In another direction, a group of people from Kimchi Country were chattering noisily.
As soon as Lin Ran's gaze fell upon them, the group of Koreans stood up indignantly and strode towards him.
As they rose, the previously noisy hall quieted down considerably, with everyone turning their attention to them.
After all, their target was quite obvious, their curses were directed in a clear direction, and they were heading straight for Lin Ran and the other person.
Due to the strange aura emanating from Lin Ran and his companion, there was no one around them, leaving a large circular area empty.
From the perspective of these Westerners, people from the Dragon Country were often associated with mystery and power, as well as being eccentric and reclusive.
Even though they had a myriad of thoughts, such as provocation, friendship, consultation, or a spar, they were still hesitant to be the first to tread on dangerous ground.
The incident with the Golden Emerald that day had already proven that the two were no ordinary individuals. Although, when sensing their aura, they both appeared to be at the peak of the fourth rank, a considerable difference from themselves, they were definitely not to be underestimated.
Even if there were future confrontations, they would wait for some foolish individuals who courted death to go first.
And as if on cue, the foolish ones arrived in a bold manner.
Seven or eight Koreans, shaking their heads and swaying their bodies, approached Lin Ran. The leader raised his wine glass towards Lin Ran:
"Two friends... from the Dragon Country, how about we share a drink?"
"There are some matters we need to consult you two about!"
"We hope you won't refuse, otherwise... you won't be able to withstand the wrath of our Kimchi Country!"
Their initial tone was rather polite – had Lin Ran not overheard what they were discussing in a corner of the hall earlier.
However, as they continued, their tone grew increasingly arrogant and overbearing.
Therefore, Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan completely ignored them, continuing to eat and drink as if they were air.
At this, the Koreans' raised hands froze in mid-air, unsure whether to retract them or drink the wine.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Lin Ran sighed and "kindly" raised his lowered wine glass slightly towards the leader of the Koreans.
The leader's expression improved slightly, and he resentfully also lifted his wine glass.
'You dare to deliberately ignore and humiliate me? Just you wait!'
'Let's see how I humiliate you later!'
Unfortunately, before he could act on his next intention, Lin Ran had already taken the initiative and done what he intended to do.
*Splash...*
The wine, with a sapphire-like luster, was mercilessly poured by Lin Ran onto the red carpet at the Koreans' feet.
As the wine dripped onto the ground, some of it even splashed onto the Koreans due to the splatter.
"Please!"
Lin Ran lowered his wine glass, his pupils swirling with tomoe.
With Lin Ran's action, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
Countless people who were interested in Lin Ran momentarily stopped what they were doing. With noses sharper than dogs, they instantly caught the scent of gunpowder in the air.
The leader of the Koreans turned red in the face and neck with anger. Before he could react, a Korean behind him, eager to protect his leader, jumped out first.
"Xi ba!"
After exclaiming a standard curse from Kimchi Country, he reached out and lunged towards Luo Qingyan's face.
The gust of wind emanating from his palm proved that his talent was likely related to grabbing.
Lin Ran's gaze instantly turned icy, and he unleashed his ocular jutsu without any hesitation.
*Kamui!*
Before the Korean's hand could even reach halfway, a vortex that tore through space directly locked onto his arm.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The Korean let out a pig-like scream.
Under the rotation of Kamui, his fragile right arm was instantly shredded into pieces as if it had fallen into a meat grinder.
Furthermore, these fragments and the severed arm did not fall to the ground but were directly annihilated in the endless expanse of time and space.
"Baga!"
The leader of the Koreans became enraged. With a swish, he drew a short sword and slashed upwards towards Lin Ran's jaw.
Unfortunately, the invincible Kamui once again blocked his attack route.
The second spatial vortex severed his short sword in an instant and also cut his palm.
Even though he was an awakened being of the sixth rank and his reaction was fast enough, he was still severely wounded by Kamui, bleeding profusely.
*Kamui!*
Lin Ran was relentless, his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye spinning wildly.
Seven or eight spatial vortices reappeared, each locking onto the left chest of one of the Koreans.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
The Koreans, having already experienced the power of Kamui, did not dare to resist head-on. Each of them retreated faster than dogs.
However, they were fast, but Lin Ran's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was even faster!
*Tsukuyomi!*
With a mere flicker of his eyes, all the Koreans except for their leader suddenly felt a shock in their heads, as if they had been struck hard by a hammer. Their bodies instantly staggered.
Subsequently, these fifth-rank Koreans were mercilessly annihilated by the terrifying Kamui.
The leader, a sixth-rank Korean, relying on his mental talent and superior physical strength, managed to struggle out of it with difficulty. However, within the short duration of Tsukuyomi, he was also severely wounded and bleeding profusely.
Before he could fully regain his balance, a blazing black flame instantly engulfed him.
*Amaterasu!*
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
"Murder! Murder!"
The leader of the Koreans had never experienced such an ordeal. While desperately channeling his magic and rolling on the ground, he let out continuous screams.
However, everyone present acted as if they heard nothing, and not a single person had the intention to step forward and help.
Strangely enough, the black flame seemed to exclusively target this Korean, not even igniting the carpet he was rolling on.
And no matter how the Korean tried to resist the black flame with his magic, the flame seemed inexhaustible. Instead, it devoured his magic as its own sustenance, burning ever more fiercely.
Thus, before he could struggle for even a minute, his entire body, from bones to flesh and blood, was annihilated by Amaterasu, leaving not even a speck of residue.
As for the other Koreans, they had already been completely shredded by Kamui, also leaving nothing behind as evidence.
This meant that these seven or eight Koreans who had come to provoke had seemingly never existed, vanishing into thin air without leaving a single trace.
And the instigator of it all, Lin Ran, had not moved from his seat the entire time, his actions limited to opening and closing his eyes...
As if nothing had happened, he was now chatting and laughing with Luo Qingyan, eating and drinking without any reservations.
