"Thrilling~"

Lu Ran flicked his sleeves, feeling immensely satisfied in his heart.

He recalled the battle with the Ghost General while defending the city last month; it had been an evenly matched fight.

But look at the fight now!

It was simply a one-sided crushing!

With such combat power, he should be able to gain the approval of Lord Immortal Goat, right?

This pilgrimage, he definitely planned to venture to another world, to broaden his horizons!

Lu Ran thought to himself and slowly raised his palm.

In the spiritual world, the God Demon Sculpture Garden, Lu Ran was closely connected to the Night Charm Evil Sculpture.

"Hu~"

Streams of energy surged from Lu Ran's palm.

"Energy sculpts its body, Origin Energy builds its soul," Lu Ran murmured under his breath, casting the spell in unison with the Evil Sculpture's main body.

Under his palm, a figure slowly took shape.

The mysterious bamboo hat's black veil, the proud curves of a delicate body...

Evil Demon Clan·Night Charm!

And it was a Night Charm of River Realm·Fifth Rank.

In Lu Ran's Sculpture Garden, the Night Charm Evil Sculpture was of Stream Realm, capable of creating Night Charm minions of River Realm or below.

The last time at home, Lu Ran made a lowest-level Mist Realm·Night Charm to practice house chores.

Now in the Demon Cave, Lu Ran could let loose.

Within his capability, he sculpted the most powerful Servant.

Should we say or not say, the figure of this Night Charm...

Was insanely hot!

Are you testing the cadre's resolve?

"Causing mischief."

Lu Ran shook his head, casting away the messy thoughts.

Little Evil Demon, how dare you disturb my Dao heart!

It's all about adding the finishing touch.

He summoned the Origin Energy of the Night Charm Evil Sculpture, and with that, he painted the final, most important stroke on the tempting figure before him.

"Sss..."

The Night Charm was endowed with life and completely awakened, uttering a low guttural sound.

"Shut up!" Lu Ran extended two fingers, flicking the brim of the bamboo hat.

Making such a fuss?

Don't you know how alluring you are?

"Sss!" The Night Charm immediately drew her Night Charm Blade, her legs slightly bent.

Lu Ran was startled!

Was this a rebellion?

The Night Charm Clan was cruel and vicious, and of course, the Evil Demon's true nature couldn't change.

However, the scene of a servant slaying their master did not occur.

"Wuu?" The Night Charm suddenly realized that standing beside her was her master.

Her killing intent vanished, she faced Lu Ran and respectfully knelt down.

Lu Ran: "..."

The Night Charm must have just awakened and was hit, a conditioned reflex to slaughter, perhaps.

Lu Ran looked left and right, sizing up the docile and well-behaved Night Charm, before he satisfiedly nodded:

"That's more like it."

Since there was a language barrier between them, in the next few minutes, Lu Ran taught Night Charm some simple commands.

The Night Charm Clan was inherently intelligent, so picking up the instructions was rather smooth.

Lu Ran was even more pleased, and he lifted his hand and knocked on the bamboo hat:

"Let's go, to cricket fighting~"

Night Charm clearly couldn't understand what "cricket fighting" meant, but she understood to follow Lu Ran's lead.

Master and servant advanced deeper into the forest.

Soon, Lu Ran encountered another mound.

He pointed at it, the order simple and direct: "Kill."

Night Charm also lifted her hand, a string of Night Charm Blades stabbing into the soil mound.

"Ah ah ah!" A scream instantly came from the burial mound.

The next moment, thick black fog drifted out of the grave.

Night Charm had already reached out her slender hand, and energy surged within, unleashing a violent gale.

"Hu!!"

The Gale sprung up, smoke cleared, and fog scattered!

The poor Ghost General died a rather suffocated death.

Lu Ran: "..."

What happened to the cricket fighting?

Do the Night Charm Clan really have a strong advantage over the Ghost General Clan?

Noticing her master's gaze, Night Charm turned towards Lu Ran, slightly lowering her gaze in a docile and well-behaved manner.

Lu Ran had no choice but to pat her on the shoulder, praising: "Well done."

One couldn't complain about a servant being too strong!

Lu Ran opened his Pupil of the Dead World, tracking the Ghost General's Dead Soul, and moved forward.

The powerful Night Charm followed Lu Ran closely, and the Night Charm Blades that were thrown out earlier, two of them returned, landing respectively in Night Charm's left and right hands.

A few minutes later, master and servant finally encountered a "not yet buried" Ghost General.

"Go," ordered Lu Ran.

"Sss!" Night Charm's long legs took her swiftly forward.

The Ghost General proudly stood firm, immediately raising a large black flag.

In the world of humans, it was highly unlikely for the Evil Demon Clan to attack one another.

After all, everyone is busy,

busy devouring humans, busy torturing humans.

But now?

Night Charm, filled with killing intent, made it clear she came for battle, so why would the Ghost General recoil?

"Sss!" Night Charm, holding dual blades, dragged long cuts through the air!

"Crack!!"

Night Charm brushed past the Ghost General; flag and man alike, all chopped down mercilessly to the ground!

Lu Ran: "..."

Is it really so difficult to have a cricket fight?

"Hu~"

Night Charm slid backward, stopping perfectly by Lu Ran's side.

The mystic black veil flapped gently, and behind the veil, lay an exceptionally beautiful face, looking docile.

This backward slide left Lu Ran stunned!

Hold on!

Isn't this too much like me?

Well... it makes sense when you think about it. This Night Charm had been crafted by both Lu Ran and the Evil Sculpture.

While the Night Charm was indeed a continuation of the Evil Sculpture line, she also inherited certain aspects of Lu Ran.

Lu Ran sighed inwardly, watching the Ghost General severed at the waist. He stepped forward quickly, absorbing the Dead Soul into his pupils.

Through the Dead Soul, Lu Ran sensed that this was a Ghost General of Stream Realm.

You set a Night Charm at the peak of River Realm against a minor minion of Stream Realm; wouldn't it be one slash per ghost...

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Lu Ran's expression turned a bit odd.

Keep in mind, the Ghost General Evil Technique·Ghost Fog Body was suitable for use at River Realm·Third Rank.

Meaning, the weaker Ghost Generals would be cut down by Night Charm in one strike.

And the powerful Ghost Generals would be blown away by Night Charm's gales in one move.

"What a guy~" Lu Ran laughed, shaking his head.

Looks like there's no hope for the cricket fight.

"Let's go." Lu Ran summoned the Divine Power Pearl, absorbed energy, and gestured to Night Charm.

Once Lu Ran stopped obsessing over the cricket fight, his heart became increasingly delighted.

He had often fantasized about waging wars north and south with powerful Evil Demon servants by his side.

Now, Night Charm fulfilled all of Lu Ran's fantasies!

Powerful in combat and utterly loyal.

"Don't idle while we're on the move," instructed Lu Ran. "Keep absorbing energy."

Night Charm looked at Lu Ran, her puzzled face visible behind the black veil: "Wuu?"

Clearly, she did not understand what Lu Ran was saying.

Taking advantage of their journey, Lu Ran taught her, both verbally and by example, to absorb energy from the heavens and the earth.

Night Charm caught on quickly, endearing herself to Lu Ran even more.

But soon after, Lu Ran felt somewhat troubled.

After all, once his training was complete and he returned to Earth, he would have to dispose of this Night Charm.

Next time he made a Night Charm, Lu Ran would have to teach her all over again.

"Ah..." Lu Ran felt a bit vexed.

If only there was a Magic Artifact like a Storage Bag or a Space Ring, he could throw Night Charm in it and just take her out when needed.

Lu Ran frowned in deep thought, not knowing how long he walked until he suddenly halted.

Night Charm immediately stopped, her body tensed, sensing everything around.

"Sniff~"

Lu Ran sniffed, sensing an intense Ghost Energy.

"This way." Lu Ran walked on a cushion of wind as if ascending invisible steps upward.

Night Charm, emulating perfectly, also summoned Vermilion Paper Evil Technique·Night Dance, following Lu Ran as they rose to the sky.

Master and servant crossed the cliff, and Lu Ran looked out into the distance.

In the midst of the lush forest lay an area where no vegetation grew.

"A cemetery?" Lu Ran's eyes brightened.

All along the way, he had seen solitary mounds, but now in front, there was a collection of mounds.

A quick count revealed nearly 30 mounds!

Wasn't this like hitting the jackpot?

It was as if he had found the Ghost General Clan's communal dwelling!

"Go, kill!" Lu Ran excitedly pointed towards the cemetery.

Time for the cricket fight, finally!

"Sss!" Night Charm immediately advanced on the offensive.

Eight Night Charm Blades paved the way, stabbing into mound after mound.

"Ah!!"

"Ha!!" From each mound, monstrous hands reached out.

Ghost Generals crawled out one by one, creating a chilling scene.

Others became misty apparitions, wafting out of the soil.

Under normal circumstances, these powerful Ghost Generals would have debuted impressively!

Too bad for them, they crossed paths with the wind-playing Night Charm Clan.

As soon as Night Charm entered, she dispersed as many as three powerful Ghost Generals.

"Tsk tsk~"

Lu Ran stood behind a large tree, only half his face showing, as he watched the nearby battlefield.

What is careless killing?

The Night Charm of River Realm·Fifth Rank rampaged like a tiger among sheep, leaving long slashes amidst the Ghost Generals.

"She's fierce." With his hands naturally hanging down, Lu Ran produced a small Paper Mache Man.

His gaze locked onto a Ghost General and the small paper man in his hand connected tightly with it.

But in the next moment, the connection was broken!

As we all know, Vermilion Paper Evil Technique·Paper Mache involves the spiritual realm.

The stronger the caster's psychic power, the tighter the bond between the Paper Mache Man and its target.

However, the Ghost General Clan possesses Spirit Defense Techniques!

Lu Ran and his Paper Mache Man were unable to bind a Ghost General!

"Cut~" Lu Ran pursed his lips, not discouraged in the least, quickly shifting his target.

There were so many Ghost Generals!

Even if they were mentally capable, if there were enough numbers, surely a few poor students would be mixed in, right?

After a series of attempts, Lu Ran finally found one!

"Hmm?" The Ghost General, holding the Yanyue Blade, suddenly felt his body becoming heavy.

His expression solemn, he tried to retreat from the fray, only to sense an enormous force crushing down on his body.

"General, are your skills lacking?" Lu Ran's mouth curved into a slight smile.

Behind the big tree, half of Lu Ran's face emerged, holding a Paper Mache Man in his hand.

His palm slowly closed in, bit by bit, compressing it.

"Ah! Ah ah!" On the battlefield, the Ghost General cried out in terror.

As if a giant hand had gripped and clenched his body, invisible yet potent.

Struggling under the weight, the Ghost General fought to swing his blade, aiming to cut the invisible grip.

"Die."

Lu Ran spoke a single word cold, harsh.

His hand compressed the Paper Mache Man, squeezing it into a lump.

The Ghost General on the field could no longer wield his blade.

"Ah! Ah ah ah!" The Ghost General screamed miserably.

His arms twisted, his legs bent inch by inch, his waist about to snap...

"Thud!"

The Ghost General collapsed onto the ground.

The sound of bones cracking was painfully audible.

His limbs still entwined, his robust body finally crumpled into a ball.

Blood flowed from his mouth, his crimson eyes quietly extinguished.

Behind the tree, Lu Ran opened his palms.

The once Paper Mache Man was now a crumpled paper ball.

Lu Ran murmured to himself: "Vermilion Paper, oh Vermilion Paper, you have cruel methods..."

Now tell me,

Can those Stone Sculptures be crushed too?
