Chapter 314: Just a Bit More Dedicated to My Work
Seeing the mastermind finally lured out by her own doing, a successful smile finally appeared on Yun Ran's face.
Previously, she had Doctor Yu and his party withdraw and had the higher-ups from the Special Administration Bureau come over, making a big fuss to ensure everyone knew something had happened here.
Those within the protective enchantment had to use all their skills to suppress the Tomb Guardian Beast, but both sides were injured.
The person behind this had to jump out at this time.
Unfortunately, they jumped out too soon, as she had been waiting here all along.
Otherwise, how would she ever show her 'slacking and cunning' side in front of the Golden Master?
Those protecting Xie Xuzhi had heard of Yun Ran's powerful Magic Artifacts before, and the Little Paperman she crafted was touted as something extraordinary.
Now that they had witnessed it firsthand, apart from shock, all they felt was deep apprehension.
Fortunately, Yun Ran was on their side, or they would have had a big problem.
Seeing the Yin Sha Qi being easily dealt with by Yun Ran's Little Paperman, the Black Robed People knew the situation had turned against them.
By the time they wanted to flee, it was already too late. Mo Zhi directly cut off their escape.
The Ghost General's strength was not to be taken lightly. While she was no match for supernatural creatures like the Dragon Spirit, dealing with these Black Robed People was well within her capabilities.
Watching the Black Robed People all trapped within the Ghost Wall, Xie Xuzhi understood that this was all Yun Ran's stratagem.
"Those who are enemies with you are truly miserable."
Yun Ran immediately raised an innocent smile: "I'm just more dedicated to my job, not as brutal as you say."
After handling the Black Robed People, Yun Ran's gaze then turned towards the inside of the enchantment.
Now that only one of the Tomb Guardian Beasts had been flipped over, there were still others underneath. She couldn't let those Tomb Guardian Beasts continue their havoc.
A few more disturbances, and this Array would exhaust her to death.
"These Black Robed People, I'll leave to your people. I need to go and clean up the mess!"
Having said that, Yun Ran entered the enchantment.
Unlike the others who had to detour for several minutes to enter, Yun Ran walked in with ease, with the Array posing no hindrance to her.
Those who had been blown away earlier were now getting up, but each one was in a rather sorry state.
Elder Gong, seeing Yun Ran come in, no longer had his previous air of superiority.
Having clashed with the Tomb Guardian Beast, he realized how much the enchantment had done, and that Yun Ran was not just all talk.
Watching Yun Ran walk lightly towards the direction of the overturned Xuanwu.
Elder Gong quickly spoke out: "Be careful."
Yun Ran glanced sideways with a peripheral look at Elder Gong being supported by others and nodded gently.
Then she drew out her Peach Wood Sword, twirled a sword flower, and swung it towards the supine giant stone Xuanwu.
Maybe it was due to being inside the enchantment, but the Sword Qi solidified into a pale blue light.
'Boom'—a sound.
A cloud of dust suddenly rose inside the enchantment, choking those who were already injured into a bout of coughing.
After a short while, the soaring dust settled, and everyone could see clearly that the giant stone Xuanwu hit by the Sword Qi had one of its legs shorn off.
From close proximity, one could see that the seemingly unremarkable leg, once fallen to the ground, was much larger than a person.
'Roar~~~'
Xuanwu let out a pained noise, more piercing than the warning it gave to those Special Administration Bureau people earlier.
At that moment, Yun Ran also took out a whip made of some unknown material from her bag, flicked it in her hand, and then harshly lashed it toward the giant stone Xuanwu.
"Keep it down! Making such a noise in the middle of the night, don't you know you could scare someone to death?"
Whether the power of this whip was too fierce or the giant stone Xuanwu could really understand human emotions,
after a few lashes, it promptly behaved and stopped making noise.
[I was wrong, I won't make noise anymore, stop hitting me, it hurts~~~]
Was that just a few lashes, not even a warm-up, and it's already surrendering?
Yun Ran suddenly felt bored, but fortunately, there were a few beasts that hadn't come out yet. She could continue whipping them later!
No one saw that Ginsengfruit followed them in as well, holding a phone, having recorded the moments of Yun Ran wielding the sword and whipping.
"Master, I got it all on tape!"
All: ...
Good grief, how didn't they notice this little one just now?
And, Yun Ran actually recorded those scenes, what could she be planning to do with them!
That's just too sly, previously when they all used their ultimate moves, nobody took photos for them!
Yun Ran waved her hand, and Ginsengfruit immediately got the message to retreat, dashing out of the light shield. The Host was preparing to take care of the other Tomb Guardian Beasts.
Yun Ran moved forward and reached out to touch the giant stone Xuanwu. Having been beaten into confusion, it did not dare to misbehave anymore and let Yun Ran touch it obediently.
It was only upon getting closer that Yun Ran saw the ancient runes on the body of Xuanwu, which she could not understand.
But that didn't stop Yun Ran from knowing that these curses were key to giving these Tomb Guardian Beasts their spiritual wisdom.
"Behave yourself. As soon as I catch the other Tomb Guardian Beasts, I will properly educate all of you!"
The flattened hillside, which had a curve to it before, was supported by this giant stone Xuanwu. Now the hillside was leveled.
Aside from the giant stone Xuanwu, the rest of the mountain had turned into dust.
Yun Ran walked around the Xuanwu and only then saw that at the spot where it had been lying, there was a black hole about two meters in diameter that seemed to be the entrance.
Fortunately, the giant stone Xuanwu had been flipped over, otherwise, it would've been a hassle for her to move it, and it would have taken a lot of effort.
"I'll go down with you!"
Elder Gong patted off the dust that had covered him earlier; the tiny cuts from the stones that grazed him had already crusted over.
Others had also more or less sustained some internal injuries, but Elder Gong had only suffered some minor skin wounds.
A few people, who had lighter injuries, planned to follow Yun Ran down as well.
Seeing Yun Ran whipping the Tomb Guardian Beast, they felt an inexplicable sense of courage in their hearts.
This was a Tomb Guardian Beast; to not take a look would be a lifelong regret. Anyone who could still walk wanted to follow and see for themselves.
Before Yun Ran could speak, she saw Xie Xuzhi following Ginsengfruit in.
Ginsengfruit, noticing Yun Ran's somewhat unfriendly gaze, immediately sold Xie Xuzhi out.
"Master, it was Director Xie who insisted on coming in. He even said that if he wasn't brought along, the special funds he had given us before wouldn't count!!"
Yun Ran: ...
If it wasn't for the presence of so many Special Administration Bureau people here, especially when most of them were opposed to her, Yun Ran could not help but save some face for Xie Xuzhi.
Otherwise, she really wanted to ask, as a squishy figure, why bother hopping around aimlessly, as if eager to court death?
