Chapter 585 - 579: Sword Master Appears!
"Shut your damn mouth!"
"I’m just stating the facts. Everyone knows that Mr. Ma Ran’s superpower, Limited Foreknowledge, consumes lifespan as the price for using his powers, especially after that brutal battle..."
"I also vaguely felt something was wrong before, but I didn’t dare think too deeply about it. Now hearing you guys talk, I’m suddenly a bit panicked. Do you think what Ran God refers to as ’adventure’ is the same thing we understand it to be?"
"As long as the Prophet doesn’t use his own life to usher in a new era, I can accept anything."
"Get lost!"
The initially rational discussion gradually evolved into an argument, with many people shouting in anger.
To ensure Ma Ran could hear them, the journalists had to repeatedly raise their voices.
Hearing their discussions, Su Qiangwei couldn’t help but glance at Ma Ran beside her.
After all, she was still a bit worried about this guy...
If he were to die, what would Master Qiangwei do in the future?
Not that she was really concerned about him.
The main thing is...
In Su Qiangwei’s view, given Earth’s current situation, anyone could die, but not Ma Ran!
This guy, though annoying, is far too important to Earth Civilization!
He can’t be done without!
"Damn it!"
The girl struggled to maintain a poker face, clenching her fists.
Through Myriad Transformations, she had copied many miraculous superpowers, including several that could extend lifespan. But the problem is...
So far, she still hasn’t found a real solution to Ma Ran’s lifespan issue!
Su Qiangwei tried countless combinations and could only slightly mitigate his lifespan consumption, unable to cure it or provide a permanent solution.
The Foreknowledge ability is simply a bottomless pit that devours lifespan!
As long as Earth remains in danger, Ma Ran’s problem can never be resolved!
Now, Su Qiangwei can only pin her hopes on the Lord of the Red Lotus who had taken her as a spear-bearer.
Such a powerful figure...
There must be a way to solve the lifespan issue!
It has to be so, without a doubt!
The girl gritted her teeth, determined to do whatever it takes to learn all of Ye Fengqing’s techniques to try and resolve Ma Ran’s superpower erosion issue.
Then, to defeat this guy fair and square!
In fact, it wasn’t only Su Qiangwei who was concerned about Ma Ran.
In the VIP seats, Extreme Cold Li Xing, Sword Master’s Direct Lineage Wan Haihao, Blood Flame Song Chu, Rain Boiling Sword Zhu Hanyi, and others also cast concerned and worried glances this way.
But Ma Ran, who was the center of attention, remained particularly calm, his gaze indifferent, his tone as composed as ever: "Thank you all for your concern."
As he spoke, the scene briefly returned to calm.
"I’m not the type who likes to shoulder problems alone."
At this point, Ma Ran glanced at Su Qiangwei beside him.
"I trust my comrades."
Su Qiangwei’s mouth lifted into an irrepressible smile, brimming with pride.
She glanced at Ma Ran with the corner of her eye, letting out a light snort.
If you’ve got the guts, drop the ’comrades’, huh?
While frail and just for fun, Ma Xiansheng, the unyielding Master Qiangwei is the forever trustworthy god of battle!
Noticing the change in Su Qiangwei’s expression, Ma Ran’s eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn’t change his tone: "Besides..."
"My lifespan, is enough for now."
Upon saying this, he smiled slightly, and spoke in a low voice: "This time is a global broadcast, viewers from all over the world are watching, so let’s get straight to the point!"
"Next, let’s welcome the Sword Master!"
With that, Ma Ran lifted his left hand slightly.
Whoosh!
In the great hall, divine light blossomed.
In the crowd, Li Xing, who was adjusting the Perpetual Motion Camera lens while interacting with viewers in the livestream room, was stunned.
After all, being an "amateur war correspondent" who switched careers halfway, Li Xing often appeared somewhat unprofessional.
Initially, many people criticised him for this.
But...
Over time, viewers who jumped to the livestream room from the Earth Super Forum have grown accustomed to Li Xing’s lack of professionalism, and even consider it as his unique trait, finding that it better helps them feel immersion when watching the livestream.
At this moment, what appeared in the lens was a deep blue sword-shaped jade.
It floated in the air, without a hint of sharpness, only occasionally flashing a brilliant red light.
Strangely, this brilliant red light imparted a chilling, cold, and lonely sensation.
"The jade is good, the carving is nice too. In someone else’s hands, it could be a top-notch ornament, adding quite a bit of flair, but in Brother Ran’s hands, it seems quite ordinary... Wait a minute!"
Li Xing was midway through his chatter when he suddenly froze: "What did Brother Ran just say?"
In the chat, the number of comments instantly surged.
"Sword Master! It’s the Sword Master!"
"Brother Xing, you’re something else! How could you miss hearing this? I suspect your supposed unfortunate attribute is purely because you’re too daft."
"Are your ears not working? If not needed, please donate them to someone who does, thank you!"
"Damn! I thought I misheard just now, but it turned out to be true?"
"The Sword Master is coming, hahaha! Awesome!"
"As a sword cultivator, when will we rise throughout the cosmos, crushing all heavens, and proudly reigning over the boundless stars?"
"Today! It’s happening today!"
"As someone from Lotus City, the moment I heard the words ’Sword Master’, it felt electrifying, goosebumps all over, leaving me numb..."
"Thanks to the Sword Master for once saving my sorry life!"
"Residents of Lotus City, welcome the Sword Master to Earth!"
"@Wan Haihao! @Zhu Hanyi! Your master has returned!"
"Stop blabbering! Focus! Look, the man who slashed at Demon Mountain is here!"
Li Xing inadvertently glanced at the comments in the livestream room, feeling the icy blue light swirling before his eyes, making it hard to keep them open.
When the light subsided, a figure appeared before the crowd.
It was a tall, slender man.
He wore a black long robe with an ancient style, black hair, blood-red eyes, eyebrows like swords, long hair cascading over his shoulders, skin whiter than snow.
The moment this person arrived, the air in the hall suddenly became clear and ethereal, as if infused with a hint of coolness.
In the crowd, Wan Haihao and Zhu Hanyi, who were dutifully maintaining order, froze for a moment before instinctively addressing him with the title they used in private.
"Sword Master!"
"Master!"
Though confirmed by two pivotal figures, Su Qiangwei couldn’t help but rub her eyes, taking a closer look at the newcomer.
His presence was overwhelmingly more imposing than before, yet his appearance, aura, and gaze remained unchanged.
She was finally sure...
At this moment, standing before everyone was none other than the Seven Vortex Sword Master, the first human overlord of Cangming Star—Lin Qiubai!
