Immortal-Binding Rope?
What kind of ridiculous nonsense was this?
Lu Ran didn’t believe in any of these flashy tricks.
Besides.
Lu Ran also knew that this guy had a magic-sealing skill. According to Cong Shuang’s explanation, the magic-sealing duration was about ten seconds.
Although Lu Ran wasn’t afraid.
But it was still that saying — you can capsize even in a gutter.
Lu Ran was confident, but not overconfident. There had never been any information about this Earth Immortal, not even Liu Xinxin had any.
If something went wrong at this critical juncture and he missed the championship, that would truly be a tragedy.
So.
At the very instant the match began.
At the very instant Zhang Zheng flung out the Immortal-Binding Rope, Lu Ran raised his hand and hurled out a Blood Spear.
In that gap, the Blood Spear was thrown — there was no way to avoid it!
Unless this Zhang Zheng possessed a phasing skill like Zhao Xuan’s, otherwise, certain death!
This scene.
Made everyone’s eyes go wide.
No one expected Lu Ran to react so quickly this time — without a word, he directly threw the Blood Spear!
This was going to take down Zhang Zheng in an instant.
The spectators instantly fell silent, holding their breath and watching intently.
The major forces and families all widened their eyes as well.
The two Cong sisters were also somewhat nervous, afraid something unexpected might happen.
And the truth was exactly as Lu Ran had guessed.
When the Blood Spear was halfway through its flight, Zhang Zheng frowned and withdrew the long whip in his hand.
Then.
His entire body suddenly vanished from where he stood!
And the Blood Spear lost its target, dissipating into the air.
Lu Ran’s brows furrowed sharply. This guy really did have something — he could even burrow through the earth!
This was a skill that had never been shown during the battle with Cong Shuang!
Even Cen Yunuo’s eyes lit up: “Oh, this is quite novel. Earth-element mages don’t seem to know this move.”
Many people could see clearly.
When the Blood Spear was halfway there, Zhang Zheng’s entire body shrank into the ground.
As if the arena beneath his feet had turned into a lake, and the guy just sank right down.
The Blood Spear lost its target, so naturally it couldn’t deal any damage.
The surrounding spectators erupted into an uproar.
No one expected this to happen. Zhang Zheng was also the first person in this Hundred Cities League to remain unscathed after Lu Ran threw his Blood Spear — directly using a burrowing skill to dodge Lu Ran’s Blood Spear!
“Earth Immortal… I always thought that name sounded familiar. Now that I think about it, isn’t this just like Earth Burrower Sun?” Lu Ran thought oddly.
The next second.
Crack!
A long whip extended from beneath the arena, wrapping directly around Lu Ran!
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment. This was something he hadn’t expected — Zhang Zheng could still attack and use skills against his opponent even while underground?
This was somewhat similar to Zhao Xuan’s phasing.
He himself couldn’t be targeted by attacks, but he could still use skills against his opponent!
Then.
Zhang Zheng’s entire body slowly rose from the ground, appearing not far away, gripping the other end of the Immortal-Binding Rope.
“I told you, the championship is mine!” Zhang Zheng laughed heartily. “You can’t use any skills now. Weren’t you invincible? I’d like to see just how invincible you really are!”
Lu Ran looked at Zhang Zheng with indifferent eyes, saying nothing.
The magic seal had taken effect. Lu Ran indeed couldn’t use skills, and the charged-up Blood Spear was wasted.
But killing Zhang Zheng was merely a thought away.
Fine then, I’ll wait ten seconds for you!
And Zhang Zheng wasn’t idle either — he unleashed a barrage of attacks on Lu Ran. Many skills had never been seen before. Cong Shuang’s prediction was right — this Zhang Zheng had hidden a lot!
And this scene.
Also made Lu Ran’s fans below the stage furious.
“Damn it, this bastard, so shameless!”
“He can even burrow through the ground? Who could have expected that?”
“The tactic isn’t bad, but it does look a bit sneaky.”
“His temperament isn’t steady enough.”
“Will Lu Ran lose? He’s been magic-sealed — can he still use skills?”
…
Amid countless people’s speculation.
Zhang Zheng’s skills bombarded Lu Ran’s body as if they cost nothing.
But the result.
Zhang Zheng was quickly dumbfounded.
Lu Ran still wasn’t losing any HP!
This felt different from when he’d watched Zhao Xuan attack Lu Ran. This time, he was the one personally attacking Lu Ran. He knew his own skills’ damage and mechanics best!
But now — useless!
Lu Ran was like an immovable rock. No matter how he attacked, there was absolutely no effect. Lu Ran’s HP didn’t budge at all!
Zhang Zheng’s cold sweat came pouring down.
He hadn’t expected Lu Ran to move so fast. What a pity!
His original plan was to magic-seal Lu Ran right from the start, as fast as possible!
Unfortunately, he wasn’t as fast as Lu Ran.
Lu Ran threw the Blood Spear without any hesitation either!
Helpless.
He could only burrow underground first.
But it was precisely that gap that gave Lu Ran enough time to deploy his invincible state.
This made Zhang Zheng feel extremely uncomfortable.
But while he was uncomfortable.
Among the spectators, Lu Ran’s fans were elated.
“Haha… still not losing HP. I’m dying of laughter.”
“He beat Cong Shuang with the same trick and actually thought he could beat Lu Ran?”
“What a joke. Trash will always be trash!”
“He was running his mouth for so long. Lu Ran ignored him because he couldn’t be bothered. Did he really think he had some kind of ability?”
“My Lu Ran gege is so mighty. Even getting hit looks handsome.”
…
Even Lu Ran himself felt black lines forming on his forehead listening to this.
As for Zhang Zheng, whose mental state was already unstable, he directly twisted up, his expression turning somewhat ferocious.
Seeing that the ten seconds of magic seal were about to end.
He decisively gave up continuing to attack, because it truly had no effect whatsoever.
“You think not losing HP means you can’t lose? I told you, the championship is mine!” Zhang Zheng roared.
The long whip in his hand suddenly pressed downward.
Boom!
The ground beneath Lu Ran’s feet cracked open with fissure after fissure.
Lu Ran looked down at his feet curiously.
What kind of move was this?
Don’t tell me he’s trying to drag me into the ground?
Just as he was thinking.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the ground beneath Lu Ran’s feet instantly burst apart!
A thick totem pole shot straight out.
In a specific direction, it slammed hard into Lu Ran’s body!
Boom!
Lu Ran flew out like a kite with its string cut, heading toward the outside of the arena.
In just an instant, he flew past the protective barrier. And now, as long as Lu Ran landed on the ground, he would lose!
“Oh no!” Cong Shuang’s expression changed drastically.
Only then did she realize — Zhang Zheng’s goal was this all along!
The spectators also let out a collective gasp.
In midair, Lu Ran’s magic-seal duration had also ended, but at this moment, he simply couldn’t control his body!
“This is bad, this is bad. I only thought about Lu Ran being invincible. I forgot that falling off the arena also means losing!”
“Shameless! This Zhang Zheng is too cunning. He has no real skill!”
“It’s over, it’s over. Necromancers don’t have any movement skills at all.”
“Ugh, Lu Ran is going to lose. I really didn’t see this coming.”
…
Under everyone’s gaze, Zhang Zheng grinned wickedly, waiting for the match victory announcement.
But then, the very next second.
Bang!
Lu Ran’s body halted in midair. The next moment, a pair of enormous white feathered wings spread open, gleaming against the afternoon sunlight, standing proudly in the air!
