Chapter 1211: Instantaneous Kill of a Dou Sheng_1

"Great Elder, Elder Xu Ran should not be in the academy right now."

"He really went. I never expected him to draw out such a powerful Soul Hall expert." Su Qian looked at the phenomenon in the sky, shocked beyond measure. This was far beyond the comprehension of a Dou Zong.

"I need to go take a look. Elder Xu Ran is now one of us at Canaan Academy, even if I can't help him, I can't completely ignore the situation," Su Qian said with seriousness. Since Xu Ran was part of Canaan Academy, he couldn't just stand by idly.

"What? What does this have to do with Xu Ran?" Zi Yan had emerged at some point, unknown to the others. Her cultivation level had improved several ranks compared to before, all thanks to Xu Ran's elixirs.

"Zi Yan, how did you get here?"

"What? Is there a problem? I just want to know what happened to Xu Ran. Seeing how anxious you are, he must be in danger, right?" Zi Yan suddenly became nervous.

She knew the difference between being fully satiated after a meal and just barely getting enough to eat.

If something happened to Xu Ran, where else would she find such a generous source of elixirs?

Not even Canaan Academy could afford her, let alone other forces.

But Xu Ran was an exception.

"Xu Ran indeed encountered some trouble, but I believe that he should be able to resolve it. He has always been so confident; he absolutely can't be in trouble," Su Qian said, although he was worried, he was actually very confident in Xu Ran's chances of survival.

However, with Xu Ran in trouble, he, as the Great Elder, could not stand idly by. If he backed down now, he would also be too ashamed to ask Xu Ran for help with the academy's internal matters afterward.

"Then I'm going too. I'll go ahead first. I want to see what's really going on with that guy." As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, she disappeared from sight.

Her mastery of space power was so profound that even compared to Su Qian, the difference was not substantial.

"This girl, you!" Su Qian was taken aback and hastily followed after her.

…

"What about it? It's not too late for you to beg for mercy now. Once I make my move, you may not have the chance to regret it," Gu You said, looking down on Xu Ran from above. His power at the Half-Saint Peak had been elevated to the extreme, with the aura emanating from him causing the fabric of space to tremble, as if space itself couldn't bear such terrifying strength.

"Just a Semi-Saint. I thought with all your bluster, you had already achieved sainthood," Xu Ran retorted disdainfully.

"A mere Semi-Saint dares to be so arrogant in front of me?" Xu Ran scoffed.

"So, you're a mere Semi-Saint, huh? Well, I'll show you just how 'mere' I am." Clenching his fists tightly, countless streams of Dou Qi converged and he teleported towards Xu Ran.

Fixing his gaze on Xu Ran, his heart filled with a brutal desire.

Semi-Saint! That was a thorn in his heart!

A mere Semi-Saint?

What counted Xu Ran as?

Wait...

Panic flickered through his blood-red eyes as Xu Ran, who had previously been within his line of sight, suddenly vanished before him.

This...

Gu You's mind instantly cooled, an ominous feeling making him somewhat at a loss.

He had Xu Ran locked down, so why had Xu Ran disappeared? Furthermore, his soul power couldn't sense Xu Ran's presence at all. Where had Xu Ran gone?

"Is this the best you can do? Too slow," Xu Ran mocked, standing in mid-air.

Even to a Semi-Saint, in Xu Ran's eyes, they were like children, as slow as snails.

"You, how did you do that? What exactly is your cultivation level?" Gu You was somewhat panicked. Just now, if Xu Ran had attacked him with a force no less than his own, he feared he would have already...

"Gu You, come back, you're no match for him, none of us are," the Great Celestial Venerable said, also watching Xu Ran with fear. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented pressure emanating from Xu Ran.

In the past, he only felt that way when facing the Clan Leader.

And... that powerful aura now seems even stronger than the Clan Leader.

This... truly is a monster!

He was certain that Xu Ran's strength far exceeded his, even possibly at the level of a Three Star or Four Star Dou Sheng.

Only an expert of this caliber could give him such a feeling.

"How is that possible?"

Gu You couldn't believe that the Great Celestial Venerable would say such a thing. Since when had the Soul Hall Experts ever shown fear? They were all worthy Soul Elders, elites without a doubt. He was a Semi-Saint, but the Great Celestial Venerable was an even longer-standing Dou Sheng Expert.

Even the Great Celestial Venerable is no match?

"Not good." Just as Gu You had made plans to flee for his life, a severe pain coursed through his body.

"Thinking of running? But that won't be so easy. On this continent, no one should be able to escape from my hands,"

"Second Celestial Venerable, you're nothing special after all."

Xu Ran held a sword condensed from pure Dou Qi, thrusting it through Gu You's heart and piercing his body.

His flesh and even his soul were completely bereft of life in an instant, shredded by the Sword Qi.

The blood of the Second Celestial Venerable continuously fell from the sky, dropping onto the ground, the energy within the blood exploding out rapidly.

The Second Celestial Venerable, one of the most important figures of Soul Hall, had died so quickly.

It was a matter of seconds from start to finish, and the Second Celestial Venerable hadn't even had the chance to fight back before he was dead.

Before Xu Ran, the Second Celestial Venerable had no power to fight back, just like a child.

"Xu Ran... what a terrifying Xu Ran..."

Han Feng watched Xu Ran in horror, the hair on the back of his neck standing on end.

A Semi-Saint Expert was instantly killed by Xu Ran?

And he had foolishly thought to find an opportunity to escape from Xu Ran's clutches? Wasn't that courting death?

A Semi-Saint, who could easily annihilate any Douzong or Dou Zun Expert. If such a powerful being could die, wouldn't it be effortless for Xu Ran to kill him?

"Not good."

The Great Celestial Venerable's pupils shrank, and he fled in a frenzy.

Now he was fully convinced that he was no match for Xu Ran.

The ease with which Xu Ran killed Gu You was so frightening that it scared him.

Xu Ran didn't appear to have any murderous or malevolent aura, but often, it was such people who were the most terrifying.

"Spatial seal."

With a light cry from Xu Ran, the space within a hundred miles was completely sealed by him. No one could use space power in these areas.

"Great Celestial Venerable, don't be so eager to leave. Didn't you say you wanted to find me to become the Ninth Celestial Venerable of your Soul Hall?" Xu Ran teleported in front of the Great Celestial Venerable, grabbed his neck with one hand, holding him up like a chicken.

"I, I was wrong."

"Could you spare my life, sir? Just give me a few minutes," the Great Celestial Venerable uttered in panic, finding that he could not even control his own body. Being bound to this extent meant that Xu Ran's mastery of space power was probably at its pinnacle.

How could a Dou Sheng be suppressed so miserably? Who would believe it if it were spoken of?

Could it be that Xu Ran had already attained the pinnacle of strength on the continent? A Nine-Star Dou Sheng?

He just wanted to rush to convey this message to Soul Hall at once; Soul Hall must not provoke Xu Ran anymore. Otherwise, the hundred-year foundation of Soul Hall might collapse.

"Sorry, I don't have that habit. You're destined to die," said Xu Ran as he exerted force in his palm, directly snapping the Great Celestial Venerable's neck.
