“…… Damn, could it be that I set the power of the formation too much? ”

Ji Ran stimulated the true qi in his body with difficulty, and launched a state of sword qi explosion, allowing himself to barely support himself from the rock wall. Then he glanced at Les, who was in the middle of the formation, shrouded in countless yellow lights, and he took a deep breath again.

"Next, Les, it's all up to you! Advancing to the Gold Rank is not something I can help with. In order to avoid being squashed by the energy you unconsciously cast, I have to go out first! ”

Regardless of whether Les heard it or not, Ji Ran turned around, pulled out the Chuxiao sword, and stabbed it hard into the rock wall. Then, my feet found a place to land and kicked hard!

The whole person leaped up in this powerful earth elemental energy, and was pressed against the rock wall not far away. Then, he repeated the previous movements, and just like that, he climbed to the top of the sinkhole step by step.

The violent magical energy in the middle of the sinkhole was bombarded by the sudden explosion of earth elemental energy below for a while, and it was emitted into the air. Of course, this situation should only be temporary...... Because the roots of those magical energies are still in the sinkhole. But at this time, it has provided Ji Ran with great convenience - at least he doesn't have to be harassed by those negative states anymore.

Therefore, he quickly rushed out of the sinkhole, saw the other people, and also saw the strange scene in mid-air.

In fact, when you are promoted to the Golden Rank, there must be quite a big vision. Rather than advancing to the Silver Rank, the Gold Rank can be seen almost from afar - unless you are promoted in a closed place.

Rice's promotion was not closed, however, because there were few other adventurers around. So. The anomalies are striking. But no one else saw it.

In mid-air, countless yellow beams of light formed a huge pillar of light, and those violent magical energies were wrapped around the yellow pillar of light, forming a colorful circle in the air - from a distance, it was really beautiful.

But whoever was present knew the horror of this huge pillar of light.

The energy contained in it is not something that ordinary silver levels can touch...... Even Ji Ran only dared to climb up cautiously against the rock wall. If you accidentally fall within the range of that pillar of light. Although it will not turn to stone immediately, it is inevitable that it will be seriously injured all of a sudden.

"This is the sight...... It's so beautiful......" Ryan looked up at the pillar of light, his face a little distracted.

"If I can advance to the Golden Rank in the future, will I have such a beautiful scene?" Lydia stood beside Erin, looking up at the pillar of light that seemed to lead to the sky, muttering to herself.

"It's too strong...... When can I be so strong......" Baker looked at the pillar of light, clutching his spear tightly in his hand.

Ji Ran walked over and exhaled.

"Judging by this burst of energy. Rice's promotion this time is nine out of ten. So, we need to do some preparations. He said. He pulled all sorts of strange things out of his backpack space.

Everyone else looked strange, and Erin even asked, "What are you going to do here?" Is it a trap to test Rice's strength after promotion? ”

Ji Ran rolled his eyes helplessly: "Les's successful promotion is the golden rank, how can this kind of thing test his strength?" These are the things I used to catch that black storm. ”

"Black Storm? That thing will come over? Ryan's eyes lit up. Ji Ran said before that although Black Storm can't be given to him, if there are other undead, he can share some......

Besides, the Black Storm was a collection of undead gathered by countless ghosts—a piece of it would be enough to cut it off for its own use, right?

This undead spirit can often be divided into many parts. And each part can be refined into a separate undead - or the kind of undead who have no self-consciousness, which is the easiest to control. It's just that the strength will be slightly worse, but for yourself, it is the most suitable.

After all, you know your own strength...... The difficulty of controlling such undead will become very small. Moreover, this kind of undead will have the potential to develop - as long as you catch the undead such as ghosts of similar rank, you can join in the future.

Theoretically, the potential of such undead is limitless...... Of course, it is not easy to really cultivate it. But after all, there's a chance, isn't it?

However, the strange thing now is, why is Ji Ran sure that the black storm will come?

"Quite simply, if it doesn't come again, there's no chance. Les will become a Golden Tier, and its power will not be able to fight against the Golden Tier at all...... Then, he's going to give up on Sylvia. But Sylvia's attraction to it is unparalleled. ”

Ji Ran explained. In fact, Sylvia was also telling him that the feeling of the black storm was getting stronger and stronger.

That guy must have noticed the light of Rice's advancement, so he's rushing over!

Sylvia was no stranger to the crowd, even though none of them had communicated with her - and Vane had only heard about it from others. But everyone knows her current state. The purpose of the black storm to devour Sylvia is clear to everyone.

Indeed, this is the last chance. If you miss this time, Black Storm will no longer have the capital to directly fight against everyone...... The strength of the Golden Rank will absolutely suppress him!

The ceremony of promoting to the Golden Rank will definitely not be short. If the Black Storm wasn't far from here, it would have had enough time to snatch Sylvia away!

If Ji Ran wasn't that strong......

Of course, Ji Ran's armed alchemy has not lasted long, and the Black Storm may be able to survive with some small means. But with these magic weapons refined by Ji Ran as traps, the chances of the Black Storm are not great......

But Black Storm didn't know. All it knows is that now is the right time to snatch that strange ghost! If possible, destroy that Golden Rank Advancement again, and you will be able to gain more things!

If the guy who has risen to the gold rank dies. Then under its influence. Maybe you will turn into a powerful undead. Devour this undead. Maybe his strength will leap to the gold level!

That way, it would no longer be afraid of those Gold-tier powerhouses, and it could even fight them head-on. When the time comes, you will become stronger and stronger!

Becoming stronger is already the biggest pursuit of the Black Storm now.

"It's coming, it's getting closer......" Sylvia contacted Ji Ran in the early dawn sword, and there was still a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'm well prepared. That guy won't do you any harm and will be your tonic...... Your gold-level body will soon be in sight. And maybe you'll be able to appear in your original form in the future, so you won't have to talk to me all the time. ”

Ji Ran teased Sylvia, and by the way, she eliminated her nervousness.

"Hmph, of course I know this, I'm not scared, I'm just excited!" A tsundere girl like Sylvia is naturally duplicitous......

Ji Ran asked the others to hide first, and he quickly made arrangements. All kinds of magic weapons were buried in the ground by him. It was formed into a formation with the theme of magic weapons. This formation is specially prepared for the Black Storm.

Far away. A corner of the sky darkened. It can be seen that the black storm is rushing towards this side at a very fast speed!

Rice's promotion continued, and the soaring pillar of light showed no signs of weakening. The furious energy that revolved around the pillar of light kept bursting into huge sparks, looking from afar, like a huge firecracker...... And the energy fluctuations it emitted also made the surrounding demonic beasts flee one after another.

For those demonic beasts who don't have sanity, this energy with a ruining aura is too terrifying.

But Black Storm isn't the kind of guy who doesn't have a sane, he's cunning and greedy. The strange ghost drew it in like a meal, and it tried to swallow her with all its might!

Then, it arrived at the place where Ji Ran was.

"I didn't expect you to dare to come out." Ji Ran stood up straight and looked at the black storm indifferently.

"I didn't expect you to run away." Black Storm still communicated with Ji Ran in that low tone.

"Do you really think you can take this sword of mine from my hands? You know, it was you who escaped last time when the wolf bèi! ”

Ji Ran pulled out the long sword and looked at the black storm with a cold look in his eyes.

"It's my home turf...... You never know what kind of power I can exert in this land! ”

The Black Storm roared, and its spinning speed suddenly increased. Then, in the surrounding land, countless magical energies were sucked into the body by the black storm from all directions!

"Although these forces don't really make me strong, as long as there is such a time, it is enough!" There was a hint of hideousness in the sound of the black storm.

Then, the size of the black storm suddenly increased, enveloping Ji Ran in it all at once!

Black Storm used the same tactics as the last time, but this time, the effect was different.

Countless ghosts carried the chaotic magical energy of this area, and kept bombarding Ji Ran's body!

Ji Ran regretted it a little. If he had known that Black Storm had this trick, he wouldn't have taken off the armor that affected his movements—at least the armor was still very resistant to the magical energy of this place.

And now, he has been hit significantly harder than the last time. Moreover, these magical energies are very difficult, and it also makes his sword qi unable to leave his body too far!

In other words, he can't release that kind of big move last time. Even if he gathered a large amount of sword qi again and released his sword technique with all his true qi, the power could only be limited to a short distance around his body.

It's still powerful, and it can still shatter the gray-white ball with a single blow - but what's the use if you can't touch it?

It seems that after the last time the black storm was injured and returned, he also studied the method of dealing with Ji Ran.

Now, Ji Ran could only use the long sword in his hand to resist the bombardment of those ghosts and magical energy, avoiding allowing himself to be subjected to more attacks.

"Hahaha, how many means can a martial artist have to deal with the undead? Limits your attack range, you can't even hurt me! If you're like that, what can you do to deal with me? Black Storm laughed arrogantly, and the piercing voice was extremely uncomfortable.

“…… But it's not easy for you to hurt me. Ji Ran took a deep breath and dragged the long sword beside him.

The end of the world is just around the corner! Flowing Wind!

Instead of rushing to the core of that black storm, he slammed out to the outside!

While staying outside of the Black Storm would make it more difficult to guide the Black Storm to attack its core - it also meant that the Black Storm could not affect him from within.

Although it is still an unfair battle, after all, it is much better than being beaten here and not being able to fight back.

The continuous rush skills were unleashed, and Ji Ran suddenly broke through the edge of the black storm. Although the spinning black storm had an extremely strong suction power inside, it was not difficult for Ji Ran to resist.

"What about rushing out? Where can you flee to? You're all in my pocket for me! Oh yes, you can become a golden...... What a change! Let me see how long your Gold Tier can last! ”

Believing that he had seen through Ji Ran's tricks, the Black Storm Principal was incomparable. Its body grew larger and larger as it absorbed more and more magical energy. Those chaotic magical energies could not form any effective magic, but they had amazing destructive power. The core of the Black Storm is completely oblivious to this destructive power - even if it kills some ghosts for it? The ghosts it holds, endlessly!

Most of the people who died here were absorbed into his body. Coupled with the fact that it has been wreaking havoc on the barren grasslands for so many years, it has added more parts to its body......

This guy with that strange ghost will never escape the palm of his hand!

"Really...... But I think that even if I don't become a gold tier, I still have the ability to kill you. Ji Ran stood in front of the black storm, smiled, and then stomped his foot hard.

With a bang, within the vast surrounding area, all kinds of strange lights suddenly appeared.

The light staggered and slammed into the sky. Then, higher up than the Black Storm, they intertwined to form a giant net-like shape. And inside the net, it is the black storm that is trapped!

Even if the body of the Black Storm is an endless undead that can break through the blockade of most entities and energies - but Ji Ran's formation is obviously aimed at the undead. Black Storm suddenly found that he could not move beyond the net at all, but was constantly weakened by the light that was woven into the web around him!

"Damn it! What did you do! Do you think this will trap me? You're dreaming! The black storm's rotation suddenly accelerated, and countless magical energy emanated from its body, colliding with the net circle! (To be continued......)
