The sky was shrouded in a sea of clouds, with misty waves flowing between the peaks.

Between heaven and earth, a mysterious youth wearing a green hat and blue raincoat walked alone.

"Buzz~"

The Cold Night Sword trembled slightly, as if reminding the youth that he was not alone.

"What?" Lu Ran reached into his waist and grasped the hilt of the sword.

A celestial figure quietly appeared, lying on his back with her side face resting on his shoulder, whispering, "We're almost there."

"Oh?" Lu Ran felt a stir in his heart, "Are we very close to the opponent?"

"Yes." The Cold Night Sword Spirit responded softly.

Unconsciously, the person and the sword had been traveling for nearly half a month.

The Heavenly Realm Battlefield was fraught with dangers, yet Liang Ye felt incredibly at peace, and moreover, time seemed to fly by, leaving him helpless.

As the distance to the opponent's Divine Weapon grew closer, Liang Ye knew that such special and beautiful days were coming to an end, and he was about to face a crucial moment in his life.

Death and dissipation, or soaring to the sky...

This occasion would be decisive.

The Cold Night Sword Spirit slowly closed her beautiful eyes, feeling the warmth of the hand holding the hilt, willing to believe that her fate would be the latter.

If not, then the past half month's time was as if he was seeing her off deliberately.

It would still be perfect enough.

"Are you nervous?" The youth's muffled voice came from behind the Blood Crystal Mask.

"No." The Cold Night Sword Spirit's response was straightforward.

Despite receiving a negative answer, Lu Ran continued to speak on his own: "I'm here."

"Yes." A faint smile appeared on the dazzling face of the Cold Night Sword Spirit.

"Come back." Lu Ran suddenly spoke with a serious tone, his gaze focused as he saw a small battle group appear in the distant southeast.

In front, rapidly fleeing, was a huge white tiger.

Chasing relentlessly from behind was a delicate and beautiful white jade sculpture.

"Whirl~" The Cold Night Sword Spirit heeded the order, merging into the sword's body.

Lu Ran swiftly moved forward, arriving at a stone peak, hiding behind the mountain, carefully checking his surroundings, ensuring safety before revealing half his face to once again observe the distant battle group.

At this glance, he happened to witness the moment the white tiger shattered into wind.

The Faceless Jade Venerable's palm hit the empty air, her body passing through the storm.

As she slowed down and turned around, the energy storm reassembled, transforming back into a fierce and malevolent white tiger.

"Goodness~" Lu Ran bared his teeth.

What a fierce beast!

Its huge figure, incredibly vicious face, and those scarlet eyes were emitting a terrifying radiance.

The white tiger had black stripes like lines of dark flames, not only attached to the tiger's skin but extending in all directions, dancing freely in the air.

Black mist spread, thick with evil qi covering the sky, making one's skin crawl!

Evil Demon·Yinli Tiger!

"Hmm..." Lu Ran pondered slightly.

Was this Divine Mountain he approached the domain of the Mountain Lord-Yinli Tiger?

What a stroke of bad luck!

Lu Ran had been thinking if he could live in seclusion near this Divine Mountain, to ambush and seize Dead Soul resources while training diligently.

If this bunch existed in this mountain, then he definitely couldn't stay long!

The Mountain Lord-Yinli Tiger pair, in terms of perception, was by no means inferior to the Evil Dog Clan.

In terms of ranking, the Mountain Lord-Yinli Tiger was genuinely a second-class God Demon!

In the Great Xia Divine Sequence, it was ranked among the top three ranks of beast gods, renowned as one of the "Eight Great Heavenly Demons."

Due to attributes, temperament, and other aspects, the second-class God·Sky Phoenix, with its medical skills and benevolence, was always praised as the leader of the Eight Great Heavenly Demons.

But any clear-sighted person knew, from a combat strength perspective, the Mountain Lord was the true king of beast gods!

"Roar!!"

The tiger's roar came from afar, not seeming particularly majestic, instead releasing a brutal and ferocious aura.

Evil Technique·Yin Tiger Roar!

All living beings would be terrified and experience soul-throbbing fear amidst this unique roar!

Unfortunately,

The Jade Venerable is faceless and heartless.

All spiritual output techniques have no effect on her.

Lu Ran saw clearly that the Faceless Jade Venerable was unfazed, once again pouncing towards the gigantic creature.

The Yinli Tiger was indeed too large at the Heavenly Realm level.

Its body length was probably around twenty-four or five meters, with a shoulder height over ten meters, as tall as a three-story building.

The long, powerful tiger tail was likely over ten meters long as well.

It must be known that the Faceless Jade Venerable wasn't small in stature, generally four or five meters tall, even if Lu Ran stood on tiptoes, he couldn't reach her waist...

Yet she seemed so small before such a colossal beast.

Though small in stature, her strength was ferocious!

The Faceless Jade Venerable, in her grand jade robe, wildly fluttered, single-handedly charging at the Yinli Tiger, letting the endless black "whip" lash her body.

"Crack! Crack...."

It was the Evil Technique of the Yinli Tiger Clan·Yinli Whip, which when struck on the target, not only had immense destructive power but could directly lash the souls of living beings through the flesh!

For ordinary foes, they would have lost combat abilities long ago under the chaotic lashing of the Yinli Whip.

However, the Faceless Jade Venerable showed no fear!

Fighting like a damn war god!

The Yinli Tiger dodged continuously; despite its large size, it was exceptionally agile and quick.

This clan possessed extremely sharp tiger claws, but clearly, the Yinli Tiger dared not touch the Faceless Jade Venerable, only using dark mist long whips to harass its enemy.

The Yinli Tiger seemed to be on the defensive, but in fact, this "kite flying" tactic was quite effective.

Quantitative changes would eventually lead to qualitative changes!

As long as the Faceless Jade Venerable received enough lashes, there would soon come a moment when her jade body would crack with fissures.

"Hmm." Lu Ran nodded secretly.

Truly a second-class Evil Demon!

Facing the Faceless Jade Venerable one-on-one, yet not falling behind! Such combat prowess in a God Demon minion was rare... Whoa?

Lu Ran suddenly widened his eyes.

He originally thought the Yinli Tiger dared not engage the Faceless Jade Venerable, yet realized it took action?

So bold?

"Roar!" The tiger's roar, filled with violent aura, echoed far and wide.

Only to see the black whips extending from the tiger's stripes suddenly gather together, transforming into a pair of dark mist long wings.

No need to flap black wings, the Shadow Tiger moved gracefully in the air, suddenly changing direction with its sharp tiger claws shining.

Evil Technique·Shadow Wind Wings!

Evil Technique·Shadow Claws!

"Sss!"

For a moment, Lu Ran thought he saw sparks flying.

The Shadow Tiger, with a single claw toe and the incredibly sharp tip of its nail, sliced through the robes of the Faceless Jade Venerable.

Only insiders see the subtlety!

Its timing and precision control of distance were truly remarkable.

As the people of Da Xia watched "Heavenly Pride", they probably had the same feeling towards the ghostly Lu Ran?

Lu Ran initially thought he had rated the Shadow Tiger clan highly enough, but unexpectedly, this clan turned out to be so terrifying!

They have courage and guts!

Going head-to-head with the Faceless Jade Lord!

Back when Lu Ran was fighting east and west at Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, he once battled the Sea Realm Great Demon of the Shadow Tiger clan, and even then he realized the combat power of the Shadow Tiger clan was formidable.

Now looking at the Heavenly Realm's Shadow Tiger, it's incredibly strong.

And incredibly sneaky!

"Hoo!"

Lu Ran witnessed firsthand as the Shadow Tiger suddenly shattered into wind, allowing the Faceless Jade Lord to penetrate through again, before piecing back together.

Evil Technique·Ghost Soul Dispersion!

Lu Ran thought that this technique should be called "Ghost Soul Undispersion" to be fitting.

The Shadow Tiger might not have the Instant Teleportation Technique, but simply this move of transforming flesh into wind is enough to put it in an unbeatable position.

The Faceless Jade Venerable almost only has physical output means, unable to cope.

If it were Jiang Ruyi, she'd cast a Bursting Flame Talisman straight away!

Or if it were Deng Yuxiang, she'd send a Tornado over...

Dare to shatter into wind in front of me?

Then you're done for.

Unfortunately, the Faceless Jade Lord doesn't have the techniques to counter the enemy.

Surprisingly, Lu Ran did not see the Faceless Jade Lord in a panic; she relentlessly pursued, seeking opportunities in the fierce hunt.

It makes sense.

The Shadow Tiger can whip the Faceless Jade Lord a thousand times, scratch her a hundred times with sharp claws, but if it lets the Faceless Jade Lord touch it once...

It would be over!

The Shadow Tiger clan doesn't have defensive techniques, with only their nails being the hardest.

The Faceless Jade Venerable only needs one palm or one kick to pierce the Shadow Tiger.

The intense entanglement was thrilling to watch for Lu Ran!

He somehow empathized with the Shadow Tiger...

Lu Ran doesn't think he could withstand one slap from the Faceless Jade Venerable.

But he, like the Shadow Tiger, can dance on a knife's edge and actually harm the Faceless Jade Lord.

So the more thrilling the Shadow Tiger's steps, the more sense of involvement Lu Ran felt.

There's another situation that Lu Ran has been enduring.

Every time the Shadow Tiger shattered into wind, Lu Ran couldn't help but want to reach out and release the North Wind Divine Skill·North Wind Roar!

To make the Shadow Tiger completely offline, merging with the Tornado, disappearing between heaven and earth...

Luckily, Lu Ran is rational enough, and the battlefield is distant enough.

As time passed, the victory or defeat between the intensely entangled sides became increasingly apparent.

The Faceless Jade Lord is truly about to lose!

This is a true one-on-one kill! From beginning to end, Lu Ran never saw the God's minions·Mountain Lord.

Lu Ran quietly retreated from the mountain peak, his figure fading into the sea of fog.

The foggy sea, over 1 meter thick, was enough to conceal his figure, allowing him to approach silently.

Relying on a pair of Simurgh's Eyes, even within the misty fog sea, Lu Ran could clearly see outside.

The Faceless Jade Lord was still chasing!

Even though she was already covered with cracks, she showed no signs of panic or withdrawal.

Could it be that she truly believes she can win?

Lu Ran didn't know for a moment whether to say she had a good mindset or to say she was arrogant.

"Crack! Crack..."

The sound of the Jade Venerable breaking kept echoing.

Lu Ran, like a possessed Bai Rao, was crawling swiftly across the ground; at this moment, he could be considered dual stealth.

Not only hiding within the fog sea, but also activating the Greedy Wolf Divine Technique·Wolf Concealment.

For this, Lu Ran deliberately left the Cold Night Sword at the bottom of Stone Peak, fearing that while invisible, he'd also conceal the aura of Cold Night Sword, allowing the opponent's Divine Weapon to detect abnormalities.

"Roar!"

The Shadow Tiger let out an angry roar, making all beings tremble!

It seemed to be a roar of victory, also the growl of the final strike.

The Shadow Tiger opened its pair of black wings, its enormous body flickering, rapidly approaching the Faceless Jade Venerable with sharp tiger claws gleaming.

The Faceless Jade Venerable abruptly hovered in mid-air, her indifferent eyes quietly observing the Shadow Tiger.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly, the jade robe fluttered!

The Faceless Jade Lord, full of cracks, suddenly lunged forward without warning.

The Shadow Tiger's eyes glowed red, seemingly ready to give the enemy a fatal blow, but at the critical moment, its body shattered into wind once more.

The Jade Venerable's shattering is a foregone conclusion, why take the risk?

The Shadow Tiger clan is indeed fierce, but also ruthless, merely toying with prey.

However, in the dense fog sea, there is a lamb cub wearing invisible wolfskin, even more insidious and cunning!

"Hoo!!"

Suddenly, a Gale arose from the ground.

It enveloped the Shadow Tiger shattered into wind, and also the Faceless Jade Venerable full of cracks.

The Faceless Jade Venerable froze!

Lu Ran gazed at the shattered jade sculpture in the wind, sending a mental message: [Lord Xian Mo.]

[Huh?]

[Dinner's ready.] Lu Ran licked his lips, [Today's dish is extraordinary, tiger meat, tiger bones, tiger... uh, very nourishing!]

Jiang Ruyi: "..."
