55: Chapter 55: Ye Ran: I am the Drunken Sword Immortal, who can kill me?
Chapter 55: Ye Ran: I am the Wine Sword Immortal, who can kill me! Who dares to kill me!
Gu Shengge’s double pupils unleashed Divine Might, looking down upon the world, intimidating everyone present. Two scorching rays of light, like the sun in the sky, pierced through all things; no one dared to meet his gaze!
At this moment, everyone except the Dao Sect Disciples felt unprecedented pressure, their bodies and minds trembling, and many secretly considered retreating.
It was just a Trial; if they withdrew this time, they could always participate again later. They couldn't afford to lose their lives here.
Within the Lingxiao Sword Sect, Ye Ran looked at his trembling legs and subconsciously glanced at the people around him. Seeing that their attention was not on him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close, he almost lost Face.
He forcefully steadied his legs, and a sense of humiliation rose in his heart.
He was the Wine Sword Immortal, how could he be scared away by him? He absolutely could not retreat!
Immediately, Ye Ran looked up, attempting to meet Gu Shengge's gaze directly.
But those double pupils were too brilliant, like the ancient blazing sun, completely impossible to look at directly!
Ye Ran had no choice but to lower his head, but the humiliation in his heart grew even stronger.
Damn it! He was the protagonist with a System, how could a mere villainous native scare him!
Ye Ran desperately cheered himself on, telling himself that the protagonist was the favored son of heaven, invincible, and immortal!
After a period of self-hypnosis, it actually worked.
Ye Ran regained his confidence. He didn't believe that as the protagonist, he would die at the hands of Gu Shengge, this villainous native. When a crisis arose, there would definitely be an expert to save him.
Seeing that everyone had the intention to retreat, Ye Ran showed a hint of arrogance. Now was his time to appear.
As long as he stepped forward to resist the Qiankun Daozi, he would not only gain more admiration, but the Sibei Prince would also definitely look at him with new eyes. At that time, she would throw herself into his arms, and he would accept her, or accept her?
As he thought about it, Ye Ran even felt a little excited.
“Hmm?”
Gu Shengge saw that among the Sword Sect members, that Horse Piss Immortal's body began to tremble. Was he already scared? A hint of disdain flashed through his double pupils.
“If you all are unwilling to leave, then this Lord doesn't mind helping you all out.”
With that, silver lightning surged from within Gu Shengge’s body, cascading down like a celestial river waterfall. He rose into the air, and the Eye of Heaven on his brow slowly opened.
In an instant, the already dim sky was covered by countless dark clouds. Ten thousand miles around were enveloped beneath the tribulation clouds, and billions of lightning bolts rolled within the tribulation clouds, writhing like Dragons, exuding terrifying Divine Might!
“Heavenly… Heavenly Tribulation!!”
Sect Leader Yin looked at the tribulation clouds stretching for ten thousand miles in disbelief, her beautiful Face filled with astonishment, and she unconsciously cried out.
There was no mistake; having passed the Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, she understood the Heavenly Tribulation better than anyone present, and also knew how terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation was.
At the same time, Sect Leader Yin felt fortunate in her heart, fortunately, she was also a person of the Dao Sect.
The others, feeling the immense Divine Might emanating from the Heavenly Tribulation, became even more terrified in their already trembling hearts.
Especially the Yao Race of the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace, their Yao Race's fear of the Heavenly Tribulation was ingrained in their bones, originating from the depths of their Souls, almost causing them to revert to their original forms.
Seeing Gu Shengge force everyone to this point, Ye Ran knew it was time for him to step forward.
After all, protagonists always appear in times of crisis.
Immediately, Ye Ran stepped out from among the Sword Sect Disciples, looked up at Gu Shengge, his Face resolute, and declared loudly:
“Qiankun Daozi, aren't you too overbearing? This Dao Ancient Trial was jointly decided by the five families. If you want to monopolize it today, are you trying to violate our five families’ agreement? Are you not afraid that we will report back to our Sects and hold your Qiankun Taoist Sect accountable?!”
Ye Ran spoke with increasing fervor, but he didn't notice that the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation was condensing.
Gu Shengge looked down at Ye Ran, this clown. He had given Butian Divine Maiden Face before and let him off once, and he thought he was capable?
He had originally planned to deal with this guy after the Trial.
Since he came to offer himself up, then I won't be polite.
The Heavenly Demon Divine Palace, Sibei Prince, and others were both shocked and angered to see Ye Ran dare to jump out at this moment and speak such arrogant words to the Qiankun Daozi.
Damn it! If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!
Su Bei Huang gripped her Scarlet Phoenix Spear, a hint of anger appearing on her beautiful Face, and she cursed in a low voice: “This idiot, is his brain filled with pig dung?! Does he want to kill us?!”
The Sword Sect Elder also didn't expect his Sect's Sword Son to suddenly jump out. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to block in front of Ye Ran, cupping his hands and bowing to Gu Shengge, pleading urgently:
“Gu Daozi, please do not bother with my Sect’s Sword Son. He is young and impetuous and doesn't understand things. My Lingxiao Sword Sect is willing to withdraw from this Trial. Please forgive my Sword Son's offense, Gu Daozi.”
The Sword Sect Elder winked at the other Disciples, and two Disciples immediately stepped forward, pulling Ye Ran's arms, trying to lead him away.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ran shook off the Disciples’ hands, stepped past the Sword Sect Elder, and at the same time, a Peerless Grade spiritual sword appeared in his hand. With an arrogant expression, he pointed his sword at Gu Shengge amidst everyone's terrified gazes.
“Qiankun Daozi, even if you can instantly kill a Soul Transformation cultivator, so what? I am the Wine Sword Immortal, free and unfettered between heaven and earth. Who can kill me! Who dares to kill me!”
“Today, this Sword Immortal will open the Heavenly Gate with a single sword strike and break your Heavenly Tribulation!”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Ran erupted with a vast Sword Intent, as if it could cut down the heavens. Endless Sword Qi emanated from his body, and in an instant, a thousand-mile radius transformed into a Sword Domain, making everyone present feel a sharp edge upon them, their skin stinging.
The Sword Sect Disciples, feeling the powerful Sword Intent released by Ye Ran, their spiritual swords involuntarily unsheathed and flew before Ye Ran, offering themselves for his command.
Perhaps, the Sword Son really could win!
This thought popped into their minds.
The others were also somewhat surprised to see this scene. This Lingxiao Sword Son seemed to truly possess the strength to contend with the Qiankun Daozi.
Beneath the Heavenly Tribulation, Gu Shengge looked at Ye Ran, who had declared that no one could kill him, and couldn't help but sneer:
“A mere Nascent Soul True Lord waste who forcibly boosted his cultivation with a System dares to boast shamelessly here. What a laughingstock! Since you insist on seeking death, this Lord will let you know today what true ability is!”
What!!
Hearing Gu Shengge mention the System, Ye Ran's Face turned pale with shock, his eyes instantly widened, filled with disbelief.
How could this be? This villainous native actually knew about the System!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!!
At the same time, the System’s notification sound also rang in Ye Ran’s mind.
【Warning! Warning! Warning! System enemy has detected the existence of the Wine Sword Immortal System, emergency escape mechanism activated…】
As the villain System and inner voice System were suppressed and eliminated, all Systems, whether in the Azure Expanse or not, received an instruction.
As long as their existence was exposed, then regardless of whether the host was dead or alive, they were to immediately detach and flee without any hesitation.
Because once they hesitated, there was a possibility of being suppressed on the spot.
The next second, the surging Sword Intent and the endless Sword Qi released by Ye Ran vanished without a trace.
His cultivation, which he had gained by drinking, also plummeted in an instant. In a flash, he went from a Nascent Soul True Lord to a Mortal.
This sudden change stunned everyone. Gu Shengge’s expression subtly changed, and he immediately reached for Ye Ran!
