Su Mubai sprawled across Zhu Ziming’s shoulder, head turned to one side, protesting Zhu Ziming’s teasing with blood streaming from its nose.

In its eyes, although Gu Youran was countless times stronger than it, she had once been nothing more than an ordinary human.

After all, whether it was a swamp or a sheer cliff, people could at least see those with their own eyes. But as for the void of space, even mortals on this planet had no way to solve such a problem—let alone people in Earth’s technological age.

Not only Zhang Liao, but everyone else, too, gripped their weapons tightly. Their hands trembled a little; it was impossible to tell whether from fear or excitement.

“May I ask who’s calling?” Shi Jin could be fierce and unrelenting with his family, but he took great care to maintain his reputation in public. Whoever he was speaking to, he never let them sense the slightest shift in his mood. Besides, though the voice on the phone was unfamiliar, it was calm and gentle, not at all irritating.

In early April, King Seonjo of Joseon wrote to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, expressing his displeasure at Japan’s troop reinforcements in Busan. After receiving the letter, Hideyoshi dropped all pretense. Not only did he refuse to withdraw the reserve troops he had sent to Busan, he also assembled another army of a hundred and twenty thousand men and dispatched it to Joseon.

The thunderous roar briefly interrupted the battle. Everyone glanced curiously toward the source of the sound. They were curious about where it had come from, but that was all. The battle had to go on.

“Uncle, you’re terrifying! Don’t come any closer! I don’t want to die at the hands of an ugly brute like you!” Tears streamed from Rabok’s eyes as he shouted.

Still shaken, he shot Tie Xiang a sidelong glance. But the latter showed no reaction. He was utterly despondent and had no heart left to mock him.

When she woke again, she was already lying in her bedchamber in the Changchun Palace. Ming’er and Zhiqiu were keeping watch beside her.

By then, the giant beasts had scattered and vanished without a trace. Of the eleven of them, ten had grown enormous, while only Tang Can still had the body of an ordinary human. Tang Can’s heart was pounding wildly, and he could not hide his excitement.

“I’m still getting used to it. Luoluo, you can feed the chickens some wheat, or dig up a few earthworms for them,” Zhao Yuan said.

“I don’t know. The two of them started fighting, and I don’t know what happened to Mo Yan in the end,” Lawei said.

Damn it. He’d only said that because she’d driven him mad with anger. He would never actually let her leave.

By then, the Youguang Hall was beyond mere chaos. A large contingent of guards from the Marquis of Wude’s residence had surrounded the place. Madam An was still dressed in fine clothes, presiding with the bearing of a titled lady, but her pale face and conspicuously disheveled hair ornaments showed that even the Lady of Zhengye Commandery was beginning to panic.

Besides, she had always been the sort to take things as they came. When a benefit was right in front of her, she was sensible enough to seize it and hold on tight.

The horse’s hooves clattered on and on. After an unknown stretch of time, its pace finally slowed, then gradually came to a stop.

“Buy the courier boots first, then get a Ring of Basilius. We can decide on the rest of the gear later,” Liu Feng said.

Ye Leng suddenly seized Green Robe’s wrist. She had never expected anything like this and froze, forgetting even to pull her hand away.

By the time Feng Xiao came to his senses, the Cold Gate group had already gone far ahead. Gritting his teeth, Feng Xiao took a Blade of Alacrity from the old shopkeeper and hurried after them.

He was only in his thirties. If he could reach the peak of the Xiantian realm, his standing in the family would rise dramatically. He might even earn the favor of an elder who had attained the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, and at such a young age take up a high position in the clan.

Yet this was the reality now. When the Belos deity went from calm confidence in certain victory to a frenzied outburst of shock and terror, Gao Ang had already completely adapted to fighting within his divine domain.

The Hulk threw his arms wide and roared at the sky. A savage aura burst from him like a gale, sweeping across the surroundings and sending yellow sand billowing into the air.

After finishing her conversation with her people, Catherine turned and waved to Gao Ang and the others. She took out something resembling a compass and led the way out of the concealed building.

The legends did indeed say that the gods and demons who existed before Chaos were immune to all manner of magic. They had never witnessed such a thing before, so they had never believed the tale. But now, they could only recount the old legend with newfound doubt.

At some point, Wu Daguang had come out of Wu’s Restaurant and was watching Wang’s Restaurant from afar, looking as though he were enjoying the biggest joke in the world.

Gao Ang gave little thought to the name of the gang and simply called it the Eastern Sea Throne.

No one present was a fool. After hearing Daoist Changming’s explanation, quite a few people understood at once. Their faces lit with realization, and they turned on Hong Ying with a fresh round of scolding.

Li Lin was already so familiar with Hu Fei. This Hu Fei was certainly more than just the mayor of Wuling City.

Gu Nan spent several months in the Purple Firmament Realm, while several years passed in the Immortal-Demon World. At last, Lan Si emerged from seclusion and stepped into the fourth rank, fully merging with her divine core.

What was more, aside from shattering Mu Qingyue’s Profound Ice Arrow, most of Qin Wuxin’s sound blades had merged into the void. Sound was inherently formless; all the more so when the blades were unleashed by the genius of the Qin Yue Sect. Without exceptional perception, they were impossible to detect.

Everyone knew what would happen if the Northern Sea Defense Line fell. Under the circumstances, Jiang Yun, known as the God of War, continuing to oversee the central and southern regions had become an unshakable national imperative.

Brother Shan and Peng Zijiang were about to press their advantage when another man in black appeared. Both were startled. From the sound of it, he was an enemy of the injured man who had appeared earlier.
