Hearing Huàn Lóng's furious roar, Nan Li used his mask ability to shed the new layer of disguise from himself and Jing Yuan.
The next second, the figures of Sea-faring Ranger Ju Feng and Liuguang quickly appeared in everyone's sight.
Nan Li, in the guise of Ju Feng, slowly walked over to Jing Yuan, playing his erhu.
Meanwhile, Jing Yuan, in the guise of Liuguang, raised the longsword in his hand, its blade pointing directly at Huàn Lóng.
"Indeed, an evil demon had set its sights on the Minghuo Merchant Troupe. From the moment we boarded, Mr. Ju Feng and I smelled an evil aura."
"I didn't expect that with just a small trick, we'd lure you out. Speak! Who exactly are you?"
Because Jing Yuan was currently playing the role of a swordsman, and a relatively young one at that.
Coupled with the fact that they didn't know Huàn Lóng, this led to such a statement.
Hearing Jing Yuan's question, Huàn Lóng, who had recovered from her anger, couldn't help but sneer contemptuously.
"Hmph, truly a newborn calf unafraid of death. Two inexperienced Sea Rangers dare to meddle in my affairs."
"As for my identity, what harm is there in telling you? Anyway, you and everyone else here are going to die."
Huàn Lóng paused for a moment, then continued to speak.
"Listen well, I am the Lord of Destruction under the Destruction Aeon — Huàn Lóng!"
As her voice fell, the crowd on the merchant ship erupted in gasps of surprise.
"What?! She, she's actually a Lord of Destruction!"
"No, is there such a person among the Lords of Destruction?"
"I don't care if you've heard of her or not. After all, who would dare impersonate a Lord of Destruction in this universe?"
"That's right, since she dares to say it, then it must be true."
"Hey, hey, hey, can you stop talking and retreating behind us at the same time?"
"Ah haha... sorry, it's just a personal habit, can't change it."
"By the way, will we survive this time? Can Mr. Liuguang and Mr. Ju Feng defeat a Lord of Destruction?"
"Impossible, just wait for death."
Although a Sea Ranger had once killed a Lord of Destruction.
But that was when the Sea Rangers used The Propagation's swarm to generate a lot of hatred.
Then they used a special, invisible killing move like super-distance bullets.
Finally, by accumulating a large number of people, they managed to kill the Lord of Destruction named "Zhu Luo."
In other words, for a Sea Ranger to kill a Lord of Destruction, or even just repel it, it would be impossible with just two people.
Thus, after learning that their chances of survival were still slim, the entire merchant ship was instantly enveloped in despair and dead silence.
Huàn Lóng was very satisfied with the reactions of the people on the merchant ship.
What she liked most was creating mental destruction.
However, a light chuckle that followed made her frown.
"Heh heh... so what if it's a Lord of Destruction? I will cut it down with a single sword."
Saying this, Jing Yuan took off the bamboo hat on his head and casually tossed it aside.
Nan Li's erhu music suddenly changed from melodious to passionate.
"Truly... arrogant!"
As her voice fell, the giant phantom of Huàn Lóng raised her hand and then gently clenched it towards the merchant ship below.
The next second, the space around the merchant ship began to shatter.
Huàn Lóng intended to crush everyone on the merchant ship, people and ship together.
Jing Yuan and Nan Li naturally wouldn't let her have her way.
The moment Huàn Lóng made her move, they had already acted.
A terrifying sword intent erupted from Jing Yuan, and then a gigantic, materialized longsword appeared behind him.
Although the weapon he used later wasn't a sword, he was still Jing Liu's disciple, right?
And as someone who had experienced countless battles, he possessed the ability to master all things once one path was understood.
As for Nan Li next to him, he continued to play the erhu.
The next second, a golden giant wielding a Fangtian ji and wearing armor appeared, its size continuously growing, already directly confronting Huàn Lóng's phantom.
This was a cultivation method Nan Li had created by referencing Jing Yuan's General and Sushang's family's Cloudhymn Sword Art.
To put it simply, it was a cultivation method that materialized battle intent.
The higher the battle intent, the stronger the summoned entity that materialized.
Of course, in terms of power, it definitely couldn't compare to the original General.
However, this cultivation method, combined with his path, also had a high potential.
To be honest, Nan Li knew a lot of things.
During the hundreds of years he wandered on the Luofu, he put effort into learning many things.
Aside from those he was very interested in, such as medicine and cultivation methods, he might not be proficient in others, but at the very least, he had a slight grasp of them.
"This is... the General!"
Seeing the golden armored giant holding the Fangtian ji, Tingyun couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
However, the next second she immediately shook her head in denial.
"No, it's not the General, it just looks a bit like him."
After all, Tingyun was considered Yukong's chosen successor, right?
She naturally had some understanding of her own Xianzhou General's abilities.
Could it be... that Mr. Ju Feng is the General?
Such a conjecture couldn't help but surface in Tingyun's mind.
In fact, Tingyun initially guessed that "Liuguang" was Jing Yuan, as the latter gave her a very strong sense of familiarity.
After many days of contemplation, and the information Nan Li revealed at the banquet a few days ago, Tingyun became even more certain that "Liuguang" was Jing Yuan.
Because of Jing Liu, he went to learn swordsmanship, and from a young age, he had the dream of becoming a Sea Ranger; all signs pointed to the same person.
However, after seeing this golden armored giant, Tingyun's previous conjectures were all shattered.
"Hmm... it must be that General doesn't want to be discovered, so he created an opposite persona."
Having now fully confirmed that "Ju Feng" was Jing Yuan, the panic in Tingyun's heart was instantly quelled.
Since their Luofu General himself was present, it meant this crisis could be resolved... The giant sword easily broke through the confinement set by Huàn Lóng.
Jing Yuan spat out the blade of grass in his mouth, then roared.
"Huàn Lóng, take this sword!"
The giant sword, now almost the same size as Huàn Lóng's phantom, directly slashed towards her.
Nan Li was not to be outdone, controlling the golden armored giant to swing his Fangtian ji and smash it fiercely onto Huàn Lóng's phantom.
"Huàn Lóng, take this great halberd!"
Feeling the power of these two attacks, the contemptuous expression on Huàn Lóng's face disappeared, replaced by deep solemnity.
"Damn it! You are not Sea Rangers at all, who exactly are you?!"
Huàn Lóng mobilized the power of Destruction to resist while angrily questioning them.
Which Sea Ranger could directly confront an Aeon Envoy head-on?
Seeing this, Jing Yuan no longer pretended.
He sheathed the longsword in his hand, then pulled out a long-handled greatsword from who knows where—his exclusive weapon, the Stonefire Dream Body.
The next second, Jing Yuan slowly floated into the air, and a golden giant wielding a long-handled greatsword and wearing armor began to emerge behind him.
"Ah? The real General? So Mr. Ju Feng isn't General?"
Tingyun felt her brain wasn't working well enough.
It turned out her initial guess was the correct answer.
"It's you, Jing Yuan!"
Huàn Lóng finally recognized Jing Yuan's true identity.
Since she chose Luofu as her target of destruction, she naturally had a sufficient understanding of Jing Yuan's information.
"Hmph! A follower of the Lord of Destruction, daring to attack the citizens under the Luofu's rule, how can I, as the General, sit idly by?"
"Huàn Lóng, you're finished! Jing Yuan just wanted to fulfill his childhood dream of being a Sea Ranger, and you came to cause trouble. Just wait for death!"
Jing Yuan and Nan Li spoke one after another.
At this, Huàn Lóng knew her time was up.
As Aeon Envoys of the same Aeon, no matter how arrogant she was, she had no confidence in completely defeating Jing Yuan.
And the person beside Jing Yuan, although the other party hadn't revealed his identity, just from the move he just showed, he was definitely not some simple individual.
If that's the case... well, it's time to run.
However, before fleeing, Huàn Lóng still had to make a threat.
"Jing Yuan, and you, whoever you are, you should be grateful you escaped with your lives.
"I have something urgent to attend to. The next time we meet, I won't let you two off so easily."
Hearing Huàn Lóng's words, which clearly implied she was "running away," Jing Yuan and Nan Li quickly attacked.
"Majestic spirit, heed my command, execute without mercy!"
"Trying to escape? Take another great halberd strike!"
The next second, the two golden armored giants were seen, one slashing with a long-handled blade, the other smashing with a Fangtian ji.
However, if Huàn Lóng, as an Aeon Envoy, truly wanted to escape, Nan Li and Jing Yuan couldn't stop her.
After all, her race was quite special, a Suiyang.
With a painful howl from Huàn Lóng and the disappearance of her giant phantom, the starry sky returned to its usual silence.
Having taken those two hits squarely, Huàn Lóng would be severely injured if not dead.
For a while, she would probably be hiding in a corner, secretly shedding tears and recuperating.
