Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 136: 123 A Touch of Cage Fire


The night breeze gently brushed by, accompanied by a drizzling rain.

A chaotic battlefield finally fell silent, yet the city itself was far from quiet, with booming noises everywhere.

"Pfft~"

The physical body of the Barbaric Woman silently shattered into mist.

Even the blood flowing on the ground transformed into wisps of green smoke.

Only a huge Dead Soul remained in place, slowly drifting towards Lu Ran's direction.

"Is everyone okay?" Sun Zhengfang hurriedly stepped forward, asking with concern, "Are either of you hurt?"

"I'm fine, what about Lu Ran?" Wei Long placed a hand on Lu Ran's shoulder, and, seeing no response, called out again, "Lu Ran?"

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple moved convulsively.

In his sight, the giant soul of the Barbaric Woman 'rolled' over Sun Zhengfang, as if it could crush the small body of this Human Clan member.

Her pupils still showed a blood-red hue, filled with intense killing intent.

Even in death, the tyrannical aura she emanated was enough to make Lu Ran's heart pound with fear!

"Hiss..."

The Barbaric Woman, with her fearsome face, held even more hatred towards the group after her tragic death.

She reached out a large hand, as if to grasp Lu Ran's head.

However, as her hand neared Lu Ran's face, it began to shrink and merge into his pupils.

"Got scared?" The woman in yellow floated down, taking large strides forward.

Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long stepped aside in time, overhearing Deng Yuxiang's soft call:

"Lu Ran?"

"Ah, sis!" Lu Ran blinked vigorously.

"Captain Sun was asking if you're hurt." Deng Yuxiang rested a hand on Lu Ran's shoulder, looking him up and down, "Got scared?"

Lu Ran shook his head unconsciously, then nodded slightly, "Just now... it was a bit perilous."

Everyone was still shaken, fear being the expected reaction.

Deng Yuxiang couldn't help but feel chills repeatedly, her mind full of images of Lu Ran narrowly navigating through the arcs of the Sandstone Axe.

"We'll take you home." Deng Yuxiang said in a deep voice.

"No!" Lu Ran decisively refused, "The physical bodies of the Barbaric Clan are strong, but their innate gifts are all focused on their bodies.

Their spiritual power is weaker than average, and they are by nature unruly.

Brother Long just told me, I have a great restraint over these Evil Demons!"

Deng Yuxiang lifted her eyes, giving Wei Long a sidelong glance.

Wei Long remained silent.

As comrades who shared life and death, Wei Long was willing to accommodate Deng Yuxiang, but he stood by his own judgment.

Lu Ran, was the bane of these "Berserkers"!

Wei Long pondered for a moment, then spoke again, "Lu Ran can greatly influence the Barbaric Woman.

Having him in our squad will allow us to carry out our missions better, and will ensure more comrades survive this battle."

The statement was indeed true.

Wouldn't Deng Yuxiang be aware that the spiritual strength of the Barbaric Clan was weaker than that of other beings at the same realm?

Lu Ran's Divine Technique·Desolate Sound was bound to be exceedingly effective against the Barbaric Clan.

But what would the outcome be?

Every time Lu Ran successfully drew the enemy's attention, the Barbaric Clan would aggressively counterattack at the first opportunity.

The recent battle had shown:

The physical brutality of the Barbaric Clan seemed to be muscle memory, reacting faster than their brains!

Lu Ran was only at the Stream Realm Fourth Rank, and to face such ferocious Evil Demons at this time was far too dangerous.

Wei Long looked at Deng Yuxiang and spoke again, "Don't let personal emotions affect rational judgment."

Deng Yuxiang's expression stiffened slightly.

Sun Zhengfang suddenly spoke out, "Since no one's injured, let's set off quickly. The Rain Alley residential area, that place is a disaster zone!"

The captain's order was given, and everyone immediately set off, setting aside the previous conversation.

In fact, Sun Zhengfang also had some hesitations.

The bureau had made it clear that depending on the situation tonight, they were prepared to send Lu Ran to the nearest shelter at any moment.

The race involved in this Night of Ghosts was indeed exceedingly dangerous.

The team could go find other squads and join forces with a colleague who had mental type skills to battle the enemy.

For instance, a Nuoshasha believer, a wild drum believer, a Caster believer, etc., all of them excellent at spiritual attacks!

It was evident how strong the Barbaric Clan was, but their weakness was equally prominent.

To combat such Evil Demons, one could start from the mental aspect and crush them!

In any case, Sun Zhengfang's central thought was: nothing must happen to Lu Ran!

This special young man had a future that inspired boundless imagination.

He would surely become a great power among the Human Clan, it was only a matter of time!

However, what all the team members, including Sun Zhengfang, did not know was...

Lu Ran was the very colleague they were looking for!

His spiritual power skills weren't limited to Divine Technique·Desolate Sound, but also included Evil Technique·Caged Fire!

In the battle just now, Deng Yuxiang had acted too quickly, and the storm mixed with rain had caused chaos on the battlefield.

Lu Ran hadn't managed to make eye contact with the Barbaric Woman.

When his mournful cry began, drawing the enemy's attention, what the Barbaric Woman threw at him wasn't her gaze, but her great axe...

"Something's wrong!" Deng Yuxiang suddenly spoke up, her face looking rather unsightly.

At a distant crossroad, piles of yellow sand accumulated, churning like waves.

"Don't cast Wind!" Lu Ran quickly spoke up.

His vision was clearer, and at the crossroad he saw darkness – the street lamps had long been shattered, buried somewhere unknown.

Amidst the surging yellow sand, Lu Ran faintly saw several broken human hands!

Were those... Moon Gazer's hands?

And in the center of the sand sea, atop a tall sand dune, stood a Barbaric Woman, proudly aloft!

With a cruel smile on her face, her blood-red eyes looked down from above.

The buried Moon Gazers below were clearly not dead yet, still struggling to crawl out.

But undercurrents surged in the sand sea, constantly burying and crushing the humans within.

"Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha..."

The Barbaric Woman laughed wantonly, tormenting the pitiful and weaker Human Clan members.

Even a thin stream of sand, carrying the most violently struggling Moon Gazer, pushed him towards the feet of the Barbaric Woman.

From the looks of it, she seemed to want to crush the prey with her own feet?

"Stop!"

Deng Yuxiang roared angrily, hurling a series of Wind Blades at rapid speed.

At the same time, she brandished the Night-slaying Great Saber, and lunged forward.

The cruelty of the scene made everyone's hearts tremble.

Indeed, Deng Yuxiang dared not use Divine Technique·Northern Wind Howl, as the whirlwind enhanced by the sand could actually shred her comrades involved in it!

"Hm?" The Barbaric Woman lifted her head, gazing into the far night sky.

Vaguely, she saw a figure flying towards her, and the Wind Blades rapidly approaching.

"Heh." The Barbaric Woman laughed disdainfully, as the sands churned beneath her feet.

A human head was unexpectedly pushed out by the sand, topping her war boots, and slowly lifted her foot off the ground.

People always say that the Barbaric Clan is arrogant and rampant.

At this moment, these two words became visually manifest.

There stood the Barbaric Woman, in the center of the sand sea, stepping on a Human Clan's head, raising her war axe high, waiting for Deng Yuxiang to come to battle.

"Ah!" Such a scene aroused intense anger in Deng Yuxiang.

And it also fueled a burning rage in Lu Ran!

He did not recognize the Moon Gazer being trampled, but that was Lu Ran's comrade, his fellow Human Clan member!

To others, the fate of the Moon Gazer under the Barbaric Woman's foot was uncertain.

But for Lu Ran, the other party was not dead yet.

Because no soul had burst forth!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The Wind Blades were the first to arrive, and the Barbaric Woman was ready, gripping the Sandstone Axe tightly in her hand.

"Maa~~~"

In that instant, a sudden bleating sound struck.

The Barbaric Woman's killing intent surged with a 'whoosh'!

Her blood-red eyes searched for the source of the sound, and she viciously threw her great axe.

A series of crisp sounds followed as the axe collided heavily with the Wind Blades.

Its ferocity was so great that it smashed through a series of wind knives, and the Sandstone Axe, still with undiminished momentum, continued to fly towards Lu Ran.

"Die!!"

Deng Yuxiang's tone was colder than ever before.

It was apparent—the sight of the Barbaric Woman stepping on a human head had insulted Deng Yuxiang!

Deng Yuxiang didn't even try to dodge.

She layered on herself the North Wind Divine Skill·Wind Shattering Armor, as well as a suit of water-flow armor.

She passed right by the Sandstone Axe, smashing several Wind Blades with her body, like a javelin piercing straight for the Barbaric Woman.

To Deng Yuxiang's astonishment...

She had tightly grasped the Night-slaying Great Saber, and was approaching the Barbaric Woman closely.

Yet, the Barbaric Woman in front of her was still swinging her axe towards Lu Ran's direction, followed by a bizarre grasp to the right side?

But there was nothing there—where was the enemy?

In the Barbaric Woman's vision, or rather, in her world, there was an enemy beside her.

And it was "Lu Ran" who had suddenly Instant Teleported there!

"Ssst!"

Deng Yuxiang swooped down from the night sky, brushing past the Barbaric Woman.

The Night-slaying Great Saber left a long gash, beheading the enemy instantly!

"Whoosh~"

The giant head of the Barbaric Woman soared high into the air.

Only the tall, headless body remained standing in the pile of sand, blood spraying luxuriantly from its neck.

"Hmph."

In the distant night sky, Lu Ran's eyes were cold and lifeless.

What everyone did not know was that a touch of Black Fire faintly burned in those dark and chilly eyes.

Black Lamp Evil Technique·Cage Fire (Illusion)!

After the Barbaric Woman was drawn in by the sheep's bleat and threw her war axe, her gaze naturally followed.

And it was at that moment that her vision began to flicker incessantly!

Lu Ran's pitch-black pupils finally met with those blood-red eyes!

The sheep's bleating dragged out, attracting the Barbaric Woman's attention.

She swung out another war axe, and the crazily switching scenes in front of her finally ceased to flicker, seemingly returning to normal.

But what wasn't normal was that the lamb, which had just been wailing in mid-air, could suddenly use Instant Teleportation Technique?

And furthermore, it dared to teleport right beside her?

You! Are! Tired! Of! Living!

The Barbaric Woman's features twisted, her hand reaching out, but passing through the illusion, grasping nothing.

At the same time, in the real world.

A sharp Night-slaying Great Saber sliced off the Barbaric Woman's head...

"Whoosh~"

Wei Long brought Lu Ran down solidly onto a sand pile.

The bones of the Barbaric Woman quietly shattered into mist.

Along with that, the yellow sands on the ground also turned into thick fog, quickly dissipating.

Only the four Moon Gazers, whose lives hung by a thread, bloodied and twisted, lay unconscious on the ground.

"Hang in there! Hang in there!"

The Wei brothers and Deng Yuxiang quickly went forward to help.

Sun Zhengfang immediately reached out with a wutong branch, taking the colleagues whose fates were in jeopardy.

Only Lu Ran stood quietly in place, watching the Dead Soul of the Barbaric Woman slowly approach.

Her hostility, as if wanting to crush Lu Ran, was still palpable!

But this time, Lu Ran was not panicked.

He simply looked on expressionlessly, coldly watching the Barbaric Woman.

The war axe of your clan shall one day be wielded for me to cleave through gods and demons.

At that time, do not lose this ferocity you possess today.

Your heavy war boots must also trample on their skulls...

"Whoosh~"

The massive Dead Soul of the Barbaric Woman shrank continuously, gradually merging into Lu Ran's eyes.
