The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 186 — City of Noula : Disease Outbreaks (23)
Back then, Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran were observing their surroundings warily, but unexpectedly, they met Guan Hong and his other teammates! However, strangely enough, they were unconscious even though Lian Huanran had beaten their cheeks dozens of times, and even more strangely, Lian Huanran and Lian Haocun were unable to find any wounds on their bodies.
“What should we do? Are we going to wait for them to come to their senses before continuing?” Asked Lian Huanran while slapping Guan Hong's teammate's cheek, he tried to wake him up and at the same time took revenge for the wound that the man had given to his older brother.
In a cold, and indifferent tone, Lian Haocun replied, “Leave them, waiting for them to wake up is just a waste of time.”
Lian Huanran nodded, and stood up, then he patted his hands beside his clothes, as if touching Guan Hong's teammates making his hands dirty. Then, he and his brother continued walking forward. During the trip, Lian Huanran continued to chatter, the topic was various, from food, to his childhood experiences. Looks like Lian Huanran is a little nostalgic.
But suddenly, out of nowhere, a black whip at high speed, shot towards the chattering Lian Huanran! Although Lian Huanran seemed relaxed, from the moment she reached this place, her body was always in a state of high tension and alertness, until despite being surprised, Lian Huanran managed to avoid the whip with her amazing reflexes!
Surely, Lian Haocun also reacted quickly, he immediately darted forward to look for who had attacked Lian Huanran. While Lian Huanran was directly hiding behind a rock not too far from where he originally stood, while looking for an opportunity to attack Baran Yangzuo.
When Lian Haocun saw who had attacked Lian Haocun, unknowingly his heart went cold, his heart also beat faster, due to the burning anger. A flash of memory as the figure of the red-haired demon general kidnapping Shen Wenhuan twisted back in Lian Haocun's mind. Yes, the figure holding the black whip not far in front of Lian Haocun was, Baran Yangzuo, the Demon General of Aries!
Lian Haocun observed her appearance from top to bottom, her hair was long red, with eyes that were also as red as her hair. However, the most striking thing was not his appearance, it was the symbol on his forehead, which became strong evidence that he was an Aries Demon General.
Yet strangely, unlike the first time they met, Lian Haocun could not feel Baran Yangzuo's aggressiveness and arrogance. His eyes were as blank as without life, and the aura around him was 180° different from the Baran Yangzuo he had met before. His eyes were cold as the undead.
Seeing Baran Yangzuo like this, Lian Haocun felt awkward, but he still had not found the bright spot why the Demon General of Aries became like this. Therefore, he tested Baran Yangzuo by attacking him suddenly!
Worthy of being someone of the Demigod Stage level, Baran Yangzuo dodged Lian Haocun easily. But suddenly, right next to Baran's ear, there was an arrow of Lian Huanran that shot towards Baran Yangzuo at high speed! Without even seeing the arrow, Baran Yangzuo had already disappeared from his previous place, and arrived right before Lian Huanran!
More precisely, because Baran Yangzuo was very confident that Lian Haocun's attack would not hit him! When Lian Haocun attacked Baran with his sword from behind, Baran Yangzuo suddenly moved to another place! That kind of lightning speed actually looked like teleportation. Lian Huanran, tied to Baran's whip, was dragged away when Baran moved. The sound of friction of Lian Huanran's body with the rough surface of the stone, was really unpleasant to hear.
When he saw Lian Huanran being treated so harshly, Lian Haocun felt even more furious. Furious, he attacked Baran Yangzuo in a row with his sword! The aggressiveness and speed of Lian Haocun made Lian Huanran who was now suffocating, still stunned. Again, he felt inferior for burdening his sister.
When he saw Baran Yangzuo, honestly Lian Huanran was surprised, although he had expected that the Demon Aries General could be here. But not only that, there was a feeling of anger, resentment, and undeniable, Lian Huanran felt fear for Baran, however his cultivation level was on par with the Demigod Stage! Which was clearly two levels above him and his brother. If compared, with just a single flick of a finger, the two of them could be killed just like that!
Lian Haocun ran at full speed towards the middle between Lian Huanran and Baran Yangzuo, without hesitation, he held the body of the whip, then used his fire element to burn it! Reflexes, Baran Yangzuo retracted the twists of his whip, and extinguished Lian Haocun's flames by pouring the dark elements of his into the black whip!
The black whip that had previously seemed ordinary, now had black flames burning all over its whip! As Baran did that, Lian Haocun's eyes turned to Lian Huanran, clearly surely Lian Huanran's body rubbing against the rough rocks produced bruises, and perhaps even bled. Knowing this, Lian Haocun felt even more angry.
He stored his black sword back into his storage ring, and blasted a single fist into Baran Yangzuo! Baran Yangzuo dodged and at the same time, moved his whip to wrap around Lian Haocun's arm!
On the other hand, Lian Huanran who was all over her body in pain, tried to wake up, and help her Brother. He would not be able to defeat Baran Yangzuo in close combat, but he could narrow Baran Yangzuo's wiggle room, until the chance of Lian Haocun's attack on the Aries Demon General was increased!
Lian Haocun leapt back, while Lian Huanran fired five arrows at where Baran was standing at the same time! Baran Yangzuo, who had intended to burn Lian Haocun alive, was forced to retreat because of the barrage of arrows directed at him. So that automatically, the whip wrapped around Lian Haocun's hand came off!
Baran Yangzuo who did not have any expression on his face, let out pressure to slow down the movements of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran! Instantly, the backs of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran felt heavy, as if an invisible burden had befallen them, yet, Lian Haocun was actually expecting more of the pressure that was befalling her.
Because Baran Yangzuo's cultivation level was on par with the Demigod Stage, but Lian Haocun felt that his pressure was only on par with the Nascent Soul Stage, which was obviously very unreasonable, because it was impossible for Baran Yangzuo to lower the pressure he put on the two of them. However, this strengthened Lian Haocun's conjecture, that the one fighting before them was not the real Baran Yangzuo!
