242 Sneak Attack~

The rain poured all night.

In the pitter-patter of rain, Lu Ran fought through the entire night.

The dangers he faced were not worth mentioning.

For tonight in Rain Alley City, there were no Night of Ghosts prowling, no descent of the Demon Lord.

This cursed city finally allowed its people a moment to breathe.

Even though each battle Lu Ran encountered, each rescue mission he took part in, was fraught with peril...

This night still gave Lu Ran an illusion of "calm seas and mild winds."

He stayed with the little Rain Alley City until after midnight, battled until dawn.

Looking back suddenly, it was the initial battle with the Jade-faced Snake and the small team that had been most perilous.

"The last round."

Lu Ran whispered softly as he came to the dilapidated overpass outside Hexi Park once more.

The sky was already brightening, the small town quiet and peaceful.

Lu Ran raised his head, looking through the misty rain at the towering Wu Lie Building.
