The Cold Night Sword also, upon its master's command, was fixed in the night sky and dared not strike at the Night Charm.

Because Lu Ran and the Night Charm were simply too fast!

Once the Cold Night Sword made its move, it was very likely to cause accidental injury, and would inevitably disrupt Lu Ran's rhythm.

The renowned Night Charm Clan was known for their swiftness.

And Lu Ran, this little lamb, was no exception!

At the moment when a person and a charm clashed at close quarters, it seemed as though everyone froze.

Sun Zhengfang, Wei Long, Jiang Ruyi, as well as the Moon Gazer team that had regrouped by the lake, all watched intently at the two figures entangled on the stone-paved road.

The expressions of the crowd changed wave after wave as if they had forgotten to breathe.

And under the gaze of countless cameras, the common folk from all over Da Xia witnessed a summit duel with their own eyes!

A pinnacle confrontation of movement technique and blade technique!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!"

"Going for a close-quarters kill?!"

"Ah??"

"I've been battling for thirty years, slaughtered for a lifetime! I've never gotten this close to a Night Charm!"

"Going to die, going to die, going to die... Ah! Did a blade just fly past my face just now?"

"A blade? Eight blades, okay! Switch to the team captain's camera angle, look at that perspective!"

"Shocked..."

In the first-person view, the black veil of the Night Charm fluttered, slashing horizontally with the blade, aiming at the myriads of Da Xia's people.

"Ding~"

The Silent Night Blade flicked upward diagonally, warding off the Night Charm's offensive.

After succeeding, Lu Ran withdrew instead of advancing!

His Evil Technique·Evil Recognition was already pushed to the limit, listening attentively in all directions, suddenly arching his upper body backward.

"Whoosh~"

A sharp Night Charm Blade, with a terrifying whooshing sound, once again stabbed past Lu Ran's face.

Likewise, it also flew past the faces of innumerable Da Xia commoners.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Ran suddenly jerked his head to the side as another Night Charm Blade came stabbing from behind at an angle, grazing his ear and heading into the night sky.

Lu Ran naturally had been prepared for such attacks.

But the legions of viewers in front of the screen were drenched in a cold sweat.

The intensity of this battle was just too overwhelming for the average person.

Such repeated brushes with death were an experience hard to come by when watching other competitors.

Sword One Believer, directing flying swords chaotically through the air, was like a precision killing machine.

Martial Artist Believer, with a flag swirling behind, unleashed a mix of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, bombarding the Evil Demon mercilessly.

Each of the potent divine Believers used everything at their disposal, displaying their powerful grandeur and casting terrifying Divine Techniques.

And the Follower of Nine-level God·Immortal Sheep...

Knife fighting, close-quarters killing!

The Immortal Sheep Believer, known for their weakness and cowardice, showed intense bravery before the world!

They also demonstrated incredibly formidable skills!

Watching the battle from Sun Zhengfang's perspective, people were dumbstruck.

A good six or seven Night Charm Blades, like butterflies, intertwined around the person and the charm, fluttering gracefully.

Each blade, much swifter than a butterfly, was emitting a fearsome blade light, stabbing wildly!

Within the maelstrom of flying blades,

the Night Charm's offensive was vicious and poisonous, her silhouette elusive.

Lu Ran's offensive was swift and fierce, darting left and right, with slick maneuvers!

This person and this demon, one faster than the other!

One more ruthless than the other!

"What...what is this?"

"So many blades, so many, many blades..."

"Pure craziness, damn it!"

"It's a fight to the death, they really don't care about their lives..."

"Kill! Kill! Kill kill kill!!"

Suddenly, a piercing sound resonated throughout the live streaming room.

"Snap!!"

The Dawn Blade, with its dazzling rosy clouds, sliced across the Night Charm's waist in an instant.

The River Grade·Night Charm Robe was torn apart instantly!

Where the blade tip passed, a streak of blood was left behind.

What Lu Ran held in his hand was a Divine Weapon, not to mention he also wielded the Evil Technique·Soul Splitting Power!

With such a horrifying force combined, coupled with a divine sharp weapon, how could the Night Charm Robe resist?

"Hiss!"

The Night Charm let out a wretched scream, abruptly retreating backwards.

"Sss—"

Lu Ran's feet swirled with a mist, his eyes already turned into horizontal pupils.

Within those somber eyes of Dead Sheep Eyes, there lurked a faint black fire.

Black Lamp Evil Technique·Cage Fire (Yin)!

This Evil Technique, a single-target control tactic, could cause the target's movements to slow, or even freeze in place.

Lu Ran's family's tabby cat had been frozen countless times...

But this Night Charm in front of him, Lu Ran couldn't possibly freeze her.

After all, the Night Charm was of the River Realm, and even had a higher realm than Lu Ran in her small bracket.

Indeed, Lu Ran couldn't even slow down the Night Charm's movements.

But in a fight of such intensity between a person and a charm, even a slight impact on the Night Charm was fatal!

"Hoof~"

Against everyone's expectations, Lu Ran, seemingly poised to kill his enemy, suddenly halted his forward rush and concurrently lifted his right elbow.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

Two Night Charm Blades crossed in front of Lu Ran, and another Night Charm Blade stabbed past from under his arm.

"Sss—"

The on-site Moon Gazers were dumbfounded, so much so that they couldn't even interject a warning, let alone join the fight.

Lu Ran halted abruptly and then stabbed forward again!

"Hiss!" The Night Charm let out a cry of alarm.

Danger!

An extremely intense sense of peril!

The Night Charm's heart throbbed violently, and instinctively, she unleashed the Evil Technique·Night Charm Shadow.

"Buzz~"

In a split second, the Night Charm divided into three.

Lu Ran instantly pierced the target, but the demonic body that was impaled by the blade shattered into mist.

He immediately turned around, halting his sliding momentum, sprinting rapidly toward the front-right:

"Me~~~"

Divine Technique·Desolate Sound!

The two remaining Night Charms, instantly affected, rushed forward rapidly.

Lu Ran's left-handed Dawn Blade flicked to the front-left, and the Silent Night Blade in his right hand went straight for the front-right Night Charm.

"Thud~"

The Dawn Blade struck, and another Night Charm shattered.

The sole remaining Night Charm suddenly dragged out a long slash with her blade!

"Be careful!"

"Lu Ran!"

"Watch out for the blade trail..." A series of concerned voices rose.

But Lu Ran had no reaction at all, still pushing forward aggressively.

The scene before him, he had already seen countless times at the Night Charm Demon Cave·Crescent Lake.

Lu Ran knew what the Night Charm would do.

When his blade, Guan Yiren's sword, and Niu Zhengzheng's great axe struck the Night Charm time after time...

Every single Night Charm made alarmingly similar choices!

Think about it, they were all created by the Night Charm's original molding, so of course, their combat thought process was handed down.

The person and the charm got infinitely close, each brandishing a blade.

Was it a fight to determine victor and loser, or to decide life and death?

No!

"Buzz~"

As expected, the Night Charm's figure trembled again, dividing into three.

The experienced Lu Ran made a choice that common people would find hard to accept.

In the moment when they were face to face, Lu Ran halted his advance and didn't even attack the Night Charm in front of him.

Lu Ran turned around directly!

Ignoring the two Night Charms to his rear, he went straight for the one on the right!

Lu Ran admitted, there was a gamble.

But out of ten times, the original body of the Night Charm would appear here seven times, instead of the other one.

This was a prediction.

It was also a judgment made based on experience, earned through real sword and ax fights!

"Me!!!"

Lu Ran opened those pair of grim Dead Sheep Eyes wide, exerting the Evil Technique·Cage Fire with all his might, and his Silent Night Blade went from bottom to top.

Lifting the veil, piercing the head, as natural as the flow of the clouds and water.

"Sss!"

The sharp blade instantly penetrated the Night Charm's brow.

"Thud~ Thud~"

The two Night Charm clones, quietly shattered.

They were clones, not substitutes.

Even if they were substitutes, if the original body received a fatal wound, it wouldn't make a difference...

Just as previously in Evil Dog Village, if the River Realm Evil Dog had bitten anything other than crow wings, like the torso, the team leader Zhou Tian would have been torn to pieces.

Having the Substitute Technique meant nothing when there was nowhere left to maneuver.

"Until next time."

Lu Ran whispered softly, pulling out his blade and stepping back.

Dots of blood beads dripped down along the blade.

By the lake, there was silence.

Only the night rain pattered gently.

"Thud~"

The Night Charm dissolved into the mist.

Lu Ran lifted the Divine Power Pearl hanging around his neck, slightly tilting his head back, absorbing the fog.

Naturally, the first-person view was covered by the mist, and another layer of comments streamed across it:

"Until next time? How'd he end up chatting with the Night Charm?"

"Tough! A real man! Damn tough!"

"This close combat, this passion! How can this be an Immortal Sheep Believer? I don't believe it!"

"Did we win? I didn't dare to watch, is Lu Ran okay?"

"No wonder at 18, still in high school, he could rank among Da Xia's hundred Heavenly Prides! What kind of monster is this..."

"What! Cry out! That's what you call Heavenly Pride!!"
