Chapter 338: Chapter 334: Poison of Annihilation · Moral High Ground

Zhou Yu listened to these words, his emotions complex, unsure of whether to feel sorrow or joy.

The sorrow naturally stemmed from the long-suspected reality finally materializing—the ultimate goal of "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan" was never to be a savior, but to fulfill his own ends.

The joy was in knowing that this formidable existence, who made people almost lose the courage to look up, bore no significant malice towards Earth civilization.

Moreover, the fact that the other party would say such things clearly meant he regarded Zhou Yu as a confidant.

Zhou Yu had a clear and profound self-awareness.

In terms of excellence, he was better than most people in the world, but his talent was only average, and the belief will stronger than his was not uncommon.

If not for the arrogant Molten Rock Crow helping him, he would have almost no qualifications to compare with the [Yin Yang Master] Ogata Shitou, let alone make a name as the [Blazing Rock Funeralist].

Everything he now possessed, including fame, power, strength, status, and wealth, came from "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."

Having boarded the ship of the Profound Immortal Team, he feared there would be no chance to clear his name and disembark for life.

However...

This was actually something he could accept.

Zhou Yu had made up his mind to work diligently in the Profound Immortal Team, carry out tasks, scavenge resources, and become stronger.

Only a true strongman can change the world!

And Zhou Yu set a goal for himself, which was to become a strongman! Strong enough to influence the world’s situation, to make alien invaders tremble!

When Zhou Yu was thinking, he did not activate the [Electric Fire Stone] ability.

After he had thought everything through, Ma Ran had already devoured the entire table of food voraciously.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Suddenly, gunfire erupted!

Zhou Yu instinctively activated [Electric Fire Stone], his thinking accelerated a hundredfold.

He could clearly see dozens of bullets shooting from all directions.

Even with time slowed a hundredfold, these special bullets did not move too slowly.

And the formerly panicked, timid University of Tokyo faculty member had now taken on a different posture.

Behind the blasted door, the person’s face was stern, tightly gripping dual pistols, crazily pulling the triggers, eyes fierce, an attitude as if he would not rest until Zhou Yu and the "Profound Immortal" were riddled with holes.

The people initiating the assassination on the scene were not just him.

Although in the [Electric Fire Stone] state, Zhou Yu could not turn his gaze in time to see the situation behind him, the disturbance in the airflow and the sound of bullets leaving the chamber made him aware there were many assassins!

At least thirty people!

"These guns and bullets are specially made, completely unavoidable!"

In fear, Zhou Yu felt his heart pumping blood slowly yet powerfully, slightly increasing his movement speed.

But this marginally superior performance was completely insufficient to ensure his survival in such a predicament!

In a trance, Zhou Yu’s peripheral vision landed on "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."

He...

was smiling!

The mockery and disdain at the corners of his lips conveyed the confidence of this team leader.

Clearly, in the [Electric Fire Stone] state, where everything was relatively slowed a hundredfold, but Zhou Yu still saw "Zhao Guanlan" turning his face, glancing at him indifferently, then snapping his fingers leisurely.

Snap!

Buzzing...

Electrical currents surged.

The bullets shooting out were trapped in mid-air by an invisible electromagnetic net, unable to punch through the unseen barrier to reach Zhou Yu or "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan."

At this moment, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, deactivating [Electric Fire Stone].

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...

The gunfire continued.

Zhou Yu even saw rockets launching towards them.

In the sky, fighter jets roared, not yet attacking before being caught in the Molten Rock Crow’s beak and crushed, melting into metal liquid.

Above the sky, a drizzling rain of metal began to fall. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Not a single weakling among the assassins!

They either possessed C-level and above superpowers or had cultivated noteworthy Inner Qi.

Among them were Yekis Williams and Adolf Chris, who had once tried to assassinate the "Profound Immortal" but were counter-killed, leaving only themselves to barely escape with their lives.

And many renowned superpower users from Japan were also among them.

Soma Kizue, Yuuma Touichirou, Nagamasa Hunting Ghost, Arima Fumie, Hanma Kota...

Zhou Yu quickly recognized the identities of many people at a glance.

The combination of modern weapons and extraordinary power users produced an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

However...

All the efforts of the assassins were in vain!

The gunfire eventually ceased, the heavy scent of smoke permeating the air.

Among the assassins, the leading A+ level Ability User Nagamasa Hunting Ghost dropped his weapon and took two steps forward.

His eyes staring intently at "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan," his tone complex: "Even the A+ level superpower [Poison of Annihilation], the ultimate poison that can dissolve most energy and matter, can’t harm you in the slightest..."

"Deservedly, Mr. Zhao Guanlan!"

"Your might has once again refreshed my understanding of the [National Guardian] level!"

Speaking to this, Nagamasa Hunting Ghost bit his lower lip. "The A-level superpower [Environmental Fusion] allowed us to merge into the soil, stone, trees—even the wind—and become perfectly invisible."

"Yet, even so, you surely perceived our presence long ago?"

Ma Ran leisurely stood up, speaking calmly, his voice carrying throughout the entire University of Tokyo campus: "Do you think you can kill me, Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan, this way?"

"Naive!"

"The Controller Group actually colluded with assassins, using despicable assassinations and filthy poisoning tactics to deal with a ’dreamer’ trying to save more people from disaster."

"This country truly disappoints me."

"People must be responsible for their actions. Since you dared to appear here, it seems you have already made your resolve."

Everyone at the University of Tokyo, whether student, lecturer, professor, or even cleaner and cafeteria worker, heard these words clearly.

Previously, he didn’t kill Fujita Youki.

That was because Fujita Youki was not only not on the list of traitors but had also contributed to the Guardian of Earth Civilization endeavor.

Although just insignificant research findings with no impact on the overall situation, and Fujita Youki wasn’t included in the Guardian roster, but...

Ma Ran was aware of his merits.

And as for this group of assassins...

They didn’t possess an "Immunity Token."

In the crowd, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, tall Yekis Williams also realized that hot weapons seemed to have no effect on the Profound Immortal, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Zhao Guanlan! You killed my family! I’d eat your flesh, drink your blood! If you’re a man, then come out and face me one-on-one!"

He knew he was no match for the "Profound Immortal," and going out to fight would only lead to one outcome—death.

But Yekis Williams did it anyway.

He wanted to stall, giving the other assassins time.

No matter if it was to escape or to deploy ace cards against the Profound Immortal, it didn’t matter anymore.

This decision was both self-destructive and an attempt to squeeze out his last value.

The similarly family-driven Adolph Chris, killed entirely by the Profound Immortal Team, had flickering eyes, silently stepping back two steps, hiding within the crowd.

Unlike Yekis, his feelings toward his family weren’t as profound, and he had agreed to join this assassination attempt merely to avoid a life spent being hunted.

Now, the assassination endeavor seemed likely already a failure.

He wanted to live, not to die now!

Ma Ran ignored these extraordinary assassins.

He had long been aware of their revenge and assassination plan.

The logic he allowed it to escalate to this point was indeed his connivance.

Without a good show, how could the Profound Immortal Team’s subsequent actions hold rationality, how could they claim the moral high ground?
