Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

Li Ran despised two kinds of people.

The first were those more handsome than him.

Of course, he had never encountered such a person yet, and whether they existed in the world remained to be seen.

The second were hypocrites.

There were plenty of those.

People like Song Qingsong, Chen Zutian, and the participants of the Demon-Slaying Assembly were prime examples.

Despite having darker hearts than anyone else, they pretended to be righteous and respectable, claiming to be from noble sects, yet feasting on blood-soaked buns. Cloaked in the guise of justice, they engaged in despicable deeds.

Especially Lin Langyue.

She appeared otherworldly and detached from worldly affairs, yet her heart was filled with greed.

Otherwise, why would she attend this farcical conference?

It was all for fame!

To Li Ran, such people were the epitome of hypocrisy.

Conveniently, he had an agreement with Li Wuchang, and since Lin Langyue was the direct disciple of the Sect Master of the Central Heaven Sect, Li Ran felt it was perfectly reasonable to give her a good beating.

“Let’s see just how strong the First Fairy of the Righteous Path really is!”

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heavenly thunder, filled with the wild energy of the untamed wilderness, continuously struck the ground, shaking the entire street!

Bolts of lightning shot out in all directions, while the disciples of the righteous sects wailed in despair.

Especially Chen Zutian, who was closest. His eyes rolled back, foam frothed from his mouth, and he shook like a leaf in the wind.

He was on the verge of losing control of his bodily functions.

The mere aftershocks were terrifying enough—one could only imagine the pressure at the center of the thunderstorm!

Li Ran stroked his chin. “No movement yet? Don’t tell me she’s been electrocuted to death…”

After one incense stick of time.

The lightning subsided, and the dark clouds dispersed.

Sunlight once again bathed the earth.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Li Ran smiled, “Interesting.”

On the scorched ground, Lin Langyue stood unharmed.

Her delicate lips moved as she chanted, surrounded by a glowing spherical barrier.

The protective shield was covered in web-like cracks, and just as the lightning dissipated, it shattered with a bang.

Li Ran clapped his hands. “Not bad, not bad. As expected of the First Fairy.you managed to withstand it.”

To avoid harming others, he had reduced the power and range of his Golden Light Thunderous Wrath.

Compared to his full strength, this was less than half its power.

Yet even so, an ordinary Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

Regardless of Lin Langyue’s character, her strength was indeed impressive.

…

Lin Langyue’s face was pale, her blood and energy churning, nearly causing her to spit out blood.

But she clenched her fists and forcibly swallowed it back down.

Li Ran was too strong.

He could communicate with the heavens and bring down heavenly tribulation.

This wasn’t the power of a mere Golden Core cultivator!

If that lightning had lasted five more breaths, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on!

Lin Langyue’s eyes grew solemn.

This was the strongest enemy she had ever faced; she couldn’t afford to show the slightest weakness!

“Such a Divine Skill must have consumed a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. He must be very weak now. I still have a chance!”

Even when facing such a formidable opponent, she never thought of running away.

This was the pride of a disciple of Central Heaven Sect!

“With a heart as clear as ice…”

Lin Langyue closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze was as calm as an ancient well.

She floated into the air, her fair palm aimed at Li Ran, a blinding light shining from her palm!

“Chop!”

The white light burst forth!

It descended like a meteor shower, leaving the ground pitted and scarred.

But Li Ran had already disappeared.

“Not good!”

Lin Langyue quickly turned her head, only to see a faint light rushing toward her from behind.

Li Ran’s fist carried a cold smile.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two figures turned into flashes of lightning, intertwining in the air, colliding with their magical powers, and creating thunderous explosions!

Even the slightest leakage of spiritual energy made people’s hearts tremble with fear!

The disciples of the righteous sects huddled in the corners, holding their heads and trembling.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

This was truly a battle of gods!

They couldn’t intervene at all and could only silently pray for Lin Langyue…

…

Outside the ruins.

Xiang Ze and the Vice City Lord watched the scene.

The Vice City Lord asked nervously, “City Lord, shouldn’t you step in to stop them…”

Xiang Ze glanced at him. “Are you trying to get me killed faster? Or do you want to take over my position?”

Vice City Lord: “…”

Xiang Ze shook his head. “One is the Head Disciple of the Central Heaven Sect, and the other is the holy son of the Hidden Gauze Sect. Who the hell would dare intervene? As long as no one dies, even if they tear down the entire Qingzhou City, I’d still have to praise them for doing a good job!”

“Sigh.”

The Vice City Lord sighed helplessly. “This Demon-Slaying Assembly was just supposed to be a formality. How did we end up attracting these two powerhouses?”

“Haha…”

Xiang Ze’s expression turned playful. “They were wiped out by just one person. Who’s slaying whom here, really?”

…

Bang!

The two figures clashed and then separated.

Li Ran grinned, “Not bad, so you’ve already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage!”

Lin Langyue remained silent.

Her delicate hand behind her back trembled slightly.

‘Does this guy have unlimited spiritual power?’

For the first time, she felt a faint sense of powerlessness.

“I declare the warm-up officially over.”

Li Ran stretched his neck and pulled out a pair of gloves.

The gloves were made of Golden Ridge Sand, emitting a faint golden light, with ten small stones embedded in the knuckles.

He had these gloves made for him back in Five Yang City.

The gloves were quite ordinary, serving no purpose other than being sturdy—they didn’t even count as Artifact.

The key lay in those ten small stones, which he had secretly pried off the gate of the secret realm…

Demon Suppression Stone!

Li Ran took a step forward, his figure instantly swelling, his entire body enveloped in blood energy, and his eyes slowly turned dark red.

Bloodline power, activated!

Seeing that bloodthirsty smile, Lin Langyue felt a sudden alarm in her heart.

She quickly began casting a spell, but a flash of blood was already in front of her!

And the supposedly indestructible magical barrier shattered like bubbles upon contact with his fist!

“What is this?!”

Lin Langyue let out a startled cry.

She tried to retreat, but just as she was about to take off, her vision was blocked by a large hand!

Li Ran grabbed her head with his right hand and slammed it into the ground with a cold and bloodthirsty gaze!

Lin Langyue quickly crushed a jade pendant, causing divine light to burst forth from her body, only to be slammed into the ground with a loud “boom!”

The bricks shattered, the ground cracked open!

As the dust slowly settled, a huge crater appeared on the ground.

Lin Langyue lay at the bottom of the pit, her entire body enveloped in divine light, like a transparent eggshell.

As the Head Disciple of the Central Heaven Sect, she lacked nothing in terms of treasures. This protective barrier, unaffected by the Demon Suppression Stone, was clearly of the highest quality!

“Tch, so many turtle shells.”

Li Ran casually removed his gloves, coldly staring at Lin Langyue.
