Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

In Japan, swords and knives are inseparable; a knife can also be used as a sword. Therefore, Gu Ran has always been a practitioner of both.

The next second, Gu Ran, like a martial arts master in a wuxia movie, kicked off the side wall of the elevator shaft and soared into the sky towards his next target.

The White Snake Spits Its Tongue, Sweeping Leaves with the Wind, and Overturning Rivers and Seas are all ancient martial arts sword techniques. Gu Ran uses the Sharingan's insightful ability, combined with his physical coordination, to choose the appropriate moves to strike, and every sword strike can pierce Deadpool's throat!

Such a move requires extremely fast reaction speed and also consumes Gu Ran's mental energy.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" Genjiro glanced at it and stopped himself from helping, because he was truly strong.

At that moment, Yuan Zhisheng fully realized that he really couldn't beat Gu Ran, even if he activated the Dragon Bone.

Chu Zihang and Caesar felt relieved because Gu Ran helped deal with the Deadpools above, and they began to focus their attention on shooting at the Deadpools in the elevator shaft.

None of the three noticed that, after so long, Gu Ran's body and the knife in his hand remained unstained with blood.

Because the moment the bloodstains were on him, Gu Ran submitted Deadpool's blood sample to the system.

It is foreseeable that after this battle, Gu Ran will obtain a large number of Deadpool blood samples, and his strength will further increase!

Before long, Gu Ran single-handedly dealt with more than a dozen Dead Servants above the elevator shaft. All of them were either decapitated with a single slash or had their throats and hearts pierced.

Such battles are actually very taxing on Gu Ran, because he has to constantly observe with his Sharingan in order to deal with Deadpools with a single strike with extremely fast reflexes. To outsiders, it looks very easy, like mowing grass, but in reality, each Deadpool's combat ability is no less than that of an A-rank hybrid, and they are even stronger in terms of speed and durability.

If Gu Ran didn't have enough chakra to support him, he would probably have been exhausted long ago.

However, when he returned to the elevator shaft, he discovered that Caesar and the others were on the verge of losing control.

Because the main weapon, the Gatling gun, overheated, malfunctions began to appear, and the motor actually broke down!

This Gatling gun was originally just an antique model displayed in a museum, so it's quite remarkable that it has survived to this day.

Many people's impression of Gatling guns comes from video games. These machine guns are usually mounted on helicopters for use, but the history of Gatling guns is actually very long. They were invented as early as the 1860s. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was still in power, and Li Hongzhang even purchased several Gatling guns for the Qing Dynasty.

Back then, Gatling guns were still manually cranked for firing, and their rate of fire could already exceed one hundred bullets per minute, which was a revolutionary invention at the time.

The reason it could fire more than a thousand shots per minute later was because an electric motor was used instead of a manual hand crank.

Now Caesar's Gatling gun's motor is broken, and the hand crank is also malfunctioning due to the barrel overheating, making it completely unusable. Moreover, the Gatling gun is almost out of ammunition.

Right now, the three of them are just using submachine guns to suppress the barrage, but submachine guns are inferior to Gatling guns in both the number of bullets and the penetrating power of the bullets.

Just as Deadpool was about to appear, Gu Ran took out a piece of explosive clay from his waist pouch, shaped several pieces of clay into one large one, wrapped it with an explosive tag, and then threw it at the place where Deadpool was concentrated.

The clay hit Deadpool on the head. Just as Deadpool was about to shove the clay away, Gu Ran immediately shouted!

Chapter 428 The Japanese's Credibility

The next instant, the explosive clay and explosive tags exploded, blasting away the five or six Deadpools around them, who then fell into the elevator shaft!

Many of the Deadpools around were also knocked down by the shockwave of the explosion.

However, Gu Ran's explosive clay and explosive tags only produce shockwaves and fire damage, but not the fragmentation damage of grenades. And the shockwaves have very limited effect on Deadpool, who is covered in scales.

"This won't do, Deadpool from up there is coming again." Gu Ran yelled at the three of them, then pointed up.

If they were outdoors, Gu Ran could use the power of lightning to show off his skills. He could use the Word of Power: Azure Lightning to control and guide the lightning, along with the S-rank ninjutsu Lightning Release: Kirin, to attack these dead servants with the power of lightning. Even if they weren't electrocuted, they would be paralyzed by the lightning, and then he could slowly harvest them in a short while.

However, this is indoors, so the number of area-of-effect damage moves available is limited. He can use Fire Release, but he might accidentally set the entire building on fire.

Even Chu Zihang was restraining himself from using Junyan, because using Junyan indoors would produce an effect similar to a dust explosion, which would harm both himself and others.

"How about we bring all the Deadpools into the mural hall and burn it down?" Gu Ran looked at Yuan Zhisheng, seeking the owner's consent, since it would be burning down an entire floor.

Burning one floor is safer because the flames are confined to that floor, while setting fire to the elevator shaft, which is vertical, could allow the flames to spread to all floors.

Yuan Zhisheng also knew the seriousness of the problem. Relying solely on bullets was not a solution. In such a short period of time, they had already fired at least five thousand rounds of ammunition. This was just a weapons display area, not a real armory, and the ammunition was limited.

He then learned of Gu Ran's plan: to use the mural hall as a fire pit and smother all the Dead Servants inside.

"Can they be set on fire?" Chu Zihang shouted.

“Deadpools are also carbon-based life forms, and judging from their appearance, they should be like mermaid corpse guards, with a lot of fat inside their bodies,” Gu Ran said. “As long as the water inside is evaporated, they should be able to burn easily.”

Caesar looked around and said, "There's only one exit here, the elevator shaft. The plan is feasible. We can lure them all to the mural hall, and then guard this single exit. It's more reliable than endless shooting from inside the elevator shaft."

"No need. We can just use explosives to collapse the elevator entrance and seal the Corpse Guardians inside the mural hall," Yuan Zhisheng asked. "Do you have enough explosives?"

Chu Zihang did a quick mental calculation: "The structure at the elevator entrance should be sufficient to collapse."

"The next question is how to lure these Deadpools to the mural hall," Gu Ran said, looking at Yuan Zhisheng.

"I have a plan. I'll be the bait." At this moment, Yuan Zhisheng raised his gun and aimed it at the mermaid lamp in the mural hall, firing two shots. The burning mermaid lamp fell to the ground with a crash, and mermaid oil spilled all over the floor. The mural hall was eventually set ablaze.

At this moment, Gu Ran quickly took out detonating tags and detonating clay, placed them around the elevator shaft, and also put the remaining bullets together, preparing to set up a trap.

Caesar and the others knew his intentions, and after they had emptied their magazines, they threw him their ammunition pouches.

Gu Ran hid all the remaining bullets and C4 in a spot below the elevator shaft, and then secretly used the Light and Heavy Rock Technique to make it float up on its own for a while.

"withdraw!"

Chu Zihang shouted, and everyone withdrew from the elevator shaft. Then, Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng pushed the heavy iron wheel shrine over to block the elevator door.

Deadpool, seeing that there were no bullet screens to block him, immediately rushed up from the elevator shaft.

Gu Ran had been observing with a disdainful look. The moment Deadpool rushed up, the trap floating in the elevator shaft was activated. Gu Ran gave a soft shout, and the explosive clay, along with the explosive tags, exploded once again.

At the same time, the high temperature and flames from the explosion will ignite the primer of the bullet, and in an instant, the fired bullet heads will start to fly everywhere in the confined elevator shaft.

Although these bullets lacked chamber pressure acceleration and had limited lethality, they still caused the Deadpools to feel pain for a while and let out baby-like cries!

“I have never hated the sound of a baby crying as much as I do now,” Caesar said, panting.

At this time, everyone took the opportunity to rest and recover their strength.

Although the shrine was sturdy, it would soon be breached by the Dead Servants, so Gu Ran and the others had to prepare as soon as possible.

Genjiro went to lure the Deadpool by leaving his blood in the mural hall and simultaneously making the fire in the mural hall even bigger.

Gu Ran, Caesar, and Chu Zihang went to the deepest part of the armory to quickly replenish their weapons and ammunition.

"Senior brother, you should use this sword." Gu Ran then handed the Ichimonji Norimune to Chu Zihang; this katana was suitable for charging into battle.

Chu Zihang nodded, took the Ichimonji Norimune, and then returned the Wakizashi Kotetsu to Gu Ran.

Caesar still had the 'Western Watch' and mercury bullets unused, as well as two magazines of mercury core bullets.

It's sufficient for self-defense.

"Speaking of which, do you really believe that Japanese guy?" Caesar said. "That guy has dragon blood flowing through his veins, and the shamelessness of the Japanese is known all over the world. I remember that in order to prevent the American army from properly occupying Okinawa, they killed more than 200,000 Okinawans who had helped the Japanese army!"

Okinawa, or present-day Okinawa Island, was an outpost for the U.S. military's invasion of the Japanese mainland during the Pacific War of World War II. In the spring of 1945, Japan had suffered a complete collapse in the Pacific theater, and the U.S. military was about to land on Okinawa!

According to the Cairo Declaration of 1943, the Okinawa Islands and the Korean Peninsula, which were occupied by Japan, no longer belong to Japan.

Therefore, the Japanese planned to kill all the Okinawans.

Since Okinawa is no longer under Japanese control, we should "rather die than live in dishonor" and not leave the Okinawans to be prisoners of war by the American military!

Because the Japanese occupation of Okinawa was characterized by inhumane and oppressive colonial rule, it aroused the resistance of the Okinawan people.

Furthermore, the military facilities on Okinawa were all built with the help of Okinawans, and the Japanese were afraid that these facilities would be used by the US military.

Meanwhile, the Japanese troops stationed in Okinawa were already running out of food. Because Okinawa had been blockaded by the US military, food could not be transported in at all. As a result, the Japanese army in Okinawa had to resort to competing with the local people for food.

For these reasons, the Japanese carried out a bloody suppression and massacre of the Okinawan people. The Japanese gave grenades to the Okinawans and then surrounded them with machine guns, forcing them to pull the pins and commit suicide with grenades.

According to subsequent statistics, no fewer than 250,000 Okinawan residents were driven to their deaths.

Even now, the Japanese right wing shamelessly claims that the people of Okinawa committed 'mass suicide' and that no massacre ever occurred.

Currently, Okinawa is occupied by the US military and serves as a US military base in Okinawa. In 1972, the United States transferred executive power to the Japanese government for administration.

"Now that we've chosen to cooperate, all we can do is trust each other, right?" Chu Zihang said.

“Although I don’t believe in the Japanese or dragons with dragon blood, I do believe in Genjiro’s character,” Gu Ran said. “At least he still considers himself a human being.”

Caesar shrugged helplessly, then suddenly remembered what happened on the Sumeru Throne and said to Gu Ran, "Back on the Sumeru Throne, it was you who said the Japanese devils were untrustworthy."

He had blamed Gu Ran for being paranoid, but just as Gu Ran had said, they were all thrown into the sea by Yuan Zhisheng.

"Times change!" Gu Ran smiled.

"By the way, how do you manage to move freely in and out of the elevator shaft?" Caesar asked Gu Ran with considerable curiosity.

He had previously seen that Gu Ran could actually stick to the wall of the elevator shaft and jump around nimbly.

Gu Ran casually lied and said, "It's based on the principle of electromagnetism. I can use magnetic force to stick to reinforced concrete."

"Oh!" Caesar and Chu Zihang both nodded slightly, because this explanation was very scientific. They had known for a long time that Gu Ran could use electric-attribute words of power, although they still did not know the name of Gu Ran's words of power, only that he could generate electricity.

Caesar then heard the sound of the shrine collapsing, and Deadpool began to enter.

He and Chu Zihang exchanged a glance, preparing to stand guard in front of the armory.

Gu Ran placed explosive clay wrapped in detonating tags around the remaining bullets in the armory, preparing to burn the place down in a bit to end it all.

A moment later, Caesar, hearing the commotion from the weasel, whispered, "Deadpools have come in, densely packed, more than a hundred in number."

The armory door was closed. Caesar looked at the two men beside him: "Ready?"

Chu Zihang nodded.

Gu Ran said, "Let's begin."

Caesar pressed the mechanism on the armory door, and the door opened, revealing a Deadpool hanging upside down on it.

As soon as the door opened, Deadpool immediately attacked Caesar, who was at the front opening the door. However, Caesar had already sensed Deadpool's presence through the Weasel, and immediately took out the Desert Eagle pistol from the Western Watchers and shot Deadpool in the abdomen.

The mercury core armor-piercing projectile, with its immense penetrating power, instantly pierced through the scales, and Deadpool collapsed to the ground in agony.

Chu Zihang quickly stepped forward, gripped the Ichimonji Norimune sword, and pierced the Dead Servant's head. At the same time, Gu Ran also took the opportunity to step forward and pierced the Dead Servant's heart with the Kotetsu sword.

"Wow, you Lionhearts are really violent!" Caesar remarked.

Chu Zihang and Gu Ran are both members of the Lionheart Society; one is the current president, and the other is the designated next president.

“If we don’t use violence against the Deadpools, they might retaliate.” Chu Zihang coldly drew his longsword and walked out of the armory first.

Caesar immediately followed, standing back-to-back with Chu Zihang. As longtime rivals, they were quite familiar with each other's moves, so they were able to coordinate well.

Gu Ran activated his Byakugan to be on guard. Byakugan allows him to see the surroundings from every angle, so he is not worried about any Deadpools attacking him.

But because of the glare, he immediately got a clear look at the situation in the mural hall.
