Du Jun easily withdrew the rusty blade, as if the rusty knife had merely come to take a look and led him here. Holding the rusty blade, Du Jun’s eyes flickered; this rusty knife originated from the Evil Tower—could there be some connection between this place and the Evil Tower?

“I can’t, I can’t!” The man lost focus, murmuring softly as he staggered backward a few steps, slowly lowering the long sword he had raised.

The man’s complaints were cut short because several ghouls appeared at that moment, surrounding the two of them. The fresh scent of blood provoked them into low growls, then the ghouls transformed into streaks of shadows, lunging at the two.

Hunting Heaven’s eyes widened at the words, and he immediately leapt up, slapping Du Jun on the head with a sharp “smack,” scolding, “You useless thing, what are you so scared of?” Then he raised his hand again to strike, his expression one of frustrated disappointment.

“I’m not negotiating with you right now.” Grandmother Ai’s voice turned cold—what had been indifferent before now became as sharp and hard as a blade.

A flash of Buddhist aura passed by and vanished, like the stench of a corpse sealed in a coffin that only surged briefly when the lid was opened.

The Demon Child glanced at Du Jun and suddenly said, “This journey to the Immortal Realm, I wonder if it’s a blessing or a curse...” With those words, he disappeared into the swirling wind.

Almost the most precious meditation mat, it was covered with filth and had been casually abandoned in the forest.

Almost at the same moment, the wild boar let out a louder roar, wielding two massive stone hammers to launch an attack ahead of the others.

Miao Shulan’s face was extremely pale; her once delicate features were pitifully ravaged by Jiang Ye’s merciless words. If it had been another man, perhaps he might have felt some pity, but unfortunately, she had encountered Jiang Ye.

Those behind were terrified. One blood corpse was already hard enough to deal with, and now another person from the No-Life Sect appeared. How would everyone survive now?

At that moment, Fu Guibao ran over, shouting, “Sichuan pepper powder, I brought it! Huh, he’s already unconscious!” He held a handful of Sichuan pepper powder in each hand—just as Li Rizhi had asked him to find.

Yet Lü Bu still stared blankly at Diao Chan, while Diao Chan smiled gently at Lü Bu, as if none of this had anything to do with him, Lü Fengxian.

Ning Xiu inwardly sighed; indeed, those who could serve in the Jin Yi Wei were all ruthless individuals. The phrase “set fire to the mountain” came from Ling Yidao’s mouth as easily as killing a chicken.

Behind them, Fu Guibao and Chen Yingying nodded silently. Li Rizhi began to bluff again; probably with one more sentence, Lady Wang Qiu would faint and say whatever they wanted, and it would all be the truth—no need to worry about lies.

Thus, the emperor could solve the matter with a casual remark, and Empress Wu would pretend to admire him. Such a difficult political issue resolved instantly—“Your Majesty, you are truly incredible,” they would lavish praise, making the emperor pleased.

With a “pfft!” sound, the elder’s beast bone struck, piercing the cult disciple beside him.

Shao Yu and Shi Lan were shocked again; Tian Ming really was a unique character! Neither of them smelled any scent at all.

Because of this trait, mermaids had formed symbiotic relationships with many powerful magical creatures in the ocean. Through millions of years of directed evolution, the mermaids had even evolved into a treasure beneficial to all living beings.

Cheng Lingzhi paused in thought, pinching her chin. If Situ Haoyu spoke, what were the chances that the old man would change his mind?

Miyaji Yi issued an order to leave. Feeling low and unwell, citing illness and the need to rest, ultimately Ji Younai, Miyaji Yu, and Su Xing had no choice but to depart.

Bored from staying in the inner world, Su Yang wanted to go out for a walk. Xianzhu obviously disagreed, but her opinion seemed to have no effect on Su Yang.

That residence was a temporary lodging arranged in Anshun by Qiao Sheng for Mo Linyuan. The environment was quite elegant, but only a few old women cleaned it regularly; no master lived there.

The next morning, Dujima Saeko awoke, having successfully ascended to a fifth-rank warrior. The gap between fifth and fourth rank was enormous; Dujima Saeko clearly felt she had grown much stronger.

“Still not full?! Tianyi, you ate all the ingredients for tomorrow!” Xingchen wondered. Usually, Luo Tianyi ate that much outside and it was enough—what was going on today?

Xianyu picked out a blue agate bracelet—not because it was exquisite, but because each bead’s color was very uniform, making the skin appear fair when worn on the wrist.

Naruto looked at the solitary Kankuro sitting apart, puzzled, “The people of the Wind Country have already left—why is he still here?”

Opposing him was the ancient ancestor, one of the creators of the world, Hongjun, the ancient master who governed light and justice.

A city without walls was like a delicious cake. After a single artillery platform on the ground was destroyed, the entire Yuding City was exposed before the allied forces.
