Kill!

"Whoosh..."

Heavy rain poured down, obscuring everyone's vision.

Within the rain curtain, a colossal creature rampaged forward, crushing toward the opposite side of the street.

"Moo!"

Cruel light flickered in the Split Soul Devil's eyes. It was determined to stomp that little figure in yellow into pieces!

Lu Ran did not move, standing alone as a target.

Behind him, Wei Long and Wei Hu extended their hands at the same time.

As Divine Power surged forth, two enormous chain nets overlapped and took shape.

"Kacha!!"

This time, the Split Soul Devil had enough distance to charge. Carrying the force of a thousand pounds, it actually smashed one of the nets apart head-on.

But the second chain net still managed to stop the giant beast.

Wei Long desperately activated his divine technique, reinforcing the chain net. "Xiao Hu!"

Wei Hu immediately changed techniques, summoning crimson chains one after another to bind the evil devil.

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

The Split Soul Devil was once again trussed up like a bundle, pierced until blood streamed all over its body.

"Moo!"

The Split Soul Devil roared again and again, flying into a towering rage.

It was furious. It was unwilling.

It wanted nothing more than to crush this group of weak living creatures beneath its hooves, gather all their souls into its possession, and torture them cruelly.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

A sudden sound of Breaking the Air sliced through the rainy night.

At some unknown moment, another tall figure wearing a yellow raincoat had appeared atop the traffic lights.

By coincidence, she stood directly above the constantly flashing yellow light.

Deng Yuxiang held the long Night Severing Blade in one hand while reaching diagonally downward with the other, aiming at the trapped wild ox.

Wind Blades rapidly formed in her palm and shot toward the Split Soul Devil.

North Wind Divine Technique: Flying Wind Order!

Deng Yuxiang merely flicked her fingers.

The wind blades instantly linked into a chain, drawing an arc through the rain. They curved around the chain net and stabbed straight into the Split Soul Devil's body.

In an instant, the sounds of blades entering flesh rang without end!

"Hiss!"

The Split Soul Devil's screams echoed through the rainy night, drifting toward countless households and making people's hair stand on end.

Suddenly, Deng Yuxiang leaped high into the air, lunging straight at the Split Soul Devil!

The Night Severing Blade was already long enough, yet an even longer blade mark trailed along it.

North Wind Divine Technique: Remnant Wind Mark!

"Moo!"

The Split Soul Devil was already riddled with holes and drenched in blood, yet it still struggled with all its might.

That colossal body seemed to contain endless vitality!

"Heh."

Deng Yuxiang gave a cold snort, her beautiful eyes sharp.

Her slender figure flashed at extreme speed, passing by the Split Soul Devil's side in an instant!

I heard...

Your blood is really thick?

"Sizzle—"

The massive Night Severing Blade forcibly severed the enormous Ox Head!

That was not all!

The Night Severing Blade also cut apart the Imprisoned Devil Chain, shattered the Blood Chain Barrier, and finally sank into the wet asphalt road!

Anyone who blocks my way dies?

No.

Whether you block my way or not, you still have to die!

Who knew what the road had done to deserve this.

That slash cut through it like tofu.

Seeing this, Lu Ran could not help baring his teeth.

The Great Nightmare... was truly vicious!

Peace returned to heaven and earth, leaving only the sound of rain falling.

"Hum~"

The Night Severing Blade trembled lightly. Deng Yuxiang, who had been kneeling on one knee, slowly rose and pulled the long blade from the asphalt road.

"As long as you like it."

Deng Yuxiang murmured, raising the blade and letting the rain wash over its bloodstained blade body.

With a dull "thud!"

Behind the woman, the colossal creature crashed to the ground.

The ball of black mist surrounding the Split Soul Devil's body silently dispersed and vanished without a trace.

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

Tsk, that felt good!

This Split Soul Devil was probably around the fourth or fifth stage of the River Realm.

This one soul alone was worth a hundred Mist Realm Split Soul Devil souls.

And that was a conservative estimate.

"Well done."

"Well done." Wei Long and Wei Hu spoke the same words as they simultaneously reached out, one on each side, and pressed their hands onto Lu Ran's shoulders.

"I didn't really do anything." Lu Ran answered casually.

Wei Long said, "You drew all of the Split Soul Devil's attention onto yourself."

Wei Hu said, "The fact that you dared stand here and face it head-on was already enough."

The Split Soul Devil was incomparably frenzied and exceptionally brutal. Facing such a creature required immense courage from anyone!

"Wasn't I protected by you two?" Lu Ran was completely honest.

The Dragon Tiger Twins were his confidence!

The Wei Brothers said nothing more, while Lu Ran turned to look at the evil devil's corpse.

The Split Soul Devil Clan was quite powerful. Unfortunately, its temperament was far too impulsive and violent.

Once they went mad, Split Soul Devils preferred to solve everything with brute force rather than casting techniques.

Still, it could not be said that this Split Soul Devil had not used a technique. After all, "strength amplification" was one of its evil techniques.

At that thought, Lu Ran's heart stirred slightly.

Should he play it safe one more time?

While he was still in the Stream Realm, should he first activate a Split Soul Devil statue?

Then, once he reached the River Realm and confirmed that his mental strength was sufficient, he could activate Yanzhi Sister?

Thinking it over carefully, the evil techniques of the Split Soul Devil Sect really were quite good. A few of them were even rather similar to the Immortal Goat Divine Technique.

Could he perhaps pass the fake off as the real thing?

Mm, I should go back and discuss it with Immortal Sheep. I wonder whether the gods will agree.

After all, Immortal Sheep's idea was for Lu Ran to lie low.

The growth path it had provided Lu Ran was: strengthen his senses, improve his speed and agility, then bolster his defense...

The Split Soul Devil's evil techniques, on the other hand, leaned more toward offense.

"Little Lu Ran?"

"Here!" Lu Ran snapped back to his senses.

As Deng Yuxiang used a Divine Power Bead to absorb the evil devil's corpse, she said, "Go to that shop and tell your classmate to stay inside.

If there is a next time, expel her from school."

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

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

As expected of the girl Young Master Deng admired!

This girl-bro really had nerves of steel!

"Lu Ran!" Chang Ying immediately opened a crack in the window. Her expression was excited, and her eyes were filled with admiration. "That sister is so cool!"

Lu Ran nearly had his nose twisted crooked from anger.

What was she doing?

All the other citizens were spending the night in terror, while she was over here watching a show?

Chang Ying said, "And thank you too! Just now, when I heard a sheep bleat, I suddenly really wanted to bully you!"

Lu Ran said, "..."

Chang Ying's face was excited, and there were also traces of admiration in her gaze. "You used the sheep bleat to lure away that big black ox, didn't you?"

Chang Ying was different from the Moon Watcher. She was merely a Mist Realm rookie.

She did not need to have murderous intent toward Lu Ran for the Sound of Lamentation to affect her to some extent.

Back in Evil Dog Village, Lu Ran had nearly played Beauty Jiang of the Same Realm to the point of breaking down.

Lu Ran said solemnly, "That sister told me to tell you to stay in the inner room. Otherwise, you'll be expelled from school!"

Chang Ying froze, her mouth opening slightly.

Lu Ran's expression was rarely serious. "Did you understand?"

"Mm-hm, mm-hm!" Chang Ying nodded repeatedly, looking completely obedient.

"Get inside quickly. Stay beside the Lingqian God Statue. I'm leaving." Lu Ran had visited this place before, so he naturally knew the layout inside the Auto Repair Shop.

After hurriedly reminding her, he turned and left.

"Lu Ran!"

"Hm?" Lu Ran halted and looked back.

From the slightly opened window, a bottle of Wahaha was extended toward him. "Thank you. Share it among yourselves."

"Thanks, but no need." Lu Ran walked away, casually sweeping his blade sideways through a curtain of rain. "Just open your mouth and you'll have some."

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

See?

Who would be thirsty on a rainy day like this?

Great minds really do think alike. Damn it! That damned Deng Yutang stole my spot!

I'm going to challenge you one-on-one!

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

Chang Ying was imagining herself using her signature skill to gamble her way into a bright future, beating Deng Yutang black and blue to vent her anger.

But in the next second, panic suddenly gripped her heart. She felt as though a gaze had locked onto her.

Chang Ying turned her eyes and saw that beautiful, cool sister by the street staring at her coldly.

"Mom!"

Chang Ying spun around and ran. Along the way, she encountered her worried parents, who had come looking for her. She grabbed one in each hand and kept running...

At the same time, on the rain-soaked street.

The Moon Watcher team all looked south in unison, listening to instructions from their superiors through their Invisible Headphones.

"Move out. The wasteland!" A moment later, Sun Zhengfang gave the order with a grave expression.

"Yes!"

"Yes!" The five-person team charged directly southeast, rushing toward a desolate stretch of eerie darkness.

Leather boots struck the wet, muddy road, splashing blossoms of water.

Oversized raincoats snapped and fluttered amid the wind and rain.

Together with the rumbles and roars coming from all around the city, they wove a uniquely stirring battle anthem!

Lu Ran's team was special.

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

Then the Moon Watcher Patrol Team Lu Ran belonged to had only one focus:

Kill!
