But in the next moment, he suddenly felt a huge terror sweeping over him.
A sense of crisis instantly filled his heart.
With a loud "bang", Du Shang had no time to dodge and was knocked into the building next to him by a punch.
After knocking Du Shang away, Gu Ran also knocked away the two followers who were attacking him.
Only this time, he seemed to use some force, and the two followers' bodies were deformed, and they immediately fell to the ground, vomiting blood and died.
"I didn't control my strength for a moment." Gu Ran walked towards Du Shang, "But it doesn't matter. We are enemies anyway."
Gu Ran walked up to Du Shang and saw him stand up again. He couldn't help but smile: "Not bad, it seems that your physical strength is really very good."
Feeling the shift of his internal organs, Du Shang looked at Gu Ran in surprise.
"How is that possible? Why are you so strong? There's clearly no spiritual energy fluctuation in your body—No, that's not right, that was just your physical strength?!"
Du Shang's eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.
"Yes, you are also good at physical fighting, right? Then-" Gu Ran punched Du Shang in the face again, "Show your full strength, otherwise you may never have another chance."
"Boy, don't underestimate me!" Du Shang roared, his veins bulging and his blood boiling in his veins like magma.
A huge amount of spiritual energy rolled over and was sucked into Du Shang's body, then transmitted to his entire body through the supernatural crystal core, strengthening his physical strength.
At this moment, he could crush even a steel plate like tofu.
A faint shadow of a blue dragon hovered over Du Shang's body.
"I am Canglong!"
Du Shang's body suddenly doubled in size, with muscles like dragons and covered with scales.
"Canglong? Do you really think you are a god?" Gu Ran was just about to give this old guy who thought he was extraordinary another punch to make him face the reality.
But the next moment, an unexpected change occurred.
A triangular crystal cone suddenly flew out of Gu Ran's trouser pocket.
The triangular crystal cone did not grow larger and remained very small, suspended in the air.
Du Shang's originally bloodthirsty aura suddenly stagnated, and the three-clawed blue dragon that was faintly flying on his body seemed to whimper and completely disappeared.
Suddenly, Gu Ran felt a strong desire coming from the triangular crystal cone.
It wants the supernatural crystal core from Du Shang? !
Gu Ran clearly sensed the meaning of the triangular crystal cone, which surprised him greatly.
Although he had been able to sense some of the intelligence of the triangular crystal cone in the past, he had never felt the same desire as the man of the triangular crystal cone as he did today.
"Last time you absorbed something from the Dragon Blood River, this time you want to absorb the crystal core of an S-level mutant. What exactly do you want to become?"
Gu Ran murmured, and at the same time, his original intention to "exchange ideas" with Du Shang faded.
His own "child" was already hungry, and he couldn't just turn a blind eye so cruelly.
So, the next moment, Du Shang was horrified to find that Gu Ran's hand had penetrated into his chest and grabbed the supernatural crystal core that was connected to his heart.
With a strong squeeze, the heart shattered into pieces, leaving only the crystal core.
An expression of horror froze on Du Shang's face. He didn't understand why such a strong body of his could be penetrated so easily by the opponent.
Gu Ran placed the supernatural crystal core next to the triangular crystal cone, and the triangular crystal cone immediately emitted light, as if it was extremely hungry, and the light immediately devoured the supernatural crystal core.
Gu Ran could feel that the supernatural crystal core in his hand was slowly becoming lighter.
"It can really be absorbed." Gu Ran was a little surprised.
On the other side, Ye Ding was already dumbfounded.
What's going on
What about such a powerful leader in the ruling core
And the thing next to Gu Ran is actually absorbing the supernatural crystal core
Ye Ding looked at Gu Ran with awe in his eyes.
It's despicable that such a strong person pretends to be so ordinary.
"The other elders should have discovered you. We must act quickly." Ye Ding said immediately after seeing Gu Ran put away the mysterious device.
At the same time, he glanced at Gu Ran a few times and found that the supernatural crystal core had really disappeared completely. His eyelids couldn't help but jump.
Feeling that the triangular crystal cone seemed to be full, Gu Ran nodded.
"Okay, let's go."
It seemed that they were discussing countermeasures together, and all the elders in the ruling center were together.
When Gu Ran stepped into the hall, he surprisingly did not encounter any obstacles.
"Everyone is here, that's great, it saves me from having to travel so much."
Gu Ran didn't expect that all the special operations plots he had thought of before would be useless, and he directly attacked the door head-on.
However, after two battles with Elder Shu, Gu Ran already had a rough assessment of their fighting power.
If Elder Shu had the same strength as the previous two, this mission would not be very difficult and there would still be hope of completing it.
But the moment Gu Ran stepped into the hall, all the lights went out and suddenly became completely dim.
As it got darker, a feeling of loneliness immediately attacked Gu Ran.
The shadows seemed to transform into countless tentacles, constantly pulling him into the depths of darkness.
“Something interesting.”
This was not a psychic attack, but some kind of visual error.
If it was a psychic ability, he would be immune to it, but if it was a visual error, he would indeed fall into this trap.
After his vision was deprived and his sense of touch was disrupted, a murderous aura suddenly appeared.
It was a short sword, piercing up from behind Gu.
If it was an ordinary martial arts master or an S-level psychic, then this sneak attack would most likely have been successful.
But unfortunately, the person he attacked was a "telepath".
Gu Ran had already integrated into the surrounding environment, sensing everything around him.
Although his vision was deprived and his sense of touch was disrupted, his perception remained clear.
The dagger that was about to pierce his heart suddenly stopped because a hand grabbed the hilt.
"Martial artist from Jidong City?" Gu Ran asked tentatively. Seeing that the other party did not say anything, he continued, "I have always heard that martial artists from Jidong City like to use this kind of sneak attack trick and regard it as a part of martial arts.
"Because their own strength is very low, the martial arts skills they stole were incomplete, and they only practiced a very simple version. Now it seems that the content of their practice may be wrong. No wonder their strength is generally lower than that of martial artists of the same level.
"But you Far East City warriors are quite thick-skinned. You actually said that your own training method is special and has to be combined with such despicable means."
Gu Ran’s words are a sore spot for every warrior in Jidong City. Ordinary people may not care about it.
But for the warriors of Jidong City, what they practiced was a stolen martial art, and it was only an incomplete martial art, which was undoubtedly a very ridiculous thing.
Although so many years have passed, after being embellished and improved by countless of their predecessors, it is indeed increasingly consistent with the statement that it is their unique path.
But that shameful taboo still remained in their hearts, and now it was exposed by Gu Ran, which was equivalent to pointing at the nose and scolding.
The dagger was suddenly released by its owner and remained in Gu Ran's hand.
Then the owner of the dagger immediately disappeared from the spot.
Gu Ran's telekinesis instantly sensed that the sword would explode, and that it contained a large amount of star stone powder.
"Want to escape?" After sensing the opponent's escape route, Gu Ran immediately threw the dagger in his hand out fiercely.
Bang!
The dagger pierced into the enemy's body without any surprise.
However, there was no explosion. The opponent just let out a muffled groan and its speed remained unchanged.
"It turns out it is controllable." Gu Ran understood a little.
It must be said that although the warriors of Jidong City all followed the path of martial arts that made the warriors of Canglong City and Zhuque City lose their big teeth, they did come up with some new tricks.
When the warrior from the Far East City escaped, the darkness at the scene and all the feelings of being dragged by tentacles suddenly disappeared.
"It's indeed that warrior from Far East City."
Gu Ran thought to himself as he watched the scene in front of him gradually become clear.
"Humph, I said that the guy from the Far East City is totally unreliable. Look, he escaped." A fat and big-eared middle-aged man said in the hall.
"In fact, the guy from Far East City held back. He should have shown stronger strength instead of running away like he did now."
Another woman who looked very old said lightly.
"But Xue Yingsong is really confident. He only sent this one person to kill us, and he did it openly. Although he is indeed very powerful and was able to kill Du Shang, and the things on him are a bit weird, but now there are five of us working together."
"As long as the five of us join forces, no one in Canglong City will be our opponent."
It’s not that these elders are conceited, but the fact is that each of them is the top powerhouse in Canglong City.
Coupled with the tacit understanding they have built up over the years, if they were to join forces, their strength would far exceed what they have now.
