Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

Blood gushed from the wound, and Chen Ran trembled with pain, but the danger was far from over.

With a deafening roar, Zhou Ran's psionic armor-piercing round, fired from the RPG rocket launcher, hit its target.

In an instant, a huge flame engulfed Chen Ran's body. The already thin demonic energy could no longer withstand such a terrible blow and melted away like ice and snow.

The extraterrestrial demon was blasted senseless, half of his body was charred, and he even lost an arm. He was in an extremely wretched state.

Terror finally showed on her face.

However, before it could take any remedial action, an even greater crisis struck.

crackling sounds...

With a teeth-grinding cracking sound reaching their ears, the twelve tentacles she had conjured with demonic energy above her head could no longer withstand the giant sword technique unleashed by Fairy Yaoguang using her talisman.

It shattered inch by inch under the immense sword light that stretched over ten feet.

The giant sword, accompanied by a strong wind, slashed down, aiming straight for her head.

hum!

At that moment, even the air seemed to tremble.

At this moment, the extraterrestrial demon was already severely injured, but she naturally would not sit idly by and wait for death. She began to mutter obscure incantations, and her only remaining arm was flailing up and down rapidly, clearly wanting to use some kind of secret technique that overdraws her life force.

However, at that moment, the three college students, led by Jiang Yun, simultaneously threw out the battle flags in their hands.

bang bang bang...

Accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound, the formation was forcibly pushed to its limit.

Instantly, streams of restrictive power, like maggots clinging to bones, fiercely entangled the extraterrestrial demon from all directions.

The power had increased several times over, making Chen Ran's movements incredibly difficult, like a mosquito caught in a spider's web.

And with this slight delay, the giant sword above finally came crashing down.

Without any suspense, he was cleaved in two from the top of his head.

Fresh blood gushed down from mid-air, but there was no scream. Instead, a black mist shot into the sky and rushed toward Zhou Ran at an extremely fast speed.

Possession!

As expected of an extraterrestrial demon, even when faced with dire straits, it refused to admit defeat and sought to survive against all odds.

The change happened so suddenly that Zhou Ran didn't have time to react. Just as he was about to be swallowed by the black energy, Duan Xuan made his move at the critical moment, kicking his friend. Zhou Ran was sent flying like a rolling gourd.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

The attempt to possess him failed, and a hideous face emerged from the black mist. Its features were distorted, and it roared at Duan Xuan before turning around and charging towards him.

Rumble!

This time, before the black mist could even reach them, a dense barrage of rockets flew in from the side. The white phosphorus warheads exploded, and scorching white phosphorus flames instantly surged and spread, as if the air itself had been ignited. The black mist, formed from the demonic soul, was enveloped by the phosphorus flames, emitting extremely shrill screams, and ran around wildly as if it had gone mad, rolling and howling in agony.

It stopped abruptly after a moment, leaving only specks of ash drifting away in the wind.

it's over!

Duan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The other people also looked delighted.

This battle was extremely dangerous. Although they seemed to be suppressing the extraterrestrial demons the whole time, it was because of their excellent teamwork, the assistance of the formation, and the fact that they had discussed the battle plan in advance.

In reality, everyone is dancing on the edge of a knife. If there is even the slightest mistake, the outcome is uncertain, and at the very least, someone will perish!

"Phew, I survived."

Jiang Yun collapsed to the ground, while the other two junior college students next to her were not much better off. However, their faces were full of joy. With this experience of surviving the ordeal, not only was their transfer to a four-year university a sure thing, but they were also very likely to be admitted to a top-tier university.

Fortune favors the bold; the ancients were right.

Even the fairy in the clouds secretly wiped the sweat from her forehead and glared fiercely at the two brothers beside her: "You two, you really know how to cause trouble."

"Hehe, you flatter me, fairy."

Duan Xuan scratched his head, looking rather simple and honest.

He didn't know how much his opponent had discerned from the fight, but Lingyun's advice to him was to play dumb to the end.

As for Zhou Ran, he still had a carefree expression: "Awesome! This is how a real man should be. Even the Foundation Establishment Demon is no better than this."

His arrogance was so overbearing that it left people speechless.

However, knowing that this kid was a goofball, neither Jiang Yaoguang nor Duan Xuan bothered to refute him. As for the other three college students, they were not familiar with Zhou Ran to begin with, so they were even less willing to offend him with their words.

They weren't stupid either; they could all tell that the three people in front of them were most likely from top-tier "Double First-Class" universities!

Having survived the ordeal, the group had little desire to communicate. Some took out pills and swallowed them, while others closed their eyes and meditated to regulate their breathing. It took a good half hour for their breathing to become stable and their complexions to regain their rosy hue.

Fairy Yaoguang opened her beautiful eyes: "Alright, the powerful enemy has been defeated. Let's go take a look at the spoils of war. Please check what you've gained."

No one objected. Their faces were filled with anticipation and joy. They put away the array plates and flags and filed out of the valley, led by Zhou Ran.

Soon, they arrived at the hidden underground cave.

Because of the fierce battle just now, half of the entrance to the grotto has collapsed, and the rest is pitch black, with no bottom in sight.

Faced with this situation, the college students hesitated, but Zhou Ran did not hesitate at all and took the lead.

"It's alright, the danger has passed."

Duan Xuan smiled slightly and followed closely behind.

Before coming, he had already sent Lingyun to scout ahead with a mechanical dog, so he knew that there was no longer any danger here.

Fairy Yaoguang remained even more composed, smiling slightly as she gracefully followed Duan Xuan inside. Seeing the three of them so calm, the college students exchanged glances before following suit and filing in one after another.

All along the way, you could see traces of the battle that had just taken place, and it was quite intense. The interior was almost in a state of partial collapse.

However, these were nothing to cultivators. The group cleared away the rubble blocking the road as they moved forward, and it took them about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before they arrived at the hall, which resembled a small square.

As the core area of ​​the cave dwelling, this place is obviously protected by an array, so it has not been affected much and remains very well preserved.

Then everyone's gaze fell on the skeleton at the front of the hall.

This elder has obviously been dead for a long time; even his clothes have weathered away. There is nothing else around him except for an inkstone, which looks quite conspicuous.

"Ranzi, it's time for you to perform your upside-down eating... ah, no, I mean your showing off."

Duan Xuan gestured to his friend and casually made a sarcastic remark.
