Having broken free of his restraints, Qin Guangxiao roared in anger.

He stomped his foot hard.

"Snap!"

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the bluestone pavement, radiating outwards from his feet as if some terrifying force was about to burst forth from the earth.

The phantom behind him grew increasingly solid.

That domineering, majestic yet compassionate aura,

They surged forth like a tidal wave, their momentum overwhelming.

"roar!"

Qin Guangxiao roared to the sky, his voice booming like muffled thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

He suddenly rushed towards Ye Ran at an extreme speed.

A gust of wind swept through, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

He threw a punch, the wind whistling through the air, tearing it apart with a piercing scream, heading straight for Ye Ran's face...

Ye Ran then extended one finger.

It precisely blocked Qin Guangxiao's fist.

"Buzz~~~"

The collision between Qin Guangxiao's fist and Ye Ran's fingers

It caused a tremor in the surrounding space...

"Holy crap?!" Duobao exclaimed in surprise at the scene before him.

"Really??"

Duobao turned his head in disbelief, looking at Wang Xianghe beside him:

"You let go on purpose??"

Wang Xianghe looked at Duobao speechlessly:

Do you think that's possible?

Then, Wang Xianghe gave Ye Ran another deep look, muttering to himself:

"Thank goodness... thank goodness I didn't gamble, I almost fell for that kid's trick again..."

"Let her go!!!"

Seeing his attack easily blocked by Ye Ran with a single finger,

Qin Guangxiao turned around instantly.

His left leg transformed into a whip, lashing out towards Ye Ran.

That fierce attack,

The surrounding air was stirred up by the traction, creating a series of booming sounds.

"Quiet down!!"

Faced with Qin Guangxiao's relentless attacks, Ye Ran shouted a rebuke.

Subsequently,

Ye Ran flicked his finger lightly, and an invisible force shot out.

"Thump!"

Before Qin Guangxiao could react, he was smashed into the ground like a radish, with only his head sticking out...

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Qin Guangxiao roared,

It twisted its body desperately.

In an instant, the terrifying force churned the surrounding earth, causing it to crack.

Just as Qin Guangxiao was about to break free from the soil,

Ye Ran pouted:

"All that brute force... it doesn't seem like it at all..."

Then, he stretched out his finger and drew circles in the air.

moment,

Ye Ran's right eye began to turn red.

The power of the laws of life began to attach itself to the earth.

In a short time,

The vines on the ground were sprouting out like crazy.

It tightly gripped Qin Guangxiao's head, solidifying the cracked earth.

Qin Guangxiao had just managed to open a small gap,

New vegetation has sprouted and climbed up again...

The more he struggled, the faster the vegetation grew...

After several attempts, Qin Guangxiao was completely buried by vegetation.

With a bunch of messy grass leaves on its head, it looked like it had just crawled out of a chicken coop...

"Quiet now??" Ye Ran asked with a smile, looking at Qin Guangxiao, who was no longer moving.

"Don't touch her!! Ugh!!!" Qin Guangxiao was about to warn him when the vines burrowed towards his mouth.

Qin Guangxiao was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.

Looking at Qin Guangxiao, whose eyes still held anger, Ye Ran shook her head helplessly:

"Such impulsiveness... it seems this soul essence has quite a influence on your mind..."

Ye Ran sighed and ignored Qin Guangxiao.

He reached out and touched the chin of the little girl named Xiaoli.

Ye Ran gently tapped,

The scarf around the little girl's neck instantly fell off.

The scarf fluttered down, leaving Xiaoli's neck completely exposed to the air.

"Hiss..." Looking at the little girl's neck, Duobao couldn't help but gasp.

It wasn't the fair and delicate skin a young girl should have, but rather a shocking dark red.

Extensive burn marks,

The skin stretched from his chin to his collarbone, twisted and wrinkled, as if it had been greedily licked by flames.

What's even more heartbreaking is that these burns are interspersed with fine, intricate scars...

Like the marks of a whip, old and new overlap.

Each one seemed to tell a story of silent suffering...

These scars are very old.

The regenerated flesh and blood tissue had solidified into ugly and terrifying scars.

This contrasted sharply with Xiaoli's delicate yet terrified face...

What kind of dark past could have left such a cruel mark on a girl?

Ye Ran's smiling expression turned serious.

His gaze slowly moved from Xiaoli's neck to her eyes.

In those eyes,

Besides fear and apprehension,

There was also a deep sense of shame and indignation...

Everything right now,

It's like tearing open the deepest scars in that little girl's heart for people to see once again...

"Xiaoli, Xiaoli, don't be afraid, you..."

"Shut up!"

Qin Guangxiao wanted to say something, but Ye Ran stuffed a vine into his mouth.

"Who did this to you?" Ye Ran asked.

Xiaoli looked at Ye Ran and gritted her teeth:

"I told you, can I go with you in place of my older brother?"

Hearing Xiaoli's words, Ye Ran chuckled: "At this point, you still want to protect him??"
