Guo Ran stepped forward, startling everyone. They knew that Guo Ran was the commander-in-chief of the Dragonblood Legion.
Back then, he had gathered all the powers of the Dragonblood Warriors to defeat the Nether Emperor. In everyone's eyes, Guo Ran's strength could rival Yue Zifeng's.
Now that Guo Ran was making a high-profile appearance in battle, he immediately drew everyone's attention. He strode proudly and confidently to a barrier, dripping a drop of dragon blood onto it.
However, an awkward scene unfolded: the barrier remained completely still, and Guo Ran's face instantly turned green.
"Buddy, don't joke around! I've bragged all the time—give me some face!" Guo Ran hadn't expected that at this critical moment, the dragon soul within him would refuse to fight.
At this moment, everyone stared at Guo Ran in shock, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Hey, hey, hey, wake up! Everyone else has already challenged us. If we don't step in, won't people laugh us to death?" Do you want to stay in this industry anymore? How will people see us in the future?" Guo Ran was completely anxious.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Guo Ran's palm felt warm, dragon patterns appeared, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his armor was powerful, without the support of the Hidden Dragon, he could only exert at most one-tenth of its power.
This tenth of his power was enough to deal with an average powerhouse, but now he was facing a peerless expert, which required Qianlong's cooperation.
Seeing that Qianlong finally showed respect, Guo Ran was instantly filled with confidence and dropped another drop of dragon blood. This drop, empowered by the dragon soul, finally appeared as a rune on the barrier.
"Smack!"
Guo Ran slammed his palm against the barrier, causing it to tremble, and Guo Ran appeared on the arena.
"Buzz!"
On the
arena, a middle-aged man with a tower-like build appeared. Guo Ran dared not be careless and immediately summoned his battle armor, unleashing the power of dragon blood.
On the armor, endless runes lit up, twin blades trembled, and divine radiance illuminated the entire arena. The dazzling divine radiance was unstoppable even by the Connection Realm, instantly illuminating the main hall of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
Seeing this, Long Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Guo Ran used to always show off, but now, he no longer needed to do it.
The reason Guo Ran didn't seem strong enough before was because he hadn't found good materials and couldn't forge powerful armor.
Now that he had a powerful armor and a dragon soul that matched his personality, he was like a tiger with wings, his combat power astonishing. He was absolutely worthy of the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Dragonblood Legion.
"Buzz!"
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the dazzling armor, the Dragon Emperor on the arena had already launched an attack on Guo Ran.
The Dragon Emperor's weapon was actually a pitch-black war blade. With one strike, the entire arena trembled, and the terrifying power made one's heart race.
Facing the Dragon Emperor's domineering strike, Guo Ran also swung his blade.
"Boom!"
The
two battle blades clashed, and the entire arena trembled violently. Even the terrifying power spread beyond the barrier, making everyone's hearts tighten as if struck by a sledgehammer.
Even outside the barrier, something unusual could be sensed, showing just how fierce the Dragon Emperor's strike was.
Yet Guo Ran withstood this terrifying blow.
"Buzz!"
Guo Ran's right long blade blocked the Dragon Emperor's strike, while his left saber slashed horizontally, aiming straight for the Dragon Emperor's waist.
"Clang!"
The Dragon Emperor stepped back, swung his blade to block, but with a loud explosion, sparks flew. The Dragon Emperor was actually struck by Guo Ran, staggering and retreating three steps.
A single strike forced back the Dragon Emperor's powerhouse. This was the first time in so many challenges that the crowd erupted, cheering like thunder. The Dragon Blood warriors shouted wildly, cheering for Guo Ran.
"Whirlwind Slash!"
Guo Ran shouted angrily, suddenly spreading his golden wings on his back, and like a whirlwind, he charged toward the Dragon Emperor.
"Boom boom boom boom... The Dragon Emperor fiercely blocked but was still forced to retreat repeatedly.
Guo Ran's twin blades and wings spun like rapidly spinning four-bladed flying knives, forcing the Dragon Emperor to retreat repeatedly, leaving him unable to fight back for a moment.
Seeing Guo Ran take the stage and overwhelmingly suppress the Dragon Emperor's powerhouse, the crowd cheered like thunder, some so excited their voices were hoarse.
Everyone knew that once the gatekeeper was defeated, a large gate could be opened, allowing one to obtain the treasures inside. Obtaining the treasures would strengthen the dragon clan, and strengthening the dragon clan would give them a chance to defeat more gatekeepers.
So many people had failed, and everyone's confidence was shaken. If Guo Ran could defeat the gatekeeper, it would be like opening the door to a new world and greatly boosting morale.
"Boom boom boom...
Guo Ran's relentless attacks were like a raging storm, leaving the Dragon Emperor powerless to fight back.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, with a loud explosion, the Dragon Emperor abandoned his defense, letting Guo Ran's blade strike his shoulder. With a loud explosion, Guo Ran's wrist trembled violently, and the golden battle blade in his hand flew out.
Everyone gasped in surprise. Everything happened so suddenly. They saw that a golden dragon scale had appeared on the Dragon Emperor's shoulder, like a shoulder guard, blocking Guo Ran's strike.
However, after that strike, the scales instantly shattered and fell off his shoulder.
"Buzz!"
The Dragon Emperor opened his large hand, countless dragon talismans appearing, gathering in his palm as he struck down on Guo Ran.
Even wearing armor, Guo Ran still felt his soul tremble. Instinctively, he held another battle blade horizontally in front of him, while the golden wings on his back trembled, slowly dissolving into countless feathers.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, Guo Ran was struck by a palm, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and flying backward. The disintegrating billions of golden wings behind him shot out like sharp swords, piercing through the void.
"What a terrifying strike!"
Guo Ran was shocked. The wings behind him bore force-relief runes. When the opponent's power entered his armor, the wings would be knocked away.
At most, it can dissipate about seventy percent of the opponent's power, and all of this energy is spread by these wings.
If this were on the battlefield, especially when surrounded by enemies, this move would cause the enemies behind Guo Ran to fall en masse.
Yet even with the golden wings to dispel the force, Guo Ran was still shaken so hard he coughed up blood. Fortunately, he had a mask, so outsiders couldn't see him as a wolflooking embarrassed.
"Buzz"
—the wings that
had been sent flying backward flew back again.
"Crack, crack, crack...
The golden wings were pieced together behind him, instantly restoring the golden wings to their original form. The golden battle blade that had been knocked away returned to Guo Ran's hand.
"Boom!"
Guo Ran stepped onto the ground, his figure like a golden lightning bolt, once again charging at the Dragon Emperor expert. His fierce demeanor caused the Dragon Domain's experts to erupt in thunderous cheers once more.
"Boom boom boom...
Guo
Ran gritted his teeth. All the runes on the golden armor were activated. At this moment, he began to fight desperately, and the hidden dragon soul within him seemed to understand the importance of this battle, empowering him with full dragon blood power.
"I'll fight you to the death—Dragon Blood Cross Slash!"
Guo Ran roared angrily. The opponent was too strong. He had tried countless methods but could not defeat him. In the end, he unleashed his strongest ultimate move.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the Dragon Emperor was blasted away by Guo Ran's strike, crashing hard into the stone pillar of the arena.
"Step step step...
However, the Dragon Emperor expert seemed unharmed, walking step by step toward Guo Ran.
"It's over, it's about to slap me in the face." Guo Ran was overcome with despair; the gatekeeper was simply unable to defeat him.
However, the Dragon Emperor took a few steps and stopped at his original spot. Suddenly, his body trembled, a vortex appeared, and his body vanished in an instant.
Disappearing with him was the barrier. Guo Ran was both shocked and delighted, and at the same time, all the Dragon Domain experts erupted in thunderous cheers:
"We did it!"
