She couldn't beat this kid, so she endured it.
Seeing that his usually cold and ruthless, domineering youngest daughter was actually tolerating this boy, Zhang Youlong realized that the boy must have been spoiled since childhood.
"Looks like Zhang Qiong didn't teach you properly, so let me handle this!" Zhang Youlong turned around and glanced at the man in black who had been standing behind him. "Gong Xuan, teach this kid a lesson!"
The man in black named Gong Xuan leaped out and struck Gu Ran in the face with a "Superman Fist".
Zhang Wanjun wanted to give a word of advice: Gong Xuan was known for his strength, so this punch should not be taken head-on.
Because she had only ever seen Gu Ran use the Soft Fist technique, she didn't know Gu Ran's strength.
Gu Ran remained seated on the stone bench, unmoved. In an instant, he drew chakra from his hand and unleashed a Cherry Blossom Strike, meeting fist to fist.
Bang!
The two fists collided. Gong Xuan remained ruthless, but Gu Ran, who was sitting, still swayed backward involuntarily. Gong Xuan, on the other hand, bounced back and took several steps back before slowly regaining his footing.
He rubbed his right hand, which was a little sore.
This kid shouldn't be underestimated.
"Gong Xuan, what are you doing? Take down this unworthy descendant with all your might!" Zhang Youlong shouted.
Gong Xuan kept his mouth shut. He had actually used seven-tenths of his strength, but Gu Ran was still handling it with ease.
I'm afraid even if he used ten times the effort, he still wouldn't be able to win over this young master.
Gu Ran slowly stood up, and the next second, the stone bench he was sitting on began to split into several pieces.
When everyone saw the cracked stone bench, they realized just how much force Gu Ran had just endured.
Zhang Youlong's pupils contracted, and he looked at his grandson with some surprise.
"You've got some skills." Gu Ran smiled slightly and looked at Gong Xuan.
The power of that punch would have killed an ordinary person by bursting their liver, and if his physical strength was insufficient or he was caught off guard, he would probably have broken several ribs.
Then he looked at Zhang Youlong and said, "You've never given me a red envelope during holidays, what right do you have to be my elder? My mother hasn't even let me acknowledge you yet!"
"You... Gong Xuan, beat this man to death!" Zhang Youlong said angrily.
Gu Ran had never shown his true strength in the Zhang family, and Zhang Youlong had made Gong Xuan go all out, obviously not expecting that he might not be able to withstand it and might die under that punch.
"Go all out, fight to the death, huh? Fine." Gu Ran moved a little further away from the stone table.
He was wearing a black jacket today. He unzipped the jacket, then patted the sleeve and used the Lightning Sword Transformation to summon the Dragon Slayer Sword hidden in the sleeve.
Everyone present was stunned when they saw the Dragon Slayer Sword.
The Zhou family has the Dragon-Slaying Platform, and the Zhang family has the Dragon-Slaying Sword; both are powerful weapons for slaying dragons in China!
Gu Ran planted the Dragon-Slaying Sword, scabbard and all, into the ground, then, with his right hand on the top of the hilt, looked at Gong Xuan and Zhang Youlong with an air of superiority.
"Come on, let's go again! We'll settle this once and for all, and now we'll fight to the death! Do you dare to fight? I just don't know if your blood is good enough to feed the Dragon Slayer Sword!"
Everyone present knew the formidable reputation of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and for a moment no one dared to speak.
The usually aloof Zhang Wanjun couldn't help but chuckle: "I told you, this kid is all talk and no action, and he's just like his mother, pulling out his Dragon Slayer Sword at the drop of a hat."
Gong Xuan put his hands behind his back and rubbed his slightly sore fists.
As a retainer of the Zhang family, he was naturally aware of the Dragon-Slaying Sword's fearsome reputation, and even knew how powerful it was.
So he looked at Zhang Youlong.
Zhang Youlong was also in a bit of an awkward position. This kid had just unleashed his full killing intent, refusing to reason with him at all.
No one uses nuclear weapons before a war even begins.
"This belongs to the Zhang family, you have no right to use it!" Zhang Youlong finally managed to utter these words after holding back for a long time.
Zhang Wanjun's relationship with her father wasn't very good either.
Upon hearing this, she glanced at her hot-tempered father with a cold gaze: "Words can be dangerous. You will bear the consequences of saying such things."
Before Zhang Youlong could react, he saw Gu Ran throw the Dragon-Slaying Sword at him.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword drew a circle in the sky and planted itself in the ground in front of Zhang Youlong.
Gu Ran said to everyone, "Everyone, be my witnesses. Now, I am returning this sword to the Zhang family. From now on, I will have no further dealings with the Zhang family."
Zhang Youlong was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he still needed to send his grandson back to their ancestral home for the Spring Festival this year.
Originally, he came to the Yangtze River Delta region under orders to persuade Gu Ran.
Because within the family, only Zhang Qiong and Gu Ran possess the ability to issue 'edicts'.
The Bloodline Imprint is not something every member of the race possesses; only a select few will awaken it.
As it turns out, Zhang Youlong has a terrible temper, and now he's pushed Gu Ran away.
He then realized what Zhang Wanjun meant by "bear the consequences yourself".
Chapter 192 Taking a Helicopter to Buy Groceries
At this moment, Gu Ran took out a kunai made of fine steel, held it in his hand, looked at Gong Xuan and said, "Shall we have another round?"
This person's blood sample is at least Grade A, which is extremely rare.
"Gong Xuan, capture him! Even if I have to tie him up, I'll take him back to our ancestral land!" Zhang Youlong roared as he gave the order.
Gu Ran ignored Zhang Youlong and just stared at Gong Xuan.
Gong Xuan was also staring at Gu Ran, but his expression was even colder than before.
They glanced at each other unintentionally.
Then, Gu Ran suddenly smiled.
As he stared at Gong Xuan, he activated his Sharingan, and the three tomoe in his pupils began to spin instantly, like a windmill.
Genjutsu, Sharingan hypnosis!
The Sharingan with three tomoe can use hypnosis according to the user's own will.
Gong Xuan stared intently into Gu Ran's eyes, unconsciously becoming absorbed.
A moment later, he felt that his eyelids were actually a little tired.
I'm clearly in a fighting state right now, a time when my adrenaline is pumping, so how could I possibly be sleepy?
He immediately realized something was wrong and bit his tongue lightly, trying to regain his senses through pain.
The next second, when he regained consciousness, he saw Gu Ran's kunai pressed against his throat.
It turned out that the instant he was hypnotized, Gu Ran used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to appear in front of Gong Xuan at a speed so fast that it was almost a blur.
The contest between the two ended in an instant.
"You're dead." Gu Ran smiled, then slashed Gong Xuan's shoulder with a kunai before quickly retreating.
Gong Xuan knew that this meant Gu Ran was sparing his life.
Zhang Wanjun had seen Gu Ran fight before and even exchanged blows with him, but this time she finally understood just how powerful her nephew really was.
The hypnotic power of illusion, combined with incredible speed, allows one to end a battle in an instant.
In one-on-one situations, almost no one can rival him.
The remaining people were seeing Gu Ran fight for the first time.
To onlookers, it appeared as if Gu Ran had suddenly made a move and subdued Gong Xuan, while Gong Xuan remained completely unresponsive.
They were all stunned by his incredible speed.
Looking at Gu Ran's skills, Lü Zhong thought to himself that if one of his descendants had Gu Ran's strength, then their Lü family could last another generation.
Unfortunately, the Lü family was destined to decline.
Of all those present, Gong Xuan felt it the most deeply. He was known for his strength, but when he exchanged a punch with Gu Ran, he didn't gain the upper hand.
Gu Ran can also hypnotize, and at an extremely fast speed, which means that Gu Ran is two dimensions stronger than me.
He was no match for Gu Ran at all.
At this point, Zhang Youlong had nothing to say. Gong Xuan had been defeated, and he had no reason to presumptuously challenge his grandson.
Losing would be a very embarrassing thing.
Gu Ran took out a handkerchief, wiped the bloodstains off the bitter knife, and then casually stuffed the two items back into his pocket.
"Is there anything else, everyone? If not, I'll be going now," Gu Ran said casually.
The owner of the manor, Ji Yuanhua, was somewhat amused and exasperated. He said, "The important business hasn't been done yet. Why don't you negotiate some terms with the Lü family?"
There is actually no irreconcilable conflict between Gu Ran and the Lü family.
Lu Xue'er, who had been silent until now, said to Gu Ran, "What happened to my brother before was his fault. I apologize to you on his behalf. However... my brother also had all his ribs broken by Miss Zhang Er and received the punishment he deserved. He was also punished by Nuwa and confined to his home. Please help my grandfather. He has been suffering from the poison for so many years. He is in a lot of pain."
At this point, the Lü family still believed that Lü Yongbin had been beaten by Zhang Wanjun, and Zhang Wanjun had admitted to the incident but did not implicate Gu Ran.
Lü Xueer has a delicate oval face, exquisite features, and a slender figure.
She spoke sincerely, looking at Gu Ran with earnest eyes the whole time.
Actually, Gu Ran didn't want to do this. To be honest, detoxification is quite a mentally taxing process.
He has no relation to the Lü family, so why waste his time getting involved in this mess?
Zhang Wanjun seemed to know what Gu Ran was thinking. She gave him a wink, signaling him to go to the other side with her so they could talk.
Ji Yuanhua didn't mind, so Zhang Wanjun and Gu Ran went to the edge of the grass and started whispering to each other.
Zhang Wanjun said, "You little rascal, don't be like your mother, obsessed with money. This time, the Lü family can gain prestige."
"How much is reputation worth?" Gu Ran asked.
Zhang Wanjun really wanted to smash this kid's head, but she held back because she couldn't beat him.
She patiently explained.
It turns out that the Lü family has lived in the Xingan Mountains area for generations, a place with a particularly large number of Deadpools for certain reasons.
The Lü family has always guarded this place, ensuring peace in the region.
They didn't ask other families for help; they simply dealt with the Deadpools on their own.
