Chapter 274 111 (Two Chapters Combined)

Ji Ran sat in the tavern, silently drinking his wine.

slam-la-

The old man stood beside Ji Ran, tilting the wine pot's spout, and the orange-yellow wine fell into the blue-and-white porcelain cup with a coiled dragon design.

This time, the old man brought out a vintage wine that he had stored for over ten years.

Ji Ran picked it up.

【Qingluan Aged Wine】(Ordinary)
Effects: After drinking, physical fitness is increased by 5%, and fire damage is reduced by 10%. Lasts for 4 minutes.

Note: This product is brewed with the blood of the Azure Phoenix and imbued with the fiery essence of the Azure Phoenix.

It is sweet and hot upon entry, with an unforgettable aftertaste.

It was as if my whole being had been awakened.

"good."

Ji Ran put down his wine glass and said, "Give me a few pounds."

The old man froze, then said, "This is the last pot. The Azure Phoenix hardly ever leaves the Sky Island anymore, making it very difficult to catch."

"The alien beasts that can now leave the Sky Island are all intelligent."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran asked, "Are there any thousand-year-old demons on the Sky Island now?"

"With feathers."

Ji Ran has been keeping a close eye on the quest to guide the way. Right now, they're only missing a feather from a thousand-year-old demon.

I now have a better understanding of road permits.

Some powerful beings that have died can be brought into the present world and condensed into a guide and a life tool, giving them a chance to live again.

The person who triggers the guide will be taken to a specific world, similar to a train ticket.

This activates the wayfinding task.

Once completed, one can control the road pass and reap enormous benefits. As for what one gains, it varies from person to person.

If it cannot be completed, the dormant will of the living being within the guide will awaken.

Ji Ran had never been in a hurry because he possessed the Three Evil Beasts. He had seen on the forums that some people with strong wills could fight against, coexist with, or even devour their innate demonic possession, Chen Ke.

Having the spiritual talent of the Three Evil Beasts, I should be able to find a way to deal with the affliction of my innate evil spirit.

Of course, it would be best if the problem could be solved. But Ji Ran found that in the last few worlds, he was completely unable to find the thousand-year-old feathered demon.

Somewhat weird.

"Have."

The old man nodded and said, "There are now eighty-one Sky Islands. Among them, the first sixteen are known as the 'Sixteen Ancestral Veins,' and each has a powerful demon living there who is at least two thousand years old."

"However, it is rumored that all the great demons on the sixteen ancestral lineages have long since died out; they are merely bluffing."

"Tsk."

Ji Ran listened, took a sip of wine, but looked towards the door.

A blood-red shadow was standing a few dozen meters away from him.

[Level 4 Taoist Priest: Possesses 23 Yin-Yang Coins.]

Ji Ran knew that the other person could also see her.

He was currently displayed as a Level 3 Luan Guest, which was seen as a tempting bait by these Level 2 Travelers.

At this moment, Shuanghua Honggun and Hoshiyama Rinna were both loitering about a hundred meters away from him. Both of them had just been on the list, and the traveler must have remembered them. If they stayed with him, he would be suspected of being accomplices.

With two second-tier units together, the bait itself becomes less appealing.

Ji Ran watched as the furtive, blood-red figure approached the restaurant.

He wasn't the only one.

Throughout the entire garbage-strewn city, there were dozens of figures, with more than a dozen people getting closer to him.

At this moment, there were already eleven people within a hundred meters of him.

With the markers in place, everyone seems to have X-ray vision; they can see each other and know that each other can see them.

For a moment, eleven people surrounded the tavern, but none of them took the initiative to make a move.

"We've been played..."

Ji Ran completely ignored the travelers around him at this moment.

They were both at the second tier, so he wasn't afraid at all. His physical strength had already surged to level 5, a qualitative leap!
If my strength coefficient was 1 at level 4, then my strength coefficient at level 5, supported by my major tendons, is now close to 50!

If the Wrathful Beast state is activated, the power that can be unleashed is comparable to that of the Three-Faced Buddha!

Looking at the bizarre situation, Ji Ran realized the problem.

The killing field is closed 24 hours a day, but the coordinates are displayed once every two hours for a period of one hour.

This means that this kind of see-through marking will remain.

They were forced to kill!
Under such a perspective-driven marking, who dares to rest?

After sealing off the area, they slaughtered until only 10% remained. Those who survived would inevitably complete the Killer's mission.

Slaying White Walkers will likely be the next killing field's mission.

Could it be... that they, the 10%, are being forced to fight against thousands of Otherworldly demons? The Otherworldly demons referred to here in the Yingzhou world are a general term for the fierce spirits and monsters of Japan's Warring States period.

Among those White Walkers, there might even be some top-tier demons!
If that's the case, how many of the remaining 10% will survive?

To leave, you need to unlock and complete more tasks.

Nourished by his primordial spirit, Ji Ran was particularly calm, his thoughts racing. The very existence of this killing field was filled with intense malice.

And those word games.

Behind this world mission lies a terrifying entity that wants all travelers to die here!
I wish that all three hundred-plus travelers' souls would return to the Heavenly Dao of Yingzhou!

This is definitely not a normal mission world!

I'm afraid that after going through all the hardships to complete everything, the final task will be another one that will inevitably lead to death.

It's a pity there are no open-world quests.

If you had completed 50% to get the Traveler's Token, you wouldn't be in such a passive position if you looked at the comments.

creak-

At this moment, Ji Ran saw that most of the crimson shadows around him had arrived. The rest were still some distance away.

"It's time to take action."

Ji Ran stared at the figure closest to him, behind the left wall.

With his blood-red robes billowing, Ji Ran drew his crimson sword.

Kunwu and the Cursed Blade were now stored in the storage space, one person and one sword, clean and efficient.

The crimson sword, brimming with energy, revealed a blood-red blade with condensed taotie patterns; the runes resembled a taotie exuding terrifying heat!

When fully powered, its power is no less than that of a magical artifact.

Like a crimson taotie sword!

Bang!
The next moment, Ji Ran's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only the shattered bluestone slabs and the collapsed and scattered table!

boom--

The wall of the restaurant in front of him suddenly exploded!

The blood-red figure instantly soared into the air like a falcon, fixing its gaze on a figure below!
"you!"

boom!
Pfft!

Before the traveler could react, Ji Ran's spine muscles twitched, and his whole body shot through the air like a taut bow!
The scalding hot Taotie sword pierced directly into the man's head. The hot, evaporating blood, along with the charred skin, fell to the ground without a sound.

You have gained 3% experience and 10% spiritual power.

The abundant spiritual energy filled Ji Ran's body, making him feel refreshed!
Inch of space!

His figure flashed by in an instant!

"Um!?"

A traveler lurking in the opposite pavilion was terrified!
But Ji Ran didn't give him any time to react.

"Kazekiri!"

boom!
The Taotie Sword stirred up a hot wind, which condensed into a scorching wind blade!
With level 5 physical strength, every move can be condensed into wind!
Click!

The traveler in front of him changed his expression drastically!
A heavy longsword appeared in his hand!

when!
The terrifying force knocked the traveler to his knees!
boom!
The wind shear was obstructed and exploded, tearing half of the traveler's cheek apart!

"Ahhh!"

Just as the traveler was about to retaliate, he saw Ji Ran's other hand flash with a bright light, instantly severing the head!
You have gained 3% experience and 10% spiritual power.

In an instant, two of the travelers in sight were killed almost instantly. The remaining ones turned and fled at the same time!

Regardless of the circumstances, it shows that this Level 3 person with immense wealth has the means to instantly kill a Level 2 person!
Ji Ran sneered.

He gripped the Kunwu longsword in his left hand and the Taotie red sword in his right, leaping and chasing like a bird in flight!

Shuanghua Honggun and Hoshiyama Rinna also began to cooperate in hunting down those fleeing travelers!
At this moment, Ji Ran was enjoying the slaughter!
It also recklessly devours power! Status: Man Will Conquer Nature: [5.02→5.07]!
[Level: 3 (44% → 50%)]!
The first tier is a fundamental upgrade and transformation of the human body, like laying the foundation. It's for future advancements and leaps in strength. The increase in strength during this period isn't significant; for example, when Ji Ran was at tier 2, he could still hold his own against a peak tier 3 Red Phoenix with the help of a Wraith Beast.

But the second tier is different; every level of improvement in the second tier is a qualitative change!
If Ji Ran had been level 4 and Hong Luan had been level 5 at that time, he would have had no chance of survival!
now.

Facing the traveler who had not yet recovered his spiritual power, Ji Ran almost completely crushed him!

With a sweep of swords and blades, five more people were killed in an instant!
[5.07 → 5.19]!
[Level: 3 (50% → 65%)]!
Ji Ran's height uncontrollably increased by at least 5 centimeters. His body dimensions also began to increase. Without the suppression of the primordial spirit, this increase in power, even for a life-stealing human, brought about an uncontrollable mutation—giantification.

This change is abnormal.

In the world of Southern Han, Jiang Rao, and many other martial arts masters, possess formidable strength, yet their bodies do not become superhuman.

Even when Ji Ran had his primordial spirit suppressing his body, his physical condition didn't change much.

This is the side effect of one's own primordial spirit being unable to suppress the belief that human will can conquer nature.

However, compared to the power gained, this drawback is negligible in the current moment of slaughter.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Ji Ran looked behind him.

There were four remaining travelers. Three of them had already been killed by the combined efforts of the two Red Sticks on the outer perimeter and Hoshiyama Rinna!
The remaining one is also basically doomed.

Once the two men with red sticks killed the first one and obtained the spiritual power, victory was already assured.

But now!

A blood-red shadow vanished in an instant.

Then Shuanghua Honggun and Hoshiyama Rinna suddenly retreated!

A hundred meters can be covered in the blink of an eye!

"grass!"

"run!!!"

At this moment, a deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on half of Shuanghua Honggun's body. In Hoshiyama Rinna's hand, a ghostly hand gripped a mirror, facing directly behind her!

Cloud Mirror!
Ji Ran's eyes flickered slightly; these two had clearly recovered their spiritual power. Even so, one of them was seriously injured, and they escaped only thanks to the Three-Faced Buddha's life-sustaining artifact?
now!

Rinna Hoshiyama looked at the three relatively intact corpses on the ground, then flew away!

Nue cut across the corpse, his hands forming a hand seal!

"rise!"

boom!
The three corpses suddenly stood up!

The Corpse Maker's Professional Skills!

Summon the spirit!

At this moment, the three corpses were clearly being controlled by Rinna Hoshiyama and immediately rushed backward!

The next moment, a brown figure clad in gleaming silver armor crashed through a pile of ruins!
bass!
A blade of light, like a raging dragon, or a river cut across the land, instantly tore open a spray of blood!
The three second-tier corpse puppets were instantly cut in two with a single slash!

boom!
A small, hairy monster stopped in front of the three of them.

This is a lynx.

Its brownish-gray fur, soaked with blood, clung tightly to its bulging muscles, shimmering with a dark red sheen. Blood dripped down its strong limbs, spreading a small, deeper stain on its paws.

It wore chainmail and gripped a longsword. The blade was thick and stained with blood. The blood groove was already full, and dark red scabs snaked along the spine of the blade.

Its back was slightly arched, and its shoulder blades were taut and raised under its wet fur and chainmail, like a powerful bow ready to be drawn.

It stood there, like a living, dripping murder weapon.

"monster?"

"It's a corpse puppet, an extremely powerful corpse puppet!"

Rinna Hoshiyama's eyes trembled as she said, "It's that level 6 corpse retriever!"

All three of them saw a small, blood-red figure standing on a roof ridge several dozen meters away.

Level 6 Corpse Master

"Should I go and kill her?"

Ji Ran could sense that the level 6 corpse craftsman's physical body did not have the same oppressive aura as the Three-Faced Buddha; her strength lay in her primordial spirit!

"No."

Rinna Hoshiyama immediately shook her head and said, "The second-tier corpse crafter's professional skill is 'Divine Intervention'."

"This skill allows you to merge with a powerful spirit, transforming your spiritual power into physical strength."

"A second-tier corpse crafter is no longer fragile."

Can you perform a séance now?

"Yes, but it will last for a very short time."

Rinna Hoshiyama immediately shook her head and said, "We can't beat them. A level 6 corpse craftsman, if the spirit of the deity is strong enough, can reach the peak of the second tier in terms of combat power."

"Unless they are fellow travelers of the same level with powerful spirit pets, no other profession can match them."

"Okay, but..."

"This beast doesn't seem to want us to escape."

Ji Ran spoke calmly, sheathing the Taotie sword in his hand, and leaving the black box and the Taotie sword behind him.

He only held Kunwu.

The lynx stared intently at the three people in front of it, its intense killing intent locked on them. It would attack immediately if the three made any move.

"Hmph~ Hmph~~"

At that moment, a small figure hopped and skipped onto the rooftop not far away.

boom!
The figure leaped and landed directly on the eaves of the restaurant next to Ji Ran and the others.

The girl had slightly fuzzy hair that reached her shoulders, and a pretty face, but she had suture scars that looked like centipedes.

The blue t-shirt was slightly oversized and swayed in the breeze.

"Take out all the money and resources you have."

111 smiled as she looked at the three of them, but her gaze lingered on Hoshiyama Rinna for a moment before she asked, "From the Hoshiyama family?"

"Yes."

Rinna Hoshiyama did not deny it.

"Hmm, what a pity."

Yao Yao Ling tapped her chin with her fingertip and said, "You're worthless here. Just kill you."

"Run away!"

Rinna Hoshiyama whispered, "I tried to block it with Nue-giri—"

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Ran stepped forward.

hum!
A dark red aura instantly filled the entire street!
The black and red light churned, the metal on the ground melted into scorched earth, and cracks appeared on the ground from which flames shaped like human faces flowed.

Black and reddish ash drifted in the air.

"Expand!"

"Domain of the Great Hell of Torment!"

At this moment, Ji Ran felt his power expanding infinitely!

The power multiplier of the Wrathful Beast will increase with its strength! After breaking through level 5, the Wrathful Beast's limit has already surpassed the normal level 6 power!

The 70% spiritual power acquisition and terrifying physical strength gave Ji Ran enough confidence!

"You guys escape first, head to the garbage dump!"

As Ji Ran was speaking, he saw Shuanghua Honggun exhale and walk to his side, saying, "Pah!"

"We've recovered our spiritual power now, so if we're going to fight, let's fight together."

"If you lose, that treasure in the green bag will be a freebie for her. She'll need it for fishing later."

Upon hearing this, and seeing that Hoshiyama Rinna was holding Nuekiri and showed no sign of backing down, Ji Ran simply smiled softly and said, "Alright."

Within his domain, he could ensure that these two individuals were unaffected by the rules of the Furnace of Eight Sufferings and Anger.

"Closed domain".

"Level 3, a genius?"

"But what kind of strength could be achieved by forcibly unleashing it?"

Yao Yao Ling looked surprised, but stretched and chuckled, "Unfold!"

"Domain: Changgui Ridge".

hum!
Beneath the scorched earth, hillsides, verdant ridges, and dark forests emerge.

Ji Ran and the other two seemed to have instantly found themselves in a vast, desolate mountain range! The dark red hellish dust was still there, but a crescent moon had squeezed into the enclosed space.

"Territory encroachment!!"
