Chapter 98

The real person from Hangzhou City, who had once single-handedly fought against a Level 13 great demon and forced the Scorpion Mercenary Group to abandon all their operations in the Confucian world, shouldn't look so ordinary.

The White Snake growled, "Who are you?"

No matter how she looked, the man seemed like an ordinary person, and she couldn't determine his identity.

"Sister, why ask? Just attack," Xiaqing said. She shook the green sword in her hand, and her body was enveloped in a flow of green demonic energy.

Sun Ran remained calm, pointing to the receding Qiantang River, he said to Xiaqing, "Your Water Control Spell is good, but you're using it in the wrong place. I warned you at West Lake that day, but you didn't listen and instead became even more extreme. Your actions deserve punishment!"

With these words, his identity was clear; he was the legendary reclusive real person of Hangzhou City.

Xiaqing, impulsive and fearless, angrily retorted, "Hypocrite! Isn't it just about earning credit points? Why so many big words?"

Sun Ran shook his head, ignoring her, and turned to Fa Hai, who was on the ground, bowing politely, "Fellow Daoist, I'll take this mission. I'm truly sorry I couldn't let you complete it."

The monk had been busy for so long, and it would be unfair for Sun Ran to take over halfway.

Fa Hai, a broad-minded person, said indifferently, "No problem. It's my own fault for being caught off guard by the White Snake. I'll leave it to you. These two girls seem to be obsessed with the game; you need to make them see reason."

"Bald monk, you're asking for it!" Xiaqing thrust her sword into Fa Hai's heart, kicking him out of the game.

She then looked up at Sun Ran and said, "I've heard you're powerful. Today, I'll see just how powerful you are! Sister, let's go together."

The White Snake shook her head, "If we fight, it won't be here. Let's fight in the water!"

She had lived in this world for a thousand years and knew about the events in Hebian County. On land, she knew that even if her power was ten times greater, she wouldn't be a match for him. But in the water, their water control abilities were unmatched, giving them a slim chance of victory.

The Qiantang River was just behind them, making it easy to jump in.

She looked at Sun Ran and challenged, "Daoist, your Daoist arts are profound. Will you dare to fight us in the water?"

Sun Ran shook his head, "No need to provoke me. Before we fight, I want to explain the cause and effect to avoid any resentment."

He had a teacher, and to avoid trouble, Sun Ran wanted to clarify things. If the teacher was reasonable, Sun Ran could kick these two snakes out of the game, and the matter would be settled.

The White Snake nodded, "Go ahead."

Sun Ran smiled, "Originally, I didn't want to get involved, but Xiaqing killed my daughter-in-law, sowing evil seeds. I have no choice but to act."

"Your daughter-in-law?" Xiaqing was confused.

"Xu Xuan is my son. Didn't you say you were going to confront him? As his father, I have to protect my son," Sun Ran said with a smile.

"Ah!" The White Snake exclaimed, realizing this was Xu Xuan's father, her former father-in-law. What a mess.

She was reasonable and bowed to Sun Ran, "Daoist Changqing, you don't need to say more. We were in the wrong today, interfering with your mission. If you kick us out of the game, we have no complaints."

This meant that the game was the game, and if they lost, they wouldn't continue to纠缠.

Sun Ran nodded, these two sisters were decent and reasonable. He raised his eyebrows and stroked his beard, smiling, "Very well, Fellow Daoist, you may make the first move."

Xiaqing also came to her senses, pulling the White Snake's hand, "Sister, that's old news. Since he's here, he won't let us go. Let's attack!"

"Agreed," the White Snake nodded. This was a virtual game, and her lingering feelings for Xu Xuan were now hopeless.

She pulled Xiaqing's hand and leaped backward, transforming into snake form mid-air and plunging into the Qiantang River. The river immediately boiled, forming violent whirlpools, churning like a pot of soup.

"Fellow Daoist, why let them into the water? They are much more troublesome in the water."

A figure jumped out beside Sun Ran, covered in mud—it was Fa Hai, who had reincarnated again.

He had long heard of Daoist Changqing's unparalleled Daoist arts and itched to see them in action. He asked the game administrator to let him observe, to prevent any accidents, and without any pay.

As a Bronze Maintainer, the game administrator was happy to oblige.

Sun Ran smiled, "Just two small snakes playing in the water, no problem."

He walked forward, his body swelling with power, and the massive data he had been gathering from the mountain was released.

With each step, his body grew larger. By the time he reached the cliff's edge, he had transformed into a giant over fifty meters tall.

Level 4 Daoist Art: Heaven and Earth Transformation!

"Damn! No wonder he can defeat dozens of great demons. From an ordinary old man to a wild demon, his Daoist arts are truly terrifying!"

Fa Hai's eyes nearly popped out. How could there be such a huge gap between Bronze Maintainers? If he had this art, he could have stomped out the Qiantang tide with one foot instead of being washed away.

At the cliff's edge, Sun Ran's giant form leaped into the Qiantang River, his feet landing heavily.

A deafening boom echoed as the whirlpools in the river were crushed by the immense force, sending a massive splash of water in all directions, like a blooming lotus.

On the lotus petals, a green snake and a white snake struggled in vain, unable to regain their balance, flying helplessly in the air.

Sun Ran extended his hands, grabbing each snake with one hand.

His martial skills, honed over twenty years, were far superior to his earlier clumsy attempts. This grab was swift and powerful, leaving no room for escape.

The White Snake released her inner pearl, a white light flying toward Sun Ran. Sun Ran's movement was unaffected, and he extended another giant hand, lightly flicking the white light.

Instantly, the white light shattered, and the inner pearl was destroyed!

The inner pearl was the White Snake's life essence, a thousand years of condensed power. Its violent destruction left her feeling a heavy blow, her mind in a daze, and her body weak, as if she had suffered both physical and mental damage. In the real world, she would probably need to see a psychologist.

This was Sun Ran holding back; otherwise, the White Snake's physical body would have been brain-dead.

"Killer, be killed. Cause and effect, retribution is inevitable. This applies to both the virtual and real worlds." Sun Ran had the power to destroy souls but would never do such dirty work, even against Number 3, leaving it to the game administrator.

Xiaqing, rolling in the air, saw her sister's eyes vacant and unfocused in the splash.

Her sister hadn't exited the game but had lost consciousness, a terrifying situation that made Xiaqing realize the danger of the "Great Dao" her teacher often mentioned.

The Great Dao is perilous, and as a Disruptor, one must be cautious even in the virtual world, or risk destruction of body and soul.

At this moment, Xiaqing had no will to resist, feeling utterly powerless as the giant hand approached, leaving no escape.

In a moment, the two snakes, each nearly five meters long and as thick as a man's waist, were in Sun Ran's grasp.

The water splash hadn't reached its peak, and the Qiantang River water was still spreading in all directions, the massive waves making it look like slow motion. The riverbed exposed in the center of the water lotus hadn't closed yet, and Sun Ran stood there, arrogant and invincible, like an ancient wild demon.

In the Star Hall, the central holographic screen showed an overhead view of the Qiantang River. The circular waves spreading outward, the giant snakes struggling in the giant's hands, everything created an illusion of returning to the ancient primordial era.

The entire hall, with dozens of administrators, was silent.

In the game, Fa Hai, lying on the cliff, was mesmerized by the powerful force, the rushing river water hitting him painfully, but he ignored it, muttering, "At the end of chaos, at the beginning of creation, the might of the Pangu giant is like this."
