Nalan Ruode said, "I am just a junior in the Nalan family, only at the Dan Shen realm, nothing special!"
Lan Hua was speechless. This was already at the Dan Shen realm, and it was nothing. How could those old men from the Six Sects bear this?
Don't they have any pride?
The Lord of the Killing Realm sneered, "Why would someone from the Half-Heaven Realm like you appear in my Killing Realm?"
Nalan Ruode laughed and said, "What a coincidence! Just a few days ago, I arrived in the Xuanyu Realm and heard that the Path of Slaughter had reappeared and the six sect leaders had gone missing. I'll just have to see what's so mysterious about this Path of Slaughter!"
Looking at the nine-story tower, Nalan Ruode snorted, "So it's a filthy place devoid of humanity!"
The Lord of the Killing Realm sneered, "Even if you come, what can you do? You're just one person; you're probably here to die!"
Nalan Ruode sneered, raised his right arm slightly, and several streams of dragon energy transformed into a three-headed black dragon, which circled around his body, with a faint dragon roar coming from it.
The Lord of the Killing Realm had a grave expression. His opponent had only shown a little of his power, yet he already possessed such might.
"Rumor has it that the direct descendants of the Dragon Clan all possess dragon cores, and it seems to be true!"
Nalan Ruode snorted, "You know quite a lot!"
The Lord of the Killing Realm's mind raced, and in just a few breaths, he had already considered several possible outcomes of a direct confrontation with Nalan Ruode.
However, either outcome would be detrimental to oneself.
Because Nalan Ruode, who possesses the inner core of a dragon, has a terrifying cultivation level of the sixth level of the Pill God Realm. With the power of the Dragon Pearl, even if one's cultivation level is higher than his, the outcome is still uncertain.
The Lord of the Killing Realm glanced back at Lan Hua and thought to himself, "And that kid, although seriously injured, still has the strength to fight. And the dragon prince on his shoulder, if he gets angry, he might even have to take down Gu Yang!"
"So be it. As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood. This old man can still make a comeback!"
The Lord of the Killing Realm shouted, "Wu Sheng, Gu Yang, retreat with me!"
After saying this, and covering Wusheng Tongzi and Gu Yang's retreat through another exit, the Lord of the Killing Realm also disappeared.
"Trying to make a comeback?"
Lan Hua revealed a wicked smile, and the power of the talisman in his palm surged out. The evil spirit and the mutant in the distant stone chamber instantly died with their chests bursting open.
A faint roar could be heard coming from outside.
Nalan Ruode snorted coldly in the air, withdrew his dragon aura, landed next to Lin Ruohan, and gently pressed a palm on his lower abdomen to release his seal.
Lin Ruohan clasped his hands and said, "Thank you very much for saving me, Young Hero Nalan. I, Lin Ruohan, will never forget your kindness!"
"Elder Lin, you're too kind. Let's go and check on the condition of the sect leaders first!"
The group quickly climbed the tower and found that the six sect leaders were all unconscious, their faces showing pain.
Nalan Ruode said, "It's alright. Fortunately, the experiment has been stopped. The six sect leaders only suffered damage to their souls and were possessed by evil spirits. As long as the evil spirits are expelled from their souls, they will be able to wake up!"
After saying that, Nalan Ruode struck out with both palms, and a vast amount of Yuan power flowed into the bodies of the six people, completely annihilating the evil spirits and souls that had invaded their bodies.
After a short while, the six sect leaders' complexions improved, and they woke up one after another.
Upon learning the details, Linghua Valley Master Hua Qianqian clasped her hands in thanks to Lan Hua and Nalan Ruode, saying, "Thank you both for saving me. I will repay this favor in the future!"
"You're too kind, Master of Flower Valley!" Lan Hua smiled and clasped her hands in greeting.
The other sect leaders thanked Lan Hua and the other two one by one, except for Duan Yu of the Immortal Sword Sect and Xu Hao of the Overlord Blade Sect, who only thanked Nalan Ruode.
Duan Yu snorted, "Lan Hua, the hatred for killing my son is irreconcilable. I'll settle the score with you another day!"
"I'd be happy to oblige!" Lan Hua replied lazily.
"I never intended to save you this time. You and Xu Hao were just people I saved on a whim!"
"I really regret it. I should have been grateful even if I had just saved a dog!"
Duan Yu angrily said, "Lan Hua, are you saying I'm not even as good as a dog?"
Lan Hua shrugged. "I didn't say that!"
Seeing that the two were about to clash, the elders quickly intervened to stop the fight, saying, "Sect Leader Duan, the elders have died or been injured while trying to save you. It is not advisable to start another conflict!"
Xue Yuan said, "Yes, Sect Master, the sect is waiting for you to return and take charge!"
Duan Yu snorted, his face dark, and walked towards the exit.
The chaos in the Killing Realm caused great losses to the six sects. Among them, twenty-four elders who went with the leaders of the six sects were lost.
At the entrance to the Path of Slaughter, the three elders perished under the sword of the Slaughtering Child.
The loss of twenty-seven Danxia Realm experts is a huge blow to the six major sects. With so many experts, they could completely wipe out any super sect on the Xuanhuang Continent.
Lan Hua approached Nalan Ruode and said with a smile, "Brother Nalan, it's been a long time!"
Nalan Ruode frowned slightly. "Are we that familiar? Have we met before?"
Lan Hua's smile froze instantly, and she said awkwardly, "We've met twice before!"
Nalan Ruode shook his head. "I don't remember!"
Lan Hua cursed inwardly, "Damn it, how can this fat guy change his tune so quickly!"
"It doesn't matter if Brother Nalan doesn't remember, it's good that you remember now!"
Nalan Ruode did not respond, but stared at Baxia on his shoulder, making the latter's scalp tingle.
"Huh? It's actually the dragon prince!"
Baxia quickly burrowed into Lan Hua's arms, peeking out half its head, and said warily, "What are you going to do? You already have a dragon's inner core on you, are you still trying to covet mine?"
Nalan Ruode shook his head. "I'm just curious because it's my first time seeing a real dragon!"
"So ugly, it doesn't look like a dragon at all!"
After saying that, Nalan Ruode turned around and walked towards the exit.
"If you need anything, you can find me at Black Dragon Pool in the Northern Region. I'll be staying there for a while!"
Lan Hua and Ba Xia froze instantly, their faces disheveled in the breeze.
"This person is so rude!" Baxia said.
“I think so too!” Lan Hua replied.
When Lan Hua appeared on the Path of Slaughter, a blood-red blade of energy suddenly slashed down, its power astonishing, yet it was completely silent.
"Damn it, who's messing with me?"
When Lan Hua reacted, even using the Flowing Light Step, she could not dodge the swift strike. She could only barely use the Heaven-Opening Palm to block the attack.
boom!
An extremely powerful move sent Lan Hua flying, and the immense blade force shattered the bowl-shaped barrier that Hong Mei had temporarily summoned, further injuring Lan Hua.
Lan Hua coughed up a mouthful of blood, looked at the person who had drawn the knife in the distance, and exclaimed in shock, "The Blood Ranking Assassin, Hong Luan!"
Duan Yu hadn't gone far when he saw Lan Hua lying on the ground seriously injured. He narrowed his eyes and started watching the show with anticipation.
The person was dressed in red and was actually a beautiful woman, holding a long knife that was almost as tall as her head.
It seemed rather incongruous for a woman to wield such a long sword, but Lan Hua knew that this person's signature technique, the Blood Shadow Mystic Art, was extremely powerful.
"That's right, someone paid me to come and take your life!"
After saying that, Hongluan slashed down again, and dozens of blood-red sword energies rushed over.
Lan Hua gritted her teeth and unleashed the Seven Days of Reincarnation technique, splitting the massive, invisible arrow of light into dozens of smaller arrows to block the attack.
Then his face turned cold, and he fired two arrows in quick succession, one a talisman arrow and the other a cloud-piercing arrow.
The black iron arrow pierced through the blade's energy, causing the woman in red to feel numbness in her hands and her blood to surge violently. This forced her to block the arrow without having time to use her ultimate move to counter it.
boom!
The arrow pierced the clouds and clashed with the longsword, creating a violent explosion that engulfed the woman in red.
"ah..."
The assassin Hongluan let out a scream and fell from mid-air, covered in blood, barely clothed, and in a pitiful state.
Upon seeing that glimmer of light, Duan Yu's expression changed drastically. He realized that the Blood Ranking assassins had not only failed to kill Lan Hua, but had also lost themselves in the process.
Looking at the pained Hongluan, Lanhua said coldly, "Speak, who is the employer?"
