Chapter 299: Chapter 297: Seizing by Cunning and Force! The Mercy of Not Killing! Cultivation Land!

Ogata Shitou didn’t know how much time had passed before he gradually came back to his senses.

His gaze fell on the person not far away.

Wearing a pure purple suit, leather shoes, and after killing someone, he casually reached back to fix his slightly long hair at the back of his head.

This outfit, paired with the freshly styled slicked-back hair…

If not for witnessing the other’s transformation with his own eyes, Ogata Shitou might not believe it even if someone told him that the person before him was Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan from Cangming Star.

In the blink of an eye, the other not only changed appearance.

The most crucial change was the demeanor!

The otherworldly and out-of-place ethereal aura, distinct from Earthlings, vanished without a trace, replaced by the aura of a business elite, a successful corporate figure.

Efficient, refined, with a hint of mild superiority.

If there’s anything incongruous, it’s probably those crimson eyes and purple-black hair.

However, this is easily explained.

Colored contact lenses and hair dye are no longer novelties in the 21st century.

Even elderly people often dye their hair pure black to look younger.

Gulp…

Ogata Shitou’s gaze wavered slightly over the remnants on the ground, his Adam’s apple moving as he swallowed, his heart pounding furiously.

The move the other just demonstrated…

He couldn’t withstand it!

Even his three strongest shikigami, standing in front, wouldn’t fare much better than Tabuchi Hiromu.

In a flash, Ogata Shitou broke into a cold sweat, his left index finger, middle finger, and ring finger trembling slightly.

The next second, the three shikigami guarding him vanished without a trace.

“It was my fault earlier, Lord Profound Immortal. A powerhouse like you, if truly intending to kill me, I would have little ability to resist with my current strength.”

Ogata Shitou smiled wryly, bowing deeply: “Thank you for your magnanimity.”

And for sparing my life.

Upon careful thought, Ogata Shitou realized that the other seemed wanton, even giving a whimsical reason for the killing.

But in reality…

The strong have the capital to be willful.

Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan indeed doesn’t need a reason to kill.

As long as he can handle the ensuing “crisis”.

In Ogata Shitou’s view, the A+ Level Superpower User who just died, his mental remains haven’t fully disappeared yet, rapidly dissipating over time.

He really wanted to make Tabuchi Hiromu into a shikigami.

If he truly made that guy into a shikigami, he’d gain a powerful card.

However…

Ogata Shitou knew he couldn’t do that.

If he turned Tabuchi Hiromu into a shikigami, he would face accusations and inquiries from the Tabuchi Clan, hassles greater than the benefits.

So Ogata Shitou could only watch in agony as those mental remnants dissipated bit by bit.

He could confirm that Tabuchi Hiromu, killed by one move just now, was very strong!

His ability had the “combat super enhancement” attribute, extremely suitable for battle, growing stronger against strong opponents, though its upper limit was locked; even if Ogata Shitou attacked personally, it’d take more than twenty rounds to take him down.

But the problem is, Zhao Guanlan is even stronger!

Moreover, they are not on the same level!

Profound Immortal…

Truly terrifying to the extreme!

Ogata Shitou observed the other’s expression discreetly, noting only a calm demeanor on that person’s face, as if nothing had been done.

Guilt, remorse after killing?

Sorry!

Absolutely none!

Not to mention he’s from Cangming Star, and it was an Earthling who died by his hand; they are not even of the same race. Even if they were the same race, so what?

If the “inner voice” overheard in a dream was correct, this Profound Immortal before him was a man who had fraudulently stolen one day’s life span from everyone on Cangming Star!

Would such a person have a moral sense?

Utterly laughable!

Ogata Shitou focused on the most critical part.

Earlier, when Tabuchi Hiromu arrived, he only said two sentences without any sign of action, yet this “Profound Immortal” without hesitation or delay, instantly struck to kill!

Tabuchi Hiromu was merely making a verbal threat, and Zhao Guanlan, without a second thought, decisively summoned thunder, blasting the opponent to pieces, eradicating his divine soul.

The means were so merciless, so fierce, it was chilling to the core!

Similarly from Cangming Star…

This self-proclaimed “Profound Immortal” Mr. Zhao Guanlan is even colder, more ruthless, and more reckless than the Demon Child and Sword Master!

This wanton behavior, does he really think he’s invincible?

But…

If everything in the dream was indeed real information, it seems…

The entire Japan really has no way to deal with such a guy.

“This little guy just now had the qualification to be my dog.”

Ma Ran looked at Ogata Shitou with a faint smile, then his gaze fell on the mental residues of Tabuchi Hiromu, lightly blew, erasing the last trace of the soul from the world.

“It’s a pity, his attitude wasn’t respectful enough, and he didn’t know how to read the room.”

“A disobedient dog…”

“Doesn’t deserve to live.”

These words made Ogata Shitou break into a cold sweat.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how Tabuchi Hiromu’s mental fragments were blown away by the other in one breath.

This ability…

Is simply the nemesis and ultimate bane of a Yin Yang Master!

It’s too targeted!

In front of this cold man, he had no qualification to express any opinions.

Seeing the silent Ogata Shitou, Ma Ran suddenly chuckled softly.

“After regaining intelligence, I set a small goal for myself.”

“That is—to become the sole master of this island.”

At this point, Ma Ran’s smile grew even brighter, his tone gentle, like a spring breeze, as if without the slightest malice: “We cultivators ultimately cannot avoid the four essentials of wealth, companionship, methods, and land.”

“Though Earth might be resource-poor, the wise race thrives, and the ’Heavenly Dao’ is gradually reviving, making the environment better than my last law-ending era.”

“So…”

Ma Ran raised his hand, drawing a circle neurotically in the air: “I plan to spend some time conquering this island, extracting all its resources to make it serve as my further cultivation land.”

With the ability to [play], Ma Ran is different from other Extraordinary Ones, needing no resources for cultivation and progress.

However…

In future plans, subsequent stages require massive resources to launch projects.

Moreover, after extensive plundering and exploitation of resources, grievances will rise in the Japanese Extraordinary Realm, and with time, people worldwide will gradually learn of a tyrant named “Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan” who consumed vast resources, draining a nation for self-benefit.

By then…

The [play] ability will also give feedback!

The extraordinary ability of [play] has never restricted Ma Ran’s alignment.

Apart from chaotic good alignments like Sword Master Lin Qiubai and Demon Child Zhang Kuang, roles like the chaotic evil Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan are entirely feasible!

Collecting his thoughts, Ma Ran placed his hands in his pockets, took two steps forward, looking down at Ogata Shitou, the warmth vanished from his expression.

At that moment, his handsome face bore a coldness, his eyes sharp as knives.

A cold indifferent gaze, seeming to slice through the heart.

The chilling tone aimed to freeze Ogata Shitou’s thoughts as well.

“I’m different from the Sword Master or Demon Child, I have no nostalgia for Cangming Star.”

“For a considerable period, I will stay on Earth.”

“Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years…”

“All possible.”

“So…”

“Be my subordinate, help me manage this island, and you will receive enough benefits, without worrying about the master suddenly ’vanishing’.”
