Chapter 993: Ling Ying's Contempt, You Think You Can Suppress Me?_1

Ling Ying thought of everything about Xiao Yan and detested him immensely.

He had wanted to get rid of Xiao Yan in the past, had it not been for Miss Xun Er's intervention, Xiao Yan would already be a dead man by now.

Miss Xun Er, such a kind person with a good temper, gentle and well-behaved, how could Xiao Yan bring himself to be fierce to her?

A girl like that, if acquired by someone else, would only be treated as a precious treasure.

"Xiao Yan, that piece of trash, has never been worthy. Once Miss and Xiao Yan have completely severed ties, I will also make a move against Xiao Yan," Ling Ying said.

"How good would it be if you had this realization earlier?"

Xu Ran's voice fell, arriving by Ling Ying's side.

"Are you Xu Ran?"

Ling Ying looked at Xu Ran in panic, somewhat unsettled.

He had never expected Xu Ran to arrive at his side so silently, and he hadn't been aware at all. If Xu Ran hadn't spoken up, he might never have detected Xu Ran's presence.

This was truly terrifying.

It also meant that had Xu Ran struck at him, he would have become a dead person just now.

He was a Douhuang, after all!

Had he not been responsible for protecting Miss Xun Er here, in reality, with his talent, he might already have become a Dou Zong Expert by this time.

Yet, even so...

Wasn't Xu Ran a Seventh Rank Alchemist? An Alchemist of great strength, and Xu Ran was at least at the "Cultivation Level" of a Douhuang. But even so, he shouldn't have been able to approach him so silently.

Although he was still a Douhuang, the Dou Techniques he practiced were from the Gu Clan, incomparable to those of an ordinary Douhuang outside.

What exactly was Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level"?

Why did he always feel Xu Ran was much more powerful than him?

He had encountered many powerhouses in the Gu Clan, even those above Dou Zun, but Xu Ran's presence now didn't seem inferior to those super-experts of Dou Zun.

Could it be that Xu Ran was a Dou Zun Expert?

But...

He felt a surge of panic; how could Xu Ran be such a high-level expert? Xu Ran looked clearly so young.

A Dou Zun Expert of such youth? Even within the Gu Clan, there wouldn't be many who could achieve that.

Ling Ying watched Xu Ran, extending his Dou Qi towards him, trying to probe and understand everything about Xu Ran.

However, Xu Ran seemed enshrouded in a mist, making it impossible for him to perceive anything about him. This sensation shocked him even more. He didn't understand why Xu Ran was so mysterious.

Moreover, Xu Ran's temperament didn't seem like that of a person from the Jia Ma Empire.

That mysterious aura, as if above all others, wasn't something people from these minor places could possess.

"Who are you really? What is your purpose in Wu Tan City?"

Ling Ying took a deep breath, certainly not believing Xu Ran had come to Wu Tan City just for fun.

"What do you think?"

"Do I need to tell you all this? Aren't you, a Douhuang, also hiding here?"

Xu Ran looked teasingly at Ling Ying in front of him.

"You!"

"I don't care who you are, as long as you pose a threat to Miss, I will definitely kill you. Even if I can't kill you, the people behind Miss will!"

Ling Ying spoke seriously.

Although he was only at the "Cultivation Level" of a Douhuang, the Gu Clan even had Dou Saint Experts.

If Xu Ran truly harmed Miss, the people of the Gu Clan could crush Xu Ran effortlessly.

Such was the terrifying nature of a powerful family.

Thinking of the Gu Clan behind him, Ling Ying raised his head proudly.

Even if he is not up to par, the Gu Clan is definitely one of the most powerful families standing above this heaven and earth. If anyone could threaten the Gu Clan, it must be one of the other Ancient Families.

And what does Xu Ran count for?

With this thought, Ling Ying looked towards Xu Ran with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Even if Xu Ran's talent is quite remarkable, his background is still significantly inferior compared to the young lady.

"Is the Gu Clan very strong?"

Xu Ran said disdainfully.

"What did you say?" Ling Ying looked at Xu Ran in surprise.

He had only mentioned that the young lady had a powerful force behind her, but he hadn't said that they came from the Gu Clan, yet Xu Ran directly spoke of their origins!

There are actually people in the Jia Ma Empire who know about the Gu Clan?

Even in Zhongzhou, only the powerful knew about these Ancient Families.

Hiss!

Ling Ying drew a sharp breath.

"I said, in my eyes, the Gu Clan is nothing more than that," Xu Ran said indifferently, standing with his hands behind his back. With his "Cultivation Level", not to mention the Gu Clan, even if all the experts of the Fighting Spirit Continent joined forces against him, he would not have the slightest fear.

This is the terrifying aspect of a Dou Di.

A Dou Di bears the power to destroy heaven and earth!

Therefore, given his strength, these forces of the Fighting Spirit Continent really don't amount to much. The Fighting Spirit Continent indeed ranks several grades higher than the Soul Land, but he came to this world with the strength of the God of Domination from the Fighting Spirit Continent, so his strength is naturally not inferior.

"Since you know of the Gu Clan, it's impossible for you to be unaware of the Gu Clan's strength!"

"Dare you say such words?" Ling Ying sneered.

In his eyes, the Gu Clan was omnipotent.

Many people envy the Gu Clan and revere its experts.

The Douhuang of the Gu Clan even commanded more respect outside than an average Dou Zun. This is the prestige of a powerful family.

And now Xu Ran dares to say that the Gu Clan is not worth mentioning?

That seemed laughable to him.

At this moment, in his heart, Xu Ran had become a naive young man, spouting nonsense in front of him without much real experience!

Even among the same Ancient Families, there were few who could claim to be stronger than the Gu Clan. The strength of the Gu Clan was among the top in the Eight Ancient Clans, standing at the pinnacle of the Fighting Spirit Continent!

"Why can't I say it? In my eyes, the Gu Clan truly amounts to nothing. With a wave of my hand, I could suppress the entire Gu Clan!" Xu Ran said lightly.

"Pfft!"

"I'm afraid even suppressing me wouldn't be easy for you," Ling Ying said, sneering contemptuously.

He had never seen such an arrogant youth!

Did he think the Gu Clan was the same as forces like the Yunlan Sect?

The Gu Clan is omnipotent!

"Suppress you? A single finger is enough!"

"Then I would like to see how you'll use just one finger to suppress me!" Ling Ying was furious. As a Douhuang, he was definitely proud in the Jia Ma Empire. His strength was considered among the top in the Jia Ma Empire, and being from the Gu Clan, his status was noble.

Now Xu Ran was saying he could suppress him with just one finger—how could Ling Ying tolerate that?

Even if he felt that Xu Ran was very strong, perhaps not weaker than him, it still wouldn't be to the point where a single finger could suppress him!

A Douhuang of the Gu Clan, how could they be so easily defeated?

But the next moment, his face drastically changed, turning pale in an instant.

Because he realized he could no longer control his own body, the space around him had been completely sealed off!

Space power, only a Dou Zun Expert could wield space power to such a terrifying degree!
