The tree's branches were wide and strong, large enough to accommodate the two of them. At the same time, the iron box and Zhang Ronghua, who was still in Tsukuyomi mode, were also placed on the tree trunk.
With Gu Ran's help, Zhou Yancheng was instantly lifted into the air like a bird. He was utterly shocked. He looked down at the tree, which was at least twenty meters above the ground, but Gu Ran had lifted him up in no time.
This is incredible! It's beyond what he knew about the abilities of hybrids.
"You all stay here and wait for me to come back." Gu Ran left these words and quickly disappeared.
Standing on high ground, Gu Ran used his Sharingan to observe the surrounding terrain and quickly analyzed the direction of the flood after the power generation dam and flood control dike were destroyed.
On the ground, the people in the town were still quite confused, dawdling and at a loss. The Ming family's private soldiers, upon hearing that Ming Changda was dead, were somewhat skeptical and wanted to go to the cave base to check.
However, after Gu Ran came out, the cave base was sealed again with earth magic, so they couldn't see anything.
The news came so suddenly that these warlords' private soldiers dared not make a move.
Those "coolies" who were trafficked here have become numb from being locked up for so long that they have no desire to leave. So they continue to work at their jobs and dare not escape again.
Only Zhang Manli, upon hearing the broadcast, immediately took action, defeating all the mercenaries guarding her, then left the office and quickly departed from the town.
As she leaped between houses above the town, she spotted Gu Ran standing in the upper reaches of the town.
She watched his retreating figure, lost in thought, before leaping away and disappearing into the jungle.
Gu Ran looked at the people below without any sympathy. He had already given them a chance, and helping them block the flood was more than enough.
He can't do any more; he doesn't have the ability.
Silently counting down in his mind, five seconds before the bomb exploded, Gu Ran leaped into the air and used the Light and Heavy Rock Technique to fly through the air.
The next moment, explosions began to erupt simultaneously from the town, dam, flood control dike, and cave base, the deafening sounds echoing through the open mountains and forests.
People who were still watching from below the town finally felt the tremors and shaking underground. The buildings collapsed with a roar because the load-bearing columns were blown off!
Fortunately, after hearing the announcement, some of the people inside had already left the building and come to the open space outside.
However, even after arriving at the open space, they still could not escape the fate of being buried, because drainage ditches and basements had been dug beneath the open space, and bombs had been planted in these places by the Zhang family of Nanyang.
Caught off guard, the ground suddenly began to collapse, and people on the ground fell into the large pit in droves.
At the same time, the bomb explosion also ignited methane gas in the sewers, causing an even larger explosion.
Because the bombs exploded simultaneously, the explosions lasted for less than ten seconds. The greater damage came from the subsequent landslides, ground subsidence, and collapsed buildings.
Meanwhile, the floodwaters from the nearby dam, which had been destroyed, began to surge in.
Zhou Yancheng, supporting his dazed sister, watched as the raging floodwaters, like a tiger descending a mountain, surged toward the town.
Zhou Yancheng was deeply shocked by the scene, but what shocked him even more was that Gu Ran was standing at the very bottom of the flood, facing the cascading torrent.
His figure appeared so small amidst the raging torrents.
In an instant, Gu Ran had already created nine shadow clones, each of which simultaneously formed hand seals before pressing a palm onto the ground.
Immortal Technique: Earth Escape - Earth Flow Wall Technique!
The next second, an earthen wall rose out of thin air on the ground of each shadow clone, each wall being about ten meters wide and five meters high.
With the blessing of the immortal magic, the Earth Flow Wall technique became even more solid. Gu Ran even had spare time to place a few dog head carvings on the Earth Flow Wall for decoration.
Instantly, the floodwaters crashed against the earthen wall. To reinforce the wall, Gu Ran used Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique to increase its weight and make it even stronger.
A 90-meter-wide earthen wall blocked the flood and forcibly changed the direction of the flash flood!
Zhou Yancheng, who was not far away, was stunned by what he saw. This was the ability of the most outstanding hybrid in China. It was no exaggeration to call it a god!
He had never imagined that humans could alter the terrain and withstand flash floods in an instant.
Gu Ran, who had been standing in front of the flash flood, was like a god.
Just then, Zhou Yancheng suddenly heard the sound of a helicopter behind him.
Thinking it was Zhou Shushu, he immediately waved to signal his location.
The people in the helicopter seemed to have spotted Zhou Yancheng as well, and began to circle in his direction.
Zhou Yancheng was about to carry his younger sister and try to get onto the helicopter when suddenly he noticed that someone inside the helicopter had taken out a sniper rifle from the cabin.
Zhou Yancheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and instinctively hugged his younger sister tightly, covering her small body with his own.
Suddenly, the sniper rifle fired, and a bullet struck him.
Zhou Yancheng glanced to the side and discovered that the person he had sniped was actually Zhang Ronghua.
A bullet pierced Zhang Ronghua's head, splattering his brains everywhere; he appeared to be dead.
Then, the sniper didn't stop; he loaded another bullet and aimed it at Gu Ran.
Gu Ran turned around and met the sniper's gaze, staring intently at the sniper's finger with his white eyes.
The instant he pulled the trigger, Gu Ran used a teleportation technique to leave.
The bullets hit the open ground, creating a series of explosions!
Gu Ran was extremely fast; with Sage Mode combined with Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his speed was truly as fast as lightning.
He glanced back at the open space and immediately deduced from the energy fluctuations of the bullets that the opponent was actually using Philosopher's Stone bullets!
The helicopter hovered high in the air, about 100 meters above the ground. They seemed certain that Gu Ran couldn't get up, so they didn't fly any higher. However, the snipers and the observers on the helicopter couldn't find Gu Ran at this time.
Gu Ran didn't use invisibility; instead, he moved so fast that they couldn't detect him with the naked eye.
He quickly found the largest tree closest to the helicopter, attached chakra to the soles of his feet, and ran to the top of the tree.
……
(A wall without a dog's head isn't a real wall!)
I used this meme too, but non-Naruto fans probably won't get it.
Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone! (Although the festival will end in about twenty minutes.)
Chapter 335 Dirty Blood
At the top of the tree, Gu Ran arrived directly below the helicopter and leaped up, then used the ninjutsu Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique to lighten his body.
In this way, he soared into the sky at an extremely high speed, like a rocket taking off.
Because of his extremely fast movement speed, the people in the helicopter still hadn't spotted Gu Ran, but they could faintly hear a dragon's language coming from the mist.
For some reason, these assassins suddenly had a bad feeling!
The next second, the helicopter pilot looked at the figure in front of the windshield and exclaimed, "Holy crap, he's right in front of us!"
The area directly in front of the helicopter is a blind spot for shooting; no matter how the people at the side door aim, they cannot fire bullets at the person in front of them.
The one reciting the dragon script was Gu Ran, and the spiritual power he guided as he flew into the sky was the Azure Thunder Judgment.
Several bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky and struck Gu Ran with lightning speed!
The assassins initially thought the lightning was aimed at them, but little did they know it was striking Gu Ran.
Before they could figure out what was going on, Gu Ran's pupils turned bright red. His three-tomoe Sharingan quickly analyzed the direction of the lightning strike from the sky and reacted in a fraction of a second. At the same time, he guided his Lightning Release chakra, merging the lightning strike from the sky with his own chakra, and launched a targeted attack on the helicopter in front of him.
Immortal Technique: Lightning Release: Qilin!
The ultimate in Lightning Release ninjutsu!
With the added blessing of Sage Mode, the power of the ninjutsu can be amplified, making this arguably Gu Ran's strongest lightning strike!
Just then, the assassins on the helicopter saw a huge Qilin suddenly appear in the sky. The Qilin bared its fangs and let out a deafening roar, and in an instant, it charged down at the plane.
The next second, all the instruments on the helicopter malfunctioned due to the high voltage of the lightning. At the same time, the tail and the top propeller were shattered by the lightning, and all the assassins on the helicopter were stunned by the lightning.
The helicopter, having lost power, was destined to crash. It fell to the ground instantly, and because the fuel tank hit the ground, it exploded violently, sending flames soaring into the sky.
However, Gu Ran did not let his guard down because of the helicopter explosion. Hybrids have dragon genes and are very resilient. He had to see them die with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.
Therefore, Gu Ran landed quickly, his right hand on the hilt of the Dragon Slayer Sword, ready to draw the sword at any moment.
Sure enough, four Dead Servants suddenly emerged from the firelight. They were all in the form of little dragons, just like the assassins we encountered at Tian Ding Mountain more than a year ago. Before they died, they would take a gene potion to enhance their bloodline.
However, this was merely a last-ditch struggle.
Gu Ran instantly drew his sword, and with a flash of light, the heads of the four Death Servants fell to the ground, instantly killing them.
The Dragon Slayer Sword returned to its sheath, complaining again: "Can I please stop getting this filthy blood on me? It's truly disgusting."
"I just don't understand, you're a living being, and you don't even have a sense of smell, so why are you always making me feel nauseous?" Gu Ran complained.
The lively creature huffed and puffed, "This filthy blood has hormones added to it, as well as other chemical and biological components. It's corrosive, okay!"
"You mean you can't stand the additives in the blood? Why are you so picky? It's just that there are a lot of preservatives and other technological ingredients. And alchemical weapons are afraid of corrosion? That doesn't make sense!"
Gu Ran retorted without holding back against the Dragon Slayer Sword, which seemed to know it couldn't win the argument, so it fell silent.
At this moment, three more helicopters arrived. Gu Ran rolled her eyes and observed them, spotting Zhou Shushu on one of them.
He leaped up the tree and stood in front of Zhou Yancheng.
Zhou Yancheng was somewhat excited. Whether it was creating an earthen wall out of thin air from the ground or guiding a Qilin Thunder Beast from the sky, it all broadened his horizons.
He said to Gu Ran with awe, "You're really amazing..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Ran used his Sharingan to hypnotize him.
"Forget what just happened," Gu Ran ordered him, telling him to forget about using the earthen wall as a flood and the Lightning Release: Kirin.
Zhou Yancheng was momentarily dazed and fainted slightly. Gu Ran supported him and then looked at Zhou Yancheng's sister who was not far away.
Seeing her dazed look, Gu Ran realized she hadn't noticed him during the fight, so there was no need for him to hypnotize her.
Zhou Shushu, who had mobilized three helicopters to arrive here, was stunned when he saw Gu Ran, and then when he saw Zhou Yancheng, he immediately jumped from the helicopter to the top of the tree.
Zhou Shushu was both skilled and daring, completely unafraid of falling. Fortunately, she landed safely on a tree.
"What's wrong with him?" Zhou Shushu asked, looking at Zhou Yancheng.
"He's probably too tired, he should rest for a while." Gu Ran casually lied, leaving Zhou Yancheng aside, "You take his sister onto the helicopter first."
“Okay.” Zhou Shushu nodded, told the crew to lower the rope ladder, and then, holding Zhou Yancheng’s sister, he climbed up with one hand.
Zhou Shushu's bloodline is not bad. Judging from his physical qualities, he is at least an A-level. Moreover, Gu Ran remembers that his Word of Power is 'Blazing', which can release high-temperature flames that turn the surrounding area into a sea of fire. It is a Word of Power with a very high danger level.
The three helicopters did not land, but hovered above the treetops. The people in the two helicopters were Zhou Shushu's mercenaries. Judging from their tactical posture, they were well-trained, and some of them looked like they had been on the battlefield.
Gu Ran woke Zhou Yancheng up. Zhou Yancheng looked bewildered, not understanding why he had fallen asleep.
