Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 972: Trying to Set Me Up?


Wait.

A long wait.

Lu Ran stood in the sky two kilometers north of the Divine Mountain, ready to activate the Domain of Silence at any moment. The Evil Shadow Guardian, Elder Lu Yuan, and others were positioned in the southeast sky of the Divine Mountain, poised to strike.

The Jade Talisman had already returned to the Divine Mountain to recuperate twice, yet the Blood Skull continued to slaughter, an absolute battle demon!

Lu Ran sometimes wondered whether the resources plundered by the Blood Skull were enough to replenish the energy consumed in battle?

After an indeterminate period, Yan Shuangzi's eyes suddenly focused!

On the distant Eastern Front, a gigantic Blood Skull Evil Sculpture suddenly vanished, leaving behind a giant blood-red residue.

The Blood Skull has returned to the mountain!

He appeared at the mountain peak in a crouch, with a pair of blood blades stabbed into the Divine Mountain, his disheveled hair revealing a pair of vicious eyes overlooking the still chaotic frontline.

[Attention all units!]

The phrase embedded in her mind made Yan Shuangzi's body tense.

Her left and right hands each grasped the necks of Tu Feng and He Qifeng, both top close-combat experts within the Ran Sect.

Nearby, Lu Yuan's stone sculpture concentrated, holding a Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd in his left hand and a small purse in his right.

[3...2... Action!]

Lu Ran directly activated the Domain of Silence, Yan Shuangzi fixated on the Blood Skull and flashed away.

From within Lu Yuan's stone sculpture emerged a God and Demon Residue—Qin Yanzhi!

At the same time, the two magic artifacts in Lu Yuan's hands instantly unleashed God and Demon Sculptures en masse.

The master and disciple simultaneously activated the Teleportation Technique, as two beautiful Other Shore Flowers bloomed.

At the very moment Lu Ran activated the Domain of Silence, the crouching Blood Skull shuddered slightly.

"Hmm?"

The Blood Skull sensed his Divine Power being suppressed, but more than that, energy was surging from behind him?

The Evil Shadow Guardian, carrying the Wind Emperor and the Slaughter Heavenly General, arrived in an instant, grabbing at the target.

A dull thud, rubble splattering!

The Blood Skull reacted incredibly quickly, his movement speed astoundingly fast. Already crouching, he lunged forward fiercely.

Tu Feng's face changed abruptly!

He Qifeng also caught nothing but air, his face incomparably grim.

Damn!

Different gods and demons react differently to sudden situations.

The former Martial Monks, when ambushed, chose to fight back head-on immediately.

In sudden circumstances, the Blood Skull's first reaction was to evade.

"Whew~" Yan Shuangzi moved with equally astonishing speed, leaning forward, her hand reaching for the opponent's head.

In the Domain of Silence, neither Blood Skull nor Evil Shadow had Skills to rely on, but both were swift types of gods and demons, with such innate qualities.

Just like Si Xianxian, whose power attributes are higher than ordinary gods and demons.

However, Yan Shuangzi's outstretched hand did not catch the enemy's head but instead grabbed onto the Blood Skull's disheveled hair.

Several clear snapping sounds immediately echoed.

The disheveled hair broke instantly, unable to halt the Blood Skull's forward launch.

"Stop!" Yan Shuangzi reacted quickly, pushing off the ground nearly at a level with it, lunging forward.

"Snap!"

Yan Shuangzi grabbed the Blood Skull's ankle, and the two gods and demons tumbled off the Divine Mountain.

The heavy muffled sounds echoed from the mountain's peak, spreading downward.

The Blood Skull had already turned, lying on his back as he fell, his foot fiercely kicking at the unfamiliar female stone statue.

"Thud! Thud!" One foot after another, mercilessly stamped on Yan Shuangzi's face.

"Ugh." Yan Shuangzi's head tilted from the kick, gritting her teeth, her other hand hastily blocking.

"Rumble..." The two massive stone sculptures tumbled to the mountainside, collapsing the mountain, sending chunks of rubble rolling down, raising clouds of dust.

White Patterned Wolf, Blood Disaster Dog, Golden Spike Elder, and Straw Demon—four god and demon sculptures—all turned to look this way.

None had the poise befitting gods and demons, each and every one wide-eyed in shock!

This... this, this?

It's not that the dignity of the gods and demons was lacking, but this situation was too astonishingly extraordinary.

Is there truly a living being in this world who dares to cause trouble for Lord Blood Skull?

Really tired of living?

"Hold on!" The sharp voice spread from the peak to the mountainside, He Qifeng plummeting swiftly.

Tu Feng followed closely behind, only to see amidst the flying dust, a blue teleportation array had activated, evidently opened above the Evil Shadow Guardian's head.

Seeing this scene, the Blood Skull understood that reinforcements were about to arrive and also saw the strange female stone statue clinging to his ankle, refusing to let go; he made a decisive decision, directly abandoning the attempt to rid himself of the woman.

He stomped the ground with one foot, his immense body blasting upward, shooting straight southward.

"Whew~"

Yan Shuangzi was borne away from the Divine Mountain, beneath her, arrays unfolded from which massive stone sculptures descended, plummeting from the sky.

The range of the Fourth Rank·Domain of Silence is ten thousand meters in diameter, with a radius of five kilometers.

For stone sculptures that frequently measure two to three hundred meters, a mere five thousand meters is just a few leaps away.

The bigger issue is that Lu Ran cast the spell from two kilometers north of the Divine Mountain!

This time the Blood Skull launched with all his might, taking Yan Shuangzi with him, soaring out of the Domain of Silence's range.

At the instant her Divine Power reactivated, Yan Shuangzi acted swiftly, immediately deploying the Instant Teleportation Technique!

"Swoosh~"

Yan Shuangzi:!!!

She stood upon the mountain peak, her Divine Power once again sealed, but the ankle she had been clutching so tightly was gone.

Looking up, where she had just flickered to, there remained only a massive blood-red residue.

Yan Shuangzi had failed to bring back the Blood Skull!

She reacted swiftly, but the Blood Skull was not outdone; he too had teleported away!

All soldiers around changed color one by one, and even the entire fiercely contested battlefield paused momentarily.

The Blood Skull... just killed his way out like that?

The Immortal Sheep Sculpture's heart sank.

Indeed, the Blood Skull is the Evil Demon Leader, a strength not to be underestimated.

Only, all along, Lu Ran and his subordinates had fought in the Heavenly Realm, undefeated!

Yet, arriving at the Blood Dust Divine Mountain, a mistake occurred?

This kid... Is he deliberately making me use Divine Technique·Sheep, so that I become weak?

"Save me! Lord Blood Skull, save me!" A panicked shout broke the silence.

Near the summit area, the Jade Talisman was being pinned down by the stone sculptures of Leng Tianxing and Leng Tianyue, who both possessed complete Divine Positions, leaving him completely immobile.

His four top-level magic artifact stone tokens lost their effectiveness within the Domain of Silence, remaining only with the ability to hover, unable to cast spells.

"What the hell are you barking at?!"

Outside the domain, a furious female voice came through, accompanied by a series of blazing hammer shadows.

The Mad Immortal was anxious and angry, fiercely swinging the hammer shadows, though not at the Jade Talisman.

Because that damn guy was destined to be consumed by Qiao Yuansi's Divine Fire Demon's Refining Cauldron.

Refine!

Relentlessly refine!

The young master said he would stand atop the lantern and personally watch Lord Jade Talisman suffer and struggle.

Si Xianxian, as the main attack point for Ran Sect, was tasked to deal with those capable of teleportation as quickly as possible.

Then provide rapid support, fiercely smashing the Blood Skull!

Yet at this moment, the Blood Skull had already escaped, able to instantly reach anyone nearby and take their life!

How could the Mad Immortal not be anxious?

"How bold, to dare scheme against me."

From tens of kilometers southeast of the Divine Mountain, a sinister voice came.

Blood Skull hovered in the air, flinging both hands to grip two Blood Burning Blades dripping with blood, his eyes filled with ruthless aggression, staring menacingly at the rabble atop the mountain peak.

A few simple words carried infinite oppressive power, causing even the God and Demon with complete Divine Positions to shudder in this overwhelming might.

"Huff!!" From within Blood Skull, a dense sea of blood suddenly surged forth, spreading in all directions.

Blood Skull Clan's ultimate move·Blood Sacrifice Mountain and River!

The boiling blood was scorching hot, capable of engulfing everything as it burned all to ashes, reducing to energy to replenish itself.

"Swish~" Blood Skull flicked his blade swiftly.

At the mountain peak, He Yingcai panicked, as if already envisioning a massive arc made from sizzling blood splitting the towering Divine Mountain and shattering the God Sculptures.

Aside from teleportation, there was no other way!

Flying was obviously out of the question, for no matter how fast you flew, you couldn't be faster than the arc of blood... huh?

He Yingcai suddenly slightly opened her mouth, her fearful gaze transforming into relieved gratitude for narrowly escaping disaster.

Everything she anticipated had not occurred.

The dual blades that Blood Skull lifted failed to unleash an arc of blood that would incinerate all.

Even those Blood Burning Blades turned directly into viscous blood, flowing down between Blood Skull's fingers.

Gone?

A young man's voice rang out, equally sinister:

"Does scheming against you require great courage?"

The smiling sheep face of the Immortal Sheep God Sculpture remained unchanged, only a peculiar gleam momentarily flashed in its eyes.

Due to the distance, it couldn't hear the disciple's words, but it could clearly witness Blood Skull's unusual state.

"Hmm?" Blood Skull abruptly turned his gaze.

Four to five kilometers away, above the splashing sea of blood and higher in the sky, a tiny figure from the Human Clan hovered.

He wore a flowing feather garment, resembling an immortal in exile, yet his face was obscured by a Blood Crystal Mask, exuding a hint of wickedness.

The youth too had a head of cropped hair, slightly tousled underneath, were a pair of extraordinarily cold eyes.

There was a curious stylistic similarity between the one person and the demon.

Honestly, if Blood Skull chose to flee directly, Lu Ran would indeed be at a loss.

But the problem was, would the proud Lord Blood Skull leave?

Arriving thirty kilometers away, using the surging sea of blood to cover the world, preventing any stone sculptures from nearing, regrouping—by then he would likely unleash havoc and destruction, right?

Heh.

Lu Ran tightly pressed his lips, staring directly into Blood Skull's eyes.

Forget about wreaking havoc.

Since you're not leaving, then don't even think about it!

"Huff!"

On the Blood Dust Divine Mountain, the Dust Shadow Flower instantly bloomed into a sea of flowers, simultaneously revealing an illusory Other Shore Flower.

Blood Skull moved to thirty kilometers southeast, Lu Ran closed the domain, used invisibility and teleportation to approach, reopened the domain, controlling the opponent, thus allowing the many God and Demon of the mountain to cast spells.

The Dust Shadow Flower immediately reacted, intending to flee, but Ran Sect was prepared.

Among the Ran Sect warriors beside Dust Shadow Flower was the presence of He Yingcai!

Divine Color General had already grasped the petals with both hands, and at this moment, released ten fine red lines, adhering to the petals.

The blossoming sea of flowers beneath her feet was designed to be highly hallucinogenic, yet had no effect on her.

The Bi He Sect possessed the skill of Spirit Defense·Lotus Heart!

At the same time, in another battle formation on the Divine Mountain, Tangled Silk Shadow also summoned an Ancient Bronze Mirror.

He Yingcai was not there because the Tangled Silk Shadow Clan required summoning the basic bronze mirror·Evil Mirror before transforming it into a Landing Mirror for teleportation.

The procedure would naturally delay time.

"Zizzy~ zzzz~"

A flicker of lightning flashed by!

Huangfu Zhao pinched the neck of the Evil Mirror Demon, directly taking her away from the bronze mirror, and brought her ear close to his mouth with a battle roar:

"Hah!!"

"What's the matter, Lord Blood Skull, aren't you faster than me?" Lu Ran, relying on his Divine Weapon, continued to approach Blood Skull.

Blood Skull stood high in the air, with only a necklace around his neck, encumbering him with extremely heavy stone sculptures.

Blood Skull remained silent, only staring sinisterly at Lu Ran, then plummeting straight down.

The next instant, his eyes widened in surprise!

Behind him, more Divine Powers surged from the left and right.

"Whoosh~"

The Evil Shadow Guardian, with Wind Emperor and Tu He Tian descending from the Outer Realm, appeared directly in mid-air, once again surrounding Blood Skull.

"Snap" came a crisp sound!

Yan Shuangzi grasped Blood Skull's head, her enormous fingers locking firmly onto the top of his skull.

This time, it wasn't just the hair!
