230: Chapter 230 Li Junze's Second Defeat and Escape, Lin Ran's New Calculations

Of course, he was not stupid; he knew that to use his Physical Body to resist this destiny dao light head-on would only lead to certain death.

Therefore, he secretly used a life-saving Talisman.

The waste-to-prodigy face-slapping system had rewarded him with special Talismans, of which there were two types in total.

One was a life-saving Talisman, which granted invincibility for one minute upon use.

The other was a counterattack talisman, which allowed one to cross a major Realm in a short period of time upon use.

During this trip to the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury, Li Junze had also completed quite a few face-slapping tasks, obtaining two counterattack talismans and one life-saving Talisman.

It was just a pity that here, the counterattack talisman could not be used, and he could only use the life-saving Talisman.

"Boom!"

The destiny dao light slammed into Li Junze's Physical Body, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, completely devoid of any follow-up, while Li Junze's Physical Body shimmered slightly with dao light, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

"Li Junze, it seems you still have some ability, being able to block this move from This Holy Son."

Lin Ran appeared, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Li Junze ahead, a meaningful smile curling the corners of his lips.

Backed by the System's reminder, he already knew that in that instant just now, Li Junze had activated a life-saving Talisman, capable of granting invincibility for one minute.

At this point, Li Junze only had one life-saving Talisman left on him.

【Ding! Detected that the Host has triggered a new Heavenly Mandate Mission. Please make the following choice!】

【Option 1: Daring to bully the women of This Son of Heavenly Mandate, you have already paved your own path to death!】

【Mission: Eliminate Dugu Yin, defeat Li Junze!】

【Reward: 23,000 destiny points, one drop of Dao-Cleansing Jade Liquid!】

【Option 2: This Son of Heavenly Mandate dislikes killing the most; only with harmony can everyone prosper!】

【Mission: Turn hostility into friendship, shake hands and make peace with Dugu Yin and Li Junze!】

【Reward: 23,000 destiny points, one "Peacemaker" halo!】

"I choose one!"

Looking at these mission options, a meaningful smile curled the corners of Lin Ran's lips, and he had new plans in his heart.

"Lin Ran!!"

"As the Dragon Commander of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, do you intend to kill This Crown Prince today?!"

"Are you not afraid that my Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty will raise an army to crusade against you?!"

Seeing Lin Ran appear, endless panic instantly surged in Li Junze's heart, yet he still strained his voice to shout sharply.

He knew that Lin Ran being able to appear here meant that his calculations had failed.

The five great Yao Race clans had completely failed to hold back Lin Ran's pace!

Or perhaps, in front of a 100,000-zhang dao tree, even if the five great Yao Race clans joined forces, they would not be a match for Lin Ran in a single exchange!

A 100,000-zhang dao tree, could it really be this terrifying?!

"Heh, raise an army to crusade against This Marshal? To tell you the truth, Li Junze, it is not just This Marshal who wants to kill you; His Majesty also wants to kill you!"

Lin Ran sneered.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Junze's heart felt a wave of panic.

It was not Lin Ran who wanted to kill him, but Li Wuqing who wanted to kill him?!

Could it be that his private affairs had been exposed?!

It seems that things can no longer be delayed; they must be done immediately!

"Li Junze, although you are the Crown Prince, you have already lost the hearts of the people. If you do not die, then who will?!"

Lin Ran sneered, urging the destiny dao tree to kill Li Junze.

Although Li Junze had the life-saving Talisman on him, he could only hold out for one minute.

And with his own dao tree, he was completely unable to resist the 100,000-zhang destiny dao tree, and could not harm the 100,000-zhang dao tree in the slightest.

If he continued to stay here, even if Li Junze had countless life-saving Talismans, it would be of no avail, and he would definitely die!

Obviously, Li Junze himself also knew this.

Ever since Lin Ran said those words to him just now, he no longer had the intention to continue fighting.

Lin Ran was blocking the front of the source heaven dao sword; even if he wanted to compete for the source heaven dao sword, he could not do it.

Now, his only option was to escape!

Even if he failed to seize the source heaven dao sword, this last move that should be played must still be played.

Let Lin Ran be smug for a few more days; once the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury closes and he returns to the Imperial City, that will be the time for that last move to be played!!

"Lin Ran, this source heaven dao sword will be temporarily placed with you; you will definitely die! You will all definitely die!!"

Li Junze fled, but the madness in his eyes before leaving was clearly captured by Lin Ran.

Immediately, the smile on the corners of Lin Ran's lips became even more meaningful.

He knew that a person who was completely approaching madness could do anything, and would even be impatient to do it!

Lin Ran did not bother with Li Junze anymore.

The fleeing Li Junze probably would never know even if beaten to death that he had already quietly become another chess piece in Lin Ran's hands.

"Master, it is Zhixue who is useless; I had no ability to overcome the strong enemies to seize the source heaven dao sword for you. I didn't expect that in the end, it would still require you to take action..."

Xuan Zhixue ran to Lin Ran's side, her little head drooping, her face full of unwillingness.

Lin Ran smiled slightly, rubbed her head, and said softly, "Are you injured?"

Xuan Zhixue looked up blankly and nodded slightly.

She had originally thought she would wait for Lin Ran's punishment; after all, Lin Ran had held back the five great Yao Race clans with his own strength, hoping that she would be able to seize the source heaven dao sword.

But now, she had failed to seize the source heaven dao sword, failing Lin Ran's trust, and she had even prepared herself to accept punishment.

However, she didn't expect that Lin Ran's first sentence would actually just be asking if she was injured?

"Hmm, you have already done very well. A damaged dao tree is no small matter; it will harm your Foundation."

"Wait for me to kill this person, and then I will restore your dao tree's injuries."

Lin Ran turned his spearhead towards Dugu Yin, and the destiny dao tree behind him bloomed with terrifying and dazzling radiance.

Looking at Lin Ran, who cared for her so much, Xuan Zhixue's heart was almost melting.

She had failed Lin Ran's expectations, but instead of receiving Lin Ran's reproach, she had received Lin Ran's care, and he was even going to restore the injuries to her dao tree.

One must ask, with such a perfect and doting exiled immortal, what more could she ask for?!

At this moment, it was not just because of the influence of the dao heart demon seed; Lin Ran's own personal charisma was also influencing her.

Lin Ran was stepping into her heart step by step, becoming the supreme, unshakable one in her heart!

"You are Lin Ran? The person who has been blocking and hindering my Heavenly God Mountain all this time?!"

Even facing the 100,000-zhang destiny dao tree, Dugu Yin was not afraid at all; instead, he confronted Lin Ran, eyeing him like a tiger.

"Indeed, and who might you be?"

Lin Ran protected Xuan Zhixue behind him and said calmly.

"Hmph! My Heavenly God Mountain has established four great halls, which are the Sword Hall, Blade Hall, Spear Hall, and Talisman Hall, and each hall has a General Son."

"And I am the Sword General Son of the Sword Hall!"

Dugu Yin said proudly.

Lin Ran suddenly realized: "Oh~ so you are the Sword General Son?"

"A while ago in Qingzhou, This Holy Son seemingly slaughtered a Spear General, who should be the same rank as you, right?"

"Looking at it this way, it seems that you four General Sons are nothing extraordinary either."
