Chapter 36

Following his words, the sect leaders carefully observed the divine array, only to be astonished to discover that these array patterns were several times larger than those used by Yu Wude at the Daoist assembly.

Ye Xiao’s gaze remained fixed on the "20% attribute reduction" line, and he could not help but curse inwardly.

These dozen or so Ming soldiers were actually exhausted, but the peerless bravery of their commanding general, who had piled the bodies of the Qing soldiers like a mountain, had boosted the morale of the group and terrified the surrounding Qing soldiers, keeping them at bay.

Uncle Zhong gathered all the hunters of Zhong Village and explained the stakes. In truth, he only said one thing: "Once they enlist, their whole families won't have to go hungry." Aside from a small number of men who were deeply attached to their ancestral land, most of the hunters in Zhong Village were eager and raring to go.

Wang Hong felt deep admiration for Jing Hanru’s act of sacrificing himself for the sake of justice. Although he also held Chai Rong in the highest esteem, he had not known him for long, and thus Wang Hong questioned whether he could truly do what Jing Hanru had done—standing up for Chai Rong’s reputation even to the point of self-sacrifice.

Upon hearing that it was junk food from his hometown, the doctor couldn't wait; he grabbed his chopsticks and dove in, as if afraid it might vanish if he were too slow.

On the horizon, rolling meteors trailing long flames slammed downward, yet streaks of Buddha-light rose against the heavens to intercept them. Space trembled repeatedly, and in an instant, the meteors were teleported to other dimensions.

But who could have known that Zhao Kuangyin would remain passive? The phrase "the heart of a sage is unfathomable" was certainly not just a saying. When Qin Huan accepted the mission to escort Chai Zongxun, he had considered that Zhao Kuangyin might use the ancestral sacrifice as an opportunity to order him to do something in the shadows.

"Bang..." Long Yun slapped Deng Jun, who had never encountered such a bizarre situation before.

Having said this, his figure dimmed, flickering like smoke before vanishing in the blink of an eye. Chen Fengxiao bowed respectfully once more before climbing to his feet, leaning against the couch as his thoughts drifted away.

Aokiji sat there, observing Ross and the others with a calm gaze and a gentle tone. He made no unnecessary movements, yet he exerted a terrifying pressure upon everyone present.

Sky Burial Mountain had several peaks. Before arriving, Su Xingchen had already gathered intelligence from Xiao Tianfang and knew which peaks the four great families resided on.

Had they not seen those two mountains of flesh slaughtering the bandits, they might have rushed down to snatch the loot themselves.

Over there, the exhausted Old Zhou collapsed to his knees. Seeing the general unscathed, a look of despair crept across his already pale face.

Most other pirate hunters worked in teams, and their targets were usually pirates with bounties under ten million; even hunting down great pirates with bounties over ten million was a rarity.

"Look at that big sister; she’s getting stitches too, and she isn’t crying. You’re a boy, why are you crying?" the boy's mother said, holding back her own tears as she pointed at Ye Li.

Suddenly, a shrill, miserable scream erupted. Countless strands of black hair recoiled wildly as if they had encountered heavenly lightning. Those in the front dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, tens of thousands of strands vanished into nothingness.

Previously, Lin Shan had been away, and other factions in Dali had not initiated the next round of trials of the late emperor. After four rounds of attacks, each increasing his points by four, his total had finally exceeded ten million.

The moment the car slowly moved away from the electric sliding gate, the paparazzi who had been lying in wait swarmed forward, forcing the Alphard to a halt. At the same time, reporters who had been waiting at the school's other three gates rushed over as soon as they received the news.

Lin Peng patted Zhang Zhiping on the back and walked out of the ward with Fu Qiang and the others, heading toward the room where Tu Su and Wu Xin were staying...

The next moment, Li Xin’s aura changed completely, turning icy cold. A series of chilling gusts swept through the room, causing everyone to tremble involuntarily.

Park Sang-ji understood his current situation clearly. Perhaps this could be the turning point to change their current passive defensive posture—at the very least, they needed the ability to counterattack and protect themselves.

"Take this!" The weapon in his hand floated lightly before descending with a fierce, crushing blow onto the arms of the Lion King.

Yun Zhonghe turned pale, hurriedly bowed to Emperor Hengxi, and then turned to follow him with long strides.

"What?!" Lan Nolas exclaimed instinctively, looking at Hatarot in shock. He never expected his target to deliver himself to his doorstep like this.

A vortex appeared in the void, and a beam of light poured down from within, sinking directly into the crown of Li Xin’s head.

Liu Xiana looked puzzled. She climbed out of bed, draped a military coat over her shoulders, and stepped outside the tent.

In an instant, a verdant green light permeated the entire chaotic world, turning the pitch-black void completely emerald.

A cold, thin smile played on his lips, and his eyes, once bright as stars, were now filled with malevolence.

Just as the members of the Central Team secured their two mechs and four off-road vehicles and took their seats, fastening their safety harnesses, the landing craft shook. It felt as though it had been grabbed by a large mechanical arm and loaded onto the spaceship.

If the "medium-rare" joke at the beginning was merely because Rui Mengmeng was unfamiliar with Western cuisine, she now seemed to disregard all "dining etiquette" entirely, opting for her most primitive and comfortable way of eating.

"It shouldn't be excessive for me to hug her like this, right?" Rui Mengmeng thought to herself as she reached out to wrap her arms around Leona’s waist—her heart was pounding like a drum, and she was incredibly nervous.

Yet they also knew that Jiang Qi was far too reckless; if they did not restrain him, this desperado might eventually cost them their lives.

Bone Aotian wanted to say something, but there was no need. He walked in silence with Daria all the way to the entrance of the teaching building.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Yuan would have been overjoyed, but at such a critical moment, he could not calm his mind to make a breakthrough.

When Qin Wushuang said this, Chen Yuan’s gaze was already locked onto Fentian, his eyes burning with boundless fighting spirit.

Seeing Dian Wei, Jiang Qi was naturally quite startled. Standing over a zhang tall, Dian Wei was leaning against the wooden wall, using one hand to block the sudden glare of light. His already bear-like, sturdy frame was now straining his fiery red battle robes so tightly that it seemed as if a single exertion would rip them apart.
