Volume 1, Chapter 30: What Are You Being So Delicate About Again?

For some special reason, the maker of this imitation treasure had specifically marked it as a replica, to prevent anyone from misunderstanding.

“I hope so. If I’m still alive after taking my revenge, I’ll definitely celebrate with you!” Tian Zihang had never expected his reunion with Li Chao to be so peaceful. He had thought they would engage in a fierce battle, but instead they had ended up confiding in each other.

When Hu Yaoguang heard Li Chao say this, he was just about to speak, but Hu Ya城 beat him to it.

“A reward? Of course I want it. But could you hold on to it for me first? That settles it, then. I’ll be leaving now.” Wang Ping’an spoke as he walked, and in the end fled the square before the Hall of Diligent Governance as though escaping for his life.

Muttering to himself, he vanished from the spot. He had actually used the Seven Steps on Clouds in an instant.

Magistrate Wan slowly raised his head and glanced at Wang Ping’an. Thinking of all he had done in the past, he knew that even ten lives would not be enough to atone for his crimes. Worst of all, if the people behind him discovered that he had betrayed them, they would not only spare him; they would not spare his family either.

“Sorry, but I have no habit of drinking before a major battle. I’m not like certain people who get dead drunk every time on the day before taking command of an army and end up ruining everything.” Bai Qizhong’s voice was cold.

Li Chao and Tang Xiaoxiao shared a vehicle with Elder Huang. The two sat in the back, watching section after section of railway flash past the windows. After passing the site of the train explosion, they finally reached the foot of Withered Mountain, where rows of camouflage military tents came into view.

Two hurried days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Ning Yue and the others were all at Listening-Rain Peak. Lu Nanting did not appear; only several other peak masters were present, and all they did was offer a few empty words of admonishment.

The Zhang family behind Zhang Tiance was a prominent clan in Yanjing, and Zhang himself was a longtime Yanjing native. Unlike Li Ye of the Li family, who had come from Yuzhou, Zhang Tiance had never found fermented bean juice strange. He loved it deeply—or rather, this was simply one of the passions, one of the stubborn traditions, of old Yanjing people.

“Yingchun, Lord Shen asked me to pass a few words on to you.” Sun Shaozu shamelessly edged closer to Yingchun.

This was a blessing in disguise. He had only ever heard that orthodox Buddhist ninjutsu possessed such a function. How could Shimura Yang and the others have managed it as well? Sarutobi Hiruzen found this extremely frustrating, but there was no time to dwell on it now. Defeating the enemy was what mattered most.

It did not matter. Bai He had no intention of using violence to alter the present situation. It was hard enough to oppose the entire world, and his opponent was an all-powerful cheat who would simply seal off the country whenever pushed too far. Resorting to force would be the worst possible strategy.

“This cake must be poisoned!” Lin Mufeng said gravely. He suddenly slapped his stomach and vomited out every bit of cake he had eaten.

Hearing that his son had arrived, Sun Shaozu frowned slightly. What was Sun Chengpu doing here at a time like this?

The Ghost-Faced Fox Sovereign was playing the qin beneath a tree. Even when the Divine-Wind Demon Lord and the Green-Mountain Demon Lord descended, she did not stop. Only after finishing the piece did she raise her head.

She immediately turned around. When she saw that it was White-Cut Chicken, her beautiful pupils contracted slightly.

More and more people came over to greet Jiang Nan. Looking at those familiar faces, Jiang Nan suddenly felt as though he had been trapped in an immensely long dream. Once he awoke, he was still the same Jiang Nan—the same ordinary student at Purple-Nature High School, the same Jiang Nan preparing to sit for the medical entrance examination in hopes of saving his mother.

Lu Shaoxi was trying to figure out how to locate the “mole” Colonel Zhou had planted inside this residence when he suddenly felt a wave of heat surge through his lower abdomen. Soon, his entire body began to burn, and his lips and tongue grew parched.

Shangguan Yu did not pursue him, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened. Yesterday, he had been held firmly by both hands, utterly incapable of resisting, and had relied solely on a single kiss to bring the situation under control. Yet today, he had beaten his opponent so thoroughly that the man had fled in utter humiliation. Overjoyed, Shangguan Yu could not help bursting into laughter. At that moment, his elation truly surpassed even what he would have felt upon ascending to the position of Cult Leader.

The demon race of this world had probably invaded during that very battle. In the end, the war had been forcibly halted, and the worlds had each sealed themselves off, leaving the demons trapped here.

“Cult Leader, something terrible has happened.” Ning Zhengxing had not even had time to finish reading the information in the purple bamboo leaf. After noticing the crucial detail, his expression changed dramatically, and he looked up at Yuan Zhengxin in the center and cried out in alarm.

Peru had already taken thirty shots, yet still had not scored a single goal. Denmark had faced the first twenty-eight.

Seeing Xiang Tianxiong standing motionless while someone beside him vomited a pool of blood, Gu Nu was so furious he nearly cursed aloud.

The broad, heavyset face quickly flushed with a mixture of shame and anger. A single word burst from between the red-haired middle-aged man’s clenched teeth.

Although he had never had any dealings with a tycoon of this caliber, Zhuo Yang, filled with doubt but acting out of courtesy, still sought permission from the club before accepting Mansour’s invitation.

The Titan series was even more famous. It consisted of three pieces of legendary warrior equipment: gloves, a breastplate, and boots. The Titan Bracer, which had spread widely across the continent, was considered one of the most successful replicas in history.

“What are you doing? If you dare hit me, I’ll never let you off.” Ji Ran raised her head and resisted as she stared at Huo Wushang’s stern face.

Who had time to waste words with him? The black-armored warrior seized the mage by the collar and threw him over the Sacred Wall as well.

Not only did it heal bodily injuries, it even healed wounds to the soul! Moreover, the elixir’s medicinal effects had yet to fully manifest. It continued gathering immortal energy, as though it intended to reconstruct Lin Tian’s body all over again.

The overall strength of the One-Heaven Sect was now at least ten times greater than that of the former Dragon Group. Beneath its banner were five hundred direct disciples, fifteen hundred core disciples, more than two thousand inner disciples, and many others.

Of course, he still did not have the courage to do that. He could only silently repeat “the customer is always right” countless times before running out in frustration to buy a new bathtub.

“Not bad courage, but your skills are a little lacking. If you don’t want to die, follow behind me!” Helyan Nuo gave a sinister chuckle, his fists drenched in blood, and strode toward his next opponent.

He smiled faintly and followed behind me, letting me snicker to myself at the front. It was obvious he had come specifically to see me, yet he had made such an ardent display of affection—so very much in the style of a Taiwanese romance novel. I had thought he was a melancholy, somewhat unapproachable man, but I had never expected him to possess such ingenious thoughts. Without realizing it, I became even happier.

“The Seven Stars? The sword in Ye Ziyu’s hand is also one of the Seven Stars swords... What is going on?” A purple-robed elder was utterly perplexed.

Luo Yixuan watched Eric leave hurriedly without saying another word and found herself completely baffled. When she had just tried to make the man leave, he had refused to budge. Yet after seeing Ji Ting and saying a single sentence, he had turned and walked away. Looking at the overturned tea, Luo Yixuan frowned.
