Chapter 33: Heading Toward the Pond

"My apologies, but the young lady has declined. Since this gentleman has failed, the bid goes to the highest bidder. Who is it? Please raise your hand," the host announced.

Zhang Dabao of the Lingyun Sect suddenly realized that all these changes had begun with that young man in the red cloak.

As for long-range attacks, this mecha also possessed sonic weaponry. Intertwined with gravitational waves, the sound was nearly capable of shattering space itself.

At this moment, the entire sky grew even darker. Ren Bai flicked his long sword, unleashing a peerless silver radiance that slashed toward the centipede.

While Hua Hu probed for information, he secretly observed the expressions of Linglong and Weiyang. Seeing that they remained entirely composed, he felt much more at ease and became even more convinced that Wang Hao was a worthy man.

"Brother, a real man should know how to lose with grace. What is the point of being so unreasonable?" Wang Ningzhi said, forcing himself to remain calm.

Immediately, people nearby began to whisper, all of them siding with the three Yang siblings.

On the flying ship, Clairvoyant, Wind Listener, and the others stood in attendance, the two Celestial-realm cultivators showing not the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

Secondly, news of Su Zhonghe reaching the Super-Heaven level was something those in the know were aware of, but for those who did not, it remained a confidential matter.

Jianxiake pushed off with his feet and leapt upward with such force that it caused a crack to appear on the body of the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon phantom, which had been frozen into an ice sculpture by Wu Man'er.

Why did he suddenly disappear from before her eyes? Rize looked to the right in bewilderment, where a sudden pain flared. One of her kagune had vanished, but when? Could it be?

"Hmph, no matter how much you know, I will not let you live past today," the jailer said in a low voice before lunging forward to seize Wang Ping'an.

After hearing Li Er's verdict, the members of the Dou family and Chen Yifeng’s group all collapsed to the ground. Several began kowtowing desperately for mercy, but it was to no avail; they were dragged away by the burly, armored Imperial Guards.

When the boy's words reached Lu Yun's ears, he was momentarily stunned. It seemed this boy not only lacked intelligence but also had a penchant for doing the opposite of what was expected. Could it be that those with the surname Yu had a streak of idiocy in their blood?

"Grandfather, what’s wrong?" Mengmeng stared at the old man’s weathered face with curiosity. If she remembered correctly, her grandfather’s face had shifted from green to purple, then to red, and finally back to green. She did not recall her grandfather ever learning such a face-changing magic art.

Ning Yue could not believe that his simple soul-wandering had led him here.

A golden glint shone in his eyes; clearly, he had made another breakthrough in these three days. Such speed was truly shocking.

"If the Black Dragon intervenes in this matter, wouldn't we be in an even worse position?" This time it was Anpu Qingzi who spoke, though the others had realized it as well.

Kruse was briefly surprised by the toughness of the Hanyuxu’s skin, but it was merely a fleeting surprise. He tightened his grip on his sword, and battle energy surged into the blade.

The injured Lü Dongsheng and the others, including the Buddhist disciple, turned pale and hastily retreated. Passing by the spot where Shennong Jin lay, Lü Dongsheng hoisted him up and instantly distanced them by a hundred meters.

"Old Hu, take him out for a real meal," Li Zili finally set down his wine cup and let out a long sigh.

Just as Han Rongrong approached Xiang Que, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace and covered her eyes with his left hand. Simultaneously, he flicked a cluster of Samadhi True Fire from his right hand onto the skeleton on the ground.

However, this departure took her beyond the range of the Wuji Jade Slip's connection to me. The jade turned into a beam of light, flying from her body back to my wrist, where it transformed into that jade bracelet.

Millions of archers riding pterodactyls, giant rocs, great eagles, and various other flying beasts rose from the ground like layers of dark clouds, swooping down with a thunderous roar.

A few ghosts who caught the scent of blood tried to skulk over to find the source, but Leng Moyuan released a wave of pressure that made every ghost aware of his presence. Not daring to act recklessly, they slunk away in dismay.

"Could it be that creature from the legends that gains weight just by drinking water?" A mocking smile played on his lips.

As for Zeze, upon hearing this, he did not get angry. He merely widened his dark, bright eyes, tilted his head slightly, and stared fixedly at Ying Lili, as if trying to decipher some hidden meaning in her words.

"The boss is heroic and peerless, unmatched in the world!" His subordinates began to flatter their captain. Spiky was very pleased and began posing, showing off his steel-like, perfect muscles.

Her expression was as calm as water, and not a trace of emotion could be seen in her eyes. But I knew that for someone who buried their feelings so deeply, once they exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lu Lin was not a true expert in appraising treasures and did not know that this was a unique time-mark characteristic of ancient artifacts.

This phrase was a term from the art of divination, summarized by ancient ancestors from their observations of the movements and changes of the five major planets.

Such a phenomenon was naturally related to the combat styles on both sides, or more accurately, to their recovery abilities.

Fortunately, Mu Ying had only gone back to replenish her mana, and the elders of the Mu family could not stop her. Thus, like a relay, she and Yan Qianrong returned in quick succession; one had just left, and the other had already arrived.
