape.

"Crack!!"

This time, the Split Soul Devil had enough distance to charge, carrying immense force. It actually managed to shatter one large net.

However, the second net of chains still managed to stop the giant beast.

Wei Long urged his Divine Technique with all his might, reinforcing the net of chains: "Little Hu!"

Wei Hu immediately changed his move, summoning blood-red chains to bind the devil.

It was still the combination of Imprisoned Devil Chain and Blood Chain.

It still bound the Split Soul Devil tightly, piercing it until it was covered in blood.

"Moo!"

The Split Soul Devil roared again and again, thrashing in fury.

It was angry, it was unwilling.

It wished it could crush these weak Living Beings, capture all their souls, and torment them cruelly.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a whistling sound pierced the rainy night.

At some unknown time, another tall figure in a yellow raincoat stood atop the traffic light.

Coincidentally, she was standing right above the flashing yellow light.

Deng Yuxiang held the long Night Severing blade in one hand, while the other hand reached out diagonally downwards, aiming at the trapped wild bull.

Wind Blades formed rapidly from her palm, flying towards the Split Soul Devil.

North Wind Divine Technique · Flying Wind Order!

Deng Yuxiang flicked her fingers.

The Wind Blades instantly connected into a string, drawing an arc in the rain, bypassing the net of chains, and directly piercing the Split Soul Devil's body.

Instantly, the sound of blades entering flesh was incessant!

"Hiss—"

The Split Soul Devil's screams echoed through the rainy night, reaching countless homes and chilling people to the bone.

Suddenly, Deng Yuxiang leaped, lunging directly at the Split Soul Devil!

The Night Severing blade was already long enough, and a long blade mark trailed along its body.

North Wind Divine Technique · Remnant Wind Mark!

"Moo!"

The Split Soul Devil was already riddled with holes and bleeding profusely, but it was still struggling with all its might.

Its massive body seemed to contain endless vitality!

"Heh."

Deng Yuxiang snorted coldly, her beautiful eyes sharp.

Her slender figure weaved rapidly, flashing past the Split Soul Devil's side!

I heard, Your blood is thick?

"Screech—"

The great Night Severing blade forcefully severed the massive Ox Head!

Not only that!

The Night Severing blade also cut through the Imprisoned Devil Chains, shattered the Blood Chain Barrier, and finally plunged into the wet Asphalt Road!

Those who block the way die?

No, Whether you block the way or not, you die!

I don't know what the road did to deserve this.

This strike was like cutting tofu.

Seeing this, Lu Ran couldn't help but grin.

The Great Nightmare is really fierce!

Peace returned to the world, with only the sound of rain falling.

"Buzz~"

The Night Severing blade vibrated gently. Deng Yuxiang, kneeling on one knee, slowly rose and pulled the long blade from the asphalt road.

"I'm glad you like it."

Deng Yuxiang murmured, raising her blade and washing the blood-stained edge in the rain.

With a dull thud!

Behind the woman, the colossal creature collapsed.

The black mist surrounding the Split Soul Devil's body also quietly dissipated, vanishing without a trace.

Across the street, Lu Ran's body trembled slightly as the Split Soul Devil's soul was drawn into his body.

Tsk, that felt good!

This Split Soul Devil's realm was probably around River Realm Fourth Stage to Fifth Stage.

This soul alone was equivalent to the souls of 100 Mist Realm Split Soul Devils.

And that was a conservative estimate.

"Well done."

"Well done." Wei Long and Wei Hu said the same thing, reaching out simultaneously to place their hands on Lu Ran's shoulders, one on each side.

"I didn't do much," Lu Ran said casually.

Wei Long: "You drew the Split Soul Devil's attention to yourself."

Wei Hu: "The fact that you dared to stand here and face it is already enough."

The Split Soul Devil was incredibly frenzied and extremely ferocious. Facing such a being required immense courage!

"Don't you guys have my back?" Lu Ran was being honest.

The Dragon Tiger Twins were his confidence!

The Wei brothers stopped talking, and Lu Ran looked at the demon's corpse.

The Split Soul Devil race was not weak, but unfortunately, their temperament was too impulsive and violent.

Once they went mad, Split Soul Devils were more inclined to solve everything with brute force rather than casting spells.

However, it couldn't be said that this Split Soul Devil didn't cast spells, as "amplifying strength" was one of its evil techniques.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran's heart stirred.

Should he play it even safer?

Should he activate a Split Soul Devil statue in the Stream Realm first?

And then, once he reached the River Realm and was sure his mental strength was sufficient, activate Sister Yanzhi?

Upon closer thought, the Split Soul Devil Sect's evil techniques were quite good, with some even being quite similar to the Immortal Goat's divine techniques.

Could they pass for the real thing?

Hmm, he should discuss it with Lord Immortal Goat when he got back. He wondered if the gods would agree.

After all, the Immortal Goat's approach was for Lu Ran to play it safe.

The growth path it provided for Lu Ran was: enhancing senses, strengthening speed and agility, and then boosting defense.

Whereas the Split Soul Devil's evil techniques leaned more towards offense.

"Little Lu Ran?"

"Here!" Lu Ran snapped back to attention.

Deng Yuxiang, while absorbing the demon's corpse with a Divine Power Bead, said, "Go to that shop and tell your classmate to go inside and stay put.

If there's a next time, you'll be expelled."

Hearing this, Lu Ran immediately crossed the road and sprinted over.

He saw that Chang Ying had actually returned to the window again?

As expected of the girl Young Master Deng appreciates!

This tomboy really had guts!

"Lu Ran!" Chang Ying immediately opened a gap in the window, her expression excited, her eyes full of admiration. "That sister is so cool!"

Lu Ran almost choked with anger.

What was she doing?

While other citizens were spending a fearful night, she was here watching a show?

Chang Ying: "Thank you too! I just heard the sheep bleating and suddenly wanted to tease you!"

Lu Ran: "."

Chang Ying's expression was excited, her eyes also showing a hint of admiration: "You used the sheep's bleating to lure away the big black bull, didn't you?"

Chang Ying was different from Moon Watcher; she was just a rookie in the Mist Realm.

She didn't need to harbor killing intent towards Lu Ran. The Sound of Lamentation could have a certain effect on her.

Back in Evil Dog Village, Lu Ran had almost toyed with Beauty Jiang, who was in the same realm, to the brink of collapse.

Lu Ran said in a deep voice: "That older sister asked me to tell you to go to the inner room and stay there, or else you'll be expelled!"

Chang Ying's expression froze, and her mouth opened slightly.

Lu Ran's expression was unusually serious: "Did you understand?"

"Mhm, mhm!" Chang Ying nodded repeatedly, her face full of obedience.

"Hurry into the room and stay by the Oracle God Statue. I'm leaving." Lu Ran had visited this place before and naturally knew the internal layout of the auto repair shop.

He quickly gave a reminder and turned to leave.

"Lu Ran!"

"Hm?" Lu Ran stopped in his tracks and turned his head.

He saw a bottle of Wahaha being handed out from the slightly open window: "Thank you, you guys. Share it."

"Thanks, but no need." Lu Ran walked away, casually slashing his saber horizontally through a curtain of rain, "You get what you ask for."

Chang Ying's eyes sparkled as she watched Lu Ran's dashing figure disappear.

I knew it!

Who would be thirsty on a rainy day like this?

Truly, heroes think alike. Damn it! That detestable Deng Yutang, stealing my spot!

I'll challenge you to a duel!

Just you wait until school starts, I'll definitely use the Five Treasure Oracle to draw you to death.

Chang Ying was fantasizing about using her signature skill to carve out a path for herself and vent her anger on Deng Yutang.

But in the next second, her heart suddenly panicked. She felt like she was locked onto by a gaze.

Chang Ying looked over and saw the beautiful and cool older sister on the street staring at her with icy eyes.

"Oh my god!"

Chang Ying turned and ran. On the way, she encountered her worried parents who had come looking for her. Chang Ying grabbed them one by one and continued running.

At the same time, on the rainy night street.

The Moon Watcher squad all looked south, listening to superior orders through their invisible earpieces.

"Let's go, Wilderness!" After a moment, Sun Zhengfang's expression was solemn as he gave the order.

"Yes!"

"Yes!" The five-person squad rushed directly towards the southeast, towards a gloomy and pitch-black wilderness.

Leather boots splashed through the muddy road, sending up sprays of water.

Loose raincoats flapped in the wind and rain.

Accompanied by the rumbling and roaring sounds from all over the city, it wove a special, stirring battle song!

Lu Ran's squad was very special.

If the Moon Watcher teams stationed at the various shelters focused on defense—

Then Lu Ran's Moon Gazers patrol team had only one focus:

Kill!
