Chapter 47

Behind these tall, sturdy horses was something resembling a carriage, completely covered by a massive curtain.

"Fellow Daoist, why such formal words! Your presence here at Spirit Fire Island brings us immense honor, please, come inside!" Huorong gestured invitingly for Taoist Yuqing to enter the island.

Seeing the flying sword strike, the lead man showed no fear and shouted "Kill!" to his companions. A burst of black Qi erupted from their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, their frames swelled to twice their size, ripping open their clothes. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and their skin shifted to a reddish-black hue. With a single swing of their blades, they batted the flying sword away.

More than five thousand surrendered soldiers, along with another six thousand Manchu troops embedded among the auxiliary troops and militiamen, had their eyes reddened with blood. Brandishing their weapons, they rampaged recklessly in all directions, indiscriminately slaughtering any living thing they encountered.

The progress of the two was clear for all to see. Li Lingyi had sparred with every single member of the hunting squad. Some matched him evenly, while others could suppress him, but in the end, virtually no one could keep him suppressed, save for Zhang Feng and Li Yun, who could faintly maintain the upper hand in close combat.

Although, aside from Jiangzhou, cities everywhere else broadcasted the event on massive public screens, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people.

"Hahaha, thank you for your concern, Tax Officer. I am truly fine, please don't worry." Ailing could only offer a perfunctory reassurance for now.

Afterward, Li Lingyi pulled the bowstring two more times, firing off another pair of lightning arrows before the crackling arcs of electric thread finally vanished.

Levi was silent. If this were true, then this plan indeed became unfeasible. For he understood Kenny, knowing the latter was an exceedingly cunning hunter, and a scheme of this caliber could never escape his watchful eyes.

This made Yan Xiangru overjoyed. He had spent a long time daydreaming about the day he might accidentally cross paths with the legendary Young Master Zhao, never expecting his wish to actually come true.

Watching the receding figures of Ning Jing and Liu Jun, Li Yun smiled smugly. Before coming here, he had already thoroughly investigated Ning Jing's background, including all the individuals connected to her. He had gathered exhaustive intelligence on everyone, especially this Liu Jun, whom Li Yun understood inside and out.

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, they noticed that in water tank number thirteen, the expressions of the oriental couple remained completely normal, showing no signs of discomfort. Moreover, their movements were extraordinarily graceful, resembling a pair of mermaids and evoking a dreamy, ethereal sensation.

"Lingfeng, do you truly believe you are a match for me?" Dr. Madman was submerged within the torrent of sword Qi, letting out a cold snort.

Yet, upon encountering the boss, Zhang Ning felt a slight sense of disappointment. Zhang Guang, the Jade-Faced Rakshasa who stood before the colossal brazier in the center of the flooded dungeon, had been reduced to an ordinary figure ever since his previous humiliation, completely stripped of his former imposing aura.

"How is it? This place really isn't bad, right?" Seeing that Ye Feng did not display any overwhelming surprise in his eyes, Wang Meiling asked with a trace of curiosity.

Without another word, Qiao Xue abruptly hung up the phone and let out a heavy sigh. Taking a deep breath to smooth out her emotions, she went to open the door. The moment it swung open, Xu Anhao was standing right on the threshold, smiling and waving directly at her with an elegant greeting.

Right in the middle of their conversation, Tie Ying suddenly felt something was amiss. He noticed that the dead dog in his hands felt like an overinflated balloon, its belly swelling larger and larger. At that moment, the other two police officers had already reached his side, and as the dog's stomach expanded further, Tie Ying inwardly cursed in distress.

The "Yipinxiang" restaurant was extremely busy, and trying to secure a private dining room at this hour in the evening was no easy task. Fortunately, Zheng Nan had called earlier in the afternoon to make a reservation in advance. Following the waiter, they headed upstairs, where a private parlor had already been prepared for them.

"Oh?" Zhen Yi was utterly astonished. "I have always treasured Zhen Mi like the apple of my eye, never allowing her to show her face in public. How could this prince possibly know? And that Dong Zhuo knows as well! How utterly strange!" In truth, Zhen Yi harbored a secret of his own: he had never informed Liu Bian of Dong Zhuo's demand that Zhen Mi be sent to him.

However, after this matter reached Huang Shuo's ears through the enthusiastic Lu Xun, Huang Shuo's complexion only seemed to grow darker. Even so, Huang Shuo was confident in his ability to extricate himself from the situation. Thus, he merely shook his head slightly and continued to converse cheerfully and humorously with Lu Xun.

After the Great Elder delivered a series of expectant and encouraging remarks, he announced the dismissal of the gathering. The crowd immediately returned to their respective mountain gates, and He Wu was once again led by Elder Ming onto the white crane, heading back toward Crimson Eyed Peak.

Yet now Sophia claimed that Crete and the Kingdom of Thessaly were separated by a full ten thousand sky-measures. As a newcomer, how could Achilles not be shocked?

"Clack," he tossed the keys onto the coffee table and pushed open the bedroom door on the far side to take a look. Xu Mo opened her eyes slightly and murmured offhandedly, "You're back?" Before Zheng Nan could reply, she had already drifted back into a deep sleep.

The two ancestors of the Celestial Clan wore grim expressions. Normally, in their eyes, anyone beneath the Supreme realm was nothing more than an ant. Yet now, a mere cultivator at the seventh heaven of Heavenly Immortality intended to fight both of them simultaneously. This stirred a sense of anger within them, yet despite this, they sensed a perilous aura emanating from this man.

Their specialized organic life-detection tentacles had already identified these attacking biological organisms as the entities hiding within those cold metallic shells.

Liu Bin finally understood at this moment. So that was the meaning behind Confucius's words. Liu Bin cursed inwardly: sages speak with such extreme conciseness, far more concise than Han Feizi's remark about fathers and brothers sharing the same bed. A single sentence summed it all up. Yet among mediocre folks of later generations like us, how many could ever truly fathom your old master's intentions?

Seeing his mother-in-law hesitate, Li Hu knew she was reluctant to part with Yue Fei. The family had been separated for nearly a year, and having finally reunited with such difficulty, how could they bear to separate once more?

In a mere fraction of a second, Ye Tian understood clearly that what the old man before him had said was essentially the truth. There was only one thing he could not fathom: since the God-Slaying Alliance dared to openly oppose the three great sacred grounds, were they not afraid that the sacred grounds would wipe the alliance out completely?

Furthermore, the physique of the Great Emperor was not a secret that could not be imparted to others, so the grey-robed elder felt no reservations and directly imprinted the method of the Great Emperor's body onto a jade slip.

In truth, there was no need for Blood Ji to issue a warning. Ever since the moment the Four Great Demon Kings appeared, Ye Tian had already awakened. Even he had not anticipated that the two of them would have such terrible luck, encountering four Demon Kings the very moment they stepped into the Demon Domain.

With that, he ruthlessly brought his foot down right onto the youth's groin. The youth let out a shriek like a slaughtered pig, clutching his crotch as he rolled on the ground! Without needing to look, he would never have to worry about being a man for the rest of his life.

Knowing of even one more exit meant having one more option to preserve one's life. By this point, the lingering shred of nostalgia the Golden-Haired Lion King held for the Five Elements Sect vanished completely into thin air.
