Chapter 175: Tang San Confused, How Did Xu Ran Get Stronger Again?_1

The entire world, at that moment, became deadly silent.

All who witnessed the scene were looking at Xu Ran with shock, deeply shaken in their hearts.

Soto City wasn't a large city, and its city lord only had the "Cultivation Level" of a Soul Emperor. Here, a Soul Elder "Cultivation Level" wasn't particularly strong, but it certainly wasn't weak either.

And a force comprised of a group of Soul Elders was even less likely to be weak.

But what did they see now? Six Soul Elders had been killed in an instant.

This indicated that the strength of the youth before them not only surpassed that of a Soul Elder, but far exceeded it.

To be capable of instantly killing so many Soul Elders, just who was this black-robed young man?

The noble young master who had been yelling about teaching Xu Ran a lesson stood with a vacant look in his eyes, disbelievingly watching Xu Ran and then, with a thud, fell to his knees.

He was trembling all over, all those powerful Soul Elders that had been guarding him were killed by the person before him.

This scene terrified him into a stupor.

Where had he ever seen such a person in Soto City before? Even if there were some very powerful experts, they were usually quite old. He thought that because Xu Ran was young, he wouldn't be very strong, and that's why he dared to be so presumptuous against him. But where could he have imagined he would be this powerful?

"Please, spare me."

"I was wrong; I'll never harass your woman again."

The voice of the noble young master was somewhat hoarse as he watched Xu Ran, who was walking towards him with his sword, looking like a Killing God, which scared him out of his wits.

His pleas for mercy startled everyone present.

A multitude of astonished voices arose.

"This person, looking so young, actually killed so many Soul Elders?"

"This can't be possible!!!"

"I must be dreaming. Those were Soul Elders, and they were instantly killed. Moreover, the person who killed them is such a young man."

Everyone exclaimed in astonishment, looking at Xu Ran's young and handsome appearance, utterly shocked.

They could tell that this black-robed youth wasn't very old. Being so intimate with those three beautiful young ladies, they might be close in age. If that was really the case, how strong must this youth's talent be?

Countless people were pondering in their hearts, inevitably coming to a conclusion that this youth before them was probably a peerless genius who could hold his own anywhere on the entire Continent.

Too terrifying…

Without using "soul skills", a few casual sword strikes had wiped out several Soul Elders. At the very least, he must possess the strength of a Soul King or higher.

Such a powerful Xu Ran left everyone present dumbfounded. When did Soto City have such a genius?

On the other hand, the noble young master was so frightened that he turned deathly pale, unable to speak clearly.

"No... please!"

"Spare my life!"

The young nobleman knelt directly on the ground, continuously kowtowing.

"Too late," Xu Ran said indifferently. As a man, he naturally understood what the look in that person's eyes had meant before.

Xu Ran glanced at Zhu Zhucin and the others, and the three women, understanding his intent, closed their eyes and left the area, no longer witnessing the bloody scene.

It was their first time seeing Xu Ran kill someone, but looking at the corpses on the ground, they didn't feel the slightest urge to vomit. Instead, they felt a trace of blissful joy in their hearts. They knew why Xu Ran harbored such intense killing intent.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing and the others had walked far away, Xu Ran casually swung his sword, and the young nobleman's head fell to the ground.

What goes around comes around eventually.

There are always people in the world who are beyond your reach, and there are always higher skies beyond the sky you see. It's just a pity that these people won't understand this until the moment they're facing death.

"So strong. Xu Ran has become even stronger."

In a corner, Tang San watched this scene, his gaze unsettlingly cold.

His heart was filled with intense hatred and murderous intent. Why could Xu Ran return unscathed after being away for so long, and even appear stronger? Why?

Hadn't he faced an accident last time?

Now that Xu Ran was so strong, what could Tang San use to compete with him?

Tang San clenched his fists, watching Xu Ran's retreating figure with resentment.

"If I could cultivate the 'Guanyin Tears' hidden weapon, Xu Ran, you would only have your bitterness to swallow," Tang San muttered, a glimmer of spirit returning to his eyes. No matter how strong Xu Ran was, his future had limits.

Once his "Cultivation Level" reached the limit of this world, it would no longer increase.

But Tang San, carrying with him Tang Sect's Treasure, had a potential that far exceeded such limits. Once his and Xu Ran's "Cultivation Levels" were on the same starting line, and he could use the top three Tang Sect hidden weapons, what would Xu Ran amount to then?

"Xu Ran, no matter how much you have calculated, you probably couldn't anticipate that I don't belong to this world. Even if you are stronger than me now, what of it? You can see the end of your future, but my potential is limitless," Tang San said with a hint of a smile. If it weren't for Tang Sect's Treasure, he suspected he'd have no way to deal with Xu Ran in this lifetime.

"However, I need to keep an eye on Xu Ran. Otherwise, who knows what kind of insane things he might do to Xiaowu," Tang San's gaze turned chilly as he watched the direction Xu Ran and the girls had taken and followed them directly.

Xu Ran was despicable, shameless, and lascivious by nature. It was fortunate he'd been vigilant, or Xiaowu might have already suffered at Xu Ran's vile hands.

"When I grow stronger in the future, I can have Xiaowu, pure and untouched. For now, she has only been embraced by Xu Ran but hasn't been subjected to his excesses. Once I kill Xu Ran, not only Xiaowu but all his women will be mine. Then I can have him taste what it's like," Tang San thought resentfully.

...

Of course, Xu Ran was aware of Tang San early on.

But the current Tang San was too weak in his eyes, and Tang San could only keep showing off aimlessly.

"Were you scared just now?" Xu Ran walked shoulder to shoulder with the three women and asked directly. He knew that Zhu Qing and the others might have seen such a bloody scene for the first time. In the original story, when they annihilated the Ferocious God Team and saw those corpses, they vomited for a long time.

"No, they all deserved to die," Zhu Qing said, pouting slightly, somewhat clingingly holding Xu Ran's hand. Her body had developed nicely, and it was because of this that she often attracted unnecessary trouble. The deaths today would make those people think twice about coveting them.

"Right, they all deserved death. In the future, if someone harasses you, tell me directly," Xu Ran said, caressing Zhu Qing's slender and lush waist with earnestness.

The women by his side, Zhu Qing, Xiaowu, and Ning Rongrong, were all stunning, naturally drawing countless people's attention. But if someone dared to target them, even contemplating doing that sort of thing to them, Xu Ran had only one solution—death.
