The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 550 Goodbye!
"Hmph, you are nothing but illusions, your strength is only one-tenth of what it used to be. If it were your true forms standing here, I would be a little afraid of you. Now, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose."

It looked like the withered old man on the other side was about to unleash a powerful attack.

Yunran glanced at her new clothes and silently took two steps back to avoid getting covered in dust when the fight broke out.

After a loud bang, the spot where Yunran had been standing was now a huge crater, with dust flying everywhere.

Yunran was immediately glad that she had the foresight to do so; otherwise, wearing dirty clothes would have been very uncomfortable.

The snakes, insects, and rodents that had been hiding in underground burrows were now exposed again because the ground had been overturned.

At that moment, their few remaining intelligences felt as if the sky had fallen.

[Aaaaaah, these humans are terrifying! They even wrecked our cave!]

[Help! Everyone, run!]

Quick, everyone hide behind that ferocious woman!

Yunran: ...

No, I already said she's a ruthless woman, so why are these guys still trying to hide behind her?

The old man and the phantom on the other side, who were fighting fiercely, had no time to deal with these snakes, insects, and rats that were not even as good as ants.

They managed to hide behind Yunran without any trouble.

The withered old man looked at the countless wounds on his hands. Although they were not fatal, these wounds made him feel ashamed.

He had never been so embarrassed in all these years. Now, just a few phantoms that had lost most of their strength had caused him such a huge loss.

When a person starts to get angry, it means that their reason and emotions are about to get out of control.

The withered old man's sinister eyes glared fiercely at Yun Ran: "I truly underestimated you!"

As he spoke, the withered old man threw a blasting talisman directly into the sky.

The speed was so fast that Yun Ran didn't even have time to react; it was clear that the other party was calling for reinforcements.

The old monster who has lived to this age has always lived by the motto of crushing everything and everyone that stands in his way, no matter the cost.

With a loud "boom," a crane totem appeared in the sky.

The old man had originally planned to monopolize the Dao lineage, but now he only wanted to tear Yunran to pieces.

Yun Ran frowned slightly. She could manage to hold her own against one old monster like this, but if there were more, she might easily be overwhelmed.

The phantoms were scattered several times and were noticeably weaker than before. They weren't truly fearless; a hint of apprehension appeared in their eyes.

One of the phantoms looked back at Yunran, clearly wanting Yunran to unseal a few more of her companions so that they would have a greater chance of success.

Of course, it would be even better if Yunran were injured in the process. In that case, with more of them, they could counterattack Yunran and perhaps even gain their freedom.

"return!"

Yunran didn't lose her temper. Seeing that the opponent had already used their ultimate move and started calling for reinforcements, she followed suit and unleashed her own counterattack without any regard for the consequences.

Releasing these phantom images was simply because they were difficult to kill and allowed Yun Ran to probe the opponent's strength as much as possible; that was Yun Ran's true purpose. Now that the goal has been achieved, the function of these demonic phantom images has been fulfilled.

The phantom paused for a moment. They were warmongers to begin with, and they had just gotten into the heat of the fight when they were forced to retreat. Humph, not happy! These guys from Qingfeng Temple are always so calm and collected, so boring!
But they were still very fast, and flew back directly, obediently returning to the sealing paper. Their rebellious nature had long been worn down.

After putting away the sealed booklet, Yun Ran smiled slightly. She had already decided where to lead these people.

"You not only underestimate us, but you also overestimate yourself."

As soon as Yunran finished speaking, she drew a powerful attack talisman from a distance and threw it out.

When the withered old man saw Yun Ran drawing talismans with his bare hands, his eyes widened in astonishment. He had thought he had seen through Yun Ran's talent, but he hadn't expected this...

They could only try to defend themselves, but it was clearly too late.

With a loud bang, the attack talisman broke through the old man's defenses, not only sending him flying a great distance, but also tearing his clothes apart.

His once meticulously styled hair was now disheveled, making him look exactly like an old beggar who had been starving for days and nights and had been beaten badly by the roadside.

"You will die!"

Such harsh words sounded like nothing to Yun Ran.

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see. Bye-bye!"

Yunran immediately jumped up, and the little paper doll quickly carried Yunran away at the maximum speed that Yunran's body could withstand, flying off in the direction that Yunran had already chosen.

The withered old man watched helplessly as Yun Ran flew away, and his harsh words from before suddenly felt like a resounding slap in the face.

Yunran's every word and action precisely stepped on the old man's minefield.

If at the beginning, the old man only wanted to seize Yun Ran's lineage, her magical artifacts and treasures, and eventually refine Yun Ran into a blood pill...

Now, he would rather give up the Blood Pill, and even the treasures of the Dao lineage. All he wants is to skin Yun Ran alive, imprison and torture her soul for eternity, and make her regret her past ignorance.

The withered old man looked in the direction Yun Ran had left and sneered, "No matter where you run, you can't escape my grasp."

As he spoke, the old man tore off his tattered clothes and chased after them.

As for the snakes, insects, rats, and ants that had been hiding behind Yun Ran, they looked up tremblingly as the humans who had just destroyed their home all left.

At this moment, they felt incredibly fortunate that these humans didn't take them seriously; otherwise, they would have been wiped out today. They were truly grateful to God for his mercy.

However, after this battle, they have decided to completely overturn their ancestral teachings. Humans may be delicious, but they are really dangerous. They want to reform, and their ancestral teachings from now on will be to avoid humans as soon as possible!

The other old monsters, who were still wandering around Haicheng like headless flies, were all puzzled when they saw the signal from the withered old man inviting them.

"He Tu has found the treasure? No, that old dog has always been greedy. It would be fine if he didn't scheme against us, but he's inviting us to share the treasure. There must be a trap. We can't go!"

"Looking this way, it's actually towards the Death Mountain. No wonder that old man was willing to share his treasure. It seems that old man is in trouble."

"Yes, of course we'll go. But we're not going to help him. We'll make our move when He Tu can't hold on any longer. We want the treasure, and we'll take He Tu's things too!"
