Chapter 102: Untitled (1)

“There’s no hurry.” Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously.

Big Brother Lei was suspicious. “Brother Tiger, you have other appointments?”

“Apart from you, is anyone else coming?” Xiao Ran asked.

Big Brother Lei shook his head.

“It’s Huang Feng’s wedding, not yours. We’ve already given him a lot of respect by coming in person. If you were the one getting married, as the Big Brother, I would definitely invite more than ten demons to celebrate with you.”

“You know quite a lot of friends,” Xiao Ran said meaningfully.

Big Brother Lei looked smug. “Of course! Out there in the world, one more friend means one more means of support. With the five major law-enforcement departments of the Imperial Court clamping down on us so harshly, who knows? We might need them one day.”

Then he paused for a while.

“Can we drink now?”

“I’m afraid you won’t have the chance anymore,” Xiao Ran said.

Big Brother Lei was puzzled and looked at him in confusion, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

“Barrier!” Xiao Ran launched a barrier shield.

As his boundless spiritual soul energy swept out, it enveloped the entire room and morphed into a barrier shield.

Even if there was a huge commotion here later, it would not be detected outside.

Big Brother Lei hurriedly took a step back. His demonic aura surged, and his face turned sinister. He glared at him malevolently, and pointed at him as he questioned him.

“You’re not a Brother Tiger. He’s not a Spiritual Master. Who the hell are you?”

Xiao Ran retracted his transformation technique.

As he revealed his original appearance, he proclaimed in a disdainful tone, “Xiao Ran, Sapphire Sword Guard of the Divine Sword Guards.”

“So it’s you despicable rats. Speak! What did you do to Brother Tiger?” Big Brother Lei suddenly stomped down. With his powerful abilities, he was bold and fearless.

Besides,

he had some understanding of the Divine Sword Guards in the Qing Province.

From the information he had received, a demon had caused trouble some time ago and almost wiped them out.

Although the capital city sent powerful experts to subdue this demon and imprison it in the Celestial Dungeon,

the base station here suffered a serious setback, resulting in a massive diminution of their power.

Some time ago, an Amethyst Sword Guard was sent here to take charge of the situation, but they were still severely shorthanded.

The loss of powerful experts could not be made up for in such a short time.

As for the Sacred Martial Bureau and the Qing Provincial Government, they were not on good terms with the Divine Sword Guards and had a very rocky relationship with them. It was already good enough that they did not cause trouble behind their backs. As for lending a helping hand, that was even more unlikely.

“He’s already dead,” Xiao Ran said.

“Who killed him?” Big Brother Lei bellowed.

“Me.”

“You killed Brother Tiger? I’ll bury you with him!” Big Brother Lei flew into a rage.

Terrifying killing intent churned and billowed out wildly.

The aura of a Level 2 Profound Realm burst forth, and a monstrous soaring demonic aura rapidly inundated the whole room. Hundreds of lightning bolts shot out of his body, exploding one after another in a continuous barrage.

“Die!” Big Brother Lei attacked with fury.

His sharp claws swiped outwards. The evil and dark lightning bolts shot out from his palm, turning into a palm of lightning bolts that slapped ruthlessly towards Xiao Ran’s head.

“Hey! The lightning essence accumulated in your Lightning Pearl is so strong?” Xiao Ran’s eyes lit up with delight.

“What did you expect then?” Big Brother Lei gave a scornful snort.

“That’s so convenient for me,” Xiao Ran said.

In similar fashion, Xiao Ran also slapped out a palm to receive the gigantic palm of lightning bolts heading towards him.

The Apotropaic Divine Lightning shot out and transformed into golden lightning bolts. The strong invigorating Yang energy was anathema to demons by nature. It also contained some negative attributes.

As it collided on his sharp talons,

Roar!

Golden light erupted, and the overpowering Apotropaic Divine Lightning decimated these evil lightning bolts in a cataclysmic fashion.

Under Xiao Ran’s manipulation, countless threads of lightning radiated randomly, converging into a gigantic web of lightning that trapped the demon and then attacked his body in a flurry of lightning bolts.

“That’s impossible! Didn’t the Apotropaic Divine Lightning disappear a long time ago?” Big Brother Lei’s expression changed drastically.

What the Thunder Roar Clan feared the most was the power of lightning like the Apotropaic Divine Lightning, which contained strong invigorating Yang energy.

No matter how he struggled, how desperately he mobilized the evil lightning in the Lightning Pearl,

it was utterly useless.

His skills evolution imploded and he fell to the ground weakly.

Looking at Xiao Ran, his big saucer-like eyes were filled with fear. “You’re from the capital city’s Divine Sword Guards.”

“You have good judgment,” Xiao Ran admitted proudly.

With a wave of his right hand, he withdrew the Apotropaic Divine Lightning all around them.

He walked up to the fallen demon. “Are you going to hand over the Lightning Pearl yourself, or do you want me to do it?”

“Don’t even think about it!” Big Brother Lei shouted angrily.

“Looks like I have to do it myself.” Xiao Ran shook his head in mock resignation.

As his right foot slammed into his chest, violent power smashed into the demon’s body.

“Ah!” Big Brother Lei screamed in pain.

His chest cracked wide open and the Lightning Pearl shot out. Xiao Ran immediately grabbed it.

Without the Lightning Pearl, not only had he lost his lightning essence, his life had also come to an end.

“Huang Feng screwed me!” With that, Big Brother Lei died, aggrieved and resentful.

After putting his body into the Seven Treasures Rainbow Jade Belt, the Golden Tome of Creation opened to a random page and revealed three items.

One million Mastery points, 100 years of soul evolution, Megalodon Roc Body Strengthening Pill.

He added the one million Mastery points to Summon the Wind.

After the attributes were refreshed,

Summon the Wind: Perfection.

In terms of Spiritual Master Evolution, he was still 180 years away from breaking through to Level 6 of the Earth Realm..

Megalodon Roc Body Strengthening Pill: refined with the blood of the Megalodon Roc, a mythical fish-bird shapeshifter. It contained supreme power and can strengthen the body.

“Good stuff,” Xiao Ran mused out loud.

He swallowed the Megalodon Roc Body Strengthening Pill.

The immense power swirled around and strengthened his body. Under the tempering effects of this power, his physical body advanced another step and was now comparable to a Level 1 Profound Realm expert.

Moreover, his body’s defense was fortified to the point that it had no weaknesses. When the body was deployed in close combat, his combat ability was off the charts.

He looked at the Lightning Pearl. It was pure green.

Bolts of lightning flashed and radiated from it, exerting a strong force of resistance, trying to break free from Xiao Ran’s hand.

However, it was useless in front of Xiao Ran.

“If I swallow it, the Apotropaic Divine Lightning will advance another step.” Xiao Ran observed with a smile.

As a suction force burst out from his palm, the lightning essence inside the pearl was devoured forcibly.
