Volume 1, Chapter 24: Do you think my new clothes look good?

My shout finally brought silence to the scene. All the thugs stared directly at me. I had no interest in what they were thinking; I glared at Scar-Face Huang and roared, "Do you yield?"

Scar-Face Huang said nothing, staring back at me with eyes that clearly signaled defiance. Damn it! A wave of fury surged within me; even now, he was still acting tough! I kicked him hard in the waist. "Are you mute, you son of a bitch? Weren't you so tough just a moment ago? Didn't you want to kill me? Come on then!" Scar-Face Huang was indeed stubborn; even at this point, he refused to bow his head to me. Sheng-ge caught his breath, endured the pain, and walked to my side, staring at...

"It seems the arrays at the other five locations have all been destroyed one by one!" Situ Feng, Xuanyuan Duanfei, Yu Yi, Dongfang Hai, and the others clearly sensed the anomaly in the five hollow cloud clusters, which were gradually fading away.

About twenty minutes had passed since Wang Qi arrived. At this rate, the Dharma Protector should not have departed yet—or at most, he would be on his way. If he went to provide reinforcements, there would still be time. As for the Wudao Villa, Ye Wudao couldn't even be bothered to maintain it anymore; he simply used it as a place to stay.

Xiao Fei threw another pair of punches, knocking the zombie to the ground, right where the original coffin had been. The zombie reached out, grabbed the heavy coffin lid, and hurled it at Xiao Fei with immense, almost inhuman strength.

The Moon Goddess Mirror was too important to her. Xiao Fei claimed her mount had escaped, taking the mirror with it. She did not believe him, nor was she willing to give up.

The remaining enemy soldiers discarded their weapons and surrendered to Big Yellow-Tooth’s men. Big Yellow-Tooth had the captives move the tank that had been stuck in the pit and positioned it at the mountain pass to serve as a mobile bunker.

While in mid-air, he reached into his ear and produced the Silver Hoop Rod. As it caught the wind, it grew enormously thick, and with one swing, he brought it down upon the Universe-Grade Divine Bell.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kailan still wore an expression of shock, but remembering the strange state he had just experienced, he kept his mouth shut.

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he flipped his palm and withdrew something bloody from his spatial ring.

Then, just as the two were about to step outside, a pale blue flame suddenly erupted from Xiao Yan’s palm with a loud bang. A searing heat was instantly released, causing the temperature in the entire hall to rise significantly, making the very air feel dry.

The blade was pressed against the traitor’s throat. A single exertion of force from Wu Yi would result in his decapitation.

They looked at Fang Ao with admiration. Fang Ao did not share their arrogance; he remained rational. He led them with absolute composure, maintaining his focus even when they were blinded by their victory, continuing to follow the plan.

Seeing how most employees addressed Li Yu, Wei Quan decided to follow the trend and simply called him "BOSS."

Even if the Dragon-Marked Lion Beast could kill Mu Bai with a single swipe of its claw, it would still be blinded by the cold glint of the blade.

After dozens of exchanges, Fan Shen was no longer a fool; instead of flying his sword, he used all his strength to deflect Lin Bin’s thrown sword. This time, he not only used his full power to knock it as far away as possible, but he also deflected it in a different direction, leaving Lin Bin unable to retrieve it, naturally slowing his attacks and breaking his momentum.

Wanzi possessed an unyielding spirit; regardless of whether it was her place to take charge, she began issuing orders directly.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" Situ Meitang suddenly slumped into his chair. Xuejiao immediately broke free from Wu Yi’s embrace and ran to her father’s side.

Zhao Feng nodded, though his heart was pounding. Although he had followed Shen Rong’s lead in expressing skepticism earlier, he could tell that when An Qin spoke those words, her expression was not feigned. His old rival, Zhai Xiaogang, also appeared calm and composed, as if An Qin had not been wrong at all.

The deeper one descended underground, the higher the heat became. Once it exceeded three hundred degrees, Huo Ziyin found it difficult to endure and had to use his Dragon Breath Fire Spirit to absorb the heat.

"Dad, so you mean you want me to win over the Divine Doctor Wang? To have him replace the Wei family and become the backing for our Qin family?" Qin Hua seemed to understand his father’s intention.

On that late autumn night, the wind was fierce, blowing the temple door open and shut. In the flickering firelight, the scene inside appeared ghostly and eerie.

Chen Jiehao could not immediately identify the material from which the swing-handled pot was carved. Looking at the flashlight in the scruffy man’s hand, he thought that since they dared to bring a flashlight for someone to appraise it, it couldn't possibly be mutton-fat jade; it was likely just some other type of miscellaneous stone.

The two "Huskies" gathered together; one held the flashlight while the other searched for treasure. With clear division of labor and experience, their speed was indeed different.

Situ Xuan had not returned all night, and she was truly growing impatient. He had only just recovered from his injuries; she hoped he wouldn't do anything foolish. Wang Zixuan didn't care about revenge; she only wanted to accompany her beloved back to Mingzhu, back to their home.

Yun Zhen was naturally straightforward. Sensing that Tian Lingzi was being insincere and going back on his word—and causing him to lose face in front of so many people—he brushed his sleeves in frustration and left with Tian'er.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning erupted from the old dragon beside her, striking the great wave directly. Threads of electricity danced across the spray, forcing the wave to retreat by two yards. Taking advantage of those two yards, Yi reached the metal device, drew it, and slammed it down with a shout.

As soon as the words fell, two shadows closed in on He Liuhun. For the first time in his life, He Liuhun felt his life was under immense threat, with two steel blades pressed so closely against his throat. The natural metallic scent of the blades and the cold aura of steel that had tasted blood made his skin crawl.

When Shen Yang was enfeoffed that day, he knew the task of protecting the families of the Righteous Emperor and the generals of various kingdoms would be arduous, but, of course, the rewards would surely be substantial.

Countless demonic claws began to surge out from the Fountain of Youth. Viewed from above, the fountain looked like a green sun, and these demonic claws were like solar flares erupting from it, spreading in all directions in ever-increasing numbers.

A wild goose flew across the sky, emitting a high-pitched cry, flapping its wings and leaving behind a trace of lonely pride.

When Wang Zhe took a strange string of beads out of his storage ring, the landlord was shocked.

Wu De had actually been listening outside the door for a long time before entering, so he naturally knew what was going on. Asking him now was merely a hope that he would accept his punishment.

"This... is this how you see what's ahead?" Bai Qi hadn't noticed any windows earlier and assumed they were driving blindly. Though, considering how thick his bangs were, that probably counted as blind driving anyway, right?

Man Chuan, however, watched Yun Tian with a calm expression, showing no concern that he might suddenly strike.
