Bai Xu turned his head as he spoke, looking at the runes that Zhu Duanjin had inscribed.

He sighed and said:

"However, this is the only formation I can find that can effectively counter a powerhouse at the level of a nation-slaughterer..."

Hearing Bai Xu's words, Ye Ran nodded.

Then, he looked at Bai Xu and asked seriously:

"If we kill him at the level of the laws, does that mean we can completely eliminate a superhuman capable of slaughtering a nation?"

Bai Xu nodded:

"Theoretically speaking, that's how it is. The source of power for every nation-destroying level transcendent being lies in the divine kingdom they built upon that law. As long as all traces of them can be eradicated at the level of the law, it signifies their annihilation..."

Ye Ran nodded after hearing this and said easily:

"That makes things easier."

Hearing Ye Ran ask this question,

Bai Xu was stunned for a moment, and even Zhu Duanjin, who was still inscribing runes, stopped what he was doing.

He smiled at Ye Ran.

The way he looked at it was as if he were listening to a naive child spouting nonsense.

"Ye Ran, do you know what you're saying?" Bai Xu looked at Ye Ran. "Things aren't as simple as you think. You may have seen Lan Moyan kill the Eternal Night Demon God before, but that was the result of a combination of special circumstances."

Bai Xu then held up three fingers and explained to Ye Ran:

"Firstly, the Eternal Night Demon God had just been resurrected, so his very foundation was flawed. Secondly, Lan Moyan possessed one of the most ruthless and deadly laws in the world. Thirdly, the Eternal Night Demon God was in the process of merging with the world at the time, so he simply couldn't dodge Lan Moyan's sword strike..."

"If any one of those three stringent conditions were missing, Lan Moyan would not have been able to kill the Eternal Night Demon God on the spot."

Just as Bai Xu was explaining to Ye Ran the harsh conditions under which Lan Moyan would kill the Eternal Night Demon God,

Ye Ran looked at Bai Xu, then glanced at the massive array behind him, and said seriously:

"Principal, let's apply the same logic. First of all, the Eternal Night Demon God is an existence that has already merged with the origin of the world, while the enemy that has invaded this time, no matter how strong, is only at the peak of the Kingdom-Slaying level, which is relatively weaker than the Eternal Night Demon God, right?"

Bai Xu nodded silently.

Ye Ran gazed at the enormous array and continued:

"Secondly, although the massive formation you've constructed is somewhat lacking in offensive power, it's sufficient to trap these nation-destroying level superhumans, forcing them to face the attack head-on, right?"

Hearing Ye Ran say this, Bai Xu spoke up:

"That's exactly how it is, but what we lack now is that ultimate killing method."

He then pointed to Zhu Duanjin, and then to himself:

"Whether it's Lao Zhu, myself, or any of the other extraordinary individuals from the Dragon Kingdom, none of them possess the pure and unadulterated killing power of Lan Moyan, let alone her ultimate, sublime sword strike. No one can achieve that..."

Ye Ran nodded and said in agreement:

"Lan Moyan's sword strike was arguably the strongest attack I've ever seen in my life."

Bai Xu shook his head and sighed:

"So, what you're saying is completely unfounded..."

Ye Ran then looked at Bai Xu and said:

“Principal, you can’t do it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t.”

"Click..."

Before Bai Xu could say anything after Ye Ran said this,

Zhu Duanjin, momentarily distracted, used too much force and cleaved one of the strokes of the rune in two...

Seeing Bai Xu's gaze, Zhu Duanjin pouted:

"Alright, stop looking. I'll compensate you for the rune damage, okay..."

At this moment, Zhu Duanjin had lost all interest in drawing runes. He turned his head and looked at Ye Ran:

"Brother Ye, are you kidding me? You can kill a superhuman who can slaughter a nation???"

Ye Ran then turned her head and asked in return:

"As long as a nation-destroying level transcendent being is still alive, why is there any reason not to kill them?"

After hearing Ye Ran's words, the two big shots fell silent...

They looked at Ye Ran with complicated expressions.

If this statement had been made by any other Diamond-level Grandmaster...

They might burst out laughing.

But since it was Ye Ran who said those words, they couldn't laugh.

After all, after experiencing such a long period of time,

Everything Ye Ran did was enough to make them lose face.

What if Ye Ran really does have such methods...?

For a moment, Bai Xu's eyes burned with desire as he looked at Ye Ran.

"Ye Ran, we're not saying they can't kill you, but we think that as a Diamond-level Grandmaster, you don't have the ability to kill them."

Ye Ran nodded, then said to Bai Xu:

"Indeed, based solely on my strength, those nation-destroying level transcendents are worlds apart from me. How could I possibly kill them..."

Hearing Ye Ran say that, Bai Xu suddenly thought of something and tentatively asked:

"So you mean to say that Senior Zhuge had some tricks up his sleeve...?"

Ye Ran shook her head and answered directly, "No."

Realizing he had guessed wrong, Bai Xu asked in astonishment, "Then what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Ye Ran noticed that Bai Xu and Zhu Duanjin did not answer the question directly.
