Chapter 20

"Mr. Nie, we are members of the Special Task Force from the Bureau of Occult Investigation. I am the captain, Xu Feng," said Xu Feng.

Due to the recent use of the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique, combined with the Great Rasengan used to counter the Deep Forest Emergence, Naruto’s chakra was severely depleted, leaving him on the verge of fading away at any moment.

Without waiting for Li Chi’s command, they abandoned the siege of the Hexi infantry, turned, and charged forward to meet the enemy.

"It’s a dead end. What do you think we should do?" Luo Fei looked at Tao Yuan and Li Hui. Before them lay a waterfall; though not particularly high or difficult to climb, it was essentially just a drop in the mountain stream.

After Brother Dao and Feixue finished inspecting all of T-City, he left the trivial matters to Feixue and her team, while he himself dialed Lu Tianlong’s number.

With a crisp dragon’s roar, the thirty-foot-long spear in Koden’s hand seemed to come alive like a resurrected dragon, charging forward with a deafening bellow. The fused power of thunder and fire elements failed to inflict even the slightest scratch upon it.

After finishing his sentence, Kōgami stared straight into my eyes. I, however, was completely bewildered. What on earth was this about? I hadn’t understood a single word President Kōgami had said.

Arriving at a secluded grove, a ninja had already been waiting for a long time. He was a subordinate of the Vengeful Samurai, known as "Fire Ninja" Sinubi.

Just then, a blood-stained claw grabbed Darrin’s wrist—it was actually Lelia.

Tang Qingyi was also very excited at this moment, looking proudly at his soldiers, completely oblivious to Qi Kexue’s strange behavior.

"Chen Xiao, why don't you bring out that Elixir of Immortality you have and let me have a look?" I suddenly mused.

Sima Zhongcheng followed Zhao Chengzong into the great hall. Zhao Chengzong immediately ordered fine tea to be served and showered him with enthusiastic praise, warming Sima Zhongcheng’s heart and leading him to sigh that Zhao Chengzong was indeed a magnanimous and hospitable man.

That day, he was brought out by the security guards holding him captive, who told him that the commander of the security forces, Zhang Chu, wanted to see him.

"You! Who exactly are you? Where did you take the uncle!" Zhang Minyu started, his mind snapping back as he asked nervously and angrily.

Just as Yang Zhan was feeling disappointed, Yan Chisu, on the other side of the cliff, suddenly began to dance again. Looking closely, the sword forms were exactly the same as before. Yet, Yang Zhan did not grow tired of it; instead, he watched with pleasure until she finished the entire sequence and departed.

After hearing Zhang Chu’s words, Cao Huachun felt somewhat relieved. Fighting the Later Jin was the right thing to do, and as long as he wasn't involved in the rebellion, that was fine. He hadn't expected this Wang Cheng to be capable of taking to the battlefield.

It goes without saying that tomb raiders aren't afraid of zombies, yet grave robbers are indeed terrified of them. If one can avoid encountering them, that is, of course, for the best.

Wu Xianying thought about it and realized it was true. After all, Wu Fengyu was only at the Primordial Spirit Realm; he could only subdue spirit beasts of that level. Dreaming of subduing beasts at the Integration or Void realms would be pure folly.

"However, no matter what, with the God of the Ruined Dragon, I have the strength to contend with Golden Core human immortals!" The eyes of the Ruined Dragon God were filled with violent cruelty.

In a single breath, the masked man had unleashed over a dozen moves upon him, each one completely different from the last.

Suddenly, the entire audience burst into laughter, followed by waves of cheers for TY. As they applauded him, he raised his hands in a highly arrogant gesture of celebration.

"What is your purpose in doing this?" A cold glint flashed in Duan Ke’s eyes, as if he might kill Catherine at any moment. Catherine was startled by Duan Ke’s demeanor, and her body, which had been leaning in, trembled slightly, yet she still moved toward him with unwavering resolve.

At that moment, a sound echoed in Su Mu’s mind. As it appeared, those who had rushed forward thinking there was no danger were all suddenly struck in the chest by vines, just as Su Mu had been.

As the three of them landed on a rocky outcropping, they exchanged words. Two of them bowed repeatedly to the middle-aged cultivator—who stood with a nod and a smile, his brow marked with a touch of gray and his eyes filled with sharp brilliance—before thanking him and departing shortly after.

"That is not the problem! The issue now is how to withstand the offensive from the Chen State..." Zihan’s words silenced everyone.

Knowing that this strike would not achieve his desired outcome, nor would it be simple enough to kill these two cultivators instantly, he did this merely to carve out a path of survival for himself.

"I never thought you’d come to understand me better and better, brother." Duan Ke laughed heartily before recounting the story regarding Zhao Zhi.

"Then let’s not delay. I will go find the Jade Emperor immediately and have him grant you an official position," said the Wusheng Laomu.

Luo Wusheng’s earnest and meticulous demeanor genuinely amused Diwu Mo. "Hahaha... good!" After saying this, Diwu Mo stopped being coy and picked up his chopsticks to eat breakfast.

Luo Wusheng paused, stretched the corners of his mouth toward his ears with effort, slowly turned around, tilted his head, and looked at Diwu Mo, asking with his eyes: What is it?

Bing Yi said nothing more; his body began to tremble, and sweat poured off him like water. His clothes and the ground grew damp, yet the sweat continued to emerge, forming a pool on the floor. You Luo watched with amusement, touched the water with his hand, and found it lacked any salty taste. Lu Min then touched the water-stained hand to You Luo’s mouth.

Immediately after, cracks began to appear on the middle-aged man’s face. Wisps of blood seeped from the fissures, one eye drifted to the left, and the other eyeball fell out of its socket, hanging only by a single blood vessel.

A massive bolt of lightning struck without warning, tearing through the firmament and illuminating the sky with blinding intensity.
