All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 179 Fire Ignites a Tremor
Under the cover of night, the fire-resistant cloth billowed, blocking out large amounts of rainwater.

But the howling wind still caused large sections of the skulls on Ji Ran's robes to crumble! Once all the skulls crumbled, the cold wind blowing on him would damage his primordial spirit!

But it will be soon!

Once inside the cabin, there will be no threat from wind and rain! Now I understand the meaning of the existence of the guardian deities!

The Yihehui (Boxer Rebellion) has always regarded guardian deities as the upper limit of spiritual cultivation. They conceal their physical bodies within these guardian deities, sensing their power and continuously evolving towards becoming them!
This is why every senior disciple's skills are comparable to those of a guardian deity! Because they are learning from the guardian deities!
but!

In this way, the guardian deities have locked down the limits of human potential! Everyone's comprehension reaches its limit, which is the level and specialization of the guardian deities, and it is difficult to break through! This rigid utilization of spiritual entities is absolutely no match for the completely demonized Japanese pirates and the Westerners who combine alchemy and finance!
Within the imperial court, there must also be such methods of advancement! Similar to the specialization of abilities, strength can be "transcended"!
Only ordinary Han Chinese are confined to the upper limit of ordinary level 3! No matter who it is, their achievements and upper limit are locked the moment they obtain a guardian deity.

Unable to contend with those "super-level" individuals!
The imperial court, of course, had no reason to worry.

But the ways of the demons and the methods of alchemy are nothing but unorthodox and heretical practices!
One possessed by an evil spirit, whose final fate is nothing more than being devoured! The other, separated by alchemical substances, can unleash formidable combat power, but it is merely a facade.

The primordial spirit I have now condensed is the true path! It is the most orthodox, top-tier power belonging to this world!

whoosh-

Ji Ran's primordial spirit traversed the bay, and the warship before him became increasingly clear and distinct!

The orange-yellow lights created a continuous mist, like a pack of ferocious wolves opening their eyes.

The massive hull of the Frederick III bobbed on the waves, its black and gold paint making it resemble a sea king under the cover of night, with all its cannons already engaged!

Ahead of it were the Centurion, the Sable, and the Atago! The three gunboats formed a triangle, protecting the command ship!

now!

At the very front, the Centurion cleaved through the inky black waves, seawater and foam pouring onto the deck! Steam turbines roared in the downpour, and thick smoke billowing from the smokestacks was torn to shreds by the gale!

The naval personnel stood beside the turrets, all with serious expressions. The previous surprise attack had put the entire fleet on high alert!
Behind the three main gunboats and the command ship were more than twenty warships of all kinds!
Ji Ran's gaze swept over the Frederick III, his eyes filled with amusement.

Now, all the super-level beings are concentrated on the Frederick III, right? The reason I left my body earlier was to try and see if I could kill the Allied Commander-in-Chief in a surprise attack.

Unfortunately, the commander-in-chief was accompanied by an extremely powerful alchemical hunter who wielded a scalpel, and he was unable to kill the commander instantly with the hunter's help.

So he turned around and killed the commander of the Oshom Empire.

In front of the Commander-in-Chief and the other four commanders!
A single thought can traverse the vast ocean, and a head can be taken from a thousand miles away!

This is the power of the primordial spirit! At this moment, many super-level beings must have gathered on the command ship to prevent another assassination attempt!

However, my goal this time is to delay!

“What is that!!”

A captain in a white naval uniform gripped a brass telescope tightly, raindrops pounding against the lens, blurring everything in front of him!
But a sharp red line blurred everything in the telescope, as if a red dragon had burst forth from a raging storm!
"Fire! Fire!!"

At that moment, the captain didn't have time to think any further!

On that vast, empty sea, something so strikingly red rushed towards us. We should shoot it down first!

Bang bang bang! !

On the deck, several sailors were firing their rifles at the red figure!
The fireproof cloth twisted and turned under the gunfire! The tough fabric wasn't torn, but was simply flung around by the impact of the bullets!
When a bullet strikes a fireproof cloth, every spark generated by the friction is absorbed by the cloth.

"Keep going!"

The captain waved the flag and continued to roar!
But he found that the soldiers standing on the deck were all frozen in place!
boom!
Boom! !
The next moment, all the soldiers fell to the ground!
Bloody holes appeared on their foreheads!
"Damn it!"

"Watch out!! Someone's coming up!"

The captain suddenly grabbed a pocket watch from his hand! He saw a red ribbon fluttering with a gray light, instantly slaughtering all the gunners on the deck!

"Do not!!"

The captain roared and charged toward the red ribbon in the sky!
He leaped from the watchtower! His eyes were fixed on the red silk! The pocket watch in his hand exuded a rotten smell, and the pattern of the watch face appeared on his entire arm!

Pfft!

His eyes went from anger to blankness and disbelief!
As he fell, a sharp giant axe appeared out of nowhere!

The axe appeared so suddenly that there was no time for anyone to react! The captain was cleaved in two as if he had jumped on himself!
Bang!
The body crashed onto the deck, and only then did the fire-resistant cloth flutter up and rise into the air!
Ordinary people cannot see the primordial spirit.

Although this captain is not an ordinary person, but a level 1 hunter, he is not fully integrated with external objects and therefore cannot see them.

Wow!
On the warship, a dense chorus of footsteps echoed from all directions! After all, this was the flagship of the Inglige, and most of the navy was here!

Without any hesitation, Ji Ran crashed into the cabin!

Bang!
The Spirit Axe cleaved through the partition and headed straight for the area below the deck!
Battleships prioritize protecting their ammunition depots, propulsion systems, and command towers! These areas are heavily armored, and even if you wanted to break through them, it would take a lot of effort!

However, no one pays special attention to protecting the boiler room.

Bang!
As Ji Ran arrived at the boiler room, the deafening noise and strong smell of sulfur caused nearly a hundred stokers to look up sharply.

But in their eyes, all that appeared before them was a fluttering red silk cloth.

Whoosh!
The fireproof cloth suddenly shot out, instantly engulfing the entire boiler room and the flames in all the boilers!
Once the Fire-resistant Cloth leaves Kunwu, it cannot unleash the Wildfire spell. However, it can absorb and release flames!
His own primordial spirit was not yet capable of lifting ordinary physical objects into flight for combat.

Fire-resistant cloth, Heavenly Demon Thorn, Spirit Rhinoceros Axe, and Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle belong to the category of magical treasures.

In particular, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle can be integrated into the body, just like the Spirit Rhinoceros Axe.

If I only carry the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle and the Spirit Rhinoceros Axe, I can pass through walls!

The reason I couldn't pass through the wall this time was because I was carrying the Heavenly Demon Thorn and the Fire-Resistant Cloth. I could control their primordial spirits, but I couldn't absorb them.

At that moment, Ji Ran turned and left.

He has already gathered the fire he wanted.

slam-la-

The rain started to intensify.

Using the fireproof cloth as cover, Ji Ran rushed into the adjacent deck again!
The steel keel of the HMS Chicken creaked in the storm, and the Prussian eagle emblem on the bridge gleamed from the seawater.

Countless soldiers were still gazing at the Centurion in the distance, unaware of the reason for the riot.

boom!
But the next moment!
The captain suddenly pushed open the command room door! He was still holding the telephone cord in his hand!
Before he could even regain his footing, he roared at the soldiers below, "Enemy attack!!!"

boom!
At that very moment, in the most densely packed area of ​​the crowd, a massive blood axe exploded like a whirlwind in the midst of the throng!

"Do not!!!"

Dozens of sailors were cut down in the blink of an eye, their blood pooling on the deck! The Heavenly Demon Thorn shot out with a roar, aiming straight for the captain's face!

boom!
At that moment, a burly figure leaped from the Centurion! Before he even landed, the hand cannon blasted a ripple of air towards the Heavenly Demon Thorn!
click!
The Heavenly Demon Thorn was shaken and tilted, piercing through the door frame behind the captain!

It's Admiral William!

At this moment, his body was covered in black rose patterns, and terrifying power permeated his entire body!

The steel deck was deeply dented by his leaps!
This guy!
He's at least on par with Murakami Shinso! Or even better!
I can't afford to be delayed right now!

Seeing that a high-level hunter was approaching, Ji Ran let go of the captain, flicked his fireproof cloth, and rushed towards the boiler room of the Chicken Sable!
"Don't let him escape!!"

Although William could see the primordial spirit, he could only see a small, blood-red figure in the air, with no clear facial features.

At that moment, he shoved the captain over and headed towards Ji Ran!

His face turned ashen!

Each of the three flagships had a Super-Tier being left behind. Even though his reaction was fast enough, he was still a step too late!
When William rushed into the rift that Ji Ran had torn open, his face turned ashen!

"Damn!!"

"Who is he? And what does he want?!"

A hole the size of a human head appeared in the wall, leading layer upon layer into the depths of the deck. But he couldn't catch up!
After the boilers of the Chicken Mink were swept away again, only the Atago remained!

This largest and most powerful warship of the Japanese pirates is already on high alert!
The slender warship pierced the waves like a samurai sword, its black smoke billowing from its funnels, pressed against the sea by the rain. A dense swarm of Japanese pirates, guns drawn, aimed at the direction of the commotion; the artillerymen had already loaded their shells, turned the ship around, and positioned themselves towards the Centurion!
As long as I appear, I will inevitably be pierced by countless bullets!

The primordial spirit is immune to ordinary physical attacks, but the flames from guns and cannons can still harm it.

This time, Ji Ran used the Fireproof Cloth and the Heavenly Demon Thorn as bait, directly nailing them to the mast of the Atago!

It looked like a red flag waving over the Japanese pirates' gunboats!
then!

Before the Japanese pirates could react, Ji Ran, carrying the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, rushed to the densely packed group of Japanese pirates!

At this moment, no one has seen him yet.

Only one ghost noticed.

Behind the captain, a ferocious blue-faced demon stared intently at him with pupil-less eyes. Its sparse hair hung down behind the captain, who wore a mustache.
A flash of blood red appeared in Ji Ran's eyes!
The blue demon, who was about to slap the captain, immediately trembled and dared not move!

At that moment, everyone looked up because the fireproof cloth nailed to the flagpole had triggered the raging flames!

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Fire! Where did this fire come from?!"

"Do not!!!"

"It can't be put out! How come this fire can't be put out?!"

……

The more people moved, the more frenzied the flames became, enveloping everyone on the deck!

The well-prepared army crumbled instantly!
At this moment, Ji Ran did not hesitate at all. There should also be a super-class being on this ship!
He could already see William, holding a hand cannon, and Hilde, dressed in leather, leaping towards them from the Centurion amidst a cloud of green plague mist!

Whoosh!
The fire-resistant cloth roll, wrapped around the Heavenly Demon Thorn and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, rushed into the boiler room amidst the burning flames!
When Ji Ran extinguished the boilers of the last main gunboat, the three gunboats leading the way came to a complete halt!

It blocked the bay in front of the Frederick III!
boom! ! !
At that moment, the Frederick III also collided with the stern of the Centurion ahead!
Even with the speed reduced to a minimum, the impact still caused a great commotion on the entire Frederick III!
The screams of steel drowned out everything! The metallic roar that pierced eardrums sparked a shower of sparks!
The ram of the Frederick III slammed into the port side of the Centurion!
The main turret was twisted thirty or forty degrees by the impact, and the gun barrel, like a broken spear, slanted into the dark waves!
Hey!
A red ribbon fell from the broken turret.

Then, a blood-red figure suddenly swelled up in the rain!

Dragons and snakes dance on the ground!

In his primordial spirit state, Ji Ran felt as if a layer of killing intent had solidified around his body, increasing his resistance to wind and rain!

At the same time, a surging power was also surging within the ethereal soul body of the primordial spirit!
really!

The guardian deity's skills are best channeled through the primordial spirit! My own power, under the influence of the dancing dragon and snake on the ground, has reached the peak of level 3!
Moreover, it runs smoothly and without the sluggishness of the first time!

Fireproof cloth fluttered around him, protecting him from the rain.

Bang bang bang!
Three figures landed not far behind Ji Ran.

But when William saw Ji Ran's appearance, his expression changed drastically. He suddenly reached out and stopped the two of them, whispering, "Stop!"

"It was him! He killed the village entrance man with a single blow!"

Upon hearing this, the two people beside him immediately stopped in their tracks!

The village entrance's forces are no weaker than theirs! They could easily wipe out the village entrance, and they could easily wipe out them too!

On the Frederick III, Vasily stood outside the command room, walked down the stairs, and looked at the figure on the broken tower ahead.

A man in military uniform holding a scalpel stood quietly beside him.

On the deck in front of Vasily, there wasn't a single ordinary soldier. Instead, there stood a dozen or so soldiers dressed in various uniforms!
Super level!

Ji Ran's eyes narrowed as he glanced at the dozen or so people standing on the deck.
Beside the command center stood dozens of officers in crisp military uniforms! Their auras were all at least level 3!
Under the protection of these dozens of Level 3 guards, the remaining four commanders in the central command room dared not come out at all!
The old man is really afraid of dying.

At that moment, Vasid looked at Ji Ran, took a button and fastened it to his collar, and said, "You are very strong."

"Give up Dagu Port, and I can make you a king across China!"

The buttons on the old man's collar gleamed, making his voice sound clear and loud.

Ji Ran stood on the tower, and just a dozen meters in front of him was the deck of the Frederick III.

There is an old Chinese saying.

Ji Ran spoke softly, showing no fear despite being surrounded by enemies: "The people of China are destined by Heaven to live in peace. How can barbarians possibly govern us?"

Ji Ran suddenly revealed a sinister smile!
"Who do you think you are, trying to tear apart whose territory?!"

boom! ! !
The murderous aura, dark red and solid, was so intense it was almost tangible!
The imposing aura that rose from the ground almost solidified into black and red threads, instantly stunning all the ordinary soldiers around it into unconsciousness!
Those who did not faint all witnessed this horrific scene!
All the ordinary soldiers fell to the ground with a thud, like wheat being harvested! The blood-red killing intent seemed to transform into an unparalleled ferocious beast!
It was like a fierce tiger, its bloody jaws wide open, pressing against a person's forehead!
Bang!
A brooch on Wasid's body broke!
He immediately knelt down on the ground!
But a pen in his pocket emitted a faint blue light, which made him stand up shakily once again.

But the next moment, the old man's gloomy expression suddenly went out of control!
Terrified!

"Stop him!!!"

boom! ! !
A terrifying tremor shook the deck of the Frederick III!
The blood-red figure crashed down, creating a dent that was half a foot deep!

boom!
Ji Ran's figure shot off with a roar!
Terrifying spiritual energy surged from all the Super-Rank beings! All sorts of defensive measures enveloped Vasid!
The officer wielding the scalpel, who had been closely protecting Vasid, along with several powerful naval admirals, emerged from the ranks like sharp knives and charged towards Ji Ran!
really!

He still wanted to behead him! Everyone else rallied around Wasid!
The nearly one hundred Level 3 Marines behind him immediately filled the gap around Vasid as the powerful warriors charged!

Inch of space!

Ji Ran's figure suddenly drew closer!

This reckless charge resulted in countless attacks landing on him! It also drew almost everyone to his and Vasid's side!

The long sword cleaved through the Dharma form, but it did nothing to harm Ji Ran's primordial spirit!

But gunfire and magic still burned holes in his dharma image!

boom!
The next moment, something completely unexpected happened!
Ji Ran suddenly disappeared!

Just as all the powerful figures rushed towards him, Ji Ran's figure floated in mid-air!

At the same time, his figure shrunk to only one foot in size and stepped onto the Heavenly Demon Thorn.

"Ah."

Ji Ran's lips curled into a mocking smile. The dense soul power emanating from the shrunken cloth, supporting the fireproof cloth, shot towards the command room, which was completely undefended but still occupied by the other allied commanders!

whoosh-

Flame patterns began to appear on the fire-resistant cloth in the air, and crimson flames emerged from the charred spots! In an instant, it transformed into a roaring fire dragon!!
"Do not!!!"

"Return to defense!"

Wasid's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with horror!

Those are all the commanders!!

He's dead! Something terrible is going to happen!
But above the sky, amidst the gloom and rain, Ji Ran's voice was filled with murderous intent, chilling and bone-chilling!

"Move, and you'll die!"

Those surrounding Vasid, especially the dozen or so Super-Rank individuals, suddenly slowed their pace!
That person is not a threat!

If he were to actually go to the command center, Vasily might really die.

In that instant of hesitation, Huoshanbu had already rushed into the command room!

All the boiler flames of the three main warships suddenly erupted in a small command room!
boom--

The terrifying flames instantly vaporized everything around them!
Orange-red flames burst forth, their tips blazing white as they condensed on the fireproof cloth, licking the surrounding steel warships!

The night was shrouded in mist.

A crimson fire lotus tumbled in the center of the dark, steel warship! A streak of blood-red light shot into the sky, sweeping across the battlefield with unbridled abandon!
