"Lu Ran!"

Jiang Ruyi floated down, half-kneeling beside Lu Ran, supporting his arm with one hand.

"Ugh." Lu Ran grinned painfully, kneeling on the ground, feeling as if his body was falling apart.

What a mighty Evil Demon·Tangled Silk Shadow!

What a formidable Evil Technique·Silk Tether!

So powerful indeed.

As a member of the Human Clan, Lu Ran naturally did not wish to see the Evil Demons grow too strong.

However, as the "owner" of the God Demon Sculpture Garden, the stronger Tangled Silk Shadow's power, the stronger Lu Ran's servants would be.

And in the future, the power of Ran Sect would grow stronger!

Another point made Lu Ran inwardly sigh with regret.

That Tether Silk Robe was too heavy; wearing it would severely hinder Lu Ran's speed.

Until this day, Lu Ran's style of fighting had been set in stone—speed was the core.

Once he donned the Tether Silk Robe, it would be like destroying his own foundations.

The more he thought about it, the more Lu Ran felt a pang of regret.

Who wouldn't want to wear that bright red gown and strut around impressively?

Indeed, there were only zero and countless times when it came to cross-dressing.

Since wearing the Night Charm Robe, Lu Ran no longer cared about wearing such a feminine, revealing red dress...

As long as it could enhance his combat strength, that was what mattered!

Who cares what I'm wearing~

"Are you okay?"

The girl's soft voice carried a hint of distress as she looked at him.

"Little Lu." Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long also rushed over, "Where are you hurt?"

"I'm not hurt," Lu Ran reached for the camera nearby, muttering, "it just hurts a bit."

His murmured words, mixed with the pitter-patter of the rain, drifted into thousands of households.

The listeners found it both amusing and distressing.

Such words, should they be coming from a Heavenly Pride?

Other students participating in the battle were all trying their hardest to show their robust and resolute sides.

Yet from Lu Ran's mouth here comes a "it hurts a bit"?

Had Lu Ran spoken such words earlier, he probably would have been criticized to pieces!

After all, he was one of the hundred carefully selected by Da Xia, which meant, in some sense, he represented the face of Da Xia.

But just before Lu Ran said this, he had just blazed a trail through Ghost Gate and forcefully brought back a comrade!

In the streaming channel, the barrage of comments came in waves, yet few had anything negative to say about Lu Ran.

Instead, there was more emotion and praise.

"Ran Shen is so genuine! Never pretends!"

"He's crying out in pain, but when storming King Yan's palace, didn't seem to flinch, did he?"

"Looks like Tangled Silk Shadow is much stronger than Night Charm, seeing how badly the kid got beaten, bleating so loudly."

"Saving someone and killing an enemy aren't the same level of difficulty; how many controlled by Tangled Silk Shadow can survive?"

"That's true! The Red Scarf Believer purely got lucky."

"Watching the livestream while kicking my Immortal Sheep Believer husband, he keeps kneeling and crying, not daring to fight back, not a backbone in sight, it's infuriating!"

"Lu Ran is a being worthy of Yan Zhi's respect! He condescended to join the Immortal Goat Sect, can he be compared with other useless people?"

"A few more Heavenly Prides and Da Xia's divine rankings are about to change..."

Just as Lu Ran was fitting the camera properly, a wave of energy fluctuation suddenly came from above.

The closeness of the distance made the teammates aware of it too.

The group tensed, only to see a string of Da Xia characters emerge within the pulsating energy.

Moon?

One by one, the characters for "moon" glowed with a pearly light, like the bright moonlight.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except for Sun Zhengfang, they all stepped back to allow the string of "moon" characters to form a circle, enveloping Lu Ran.

Caster Divine Skill·Moonlight Spell!

This skill was extraordinary, injecting vitality into the target, speeding up the healing of wounds.

"Thank you, thank you all..."

The Caster Believer approached from a distance, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with emotion.

Sun Zhengfang placed his hand on Lu Ran, his palm emanating a gentle green light, meticulously examining Lu Ran's body:

"Take the two teammates with you; we'll send you to the nearest shelter."

"Captain Sun!" A Biwu Believer rushed over, releasing a dense mass of branches, wrapping around the unconscious Nuoshasha Believer and Red Scarf Believer.

As Moon Gazers from Rain Alley City, they naturally recognized the higher-ups from Yunshan City.

And their gazes once again fell on Lu Ran.

Gratitude, admiration, relief, fear...

It was hard to imagine such complex and full emotions on one person's face.

Just think, before the patrolling team arrived, how desperate these people's hearts must have been.

Perhaps, they were on the verge of mental breakdown, tormented by Evil Demon·Tangled Silk Shadow...

"Fortune follows after a great disaster," Lu Ran looked towards the two and said solemnly.

"Yes, yes." The female Caster Believer nodded vigorously, covering her eyes with one hand, already sobbing uncontrollably.

A simple sentence, but it triggered a complete emotional outburst in the woman.

People didn't know that this Caster female Believer and the Red Scarf Believer were a couple.

Hot tears overflowed through her fingers, the middle-aged woman like a fragile child at the moment.

"No time to waste!" Sun Zhengfang withdrew his hand and commanded, "Let's go!"

As the command was given, the six-person group, carrying two unconscious casualties, sprang into action.

On the way, Sun Zhengfang spoke seriously, "We need to change our tactics!"

Everyone perked up, listening attentively.

Sun Zhengfang rapidly said, "Lu and Jiang, you two have Divine Weapons, we need to make good use of this advantage.

Let your Divine Weapons fly high, keep them in the air, giving them enough distance to charge."

"Yes!"

"Yes," Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi responded simultaneously.

Sun Zhengfang continued: "Next time we encounter Tangled Silk Shadow, I'll immediately summon the Biwu tree, releasing as many branches as possible.

Use lots of branches to pull the enemy's red silk threads, creating the main battlefield. Wei Long!"

"Present!"

"As soon as the main battlefield opens, cut in from behind Tangled Silk Shadow! Initiate Divine Technique·Blood Sea Chaos straightaway and strip her of her dress!"

"Yes!"

"You two seize the opportunity, control the Divine Weapons to finish off Tangled Silk Shadow," Sun Zhengfang looked towards Lu and Jiang again.

One after another, the orders were given precisely.

Sun Zhengfang demonstrated the quality of a qualified warrior, and after two battles, based on team members' capabilities, he devised a battle plan.

Within this plan, Wei Long played a critical role.

Sun Zhengfang thought to himself: If only Wei Long had movement techniques like Lu Ran's, naturally, he would be able to penetrate the red silk array more swiftly, and the success rate would be higher.

But you can't have your cake and eat it, can you?

As an Immortal Sheep believer, Lu Ran didn't possess soft control techniques like "Blood Sea Chaos"...

Jiang Ruyi suddenly spoke up: "I can keep outputting.

From another position, draw away the red silk threads, reducing the pressure on Wei."

Lu Ran added: "I'll go call out to ensure Tangled Silk Shadow's attention is all on me."

The effective defense distance of the Evil Technique·Silk Tether was 30 meters, but the attack distance of the Evil Technique·Silk Thread was far beyond 30 meters!

Lu Ran had just witnessed the pitiful state of the Red Scarf Believer, entangled by the red silk threads and controlled by the Evil Demon.

He couldn't let that happen to Wei Long.

"Alright!" The moment Sun Zhengfang finished speaking, a flute sound was heard.

The melodious flute sound was grating to their ears.

For a moment, everyone's complexion changed.

Lu Ran's expression was especially hard to look at; there was undoubtedly a Jade Flute Believer nearby.

In the battlefield, the last thing Lu Ran wanted was to encounter such comrades!

Six-class God·Jade Flute, the sculpture depicted a man in a white robe, with elegant demeanor and gentle temperament.

As a Stone Sculpture, he held a stone flute.

But through the divine shadow and self-proclaimed name, people knew that the flute was made of an unknown white jade.

The Jade Flute faction was not skilled in offense, known instead for their support abilities.

This ear-piercing flute sound, barely an offensive technique, could disturb one's mind, even causing mental illusions.

To pressure the Jade Flute Believer to such an extent, was ample evidence of the life-and-death moment being experienced!

After all, the sound of the flute didn't distinguish between friend and foe!

In other words, either the Jade Flute Believer didn't care about his teammates' lives and deaths, or that group of Moon Gazers, except for the Jade Flute Believer, had all been killed in action!

Both scenarios were sufficient to plunge everyone's hearts into despair.

"Hmm..."

At a crossroads, a woman in a red dress gently rubbed her wet hair, with a slight frown and a light nasal sound emitting.

Her every move carried a bewitching charm.

The frown only seemed to make her more endearing.

The flute sound, it seemed, had affected her somewhat.

But it didn't stop her from moving forward!

Just tens of meters ahead of her, a Moon Gazer held a phantom flute, a look of sorrow on his face as he continued to blow into it.

"Thump!"

Tangled Silk Shadow's feet landed on the wet asphalt, her footsteps dull due to the weight of the long red gown.

Suddenly, the floating red threads in the sky fell silently.

Her feet were covered by the long skirt, but her steps became soundless once more.

Tangled Silk Shadow had disengaged the Evil Technique·Silk Tether.

Her attire seemed unchanged, but that torn and tattered long gown was now a mere ordinary garment, no longer heavy.

Just like the Night Charm Evil Skill·Night Charm Robe.

Before your blade can land on Night Charm's body, it's difficult to tell with the naked eye whether Night Charm has used the Evil Technique·Night Charm Robe.

Whether Night Charm or Tangled Silk Shadow, their appearances were naturally so.

"Hmm~"

The piercing flute sound gave Tangled Silk Shadow an unbearable headache.

She opened her eyes sharply, her red pupils glaring fiercely at the Human Clan ahead...

"Whoosh!!"

Tangled Silk Shadow lunged forward, light and graceful.

With a forward stretch of her hand, five thin red threads shot out from her fingertips, targeted at the Jade Flute Believer!

The speed of the Evil Demon·Tangled Silk Shadow wasn't slow by itself, the only limitation was that Tether Silk Robe.

The Jade Flute Believer suddenly widened his eyes, and the flute sound abruptly stopped!

While the sinister shadow and silk threads had yet to reach him, her gaze, emanating a faint glow from her red eyes, had already intertwined with that of the Jade Flute Believer's gaze in a fleeting moment.

Evil Technique·Silk Pupil!

An evil technique that could drag people into the world of illusions, a powerful skill that could torment and ravage people's minds.

Indeed, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they can be.

Such a charming woman was deadly all over, a touch meant death!

The Jade Flute Believer didn't even have the chance to flee, immediately being frozen in place, his complexion stiff and ashen.

Tangled Silk Shadow's lips curled up in a cruel smile.

"Bleat!!!!"

"Huh?" Tangled Silk Shadow turned her head abruptly, spotting the swiftly arriving Human Clan.

Lu Ran's face was ashen as he looked at the crossroad where three twisted corpses lay.

Among them, a headless body lay desolate, fresh blood still oozing from the severed neck.

To add insult to injury, a piece of broken talisman floated above the headless corpse.

Even in death, the talisman did not dissipate...

Two other bodies were entangled with each other, as if they had killed each other.

"Kill!" Sun Zhengfang cried out in shock and rage.

"Sss—"

Lu Ran was consumed with anger, mist swirling around his feet!

He clutched the Silent Night Blade tightly and charged forward:

"Bleat!!!"
