Gu Ran narrowly avoided them.
However, before Gu Ran's body could recover, other tentacles flew over again.
This time, Gu Ran was finally unable to avoid it and was caught by these tentacles.
The tentacles that bound Gu Ran stuck tightly to his skin, and like tree roots absorbing water, countless small tentacles spread out and penetrated into his body.
Then, Gu Ran's mental power was absorbed at a much faster speed than before.
Gu Ran was not panicked. His muscles bulged and veins popped out.
He suddenly exerted force with his arms, stretched them to both sides, and tried to forcibly break free from the tentacles.
But these tentacles are not dead objects. When Gu Ran exerted force on his body, they followed the direction of Gu Ran's force and relaxed the force that was wrapped around Gu Ran.
Gu Ran was unable to do anything with them.
But when Gu Ran's strength was exhausted, they clung to him again like maggots attached to his bones.
Even tighter than before.
Gu Ran tried to break free twice by brute force, but was defeated both times by this method.
Gu Ran felt helpless.
He knew that his body was indeed targeted today, and this was a case of using softness to overcome hardness.
Gu Ran immediately changed his mind and thought of other ways to crack the problem.
In just a moment, Gu Ran came up with a second method.
These small tentacles extending from the huge tentacles are as flexible as rubber bands and can withstand any force he uses.
It is a method of using softness to overcome hardness.
But can they withstand being sharp
Because his body was too strong, Gu Ran had always relied on his own body in the past.
But in fact, apart from his body, he still has other cards to play.
Gu Ran once again flexed his muscles.
The tentacles loosened.
"It's useless, Gu Ran. No matter your body or your mind power, you can't do anything about the touch of these rules."
Xue Yingsong on the side smiled confidently as if she had won.
After the tentacles that were bound like ropes left gaps, Gu Ran did try to use his telekinesis to transform it into a sword and try to cut the tentacles.
But once he started, Gu Ran found that this approach was indeed effective and the tentacles were indeed disappearing.
But this method was too slow. He didn't know whether it would take decades or hundreds of years to cut one tentacle.
Xue Yingsong didn't seem surprised, and there was still a faint smile on his face.
But Gu Ran was not discouraged. On the contrary, he was very happy.
Because what he just did was a test of the "hardness" of these tentacles.
The test results were completely in his favor.
Although the sword materialized by his telekinesis was too slow in cutting, it was efficient after all. It was not like trying to break free with brute force, which was not efficient at all and was a dead end.
Since the sword materialized by telekinesis is not sharp enough, why not just make the telekinesis sharper
A thought came to my mind.
The "rope" on Gu Ran's body suddenly broke into two pieces. He moved his body and immediately got out, swimming away like a slippery loach.
For the first time, shock appeared in Xue Yingsong's eyes.
"Is this... a sword?"
"Gu Ran, when did you use the sword?"
Gu Ran grasped the sword and fired several telekinetic slashes, cutting the tentacles that were still trying to chase him into pieces.
“I just started using it.”
Seeing that the attack of this sword was indeed effective against these tentacles, Gu Ran felt relieved and replied to Xue Yingsong.
In fact, he always kept this sword hanging at his waist.
When the physical body and mental power that he had relied on in the past were not producing very good results, Gu Ran immediately thought of this sword that could amplify mental power.
Just in time!
"No, that's not right. Even if you use a sword, you shouldn't be able to cut through the touch of rules!" Xue Yingsong murmured to himself.
"Why did you succeed?"
"There's something wrong with your sword!"
Xue Yingsong's eyes suddenly widened and looked at the sword in Gu Ran's hand.
"Where did you get this sword?"
"This is... Niyuan Martial Arts Hall, you got it from Cheng Caimeng!"
Xue Yingsong just glanced at the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall below and understood what had happened.
After a moment of silence, Xue Yingsong couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "Haha, I never thought, I never thought, that one day I would fall into the hands of a little girl who hasn't even reached the level of a martial arts golden elixir."
"If I had known this day would come, I should have eradicated the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall."
"But it's impossible to predict everything. Is this also part of fate?"
Gu Ran looked at Xue Yingsong and said, "Principal, it's not too late to turn back. You don't want Xi Ling to see you like this, do you?"
Xue Yingsong shook her head: "It's too late. If I can't save Xiao Ling, I will never have another chance."
Xue Yingsong knew that Gu Ran meant that he had not yet completely integrated into the rules and was still in human form.
But is he the kind of person who would care about his own safety
All he wanted in his heart was for his goals to be achieved.
Gu Ran sighed in his heart and made one last effort.
"Principal, look at what has become of this land that gave birth to you and raised you?"
Both of them have telekinesis.
As long as you spend a little time extending your mental power, you will be able to understand the current situation in Canglong City.
At this moment, Canglong City no longer had the vitality it once had before.
Countless buildings collapsed, black smoke rose, and flames raged.
There were countless bodies lying on the streets, they died from various reasons.
But what they have in common is that they died with their eyes open.
They died with weapons in their hands.
But the targets of their attacks were not those extraterrestrial species, but each other, humans, their former companions, and their own families.
There were even quite a few children among the corpses.
They were supposed to be the future of Canglong City, but now they have become cold corpses.
The sounds of noise, fighting, burning and so on combine to form a song called "Madness and Death".
This is the sorrow of Canglong City!
"Principal, don't you have any special feelings when you see this scene? All of this is because of you."
"Even though you made an agreement with the Demon General, you still remembered to evacuate the innocent residents, even though it would leave a flaw in the show."
"But now, you no longer care about the people of Canglong City? Even if they died because of you, even if they died in front of you like this, you would be completely indifferent?"
"Principal, have you really changed?"
Gu Ran's words made Xue Yingsong's face pale, but in an instant her eyes were filled with determination again.
"There's no point in saying more, Gu Ran. Just think of me as someone who has changed. The past is the past."
"Even without me, they will encounter such things in the future."
"Destruction is inevitable, and death is also inevitable."
A trace of anger suddenly arose in Gu Ran's heart.
"Since you can predict the future, you should also know that the future is not immutable and cannot be changed. Why do you have to take this path?"
Suddenly, Gu Ran’s telekinesis sensed a familiar person. He was stunned and stopped advising Xue Yingsong.
No, to be precise, it was a familiar corpse, because now she was dead.
That was a little girl.
Judging from the traces at the scene, she was killed by her mother with a kitchen knife.
The reason why Gu Ran felt familiar with the girl was because the little girl once gave him a wreath she had woven herself.
It was shortly after he fought with Lilith, when he still had a strong sense of belonging to Canglong City. A little girl said that he was the hero of Canglong City, gave him the wreath in her hand, and then skipped home to her mother.
