Chapter 202, All Members Break Through, A Sign of the Approaching War

Above the city.

Once Ling Qiqi's breathing stabilized, she immediately gave Yan Lingfei a big bear hug, completely covering her face.

Yan Lingfei: ...

She made a whimpering sound, but surprisingly, she didn't seem to resent the contact.

Lin Ran appeared out of thin air. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but smile. The Spirit Lord gave a soft hum and hugged Lin Ran.

After playing around for a while, Ling Qiqi released Yan Lingfei and glanced at the empty city below.

"Brother Lin, it's time to go. The controller of this territory has been discovered and will probably be here soon."

"it is good."

The group immediately set off and left.

……

After half an hour.

Above the quiet city, a figure surrounded by demonic energy appeared out of thin air.

It saw the empty city below and, observing the remaining traces, realized that the city had been destroyed!

He immediately flew into a rage

"Damn succubus lord!! All demons, assemble! I'm going to kill that reckless succubus!"

……

Ling Qiqi's territory.

After returning, the group didn't rest for long; Ling Qiqi dealt with the changes in the territory.

Lin Ran, along with Yan Lingfei, the Spirit Master, and Zhou Yu, set off again for the territory of another eighth-tier demon, while Nangong Yu and Jian Linglong remained in the territory for the time being.

Ling Qiqi mobilized the forces of her territory to send the group to the border. Then, using her compass and the Truth Eye Technique, she quickly discovered a demon city.

Halfway up the city walls.

After observing for a while, Lin Ran detected the auras of four seventh-tier demons. It seemed that the eighth-tier demon was very interested in this city.

However, they were only four seventh-tier members, so to everyone else they were nothing special.

Lin Ran selected a target and, as usual, used the lucky coins and spatial rules to silently approach the demon.

Then, after sealing off the space, Yan Lingfei unleashed the Death Arena to suppress the demon's power.

The Spirit Lord mobilized its primordial power, disrupting the core and flow of power of the demon, causing its strength to decline once again.

Then Lin Ran took action and effortlessly dealt with the early-stage seventh-tier demon.

It would be ridiculous if three top human geniuses, all at the seventh rank and working together, couldn't kill each other instantly, especially since they were only at the early stage of the seventh rank.

After the killing, the Spirit Lord helped Zhou Yu refine the corpse and the core.

Zhou Yu's method of cursing was somewhat strange; he completely refined a seventh-tier early-stage demon without any fluctuation in its aura.

So the group continued their work.

Lin Ran used the Lucky Gold Coin and the Miracle Jade Pendant and achieved very satisfactory results.

When the seventh-tier demon was killed and refined, the other seventh-tier demons did not notice!

Only after killing all four seventh-tier demons did Zhou Yu's aura begin to fluctuate noticeably, reaching the edge of advancement.

The Spirit Lord was very surprised by this.

"Zhou Yu, I didn't know you were this strong?"

"The curse is a bit special," Zhou Yu smiled.

Lin Ran patted Yan Lingfei on the shoulder.

"Let's massacre the city."

"it is good."

Immediately, Yan Lingfei used the Death Arena to envelop the city, while Lin Ran mobilized spatial rules to form a blockade first, ensuring that neither information nor demons could escape.

What followed was a hunt and targeted killing; before long, the entire Dracula Castle lost its power to resist and perished in the deathmatch arena.

A massive influx of energy into Zhou Yu's body finally allowed her energy to cross a threshold and enter a new realm.

Zhou Yu stood in the air, emanating a faint gray aura.

Lin Ran was instantly horrified when he saw it, and instinctively felt a urge to get away, but he forcibly suppressed it.

The Spirit Master and Yan Lingfei were already far away.

for a long time,

Zhou Yu's breathing calmed down, and a hazy light appeared in his deathly gray eyes, as if he had gained some new ability.

Zhou Yu walked up to Lin Ran and looked up at him slightly.

"Captain, you... um..."

Zhou Yu's eyes widened for a moment, then she relaxed and let Lin Ran do as she pleased.

Yan Lingfei and Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and they stealthily moved closer, their eyes like two searchlights.

After a long while, Lin Ran released Zhou Yu, whose face turned bright red.

"What are you trying to say?"

No, that's all.

"Okay, then it's your turn."

Lin Ran smiled and hooked Zhou Yu's chin, making her face him.

Zhou Yu's face turned even redder. After hesitating for a moment, she took the initiative to move closer.

……

territory.

Lin Ran originally intended to leave Zhou Yu behind, but she was unwilling, so she set off with Nangong Yu and Jian Linglong, leaving Ling Qiqi alone to manage the camp.

This time, I brought the Crimson Bird along. As a mount, it's quite good; its speed is similar to everyone else's, and it doesn't consume much energy.

Ling Qiqi's current territory borders the territories of three eighth-tier demons.

The two cities that were destroyed before were two different demon territories. Now, ahead lies a third demon territory.

After this, everyone will break through to the seventh rank, but they will also directly engage in war with three eighth-rank territories.

No demon ruler could tolerate the massacre of an entire city.

Upon arriving at the target city, Lin Ran discovered five seventh-tier demons, presumably the controllers of this demon territory, who were also preparing for the city's massacre.

However, having one more seventh-tier character won't change the outcome, especially now that Zhou Yu, who is also a seventh-tier character, has been added.

Just as he was about to kill the seventh-tier demon, Nangong Yu suddenly stopped him.

"For me, faith brings about a faster uplift than direct spiritual energy."

Spirit Master: "Hmm?"

Then everyone saw,

A humanoid projection appeared behind Nangong Yu, followed by a beam of white light that shot out and entered the dying demon's body.

The demon's expression became confused, but quickly the confusion disappeared, and he became very devout, struggling to kneel on the ground with his hands clasped together.

A divine light of faith begins to appear on the surface of the body, then gradually disintegrates within it, and finally disappears completely.

The divine light of faith that appeared was completely absorbed into the humanoid light and shadow behind Nangong Yu, which greatly enhanced the aura she exuded!

Everyone: ...

This seems even more bizarre than Zhou Yu's methods!

After absorbing the divine light of faith, Nangong Yu smiled gently at Lin Ran, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Nangong, your methods must originate from the realm of faith, right?"

"Yes." Nangong Yu nodded gently and rubbed the Spirit Master's little head.

The spirit master instinctively shrank back, but couldn't dodge it.

Lin Ran waved her hand.

"Let's continue."

Using the same trick again, and relying on luck and miracles, no accidents occurred during the hunt.

The last seventh-tier demon transformed into divine light of faith, merging into the humanoid light and shadow behind Nangong Yu, finally enabling her to break through to the seventh tier.

Before leaving, they did not spare this city.

It's different from before.

Under the light of Nangong Yu's faith, the demons shed their confusion and spontaneously knelt on the ground, offering up everything they had.

Countless rays of divine light enveloped Nangong Yu, making it almost impossible to see her figure.

not far away,

Yan Lingfei sighed, "Luckily, Sister Nangong is one of us, otherwise I don't know how to deal with it."

The Spirit Lord agreed: "Indeed, faith targets the will. Once the will is corrupted, even the strongest power will become useless."

Half an hour later, all the demons in the city vanished, and the group left. Shortly afterward, a demon exuding a powerful aura descended upon the area.
