In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 105, The Third Gate, Return

Building entrance.

Many viewers only saw Jian Linglong standing inside the shield, seemingly casually waving her sword energy.

The dozen or so werewolves froze simultaneously, and then their heads flew off in unison.

Bystanders: ...

Is the difference really that big?

"She must have used some kind of explosive method to intimidate outsiders, but she had no idea of ​​the alien race's determination."

The leader in the corner sneered, not intimidated by Jian Linglong; he could achieve the same result even with his full power.

Before long, the auras of several third-tier werewolves could be heard from afar.

Jian Linglong moved swiftly, stepping out of the energy shield and standing atop the building.

Soon, five werewolves flew over, three mid-stage Tier 3 and two late-stage Tier 3, their auras pressing down on Jian Linglong.

"Human, you actually..."

A werewolf, three meters tall with a fierce expression, tried to intimidate Jian Linglong with words first.

But after uttering only a few words, he saw Jian Linglong looking over, and then she brandished her sword energy.

puff!

The werewolf felt a flash on his neck, lost all sensation in his body, and his vision began to spin. Then he saw the familiar headless corpse.

Oh, I see. He's already dead.

The four werewolves' expressions changed drastically, but none of them chose to retreat. Instead, they pressed forward towards Jian Linglong without prior agreement.

Jian Linglong's expression remained calm, but a blood-red light flickered in her clear black and white eyes.

She swung her sword again, and a flash of crimson light streaked past.

Jian Linglong turned and entered the building.

The four werewolves froze in place, a bloody gash slowly appearing on their necks. Then, with a splat, the blood sprayed off the werewolves' heads, and the headless corpses fell to the ground with a thud.

Bystanders: ...

After a long silence, someone gasped in shock.

"Hiss! What the hell is this human?!"

"Five level 3 werewolves, two of them late-game heroes, and they were wiped out in a single encounter?!"

"That human seemed to be using sword energy. Could it be from the human's Sword Tomb?"

"Sword Tomb? That explains it. People from this faction are renowned for their exceptional combat strength; almost no one of their level can surpass them!"

"This swordsman seems to be just a team member? How strong could that human be?"

"..."

The audience gasped in amazement, feeling as if their eyes had been opened.

There have been battles at the third tier before, but none of them have ended so decisively.

None of the Feather Clan, Soul Clan, or Crystal Clan, whom the werewolf clan had tested, looked pleased.

I tested out some of their strength, but I didn't expect it to be this exaggerated!

If you replace them with these, you might be able to block them once or twice, but after five or six times, you will definitely die by the sword!

"Go and ask for help first, and send someone to put pressure on that idiot, so that the human race will fight amongst themselves."

After finishing his sentence, the third-tier Soul Clan member turned and left, worried that if he stayed any longer, he might be killed with a single sword strike.

The third-tier members of the Feather Clan and Crystal Clan also left. There was no point in staying any longer; this person wanted to have a stronger third-tier member from their clan step forward.

……

outside the city

Yan Lingfei looked at Lin Ran, who was cultivating, and seemed to be thinking about something. She had a silly smile on her lips and occasionally let out a strange laugh.

Lin Ran was completely unaware of this, as he was immersed in accelerated cultivation. The tenfold increase in comprehension translated into a tenfold increase in experience on his panel!

The base of the spine was radiating golden light, and the projection of a portal was faintly visible.

At this moment, the Eight Gates Formation and the Soul Nourishing Technique are improving at ten times the usual rate of experience gain.

Lin Ran directly used the resources of an entire storage ring to provide for the consumption.

Even with an exponential increase in consumption, it can still last for a period of time.

The twenty-eighth hour.

Suddenly, the bone at the very bottom of Lin Ran's spine emitted a dazzling golden light, and the projection of the portal became clearly visible.

[Eight Gates Formation LV3→LV4: 5/2000]

The third gate, the Du Gate!

【Soul Nourishing Technique - Level 2 LV8: 3835/4000】

The thirty-second hour

【Soul Nourishing Technique - Second Level LV8→LV9: 35/4500】

Snapped!

Once the resources in the storage ring are exhausted, the upgrade speed will disappear.

Lin Ran slowly woke up, the golden light in her eyes gradually receding. Turning her head, she saw Yan Lingfei with a silly grin on her face, blushing for some reason.

Lin Ran: ?

He waved his hand and found that Yan Lingfei seemed to be lost in some kind of fantasy, and didn't even notice that he had woken up.

Lin Ran touched her chin and pinched Yan Lingfei's cheek. It was very smooth and tender, and very warm, much warmer than the two catgirls. It was bouncy and soft, like a piece of jelly.

Yan Lingfei was still asleep, lost in her unknown fantasies.

After observing for a while, Lin Ran confirmed that she was not being influenced by some force, but rather that she was having a fit of madness.

"Yan Lingfei!"

Lin Ran temporarily suppressed her desire to play with Yan Lingfei's face and vigorously rubbed it.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Yan Lingfei finally woke up, her face full of confusion, still unaware of what had happened.

Lin Ran pondered for a moment,

"Your saliva is dripping on me."

"Huh? Isn't it...?"

Yan Lingfei's words were shocking, leaving Lin Ran stunned and momentarily speechless. She looked at Yan Lingfei as if she were a pervert.

Yan Lingfei looked at Lin Ran and finally realized that what had just happened was all her imagination!

When Lin Ran saw the previously carefree girl lower her head, a mushroom cloud of steam rising from her head, and her voice softened considerably.

"Captain, Captain, let me explain..."

"Let's go back to the city first, and then we'll talk about it."

Lin Ran interrupted Yan Lingfei, feeling that this explanation should be given at a more appropriate time.

Yan Lingfei was in a state of confusion and didn't think too much before following Lin Ran back to the city.

……

Outside the building.

Dozens of figures blocked the doorway, confronting Jian Linglong, Zhou Yu, and the others through an energy shield.

Both sides were poised to unleash their power, just one spark away from exploding.

When Lin Ran returned, this was the scene she saw.

Both sides turned their gazes towards them simultaneously. Nangong Yu and his group's expressions softened considerably, while the group of people on the street looked even more displeased.

Lin Ran looked at Nangong Yu.

"What's going on?"

"They suspect that Qiqi has connections with the demon race and want to take her away."

Lin Ran nodded, scanned the surroundings with her mental energy to confirm that everyone in the group was there, and then looked at the crowd outside.

One person stepped out from the crowd.

"Lin Ran, your team is protecting a succubus..."

Lin Ran reached out and grasped the Demon Eye Cross Sword, then swung it at the person who came out.

puff!

A human head flew up, the headless corpse swayed, and fell to the ground.

Everyone: !!!

The crowd instantly became alert, unleashing their auras and glaring angrily at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran twisted her wrist, a cruel smile appearing on her lips.

"My people, what right do you have to take them away?"

"Leave one alive."

At his command, Nangong Yu was the first to act. Faith light appeared out of thin air, splitting into dozens of beams that precisely injected themselves into the top of each person's head.

Jian Linglong grasped the sword energy, paused for a moment, and then swung it forward.

The sword energy pierced through the energy barrier and swept across the crowd, instantly sending more than a dozen heads flying.

Lin Ran couldn't help but glance at him; this person's explosive power was even stronger than his!

Then he locked onto the people in another area, gripped his sword hilt, and pounced.
