The cold wind howled.

It chilled Leng Jin to the bone.

She tightly pursed her lips, flying silently backward, but didn't dare to leave because Dongfang Ning hadn't spoken.

And Dongfang Ning...

Was completely enraged!

"Whoosh!!"

Five illusory sword shadows flew out from her body, quickly transforming into long frosty swords, suspended around her.

"Senior Dongfang?" Leng Jin looked utterly incredulous.

"You..." Lu Ran felt a sudden chill in his heart upon witnessing this scene.

This woman was courting death?

As everyone knows, each Divine Sect typically bestows six techniques.

However, third-class or higher deities might grant a seventh Divine Technique to their followers, known as the "River Realm Big Move."

In reality, these big moves aren't limited to just this!

Some believers receive compatible Divine Techniques upon advancing to the Sea Realm!

However, those are owned only by first and second-class Divine Sects.

At this moment, five long frosty swords were suspended around Dongfang Ning, clearly indicating the Sea Realm Technique of the Sword One One Sect: Frost Sky Sword Fall!

This was truly an ultimate move capable of destroying heaven and earth!

Among the five long swords, inexhaustible frost energy was released, coalescing into countless frosty long swords, forming an ice sword cascade to smash everything.

And once this technique was activated, it couldn't be stopped voluntarily.

Only when the caster completely depleted their energy and Divine Power could it cease.

"Senior, please think carefully!" Lu Ran shouted loudly with an unpleasant expression, "I can instantly teleport away, this technique can't harm me!

If you insist on activating Frost Sky Sword Fall, once you're exhausted, it will be your death."

Dongfang Ning stared icily at Lu Ran, her inner fury seemingly about to fill the entire sky and earth.

She coldly exclaimed, "Oh really? If you're afraid to die, then get lost quickly!"

Lu Ran's eyes darkened: "Senior, think twice!"

Dongfang Ning reached downwards, creating massive waves of energy as she shouted fiercely, "Aren't you fighting to death just to protect your comrades in the mountains?

Listen carefully!

Today, your companions will not advance! They'll be stuck at this stage forever!"

Lu Ran: !!!

This woman... really was insane!

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Applause suddenly erupted, completely out of place in the tense atmosphere.

Dongfang Ning turned her head with an unpleasant expression.

From the side of the peak, a tall figure soared up.

He wore a flowing white robe, and his jet-black hair swirled in the cold wind; his face was extraordinarily beautiful, almost genderless.

"Young friend, what a spectacle!"

Yu Changsheng smiled subtly, holding a paper fan, elegantly landing.

Lu Ran's face lit up: "Mr. Yu?"

He had sensed someone approaching and expected them to reap the benefits without any effort.

Unexpectedly, this person chose to show themselves.

Even more surprising, it was the bath-loving Master Yu?

"Yu Changsheng?" Leng Jin frowned deeply.

This Dragon Carp believer was well-known within the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Although powerful in the Sea Realm, he rarely turned a sword against the Human Clan.

Out of kindness, Yu Changsheng had saved many from the clutches of Evil Demons.

However, it had been ages since anyone heard of Yu Changsheng saving lives.

Perhaps he had been betrayed too often and his heart broken?

Though no longer rescuing or aiding, Yu Changsheng didn't hunt either; instead, he practiced daily, seemingly indifferent to the competition for the Holy Spirit Energy.

This individual was perpetually out of sync with the world around him.

All the great powers within the Holy Spirit Mountain sought to recruit this great Sea Realm healer.

But Yu Changsheng ignored everyone, and his strength was unparalleled.

The Dragon Carp Followers' craftsmanship in slipping away was absolutely top-notch, completely ungraspable...

Thus, Yu Changsheng gradually became an extraordinarily unique presence within the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Apart from the overly bold, no one dared provoke him; instead, they preferred to befriend him.

"Mr. Yu appearing here, what is your intention?" Dongfang Ning's voice was abnormally icy.

At this moment, the Sword Cascade had not yet surged out, and Dongfang Ning still had a chance to stop the casting.

But the five frosty long swords still suspended around her were incredibly intimidating!

Yu Changsheng laughed heartily and said, "I have past ties with this young friend..."

The rage in Dongfang Ning's heart was almost uncontrollable, her visage even somewhat twisted: "Past ties? He's an Evil Dog Follower!"

Yu Changsheng glanced at Lu Ran, his smile growing ever more mysterious.

Lu Ran: "..."

A few days ago, he even declared his noble Immortal Sheep Believer status to Yu Changsheng.

Even bleating like a sheep~

Yu Changsheng adopted a reminiscent demeanor: "Such reckless disregard for his own life, willing to challenge the Sea Realm might to protect his comrades, truly admirable!

Worthy of song and tears, worthy of song indeed!"

Upon saying this, Yu Changsheng looked at Dongfang Ning: "So what if he's an Evil Dog; though not bright, at least he's loyal.

Dogs are man's best friends after all~"

Lu Ran: ???

The fury within Dongfang Ning surged even more fiercely: "Yu Changsheng! Do you really think I can't kill you?"

Though Yu Changsheng once saved a Sword One Disciple's life, this so-called affection meant nothing to Dongfang Ning; she simply didn't acknowledge it.

Within the realm of the Holy Spirit Mountain, was there truly so much righteousness?

Yu Changsheng gently waved his paper fan, looking helplessly at Lu Ran: "Young friend, you're truly something? Managed to anger the cool Sword One Disciple to this extent."

Even in peril, Dongfang Ning was determined to disrupt advancements of those within the mountain?

What kind of grudge could warrant this?

Indeed, how bold Lu Ran was!

Always he mouthed words of surrender, while committing audacious deeds!

At this moment, the once dignified Sea Realm expert, Dongfang Ning, had no face left to speak of.

Two Sword One Disciples had fallen one after another, like slaps to the face of a mighty Sea Realm expert.

Painful, burning slaps!

"Die!!" Dongfang Ning let out a fierce cry, and from the five frosty swords around her, endless cold frost was released.

The dense aura combined into countless long frosty swords, surging towards the snow-capped summits.

Five "Frost Sword Torrents" converged, forming a grand waterfall!

The frosty swords gushed ceaselessly, incredibly fast, overwhelmingly majestic.

Sending shivers down one's spine!

Sea Realm Technique·Frost Sky Sword Fall!

"Damn!" Lu Ran's face turned extremely grim.

This woman truly couldn't care less for her life!

He must take Deng Yuxiang with him, regardless of her advancement... huh?

"Pop~"

The sound of fish blowing bubbles echoed through the heavens and the earth.

An immensely giant Dragon Carp appeared, covering the sky, swimming up towards the grand Sword Cascade!

Yu Changsheng took action!

Sea Grade·Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat!

Instantly, the sound of sword tips striking the head of the Dragon Carp was endless.

The torrent within the Sword Cascade flowed rapidly, countless frosty long swords shot with incredible speed, fiercely impacting the giant Dragon Carp.

Lu Ran did not believe that his Divine Weapon Domain could withstand the impact of the Sword Cascade.

Even ordinary Flying Swords could pierce through the Blessed Cloud, let alone this "Frost Sword Torrent"?

"Take your companions and leave quickly!"

Yu Changsheng, seldom anxious, fervently supported the magnificent heavenly boat, shouting loudly.

Lu Ran gripped his Tang Blade and his figure flashed.

Leng Jin, tense, rushed to escape the sky, her form darting to a figure within the mountains and forests.

"Swish~"

Lu Ran appeared high above behind Dongfang Ning, not daring to get too close, as she was surrounded by the Sword Cascade herself.

In such a situation, anyone who dared close in on her would be cut to shreds by a thousand swords!

"Woof! Woof woof! Woof!"

Without a word, Lu Ran barked madly at Dongfang Ning.

Evil Dog Evil Skill·Evil Bark!

This was a taunt technique.

Lu Ran's choice of this technique was deliberate.

Indeed, the Divine Technique·Sound of Despair is a higher grade than the Evil Technique·Evil Bark.

But Sound of Despair is meant to show weakness to the enemy, enticing them to maim and kill you.

However, Dongfang Ning was already seething with rage, and Lu Ran's goal was to fan the flames of her emotion!

Hence, Lu Ran opted for the infuriating Evil Technique·Evil Bark.

His purpose was simple: to have Dongfang Ning command the ice sword waterfall to shift targets and come to kill him!

But...

Dongfang Ning bit her lip hard, surprisingly unmoved?

It should be noted that her hatred for Lu Ran had reached an astonishing level!

Yet, relying on her absolute dominance and the mental strength of the Sea Realm, Dongfang Ning stubbornly withstood the taunt technique.

"What is this barking?"

Dongfang Ning snarled furiously.

She glared viciously at the mountain peak, determined to smash the mountain into smithereens, and shred the one who advanced atop it to pieces!

She held fast to one belief:

Destroy the mountain, then swiftly return to her lair, Sword Mountain Peak!

How could she easily send herself to die?

Dongfang Ning bit her lower lip hard.

The vile creature had slain two Sword One Disciples right under her nose.

She would repay this hatred one day!

And before leaving, whatever the Evil Dog youth deemed worthy of sacrificing himself to protect...

I will destroy it!

"Damn it!" Lu Ran looked at the unmoved Dongfang Ning within the Sword Cascade; he, too, was about to explode.

Once again, he felt the absolute suppression of a higher rank.

"Whoosh!!"

Lu Ran immediately raised his Dawn Blade, and golden-red light reappeared.

Divine Weapon Domain... activate!

Let's see if the Water Flow Armor of a mighty Sea Realm can withstand my Blessed Cloud!

Meanwhile, inside the mountain cave.

A sudden wind gust sprang up.

A woman holding a Blazing Phoenix Pattern gourd abruptly opened her eyes!

Her beautiful eyes shimmered, yet her gaze bore no joy, only intense hostility: [Sect Leader.]

[What?] In the urgent situation, Lu Ran failed to react immediately, [You... what's wrong?]

[I've successfully advanced, lots of commotion outside, who's attacking?] Deng Yuxiang quickly stood up, drawing out the broken blade from her back.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran rejoiced immensely!

What! A complete turn of events!

Lu Ran hurriedly transmitted: [Stay where you are; I'll come to get you!]

In the tunnel, Deng Yuxiang's forward-moving figure halted, and she hurriedly retreated: [Yes!]

"Swish~"

Lu Ran's figure flashed, appearing on the peak: "Mr. Yu, leave quickly; the two of us will find you in the Lake District!"

Yu Changsheng immediately understood Lu Ran's intentions.

"Crack!!"

The enormous Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat shattered abruptly.

The endless torrent composed of countless long icy swords surged fiercely, crashing towards the mountain peak.

Lu Ran's figure flashed once more, instantly appearing in the cave, swiftly summoning an Ancient Bronze Mirror, transforming it into a floor mirror.

"Go! Hurry!" Lu Ran grabbed Deng Yuxiang, Immortal Fog shooting from his feet.

"Sss—"

The two shot into the mirror, emerging near the lake in the mountain forest.

"Crack" sounded crisply!

Deng Yuxiang rammed against a large tree under Lu Ran's push, directly snapping it.

Yet, Deng Yuxiang didn't even frown. She worked hard to ease the force, wrapping one arm around Lu Ran, instinctively protecting him.

Lu Ran turned around and waved, quickly dismissing the floor mirror.

Not far away, on the lake's surface.

A small, pale golden Dragon Carp leapt from the water, quietly transforming into human form.

Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the two who narrowly escaped death.

No, such a description wasn't accurate.

Yu Changsheng knew that if Lu Ran wished, he could teleport away at any moment.

But it was...

The loyal dog crazily dueling a Sea Realm great power for the sake of his companions!

He had won precious time for his companions, enduring until the very last moment!

"Rumble..."

In the distant distance, a faint rumbling sounded like the collapse of the mountains.

"Mr. Yu." Lu Ran sheepishly smiled when he saw the handsome youth standing on the lake.

Yu Changsheng gazed at Lu Ran with a teasing, amused look:

"Hello there, Immortal Sheep Believer."

Lu Ran grinned: "Hehe~"
