Chapter 27

Clang! At that very moment, the Clear Wind Sword was drawn, and a blade of light flashed through the air, its aura soaring like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Ma Shun’s request caught Cao Jixiang slightly off guard, but he quickly nodded in agreement. The other party wanted to pull both him and his foster father into this matter, so that if anything went wrong in the future, neither side could shirk responsibility. Everything still depended on the Embroidered Uniform Guards, so of course he dared not show any reluctance.

If they were to recklessly assault Jizhou City now, it would be no different from seeking their own doom—this was something Diesuda would never do. Even so, he was unwilling to retreat just yet.

Ye Xuan’s expression was grave, his brows tightly knit. It wasn’t just him; the other members of Liu Dingtian’s team also found the news hard to believe. But judging by the Four Demon Kings’ words, it hardly seemed like a lie—nor did he have any reason to fabricate such a story.

Yet as soon as he finished speaking, Ziche Niandao’s body, enveloped in starlight, gave a slight shudder, then fell still again, as if it had been a trick of the senses.

In this world, nations were rare. Cultivators refused to accept restraints; only mortals could be bound by the laws—and such bondage was often more grinding than any prison known to man.

“Haha! Old Shen, don’t be so polite. My son will be your son from now on—why be formal with your own child?” Yun Tianxiong laughed heartily from the side.

“No, no, I am merely a poet.” The violet-robed figure never showed his face, nor even his feet. Had it not been for the voice emanating from within, one might have suspected it was merely a floating robe.

Ilona wished to strike with her fist, but her hand seemed to belong to someone else, refusing her command.

The provincial government’s decision to suspend Jiang Anyi had no effect on his mood, for he knew he stood on unassailable ground. In the diary he sent, he related the events in a light, understated manner. There was no way to keep the truth from the Emperor, and he believed the Emperor already knew of his grievance.

Shang Liyou still hadn’t recovered from the final words spoken before Xia Jinxuan departed. What did Xia Jinxuan mean? Hadn’t he always wished for his death?

“Please tell Mr. Steve I apologize, but I truly must leave now.” Huo Lingfeng said coldly, then drove away without a backward glance.

Shuo Hai crouched low, settling into a stable horse stance. Reaching out, he knocked the flying ball of illusory power aside, sending it spinning away like a volleyball.

“I said enough!” Lang Mukai seemed to stir with genuine energy, roaring fiercely at Hua Rong. He grabbed Hua Rong’s hand, lifted it upward, and seized his shoulder with force.

Next, Senior Brother Ling Yu, Senior Brother Ling Jin, Bai Qi Ling, Senior Sister Ling Ge, and other leaders of various sects—all broke through the formation one by one.

Aside from these, Xiao Fei truly discovered nothing else special about the second layer.

She always claimed to be ruthless, but in truth, she never truly was! She believed her heart was as hard as steel, yet steel too can melt.

They looked at each other, then finally, two of the strongest stepped forward, placing their hands on Yun Yang’s neck. Sure enough, at the wound there lingered a dark aura, and even the faintest trace required them to hold their breath and concentrate to sense it.

Editor’s note: Silly goose, next time when seeing the doctor, remember to describe clearly where it hurts and what the symptoms are. Don’t be vague. Also, be careful in your actions—don’t forget to take the medicine and follow doctor’s orders. Pay more attention.

Without further words, Cold Flame blocked Poison Overwhelming’s two short swords with a single strike, then spun backward, parrying the rear hook of the Death Scythe as well.

Suddenly, Chen Jin burst out laughing, squinting as he tilted his head upward, staring unblinkingly at the bald man before him. Anyone who knew Chen Jin would recognize—he was about to lose his temper.

So I hurried toward the eastern wall. After a short walk, I spotted two elegant figures amid the misty bamboo grove—it was Yao Ji and Yan Wushuang.

Within the Beast Garden, there were no fewer than a thousand types of fierce birds. Huo’er and Doubao watched in awe, exclaiming at every turn.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Star Array stubbornly resisted, sending forth beams of starlight that decimated many of the Demon Army.

Below were the intimate photos she had taken from Yan Chen’s house, capturing their closeness from Yan Chen’s perspective.

For Xun Yu, these days spent at Liu Bei’s side were like walking on thin ice, having to guard against Liu Bei suddenly turning on him, while also completing the meticulous plans with Cao Cao in Xuzhou.

After a rough estimate, Su Chen figured they were several kilometers from the cave entrance, and there was no doubt this was a cavern.

She could hardly believe her prince was sitting right before her—Gong Qianqian felt as if she were dreaming.

“Ah Feng, it’s been a long time.” Seeing Gong Shaoxie approach the man in military uniform seated by the sofa, Xia Fangyuan hurried after him.

Mu Xiaoxia struggled, prompting him to tighten his grip. Finally, in a moment of pause, she fiercely raised her hand and slapped Ou Yuye across the face.

“Whoa!” Upon entering the room, Fu Yi let out an involuntary exclamation, but swallowed the rest of his words—after all, they were intruding.

If not for Wu Dao, Owl City wouldn’t have bothered speaking with Ye Yunfei, much less chatting. Wu Dao himself hadn’t expected such a situation—he’d been ready to act, but now it seemed a fight might not even break out! So he simply greeted the security guard before him.

And, as everyone predicted, Mutou Game was once again harshly suppressed by Thanos.

“What martial arts? Boring!” Chu Feng waved dismissively, then turned to the Tianshan Elder lying on the ground. Smiling, he ignored her struggles, picked her up, and cradled her in his arms.
