The teenager with black and white hair focused his gaze on the two of them: "Don't move, so the injuries don't worsen."

After speaking, he slowly drew his left hand out of his pocket and snapped his fingers.

A transparent stream of air flowed from his fingers, splitting into two parts, falling on Li Xing and Qi An.

This airflow penetrated their clothing, infiltrating their pores, flowing with the blood to every corner of their bodies.

"Wow... amazing!"

Li Xing's eyes widened.

He could clearly feel a powerful warm flow quickly nourishing every cell in his body.

The wounds scraped on the cement ground had stopped bleeding.

The injuries from falling from the fourth floor were also recovering significantly within a few breaths.

Just this move alone was enough to be called "advanced medical talent."

Initially, Li Xing felt as if his internal organs were filled with strong glue; moving slightly caused immense discomfort. He had been gritting his teeth to endure it while on horseback.

While escaping, Li Xing kept talking to Qi An, not because he was talkative, but because...

If he didn't say something, he feared he would cry out in pain.

The earlier conversation was not just to ease Qi An's tension, but also to distract himself.

If he screamed, causing embarrassment was secondary; if the White Mane alien hunting them heard, Li Xing's frustration and depression would only double.

He had made up his mind -- even if he died painfully on horseback or got shot in the head, he would not make a sound that gave the opponent pleasure.

Now, with reinforcements arriving, Li Xing felt his resolve seemed like a child's tantrum.

Anyway!

He survived!

"Brother Qi, don't just stand there, thank the man!"

Li Xing spoke, giving Qi An a look.

Ever since the black and white-haired teenager appeared nearby, the White Mane alien hadn't moved.

Why?

Because the alien was an idiot?

Clearly not.

The answer was straightforward — the suddenly appearing teenager was so powerful that the White Mane alien dared not act in front of him!

Judging from the fact that the White Mane alien gave up all the targets in his sight to focus solely on pursuing him, Li Xing inferred: the other party not only had the ability to think but also understood spoken Chinese, comprehending his previous trash talk perfectly...

At this thought, Li Xing's face darkened.

So...

The reason the other party hunted him like a ghost all the way here was because of his big mouth?

"It can't be!"

Li Xing's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the White Mane alien who had chased him and Qi An all the way: "You're about to kill me, and you're upset that I insulted you?"

Damn alien!

This was truly a textbook case of "double standards!"

The White Mane alien ignored him, holding a gun with his right hand, aiming at the black and white-haired teenager, lightly rubbing something with his left hand.

Mist flowed, and a blue card condensed at his fingertips.

Just as he was about to crush the card, the black and white-haired teenager glanced at the alien indifferently, put his left hand back into his pocket, and calmly said a word.

"Die."

Both Li Xing and Qi An vowed to the heavens that the teenager made no extra movement!

In the blink of an eye...

No!

In just an instant, the White Mane alien who had been arrogantly hunting them turned to dust, slowly dispersing in the wind.

"A superpower user? [Words Become Law]?"

Li Xing felt a half of his face numb, his body trembling slightly as if struck by electricity: "Oh my god!"

"If such a power exists, it probably wouldn't be weaker than God Gray, Martial God Su Qiangwei, and Prophet Ma Ran, right?"

"Hmm?"

"Prophet... Ma Ran!"

Li Xing's pupils slightly contracted, his gaze focusing on their savior's head.

The black and white hair...

This characteristic, wasn't it the legendary [National Guardian] level ability user, Ma Ran?

No wonder the first time he saw this person, he felt a sense of familiarity despite having never met before...

"It's me."

Ma Ran slowly walked up to the two: "I just used my Inner Qi to stop your injuries from worsening, but I'm not good at healing."

"To avoid accumulating hidden injuries, I better send you to the hospital first."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Li Xing and Qi An.

They were lifted by invisible hands, suspended in mid-air.

"Is this a method after cultivating Inner Qi to a high level? So strong! Not even a bit unsteady!" Normally reticent, Qi An couldn't help but comment.

Li Xing opened his mouth, feeling countless words in his head, yet not knowing where to start from.

Based on his research, Prophet Ma Ran was known to be very aloof.

Only those with significant potential or who fought alongside him ever saw his amiable side.

Others did not enjoy such a privilege...

Why did he and Qi An deserve such special treatment?

It's normal to have such a doubt, not a sign of low self-esteem, after all, Ma Ran was a globally renowned figure, and Li Xing was just an ordinary unlucky teenager.

There should be no intersection between them!

Even if Li Xing asked, Ma Ran wouldn't give him a real answer.

Not asking is more enjoyable.

Ma Ran slowly walked, using Inner Qi to carry Li Xing and Qi An towards the nearest hospital.

Earlier, when he killed the White Mane alien, he didn't use medals or Inner Qi but collaborated with 98725 to use the "Soul Scalpel," crushing the alien's spiritual will.

The White Mane aliens had mastered infinite revival technology, simply destroying their body meant nothing, as they would just be reborn intact at a "base."

But...

Cutting through the spiritual body and crushing the will — even if the body was alive, the opponent was considered completely dead!

According to Ma Ran's conjecture, a White Mane alien killed by soul trauma would likely be nothing but an empty shell even if revived.

As for...

This behavior possibly provoking retaliation from the White Mane Civilization?

Ma Ran wasn't worried about that.

Amid the mutual checks between alien invading forces, if the White Mane Civilization wanted to destroy Earth, they had to consider whether other "Hunters" would take advantage.

Before the Earth's eventual destruction, some superpower users specialized in soul attacks directly harming White Mane aliens' souls.

Yet, up to Earth's explosion, the White Mane Civilization never launched large-scale retaliation, not even conducting a single decapitation strike.

If not for sufficient patience, how could they have hidden till the end?

After all, the White Mane Civilization's technological level was many tiers above Earth's, but in the vast cosmos, they were only mid-to-low on the food chain, with countless civilizations stronger than them.

"I understand now!"

Floating in mid-air, carried by Inner Strength, Li Xing suddenly turned his head, staring intensely at Ma Ran: "Prophet..."

"I'm sure you've seen through the mists of time, understood all of the future."

"You know that I and Brother Qi will be very important in the future, with potential to rise to [National Guardian] level, which is why you personally came to save us, right?"

Ma Ran tilted his head, looking at him with a peculiar expression for a moment, then said in a faint tone: "You're overthinking."

"Second law of superpowers: Zero Augmentation Principle."

"It means..."

"The level of a superpower is set the moment it is awakened."

"You can only exploit its potential and develop more uses, but cannot raise the upper limit through effort."

"Unfortunately,"

"You are not [National Guardian] level."

Qi An was fine, he was always easily satisfied, and awakening a superpower to receive more subsidies from the bureau each month was enough for him.

Li Xing showed a touch of confusion, a slight blush on his face: "Then... why specifically..."

Ma Ran, as if knowing what he would ask, replied calmly: "I just completed an important mission and was about to go home for a vacation."

The way it sounded, it was as if he happened to run into the two of them by accident.
