The Book of Revelation is the most mystical and mysterious chapter in the Bible. One verse says that the Lamb opened the seven seals when the end times came.
When the first seal was unveiled, a white horse with a thunderous roar leaped out, and the knight on its back held a bow and wore a crown, symbolizing conquest.
When the three seals behind are unveiled, three more knights emerge, riding red, black, and pale green horses respectively, symbolizing war, famine, and death. The last one is the most terrifying, as even the underworld descends with him.
"That's it?"
Gu Ran was not afraid of the so-called underworld and the end of the world at all. He just chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and broke free from the illusion.
He first glanced at Victoria, noticing her struggling expression, then immediately gathered chakra in his palm, patted her back, and channeled the energy into her body.
Victoria then came to her senses.
"Alright, continue filming. Your task is to film the scenes of Zhao Xuzhen's transformation into a dragon and his collusion with dragons."
Gu Ran patted her on the shoulder.
"Yes, President."
Victoria was truly impressed by Gu Ran at this moment, for it was he who had helped her break free from the illusion once again.
As for Isabel, she had her eyes closed and was resisting the illusion on her own.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Ran decided to use his chakra to help her.
“I can break free on my own,” Isabel said stubbornly.
“I know, but we’re in a hurry.” Gu Ran tossed the golf bag into her hands. “Now that the dragon has emerged, it’s time to slay it.”
Isabel glanced around. The ordinary people were all kneeling on the deck, worshipping the dragon in the sky, hoping to be saved, as if Zhao Xuzhen and the dragon were the only saviors in the world.
She knew she was holding the dragon back; if that dragon had attacked, she might have died, so that wasn't the time to be reckless.
She didn't apologize, because what was needed now was action, so she opened her golf bag, took out the anti-materiel sniper rifle, and began assembling it.
"So, you're from the Secret Party." Zhou Minhao then noticed the half-rotten World Tree school emblem on the sniper rifle and their ammunition, which consisted only of mercury-core blunt gold armor-piercing rounds. "It seems you didn't expect to encounter a true dragon either."
"Who would have thought that the Temple of Solomon would raise dragons?" Gu Ran took out the Ichimonji Norimune from his bag, held it in his arms, and lazily looked at the dragon.
In the distance, a flock of crows flew in, calling out repeatedly, "Jiang Wanzhi, Jiang Wanzhi, Jiang Wanzhi..."
The person kneeling on the deck was also saying, "Jiang Wanzhi, Jiang Wanzhi, Jiang Wanzhi..."
"Jiang Wanzhi, you come here right now, or I'll make everyone here pay with their lives!" Zhao Xuzhen roared fiercely.
Jiang Wanzhi stood up with a limp, hugged her husband Bai Shanglu, and whispered, "Xiao Bai..."
"No, I won't let you go!" Bai Shanglu hugged Jiang Wanzhi tightly. "I'm in charge of this today. I won't let you go, and I won't let go!"
No matter how many people around him called Jiang Wanzhi's name, Bai Shanglu refused to let go.
Jiang Wanzhi was also reluctant to leave, tears streaming down her face.
"Did Zhao Xuzhen just make a criminal declaration to slaughter humanity? Did you film it?" Gu Ran asked Victoria.
Victoria's hands trembled slightly; simply facing the dragons had exhausted all her strength.
She said with difficulty, "I took a picture, I took a picture."
"Good, don't be afraid. He's just a terrorist who controls a giant lizard. We have a sense of justice, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Gu Ran patted Victoria's head again, like coaxing a little girl, and added some chakra to calm her down.
On the other side, Isabel had also assembled her anti-materiel sniper rifle. She was of better lineage than Victoria, and therefore more composed.
"President, how should we fight?" she asked.
Gu Ran said, "On my command, aim at the dragon's wings and shoot it down."
"And then what?" asked Zhou Minhao.
"Let's charge in and fight each other like real people!" Gu Ran said.
"Reckless!"
Zhou Minhao shook his head, thinking that Gu Ran had some good battle plan.
What's the difference between rushing in and suicide?
He raised the Dragon-Slaying Platform and slammed it against its scabbard. The platform emitted a deep, muffled roar, a roar so calm and majestic that it could actually shut out the shouts of those people.
Old Man Jiang also came to his senses at this moment. He hugged his daughter and told her not to go to see her off, because as a father, he couldn't bear to part with her...
Zhou Minhao knew that this could only temporarily deter Zhao Xuzhen, but still could not truly defeat him, so he took out his phone and made a video call with someone.
Bai Shanglu thought to himself, "Why make a phone call at a time like this? Shouldn't we just draw our swords? That must be a secret weapon, right?"
The call connected, and a girl with a round face and a pointed chin appeared in the video. She looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, but her eyes were very bright and lively.
She said irritably, "Bai Shanglu, I'm playing Cassiopeia, it's a winning game, we've already pushed onto the high ground, you'd better get to the point."
Zhou Minhao said seriously, "Lord Nuwa, the situation is urgent. I want to activate the Dragon-Slaying Platform."
The young girl was stunned for a moment: "Zhou Minhao, what's wrong with you? I told you before, the Dragon-Slaying Platform is a token, not a weapon! The Dragon-Slaying Platform represents the attitude of our Zhou family. The other party should have backed down after just one look. Does that idiot not want to give us face? Letting him answer the phone, what a shameless bastard!"
“He probably can’t talk to you on the phone.” Zhou Minhao pointed the camera at the dragon. “Master Nuwa, please zoom in on the screen.”
After taking a look, Nuwa exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness! That kid actually got a real dragon and is even riding on it! Is he a dragon knight? No wonder he likes NTR!"
Zhou Minhao thought to himself, "Why does Nuwa's rant sound the same as someone else's?"
He took a deep breath: "Lord Nuwa, I request to use the Dragon-Slaying Platform. Perhaps that way I can hold out until you arrive..."
"You can't do it. The price you pay for activating the Dragon-Slaying Platform is sacrificing yourself," Nuwa said calmly.
“To see what is right and not do it is not courage!” Zhou Minhao said. “I also value my life… but they are all my friends!”
"I know you're righteous, but it's not your place to play the hero yet," Nuwa shouted from the other side of the screen. "Where's Gu Ran? Didn't that kid come to Kunshan? He can even face the White King, what's there to be afraid of in a second-generation species!"
“Gu Ran? The Supreme Elder of the Zhang Family? Is he here?” Zhou Minhao was stunned. He knew Gu Ran. Although he had never met him, he knew that Gu Ran had killed a second-generation species in his first battle.
Bai Shanglu had been keeping a close eye on Zhou Minhao, because he was his lifeline. When he heard about the 'Supreme Elder', he couldn't help but complain, "Is the Supreme Elder some kind of old man from a cultivation sect?"
"Hey, are you looking for me?" Gu Ran then brought her face close to the camera and tore off the human skin mask from her head.
His once ordinary face had become handsome and refined. He looked at everyone and then playfully winked at Jiang Wanzhi.
"That's my wife!" Bai Shanglu felt a sense of crisis when he saw Gu Ran's handsome face and stood in front of Jiang Wanzhi.
"I just thought Sister Jiang was interesting, so I was just teasing her." Gu Ran took Zhou Minhao's phone.
Nuwa looked at him calmly and said, "You'd better hurry up and deal with that dragon for me. You've eaten so many meals at my house for free, it's time for you to do your part!"
"I know, I know," Gu Ran asked with a smile, "Have you prepared for the follow-up?"
"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen." Nuwa's eyes were no longer on the phone camera, but on her computer screen, and she continued playing the game.
So Gu Ran hung up the phone and tossed it to Zhou Minhao.
Zhou Minhao listened to their conversation and seemed to be plotting something.
Perhaps this scene was anticipated by Nuwa and Gu Ran?
"I never expected you to be Gu Ran." Zhou Minhao clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute to Gu Ran. "It's an honor to meet you."
"Brother Zhou, let's talk about it later."
Gu Ran stepped to the front and took out the half-decayed World Tree badge of the Secret Party from his pocket: "Zhao Xuzhen, you have broken through the critical blood limit, joined forces with dragons, betrayed humanity, and just now issued a declaration to carry out a terrorist attack that would cause mass casualties. The evidence is conclusive. Now, on behalf of the Secret Party, I will arrest you and bring you to justice."
"You only have one choice now: surrender obediently. Otherwise, the Secret Party will hunt you down to the ends of the earth," Gu Ran said with a smile. "You know what the consequences are of offending the Secret Party."
Zhao Xuzhen stood proudly atop the dragon's head: "Gu Ran... I have no grudge against you, what are you doing here?"
"Ah, right, right, right! We have no grudges against each other. I just saw a dragon appear in the world and came to slay it." Gu Ran smiled and glanced at Susanna kneeling to the side.
Susanna was stunned; she hadn't expected Gu Ran to be there.
She and Zhao Xuzhen received the news early in the morning, knowing that Gu Ran was not dead, but they did not expect that Gu Ran would actually come to cause trouble for Zhao Xuzhen.
"Gu Ran, can we put aside our personal grudges for now?"
Zhao Xuzhen realized that Gu Ran was no ordinary person after he was able to escape unscathed from the plane explosion, so he had been on guard against Gu Ran's revenge.
But he didn't expect Gu Ran to appear at this time; he still thought his identity hadn't been exposed.
"What personal grudge do we have? This is our first meeting today!" Gu Ran sneered. He naturally couldn't admit that he came for personal reasons.
"you……"
Zhao Xuzhen was speechless; he couldn't admit in public that he had once bombed Gu Ran's plane.
"Enough with the nonsense, Zhao Xuzhen. Since you have sided with the dragons and are beginning to transform into one, you have clearly fallen. From today onwards, you and the Solomon Temple will be relentlessly hunted down by the Secret Party. The war between humans and dragons will only end when both sides are completely wiped out!"
Chapter 599 Dragon Slayer Warrior
After saying this, Gu Ran drew the long sword Ichimonji Norimune that he always carried and pointed it at the sky.
Isabel, who had already set up her gun at an upward angle, immediately pulled the trigger and began firing continuously at the wing of the second-generation dragon.
The mercury-core blunt metal armor-piercing bullet, specially developed by Kassel College to target dragons, is a deadly weapon capable of killing dragons of the third generation and below. It can penetrate dragon scales and splits along a cross pattern upon impact with the dragon's bones; the liquid mercury inside is highly toxic to dragons.
Even the next generation can be injured, and mercury can also harm the next generation.
Zhao Xuzhen immediately took control of the giant dragon beneath him, making it flee.
But at this moment, Gu Ran had already switched to the Rinnegan and hypnotized the dragon, fixing it in place.
And so the giant dragon remained suspended in the air, letting bullets pierce its wings.
Isabel was somewhat surprised after hitting the first shot. She was about a thousand meters away from the dragon in the sky, and she did not expect to hit it with the first shot.
She hit the left flank five times, then aimed at the right flank and fired five more shots, all ten blunt metal armor-piercing rounds in the magazine hitting their targets!
Moreover, she aimed precisely at the location of the dragon's wing bones. The armor-piercing bullet pierced directly through its wing bones, rendering it unable to use its wings to take off and causing it to fall into the lake.
The water level of Yangcheng Lake is not very deep, only about two or three meters. When the giant dragon crashed to the ground, it splashed up a huge spray of water.
At the same time, the illusion that had been troubling ordinary people was also dispelled. However, those ordinary people seemed to have overused their brains and had all fallen into a deep sleep. Only the mixed-race individuals with bloodlines remained conscious.
Gu Ran clasped his hands together and instantly entered Sage Mode: "Isabel, cover me. The rest of you stay here and protect the ordinary people."
After saying that, he forcefully lifted a huge plank, which then slid rapidly across the water like a surfer.
Gu Ran leaped onto the wooden plank, carrying him across the lake towards the spot where the giant dragon had fallen.
Zhao Xuzhen, who had just fallen into the lake, was shocked. He and the dragon were of one mind, and the dragon told him that it had been intimidated by the human standing at the front.
He had just stood up again on the dragon's head when Gu Ran, wielding a large sword, leaped in front of him and launched a high-flying slash!
