Chapter 219: Chapter 218: Light and Darkness · Wounds √ · Death ×

Ma Ran swept his gaze and found that within the Grass Hut Academy, representatives from various countries around the world were reacting differently.

Some were regretting.

Some were rejoicing.

And some were worrying.

“As expected.”

Ma Ran had a mild obsession.

When saving people, he always wanted to save everyone worth saving.

But…

One thing, Ma Ran had already seen through even before his rebirth— not everyone could be called human.

Ungrateful wolves who repay kindness with enmity.

Traitors who allied with aliens and became even more vicious than the aliens themselves.

Those who, at crucial strategic battles, backstabbed teammates for selfish gains, harming partners and killing to seize treasures.

So, Ma Ran was very clear.

Such scum seldom appeared before Ma Ran.

Why?

Are there no such people domestically?

Of course, that’s impossible!

No group is perfect and flawless.

In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds.

With over a billion people in China, wouldn’t it be a paradise if no scum emerged?

So…

Not only are there such people, but they are in considerable numbers!

The reason why such scum almost never appeared before Ma Ran before integrating with the international community was only one!

Because…

These guys had already been declared dead in advance.

Some people…

Do not deserve to enjoy the beauty of the world; every breath they take is polluting the Earth’s air.

They should die.

The sooner they die, the better.

Their despicable genes do not deserve a place in the human gene pool.

The work in this regard was mainly handled by 98725 before.

After Ma Ran obtained the [Sword Master] medal, perfectly mastering the multiplication ability, and reaching the Grandmaster Realm in Enclosure Text…

Any “blacklist users” appearing within 500 kilometers of Ma Ran would die quietly, without causing a ripple.

Of course, not everyone is a malevolent spirit with base thoughts.

In the world, most people are worth saving.

One cannot dismiss everyone with a single stroke.

If the “light” in this world were not far greater than the “darkness,” even in the apocalypse, countless seemingly ordinary people would shine with the brilliance of humanity. With Ma Ran’s character, perhaps he wouldn’t wait for the aliens to arrive, having already initiated a destruction mode himself, wreaking havoc without restraint.

Several representatives with ulterior motives were now standing outside the warning line, beginning to transmit messages to Ma Ran, starting to point fingers.

“The prisoner just now obviously had a broken protective suit; why didn’t they self-destruct? We have every reason and evidence to suspect that these so-called ’Longevity Star People’ aliens have a close connection with the Chinese side, or even originate from China. We hope you can provide some explanation!”

“What does ’Pursuer’ mean? Is it your term for ’White Mane’?”

“If your side cannot address the security threat, we can offer some assistance within our capabilities.”

“Why hasn’t Demon Child gone to support the other battlefield? Hurry up and order him over there!”

Some deliberately dragged their feet.

Some had outdated information, unable to see reality clearly.

Some wrapped malice in the sugar coating of kindness.

And some feigned ignorance, intentionally causing interference.

Perhaps, to describe them as “humans” would be inappropriate.

They are merely “creatures of interest,” driven by lowly desires and blinded by greed.

Some people ignore the knife at their throat because they are full of courage and unwavering in faith.

And some can do the same out of mere greed and stupidity.

To these people’s remarks, Ma Ran turned a deaf ear.

Just taking it as dogs barking madly.

The nauseating malice was almost turning into substance, rushing towards him.

If not for the vast difference in strength, some might have already started taking advantage of the situation.

Those who are not overly excessive, just note them on the blacklist for now, to be dealt with slowly later.

For the excessive ones…

After this matter is resolved, Ma Ran would take Little Walnut and perform some “delayed soul surgery” that currently exists only in theory, not only as a small punishment but also as targeted spiritual power and Enclosure Text training.

“Everyone, please remain calm and do not panic!”

President Huang Weiguo came outside the warning line, beginning to negotiate with representatives from various countries.

“The first wave of support has already arrived on the battlefield, and Mr. Zhang Kuang has just finished fighting and needs rest.”

“Moreover, as the current controller of Cangming Star, Mr. Zhang Kuang extending a helping hand is a favor we will remember well.”

“We stand on equal footing, supporting and helping each other; there is no concept of ’orders’ here.”

Someone, unwilling to give up, pretended to offer kind advice: “If Demon Child acts only when needed, it might be too late! Who knows how many will die then…”

Upon hearing this, Old Huang’s face showed a meaningful smile.

Distance of a hundred miles is nothing.

With Demon Child’s formidable strength, this distance could be crossed instantly, tearing through space, traversing the Netherworld with a single thought.

Moreover…

During this period, China’s extraordinary strength has been rapidly increasing overall, and with Ma Ran’s arrangements, perhaps they wouldn’t even need Demon Child’s assistance to deal with the enemy.

Ma Ran, unlike Old Huang, genuinely didn’t care about those somewhat scheming extraordinary representatives from various countries.

What he cared about was the Extremely Effective Monarch.

That guy is insidious and cunning, unscrupulous, a formidable opponent.

But…

The level the Extremely Effective Monarch has shown so far…

To be honest, is far below Ma Ran’s expectations.

…

Northwest of the Grass Hut Academy.

Under the fire support of the warriors in the rear, Wu Di, Wan Haihao, and Li Xing were fighting fiercely against dozens of Longevity Star People dressed in full-cover white protective clothing.

The supporting warriors were all sharpshooters, honed with countless bullets to achieve perfect accuracy. Though they had recently switched to using specially designed crossbows, their aim was still impeccable.

Every warrior present here had cultivated Inner Qi.

Their ranks weren’t high, but their reaction speed and dynamic vision far surpassed ordinary elites.

Smoke and gunpowder filled the air.

Plasma and flames rampaged.

In the highly intense battlefield, every second, someone fell.

Among them were both Longevity Star People and Earth Warriors.

However…

With their numerical advantage and prior preparation, the Earth Warriors quickly gained the upper hand.

Longevity Star People, once down, were swiftly shot into a pincushion, dying instantly.

But on Earth’s side, most warriors were merely injured, and whenever someone was about to suffer a fatal attack, the enemy’s assault would inexplicably veer off course.

This was Ma Ran’s handiwork.

War is inseparable from death.

Especially in the era of cosmic interstellar wars, it was even more so.

Not to mention just deaths, it’s not uncommon for entire civilizations to be wiped out completely.

But this time, things were different.

This time, Earth took the initiative to lay out a trap, an ambush to deal with the three Title Holders, marking the prelude to counterattacking the Eternal Civilization.

As the mastermind of the strategic plan, Ma Ran didn’t want anyone who trusted and fought for him to die.

From the very start, he imposed strict limits on the number of participants.

Keeping so many warriors merely injured and not dead was already the limit of Ma Ran’s current capabilities.

Heart power, energy, brain power…

The consumption was huge.

But in Ma Ran’s view, it was all worth it.

Those who could appear on this battlefield, regardless of gender, were all important!

Among them, some might become formidable powerhouses in the future, some might become Extraordinary Teachers, passing on precious experience, knowledge, and insights to more people.

“So intense!”

Wu Di slashed at the Longevity Star Man blocking his path with a single sword stroke.

Although breathing heavily, he refused to stop talking: “Ah Hao, no wonder you didn’t take me along last time.”

“With my skills back then, if I participated in the Lotus City Demon Mountain campaign, you guys would probably be visiting my grave next year…”

“This group is seriously not simple!”

“They’re much stronger than any before!”

“Aside from their bizarre card abilities, both their combat will and tactical acumen show no flaws.”

“They are elite!”

“But it doesn’t matter, I am stronger than them!”

As he spoke, Wu Di quickly dispatched two more seasoned Longevity Star People.

His movements agile, reactions sharp, with commendable combat intuition and talent.

In the life-and-death struggle, Wu Di’s Inner Qi circulated and thrived.

The once tricky and complicated Seven Vortex Swordsmanship became increasingly fluid.

Wan Haihao paid him no mind.

At this moment, the “Sword Master’s Direct Disciple” had sharp eyes, his sword moved like the wind, and Sword Qi enveloped him.

Amidst the constant slaughter, Wan Haihao seemed to be lost in his own world: “My sword is too slow! Too slow!”

“This won’t protect everyone!”

“Faster!”

“It must be faster!”

Watching the two cut through the enemy lines like ancient generals, Li Xing swallowed hard.

He thought himself brave enough, daring to act audaciously in front of aliens without knowing much.

Unexpectedly…

There is always a higher mountain.

Although Wu Di and Wan Haihao, the “veterans”, weren’t as dazzling as Martial God Su Qiangwei, battling two opponents in the sky, they each impacted Li Xing in their own way.

In Li Xing’s eyes, these two seniors hadn’t awakened any superpowers; their Inner Qi Cultivation or Seven Vortex Swordsmanship level wasn’t profoundly advanced.

And he, who had just awakened the “Extreme Cold” ability, probably wasn’t inferior in strength to these two.

“Go, Li Xing! What are you afraid of? Where is your passion? Where is your courage?”

Silently cheering himself on, Li Xing was about to charge into the enemy ranks to join Wu Di and Wan Haihao when a strange, intellectual woman’s voice suddenly resonated in his ear.

“President Huang Weiguo asked me to convey this to you.”

“Li Xing, you lack experience and need to observe and think more. Don’t act impulsively!”

The quality of the second batch of newcomers at the Grass Hut Academy was high, with many surprising Old Huang in terms of superpower awakening.

For instance, Qian Xixi, who awakened the “Rejection” power, was considered quite impressive among the Pillar Level Ability Users.

Li Xing might be the only one participating in this operation.

If there’s any reason…

Li Xing’s personal effort in developing his superpower talent was just a minor factor; the most significant was Ma Ran’s single sentence.

No explanation.

And none needed.

When the Prophet acts, why need reasons?

In President Huang Weiguo’s eyes, Ma Ran was steady and wouldn’t rashly make judgments based on personal preferences. Every arrangement he made had profound meaning.

“This voice… it must be Fulan Academy’s Pillar Level Unity Awakened, Liu Huadie?”

After hearing these words, Li Xing showed no expression.

He planned to pretend there was a signal problem and didn’t hear it.

But Liu Huadie’s voice once more resonated in his ear.

“Ma Ran said you definitely wouldn’t listen.”

“He asked me to tell you…”

Liu Huadie clearly couldn’t hear him; she continued in a calm tone: “You may join the battle.”

“Just provide control from the periphery.”

“Don’t plunge in and get killed.”
