Chapter 84: Is This How You View a Hero?

The Qionghua Sect was vast beyond measure, akin to a colossal stone monolith, nourished year after year by the spiritual veins of Mount Kunlun.

Dragged up by Luo Xia, the two had no time to wonder at the strange man suddenly appearing behind them. Glancing at the werewolf gradually taking shape, they fled toward the basement exit without a backward look.

"Remember this: never let the demon reach the depths of your heart," Mu Qingge warned.

Seeing Shi Lingyi’s genuine aversion, Qingyu realized she truly did not want him, so he released his grip on his robe. Now, his chest half-exposed, in the dim room, his disheveled appearance held a certain allure.

With Shi Lingyi’s return, Qiu unexpectedly took a tumble and lost a tooth—he really was a harbinger of misfortune.

The black phoenix transformed, towering several fathoms high, overshadowing the gigantic sword in the sky, blotting out light. With a sweep of its wings, it seemed poised to rend the heavens themselves.

Xiao Zhiling gave Liu Beibei no chance to refuse. Liu Beibei lowered her head, troubled at heart; she lacked Xiao Zhiling’s pride and self-assurance.

For them, tonight was full of delightful surprises. All of it owed to Zheng Rui. Though Zheng Rui rarely paid them any heed, simply glancing at their singing and dancing before leaving, everyone knew well who the real benefactor was.

That man was the renowned Jin Guozhong of South Korea. He was good friends with Cai Yan, and seeing her instructing the juniors, he came over.

Under attack by the Mexican SWAT team, the convoy of Hummers was forced to halt on the road; the lead military vehicle swung sharply off the main path under a hail of machine-gun fire.

The short man dodged Chen Chen’s punch, and then his older brother suddenly appeared, delivering a blow of his own. Chen Chen, unable to evade, crossed his arms and braced himself for the impact.

"No, no, it’s just a request of mine. If you’re unwilling, forget it," Chen Chen hurriedly explained.

That day at the racetrack, Ye Xintong handed over the invitation, but Bo Muxu gave no response—Ye Zhuoli was clearly uneasy.

Had Roman been the only Sequence-8 present, who knows if the evil spirit would have chosen to negotiate instead?

He never easily mocked others or made veiled insinuations; all his words and deeds were those of a gentleman.

Sheriff Gordon pondered for a moment, but as he looked up, Batman had vanished.

Moreover, Roman had no urgent needs at present, so the pirate convention was not a pressing concern.

As long as the staff, police, coroner, and media insisted that Ogdo Singer died by suicide out of guilt, then that would remain the official cause.

Cao Bin and Du Shiniang were playing Go around a stone table while Li Yun reported business matters to Li Shishi at the side.

Yet lately, Chen Chen felt the medicines Mo Zhongji prepared for him were increasingly peculiar. He couldn’t say why, but something seemed wrong with his master’s prescriptions.

"If you don’t eat soon, I’ll return all these clothes," Lin Nan threatened fiercely, seeing her absentminded demeanor.

A hint of amusement flickered in Hou Yu’s eyes. Of course he understood Lu Yuxuan’s intentions. Though his strength had improved, he was still no match for her, and so could only use such tactics to disrupt her composure.

Within the starlight was an aura of annihilation so terrifying that even Chongjie and Mitsufune, standing at a distance, felt their skin tighten.

"I understand what you mean. Rest assured, I’ll consider it carefully." Xu Qing, who had felt some resistance, was stunned at the mention of children. After a silent pause, he nodded.

Immediately, the two contrasting energies stored in their hands surged unguarded into the Snake King’s body. After the blow, both retreated swiftly, distancing themselves from him.

The long sword opened a new wound on Zhang Yiming’s right shoulder, blood streaming out.

As the great blade drew near, the High Priest waved his right hand lightly, as if brushing away the breeze, yet with immense force. Two fingers flicked out, striking the blade’s edge.

On the green meadow surrounded by towering trees, a gentle breeze swept across, the palm-high grass swaying in waves, thick and thin.

"Chairman, please take care and rest," Liu Rumeng replied, turning to leave.

After striking with three fingers, Su Chen did not stop but sat cross-legged to continue comprehending the remaining five. Only three fingers could rival a second-tier Xuan Wheel practitioner; but to fight for a place among the Star Rankings’ hundred stars, it was not enough.

Su Chen’s smile faded, replaced by a somber look. The outer regions of the Desolate Realm were fraught with danger. The Cracking Tiger was merely the lowest grade of Xuan Beast in the outskirts, and even the Two-Headed Xuan Snake was not the strongest.

Chang Lin’s mind worked rapidly—his drunkenness had vanished entirely. He knew he had fallen into a meticulously laid trap.

He was utterly shocked, for he sensed beside the youth a terrifying aura of explosion brewing. Only the Celestial Realm’s "Heaven-Shattering Array" was said to possess such power, capable of igniting and detonating a fearsome formation.

Bianpao truly did not wish to abandon him, but after absorbing so much moonlight, the man’s body had grown far larger than before. How could they possibly move him?

Ye Ya’s gaze was fixed on a single spot—the path the crowd passed through. She noticed a twisted symbol there.

Just then, Tianwu Academy finally announced the matter concerning its treasures.

All three were panting. Su Yichen asked me, "It was pitch-black—how did you know the way, or that there was a door?"

But Lu Yu remained dissatisfied; he hoped Zhao Qianqian and her three fellow peak Martial Lords could each face a peak Martial Lord beast alone.

Chang Yu missed with her sword, but without raising her eyes, she flicked the blade and struck again at the youth in white.

Yang Dong suddenly threw two punches. The two boys felt a sharp pain in their noses, their heads dizzy, stumbling back two steps. When they touched their noses, their hands came away bloody.
