As midnight approached, the number of Evil Demons invading the world increased.
Despite this, the promotion of the Silent Night Blade greatly reduced the pressure on the city’s guards.
A large number of Evil Demons were attracted to the eastern suburbs, where they were annihilated by Biwu believer·Liu Yunlan without leaving a trace.
Lu Ran, however, paid little attention to the chaos on the battlefield.
He, under the protection of the wutong branches, patiently guided the advancent of the Silent Night Blade until...
"Buzz!!"
Silent Night Tremor!
A surge of air waves rolled out, causing Lu Ran’s raincoat to flutter.
Suddenly, a huge phantom spread out from the Silent Night Blade.
It was... another Lu Ran.
A Lu Ran of noble deanor and icy gaze.
Noble? Icy?
Lu Ran had never expected, in his lifeti, to associate himself with these words.
"Silent Night?" Lu Ran called out softly.
"Master." The brief response confird the completion of Silent Night.
Its voice was exactly like Lu Ran’s, but the tone was so cold, as if coming from a high and mighty being.
Lu Ran blinked, utterly confused.
This attitude, this deanor, who exactly is the master between us?
Considering the Dawn Blade Spirit, also a representation of Lu Ran, it was always smiling brightly and had a particularly sunny disposition.
As for the Silent Night Blade Spirit...
Lu Ran scrutinized the Silent Night Blade closely, observing mysterious patterns on it, shimring with a beautiful deep purple luster.
"Congratulations?" Lu Ran tried to communicate.
The Silent Night Blade Spirit spoke softly, its faint voice echoing in his mind: "Together in joy."
Lu Ran: "..."
Then show so joy, will you?
When Lu Ran first acquired the Silent Night Blade, he had imagined what the blade spirit would look like.
From the material of the Silent Night Blade, Lu Ran envisioned a noble and stunning Dark Night Queen.
Looking at it now, aside from the gender, didn’t it match quite well?
Silent Night murmured softly: "It’s noisy around here."
Lu Ran looked baffled and released his grip: "Go, then."
"Hmm." The Silent Night Blade instantly flew out, leaving behind a faint purple trail.
Lu Ran: "..."
That faint "Hmm" completely baffled Lu Ran.
He raised his right hand, grasping the Dawn Blade, and whispered, "Silent Night is so aloof."
Dawn Blade Spirit: "It is the continuation of the master’s will, you led it down this path."
Lu Ran couldn’t help but smirk.
That seed about right~
Every ti he slew an Evil Demon, he emphasized "quiet" to the Silent Night Blade, clearly defining its growth path.
Under such focused education, the Silent Night Blade not only demanded quiet from its enemies but also beca reserved and laconic.
Its conduct was probably quite formidable!
"Congratulations." A female voice ca through.
"Thank you, Senior Liu!" Lu Ran imdiately turned around, looking towards the giant tree.
Liu Yunlan erged from the tree trunk, a slight smile visible on her face.
Lu Ran finally had ti to take a close look at this great power of the Human Clan.
She appeared to be just over forty, with both her appearance and temperant being comndable, much softer in expression compared to when he first saw her.
Lu Ran distinctly rembered Captain Ge Bin calling her "Sister Liu."
This ant her actual age had to be in the mid-forties or older.
Divine Technique·Biwu Holy Light indeed preserves well...
"You’re too polite." Liu Yunlan looked at Lu Ran, not hiding the admiration in her eyes, "For soone so young to possess such strength, you are indeed the fortune of Rain Alley."
Lu Ran smiled: "Just luck, pure luck."
Liu Yunlan smiled back at Lu Ran, then stretched out a branch of Biwu and tied it around Lu Ran’s waist:
"Let’s go back to Wu Lie Building."
"Yes!" Lu Ran scanned the battlefield, and his heart chilled.
The battle was nearing its end, and corpses filled the battlefield!
This giant Biwu tree was simply a divine control technique!
The lushness and spread of its branches were astounding.
Evil Demons that were lured here were pierced and shredded.
Not far away, Lu Ran also saw a Moon Gazer squad, backing them up.
Lu Ran nodded at them and grabbed the returning Silent Night Blade.
"Huff~"
Lu Ran soared into the air, his raincoat rustling.
Only then did he realize that the stormy weather had passed, turning into light rain.
Lu Ran couldn’t help thinking back to the confrontation with the Jiang Realm Evil Dog, that earth-shattering thunderclap.
Without such weather or that thunderclap, perhaps the Evil Dog would not have succumbed so easily.
"Heh."
Lu Ran chuckled and shook his head, gripping the Silent Night Blade tightly.
It seed,
Even the heavens were helping us.
"Buzz~"
The Silent Night Blade gently vibrated.
Now that it had developed its Artifact Spirit, its nature had beco fixed, and its responses were no longer as intense as before.
With Silent Night’s help, Lu Ran carried Liu Yunlan through the urban area, heading straight for Wu Lie Building.
Once again, he landed at a position several stories high, right in the outdoor restaurant area.
"Lu Ran, I will always be watching over you." Liu Yunlan unbuckled the Biwu branch from Lu Ran’s waist and spoke softly, "Wishing you a splendid future."
Lu Ran nodded vigorously: "Senior, take care."
Lu Ran didn’t know Liu Yunlan’s exact identity or even her exact level of strength.
But with such a Jiang Realm Great Power speaking to him like this, Lu Ran would of course acknowledge her words!
Watching the middle-aged woman leave, Lu Ran pressed a hand to his ear: "Report, am I returning to the team?"
An aged voice ca through the earpiece: "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, on the grand accomplishnt of your Divine Weapon, and thank you for your dedication to this city.
You may choose to rest in a shelter or rejoin your team, the choice is yours."
"I’ll rejoin my team. Where is Squad 004?" Lu Ran asked.
"Hexi Park gate."
"Roger that!" Lu Ran responded, gripping his sword as he flew once again into the night sky.
The dazzling neon night scene grew increasingly distant behind Lu Ran.
Returning to Hexi, the scenery shifted back to dim street lights and the glow from nurous hos.
Outside Hexi Park, on a narrow and old overpass, Jiang Ruyi suddenly stopped.
As she looked up into the night sky, Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long also raised their eyes.
They saw a figure in a yellow raincoat, cutting through the misty rain, slanting downwards.
"Ha ha, the great hero is back!" Sun Zhengfang laughed heartily.
"No, no, no." Lu Ran, looking embarrassed, waved his hands dismissively, "Keep going."
Sun Zhengfang chuckled: "Don’t be so modest... eh?"
Wei Long: "..."
"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi couldn’t help laughing, taking the Cold Night Sword that flew to her.
The Cold Night Sword entered her hand.
And she entered soone’s arms.
Jiang Ruyi stiffened slightly, tilting her head slightly and whispered a reminder: "There’s a cara on."
"Oh, right!" Lu Ran had indeed been too excited and imdiately stepped back.
First, he had slain the Demon Lord, then led the Divine Weapon to its promotion.
Each epic event added together, leaving him exhilaratingly triumphant.
At only 18, Lu Ran wasn’t so composed middle-aged man... Well, it seed like Sun Zhengfang wasn’t that composed either?
Sun Zhengfang watched the young couple with a smile, tily breaking the awkwardness: "Return to the team, patrol!"
"Yes!" Lu Ran responded loudly.
Jiang Ruyi spoke softly: "Tell about the battle just now?"
"Let tell you, that Jiang Realm Evil Dog was truly fierce..."
...
As dawn gradually brightened, the rain in Rain Alley City finally ceased.
Since the arrival of the Demon Lord, the night passed without further incident.
By 6:30 AM, Lu Ran’s squad was patrolling according to their route, reaching Rain Alley Ho Community.
Lu Ran turned to look at Sun Zhengfang.
Without a word needed, Sun Zhengfang smiled and waved his hands: "Go rest well!"
Lu Ran grinned: "Then I won’t be polite, huh?"
"Get lost!" Sun Zhengfang chuckled and continued, "Go on, you’ve worked hard."
Lu Ran raised his hands, opening his palms.
The Dawn Blade and Silent Night Blade rose up, automatically sliding into the scabbards on Lu Ran’s back.
Hmm... quite stylish.
Blades sheathed.
The person sheathed~
Since the advancent of the Silent Night Blade into a Divine Weapon, Lu Ran could indeed free up his hands completely for fancier maneuvers.
He walked backward towards the community, waving at the trio with his now-free hands.
Jiang Ruyi smiled and playfully rolled her eyes at Lu Ran, shouting from afar: "Hurry back."
"Sure... eh?" As Lu Ran retreated, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Still in combat mode, Lu Ran abruptly turned to look and saw a familiar face.
Wasn’t that Red Scarf Believer·Chen Jing?
"Kid!" Chen Jing grinned, showing off his white teeth.
His heavy hand landed firmly on Lu Ran’s shoulder, his voice boisterous and loud: "Aweso!"
Lu Ran: "..."
You hear that,
Should a Moon Gazer be speaking like this?
Chen Jing patted Lu Ran’s shoulder, full of emotion, and spat out three more words: "Really aweso!"
Lu Ran was stunned.
About last night’s battle where Lu Ran volunteered to participate in slaying the Demon Lord, the entire Moon Gazer community was aware.
Lu Ran was still unaware of this city defense force’s profound gratitude towards him.
And Lu Ran’s battle against the Demon Lord had been live-stread...
In the last episode of "Heavenly Pride," Lu Ran made a na for himself by killing the Tangled Silk Shadow clan during the Night of Ghosts, gaining considerable fa.
This ti, with "Heavenly Pride," after this battle, Lu Ran was bound to beco widely celebrated throughout Da Xia, unrivaled and acclaid!
All voices of doubt should be silenced now.
The road ahead, from now on, should only be filled with flowers and applause, right?
In the future, no matter which Demon Cave he journeyed to or what he did, people should be able to facilitate his endeavors, right?
It remains to be seen whether Lord Immortal Sheep will facilitate things, though.
Later, when he got ho, he would have to recount tonight’s heroic deeds thoroughly to Lord Immortal Sheep!
Hopefully, this performance would satisfy the divine being and open the doors to a new world for him sooner rather than later.
The more Lu Ran thought about it, the more he looked forward to it.
"Thank you, Uncle." Lu Ran patted Chen Jing’s shoulder, "I’m going to sleep."
With that, Lu Ran sprinted away.
Chen Jing watched Lu Ran’s figure receding, pulling at his hoarse voice: "Keep going! Kid!
Stay increasingly aweso!"
Lu Ran: "..."
Though crude, the sentint was solid.
Translated, Chen Jing’s words were akin to what Senior Liu Yunlan had said: "Wishing you a splendid future"...
