Chapter 46: Bite You to Death

I furrowed my brows tightly, my eyes fixed unblinkingly on this creature. At this distance, I could gradually make out her features. She was indeed a woman, but her appearance was wretched beyond words—her form was barely discernible, her face utterly unrecognizable, and her entire body bore the marks of teeth. Her eyes bulged grotesquely, and most of the flesh on her face had already fallen away, leaving a ghastly, bloody mass.

...

Now, Tangshan walked onto Dongli Bridge, feeling it was high time to check beneath the archway. Only by surveying the scene himself could he hope to decipher the meaning behind Jiang Suping’s words.

Bai Liyue looked at Liu Hao, who had come specifically to tell her the news, her face full of astonishment. She swallowed, disbelief coloring her tone as she asked, “What’s going on?”

“She’s here. Yu Tian just went through the security checkpoint,” Ji Ke said, glancing toward the entrance. Not seeing Yu Tian, he turned around, answering his phone as he walked out.

The lake on a summer night still held a chill. Yan Jiaojiao didn’t throw Bai Qianqian into the lake, but intended to toss her into a cold spring not far from the shore.

Li Mu was Li Lingfeng’s younger brother. With his own brother’s life under threat, why shouldn’t he act first to eliminate the danger? Or would he really wait until Changqing killed Li Mu before seeking revenge?

Exhilarated, Mo Zheng could only expend his fervor on them. Each person he trained was soon drenched in sweat, keenly aware that Mo Zheng’s mood was more intense than ever. No one dared ask if something had provoked him; instead, they exchanged glances, and suspicion quietly began to grow among them.

He was an Immortal Lord, and had his own pride. Before danger and foes, he would rather die in battle than kneel in defeat. That was his principle.

Bai Liyu Xiao nodded to Guihai Qingyang, who stood beside her. “I’ll ride for you to see. I’m going in now.”

Ye Ling nearly choked with anger; where had this child come from, calling her his mother? How could she possibly be old enough to have such a son? Yet, having been given a new lease on life, she told herself not to mind too much and silently comforted herself.

“That was the master’s order!” Mo Ling’er pressed her lips together. Back when she tortured Beichen, she’d felt remorse, and later when Mo Qisheng asked her to give Xu Zhao the Heavenly Fruit, she hadn’t hesitated.

No, it wasn’t ordinary pain—it was agony that tore at the soul, as if someone were gouging out his eyes with a knife. It was a torment so profound that one could neither live nor die, and it left his usually sharp mind unable to grasp the truth of what was happening.

“Colonel, may I ask where you intend to take Zhao Mu?” Li Shiyu demanded, her aura fierce; she showed not the slightest timidity before the officer.

There was silence on the other end of the line. After a while, the voice finally replied, “All right. Since you say so, Brother Nan, I’ll look into it again.” With that, the call ended.

A sudden roar shattered the silence. Throughout the forest, the beasts howled in waves. Lin Canghai immediately heard the rush of water echoing through the woods.

Almost at the same moment that Wang Yao and Zhao Yun, shocked, spotted the terrifying blood-red eye above their heads, the enormous shadow lurking at the top of the canyon leapt down.

“Big brother, why won’t you let me wipe out the Liu family in one fell swoop?” After a long silence, Du Fu finally couldn’t hold back his anger and questioned heatedly.

The Illusory Sea Divine Tree was also a source of powerful five-elemental magic, but it was still inferior to Gao Mingyi’s Holy Infant Spiritwood. The Illusory Sea Sacred Spring, too, was miraculous water for restoring vital energy.

“Forget it. You look like you’re enjoying yourself. Why be hypocritical about it? We’re all men—I understand,” interrupted Huang Yan, as Zhao Mu waved his hand knowingly.

The founding of the Xiao Sect would establish an immense new force in the Western Domain. The rise of this transcendent power would inspire awe in countless hearts. Once the Western and Northern Domains were united, the Xiao Sect would become even more formidable, and at that time, they would be seen as champions in the eyes of all.
