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

"If you hadn't seen that I had no talent for martial arts back then, why would you have let me go? You only let me go because you wanted to continue torturing me and bring shame to the Zhao family!"

Zhao Hao was filled with hatred.

"Fortunately, although I don't have martial arts talent, I did awaken a superpower. In order to avoid being silenced by you, I immediately fled Azure Dragon City after awakening my fire-type superpower and went to New Covenant City to become a bounty hunter!"

"I've been waiting for my chance to get revenge, and finally, today I've had it! Gu Ran, that devil, disbanded the Bounty Hunter Association, which I hated deeply, but now I really have to thank him for giving me such a perfect opportunity for revenge!"

The flames burning throughout Canglong City further amplified the power of fire-based abilities. Zhao Hao waved his arm, and a fire dragon condensed beside him, rushing towards Kuangdao Baifengfei!

Despite being severely injured, Mad Blade Bai Feng refused to sit idly by and wait for death. He roared, raised his blade, poured all the spiritual power in his body, and unleashed his most powerful attack.

He wanted to take advantage of the moment when the other party was off guard!

This is a move he has kept hidden for many years. As soon as it is used, it will immediately drain the spiritual energy from his body, leaving him exhausted.

However, its power should not be underestimated; even a martial arts master who has condensed their Qi can be seriously injured if they are careless.

Moreover, the physical strength of a superhuman is far inferior to that of a martial artist. Once the opponent is hit by his move, they will certainly not be able to escape unscathed.

But to his utter astonishment, a defensive barrier suddenly rose in front of Zhao Hao, protecting him.

boom!

Centered on the two individuals, a powerful shockwave destroyed all the surrounding buildings and trees.

The neighborhood was already nearly half destroyed by the previous turmoil, and now it is completely destroyed, with all the buildings collapsed.

The civilians affected by the tragedy died without even being able to utter a painful cry.

In the past, fighting between martial artists and superhumans was forbidden in Canglong City because it could easily affect civilians. Even fighting in the slums would be severely punished.

However, now that Canglong City has lost its order, martial artists and superhumans no longer care about the original rules.

As for the civilians caught in the crossfire during the fight, they didn't care at all.

They are just ordinary people who failed to enter the path of martial arts and awaken their supernatural abilities. There are as many as you can ask for. Every year, countless ordinary people die in the major cities due to the ferocious beast tides.

Anyway, they can be reborn quickly after they die.

As the smoke cleared, Zhao Hao reappeared.

Bai Feng's attack had indeed hurt him badly, but fortunately, he had obtained a defensive item when he was a bounty hunter, which was powerful enough to withstand a blow from an ordinary martial arts Qi Condensation cultivator. This item saved his life at this critical moment.

"They're really not to be underestimated; we almost capsized in the gutter." Zhao Hao looked at Bai Feng cruelly. "But it seems I had the last laugh."

Zhao Hao waved his arm, and another fire dragon appeared.

This fire dragon is much smaller than before and looks very weak.

However, dealing with Bai Feng now would be enough to kill him.

Suddenly, a figure appeared between the two.

"What a mess you've made!"

The voice of that figure seemed to come from hell, filled with gloom and cruelty.

Zhao Hao and Bai Feng were immediately startled. When they saw the mountain of corpses beside the figure and a head floating alone, they immediately realized who it was.

"run!"

Zhao Hao had only this thought in his mind at the moment, and he couldn't even care about the person who killed his father.

Bai Feng felt a mixture of fear and joy.

He was on the verge of death, but unexpectedly, he was saved from his desperate situation.

It was the person who saved him...

Gu Ran did not make any movement.

The next moment, the two of them froze in place like quails being pinched.

Zhao Hao and Bai Feng were unaware that their recent battle had affected not only civilians, but also one of Gu Ran's students.

Because he was multitasking, Gu Ran didn't realize in time that there was another martial artist and a superhuman fighting here. He was busy using his telekinesis to save students in other places who were in a state of emergency.

It only took a little longer than expected, and the martial artists and superhumans here had already decided the winner.

Their impact was very widespread; dozens of buildings in one block were completely destroyed and collapsed.

One of the buildings collapsed and hit his student, who was unconscious.

For Gu Ran, it was only a matter of a few breaths before the student he hadn't been watching died.

The two culprits didn't even know they had just accidentally killed their student.

"You will not die immediately. You will gradually feel difficulty breathing. If you mobilize the power in your dantian or heart to nourish your body, you will live a little longer, but your pain will still exist."

Gu Ran's eyes were bloodshot.

He told the two men in front of them how he was going to execute them.

"And your fate will only be one—death!"

He wanted them to slowly experience the fear of impending death.

Zhao Hao and Bai Feng's eyes were filled with fear. They wanted to defend themselves and beg for mercy, but because their necks were being choked by some force, they could only make "mmm" sounds.

Finally, the eyes of the two people slowly turned to despair and resentment.

Gu Ran didn't care about the grudge between the two, nor did he care who was more in the right.

He paid no attention to the resentful looks from the two people.

All he could see was the pile of flesh and blood buried under the collapsed building opposite him.

Those were his students.

Gu Ran didn't even have time to grieve for his students, because he had to go and save other students.

After flipping over the collapsed building and using his telekinetic powers to lift up the pile of flesh and blood underneath, Gu Ran quickly rushed to the next location.

In the process of rescuing his students, Gu Ran's anxiety and violent impulses grew stronger.

At one point, he even wondered if killing all the civilians around him and then selectively hunting down the martial artists and superhumans near his students would be a better option.

In a daze, Gu Ran felt his soul become lighter, more ethereal, leaving his body and rising higher and higher.

Until it rose into the starry sky!

"Gu Ran, we originally came from the same source!"

"Haha, join us! Join us!"

"We are the eternal path!"

......

An endless sound resounded in his ears.

Those voices were both seductive and manic.

There's a strange melody that keeps these words swirling in my mind, impossible to shake off.

Gu Ran immediately drew his nameless sword and, expressionless, stabbed himself in the thigh.

When the pain struck, all the "hallucinations" vanished instantly.

But were those really hallucinations?

Illusions about the starry sky?

Those are... demons of the starry sky?

Gu Ran couldn't help but have some questions.

But now was not the time to explore these questions, so Gu Ran quickly put them to himself.

When he rescued the last student, it felt as if he had completed the final trial, and Gu Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But when he saw the last 21 students, he couldn't help but fall silent.

In the end, despite his best efforts, he only managed to save these 21 students.

He felt extremely guilty towards them.

It was unusual for Gu Ran to feel that his strength was too weak.

If he were stronger, he might have been able to save them.

If he were stronger, he might have been able to completely eliminate those evil beings when the extraterrestrials arrived.

If he were stronger, perhaps even Xue Yingsong wouldn't have died.

If he had been powerful enough, perhaps none of the tragedies would have happened.

I want to become stronger!

It will be much more powerful than it is now!

A strong urge to become stronger suddenly arose in Gu Ran's heart.

No matter what the method is! No matter what price he has to pay!

We need to be twice as powerful as we are now!

It will be ten times stronger than it is now!
