Chapter 56 Meng Ran’s plan
w Meng Ran deliberately taunted Shen Lang and said in a weird voice: "Shen Lang, don't think that I really want to be on your team. I just want to see you make a fool of yourself in the test. Don't hold us back then! "
Shen Lang glanced at him coldly and replied: "Huh, it's not certain who is holding back whom. Don't be too self-righteous."
The followers also started cheering: "That's right, our boss is kind enough to join your team, but you still don't appreciate it. Just wait and see."
Shen Lang showed no fear on his face and said coldly: "Good intentions? I think you have ulterior motives. However, how can I, Shen Lang, be afraid of you?"
Meng Ran crossed his arms and said arrogantly: "Huh, there are times when you can be tough. You should think carefully about how to pass the test in the past three days. Don't cry and beg for mercy."
A trace of determination flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, and he retorted: "Meng Ran, don't get too proud, we don't know who will win yet."
Meng Ran sneered: "It's just you? How dare you speak so brazenly. Just wait until you are embarrassed in the test."
After saying that, he swaggered away with his followers.
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye it was the night before the test.
As night falls, the moonlight shines like water in the courtyard.
In Meng Ran's room, candlelight flickered.
Meng Ran sat at the table with a gloomy expression, while his follower stood aside with a flattering expression.
Meng Ran lowered his voice and said: "Before the test starts tomorrow, we must stop Shen Lang and injure him so that he cannot participate in the test normally."
The follower nodded quickly and responded: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely give you a helping hand, and I will make sure that he can't eat and walk around."
Meng Ran gritted his teeth, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "Huh, I must let him know the consequences of going against me this time."
The follower came forward and whispered: "Boss, we have to plan carefully and find a remote place to do it so that no one can find it."
Meng Ran frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Just choose the alley leading to the place of trial. No one usually passes by there."
The follower chuckled: "Okay, boss, I promise to complete the task."
Meng Ran clenched his hands into fists and said fiercely: "Shen Lang, let's see how proud you are this time."
The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and everyone went to the place of testing.
Meng Ran suddenly flashed and blocked Shen Lang's path arrogantly, with a provocative look on his face and said in a sinister manner: "Shen Lang, don't leave in a hurry, let me test your skills first. Let’s see if you are qualified to join my team.”
Shen Lang frowned, Ru Mo's eyebrows knitted together tightly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Meng Ran, don't make unreasonable troubles here, the test is about to begin."
Meng Ran, however, refused to give up. He clasped his hands on his chest, tilted his head and said contemptuously: "What? You don't dare? Or are you afraid of revealing your secret? I think you are as timid as a mouse."
He could see through this guy's wishful thinking at a glance.
It's really a tiger that doesn't show off its power, and thinks he is a sick cat!
Shen Lang was completely irritated, gritted his teeth, and shouted angrily: "Okay, then I'll let you see it!"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Lang's figure was like lightning, and the wind of his fist roared out, approaching Meng Ran's face.
Meng Ran was startled and hurriedly ducked sideways, screaming in his heart. He didn't expect Shen Lang to attack so quickly.
At this moment, one of Meng Ran's followers shouted: "Boss, let me help you!"
After saying that, he rushed towards Shen Lang, trying to make a sneak attack.
Shen Lang reacted very quickly, dodged sideways, and kicked the follower in the chest. The follower let out a groan and flew back.
Meng Ran took this opportunity, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, he shouted loudly, his internal energy flowed into his palms, and he slapped Shen Lang hard.
Shen Lang didn't dodge or dodge, and took the palm forcefully. Where the two people's arms met, there was a faint air wave.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and Shen Lang and Meng Ran each took a few steps back.
Shen Lang's face was slightly red, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was even stronger.
Meng Ran's face was pale and his arms were shaking slightly. It was obvious that he had suffered a loss in the fight just now.
Seeing this, another follower joined the fight and attacked Shen Lang from behind.
Shen Lang was keenly aware of the danger, turned around, and hit the follower's abdomen hard with his elbow, causing the follower to bend down in pain.
"Good boy, you have a chance!"
His face was livid, he was panting and staring at Shen Lang, obviously unconvinced.
"Shen Lang, don't be complacent! You are lucky this time." Meng Ran said through gritted teeth.
Shen Lang looked at him coldly and said, "If you are not as good as others, don't make excuses."
Meng Ran snorted coldly and said, "I am the ninth disciple of the head of the Blood Sword Sect. How dare you disrespect me like this?"
Shen Lang was unmoved and responded: "What about the direct disciples? If you lose, you lose."
Shen Lang snorted coldly: "It's useless to bully the few with more!"
Just when the two were about to take action again, Xue Linglong appeared.
She was dressed in red, like a burning flame, and her eyes swept over everyone.
"Stop it!" Xue Linglong shouted angrily, her voice containing powerful internal force, which made everyone present's ears buzz.
Shen Lang and Meng Ran were both shocked and stopped what they were doing.
Xue Linglong stepped forward, her eyes as bright as a torch, and said: "How unbecoming is it to be such a fool in this testing place!"
Meng Ran hurriedly said: "Elder, it was Shen Lang who stirred up the trouble first."
Shen Lang immediately retorted: "Elder Mingjian, Meng Ran deliberately provoked him first."
Xue Linglong frowned and said, "No matter who comes first or last, it is wrong to fight here. Let's remember what happened today. If there is any misconduct during the test, you will be severely punished!"
Meng Ran gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "Yes, Elder."
Shen Lang also bowed and said, "Disciple will follow the elder's teachings."
Xue Linglong snorted coldly and said, "Get ready to participate in the test, don't cause me any more trouble!"
After that, she turned and left, leaving Shen Lang, Meng Ran and others looking at each other.
After gathering at the test site, everyone waited for the test to begin with tension and anticipation.
Xue Linglong walked straight towards Shen Lang and said, "Shen Lang, I want to test you alone."
Shen Lang was slightly stunned, but soon calmed down and clasped his fists and said, "Please give me instructions, elder."
Xue Linglong looked deep and said slowly, "There is a five-star mission that requires you to go down the mountain with me to complete. This is a test for you."
Shen Lang's heart trembled. Five-star missions are usually extremely difficult, but he responded without hesitation, "Disciple is willing to go with the elder."
So, Xue Linglong and Shen Lang left the sight of everyone and walked down the mountain.
Along the way, Shen Lang followed Xue Linglong closely, secretly speculating on the details of this mission.
Xue Linglong seemed to see his thoughts and said, "You will know when you get there."
