The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Faster speed, sharper reaction.

Gu Ran appeared in front of Xue Yingsong like lightning and slashed at him with his sword.

Xue Yingsong's gaze sharpened as he dodged the sword strike.

He barely managed to dodge, and was still struck in half by Gu Ran's sword.

An incredibly violent surge of psychic energy rushed into his body, seemingly intent on tearing it to shreds!

Gu Ran, seizing the advantage, pressed his advantage and countered with a swift sword strike.

If Xue Yingsong were to be struck by Gu Ran's sword, his body would be cleaved in two.

Then, unparalleled psychic power will cover the wound, further tearing it apart and even causing devastating damage!

This situation was caused by Gu Ran unleashing all his power.

Xue Yingsong sensed this, and instead of being flustered, he was pleased.

Head-on confrontation?

He's not afraid.

He possesses the power to absorb the strength of the warriors and superhumans who died in Canglong City through the Touch of Rules, and is so powerful that he is not afraid to face anyone head-on.

As long as he can weather Gu Ran's outburst, victory will be his.

He stepped back a few paces, creating a little distance to buy himself some more time.

Xue Yingsong immediately began to gather more power.

Seeing Xue Yingsong's actions, Gu Ran knew his plan had succeeded, so he slowed down a bit.

271. Xue Yingsong's death! Xue Xiling faints! 4.1k

The snow-covered pine trees gather strength.

For him, power is power, and whatever its source may be, it is merely a tool to achieve his goals.

This is why he was able to choose to integrate into the world's rules and borrow their power, and also why he was able to use the power of the warriors and superhumans who had died in Canglong City without any guilt.

The power absorbed through the Touch of Rules is extremely pure.

Xue Yingsong could sense that this power was even purer than that of the Pure Star Stone.

If even the purest starstones have to worry about being contaminated, then these powers don't have this problem at all.

Unfortunately, he was neither a martial artist nor a superhuman, so he could not use this power to strengthen himself.

Those who use telekinesis can enhance their strength through two methods: the natural growth of their talent and meditation.

To utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one must use external objects.

However, Xue Yingsong wasn't particularly concerned about increasing his own strength.

No matter how strong he is, he will eventually abandon him.

Because no matter how strong one's strength is, it is only "external" strength.

What he seeks is a power that originates from the source, a power that can change one's destiny.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Xue Yingsong let this unparalleled power flow into his body.

Even with his physical strength, he couldn't withstand such powerful force for an extended period of time.

He can only withstand such immense power for a short time; soon after, his body will be completely ruined.

But Xue Yingsong felt it was all worth it.

Various thoughts raced through Xue Yingsong's mind. It was a slow process to describe, but everything happened in the blink of an eye.

In just a moment, the power of all the dead martial artists and superhumans in Canglong City was gathered into Xue Yingsong through the Touch of Rules!

An incomparably powerful aura emanated from Xue Yingsong.

At this moment, Xue Yingsong transformed into a humanoid natural disaster, seemingly becoming the master of this land.

This was the power Xue Yingsong gained at the cost of his own body being completely destroyed, the power he believed was enough to kill Gu Ran!

This power was so immense that even the other conscious and still-alive powerhouses in Azure Dragon City could clearly feel it.

They looked up at the sky.

"My God, that's Principal Xue!?"

"Principal Xue is so powerful?! That's wonderful, Azure Dragon City is saved!"

"But who is the enemy of Principal Xue? To be able to push Principal Xue to this extent, this is a strength that Principal Xue has never shown before."

For many people, Xue Yingsong is just a scholar-type leader.

Many people were quite surprised by his formidable strength.

But after the initial surprise came joy.

The stronger Xue Yingsong's strength is, the more beneficial it will be for Canglong City.

After having a powerful prospective ruler like Gu Ran, they discovered that they also had a powerful incumbent ruler.

This is nothing short of a surprise, especially given the current situation of an extraterrestrial invasion.

But then, a questioning voice shattered their illusions.

"The person who fought Principal Xue... seems to be Consultant Gu Ran... really?"

The voice spoke haltingly.

"Advisor Gu Ran? You must be mistaken. Everyone knows that Advisor Gu Ran is Principal Xue's designated successor. No matter who Principal Xue's enemy is, it could never be Advisor Gu Ran—"

The speaker abruptly stopped.

"Someone must be impersonating Principal Xue or Advisor Gu Ran... How could the two of them possibly fight?"

The scene of Gu Ran and Xue Yingsong fighting shocked many people's perceptions.

In their minds, no matter who fights with whom, it can never be Xue Yingsong and Gu Ran.

But what they were seeing now was indeed Xue Yingsong and Gu Ran fighting.

Everyone realized that if what they saw was true, then Azure Dragon City was about to undergo a dramatic change.

No, that's not right, things have changed.

The arrival of the Star Stone aliens has profoundly affected Azure Dragon City.

Even if these Star Stone aliens could be completely eliminated immediately, the changes they brought about could not be reversed.

Many people are caught in a state of unease and fear about the future.

This is only because they know that Gu Ran and Xue Yingsong fought. If they knew the real reason why Gu Ran and Xue Yingsong fought, the existing powerful figures would probably be even more uneasy and fearful.

"With Principal Xue's immense strength, she'll surely be able to eliminate these monsters very quickly."

Some people still have wild fantasies and unrealistic dreams.

No one else agreed or echoed this idea, because they had all more or less sensed that things were not so simple.

......

Outside the light screen.

Xue Yingsong's actions silenced the entire audience.

Was Xue Yingsong actually the one who wanted to destroy Canglong City and cause a great upheaval in it?

How can this be?

Their first reaction was disbelief.

The evidence supporting their disbelief is actually quite substantial.

That's such a big thing, how come they don't remember?

"It's impossible that all of us powerful individuals have been affected by the abilities of psychic beings and had our memories sealed, right?"

For them, the answer is naturally no.

Even setting aside their formidable strength, it would be incredibly difficult for any of the powerful individuals present to unleash their memory-sealing mental abilities on any one of them.

Moreover, there are so many powerful individuals present.

To perfectly unleash a psychic ability on so many powerful individuals and keep them from noticing anything amiss for so many years—no psychic ability user could do that.

But looking at the screen, they inexplicably didn't mock Gu Ran.

Even if they didn't want to believe it was true, they had to admit that Gu Ran might indeed give them a "surprise".

Everyone watched the screen silently, waiting for the truth to emerge.

......

Although Xue Yingsong's charged attack was incredibly powerful, it actually didn't take long to prepare.

Because the pre-cast time for gathering power had already been completed in the previous battle.

Now, in just a few breaths, Xue Yingsong can unleash his full power in a single, charged attack.
