Volume One, Chapter 54: Liu Ruyan in Peril!

Faced with the intense gazes of the three women, Ye Feng couldn’t help but scratch his head. Even though he had always held himself to strict standards as a devoted admirer, never treating any of the women as his personal possessions, the current atmosphere of tension left him somewhat troubled.

Feng Niang’s contributions were not to be underestimated. She had just uncovered the Yin-Yang Sword Pill, a rare and exquisite spiritual artifact, and had also brought him a top-tier sword cultivation secret technique, giving his Yin-Yang Sword Pill the chance to evolve into a treasured magical weapon. Moreover, witnessing Mo Yun’s tireless efforts to defend Iron City, and seeing how the townsfolk were united in their determination to protect their homeland, made the nationwide mobilization entirely understandable.

“It’s Sun, the owner of Sun’s Tavern! He’s been here several times already. When you weren’t around, he just left,” Xiao Shangrong explained.

“You can’t say it like that. It’s more like weakness. Look, he’s even sweating from his head—that’s a cold sweat,” Lady Guizi smiled.

At present, Yang Tang controlled sixty percent of the country. Naturally, the Li faction understood that losing Bashu was unacceptable. Should Hanzhong fall, Yang Xuanning could directly cross the pass and attack Chang’an, leaving no hope for Guanzhong.

Gradually, it became clear that the Cihang Jingzhai had held supreme status and power for centuries, deriving its strength from the hundreds of thousands of monks across countless temples.

This time, Zhang Yaming did not attempt to engage Jimmy in a psychological battle at the outset. Instead, he immediately raised the bid by half a million, adding fifty thousand each time.

“In that regard, Brother Hou truly embodies the image of a graceful youth, unparalleled in charm and elegance!” This was no exaggeration. Even Zhang Xuanning could be considered handsome and carried an extraordinary aura, but in terms of finer details, he could not compare to Hou Xibai, the heir of the Huajian Sect, whose meticulously honed appearance and demeanor were nearly flawless.

However, the soldiers showed no fear; each was spirited and eager, as if wishing for wings to immediately fly to the western regions.

Having no choice, I agreed. Along the way, I briefly recounted the incident to the Fatty, warning him not to act rashly or recklessly—no crashing in like during the previous raid. Everything must be done according to my signals.

Cao nervously looked at Cao Chong’s expectant eyes, then glanced up at his mother and toward his grandfather, Cao Cao, who was watching them. Hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded but still hid behind Lady Zhen.

When these words were spoken, not only was Xiang Jingxi slightly stunned, but everyone in the manor was also taken aback, speculating about the identity of this young man daring enough to openly tease the Xiang family’s esteemed presence. Did he not fear death?

Yet this set of arguments was not the same for the revered swordmaster Wu Long. He did not simply regard famed swordsmen and unknown novices as two opposing viewpoints.

Just as in the peaceful era we live in now, so much freedom and peace have been won through bloodshed. True liberty and peace are never achieved merely by words; they require resisting invasion and all forms of oppression against humanity.

But now, looking over, the bodies of the Earth Dragon lay sprawled at the center of the arena, surrounded by scattered corpses of monstrous beasts.

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation in his lower body. A stunningly beautiful right leg struck with pinpoint accuracy toward his midsection.

On their way back, the two saw Li Youxue once again donning her blue wig, the floral tattoo also reapplied. She walked along, touching up her makeup as she went.

The ferocity of Zhuang Taibai and Fang Tianming’s attacks was overwhelming. Both struck with full force, leaving no room for Yi Wudao to survive even a moment. Before the technique fully landed, the sheer majesty of their assault had already slammed Yi Wudao to the ground, immobilized.

Paul aspired to surpass the Asura King Wei. In his heart, Wei was his war god but also the one he wished to outdo. If he could surpass the Asura King, his strength would increase dramatically. Just thinking of this filled him with excitement.
