The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 187 — City of Noula : Disease Outbreaks (24)
‘Then, who is this guy? Does he..’ Various conjectures surfaced in Lian Haocun's mind, but the attack from Baran Yangzuo instantly pulled Lian Haocun out of his ‘world’.
Then, there was a fantastic exchange of attacks between Lian Haocun and Baran Yangzuo! Their cultivation levels differed by one level, yet still, the gap between them was quite large. However, with the help of Lian Huanran who constantly narrowed Baran Yangzuo's wiggle room, nearly 80% of Lian Haocun's attacks successfully hit Baran Yangzuo!
Although Baran Yangzuo's situation seemed unfavorable, he was not desperate. Not a few were also the injuries Lian Haocun received while exchanging attacks with Baran Yangzuo, however, fortunately not a single wound was fatal. It could be said that the current situation of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran was balanced against Baran Yangzuo!
But as time went on, Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran's condition got worse. Because, with the Nascent Soul Stage pressure weighing down on them, the stamina they needed when dodging Baran's attacks or attacking him doubled!
Not only that, the previous fights had completely consumed a lot of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran's energy, even Lian Haocun felt a little overwhelmed facing the tireless Baran Yangzuo, his attacks were still as sharp as the start of them initiating an exchange of attacks!
Lian Haocun who was already quite overwhelmed, felt that he had to take a big risk, he wiped the sweat and blood stuck to his cheek, then moved his eyeballs towards the back, to see the state of Lian Huanran. Lian Huanran's situation did not seem any better, eleven twelve with Lian Haocun.
Just then, as if noticing her brother's gaze, Lian Huanran also looked back at her Brother. Understanding what his elder brother wanted to say, Lian Huanran nodded, seeing Lian Huanran's response, Lian Haocun also nodded back, but his gaze headed towards Baran Yangzuo. Communicating through gazes, the tacit understanding between these two twin brothers must be extremely high!
Suddenly, unexpectedly, Lian Haocun darted before Baran Yangzuo with the intention of attacking him from the front! Reflexes, Baran Yangzuo used his whip covered in black flames to wrap around Lian Haocun's neck! Right then and there, Lian Huanran shot five arrows towards the heart of Baran Yangzuo! The arrow had a bright yellow light at the end.
Like the robot that the program had already entered, Baran Yangzuo instantly removed his whip that wrapped around Lian Haocun's neck, then jumped back to avoid the arrow from Lian Huanran. Although it looks harmless, Baran can clearly feel that he was hit by the arrow, he will be ‘finished’.
When looking at the burns on Lian Haocun's neck that looked so bad, Lian Huanran felt extremely angry and anxious, however, Lian Huanran managed to control her emotions to not directly hit Baran Yangzuo. The reason, do not expect to hit the Demon General Aries, maybe if Lian Huanran faced off against this Baran Yangzuo, he would be defeated in less than two minutes. Thinking like that, Lian Huanran grew even more amazed with her Brother.
While Lian Haocun himself, he seemed unconcerned about his burns. Without a pause, Lian Haocun directly used the fifth movement of the Blue Lotus Movement Scroll! And in an instant, he arrived behind the back of Baran Yangzuo! His eyes were filled with killing intent, and his gaze was directed to where Baran Yangzuo's heart was located! Same with the purpose of the sword.
The Yangzuo Baran that was acting like a puppet that had already been instructed, nimbly dodged Lian Haocun's attack, and Lian Huanran! However, the five arrows that had previously only been pointed straight suddenly adjusted the direction to Baran Yangzuo's position! Lian Haocun also did not stay silent, after his attack was successfully avoided, without rest, he immediately shot behind Baran's back again!
That speed really seemed like teleportation, however, Lian Huanran knew that if they could not defeat the Demon General Aries as soon as possible, they would be utterly defeated! Thus, just like Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran also relentlessly shot arrows at Baran Yangzuo, some stuck in the stone walls, some were parried by Baran Yangzuo, others were fended off by the Yangzuo Baran, while the remaining ones were destroyed by Baran Yangzuo!
Coinciding with the wound being formed, Lian Haocun who was right behind Baran Yangzuo, thrust his sword deeply into the heart of Baran Yangzuo! And, incidentally, right then and there, one of the arrows released by Lian Huanran, who had a powerful explosive power, pierced right in the heart of Baran Yangzuo! Then, something unexpected happened, the Aries Demon General turned into a fragile and simple-looking wooden puppet. That is how the fierce battle ended.
Although Lian Huanran already had various conjectures on his mind, he was still shocked when he saw Baran Yangzuo turning into a puppet in front of him. Seeing Lian Huanran's surprised expression, Lian Haocun explained, “This is the clone that the original Baran Yangzuo created. It is unknown how many clones he has created during these eight years.”
Lian Huanran nodded in understanding, and heaved a sigh of relief. Even though it was only the original Baran Yangzuo clone, they managed to defeat him! A feeling of pleasure tickled Lian Huanran, until she forgot their original purpose for a moment. But Lian Huanran immediately recalled, his brother's burns looked quite severe, and immediately rushed closer to Lian Haocun.
Noting Lian Huanran's worried gaze, Lian Haocun said before Lian Huanran voiced her concern, “No problem, this wound will heal in a few weeks.”
Lian Huanran's expression did not improve upon hearing Lian Haocun's words, instead becoming worse. Lian Huanran wanted to make Lian Haocun pay more attention to herself, not more indifferent to herself, however, he was unable to say what he was currently regretting because there was something else they had to do first.
While Lian Huanran was thinking where the weakness of the Childly Demon Worm was, Lian Haocun took out Baran Yangzuo's wooden puppet, then, without further ado, he directly burned it using his fire! Instantly, the small shocks caused by the movements of the Childful Demon Worm stopped, a sign that the Breeding Demon Worm was silent, or that it was dead!
Stunned, Lian Huanran asked, “How did Big Brother know?”
Lian Haocun replied, “Just guessing.”
Then, the two of them also looked for a way out of the dead body of the Childly Demon Worm. After coming out, they directly helped Yun Shao, Long Yuan and Qian Wenwu to eradicate the remaining worm children. After making sure there was nothing left, they looked for a way back to Noula City, completely forgetting Guan Hong and Yang Mu, Guan Hong's teammates.
The fight was over, and the beautiful sun appeared to them again. There were no dark clouds and creepy thunderbolts, everything was done, except for their journey. Looking at that beautiful sunny scene, something flashed through Lian Huanran's mind.
'How about the scenery of the 'Midgard Ancient Kingdom' realm'...' Inner Lian Huanran awaits their journey to a new place.
