This was the first time Zhang Zhenqi had witnessed Gu Ran's battle. Looking at his tall, standing figure, he had single-handedly defended the pass, preventing even a single weasel from escaping.
This ninjutsu puts a great strain on the user. Although Gu Ran did not enter Sage Mode, he was able to fully control this ninjutsu thanks to the enhancement of his body by Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
"Go!" Gu Ran didn't want to keep holding the spiral shuriken any longer, as it would hurt him, so he threw it away!
The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken flew out, cutting through the Kamaitachi along its path. When it finally hit the room, it scattered in an instant, the needle-like wind-style chakra splashing everywhere, hitting all the Kamaitachi in the room. The Kamaitachi that was only bone was immediately knocked down and rendered unable to move.
This wave of Kamaitachi was repelled.
No Kamaitachi has followed yet.
Gu Ran learned through the communication headset that Caesar and his men had set up a hunting trap at the entrance of the cave and carried out the first wave of casualties, allowing him to catch his breath for a while.
Gu Ran looked at the two of them. Zhang Wanjun was unharmed, and her aunt's strength was quite good. However, Zhang Zhenqi on the other side was weaker. Her arms and thighs were scratched by the Kamaitachi, and one of the wounds on her arm even exposed the bone.
Gu Ran took out Yunnan Baiyao and bandages that came with his combat uniform and used them to stop Zhang Zhenqi's bleeding.
"Bear with it." Gu Ran sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao on her wound.
"Ugh!" Zhang Zhenqi gritted her teeth and groaned, her other hand, which was not seriously injured, gripping Gu Ran's arm tightly, her nails digging into his flesh.
"Alright." Gu Ran bandaged her up steadily, not minding that she had just pinched herself with her nails.
"Why are there so many weasels in the kitchen?" Gu Ran asked, glancing at her aunt as she bandaged her wound.
Zhang Wanjun, standing to the side, killed a few sickle weasels that occasionally darted out, saying, "It's the public flue on the first floor, which is connected to the flue of this hotel, all the way to the roof. In order to prevent the sickle weasels from getting out from the top of the flue, I blew up the flue above and blocked the sickle weasels' passage to the top. But I didn't have time to block this floor, so the sickle weasels all came out from this kitchen."
After listening to the story, Gu Ran thought for a moment, then finished bandaging Zhang Zhenqi and returned to the kitchen, preparing to completely seal off the chimney.
"What are you planning to do?" Zhang Wanjun offered her help.
Gu Ran glanced around the kitchen and saw a lot of metal cookware, as well as cabinets and other metal items.
Chapter 298 The Battle of the Kamaitachi Ends
"I'll do it myself, you all step back."
Gu Ran politely declined her aunt's help.
He muttered incantations, and a simple yet majestic dragon script floated from his mouth, his voice seeming to come from ancient times.
The next second, the metal objects in the kitchen began to deform. Whether it was an iron pot, a kitchen knife, a stainless steel bowl, or a countertop, they all began to melt into molten iron, and according to Gu Ran's idea, they were disassembled and recast.
He wanted to turn the molten iron into steel plates to completely seal the flue.
"Is this the 'edict'?" Zhang Zhenqi was seeing the Zhang family's ancestral bloodline imprint for the first time, which allowed them to command the elements.
This is an ability that every member of the Zhang family desires, representing lineage and power.
Gu Ran used the Bronze and Fire King's ability to command metal; of course, this was another form of 'edict'.
He quickly sealed the flue completely with a 10-centimeter-thick steel plate.
At the same time, he explained the situation to Caesar through the communication microphone, expressing his concern that a weasel might be hiding in the smokestack.
"I told Tang Sen to seal off the chimney on the first floor." Caesar's voice was noisy, as if they were in the middle of a battle. He replied loudly, "Percy and I have temporarily suppressed these Kamaitachi with our Alchemy Domain, but we don't know how long we can hold out."
It turns out that when Caesar's Dictator and Percy's Augustus collide, they begin to resonate, creating a purple, grid-like alchemical field.
This alchemical domain can release incantations, directly covering the opening of the sinkhole, which is the main place where the Kamaitachi mainly emerges, temporarily suppressing most of the Kamaitachi.
"I understand. I'll come down and join everyone." Gu Ran replied to Caesar and the others. "But there should be other cave entrances, and weasels are still emerging. I'll go and check them out. If they are small entrances, I'll seal them off."
“Alright, it’s up to you,” Caesar said.
After ending the call, Gu Ran looked at Zhang Wanjun and Zhang Zhenqi: "You two go to the first floor and meet up with my classmates. I'll go to the basement to see if there are any other cave entrances."
“I… I can fight alongside you.” Zhang Zhenqi stood up, intending to help Gu Ran.
"Don't cause trouble, come with my aunt." Gu Ran pinched her cheek. Her face was dirty, but it felt smooth and tender to the touch.
Zhang Zhenqi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Gu Ran. There was no manly intent in his eyes; it was as if he were petting a kitten.
After teasing Zhang Zhenqi for a while, Gu Ran suddenly looked around and became alert.
Even without the Kamaitachi, he could already hear the dense calls of the Kamaitachi.
"I'll lure away most of the Kamaitachi. You guys leave quickly and go downstairs to rejoin the main force."
Zhang Zhenqi also heard these sounds, which sent chills down her spine, but she saw that Gu Ran didn't seem scared at all; instead, he was calmly observing.
This man, who is younger than her, is really handsome!
"Nephew, be careful," Zhang Wanjun said, watching Gu Ran's retreating figure.
Gu Ran waved his hand, then activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and sped away at an extremely fast speed, instantly disappearing from their sight.
Soon, Gu Ran returned to the lobby on the first floor. The North American mixed-race people there had finished their work and sealed off the main entrance and other entrances on the first floor.
At this point, their pressure had eased considerably. Although there were still weasels flying around, they were no longer as densely packed as they had been at the beginning.
Nono held a military knife in her right hand, leaned against the wall, and held a cell phone in her left. She attacked the flying weasel while calling Lu Mingfei.
"You're still sleeping? The sky's falling and you're still sleeping? Planning to sleep until you die, huh... Alright, alright, go back to sleep. I didn't mean to blame you, but there's been a huge mess at the wedding venue. Don't come. You can't handle it, you know? Forget about school assignments. Get out of Beijing, the farther the better!"
After saying that, Nuonuo hung up the phone, not giving Lu Mingfei a chance to speak.
Another wave of Kamaitachi emerged from underground, and the group began a new round of fighting.
The Kamaitachi seemed to know that the largest intersection was blocked by Caesar and Percy, so it found another fissure in the ground and began to surge forward from there.
They continued to flee, and the first thing they did upon reaching the ground was to be attracted by the Philosopher's Stone on Gu Ran's body, quickly chasing after him.
This is a good thing, because they will only follow Gu Ran and will not leave the building, so the secret of the dragon clan will not be leaked.
Looking at the dense swarms of weasels flying towards him, Gu Ran was already quite familiar with the situation.
He resorted to his old tricks, first attracting enough katana to be found in an open area, then taking them to a hotel where no one could see them, and wiping them out in a corridor.
He couldn't use Fire Release anymore, and he was afraid that if he set the hotel on fire, it would attract firefighters and draw even more attention.
Therefore, he used Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, a ninjutsu with a large area and wide range of damage. When he strengthened his body with Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he could also throw it out.
This time, also in the hotel corridor, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, like a spinning vortex, swept through the corridor like a whirlwind, shattering the bones of all the rushing Kamaitachi.
This attack brought down more than three thousand Kamaitachi!
He also knows many other area-of-effect techniques, such as Eight Trigrams Mountain-Breaking Strike, which uses the pressure points on his hands to control the chakra to surge out and attack the front with a palm strike in the void. The burst of chakra shatters all the Kamaitachi in front of him.
After he eliminated three waves of the Kamaitachi that had followed him, no large groups of Kamaitachi appeared to follow him; only a few Kamaitachi continued to attack him.
"Is Lu Mingfei done?" Gu Ran wondered.
Caesar relayed a message: "The weasels have suddenly stopped appearing in the sinkhole. I can no longer hear the sounds of the ghost birds from below the sinkhole in my Word of Power domain. It seems like it's coming to an end."
“Received.” Gu Ran knew that this was because Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze had interrupted Fenrir’s World-Destroying Word of Power, Shiva’s Dance of Karma, after they merged.
Now, the Seven Deadly Sins should be pulled out by Lu Mingfei and nailed to Fenrir.
After a while, Gu Ran saw that the Kamaitachi in front of him, like a drone that had lost its battery, suddenly stopped moving, and then its huge bone-winged body turned into powder and dissipated into the air.
This must be because Fenrir was killed by Lu Mingfei, and these ghost birds, without their master, automatically disappeared.
ended.
Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. This way, there was no need to clean up the battlefield, saving a lot of trouble.
If a weasel is hiding in a ventilation shaft or similar place, and suddenly comes out later, that would be a big problem.
I went down to the first floor and checked on the people around me.
Tang Sen leaned wearily against a pile of ruins. Around him were several other North American mixed-race people, who were also exhausted and slumped on the ground, not wanting to move at all.
The dragon robes worn by these people were tattered, and their bodies were covered in dust and sweat, which mixed together and gave off a stench.
The mixed-race members of the Huaxia aristocratic families were exhausted from protecting those who were blocking the entrances and exits. However, when they saw Gu Ran coming down the stairs, they managed to stand up and spontaneously walked to him as if they were gathering together.
This is a sign of respect for the strong; they all witnessed Gu Ran's overwhelming power.
He wasn't afraid at all when hordes of weasels chased after him, and he even took care of quite a few of them.
"Everyone, please sit down." Gu Ran told them to make themselves at home, and the mixed-race people from these aristocratic families slowly sat down on the spot.
Zhang Wanjun was panting and slowly catching her breath. Her black gothic dress was tattered, revealing her straight calves, but she still stood ramrod straight.
She was making a quiet phone call, issuing instructions in an authoritative tone, seemingly notifying people to come and clean up the mess.
Zhang Zhenqi's hand injury was quite serious. Gu Ran had only given her simple treatment to stop the bleeding, but the recent battle seemed to have aggravated the wound, and the blood seeped through the bandage again.
Exhausted, she sat down on one of the steps, right below Gu Ran, leaning against a wall.
On the academy side, Susie also seemed exhausted. She had overused her Word of Power today and was too tired to carry. She was weakly carried by Zero. Zero's petite figure carrying the raging Susie looked like a kitten carrying a big dog.
Nono jumped down from the second-floor railing and landed on the ground. Feeling a little sorry for Susie, she went over and pinched her cheek.
Susie opened her eyes slightly, not wanting to speak, but gave Nuonuo a slight smile.
Zero carried Susie to an open space and sat her down. The blonde little girl, the Vacuum Queen, had short hair that was also covered in tears, and her little face was dirty, but she was still exquisite and cute.
"Have any of our people died?" Gu Ran asked, looking at the mixed-race Chinese person sitting on the ground.
"Thankfully, they're all still alive."
Zhang Wanjun and Lü Xueer looked around. There were enough heads. Although many people were injured, no one had died.
The same goes for Caesar's side; everyone at the school is fine, just a little exhausted.
In addition, Percy was in the best condition. He used the Word of Power: Dustless Land twice, clearing out a lot of Kamaitachi.
He looked at the devastated wedding building; this huge loss could only be borne by the family.
Even if Gattuso is not short of money, several hundred million dollars is still a huge sum. If the cost of subsequent repairs and compensation is given to Greece, it could alleviate the country's economic crisis.
The mixed-race people from North America did not die, but were injured to varying degrees. The most serious injury was that three ribs were broken in the chest, leaving a noticeable wound.
Fortunately, the bleeding stopped after bandaging, and he won't die. Zhang Wanjun contacted medical assistance, and he will be taken to the hospital for treatment in a little while.
Gu Ran looked around and found a convenience store in the mall. He, Caesar, and the others who were still able to move took drinks and food from there and shared them with everyone.
"We've won this battle!" Caesar shouted, raising his Coke. "Come on, let's raise our drinks and have a drink!"
Chapter 299 Entering the Nibelung Metro
As the student council president, Caesar is adept at creating a conducive atmosphere and showcasing the leadership qualities he has cultivated since childhood.
