Volume 1, Chapter 49: The Final Round of Matching!
Although the sentence remained unfinished, these individuals already understood Zhu Houzhao's implication. Such a monumental matter was being ignored by them—could it be that someone was colluding with the murderer and intentionally trivializing a grave crime?
Taking advantage of this widely watched martial arts challenge event, many powerful martial artists had been drawn in, preparing to seize the opportunity to make their presence known in the pugilistic world.
While picking up food with his chopsticks, Zhu Houwei casually asked, "Want to find out if you could still see with two quail eggs placed in your eye sockets?" Hearing this, Zhu Yuan immediately straightened his posture, dedicating himself solely to the dishes on the table, turning a deaf ear to everything else.
Due to the participants' stamina limitations, the martial arts bouts were scheduled over a relatively long period, spanning roughly two and a half days, with the final results announced on the evening of the third day. The morning of the fourth day would feature the grand handover ceremony between the former and the new supreme alliance leaders, and by the afternoon, the assembly would officially conclude, with all attendees returning to their respective homes.
In an instant, everyone cast looks of deep admiration toward the Immortal King Quanfeng, and even the Azure Wolf Immortal King and the Yuanfang Immortal King were no exception.
As Gu Xiao unleashed his Innate Formless Sword Qi of Body Breakdown, the sword qi surged forth instantly like an overwhelming deluge. Countless rays of sword energy shot directly toward Xiaoyaozi, resembling a volley of ten thousand arrows and carrying an unimaginable, destructive might.
Naturally, at a time like this, many people preferred to stay behind and keep watch by the aircraft because it contained food and water, and being inside was unquestionably much safer than remaining outside. In a totally unknown place like this, no one could predict what hidden perils might lurk.
Their annoyance toward Wang Yu diminished slightly as a result, shifting instead into resentment toward the Lunar Demon Palace. If the Lunar Demon Palace could have been more resolute, and if their members hadn't acted as guides, how could Wang Yu have so easily located the domain of the Solar Demon Palace?
The accelerator inside the unmanned vehicle automatically depressed to the floor, instantly escalating its speed from eighty miles per hour to over two hundred.
Yecang's mind suffered a severe shock; everything unfolding before her eyes completely shattered her worldview.
They had not deployed the Heavenly War God Formation right from the start. After all, against enemies deemed too weak, there was simply no need to resort to such a divine formation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang辰 felt as though he had been struck by lightning. Countless years had passed since the Xuanhuang Great World had last produced an Emperor Realm Sovereign.
Although the Imperial Soul Temple's intervention this time was ostensibly provoked by Jiangchen entering the dimensional rift to leave the Endless Continent, it still left the Holy Academy utterly humiliated.
That was a finger as pristine and flawless as white jade, appearing as though it could be snapped with the slightest effort.
In the path of cultivation, you can certainly proceed entirely on your own step by step, but when it comes to the art of alchemy, having a good master will undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort.
Suddenly, as if drawn by some mysterious attraction, a mass of clouds surged downward, pressing heavily toward the Frost Leaf Immortal Abode. Without encountering the slightest resistance, it descended directly into the Floating Light Immortal Flame Cauldron within the artifact-crafting chamber.
"He wants to rent out two of the bedrooms, so I figured we could rent one!" Seeing that Shangguan Wenhui still hadn't grasped her meaning, Song Ruoxuan bluntly stated it.
"Wait a moment!" Although Xiang Zuo was still torn in his heart, looking at it from another perspective, learning the identities of the domestic sleeper agents in Huaxia from Vivian could also be considered an act of service to his country and people.
As for the victorious Five Elements Spirit Clan, given their evasive speed, they would undoubtedly be unable to catch up with his Flashing Light and Gliding Shadow technique, and the chances of them even detecting it were exceedingly slim. By then, he would have the complete freedom to advance or retreat at will.
Without any visible movement from Jiangchen, the sword box on his back opened on its own, and the Heaven-Punishing Sword erupted forth with the force of a volcanic explosion.
No longer able to remain by his side, she defied her family's objections and entered the entertainment industry, becoming a household name. Yet, all she truly desired was simply to appear within his field of vision from time to time. It wasn't that she didn't realize he was drifting further and further away from her; she was simply trapped beyond escape within the prison she had constructed for him alone.
Hearing the door rattle, the prison guard hastily stepped out of the duty room. Upon looking, he saw it was actually the chief warden accompanied by three subordinates conducting their routine cell inspections.
He then surfaced from the ground in a direction opposite to Night Wind and his companions, fleeing toward the distant horizon.
Wounds of this nature only grew more agonizing the more they were pressed. Forcing out the stagnant blood would do nothing to heal the injury, but it at least temporarily halted its further deterioration.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anyway since we're going to be staying here for a few days! We can just check it out tomorrow or the day after." Lio clearly didn't mind the absence of a mission; for him, undertaking tasks was far more about the fun than making money.
The weather was turning cold. Although one could not feel the biting chill inside the base and lacked a sense of reality, the human biological clock seemed to stubbornly follow previously established patterns, making people increasingly drowsy day by day, unable to shake off their exhaustion no matter how much they slept.
Although it was already midnight, he still summoned his trusted guards, ordered horses to be prepared, and woke two deputy commanders from their sleep to brief them on camp affairs. Accompanied by merely twenty elite guards, he spurred his horse away from Chenzhou, rushing toward Hengyang like a whirlwind.
"No, Qiao Neng, why are you doing this? What are you trying to trade with her?" Nie Wanluo grabbed Qiao Neng in desperate anxiety.
As the wounds tore open and blood flowed freely, the stamina they had just recovered began to plummet rapidly. Before long, the soldiers' steps grew weak and unsteady.
Though it was late autumn, it should not have been this bone-chillingly cold. Moreover, Tie Cheng was an adept martial artist with profound internal energy, possessing a resistance to severe frost far surpassing ordinary mortals. Yet, even with his constitution, the ageless mature woman was still able to sit there laughing and chatting casually, seemingly immune to the piercing cold. How could this not be bizarre?
Xiao Shengfang and Chunyu Pipi exchanged a glance before simultaneously turning their gazes toward Mo Langyue, their eyes filled with unyielding determination.
The imperial family's dignity was swept into the dust, the common people took it as a source of amusement, and the imperial physicians of the current dynasty spent their days trembling in fear, feeling as though every moment dragged on like a year.
The shopping mall was holding a special afternoon promotional event, which explained the earlier rush of people trying to make transactions at the ATM.
Taiming released his grip on the wooden staff, yet it mysteriously hovered suspended in mid-air. Then, channeling his internal energy into both palms, Taiming pushed forward with ferocious force! The expanding aura burst forth completely, hurtling straight toward the judge.
At this moment, Shaoyu looked as though he had just emerged from a fierce battle. Then Shilan appeared; she had grown up, and adorned in magnificent attire, she looked as radiant and dazzling as a glowing night pearl, so brilliant that it seemed capable of casting a shadow over the entire world.
Upon seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, Wang Ben fell into a momentary daze. He suddenly realized that he had apparently been manipulated by someone, unwittingly playing his part in someone else's meticulously orchestrated drama.
The military commanders on Yuan Shu's side instantly drew their blades and leveled their spears, filling the command tent with an explosive, hair-trigger atmosphere.
Taiming remarked, "In the presence of such a breathtaking battle, don't you feel that discussing matters like this is a complete waste?" In Taiming's judgment, this person possessed immense martial prowess, and until their true motives were ascertained, it was best not to prematurely reveal his own intentions.
