The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Although the knight appears to be a physical combat fighter, his actual ability is a superpower, and the light gun weapon is a manifestation of that superpower.

Although the white-robed man's abilities are strange and difficult to defend against, he is actually a martial arts master whose ability to conceal himself comes from his cultivation of martial arts techniques.

Although one of them is a superhuman and the other is a martial arts master, their physical strengths are exactly opposite.

The knight, being an esper, possesses physical strength comparable to that of a martial arts master due to the enhancement of his abilities. In contrast, the white-robed man, a martial arts master, focuses more on concealment and mystery in his cultivation techniques, resulting in a relatively weaker physical strength compared to the knight.

Therefore, Gu Ran chose to confront the knight head-on, while using a weapon formed from his telekinesis to deal with the white-robed man.

Soon, Gu Ran punched the knight's shield.

Gu Ran's fist seemed a hundred times harder than steel, and when it slammed into the shield, it produced a loud metallic clang.

The shield, which was incredibly sturdy and had always been trusted by the knight, suddenly developed a deep fist-shaped indentation.

The knight couldn't withstand the shockwave from the collision and was sent flying a short distance before crashing to the ground.

My arms ached so much that I could barely control them, and my fingers could no longer grip the shield; they were even trembling slightly.

Meanwhile, the white-robed knight was nearly driven mad by his concealment being exposed and his constant harassment by weapons and swords formed from his telekinesis.

This is outrageous! The white-robed knight was almost driven to the edge and wanted to curse.

But when he looked over at Gu Ran and saw the knight with his shield being sent flying by a single punch, he was deeply shocked.

"Is this even possible for a human to do?!"

The man in the white robe murmured to himself.

Having known the knight for many years, he deeply understood the knight's strength. He also knew that the shield was specially made by the knight at a great expense, and even the sharpest sword in New Testament City could only leave a shallow scratch on it.

This scratch was caused under the control of the most powerful martial arts master in New Testament City. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't even leave a white mark on it.

But now this specially made shield has been deformed by a single punch?!

The shock this caused to the man in the white robe was simply unparalleled.

Gu Ran's strength was so great that it had exceeded his expectations.

The white-robed man's thoughts immediately became the same as the lame man who had fled earlier; both of them instantly felt immense apprehension and fear towards Gu Ran.

Without ever facing this person from Canglong City, one would have no idea how powerful he truly is.

At that moment, a few questions arose in the white-robed man's mind.

Is this truly the level of power that humans can achieve?

It wasn't that the man in the white robe was ignorant; rather, it was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful opponent that he was almost powerless to resist.

"Not bad, I just used seventy percent of my strength."

Gu Ran shook his fist and said with some satisfaction, "It seems you should still be able to withstand my attacks."

The knight felt like he was going crazy.

He must be dreaming.

How could someone actually knock him away with a single punch while he was holding up a shield?

No strong person has ever been able to achieve this level.

He never imagined that he would one day fly in this way.

Gu Ran paid no attention to what the two people thought and walked forward step by step.

The knight was startled when he saw Gu Ran walking towards him. He didn't even bother to check his injuries and quickly stood up, ready to defend himself against Gu Ran's attack.

Gu Ran wasn't in a hurry; instead, she waited expectantly for the knight to finish his pose.

"Okay, let's continue."

Gu Ran said calmly, "Your body is quite sturdy, so you should be able to become a cannonball."

The knight became extremely wary.

"You are indeed the strongest person I have ever met, but I still cannot sense any spiritual energy fluctuations in your body. This is... very strange. Although I don't know why you can be so powerful just by relying on your body, there are many other strong people in this world, and there are many other strong people in New Testament City. Don't think you can be arrogant for long."

The knight's words were less of a threat and more of a show of bravado than genuine threat.

Suddenly, the man in the white robe blew a loud whistle.

As the whistle sounded, the tallest clock tower in New Testament City suddenly rang.

The knight's eyes widened suddenly: "This is the highest level of alert in New Testament City. This guy shouldn't be... No! This guy's strength has already reached this level."

The knight's gaze towards Gu Ran had completely changed.

If the initial gaze towards an enemy of equal standing was one of challenge, even a hint of eagerness, then...

So now Gu Ran is seen as a higher-level enemy, hated but also filled with awe.

clang clang clang......

The ringing of the tallest bell tower in New Testament City startled everyone in the city. The councilors who were holding a meeting in the council chamber stopped and walked out of the chamber in surprise and anger.

"What's going on? Why is the highest alert bell ringing? Could it be that Azure Dragon City has attacked?"

One of the councilors came out and said with dissatisfaction, his words carrying a hint of reproach for someone making a fuss over nothing.

No one believed that the person who triggered the highest-level alert in New Testament City was just one person.

As a major city with a history spanning millennia, New Testament City naturally implemented corresponding protective measures against powerful entities from other major cities.

For example, regarding the spatial ability experts in Vermilion Bird City, although Azure Dragon City doesn't directly sell them spatial interference devices, they obtained quite a few through the black market and installed them in several key locations within the city.

In addition, there are psychic users who frequently appear in Azure Dragon City. To prevent psychic users from discovering New Testament City's confidential information, New Testament City also has a special material embedded within it to prevent psychic penetration.

There are also various other protective measures. In short, the major conglomerates in New Covenant City take great care in maintaining their strongholds.

Although it came at a considerable cost, it was worth it as long as it worked.

Therefore, none of the Julyflower Hunters' Council members believed that anyone could force New Testament City to activate the highest level of alert.

Many people are worried that Canglong City will send an elite squad to launch a retaliatory operation of the same level against Xinyue City. After all, everyone knows the relationship between Canglong City and Zhuque City. On the surface, they seem to be locked in a fierce battle, but if one of the main cities encounters a threatening enemy, the other main city will definitely not sit idly by.

If the rulers of Canglong City were to swallow their pride and beg the spatial ability users of Zhuque City to deploy tactical squads to New Testament City, it would still be a major headache.

“Finn, Vic, what are you doing? You are in charge of the security of New Testament City. If enemies from other main cities attack, you should report it to the Defense Department. Vic, how could you…” An old man with a thick beard came out and was about to reprimand the man in white, but he stopped talking and narrowed his eyes after seeing the scene.

"Vic, is this your reason for activating the highest level of alarm?" The old man asked, his tone tinged with danger as he looked at Gu Ran, who stood as straight as a pine tree.

“Yes, Speaker Mellon, this man from Azure Dragon City is incredibly powerful. If we are careless, we will suffer a great loss,” the white-robed man said earnestly.

183. He must have used a secret method to unleash his physical potential! 4k

Seeing the bearded old man come out, Gu Ran smiled.

"You must be Mellon, the president of the Bounty Hunters Association? I've been looking for you quite a bit. Since the other members of the Julyflower Hunters Association are here as well, I'll get straight to the point."

"New Covenant City must release all the imprisoned Azure Dragon City people. The governor must apologize and compensate them in the name of New Covenant City, hand over the mastermind behind this incident, punish the war criminals, and immediately reorganize the July Flower Hunter Association. The new list of candidates must be submitted to Azure Dragon City for review to prevent new war criminals from entering the Hunter Association."

"Any related conglomerates involved must be immediately dissolved. The families involved will be handed over to Azure Dragon City for disposal; their assets and businesses will be calculated by Azure Dragon City and used as compensation for the victims of this incident. The Bounty Hunter Association is hereby dissolved and is prohibited from operating in any major city. All slave trading, whether overt or covert, must cease completely..."

Not only the conditions related to this incident, Gu Ran also mentioned all the conditions he could think of that could "improve" New Covenant City.

The people present exchanged glances.

Does this guy even know what he's saying?

This was the same thought that arose in the minds of everyone present after hearing Gu Ran's conditions.

Mellon was so angry he laughed: "Hahaha, are you a clown from Azure Dragon City?!"

"If I didn't know, I would have thought that New Testament City had already been defeated by Azure Dragon City!"

Even if we hadn't been defeated yet, this agreement probably still wouldn't have been possible.

Because this even involves the true controllers of New Testament City, those large, clandestine corporations.

The head of the organization can be changed, an apology can be made, and even the Julyflower Hunters' Guild can be reorganized.

However, this is under the condition that the large conglomerates are not harmed, and these large conglomerates can "accept the loss" even if they suffer these losses.

But if they want to settle scores with themselves, then it will be a fight to the death.

Unless New Testament City suffers a crushing defeat and is reduced to a state of utter exhaustion, such an agreement is absolutely impossible to agree to.

However, Canglong City does not have that strength. If the war really goes to that extent, Canglong City itself will suffer a great loss of strength, and in the end, it will only be able to let other main cities take advantage of the situation and gain an advantage.

Although the decision was made to purge the Azure Dragon City people and Azure Dragon City descendants from New Testament City, no one believed that Azure Dragon City would engage in a life-or-death war with New Testament City as a result.

Azure Dragon City has just experienced internal strife, high-level personnel changes, and weakened strength. It would never choose to wage a large-scale war with New Covenant City at this time. At most, it would just protest and have some minor skirmishes.

This was the unanimous judgment of the upper echelons of New Testament City, so when faced with Gu Ran's words, they only felt it was laughable and a bit of absurd annoyance.

Where did this clown come from?

“Speaker Mellon, he’s the guy who rescued the people of Azure Dragon City,” the white-robed man said from the side.

"Oh?" Mellon, the president of the Bounty Hunter Association and also the chairman of the Julyflower Hunters Council, narrowed his eyes. "Why hasn't he been dealt with yet after so long? Why are those usually arrogant S-rank bounty hunters so humble this time? This should be the easiest S+ mission yet, and no one wants it?"

The Bounty Hunters Association needs the president's approval to add a new red-label S+ mission. However, Mellon's approval is not out of fear of Gu Ran's strength, but because he wants to get rid of this troublemaker as soon as possible and use the red-label S+ to incentivize the bounty hunters.

He has more important matters to discuss and handle, and doesn't have time to pay attention to such "trivial matters" for the time being.

However, this "small matter" has now undergone a surprising change, which he had not anticipated.
