Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

Gu Longzhang stood with a gun in his hand. The tip of the nearly two-meter-long gun was pointed at the ground, emitting a fierce cold light.

When he looked closely at the hand holding the gun, he could see that it was shaking slightly.

Along with the wandering red aura on the spear, there was also a sense of stagnation.

The surprise in Gu Longzhang's eyes was still uncertain, and his mind, which had been trained for ninety-six years, was still unable to suppress his curiosity at this moment.

"That trace of energy just now..."

"What kind of inner secret technique did you practice? What kind of inner strength did you condense? Why is my Kongming Qi naturally restrained by it?"

Gu Longzhang didn't believe at all that the energy that was fed back into his body from Jiang Ran's crown was stronger than the internal energy of a grandmaster.

He could only find an excuse to comfort himself. It was obvious that the opponent's internal strength was naturally able to restrain the Kongming strength, which was why it had such power.

Jiang Ran actually didn't feel well either.

The remaining Nine Tribulations Energy in his body was almost exhausted, and he barely managed to hold on through a powerful shot from Gu Longzhang.

Although he has entered the Qinggang body, the difference between him and the body-refining cultivators is that he has not experienced thousands of blows, nor has he melted indestructible spiritual materials into his flesh.

Therefore, the degree of Qi condensation is already sufficient, but the strength of the physical body cannot keep up to a certain extent.

Only by relying on the circulation of the Nine Tribulations Qi to strengthen the body could he withstand the sharp edge of the Solitary Goose Sword, the bullet that flew out of the chamber, and even Gu Longzhang's previous powerful blow.

Although the quality of Nine Tribulations Qi is far superior to the so-called internal energy of warriors, its current capacity is still limited.

In other words, if Jiang Ran really wanted to stand there stupidly and let the combatants brought by Xiao Songping serve as targets, he could withstand ten or a hundred bullets, but not thousands or tens of thousands of bullets.

The wear and tear of the Nine Tribulations Qi is an inevitable problem.

Just like the shield in the game, even if it can withstand 100,000 points of damage, as long as it is not immune to damage,

You will be worn down by countless ant monsters, causing you harm bit by bit.

After using the Lone Goose Blade to kill Xiao Songping in one fell swoop, even if there was only a little bit of Nine Tribulations Qi left,

Jiang Ran could still guarantee that if he wanted to leave, no one present could stop him.

Just when Gu Yan's blade was about to kill Xiao Songping, a spear came from the distant sky.

It was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Jiang Ran originally thought that Gu Longzhang was here to rescue people, but his attitude and words clearly told him that he was not here for this purpose.

At least not entirely for this.

Jiang Ran endured the discomfort of his Nine Tribulations Qi being exhausted, and smiled at Gu Longzhang who was ready for battle.

"The fly shakes the tree."

He spoke each word carefully, in a calm voice without any sarcasm.

But there was no sarcasm in his tone, but to Gu Longzhang's ears, it sounded like the biggest mockery.

"Your internal energy is almost exhausted, your body is decayed, and all you have left is this ignorant mouth!"

Gu Longzhang exerted a little force with his right hand, holding the spear and swinging it upwards to form a semicircle, with the tip of the spear pointing directly at the crumbling Jiang Ran.

The anger on his face was not concealed at all, and the trace of vigilance in his heart was completely burned away by the anger.

Jiang Ran was in a state of exhaustion at the moment, with the Lone Goose Knife lying quietly on the ground with its spirituality temporarily lost.

There is no possibility of a comeback at all.

"What a mantis trying to shake a tree. I want to see who it is—"

“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!!”

Accompanied by a sudden increase in volume, a roar that seemed to be enough to make the brim of a person's hat jump,

Gu Longzhang loosened his right hand slightly, and as the gun barrel slid down, his left hand instantly climbed onto it.

A hint of red mist instantly rolled up from the cold and sharp spear tip, instantly covering the spear shaft with a thin layer of flame color.

The sound of the last word "force" from Gu Longzhang's mouth was still echoing, and his figure had instantly forced itself into the area in front of Jiang Ran.

To be precise, it was the spear tip with a blazing red flame. As he thrust forward with all his might, it was about to pierce Jiang Ran's chest with the force of thunder.

Where Jiang Ran's chest was about to be pierced by the gun, he felt a chill as if he was expecting an enemy attack.

He seemed unaware of this.

The moment the cold gun tip touched his body, Jiang Ran closed his eyes slightly.

With the help of the mighty power of the soul in the Tribulation Realm, he instantly replayed the scenes he was experiencing at the moment in his mind one by one. He calculated it countless times before he came up with the optimal solution.

So when the spear was about to hit his body, Jiang Ran just turned his body slightly as if he was strolling in the garden.

A funny and ridiculous scene immediately appeared.

Because Jiang Ran stepped aside, Gu Longzhang, who was holding the spear with both hands and thrusting forward with all his internal energy,

The spear was pressed against Jiang Ran's chest, and it was only a millimeter away from piercing his chest, which pushed him forward several steps.

If he had not controlled his pace at the last moment and not been carried past Jiang Ran by inertia, Gu Longzhang would have been ashamed to the extreme.

The shot he thrust with all his might was completely wasted as Jiang Ran did not dodge and just leaned sideways.

Gu Longzhang didn't know if anyone present was secretly laughing at him, but he had no way of finding out.

He could only suppress the growing anger in his heart and simply leaped lightly in the direction where the spear was piercing the air.

The whole person appeared behind Jiang Ran in an instant, raised his spear with great skill, and swept across the enemy from right to left.

Gu Longzhang admitted the situation just now. He couldn't be sure whether Jiang Ran's sidestep was an accidental coincidence or intentional.

But he was very clear about one thing, Jiang Ran's current condition was just as he had guessed before, he had reached the critical point where he was unable to fight back.

Gu Longzhang looked at the young man's pale profile, and the fear in his eyes did not diminish, but became even deeper.

He had no gentlemanly manners at all, and there was no way he would let go of this opportunity that cost nearly a hundred lives and barely made Jiang Ran lose his fighting ability.

"This move can sweep away thousands of enemies. I want to see how you can block it!"

Gu Longzhang swung the spear in his hand vigorously, causing dust to fly and ruining the view.

Just now Jiang Ran dodged sideways, avoiding a straight line of spear tips.

Gu Longzhang swung the spear in his hand and swung it at Jiang Ran's waist with all his strength.

It was difficult to describe the strength and ruthlessness of his attack. All that could be heard was the friction between the spear and the air as it swung.

The bright red aura emanated from the Yin-Yang Spear tip, and along the trajectory drawn by the gun body, an arc line was left in the air.

Jiang Ran felt the powerful force of the spear coming at him, and without even the slightest hesitation, he squeezed out a little more of the Nine Tribulations Qi in his body.

He didn't use it anywhere else. He just condensed a bit of energy into the tip of his index finger before the spear swept across his body.

The next second, he stretched out his right hand and used his fingers to quickly touch the tip of the spear and the shaft, starting slowly and then getting faster and faster.

It was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to see, and the entire spear was illuminated in an instant.

The quality of Jiang Ran's Nine Tribulations Qi is far higher than Gu Longzhang's internal energy.

The only problem was that after he had just withstood the bullet that had taken advantage of the momentum,

Even though he kept urging the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Art to operate, the recovery speed of the Nine Tribulations Qi was slow due to the influence of the meager spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It was still so slow that it was barely noticeable.

In addition to maintaining the Nine Tribulations Qi that supported his body, he squeezed out this little bit of Qi.

It was somewhat difficult to break through Gu Longzhang's external internal energy that was floating about three inches on the surface of his body.

It would probably not be enough to use this trace of Nine Tribulations Qi to resist Gu Longzhang's sweeping move with his gun.

The limited Nine Tribulations Energy will be consumed, but every bit of it is useful.

Jiang Ran made the most correct decision almost in an instant, it wasn't even an outburst.

In just a short moment, he tapped Gu Longzhang's spear more than ten times, forcing the spear's attack to stop.

Suddenly changed direction.

The spear that was originally aimed at Jiang Ran's waist was directly pointed upwards, and drew a semicircle towards the sky with great force.

As a result, Gu Longzhang was pushed back a few steps by the reaction force, his expression uncertain.

At the same time, Jiang Ran also took two steps forward and lightly kicked the short knife lying on the ground.

He lifted it into the air all of a sudden, and it just jumped to a height that he could reach.

Before Jiang Ran stretched out his hand, he heard a sound of breaking air.

The indifference in his eyes finally faded a little, and he simply stopped taking the Lone Goose Knife.

Instead, he cast a scrutinizing, sharp look at Gu Longzhang's face.

The other party actually got rid of his previous state of mind in an instant. When Jiang Ran tried to take back the Lone Goose Knife,

He turned around, picked up the spear, and in an instant he smashed the spear tip into the gray Lone Goose Knife.

Gu Longzhang's eyes were filled with concern, and he didn't even look at the Lone Goose Knife that fell to the ground after being poked by the gun.

He just looked at Jiang Ran with a cold look in his eyes, his tone was a bit like a smile.

"The outcome has not yet been determined. You cannot take this Lone Goose Blade with you."

"What is the purpose of Master Jiang's action?"

Jiang Ran didn't seem to hear the teasing in his tone. He raised his eyebrows and observed carefully for a moment.

Then he said calmly, "Let's not talk about winning or losing first. What do you want to say by saying this?"

As soon as he asked the question, he shook his head with a look of boredom that he could hardly hide.

"Forget it, it's not important."

"Tell me why you're here."

Gu Longzhang held his spear horizontally, and seeing Jiang Ran, who remained calm and neither humble nor arrogant,

After thinking about it, he felt that it would not take too long, so he spoke in a calm voice.

"Gu came here, first of all, to save the lives of Xiao Songping and Jiang Shoucheng."

"The second reason is for this Lone Goose Knife!"

At this point, Gu Longzhang's eyes flickered twice, guessing the deeper meaning of Jiang Ran's words just now.

If you really want to fight him to the death, you probably have no interest or reason to know what his intentions are.

Therefore, Gu Longzhang immediately realized that Jiang Ran might have decided not to resist any more.

The attitude when asking that question was obviously different from just now, as if he was waiting for a step to take.

It has to be said that imagination is a very powerful personal subjective behavior.

Jiang Ran was obviously impatient and didn't want to beat around the bush with Gu Longzhang. However, under his analysis,

It turned out that he had the intention to shake hands and make peace.

It was no wonder that Gu Longzhang had such an idea. Jiang Ran had dealt with the previous attacks.

There is a feeling of being surrounded by danger and having to resort to clever tricks to barely cope with it.

Considering the scars all over his body, it is easy to conclude that the best choice for ordinary people is to negotiate.

But Jiang Ran is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary warrior.

There might be someone who could make him choose peace talks, but it was definitely not Gu Longzhang, who was hiding his head and showing his tail and had low martial arts power.

If Gu Longzhang knew that Jiang Ran had such an evaluation of him in his heart, I wonder if he would still be able to laugh.

After he finished speaking, Gu Longzhang suddenly discovered that Jiang Ran's gaze was once again focused on him.

He did not sense any fierceness in the other party's eyes, so he slowly retracted his strength and let the tip of the spear fall diagonally.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Jiang Ran's clear yet deep, cold but not too aggressive eyes,

After staying on Gu Longzhang for a while, he shook his head.

"First, I have already decided Jiang Shoucheng's life. As for Xiao Songping, he brought a group of people with guns to threaten us. You tell me, should he be killed or not?!"

Jiang Ran's words seemed cynical, but they easily revealed his own thoughts.

Jiang Shoucheng, who heard the conversation between Jiang Ran and Gu Longzhang, was only physically injured and his mentality was still good.

He was still waiting for the two of them to break up and start fighting, and then the seriously injured Jiang Ran would be shot to death.

But as he listened, he felt something was wrong, purely because of Jiang Ran's inexplicable words.

"This guy said that he has already predetermined my fate. This sounds a bit weird." Jiang Shoucheng's eyes flickered and he pondered in his heart.

"If I remember correctly, he was the one who forced Chu Jichuan to leave...but apart from the rude words he said just now, I never targeted him from beginning to end."

"I don't know why he is so hostile to me."

"It felt like he wanted to kill me. I wonder if I accidentally dug up his ancestral grave."

Jiang Shoucheng couldn't help but roll his eyes and sneered in his heart when he thought about it. "You can't even protect yourself, but you still want to take my life. Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?"

No one else knew what he was thinking, except Zhu Yonghai, who was in the same camp with him and hoped Jiang Ran would die.

The vast majority of people do not have much hostility towards Jiang Ran.

Needless to say, Xia Wanwan and Bai Feifei, as well as Lin Huaizhang and Zhu Shao who had changed their minds, were actually listening carefully to Jiang Ran's words.

When he mentioned the point of predestining Jiang Shoucheng's life, everyone had a different look on their faces, but most of them glanced at Jiang Shoucheng vaguely.

It seemed as if he was thinking about the same thing: why Jiang Ran wanted to kill this guy.

The people present couldn't figure out the key point for a while. After all, Jiang Ran had good reasons to want to kill Xiao Songping.

There seems to be no sufficient reason to target Jiang Shoucheng.

Xie Heng was the only exception among the crowd.

Just now, Jiang Ran casually threw Nannan behind him, probably towards Xia Wanwan, Bai Feifei or Xie Tian and others.

However, while he was thinking, he saw something falling from the air and subconsciously reached out to catch it.

When he reacted, he realized that it was the girl that Jiang Ran had been holding in his arms for a while. He couldn't throw her away or hold her.

Naturally, the attention paid to Jiang Shoucheng decreased accordingly.

Otherwise, he could probably guess why Jiang Ran was so murderous.
