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

Gu Ran didn't actually have any special sword skills, because he had never learned them before, let alone studied them.

Because there is absolutely no need.

Whether it's his spatial abilities, his monstrous physique, or his later telekinesis, they are all enough for him to overcome the various difficulties he encounters.

However, his strength has been severely weakened, and he can only rely on the sword in his hand to enhance his strength as much as possible. He must do his best within the limited conditions.

So he began to study sword techniques.

He didn't even call what he was studying swordsmanship.

Because this is not a valid method at all; it is merely a result of his research on how to make his sword more lethal.

Actually, he hadn't been researching for long. Just a dozen minutes ago, he realized that killing the aliens this way wasn't working; it was too slow. Even if he killed until he was exhausted, he might not be able to kill them all. So he started researching how to use his sword more efficiently to enhance his attack power and how to kill the aliens better.

But to his surprise, he had only been studying it for a short while when he seemed to have made a small breakthrough.

Specifically, he previously simply swung his sword, cutting down wherever there were many alien species.

But now, this sword seems to have developed an inexplicable tacit understanding with him, and he can deeply perceive every pattern on the sword.

His eyes seemed to be fixed on the sword, and through its perspective, he could clearly see a dense network of "lines" between the alien species.

He only needs to sever the areas with the most and densest "lines" to inflict maximum damage on these alien species.

It not only saves effort, but also makes the killing more efficient.

Even without using his telekinetic powers, he could completely close his eyes, his figure as light as a willow catkin, drifting in the wind.

Wherever they drift, they leave behind a trail of death and destruction for the alien species.

Those below also noticed Gu Ran's state, and many were even stunned, almost forgetting that they were in a battle.

Although they did not know the true meaning of martial arts, they could sense the extraordinary nature of Gu Ran's current state, and they could also feel the increase in the number of alien species Gu Ran killed and the speed at which he killed them.

This greatly boosted their morale.

The mecha trainees were genuinely happy.

I'm sure Teacher Gu Ran was right!

The others who rushed to Lanxin University to kill the aliens were also happy, because the stronger Gu Ran was, the greater their chances of successfully surviving this alien crisis.

Lanxin University and Canglong City thus have a greater chance of being saved.

The alien insect species in the sky are disappearing at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye.

After comprehending the sword intent, Gu Ran's efficiency in killing enemies has surpassed that of when he used his mental power to wield the sword.

It seems that this crisis is about to pass.

Cheng Youmeng, standing outside the screen, frowned slightly.

"Could my guess be wrong...?"

288. The powerful figures of Azure Dragon City remain silent! Lilith has vanished without a trace?! 4k

Cheng Youmeng was so focused on Gu Houhou's subsequent memory scenes because she desperately wanted to know information about her sister.

Because of the blood sacrifice ritual, the elder sister became the spirit of the sword, allowing the sword's power to be elevated to another level.

At first, she thought that Gu Ran was simply pursuing an improvement in martial arts combat power, and therefore cruelly sacrificed her sister.

However, after seeing the memories of Gu Ran and her sister, she changed her mind.

Gu Ran's relationship with her sister was not as simple as she imagined... Gu Ran was not such a heartless person—at least in the memories she had seen so far, Gu Ran was not that heartless.

So what exactly was Gu Ran's reason for performing a blood sacrifice on her sister?

After changing her mind, Cheng Youmeng unconsciously had a guess.

Is there a compelling reason why Gu Ran did this, such as to resolve the extraterrestrial crisis and save Canglong City?

If that's truly the reason, Cheng Youmeng will certainly not forgive Gu Ran, nor will she give up her idea of ​​revenge.

But in her heart... she might also have a little more understanding of Gu Ran.

However, in the light screen, Gu Ran had already almost resolved the extraterrestrial crisis, and he did so entirely on his own. Nothing that she had guessed happened during the entire process.

This means that Gu Ran's reason for sacrificing her sister's blood was not because of this...

Cheng Youmeng didn't know how she felt either.

There seemed to be a hint of disappointment, because Gu Ran was still the mortal enemy in her heart.

She seemed to feel a sense of relief, also because Gu Ran was still her mortal enemy.

This psychological torment tormented Cheng Youmeng, making her slightly dazed and her face turn slightly pale.

If a powerful individual of the same level as Cheng Youmeng were to ambush her at this moment, they would certainly succeed.

However, this state of losing focus only lasted for a short while. After all, Cheng Youmeng had been a martial arts master for many years, and she quickly recovered.

She silently continued watching the screen.

What was the truth back then?

......

In the light screen.

The number of insect species around Gu Ran dwindled until only a dozen or so of the strongest remained.

These dozen or so insect mutants are not only powerful, but also seem to possess a certain level of intelligence, unlike other insect mutants that act solely on instinct.

Suddenly, Gu Ran regained some of his mental power and sensed a thought that was conveying some meaning to him.

"...Aren't you...one of us?...Why...why did you do this?...?"

The emotion expressed by that thought was simply confusion, without any anger at the killing of "comrades".

Gu Ran's movements suddenly froze.

Am I one of them?

? !

Gu Ran was startled.

But then he realized something was amiss.

How could he possibly be one of the extraterrestrials?

Gu Ran frowned as he scanned the remaining extraterrestrial creatures, observing them repeatedly.

The other party was "slandering" him, but what struck him as odd was that the other party's reply seemed very "sincere".

This kind of "sincerity" is certainly not true sincerity, but rather a kind of "sincerity" that seems to know nothing about lying.

However, if what the other party said was true, then it would be somewhat unexpected for him.

How could he possibly be one of the extraterrestrials, one of their kind?

Whether in terms of his origins or the composition of his power, he has no connection with these extraterrestrial beings.

Suddenly, he remembered the "deep sea" and "mass consciousness" he had encountered before.

He also made him part of the "Great Consciousness".

These strange life forms all seemed to have some inexplicable connection with him.

He didn't rush to kill them. Since they could "communicate," he figured he might be able to find out some information.

Gu Ran transferred his mental energy to the other person's body.

“I am not one of you,” he tentatively denied.

"Impossible... You and we... come from the same place... We are... of the same origin..."

With its wings flapping rapidly, the enormous head of the insect alien opposite, covered with compound eyes, twitched slightly, as if questioning Gu Ran's answer.

Gu Ran was even more puzzled.

From the same place?

Are you also from another time?

However, Gu Ran could clearly sense that the "same place" the other party was referring to was a certain place in this world.

"Where?" Gu Ran continued to ask.

He and these alien species couldn't possibly come from the same place, so the other party must have mistakenly thought he came from the same place as them for some reason.

"have no idea......"

The other party's response left Gu Ran speechless.

If you don't even know where you're from, how did you figure out that we're from the same place?

Gu Ran was about to ask more questions when suddenly the remaining dozen or so insectoids attacked him.

Did they discover that I'm not one of them?

The thought quickly crossed Gu Ran's mind, and he instantly adjusted the sword in his hand, assuming a fighting stance.

"Don't... stop us anymore... time is almost up..."
