"Ling pet!" Qin Ran said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to have such a treasure."
"What exactly is it?" Long Qiqi asked.
"It's a Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bee, a fourth-level demon beast with fire attributes. It has phoenix flames and is highly poisonous!" Qin Ran explained to Long Qiqi, "Its venom assimilates with the blood, causing extreme pain to the poisoned and resulting in a miserable death."
Upon hearing Qin Ran's description, Long Qiqi trembled with fear and exclaimed, "Then why are we still waiting here? Why don't we run?"
"The Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bee..." Qin Ran looked at her and said, "With their speed, which rivals that of the Phoenix Clan, can we outrun them?"
"Wouldn't we still end up dead?" Long Qiqi looked at the swarms of bees flying in the blood rain, filled with despair.
"It's actually not..." Jian Yuanjie's blood was being devoured by the Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bees. He was in excruciating pain, his face contorted, and he said to Long Qiqi, "He might not necessarily die. I know for sure that he has many life-saving tricks up his sleeve. But you will definitely die!"
Long Qiqi pondered for a moment and realized that it seemed to be true. She couldn't help but feel desolate.
Her life had truly been full of twists and turns!
Suddenly, Jian Yuanjie coldly said, "So, your only way out now is with me. Do you want to stay alive? Help me kill Qin Ran, and I'll let you go!"What a scheme!
Upon hearing this, Qin Ran placed Long Qiqi on the ground and raised his sword, coldly watching the situation unfold without saying a word.
Long Qiqi's heart wavered as she turned to look at Qin Ran, reflecting on the years they had spent together at Dan Peak. She sighed, "You two old foxes... I am no match for either of you. No matter what choice I make, death awaits me."
If Jian Yuanjie doesn't kill her, should Qin Ran kill her?
Instead of being killed by Qin Ran, it might be better to let Jian Yuanjie do it.
She said to Qin Ran, "Go! You've been quite good to me these past few years..."
Qin Ran looked at Long Qiqi, carefully discerning whether her words held any sincerity. Finally, he took out Long Qiqi's snake-shaped token and handed it to her, then grabbed the hand of this treacherous little girl and said, "Enough with the pretense. Playing the emotional card at a time like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire being suddenly exploded. In an instant, over a dozen Qin Rans scattered in all directions along with over a dozen Long Qiqis.
Some of these duplicates flew up into the sky to escape, while others turned around and attacked Jian Yuanjie.
Jian Yuanjie looked at the countless Qin Rans in the sky and momentarily couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake.
But he felt that Qin Ran couldn't possibly escape because Qin Ran wouldn't let him get away, leaving him as a potential threat. However, those Qin Rans advancing toward him didn't seem real.
He hesitated and struggled, then suddenly saw Qin Ran and Long Qiqi rushing into the opposite thicket. Long Qiqi glanced back at him.
That was real!
In an instant, he understood!!
"Attack, my darlings!"
Buzz...
The sound of the bee swarm suddenly intensified as hundreds of Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bees charged towards the thicket!
The Lionheart Raging Flame Beast could be called the strongest fourth-level demon beast, but when it encountered a group of equally powerful fourth-level demon beasts, it had no choice but to submit.
Qin Ran could easily defeat the Lionheart Raging Flame Beast, but if he were surrounded by the Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bees...
He would still die!
"Qin Ran, oh Qin Ran, one may know someone's face but not their heart, especially when they belong to different races. In the end, you died at the hands of a snake demon." Jian Yuanjie stopped the bleeding, raised his hand and took out his Heaven Overturning Seal, holding it as he reached towards the thicket.
He arrived in front of the thicket and carefully parted the bushes. Suddenly, a bright clearing appeared behind the bushes! However, there was nothing on that empty ground—no Qin Ran, no Long Qiqi, and no swarm of bees.
"Where are they?" Jian Yuanjie's face changed slightly.
He carefully sensed his swarm of bees and realized that they were ahead of him.
"A formation... a formation!" He realized that Qin Ran was skilled in formations, so it was normal for him to set up a formation, but...
"When did he set it up?!"
He suddenly realized that he was still within Qin Ran's calculations!
At the same time, in his perception, his trump card, the Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bee, was dying one by one.
He made a final attempt to summon his blood head bees, only to discover that they were in chaos within the formation and couldn't escape.
"Phew..." Jian Yuanjie adjusted his breathing as the sense of impending death washed over him. "Escape, quickly escape!"
Without hesitation, he made a resolute decision. He sacrificed his strongest card, the Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bee, and turned around to flee.
However, as soon as he took flight, he saw Qin Ran standing ahead, holding a cauldron.
"What?" He widened his eyes and looked back at the formation that trapped his blood head bees. He was puzzled, "Long Qiqi... shouldn't you be inside controlling the formation?"
Qin Ran smiled and said, "Think again."
Jian Yuanjie was intelligent enough to quickly understand.
Qin Ran had played a trick on him. The Dragon Qiqi who delivered the message was real, but the Qin Ran who held the real Dragon Qiqi was fake. The real Qin Ran was holding a fake Dragon Qiqi outside, waiting for him.
And just now, Qin Ran deliberately handed the snake-shaped token to Long Qiqi, probably to have her control the formation.
"Burning Blood Escape Technique!" Having understood everything, Jian Yuanjie wasted no words. He directly reopened his wound and unleashed the demonic escape technique, seeking a way to flee.
"Immortal Seeking the Way!"
Seeing this, Qin Ran once again used Li Shiyin's body technique. Just as the Blood Burning Escape Technique was about to take effect, a cauldron smashed into Jian Yuanjie.
Jian Yuanjie suffered heavy injuries, coughing up large amounts of blood and fragments of his internal organs. However, his Blood Burning Escape Technique was activated even faster because of it.
Watching Jian Yuanjie fly away as a streak of blood, Qin Ran turned around and glanced at the formation. After hesitating for a moment, he used the Flowing Water Technique, "Sishui Nianhua," to pursue Jian Yuanjie.
Long Qiqi had the token, so she wouldn't be in danger within the formation, although she might be trapped for a long time.
The cauldron had hit its mark. Jian Yuanjie was severely injured, and he couldn't hold on for more than seven or eight miles after flying out before collapsing.
Qin Ran quickly caught up and saw Jian Yuanjie lying in a clump of grass on the ground. He drew out a sword and was about to finish off Jian Yuanjie.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
He reached out and felt a thin film in front of him...
A formation!
There was another formation!
Jian Yuanjie, this cunning old fox, still had a trick up his sleeve at this moment. If he had been too eager for quick success and instant benefits, he might have fallen into a trap.
"Damn! He's so treacherous!" he cursed.
Seeing that Qin Ran hadn't fallen for the trap, Jian Yuanjie, who was lying in the grass, turned over and looked at Qin Ran in mid-air. He sighed and said, "I never expected to lose to your array skills. Your proficiency in arrays is something I didn't anticipate."
Qin Ran activated his Eye Technique Illusory Realm and began analyzing the array in front of him, preparing to break it.
Seeing that Qin Ran was about to break the array, Jian Yuanjie couldn't help but close his eyes. This time, he was truly going to die.
However, at that moment, Qin Ran suddenly stopped. He raised his hand, flipped it, and threw the Nine Provinces Cauldron in another direction.
There was nothing there originally, just a patch of grass and shrubs. But when the Nine Provinces Cauldron smashed over, a figure suddenly emerged.
With a thought, Qin Ran used the Nine Provinces Cauldron to press down on the figure. He approached and took a closer look. Who else could it be but Jian Yuanjie?
"If you hadn't said that you didn't know about my proficiency in arrays, I might have been deceived by you," Qin Ran smiled. "The protective mountain array of Dan Peak has already been set up. How could you not know about my array skills?"
Jian Yuanjie had stripped himself naked to conceal his presence. Now, he was trapped under the Nine Provinces Cauldron, looking quite embarrassed.
He looked at Qin Ran, a smile in his eyes, and said, "I shouldn't have provoked you."
Qin Ran shook his head, not bothering to respond. He raised his hand and activated his spiritual power. Using the Water Births All Things technique, a suction force appeared in his palm, drawing out all the water from Jian Yuanjie's body.
In the blink of an eye, Jian Yuanjie turned into a dried-up corpse.
Qin Ran then sat cross-legged, and his powerful divine soul flew out from his brow, hovering next to Jian Yuanjie's corpse. After a moment, a small Jian Yuanjie soul emerged, but Qin Ran's divine soul punched and kicked it, shattering Jian Yuanjie's soul.
It was only at this moment that Qin Ran could be certain that Jian Yuanjie was truly dead.
