Lan Rou indifferently stared at the delusional Zhong Li. Even if he bowed and asked her hand for marriage, she would reject him with a spit on his face.

Zhong Li's face darkened as he laughed coldly. A jade-colored Dou Qi revolved in his body and exploded out, creating a massive green avatar with a demonic skull mask.

BOOOM!

Zhong Li punched with nearly all his might, causing space-time to tremble and create a violent storm in the sky.

Lan Rou faced this attack calmly. She stretched her fair hand and waved it gently. A Yin-Yang Swirl pattern appeared and negated Zhong Li's attack, protecting the mountain range from destruction.

Zhong Li raised his brow, "Hmm, so you have some skills, after all."

"However, this little power isn't enough to resist me!"

"Rouxi, you will be mine!"

Zhong Li's body was 'thoroughly' covered with scale-mail dragon armor, and his head was also protected by an angular-shaped helmet, burning with ghostly dark flame.

If Zi Yan were here, she would recognize this armor as the ugly forced condensation of her Ancient Void Dragon Clan's member bodies.

A pair of scimitars appeared on Zhong Li's hands, releasing a dragon's resentment that twisted the space-time around it. The weapons were 'literally' made with the Ancient Void Dragon King's fangs.

From the aura, one could feel immense strength.

Lan Rou frowned because the demonic feeling she got from Zhong Li's weapons felt off. They are alive and forced to obey his control.

"Jade Demon Mountain Crush."

Zhong Li swung one of the scimitars at Lan Rou, manifesting a demonic green dragon that swam and charged at her.

ROAR!

Lan Rou also brought out her weapon. It was a silver dagger Baek Ain made in his spare time.

The dagger slashed out toward the incoming green dragon, creating a thousand imaginary slashes in the air. However, these imaginary slashes are as solid as the real ones.

BOOM!

ROAR!

The green dragon hacked into pieces, leaving Zhong Li and other demonic practitioners speechless.

Not too far away, the leader of the Heavenly Feather Sect and Hall of Souls' representative stared at the hacked green dragon in disbelief.

"What was that attack?"

Kang Jin, the Heavenly Feather Demon King, flapped his gleaming dark feather wings and looked at Lan Rou solemnly. "We have no record of her having such an attack."

"Don't tell me she becomes stronger after the Gu Sacred Mountain Range's battle?"

"But that's ridiculous. Only less than a month has passed since then!"

"It's not exactly her pure strength," said a red-skinned woman beside Kang Jin. She's the Hall of Souls' representative, Hong Jia.

"What do you mean?" Kang Jin was confused.

Hong Jia pointed out, "Look at that silver dagger. That dagger can multiply the amount of attack done with it."

"We didn't know the limit of how many attacks she could multiply, but our estimation is 1,000 to 5,000. At the same time, we also concluded that this artifact drained your Dou Qi like crazy."

"Even a Dou Saint can't use it for too long."

"That strong?? That dagger is basically a Divine Artifact." Kang Jin said with a shocked look.

Hong Jia chuckled, "Yes, it is. We don't know where Orchid Immortal got this artifact, but it must have connected to the mysterious Alchemist who helped the Ancient Clan Alliance."

"The same Alchemist that killed my team on the Floating Island?" Kang Jin's face darkened.

"That, I don't know." Hong Jia smiled faintly. "There were no witnesses in the area at the time."

"Hmph! My Heavenly Father Sect has a technique that rewinds the death of our member." Kang Jin harrumphed coldly.

Meanwhile, Zhong Li watched his proud green dragon get destroyed. He was annoyed because he poured so much Dou Qi into that attack, yet it was ineffective.

'Long-range attack won't work on her.'

'But if I get too close, she could catch me off guard with the thousand shadow attacks earlier.'

Zhong Li wasn't stupid. He's the leader of the Jade Demon Sect for a reason.

After thinking about it, Zhong Li brought a demonic-looking red bead and shattered it. Crimson clouds appeared and surrounded the mountain range, creating an enclosed field of blood.

A rain of blood appeared in the sky, falling on Lan Rou and Zhong Li.

Tsss~!

A sizzling sound comes from Lan Rou's clothes when a blood rain droplet hits her.

"Corrosive Rain..." Lan Rou coated the area 2 millimeters away from her body with Dou Qi, creating this flimsy-looking barrier, but actually strong enough to resist mid-stage Dou Saint.

Zhong Li breathed in the blood rain and felt liberated. He grinned as if this was his homeland.

"Are you ready, Rouxi?"

"Ready for your death? Yes." Lan Rou replied casually.

"Damn you!" Zhong Li rushed toward Lan Rou.

SWOOOSH!

Lan Rou calmly swung her dagger and created multiple shadows in the air, but they melted upon contact with blood rain droplets.

"Haha, I have countered your artifact's ability. Now take this, Jade Demon Dragon Bite!" Zhong Li laughed like a madman, swinging his scimitar at Lan Rou.

Lan Rou didn't mind that her dagger's ability became ineffective.

She calmly assessed the situation and whispered, "Phantom, it's time to put in some work."

'Yes, Mistress.'

As Lan Rou's bloodline ability activated, her linked parasite also affected and gained a similar ability. In short, it also could split an incarnation based on a memory-related event.

Of course, there is also a weakness.

Phantom, Lan Rou's parasite, got her power reduced by half every time she split.

So, it only has 33.3% of her 'normal' capability.

But it was more than enough to deal with Zhong Li.

Lan Rou's robe morphed into a purple-white battle dress, adding a half mask on her face. A purple halo appeared behind her and shone brightly like a violet sun.

Dou Qi is rapidly pumped into Lan Rou's body by Phantom, allowing her realm to increase to late-stage Dou Saint despite being an incarnation.

Zhong Li, who was charging at Lan Rou full speed, was dumbfounded by this sudden transformation. Her cultivation base is suddenly higher than him.

Is this a joke?

Lan Rou coated her dagger with Dou Qi and extended the blade by half a meter, giving it a purple edge.

"Dawnbreak!" She slashed her extended dagger like a dragon slashing its claw down.

A sharp, purple energy slash fired and traveled through space-time.

Zhong Li panicked and crossed his scimitars.

BOOM!

The leader of the Jade Demon Sect got sent flying like a broken kite.

BAM! CRACK!

He landed on a small hill several hundred kilometers away, looking very miserable as the scimitars given by the Hall of Souls cracked under extreme pressure.

"Impossible!" He coughed a mouthful of blood, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Lan Rou won't leave her enemy a chance to recover. She kicked the air and chased after Zhong Li.

As she sent several energy slashes, Kang Jin and Hong Jia protected Zhong Li from it.

Kang Jin countered with a storm of dark feathers, repelling the energy slashes away.

"You're so reckless." Hong Jia comes to Zhong Li's side and feeds him with recovery medicine.

Zhong Li wiped blood from his mouth, "I didn't expect her to have such a hidden card. Her strength increased explosively, catching me off guard."

"Hmph, don't worry, I wouldn't let her do it for the second time."

"I hope so." Hong Jia snorted. "You made me waste Saint Pill for no reason."

BOOOM!

Lan Rou shattered Kang Kin's feather storm and slowly descended from the sky like a grim reaper.

She faced the three leaders of Demonic Factions and Hall of Souls with indifference on her cold yet beautiful face.

"As expected of the Orchid Immortal, but if you think you can face three of us at once, you're gravely mistaken!" Hong Jia's body ignited with an earlier gray flame.

The same goes for Zhong Li and Kang Jin, which caused their strength to increase instantly. They received the boost from the Nihility Devouring Flame's seed.

Yes, like Blood Demon.

Lan Rou pointed her dagger-sword at them, "Stop the nonsense and fight!"
