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

......

Outside the light screen.

Ariel exuded a strong aura of menace, her face was as cold as frost, and a faint stream of water surrounded her.

No one doubts that if anyone dares to provoke her at this time, the consequences will be dire.

In fact, the powerful figures present were still somewhat embarrassed and guilty, even though they had already separated from New Covenant City.

In this scene, the role of humans is truly disgraceful.

However, everyone present knew that this was indeed a true reflection of the past period of time, and that those bounty hunters were exactly like that.

"Ahem, thankfully the Bounty Hunter Association has long been abolished and replaced by the Hero Association. I must say, the first president of the Hero Association was truly a hero among men. He possessed great strength and was also able to help the common people. He established an organization like the Hero Association to protect the interests of ordinary civilians."

"Yes, it's just a pity that the first president of the Hero Association was too mysterious. After he disappeared, no one even knew his identity."

Someone said regretfully.

......

In the light screen.

"Three, two..." A fierce glint flashed in the one-eyed dragon's eyes, and the knife held to the mermaid's neck sank deeper into her flesh.

"Don't kill her! I'll take her place! I'll take their place!"

Not far away, a pink mermaid surfaced and shouted loudly.

It was a small sea snail.

78. The Little Conch's real name, Gu Ran unleashes his full power!

Seeing the pink mermaid surface on her own, the one-eyed captain's lips curled into a slight smile.

Jennifer and the bald eagle immediately rushed towards the little conch.

The specially made fishing net fell from the bald eagle's talons, accelerated by Jennifer's superpower, and quickly opened and fell towards the little conch.

"Run! Eudora, run!"

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream came from the boat.

She was that middle-aged, beautiful mermaid, the mother of the little conch.

Her eyes were no longer filled with despair, but with worry—worry for her daughter.

"Hehe, beautiful mermaid lady, you will soon be reunited with your daughter."

The one-eyed captain threw the mermaid back into the tank and then ordered his crew to refill it.

Captain One-Eyed was clearly in a good mood, as he was about to get his hands on a pair of mermaid mother and daughter flowers. He couldn't help but light a cigar and take a puff.

"With these goods, I might be able to exchange them for enough Star Stones to advance me to an S-class ability user," the one-eyed captain murmured.

For these superhumans without any powerful backing, advancing to A-level is already extremely difficult, let alone S-level, which requires a massive amount of pure star stones, enough to wipe out most of a top bounty hunter's life savings.

Moreover, even if one absorbs pure star stones and increases the size of the supernatural crystal core to a level sufficient for advancement, success is not guaranteed; it requires exceptional talent or a sliver of luck.

He was willing to gamble everything for this slim chance of promotion.

"However, I am quite lucky to have met a pair of exquisite mermaid mother and daughter flowers. With their value, I might be able to collect the last pure star stone."

The one-eyed captain took a puff of his cigar, puffing out clouds of smoke with a contented air.

However, a scream suddenly came from the river not far away.

The one-eyed captain's pupils contracted; he recognized the scream as coming from the same source and quickly turned around to see what had happened.

"what!"

The black-haired warrior, with the speed of a cannonball, crashed into the specially made fishing net that was falling towards the small conch.

For Gu Ran, who had advanced to the Qi Condensation stage of martial arts, the black-haired martial artist, although also at the Qi Condensation stage and considered to be at the same level as him, no longer posed any threat to him.

The martial arts of the Far East City, as described by the black-haired warrior, seemed to him as flashy and frivolous, like children playing house.

The moment Gu Ran saw the little conch emerge from the water, he knew something was wrong.

Gu Ran had already witnessed the inherent flaws of bounty hunters in Saint-Joy City, so he guessed the sinister intentions of the one-eyed captain.

However, the distance was too far, and he could no longer travel at will like a spatial ability user, so he could not rush to save Xiao Hailuo immediately. Therefore, Gu Ran simply kicked the black-haired martial artist in front of him.

The black-haired martial artist's spine was broken on the spot by Gu Ran's kick, and at the same time, he spat out a sky full of blood flowers.

The black-haired martial artist, whom Gu Ran mistook for a soccer ball, crashed into the specially made fishing net, sending it flying.

This time, because it was one of their own, the bald eagle did not use its talons to catch it.

"Little conch, run!"

"I've come to save them!"

Gu Ran immediately shouted loudly.

At this moment, he no longer cared about concealing his relationship with the little conch, because he was afraid that the little conch would believe the one-eyed captain's words and refuse to escape in order to save her mother and her clan, and would have to exchange herself for him.

Hearing her mother and Gu Ran calling out, the little conch hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to continue diving back into the water.

"That kid is actually in cahoots with these mermaids?" The one-eyed captain looked at Gu Ran, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that the little conch had obeyed her and finally dived underwater, Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

If the little conch shell were in their hands, he would really be hesitant to act rashly.

"We can't delay any longer. It would be troublesome if the River Guard from New Testament City came." Gu Ran stood in mid-air and flew towards Jennifer and the bald eagle.

Due to its unique geographical location, in addition to the city defense forces that other major cities also have, New Testament City also has a special river protection force to safeguard the normal operation of the waterways.

Gu Ran couldn't determine how many skilled soldiers were in this river protection force, and he wanted to avoid any unforeseen complications and eliminate them as quickly as possible.

"I didn't expect him to be a martial arts master who has reached the Qi Condensation stage." Jennifer looked at Gu Ran rushing towards her, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. She was only a B-level ability user, no match for a martial arts master who had reached the Qi Condensation stage.

There were only three people on the entire ship who were either martial arts experts at the Qi Condensation stage or A-level superhumans.

“Although you are stronger than me, don’t think you can kill me so easily!” Jennifer was on high alert.

The bald eagle was the same; it was also a B-level ability user, and it was no match for Gu Ran either.

What no one expected was that as Gu Ran flew towards them, he turned and flew towards the boat at an extremely high speed.

In fact, Gu Ran's initial target was the ship, or more precisely, the mermaids on it. The reason he initially targeted Bald Eagle and his group was to make the few people left on the ship lower their guard.

Although the little conch successfully escaped temporarily, these mermaids were bait to lure it into a trap, and he couldn't possibly abandon the little conch and escape alone.

Therefore, he had to save these mermaids, especially the mother of the little conch.

"Ha, young man, you've got some nerve." The one-eyed captain looked at Gu Ran flying toward him, took a puff of his cigar without the slightest panic, and then exhaled sharply.

Thick white smoke billowed from the one-eyed captain's mouth, quickly filling the entire ship and then spreading to other areas.

After being enveloped in white smoke, the ship immediately disappeared from Gu Ran's sight.

“This ability…” Gu Ran frowned slightly, “is a bit troublesome.”

As Gu Ran rushed into the white smoke, he looked around and saw nothing but white. It was as if he had entered a completely white world, without a single other color.

Not to mention the boat, there wasn't even a trace of the river, let alone anything else.

"Illusion?" Gu Ran observed the white smoke. "It doesn't seem like it; it looks like real smoke."

"Then such smoke should have an upper limit to the damage it can withstand."

In an instant, Gu Ran thought of a solution: brute force could overcome all methods.

If it's an illusion, then even if you have the power, it's difficult to succeed if you don't use it in the right place.

But now that the smoke is actually a physical object, things are much easier.

Gu Ran's dantian instantly absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy—he was about to unleash his full power!

79. Kill the shark! 6.1k

What would it be like if Gu Ran unleashed his full power?

Gu Ran himself didn't know. He used to think that he was only at the level of a few dozen bears, but after fighting the black-haired warrior, Gu Ran felt that he might have underestimated himself.

Now that he has advanced to the Martial Arts Qi Condensation stage, just how much has his strength increased?

The white mist obscured people's vision, but it could not block the spiritual energy that filled the world.

Centered on Gu Ran, a huge vortex of spiritual energy was formed, and a massive amount of spiritual energy was poured into Gu Ran's body.

Of course, only those who are sensitive to spiritual energy can sense the unusual movements of spiritual energy.

For example, the black-haired martial artist from the Far East City was currently unconscious due to damage to his dantian and a broken spine, so he was naturally unable to warn others.

After an almost endless supply of spiritual energy flowed into his body, Gu Ran felt full of power, as if he could punch a mountain to pieces.

"Should I give this punch a name?" Gu Ran wondered. "What name should I give it?"

"There doesn't seem to be a good name for it. It's just a normal full-power punch, so let's call it 'A Normal Full-Power Punch'."

With a thought flashing through his mind, Gu Ran, who was terrible at naming things, clenched his right hand and unleashed a full-force attack on the thick white smoke in front of him!
