Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

The shadow warrior's face contorted into a ferocious smile, or rather, a smile from the mask, which Gu Ran couldn't quite discern. With lightning speed, it withdrew its hand and retaliated against Gu Ran.

Fortunately, Gu Ran had been using his Sharingan and was keenly aware of his actions, so he immediately drew his sword and retreated.

This special shadow warrior is like a side character in Misaka Sisters, completely different from the one Gu Ran mindlessly slashed down before.

The heavy rain kept falling on the shadow warrior, but the raindrops evaporated quickly when they touched him, leaving him covered in white steam and making a 'sizzling' sound.

Gu Ran became even more serious and focused, gripping the knife tighter as he intently watched the shadow warrior in front of him.

"Aren't you going to save your mother and fiancée?" The Shadow Warrior seemed to be trying to sway Gu Ran's mind. It was unclear whether this was what it really wanted to say or if someone was controlling it remotely.

"Don't worry about me, but why are you so petty, actually retaliating against my family?" Gu Ran knew that Tachibana Masamune must have remembered the time he smashed Tachibana Masamune's car in front of the principal, so he took the opportunity to cause trouble for Zhang Qiong and Su Xiaoqiang.

The shadow warrior didn't refute these words. He moved his feet, perhaps wanting to continue chasing Lu Mingfei, but Gu Ran kept a close eye on him and wouldn't let him leave easily.

Such a powerful shadow warrior should be killed on the spot.

Not far away, Mai Shude, who had been aiming with a sniper rifle, finally found an opportunity to fire. As expected of a top-notch sniper, she aimed at the shadow warrior's head with lightning speed and fired three shots in quick succession.

The AS50 is an anti-materiel sniper rifle specifically designed for American special forces. This sniper rifle is extremely powerful and has a high rate of fire, capable of firing three shots in less than 1.5 seconds.

This is a rate of fire that even most anti-materiel sniper rifles can't achieve!

However, when these three large-caliber bullets struck the Shadow Warrior in the chest, he was only slightly staggered and did not suffer the slightest injury.

Mai Shude was somewhat surprised. The shadow warrior made eye contact with her from a distance, and his crimson-gold pupils captured her mind, making her feel inexplicably uneasy.

She hadn't felt threatened in a long time, and subconsciously, she took out the Philosopher's Stone bullet, which was originally intended for Erii.

But before she could even chamber a bullet, Gu Ran had already moved.

Taking advantage of the moment when the shadow warrior lost his footing, he accelerated to the maximum speed again, instantly closing the distance and slashing at the shadow warrior with his sword.

The shadow warrior still seemed to want to block with his hand, but this time Gu Ran would not make the same mistake again.

He used his Sharingan to copy Erii's Word of Power: Judgment, and he used it this time!

In the sniper scope, Mai Shude only saw Gu Ran's figure leave a blur, and then a flash of light, and the shadow warrior who was trying to block was easily cut by Gu Ran this time!

The Word of Judgment seemed to have a fatal effect. After striking the Shadow Warrior, his body did not continue to regenerate—he had survived being shot before largely thanks to his powerful regenerative and resilience.

At this moment, the shadow warrior's clothes were cut open, revealing a large area of ​​blue scales. The scales had some bullet marks, but they had not penetrated into the flesh.

This is why Lu Mingfei's bullets did not damage it; even Jiu De Mai's anti-material sniper rifle could not penetrate the Shadow Warrior's dragon armor with kinetic energy.

But this time, Gu Ran's sword pierced through his armor!

A hideous wound immediately appeared on the Shadow Warrior's chest. Under the effect of the Word of Judgment, the wound could not heal immediately, but the dragon blood on its body had extremely strong healing ability.

Mai Shude, who was observing from a distance, realized that this shadow warrior was just like her when she drank the ancient dragon serum.

But why did Gu Ran's slash carry the effect of the Uesugi family head's incantation?

After being struck by the blade, the shadow warrior seemed to chicken out and turned to run away.

Since Gu Ran had decided to take the Shadow Warrior's life, he naturally wouldn't let it go. He chased after it at an extremely fast speed and stabbed it through the neck from behind.

Gu Ran forcefully flipped the blade, completely severing its cervical vertebrae, then pulled the knife out and stabbed it in the heart.

The heart, responsible for blood transport, was punctured, and dark brown blood immediately gushed out. The scalding blood splattered onto the road, boiling on the asphalt like corrosive venom.

Gu Ran collected the blood sample from the tip of the knife and looked into the distance where Lu Mingfei had left.

Is he alright?

"What a cruel little boy." Mai Shude's eyes left the sniper scope, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

That little boy is actually quite handsome.

……

When Yuan Zhisheng came out of the back door of the restaurant, he saw Gu Ran finish off the shadow warrior.

He paused for a moment, then turned to Gu Ran, who was unusually serious in the pouring rain. He picked up the shadow warrior's corpse and tossed it to Genji: "This thing wanted to capture Erii. It's stronger than the average second-generation creature. There are surveillance cameras over there; they should have filmed my battle. Go see for yourself."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"What I'm trying to say is that there's a 'ghost' in your Sheqi family. If you don't use your not-so-bright little brain, things will get completely out of control."

The 'ghost' here doesn't refer to an out-of-control hybrid, but rather to a traitor. Yuan Zhisheng's Chinese is quite good, and he understood Gu Ran's subtext.

He was somewhat resentful. In his view, the Snake Clan should be an impenetrable fortress. Apart from the Inuyama Kazuya family head, who might have a slight misunderstanding, the others were all very loyal and would not betray their families.

Just as Genji was about to say something to refute Gu Ran, his phone and Yabuki Sakura's phone both rang.

Sakura Yabuki took it out and immediately told Genjiro, "Someone has used the patriarch's name to raise the bounty to 10 billion yen, and this bounty will be awarded to the first person to capture Miss Uesugi."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. Someone had hacked into the family's information and communication systems, using the bounty to fuel the greed of the thugs.

He could imagine how serious the thugs would be about to do!

This text message can only be received by members of the gang, and all the gang members' information is stored in Genji Heavy Industries' server room.

Yuan Zhisheng then realized that what Gu Ran said about his family being haunted was true, but he had no one to suspect.

"Now you understand, right? Your enemy is never outside, but within your own Snake-Headed Eight Families." Gu Ran said calmly. "Twice now. The last time was at Mambo Internet Cafe. Again, your Snake-Headed Eight Families had an 'insider' behind it all. I believe you haven't been able to find out anything, or perhaps you've simply not taken it seriously?"

Yuan Zhisheng then remembered the incident at Mambo Internet Cafe. He had forgotten about it after it was over, only remembering that he had been sending out pensions and helping to deal with Gu Ran's disability after he lost all four limbs.

Moreover, he investigated for a period of time but couldn't find anything, and his retainers couldn't find any clues either. The whole thing was incomprehensible, and they had no idea where the problem was.

But at this moment, Sakura Yabuki thought a little more. There were only two people in the family who could control Kaguya's computer room and had authority over it: one was Genjiro, and the other... was Tachibana Masamune.

If the matter of Mambo Internet Cafe is still not resolved, Sakura Yabuki is becoming increasingly suspicious.

Sakura Yabuki could be considered an outsider with a clearer perspective, but she didn't dare to speculate too much. She only had some suspicions because Tachibana Masamune held a very high position in the Snake Clan. He was also Genji's 'father' and the former patriarch.

Without solid evidence, Sakura Yabuki dared not rashly reveal her speculation to Genji.

Chapter 453 The Power of the Dragon-Slaying Sword

At this moment, Zhou Xinqing and Tang Shishi each came over with an umbrella. Tang Shishi, being taller, held the umbrella over Gu Ran's head.

"Let's go," Gu Ran said softly, picking up his knife and leaving with the two girls.

Yuan Zhisheng did not try to stop Gu Ran, nor did he question him about why he used his good looks to take Erii away.

When we fought side by side in the mural hall, we all spoke frankly. With different stances, we naturally relied on our own abilities to achieve our goals, and we would stop at nothing to reach them.

He, Genjiro, is no saint either; he has done many bad things, so he has no right to criticize the behavior of the four of them.

"By the way, did you think we kidnapped Erii?" Gu Ran suddenly stopped and turned around to say, "To be precise, it was actually Erii who kidnapped Lu Mingfei and wanted him to take her out to play. She has been caged for too long and longs for the outside world."

"Furthermore, I think it's really too much for you to not even let her watch TV. It's even worse than the Thunder King who doesn't allow her to go online. At least he can watch the news every day while he's in jail!"

Yuan Zhisheng listened to Gu Ran's words and remained silent for a long time.

……

On the other side, when Gu Ran's shadow clone used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Su Xiaoqiang's side, he just saw Zhang Qiong draw the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Dozens of people surrounded Su Xiaoqiang and Zhang Qiong's car. Gu Ran had given them the Civic to help them escape in advance, but Tachibana Masamune seemed to have been prepared and had gathered thugs from who-knows-where to surround them.

Zhang Qiong wouldn't be afraid of ordinary thugs at all, because Gu Ran had left enough guns and ammunition in the car. But the fact that there were mixed-race individuals among these thugs made things more complicated.

This place happens to be a wasteland, and it's quite difficult to find such a place in downtown Tokyo. It looks like a plot of land that was being demolished to build a new apartment building.

Su Xiaoqiang, who was behind the car's cover, had been through a lot and was much calmer than before. She was even holding an M4A1 rifle in her hand and aiming it with a professional air.

When the shadow clone appeared, it used not only the Flying Thunder God Technique but also the Camouflage Concealment Technique and the Super Light Heavy Rock Technique. Therefore, it was floating silently in the air, ready to launch a sneak attack.

However, Mom seems to be in complete control now. She's facing ten mixed-race people head-on without flinching at all.

"You don't think we two women are easy to bully, do you?" Unlike Gu Ran, who drew her sword to kill people, Zhang Qiong was actually chanting dragon script after drawing her sword.

"Holy crap, there are hidden uses I don't know about?" The shadow clone was a little confused after seeing this because it shared memories with the main body.

The mixed-race people surrounding her were a little confused, but as mixed-race people, they could still sense the dragon's resonance and the elemental manipulation around them.

Because they didn't know what Zhang Qiong's Word of Power was, these Japanese mixed-race individuals didn't dare to be careless and rushed over directly.

Zhang Qiong sneered, her smile so sinister that, in Gu Ran's eyes, it was as if a great villain queen was looking down on a small fry with disdain.

"Xiaoqiang, move further away from me, at least thirty meters away." Zhang Qiong shouted back. Su Xiaoqiang immediately grabbed his rifle and retreated while keeping watch. It has to be said that his movements were smooth and fluid, as if he had been trained.

The next second, Zhang Qiong raised her sword to the sky and planted it in the asphalt road. Just as the mixed-bloods who rushed forward to attack surrounded her, a dense network of electric arcs appeared around Zhang Qiong!

Immediately afterwards, large swathes of pearl-like ball lightning appeared in front of her, with individual ball lightning bolts floating around her.

The mixed-race people around were stunned for a moment, and were about to create distance and attack with their guns.

But it was too late!

Zhang Qiong pointed her sword, and the lightning balls launched an attack along the direction her sword tip pointed. The lightning ball turned into an arc of light and immediately smashed into a hybrid.

The thug who was hit instinctively raised his hand to block, but the lightning ball exploded in front of him, instantly tearing his skin and flesh. His two blocking arms were charred black by the high-temperature electric arc, and the exploding lightning ball stunned him instantly. He fell backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

The mixed-race people around were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a word of power before. This was no longer based on science, but on magic and fantasy!

The shadow clone was also stunned. Mom had this move, and its power was even stronger than Tang Shishi's Azure Thunder Domination. Each lightning ball had the power of Azure Thunder Domination.

However, Tang Shishi was exhausted after using the Azure Thunder Control technique to release a single lightning ball.

And now, Zhang Qiong is surrounded by nearly a hundred of these lightning balls!

"Go!" Zhang Qiong gave the order, and the lightning balls around her immediately flew towards the hybrids at an extremely fast speed. Gu Ran's shadow clones did not have the Sharingan, but their speed was already too fast for the naked eye to keep up with!

Therefore, these hybrids had no chance of escaping, and everyone was hit by the lightning ball.

The massive lightning orbs were like a barrage of beam cannon fire in the Raiden Fighter game, leaving no room for anyone to dodge!

Zhang Qiong defeated more than a dozen mixed-race people in front of her in one fell swoop!

"Watch out!" the shadow clone suddenly shouted from the sky.

It turns out that these mixed-race people seemed to know that Zhang Qiong was not someone to be trifled with, and they even devised a tactical capture plan. The people in front of her were just to attract her attention, and the real killing move was the two people lying in ambush behind her.

These two people were incredibly fast, leaping out from the side with the agility of cheetahs. Judging by their speed, their bloodline level was probably close to A-grade!

After speaking, the shadow clone did not go to save his mother, but instead instantly appeared next to Su Xiaoqiang, revealing his form, and then slashed the attacker with a 'purple lightning'.

These people wanted to arrest both Su Xiaoqiang and Zhang Qiong, but they thought Su Xiaoqiang was an ordinary person and that sending just one person would be enough.

Before Su Xiaoqiang could react, the woman who attacked him at close range had her upper body severed by Gu Ran's Purple Lightning.

"Don't look, don't look, it's too bloody." Gu Ran's shadow clone immediately covered Su Xiaoqiang's eyes.
