Chapter 999: The Tragic Xiao Huohuo_1

Galeo looked at Xu Ran, his eyes carrying a smear of disdain.

He didn't believe Xu Ran would be strong; Xu Ran was nothing more than a good-looking man.

To someone like Galeo, Xu Ran naturally wouldn't take him seriously. Xu Ran just glanced at him indifferently and extended a finger to point forward.

Galeo's advancing body suddenly became rigid.

Galeo's eyes widened with a touch of horror as he looked at Xu Ran. Goosebumps erupted all over his body, and he felt a tingling sensation like needles pricking his scalp.

What was going on?

He wanted to continue charging at Xu Ran, but he couldn't control his own movements, as if the space around him had been sealed off.

"Space power," Xun Er said with a solemn look on her face. Dou Zong experts could initially control space power, and at this stage, they could fly in the air without relying on Dou Qi Hua Yi. Dou Zun experts were even more powerful, capable of creating Spatial Wormholes.

This move alone was enough to show that Xu Ran was at least a Dou Zong expert! This made Xun Er take a few more glances at Xu Ran.

Even in Zhongzhou, young Dou Zong talents were actually not that common. Zhongzhou was so big, with so many strong forces, yet there were only so many talents. Divided among each force, such talents could already be considered elite.

And he could tell that Xu Ran's skillful methods were probably not just that of an ordinary Dou Zong; at the very least, he had reached the higher levels of a Dou Zong.

"Who on earth are you?"

"Why are you so strong?"

"How is it possible? Even my father isn't that strong," Galeo blurted out.

At this moment, he finally realized that Xu Ran was a strong figure!

No wonder Xu Ran had gained Xun Er's favor; Xu Ran was indeed terrifying.

Without any visible movement from Xu Ran, he controlled his actions, rendering him unable to move even an inch.

If Xu Ran wanted to kill him, wouldn't it be effortless?

Thinking of this, Galeo broke out in a cold sweat; he didn't want to die.

"Too late."

"But since Xun Er said to spare your life, I'll spare it," Xu Ran said.

After he finished speaking, a sonic boom sounded, and Galeo's arms exploded into a mist of blood.

And his followers behind him also turned into a puddle of blood at this moment.

This scene shocked everyone.

They had seen powerful figures take action in Wu Tan City, but they had never witnessed such a terrifying and effortless way of attack.

This was a ruthless person!

Countless people began to vomit, looking at Xu Ran with fear in their eyes.

And Galeo's screams at this moment were even more hair-raising.

Seeing Galeo in such a miserable state, everyone felt frightened. The Galeo of the past in Wu Tan City was quite a tyrant, having harmed so many people. But everyone was too intimidated to speak out, and now Xu Ran had made such a spectacle out of Galeo. For a person with Galeo's background, this was truly worse than death!

Xun Er went pale, too. Although she was born into a major family and had seen many grand scenes, this was the first time she had witnessed such a bloody sight up close. Xu Ran's indifferent attitude towards taking another's life without a hint of mercy contrasted sharply with his earlier image.

She had never thought that Xu Ran had such a side.

This murderous demeanor made Xun Er's heart tremble; although it appeared cold and ruthless, it was filled with allure.

"Xu Ran, don't you think you're too cruel?"

Xun Er's face was pale, and she retched on the side, her gaze towards Xu Ran changing.

"Cruel? I never claimed to be a good person."

"Do you think the clan behind you achieved today's status without violence and killing? Your Gu Clan has probably killed far more people than I." Xu Ran said leisurely.

"Moreover, I only kill those who deserve it. Some creatures that don't know their place are better off dead," Xu Ran stated indifferently. He was certainly not a pushover.

"You! Heartless!" Xun Er could not help but utter as she looked at Xu Ran. Though she said this, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xu Ran, her heart beating rapidly.

Xiao Yan used to be so spirited, but in recent years, he could only be bullied.

Xiao Yan lacked the tyrannical aura that Xu Ran possessed.

"From now on, no one will dare covet your beauty. I'll destroy everyone who tries," Xu Ran declared domineeringly, pulling Xun Er into his arms. Xu Ran's way of speaking obviously attracted Xun Er, and for a moment, she was so mesmerized that she forgot to reject his embrace.

Xun Er didn't know why, but if anyone else did these things or said these words to her, she would definitely hate it. However, hearing them from Xu Ran's mouth made them delightful.

"Humph. You dare? Do you want to doom me to a lonely life?" Xun Er said, giving Xu Ran a sidelong glance.

"When the time comes, I will marry you," Xu Ran said seriously, as he playfully tousled Xun Er's soft hair.

"Who knows if you're speaking the truth or just lying? You're just a lecher; if you meet someone better, you might just like someone else," Xun Er rolled her eyes and said with amusement.

Although Xu Ran was mysterious, Xun Er had long discerned his lascivious nature.

"If you're confident, you can tie me down, and I will then stay by your side forever," Xu Ran said with a smile.

Xun Er pursed her lips and in the end, said nothing more.

Xu Ran was outstanding, but she didn't know why she had suddenly taken a liking to him.

"Let's head back,"

Xun Er said softly, looking down at her beautiful legs.

Her heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what she wanted.

But she hadn't expected that in the short time she had spent with Xu Ran, she would, for that period, forget about Xiao Yan. She had been heartbroken and in pain, but once Xu Ran appeared, he had captured all her attention and she had forgotten about her troubles.

Now that she recalled those heartbreaking moments, she didn't feel as bad as before, as if they weren't as terrible as she had imagined.

Perhaps Xiao Yan was just a passerby in her life.

"Let's go," Xu Ran said, taking Xun Er's hand and walking toward the Xiao Family. People around them, fearing to provoke Xu Ran, quickly made way. As for Galeo, he had already passed out from the pain at this moment.

He would no longer have the ability he once had. Not only did Xu Ran cripple his arms, but he also disabled his "function." Xu Ran wasn't afraid of retaliation from others; if a minor clan still didn't know their place, he wouldn't hesitate to eradicate them.

"That's terrifying. This time Galeo really hit a steel plate. Who knows if the Gale Family will take revenge on him."

"But Galeo got what he deserved."

...

Xiao Family.

At this moment, Xiao Yan had already consumed the elixirs.

He had been eagerly anticipating the restoration of his talents, ready to avenge his past humiliations and embark on his path of glory. However, to his dismay, the damn elixir had no effect whatsoever.

No!

Not only did his "Cultivation Level" not improve at all, but it also plummeted straight down to the Dou Qi First Stage! His Dou Qi became frighteningly scarce!
