Chapter 204, Battlefield

wilderness.

Lin Ran lowered his arm, collected the corpse of the giant demon, and turned to the other demons watching the battle.

Most of them had indifferent expressions and showed no emotion at the death of the Mighty Demon; their eyes, however, were filled with intense vigilance.

Lin Ran smiled faintly, deciding to finish the battle quickly.

Eye Technique: Time!

In an instant, the world turned black and white, and everything stopped in place.

Lin Ran moved swiftly, rushing towards a demon and delivering a powerful punch to its core. Then he charged towards the next demon, the third, the fourth...

It ends in two seconds.

Lin Ran returned to her original spot.

A cloud of blood mist simultaneously erupted from each of the eleven demons, striking their cores at different locations without missing a single one.

Lin Ran waved his hand, and spiritual energy swept up the cores of eleven demons, delivering them to his hand. He then collected the corpses and returned to his cultivation space.

……

battlefield.

Ling Qiqi's enemy is the humanoid demon Li Gu.

Its expression suddenly changed, and it quickly exchanged a blow with Ling Qiqi, using the force to retreat from the battlefield.

Ling Qiqi was puzzled, but she did not pursue. She was a succubus, and her main strength lay in her soul. She was still far inferior to other demons of the same level in close combat.

Li Gu sneered.

"We'll let you off this time, but the army won't leave until you hand over that person."

After saying that, he turned and left, looking rather eager.

Ling Qiqi felt confused. Suddenly, she looked in another direction and sensed the presence of other controllers!

He paused for a moment.

Ling Qiqi immediately contacted Lin Ran in the castle.

"Brother Lin, is there any situation over there?"

Lin Ran: "A team of twelve seventh-tier demons tried to ambush us, but I wiped them all out."

"That's good. The controllers of all three territories are with me. Brother Lin, you can try to raid their bases. Contact me if you encounter any problems."

Lin Ran: "Okay."

After ending the call, Ling Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if Lin Ran hadn't been there.

In the end, it was discovered that she was surrounded and killed by the three controllers, and then her territory was divided up!

……

Cultivation space.

Lin Ran entered a state of cultivation again, but the energy provided by the demon's corpse and core was not as convenient or quick as other resources, and the efficiency was not very high.

The cultivation session ended quickly.

[Eight Gates Formation LV8: 2500/4000]

Lin Ran stroked his chin. He had less than half the experience left to level up. If he could take over the territory of an eighth-tier demon, the resources there would definitely be enough for him to level up!

As for which demon territory...

Lin Ran raised her head and closed her eyes.

Upon entering the spiritual space and communicating with Yan Lingfei's soul essence, a response was quickly received.

"I'm on the battlefield. I haven't found any eighth-tier demons, but there are twenty-three seventh-tier demons. The situation is at a stalemate."

Lin Ran: "I'll go help now and take over a territory first."

"it is good."

……

On the battlefield where Yan Lingfei was located, she was standing in the air, confronting twenty-three seventh-tier demons.

She wasn't the only seventh-tier demon here. Ling Qiqi had been developing her territory for a long time, and even though she hadn't been able to provide resources to other demons recently, she still had the capital she had accumulated in the past.

There are more than thirty seventh-tier demons in total, but most of them are in the early and middle stages, with very few in the late and peak stages.

In comparison, the opponent is stronger.

After ending the conversation with Lin Ran, her confidence immediately increased, but she didn't show it on the surface and maintained her original state.

Both sides were waiting for news from the territories' controllers, since the lives of most demons were in their hands.

Time passed slowly.

At one moment, Yan Lingfei suddenly turned around and saw two figures, one tall and one short, rapidly approaching.

She immediately broke into a bright smile and waved vigorously at the two of them.

"Over here!"

At the same time, it also attracted the attention of the opposing demon, as well as the demons on their own side.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Lin Ran and the Spirit Master calmly approached, passed through the demon ranks, and stopped beside Yan Lingfei.

Facing the oppressive gazes of numerous demons, Lin Ran remained calm, casually scanning the area and memorizing the auras of all the hostile demons.

Then he asked Yan Lingfei,

"Is that all?"

"Yes, this battlefield only has these demons. There should be more in the rear, but not many," Yan Lingfei nodded and said.

Lin Ran acknowledged this, then stepped forward to the center of both teams. Immediately, an even greater pressure descended upon him, but his expression remained calm.

His gaze shifted, locking onto the demon with the strongest aura.

The Lava Demon, a late-stage seventh-tier demon nearing its peak, is the strongest demon in the opposing lineup, bar none.

Lin Ran raised her hand and beckoned to it.

"You, come out."

"Hmph, human, how dare you!"

Before the lava demon could make a move, another succubus snorted and lashed out at Lin Ran with a long whip covered in barbs.

Lin Ran glanced at it, and two sword energies shot out from her eyes.

The first sword energy struck the wielding whip with precision. With a crack, the whip was shattered into several pieces by the sword energy, but the sword energy itself also shattered.

The second sword energy shot straight towards the succubus, causing her expression to change. She spread a pair of bat wings on her back, trying to dodge the sword energy.

However, the sword energy locked onto the succubus's aura, and no matter how it tried to escape, it could not break free from the sword energy's lock.

The succubus's expression darkened, and she waved her hand to take out a shield. The shield then rapidly enlarged, encompassing her entire body.

boom!

The sword energy struck the shield, causing it to shake violently and cracks to appear on its surface, revealing the succubus's shocked gaze behind it.

Lin Ran moved swiftly, appearing in front of the shield like a phantom.

His right hand, glowing with a brilliant golden light, slammed heavily onto the succubus's shield.

boom!

The shield shattered, and fragments scattered in all directions.

The succubus's body moved backward uncontrollably, her face turning extremely pale.

Lin Ran passed through the fragments of the shield, caught up with the succubus, and slammed down with another punch.

The succubus's expression changed drastically. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and a pair of iron handguards appeared on her arms, intending to block the punch.

At the same time, another demon moved, appearing behind Lin Ran and punching him in the head.

boom!

Two loud, overlapping explosions drew everyone's attention.

The succubus's arms were struck, her gauntlets shattered instantly, her soft arms were broken, and a golden fist slammed into her chest.

Behind them, a demon smashed its fist, the size of a clay pot, into Lin Ran, who was covered in golden light, with a loud bang.

Its expression changed as it realized that the punch had only caused the golden light around Lin Ran to flicker for a moment, and then there was no further reaction.

Lin Ran looked indifferently at the incredulous succubus, then clenched his fist and sent the force through the succubus's entire body.

boom!

The succubus's body hung limply on Lin Ran's fist. Its core had been almost shattered by Lin Ran, but its life force had been completely extinguished.

Lin Ran put away the core and the succubus's corpse, then turned around and gave the demon, whose expression was ugly, a bright smile.
