Jiang Ran raised one finger.
This undoubtedly enraged Korno!
"Don't you understand the situation! I'm not the one who's at a disadvantage right now!" Korn raised his greatsword, staring fiercely at Jiang Ran. "Do you think I'm going to kill you? I'm just giving you a chance to live."
"Since you don't want it, don't blame me!"
The clown also lowered his eyes at the same time, and threw out the playing cards in his hand, which turned into sharp blades in the air!
This is no ordinary blade. Even a [King of Demons] level expert would be mortally wounded by it!
He threw out at least 20 playing cards, covering both Jiang Ran and Lin Zhi within his attack range!
The next moment, the armor on the two of them glowed, deflecting all the playing cards! The clown's body was instantly sliced into pieces, and countless petals exploded in the air!
However, similarly, numerous cracks have appeared on the armor!
Jiang Ran originally wanted to create two anti-armor suits at the same time. He needed to ensure their effectiveness while conserving mental energy, so he naturally reduced the upper limit of the anti-armor suits. If he could perfectly reflect attacks of the [near god] level, the mental energy consumed would be considerable!
Although the Joker's body was completely cut into pieces, it regenerated in an instant. He cannot be killed! Physical destruction alone cannot erase this guy!
"If the clothes you wear are your only defense, then you'll only meet your end here today!"
Corno leaped onto the stage and slashed horizontally with his sword!
This is a miracle from the Wheel of Fortune!
Jiang Ran casually stepped into Korno's blind spot, dodging the sword strike and then punching him in the back!
Corno wasn't a combat idiot either. He swung his sword to block Jiang Ran's punch, and then took a step forward to attack Lin Zhi!
The clown wasn't just watching either; he also threw out a playing card, which unfurled in the air to form a large net!
Aside from his armor, Lin Zhi's combat strength was no different from that of an ordinary person. Even with his armor, he couldn't withstand the attacks of two near-gods at the same time!
This is a miracle from [Remnant Dream]!
Jiang Ran forcibly used [Remnant Dream] to modify the space where Lin Zhi was currently located, pulling her into another space. In this way, the attacks from Corno and the clown were not in the same space as her, so they could not affect her!
In short, we're not on the same layer!
Their attacks missed, but they simultaneously turned and attacked Jiang Ran!
These two have great teamwork! They've definitely practiced for a long time, and maybe even have real-world experience!
The sword missed its mark, and the net failed to reach its target, which made both Corno and the clown realize that something was wrong.
It seems that no matter how they attack Jiang Ran, he can avoid them unharmed in a very strange and coincidental way!
"This guy is really weird..."
In the [Wheel of Fate] state, any attack targeting Jiang Ran will be nullified by chance, but depending on the power of the attack, the mental energy required for each "coincidence" will definitely be different!
Therefore, Jiang Ran needs to finish this quickly!
He drew the short knife from his waist!
That's right, it's the same knife from the game! After the game ended, Jiang Ran didn't return it to the old man!
The blade flew out, but the clown neither dodged nor avoided it. In his view, any physical attack was useless against him!
The blade was plunged straight into the clown's chest!
At that moment, the clown's expression changed!
"wrong......"
He didn't turn into flowers again, but instead disappeared as blood!
The blade is deadly to anyone who touches it! But it will disappear after killing a [Near God], so Jiang Ran simply used it as a one-time use item!
Between the two, although Cornelius was the dominant one, the Joker was clearly the more troublesome one!
Cornelius's expression changed drastically upon hearing of the clown's death!
It can be said that his two near-god-level combatants were his biggest trump card in this battle for the position of city lord! Now that the clown is dead, the combat power of Korno's side has been cut by more than half!
"Aaaaah! I want you dead!"
Jiang Ran glanced at Lin Zhi, who nodded and instantly understood what he meant!
"resonance!"
Lin Zhi used his talent to pull Jiang Ran into a special space. Seeing his opponent suddenly disappear, Korno was stunned for a moment. He immediately looked around, trying to find Jiang Ran's figure!
"They ran away?!"
Corno slammed his sword into the ground. The floor, protected by the rules, remained intact, but the tables and chairs on it were instantly reduced to rubble! He targeted Lin Zhi and lunged forward to strike with his sword, but unfortunately, they were not in the same space, so he couldn't do anything to Lin Zhi!
The clown was killed! And he couldn't do anything about it! This left Corner with a burning rage that felt like it was about to explode!
"Can......"
Before he could finish speaking, Corno felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that Jiang Ran had appeared behind him and pierced his chest with one hand!
The flow of time in Linzhi's space is different from that in the outside world. After Jiang Ran arrived in the space, he used the [Creator] to create a powerful charging item. The longer the charging time, the greater the power!
He was trapped in a perfectly safe space to gather his strength. Once he had enough power, he asked Lin Zhi to release the space, and Jiang Ran returned to behind Korno and pierced through his body with one move!
This is the method that consumes the least mental energy. Jiang Ran still needs to save his mental energy to deal with the other guys.
"Hmm..."
Korno lay on the ground, his eyes filled with resentment.
Of the seven candidates, one has already been resolved!
Korno was the deputy city lord, and with the help of the [near-god] level clown, he should have been a strong candidate to compete for the city lord position. Unfortunately, he ran into Jiang Ran first.
They've been fighting for so long, and they haven't seen a single person from the theater. It seems that Corno had made all the arrangements beforehand, which has saved Jiang Ran a lot of trouble.
Jiang Ran squatted down. Korno wasn't completely dead yet. It has to be said that he truly lived up to his title of "Near God," his vitality was indeed very tenacious! Of course, this was also a deliberate precaution taken by Jiang Ran.
"You once killed a demon?"
"Haha..." Corno spat out a mouthful of blood. "Why bring this up now? Are you mocking me?"
"No, I'm just very interested in it."
Why should I tell you?
“I know you won’t tell me, but sometimes, I don’t need you to do it willingly.”
This is a miracle from the [Lost]!
Using the word "lost" to get others to speak is a fairly standard practice, isn't it?
"How did you encounter that demon in the first place?"
“That was five years ago…” Korn paused, though his reason told him he shouldn’t say it, but his mouth moved on its own, “I saw a shepherd.”
"He led a large flock of sheep into the city of paradise."
