Chapter 157: Hongjun Breaks the Deadlock

Haotian and Yaochi were defeated one after another.

Meanwhile, the three immortals and four divine monarchs who followed them were unable to withstand the enemy and were likewise defeated.

However, although the four divine monarchs—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—corresponded to celestial phenomena and possessed extraordinary origins, their combined strength alone was completely no match for the Giant Spirit God. Due to the vast disparity in power and lacking the resolve to fight to the death, the four divine monarchs chose to surrender to Dichang upon realizing they could not win.

The Azure Dragon, leader of the Four Symbols, said, "Divine..."

"I know, so I'm leaving now." He Yu placed the letter on my quilt and turned to walk out.

As for the severed tongue mentioned by Ye Xuan, they found it hard to believe; yet the fact that he could send the freeloading parasite fleeing in a spurt of blood was enough to shock everyone.

In that fleeting instant, as if cold water had been poured over my head to awaken me, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: Wasn't I supposed to go up there and lure those malevolent phantoms down?

A heaven-shaking roar seemed to make the entire Four Directions Continent tremble. The golden light and black Qi collided and vanished into nothingness simultaneously, while the black Qi enveloping the mainland gradually dissipated.

"So what if I've been discovered? Could it be that I'm afraid of them? You probably still don't realize—no matter how low my realm may appear, with this full set of magical treasures I possess, even in the celestial realm, fewer than ten people below the level of Golden Immortal could ever be my match, let alone here in the mortal realm," Huang Tianhua said with absolute confidence.

Before long, Long Yuewu's flesh and blood had been completely devoured, leaving nothing behind in the black Qi save for a grim, white skeleton.

Lin Jing instructed me not to wander about and told me to wait for him at the factory until he got off work to pick me up. Having nothing to do in the office, I looked at the phone in front of me, pondered for a moment, and dialed Lin Tian's number.

Before Li Bei could reply, You Shilu had already strode out, paying no further heed to Li Bei and the others. His son, You Renlong, snatched up the official military report that You Shilu had discarded and gave chase.

"Well, um, I was just joking earlier, everyone please don't take it to heart," Zhang Dewuhui laughed awkwardly, attempting to gloss over the matter.

This patch of black fog was merely a few thousand meters in expanse, which to thirty Nine Profound Realm martial artists was tantamount to having their hands and feet bound. Yet to the martial artists of the Demon Realm, it felt like fish taking to water.

"Right! When the time comes, we must personally kill this old bastard!" Gu Yingmei and the Duanmu sisters said with heavy nods.

Xiaoxiao had originally intended to refuse, but after thinking it over, she finally nodded and agreed.

"Yes, what you say is entirely correct! But this is China, and you must learn how to deal with officials, especially that bunch of greedy and inefficient bureaucrats, even if you are a hermit!" W.A.P. Martin, having spent so many years in China, had truly experienced it all.

With bodyguards at the Dark Force stage from Phantom Security Company protecting Liu Yifei by her side, they could even use their own bodies to shield her from bullets when the time came, ensuring her safety could be completely guaranteed.

Jin Yi could not help but be slightly startled, greeting this good friend whom he had not seen for some time.

Pang Yuan's words left Pang Xi utterly speechless. Although he still felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, Pang Xi did not immediately express his stance, yet his resolve had already been shaken. Pang Yuan, however, did not press him aggressively.

At this thought, Chen Changsheng tilted his head slightly, and two more rings lit up among the multicolored halos above his crown, separating into the bright yellow of Yang Earth and the dark yellow of Yin Earth.

Upon hearing this, the waitress was struck speechless for a moment. As for asking her to come up with a good solution, she truly could not think of one; after all, the order stating that Xu Jianxing would receive no visitors was right there. She certainly would not dare to violate that command.

Seeing this, the long-bearded Taoist priest showed no anxiety. Instead, he sneered coldly, formed a hand seal, and the three azure banners instantly unfurled, allowing the golden spear and fiery blade to penetrate deep. Following that, they converged in a Three Talents formation, trapping the golden spear and fiery blade tightly within.
