You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

That evening, Qin Ran received a call from Fu Yuanwu.

"Uncle, is something wrong so late?"

"I told the four major families about the annulment of the engagement, but the Gu family is somewhat dissatisfied. They suggested that they have a contest with you. If you lose, you will have to withdraw and abandon my daughter. Do you think that's acceptable?"

Qin Ran frowned upon hearing this.

He had already revealed his identity at the Fu family's residence.

The Gu family actually dared to provoke them.

Qin Ran sensed that something was wrong.

There must be something fishy about this.

"Did the Gu family contact you personally?"

"Yes, the other party is Gu Fengzhi, the young master of the Gu family, whom you have met before."

Qin Ran sneered.

Where did this ancient-style guy get the courage to provoke him?

"No problem, if they want to play, I'm happy to play along," Qin Ran said.

"Then it's decided. The duel will take place at Longteng Manor at 10:00 AM tomorrow."

"Okay, I will definitely be on time."

After agreeing on the terms, Qin Ran hung up the phone.

He also wanted to see just how powerful the Gu family really was.

……

The next day.

Qin Ran and the other two went to Longteng Manor.

The Gu family hasn't arrived yet.

Qin Ran went directly to find Fu Xueru.

After meeting, the two started chatting.

"I won't show myself when you're having your match later. I'll just observe from the shadows. You'd better perform well and make the Gu family give up on that idea completely." Fu Xueru looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran sneered: "Senior Sister, it would be beneath me to fight them. Today, I will show them the true power of Young Master Qin."

"The Gu family's sudden decision to challenge you to a duel must have been carefully considered. They probably have a trump card up their sleeve. Don't be too arrogant. As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall. I hope you understand this principle."

"I know, just you wait and see," Gu Chuan said, feigning nonchalance.

Fu Xueru's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Ji Ruyan and Tang Da.

"Who are these two?"

"They are all my friends. This is Tang Da, and this is Ji Ruyan."

"Greetings, God of War!" Tang Daji and Ruyan exclaimed in unison.

Fu Xueru nodded, then looked at Qin Ran and said, "I'll go take care of things now. You guys wait here for the Gu family to arrive."

"it is good."

Fu Xueru turned and left with her deputy.

Tang Da leaned closer and said, "Boss, your senior sister is really elegant. No wonder she's the Goddess of War of the Dragon Kingdom."

"Sigh, the more elegant and higher the status, the harder they are to win over."

Ji Ruyan continued, "This competition is a great opportunity for you. Show your skills and impress Fu Xueru. Women like that admire strength. The stronger you are, the more she will appreciate you."

I agree with that.

At the same time, Fu Yuanwu arrived with the Gu family father and son, as well as Ji Guhan.

When Qin Ran saw Ji Guhan, a smirk appeared on his lips.

He knew it; where did the Gu family get the right to provoke him?

It turns out it was all because of Ji Guhan.

Unfortunately, the Gu family chose the wrong person.

Ji Guhan was his defeated opponent before.

This time is no exception.

"Young Master Qin, you've arrived quite early," Fu Yuanwu greeted him with a smile.

"I just arrived a little while ago."

"Let me introduce you. This is Gu Tao, the head of the Gu family. This is Gu Fengzhi, the young master of the Gu family, whom you met yesterday. As for this one, he's no ordinary person..."

"This one needs no introduction, I've met him before, he's Ji Guhan, the head of the Lingxiao Sword Sect." Qin Ran said with a sneer.

"Oh, so you two know each other."

Qin Ran looked at Ji Guhan: "Sect Leader Ji, it's been a long time."

"Today's battle will determine who is superior and who dies. Do you dare?"

"Hahaha, some people must be suffering from amnesia. You're my defeated opponent."

The Gu family father and son looked rather grim after hearing this.

It turns out that Ji Guhan lost to Qin Ran in their last duel.

It seems he wants revenge this time, to wipe away his previous humiliation.

I just don't know if he has the ability.

Ji Guhan stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing aura without anger: "You should have heard the saying, 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation.' Temporary success or failure doesn't prove anything. I can't keep losing, and you can't keep winning."

"Well said. It seems you've improved a lot during this time. I'd also like to experience the Ji family's swordsmanship again."

"You'd better watch carefully later, I'm afraid it will blind your eyes."

"Enough with the chit-chat, let's get started." Qin Ran said impatiently.

Afterwards, Fu Yuanwu led them to an open space outside.

This place is large enough to allow for plenty of room to maneuver.

Qin Ran and Ji Guhan are locked in a battle of opposing forces.

Ji Guhan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

This time, we must avenge this defeat no matter what.

We must not allow the Lingxiao Sword Mansion to lose face again.

The next second, he drew his sword.

This single action alone exudes a menacing aura.

Today was supposed to be a beautiful, sunny day.

But suddenly a gust of wind blew in.

A strong wind swept up fallen leaves, which floated in mid-air.

The sky began to darken.

A giant dark cloud loomed over the arena.

Qin Ran's expression grew increasingly serious.

He could sense the endless killing intent all around him.

This guy has become stronger.

And it's not just a little bit stronger.

Such a powerful killing intent was something Qin Ran had never seen before among orthodox martial arts practitioners.

Ji Guhan had previously sparred with Qin Ran.

He understood Qin Ran's strength, so he didn't want to waste his time.

Ji Guhan suddenly gathered his strength and shouted, "Thunderbolt Thrust!"

A bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds.

Ji Guhan's sword drew forth a sudden burst of tiny lightning bolts.

He was very fast, thrusting out several swords in succession.

A series of lightning bolts shot straight at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran moved swiftly, leaping into the air and dodging the attacks.

Lightning struck the ground, producing a violent explosion and sparks.

Everyone was shocked; what kind of move was this?

Qin Ran dodged while looking for an opportunity to strike.

Seizing the opportunity, he threw a punch at Ji Guhan.

Ji Guhan wielded his sword, deftly deflecting the explosive attack.

Meanwhile, he continued to unleash his Thunder Strike.

Qin Ran also unleashed his Cold Sea True Qi.

This was the first time he had used the Cold Sea True Qi since he obtained it.

The true energy from the ancient deep sea instantly suppressed the Thunderclap Technique.

The lightning in the void was directly severed by the cold air.

Ji Guhan was also stunned.

What move did Qin Ran just use?

He didn't use such a move in the last competition.

The two faced each other again.

Qin Ran sneered: "You are indeed stronger than last time. I've never seen you use the sword in your hand to control lightning to attack the enemy before."

"This move is called Thunder Thrust, a technique from the peerless martial art, Heaven-Burning Thunder Sword. Now that I have mastered this peerless technique, you will surely die by my hand today," Ji Guhan said sinisterly.

Qin Ran frowned slightly.

Burning Heaven Thunder Sword!

He seemed to have heard his master mention this secret technique of supernatural powers before.

Seeing it today, its power is indeed astonishing.

"No wonder you were in such a hurry to challenge me to a duel; it turns out you've mastered an unparalleled martial art."

"Enough with the nonsense, take my second move: Burning Slash!"

The sword in Ji Guhan's hand was instantly engulfed in flames.

He brandished his sword, and intense lightning and flames erupted from its blade.

This move is even more powerful than the Thunder Strike.

Thunder and flames rushed towards Qin Ran like a fire demon.

Qin Ran remained calm and continued to unleash his Cold Sea True Qi.

In an instant, the lightning flames were disintegrated by this cold true energy.

Ji Guhan was immediately shocked: "What kind of move is that?"

"This is the True Qi of the Frost Sea, the original essence cultivated by the ancient sea people. Your moves are based on lightning and thunder flames, while my True Qi of the Frost Sea is just the perfect match for your moves. You cannot defeat me today."

Ji Guhan roared, "You can't scare me. Even if it means we both die, I'll make you die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Guhan rose up from the ground, his body hovering in mid-air.

He used the sharp sword in his hand to draw out the lightning once again.

"Heavenly Thunder Wrath!"

At the same time, lightning enveloped the entire sky above Longteng Manor.

Lightning flashed continuously in the sky.

It was like a giant electric grid that was about to engulf the entire mountain resort.

Countless bolts of lightning intertwined, forming a thunderstorm.

The Gu family father and son were so frightened that they turned and ran away.

This isn't a martial arts contest, this is clearly a life-or-death struggle.

What deep-seated grudge do Ji Guhan and Qin Ran have that they're taking this so seriously?

Fu Xueru, who was not far away, was also amazed by this scene.

He had never seen such a powerful cultivator among the common people.

The next second, the thunderstorm surged toward Qin Ran like a volcanic eruption.

Qin Ran felt as if the air itself was about to ignite.

He roared and threw a punch straight at him.

The true energy of the cold sea suddenly emerged.

It was like a giant hand blocking Qin Ran's way.

The thunderstorm was instantly frozen, turning into a giant ice sculpture.

Ji Guhan's eyes were bloodshot: "No...this is impossible..."

Qin Ran seized the opportunity and leaped into the air.

He condensed the true energy of the cold sea into his palm.

The true energy formed a transparent ice ball.

Qin Ran prepared to deliver the final blow.

The ice hockey puck sliced ​​through the air, striking the opponent squarely in the chest.

Ji Guhan still wanted to use the sharp sword in his hand to block.

But the sword was broken.

The hockey puck hit him in the chest.

Ji Guhan suddenly retreated.

After flying dozens of meters, it crashed heavily to the ground.

The cold poison entered his body, and he trembled and vomited blood continuously.

He also wanted to gather his strength to unleash the Burning Thunder Sword.

But when he exerted himself, he vomited blood again.

Ji Guhan collapsed to the ground and could not get up again.

Qin Ran smiled coldly, but did not kill him.

Ji Guhan is a worthy opponent.

Moreover, he is the head of the Lingxiao Sword Palace.

Killing him would bring unnecessary trouble.

Qin Ran knew he already had enough enemies, and he didn't want to go on a rampage of hatred with these orthodox martial arts practitioners.

Ji Guhan was willing to die to win because he cared too much about the reputation of the Lingxiao Sword Mansion.

He placed himself in a very high position.

A position where failure is not an option.

While meditating, Qin Ran flashed to Ji Guhan's side.

"I have lost. I have no face to return to the Lingxiao Sword Technique. Kill me."
