Chapter 56: Yue Jianli's Decision!

"What a strange person…" Yue Jianli looked at Li Ran with a complicated expression.

According to her belief, most cultivators from the Devil Sect were usually interested in profit, and they would do anything to achieve their goal.

However, Li Ran was different. To protect his dignity, he'd rather fight against the emperor's will. This sort of death-seeking approach truly didn't seem to be the work of a devil.

Yue Jianli couldn't help but feel admiration for his courage. She didn't know why, but she didn't want to see him fall at the very last moment. She couldn't help but reach out to support him.

However, when he recalled that Li Ran had snatched her immortal material and even teased her, she immediately gritted her teeth.

"No matter how much backbone you have, you won't be able to change the fact that you're a lowlife!"

…

Li Ran looked at the palace, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes. "I didn't expect this stairway to be so strong. If it wasn't for the strange and powerful Heaven Seizing Cultivation Technique, I probably wouldn't have been able to ascend."

The Heaven Seizing Cultivation Technique gave you the ability to automatically cultivate.

But if he were to use the technique, it had the ability to swallow ten thousand techniques.

The divine lightning that was summoned was completely absorbed by the mysterious ancient seal on his body.

However, even though this move was strong, it was not invincible. The stronger the opponent's attack, the faster the qi consumption.

He felt his empty dantian, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yue Jianli stood beside him and looked at him with amusement. "Didn't you want to defy the heavens and question the Immortal Emperor? Why can't you hold on anymore?"

Li Ran glanced at her. "That's better than lying on the ground and being a dog."

Yue Jianli was enraged. "Who are you talking about?"

"Whoever lies on the ground is a dog."

"If I hadn't helped you earlier, you would have already fallen. Do you have any conscience?"

"You wanted to talk about conscience with someone from a devil sect? Are you stupid?"

"You!" The two of them glared at each other angrily.

Li Ran was the first to give in. "Alright, I'm just teasing you. Thank you for what you did."

If Yue Jianli had attacked, she would have had a chance to eliminate him, or even heavily injure him.

However, not only did she not do that, she even reached out to support him. It was indeed beyond Li Ran's expectations.

"Tch, who wants your thanks?"

Yue Jianli snorted disdainfully, but her lips slightly curved up.

Li Ran found a flat ground and sat down. "This is your only chance to kill me. Are you sure you won't attack?"

Yue Jianli sneered. "Who said I wouldn't make a move? I'll kill you right after you recover your qi with my sword!"

"Oh, good luck then." Li Ran took out a handful of pills, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

Yue Jianli was confused. "???"

"You really think I don't dare to kill you?" She drew her sword and gestured in front of Li Ran for a long time.

However, he didn't react. He didn't even move his eyelashes.

"Tch, how boring…" Yue Jianli angrily withdrew her sword.

Suddenly, her eyes froze. She saw that Li Ran's clothes were already in tatters. His muscular body was exposed, and his lines were visible.

Her face blushed and she hastily turned around.

"Do not look at this indecency, do not look at this indecency…"

"Wait, that's not right! He's already looked at me. Why can't I look at him?" Yue Jianli angrily turned around and looked righteously.

Li Ran's figure was perfect.

All the muscles in his body were bulging, containing a powerful explosive force. However, the lines were clear and smooth, not even the slightest bit of bloat was found.

This was a perfect interpretation of what it meant to have the back of a tiger and a waist like a wolf. Yue Jianli's face turned redder and redder. In the end, her ears were about to release smoke.

"Does it look beautiful?" Li Ran suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

"Good… Pah pah, it’s ugly!"

Yue Jianli seemed to have been caught red-handed and fled into the distance.

Hiding from afar, she patted her chest and tried to calm her intense heartbeat.

"He really is a demon from the Devil Sect. He doesn't have the least bit of shame!"

Because Li Ran had broken through the world laws, the pressure had completely disappeared. The rest realized that and crazily climbed upwards.

Song Qingsong was the first to ascend the mountain. As he stepped onto the ground, the staircase immediately disappeared. The others cried out in alarm as they fell, being sent out of the secret realm midair.

"Hu~ Great, I've advanced!" Song Qingsong gasped for breath, his eyes filled with ecstasy.

He looked around and noticed Li Ran who was meditating not far away. The scene of Li Ran resisting the heavenly lightning was for his eyes to see. His heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This demon was too strong!

Strong to the point of despair!

"In the end, the inheritance can only be obtained by one person. If he recovers, I will definitely be eliminated!”

"Right now, his cultivation is half-crippled. This is my only chance!" Song Qingsong gripped his flying sword tightly and slowly walked towards Li Ran.

His expression gradually darkened.

Clang!

A streak of sword-light flashed and a cut appeared in the ground in front of him.

Song Qingsong raised his head and saw Yue Jianli holding her sword with a cold expression.

"Scram."
