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

Chapter 385 Tiger and Rhinoceros Ridge

The appraiser!
Ji Ran was no stranger to this name. He himself possessed the qualification to be the master of the Southern Han world and had obtained it by completing 100% of the dragon extermination.

The Judge of Heaven is the being who controls the Heavenly Dao. Ji Ran was aware of the connection between the two.

However, the Master of Appraisal only granted him the ability to return to this world and more access to item exchanges; he was far from being a "Master of Appraisal" like Xu Fu, who controlled the entire world.

Unexpectedly, by killing a divine general, he obtained the qualification of a 1% master appraiser!

Your current mastery sequence is: 3301.

[1% chance of becoming a certified expert: You have obtained the status "All under Heaven are of one mind"]

[This status effect can be cast once per day/night, and currently lasts for 1 minute.]

……

【warn! 】

Before Ji Ran could take a closer look, Chanyin issued a warning!
The blood of the god rose and manifested as small characters—

[The divine general's spirit is about to return to the Thunder Department!]

[Once the god returns, the alert level will immediately rise to 100%!]

[Reaching 100% alert level will trigger a brand new event: The Nine Divisions Exterminate Demons!]

A divine general?

He is still alive!

Ji Ran's heart skipped a beat! He absolutely could not let that divine general return!!!

hum!
Ji Ran's eyes flashed with blood-red light, and from his primordial spirit perspective, he immediately saw a phantom of incense rising to a height of a hundred feet!
boom!
A ripple of thunderous energy appeared in the sky, and a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed as it guided the thunder general back to its place!

Thunderous strikes, his return to power is imminent!

The god general also noticed Ji Ran's gaze at this moment. He looked down at his feet with a disdainful expression and a hint of mockery.

The voice was faint, ethereal, and cool.

"One hundred and eighty years ago, I was Qing Kezi, the head of the Shangqing Sect."

"I'll give you three days to go north and join my Shangqing Sect. I guarantee you won't be reborn as an animal in your next life, and you'll be reborn into my sect!"

This divine general is immortal even after death!
Ji Ran narrowed his eyes, knowing he absolutely couldn't let the tiger return to the mountain! Especially that so-called Thunder Department, which harbored an unusually strange hostility towards him.

Ji Ran looked at the divine general but did not immediately touch the lightning. Instead, he subtly made a hand seal under his robes and said calmly, "Oh?"

"Then how do I go to pay my respects at the mountain gate?"

Whoosh!
The divine general raised his hand, and a cyan token suddenly flew down!
Bang!
Ji Ran reached out and caught it; it emanated a rich spiritual energy. It was a wooden token with a hollowed-out phoenix relief on it and the character "Ke" in the center.

“If you present this token, the Shangqing Sect will treat you with the respect due to a sect leader.”

"I will only give you three days. After three days, the Nine Departments will subdue the demon, and you will surely die."

"Entering my sect is like giving you a foothold, sparing you from the punishment of being a pig or a dog! Entering my Taoist sect in your next life will also be a way to atone for your sins."

"Tsk."

Ji Ran looked at the token in his hand. This thing could be very useful.

He looked up, his gaze slightly mocking as he looked at the divine general, and said, "Atonement?"

"What is my fault?"

The next moment, robes billowed beneath the blood-red armor, and Ji Ran made a hand seal, whispering, "Stand upright without shadow!"

boom--!
The primordial spirit in the shrine immediately crashed into his body!

"Chirp!"

A burst of blazing spiritual energy illuminated the primordial spirit, startling the ever-calm Golden Crow into flapping its wings and taking flight!

Ji Ran felt as if a sun had shone within his body, instantly radiating light and dissolving his physical body into a pure Yang primordial spirit!

Whoosh!
The next moment, Ji Ran's figure surpassed the thunder and appeared directly in front of the thunder general!

"die!"

The moment the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, draped in a blood-red necklace, appeared before the divine general, he unleashed a flying sword strike!
"How brave!"

The god was startled! He glared angrily!

It's too late to get back to your original position! You have to block this sword!
boom!
Behind the deity, a blurry temple gate appeared, with the three characters "Exorcism Division" faintly visible on it, written in a flamboyant style. From the cracks in the gate, thick incense smoke billowed out.

At the same time, a surge of merit rose within the divine general's body!
The merits, like wisps of gray-gold smoke rising, displayed a revolving imagery at their center—observing vegetarianism and precepts, healing the world, spearing rebels, striking down traitors with lightning, vanquishing demons in Nanshan, bringing rain to three provinces, cultivating the mind for a hundred years… Each strand of merit, like a skeleton, solidified and supported the incense offerings! It allowed the gods to restore the remnant soul and divine consciousness to their former cultivation!

Puff-!
However, the Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo did not hesitate at all and instantly pierced through the God General's head!
"You've inherited this sin!"

Inside the mountain temple, he had harvested a wave of karmic energy, and now he unleashed it all without reservation! The scarlet karmic energy transformed into karmic fire, acting as a catalyst to ignite the merits on the divine general's body!
Among them, the original incense offerings of spearing the rebels, eliminating demons in Nanshan, and saving the three provinces with rain suddenly turned into raging karmic fire!
Burn your soul from the inside out!
"Well--"

Karmic fire erupted from the pierced head of the god, his eyes wide with resentment and disbelief!
Bear!
The blazing fire instantly incinerated it into shimmering fragments.

He had already been killed by Ji Ran, but a wisp of his divine consciousness remained. The Dao True level Heavenly Demon Sword, combined with the ability to summon karmic fire, directly annihilated his last remaining soul!

Swish-!
As the god struck, the lightning in the sky vanished with a deafening roar.

Ji Ran's primordial spirit departed in a single thought!
A wisp of blood-red color emerged from the golden primordial spirit, and the pure Yang body became increasingly solid. When the blood-red primordial spirit completely departed, Ji Ran's physical body had already returned to normal.

"call!"

Ji Ran's expression was clear and bright. With a single strike, Cheng Nie severed the karmic hindrance within him. At this moment, he felt his heart was clear and his will was firm.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Ji Ran froze, and he abruptly took down the shrine!
One after another, special golden and cyan soul flowers bloomed! During his previous battle, the Earth Dance Dragon Serpent transformed into a two-zhang giant, and the shrine was just like a small bag behind him, which he didn't even notice!

Ji Ran touched it and saw the cicada sound notification.

【Merit Flower】, 【Talent Flower】!
As the god's soul dissipated, the black tree solidified and harvested his merits and talents!
Three Merit Soul Flowers and five Talent Soul Flowers!
Ji Ran didn't check immediately, but instead used Instant Step to arrive directly at the village entrance!

Here, all that remained was ruins. There were human corpses on the ground, but they had been crushed beyond recognition in the aftermath of the battle.

Gollum—

The head of a Taoist priest, filled with shock and fear, rolled to Ji Ran's feet.

Da da da.

One of the three rat demons lay motionless on the ground, while the other leaned against the village wall, panting heavily.

Only the black-faced, fanged rat-like servant, dragging his tattered armor and charred body, clutching an official seal, walked up to Ji Ran.

Bang!
The black-faced rat demon knelt down in one step, his steel sword planted in the ground, and said, "This little demon is a captain of Tiger and Rhinoceros Ridge! I did not recognize the immortal senior, please forgive me!"

Just now, if this sorcerer hadn't killed the divine general, that ox-nose, in his terror, would have only thought of fleeing and been traded for by his three brothers fighting to the death! If the fight had continued, only the three demons themselves would have died!
"And what about the common people?"

"He was rescued by... that lilac-flowered woman."

"Ah."

Ji Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief, glanced at the rat demon, and said, "Let's go."

"Take your two brothers, and that Taoist's head."

"Yes!"

……

Meanwhile, on the border of the Later Tang Dynasty.

Bang!
A man dressed in a red robe and wearing a wolf tail emerged from a cave in the mountains.

"Hey, same old spot."

"Tiger and Rhinoceros Ridge, Southern Ridge".

"let me find it……"

Shuanghua Honggun pulled out a waist tag from his storage space, on which was written a line of small characters: [Outer Ridge - Yaksha Soldier]!
The reason why Shuanghua Honggun was able to survive in the demon-infested mountains and forests and reap great rewards was because he used his materialization ability to obtain a position in Tiger Rhinoceros Ridge under the identity of Four-Eyed Yaksha.

"Yes, it's still there."

"Let's contact Lao Ji first."

Ji Ran, who had already formed a team, naturally told him her real name.

Ring ring—Ding!

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the double-flower red stick stopped moving and looked behind him.

Deep in the mountains and forests, a horse-drawn carriage clattered along, its curtain half-drawn, revealing a beautiful woman sitting inside.

An old man was driving a horse-drawn carriage, cracking his whip.

In the thin mist of the forest, the carriage came suddenly, as if it appeared out of thin air, and bumped right into the double-flowered red stick!
