Volume 1, Chapter 50: Keep Your Distance from Him!

Hearing Dakuan's words, his wife and children were all completely stunned.

I observed the scene and noticed that not only were Dakuan's wife and child dumbfounded, but even my cousin, who had taken advantage of the chaos to hide in the crowd, was equally dumbfounded!

My cousin's wife was also somewhat dazed, staring blankly straight at me.

However, I only glanced at my cousin's wife, and after making sure she was alright, I immediately shifted my attention back to Dakuan.

Dakuan urged impatiently, "Hurry up and apologize, what are you waiting for?"

"You—"

The woman widened her eyes in disbelief and cried out, "You want me to apologize to that bumpkin?"

"Apologize!"

Dakuan's expression changed instantly. He reached out and grabbed the woman's arm, shouting at the top of his lungs...

"It's actually him? How is it that he came to participate in this selection tournament as well? Truly unbelievable!" Lin Xiao, standing beside Su Yi, had clearly heard of this Heavenly Evil.

Ah Jiu opened her eyes and, seeing the undisguisable joy in the corners of Mother Luo's eyes, she knew that progress had been made.

"Wait a little longer. Roast it a bit more, and the flavor will be even better!" After saying this, Ye Feng added a few more leaves to make the fire burn brighter.

Looking at Qi Yao's stubbly and unkempt appearance, a deeper sense of guilt arose in Ah Jiu's heart. Thinking of how he had spent more than ten days rushing on the road without getting a proper rest, yet she had still used such harsh words to hurt him, she felt a trace of unbearable remorse.

Just looking at everything Han Mu had done in Jiangzhou without being detected by the dark guards under his command, one could tell that Prince Lian indeed had capable people under him.

"Why... You said we were destined for a lifetime together... You even said that after finishing your cultivation at the Tianding Sect you would marry me, so why now..." The man reached out with a trembling hand, as if trying to grasp something.

Su Yi paid no attention to the battle outside the arena, keeping his gaze firmly fixed on An Rulie.

"I'll let this remark slide this time. If anyone else had heard it, you'd have died a hundred times over out there, hum." Sweeping a warning gaze across the area, Xiu Ming walked toward the team on the other side.

"General Wu! Great Hero Wu! Didn't you promise me that you would listen entirely to my arrangements? A real man must honor his word," Liansheng argued reasonably.

"Watch me defeat you in a single move!" Brilliant light flickered in Gu Lingxiao's eyes as soul power surged around his entire body. He shot forward explosively like a rainbow piercing the air, charging straight toward Ye Feng. When he was still three meters away, he threw a punch. Soul power surged on his fist, shattering the wind barrier with unstoppable and ferocious momentum.

"Naturally, you may." The magistrate of the capital nodded repeatedly. He had finally figured it out; today, he was merely a decorative figure. If he failed to satisfy the person before him, he would never have an easy day again.

Clearly having searched for so many days, only to find the person right by his side—not everyone could endure this kind of pent-up fury.

"Everyone, be on guard!" Qin Hao's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly instructed the Sons of God to prepare for battle.

An Yutong truly felt as though she was starting to remember something—those days spent with Mu Yichen.

Using ritual vessels as magical artifacts, and items originally obtained from a semi-immortal at that, Luochen dared not hold high expectations. In this desperate situation, he was merely treating a dead horse as if it were still alive, just to give himself a bit of comfort.

Meanwhile, Ghost-Seeing-Sorrow, who was still in Mo Jiuxiang's courtyard, was not so fortunate. He was viciously stabbed by Mo Jiuxiang, who then pulled the short blade out from his abdomen and kicked him right off the bed.

The Crimson-Eyed White Wolf fled all the way. The spiritual power on its body had already dimmed considerably, and both its reaction time and defense had dropped drastically. Facing this sudden impact, the wolf's crimson eyes also flashed with a hint of shock. Its low-intelligence brain could offer no help, and acting purely on instinct, it lashed out with a claw.

The people of the Southern Domain did not believe in gods and Buddhas; their sole faith rested in the Bright Spirit Divine Cult, which had once brought them glory and happiness. Qin Hao's appearance was akin to the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva in the eyes of the Northern Domain people, inspiring unconditional trust.

"This is simply bugged!" Alston stared at Durant in utter shock, and everyone else reacted the exact same way.

After a long while, the fireball above Luqi's head grew visibly larger. A portion of the fusion force within his body flowed into the fireball, while another portion transformed into dozens of fine threads that intertwined and wrapped around the outer perimeter of the fireball. This prevented the fireball from changing its shape and allowed the energy contained within it to remain concentrated.

Having said this, Lincheng Xi raised his leg and swept it toward Luqi's head, bringing with him a fierce gust of wind. Luqi hurriedly gathered fusion force in his arms to defend.

Cui Changfang was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's actually a good idea!" Yet, in the end, he did not rush forward.

Amidst the watchful gazes of the crowd, Wang Hao took eighty-one steps, ascended the nine-tiered stairs, and reached the pinnacle of the sacrificial altar.

At this moment, Elisson looked at what was before him with a smug expression. Even though he knew that people throughout the entire empire were supposedly mobilizing to deal with him, he did not care in the least. In his view, this was entirely not worth worrying about.

Unfortunately, Shi Wanpeng was very calm! Or rather, whatever plot they had come down to execute was what kept Shi Wanpeng calm.

The place was completely deserted, and everyone sat down one after another. After a while, an old woman of about seventy years of age walked out from the inner quarters, leaning on a glazed lion-headed cane.

Sun Zhuo was taken aback upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Kobe, much like O'Neal, to want to form a partnership with him. O'Neal viewed Sun Zhuo as a substitute for Kobe, while Kobe also wanted to make Sun Zhuo his greatest future helper.

Everyone instinctively swallowed their saliva. That clear voice sounded gentle, but as it entered their ears, it felt like a thunderclap from the highest heavens, making everyone's head spin and feel dizzy.

When they looked again, Wang Mu had already appeared behind the old man. The blade he had thrust through was nothing more than an afterimage.

Sharing the same mindset were the cook Jia and Lucy. Their two paths had narrowly bypassed the turmoil on the western side. Worried as they were, they were in no rush to provide reinforcements. Ultimately, this was thanks to Song Jiu's prior instructions.
