Chapter 48: The Continent's Number One Agility-Attack Type
The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Tang San emerged from his room and leaped onto the rooftop to practice his Purple Demon Eye. Coincidentally, he spotted Tang Xi, who was feigning just waking up while also practicing the Purple Demon Eye. The siblings exchanged a knowing smile without a word and resumed their cross-legged seated positions.
Without exchanging further words, a long moment passed until a few bird calls marked the end of the morning twilight. Tang San opened his eyes, looked at Tang Xi who was still sitting with her eyes closed, and asked:
"Was that you last night?"
Tang Xi was still regulating her internal injuries.
On second thought, it made sense; whether it was the monstrous bird or primordial giant beasts like the white tiger and serpent, they would inevitably cross paths on narrow grounds. Once stripped of their fierce bravery, death was certain.
On the side of the Lunar Star, when Ding Feng arrived, the ethereal radiance paved a grand avenue stretching for millions of miles to welcome everyone, flanked by twinkling moonlight and endless celestial phenomena.
A man who was intently tapping against the wall to check for any hidden compartments did not even get the chance to voice his opinion before his body began to convulse violently amidst piercing gunfire. Splashes of blood bloomed as several bullets shattered his spleen and gall bladder. He collapsed to the ground, robbed of all strength to resist, twitching uncontrollably.
Li Aichuan nodded, knowing this as well, yet Yodel had clearly deflected the bullets at the time. How was such a bizarre phenomenon to be explained? Could it be magic?
"Sometimes I suspect that you acknowledged this master simply to force me into compliance," Zhao Xin said without turning his head, walking side by side with the old Taoist priest.
The Four Great War Gods let out a cold snort and launched an attack on Fang Xuehui. Fang Xuehui gritted her teeth and engaged the Four Great War Gods in battle. Li Yi and the others exchanged glances, hesitant. A purple barrier quickly enveloped Li Yi and the others, sealing them once again, while the Five Great War Gods and Fang Xuehui were instantly frozen in place, unable to move.
Ding Feng frowned, his mind stirring. His divine fetus flew out of the origin space, plunged straight into his head, and swallowed the divine persona in one gulp.
With a loud crash, Li Luo and Xiang Liuer plunged heavily into the water. The water was bone-chilling, yet it could not compare to the searing pain radiating from Li Luo's back. Fortunately, there were no reefs where they landed, and even if there had been, centuries of rushing currents would have worn them down into silt.
The heavy gates opened, and the Mountain God of Subduing Demons led Daoist Hanpo and Daoist Zizhu inside. The three of them immediately spotted the dark-haired youth sitting quietly with his eyes closed—Zhang Li.
Could this tribulation have finally arrived? If Huo Mantian truly went mad, I'm afraid everyone on Heavenly Fire Peak would be doomed to that tragic fate of being slaughtered indiscriminately.
"As everyone knows, Jin Wusheng is my man. Disrespecting Jin Wusheng means showing no regard for my, Jin Qianhe's, reputation!" Jin Qianhe assumed the posture of a triad boss whose word commanded absolute obedience from all quarters.
The figure ahead turned around and slashed with a sword, a flash of light sweeping past. Nie Fu's pupils constricted; he drew half his blade and blocked the incoming thrust.
Who would have thought that the previously enthusiastic cheers would suddenly die down? The atmosphere was unmistakably strange—the spectators had just noticed three other Southeast soldiers closing in on a different group.
Suddenly, the front-row soldiers of the Gemini Legion holding cross-swords felt a mysterious force take control of their weapons. Despite their greatest efforts, the cross-swords slowly inched toward their own throats, finally pressing flat against their necks.
Of course, prior to that, what Landen needed to do most was to map out a development plan for the Blackwater River. He could not afford to lead all the high-tier forces of his territory there to watch over it every single time. Development, production, and sales forming a streamlined chain—that was what Landen ultimately required.
Having arranged to take the two of them to visit Shenwu Genetics tomorrow, Zhou Zhou returned to his apartment. Because of the numerous affairs lately, he had been staying at the Gu family villa and had almost forgotten he even owned property at Yijia Apartments.
Lanya Lie did not find it strange. She knew a thing or two about Lan Motian's abilities; discovering her presence right outside the lounge was not the least bit surprising.
"Scoundrel, utterly shameless! Have you forgotten everything your master taught you? You are the future hope of our Piaoyao Peak, the hope of the Wanshou Valley, yet you care so little for your own talent and fail to keep yourself pure..." He rambled on and on for a long while.
