Lan Ruyan was currently channeling her water blades and could not spare a hand; she could only tilt her body and lash out with one leg like a whip toward Wang Xinzhen’s hands.
The four men behind heard this, their eyes turning blood-red. A cruel smile curled at the corners of their mouths, and they gave chase with heavy, labored breathing; it was only a matter of two steps.
This place was within the borders of the Chu State, twenty thousand miles away from the Cangnu Ten-Thousand-Mile Abyss. Zhao Hua circulated his ghost arts, ghost power suffusing his entire body, his speed almost rivaling that of a first-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Having persisted for so long, Lin Feng’s spirit could no longer hold on. The fact that he was able to let out a long howl just moments ago was entirely due to the excitement of his success.
Perhaps sensing the scent of fresh blood, the various rotting corpses that had been outside the door began to stir. They let out low, guttural sounds one after another, then boldly gathered together, throwing themselves against the door and clawing at it frantically.
"The archers trained by Red Lady, as well as the carpenters who craft their weapons, I want them all," Ying Zheng blurted out.
Returning from the site selection with Li Rusong and his brother, Ying Zheng spent the journey thinking about one of the locations designated by the Emperor, who said it could be announced as the stage for his personal appearance at the Martial Arts Tournament.
Lin Feng dared not dally and immediately followed Blood Lady’s guidance. By following her methods, he escaped the illusion array shortly thereafter.
Xiao Shilang’s treasure pouch was a high-grade magical artifact; it could not be forced open. One had to slowly refine the array seals within to access what was inside; otherwise, if damaged, the contents would be lost forever.
After Ziyang carefully consulted with Zhu Qi, he ordered that the suggestions be carried out. He commanded Yang Xing and He Yuan to lead troops into the city, while Zhuge Mou was tasked with overseeing the transport of provisions, advancing by both land and water to ensure everyone was inside before the Chiya Khanate cavalry arrived.
It had been about a year since he transmigrated, and his strength had leaped into the Innate Realm. Although it was achieved through opportunism, it could not be denied that he had become an Innate martial artist.
Therefore, even a proud and arrogant young master of the Chu family like Chu Nan’ang dared not be negligent. After all, the reason their Chu family had been thriving all these years was largely due to the secret assistance of the Great Ling Heavenly Awakening Temple behind the scenes.
However, having witnessed the high-profile and foolish behavior of Shen Zhui as a model, Ji Ruohua gradually began to feel that the Wei Emperor had grand ambitions.

He had always felt it was a great pity that ground-effect vehicles were never developed.
This guy seemed quite dull in front of Du Nan and Old Zhou, but in front of others, his intelligence was actually quite respectable.
Then again, the daimyo of various regions kept the Emperor at a distance, all because they knew the Emperor was nothing more than a high-ranking paper doll with no utility; the Tagawa family seemed to gain nothing by tricking him into coming over.
Clearly, from Luffy’s description, Iceberg and the others knew of the Merry’s magnificent journey, and they also knew that the Merry had accumulated incurable wounds.
In reality, Han Gufeng had never caused you any real harm; his attitude was simply unfriendly. From the start, you could have killed him at any time; if you had intended to kick a man while he was down, you wouldn’t have waited until today. It was just that you felt this man was a bit too miserable.
Seeing the way Bels retreated decisively, you suddenly realized a possibility—no matter how high one’s kung fu, one still fears being buried alive; this might be his fatal weakness. Yes, his damage output was high, and yes, his evasion rate was incredibly high, but if the place were to collapse, he would die all the same. Once again, there is no such thing as an invincible person.
When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he asked the immortals, and Taishang Laojun suggested capturing him to refine him into an elixir, so Sun Wukong was taken to the Tushita Palace.
Just as they regained their composure, this terrifying gravitational force finally stopped, and only then did they have the chance to examine the situation at the bottom of the abyss.
And it must be said, Li Tianyi’s method was truly effective. The fatty came the next day; he didn’t wait for Lu Wanting, but when he came the third day, he ran into her.
"Ah Ling, since this young master has extended an invitation, let’s go together!" Ye Meng walked over and said with a smile. As he spoke, he reached out his arm, intending to wrap it around Ah Ling’s waist to claim his territory.
However, when he left, his face was full of smiles. He could hear that Li Tianyi had shown a willingness to accept him, as Li Tianyi’s form of address for him had changed from "Comrade Yang Hui" to simply "Yang Hui."
When Gu Ye Duoxi again commanded the Japanese troops to climb into the sewage ditch, Mo Xiaosheng and his group had already used that twenty-minute time gap to climb to flat ground and escape to safety.
Chai Hua picked up his phone, dialed a number, and explained the situation in detail to the person on the other end.

A single leap, two effective attacks—it demonstrated powerful core strength, explosive speed, and bodily flexibility; the two people behind were left stunned.
Subsequently, Li Tianyi brought the two to a chain hotel in Baoyi County and requested three rooms, serving as their temporary lodging.
Yun Yuwu demanded the boat he had arrived on, but the guards dared not make the decision without authorization and had to return to consult Yun Yulong.
"Ximen Ziyu!" Tang Yu turned her head and saw Ximen Ziyu, who was slowly collapsing, his eyes wide open.
But Lin Sese was trembling with rage; she had fallen into an icy pit of disappointment. She had trusted him all along, only to find out he was truly a scumbag.
At night, calculating that my grandmother should be home, I was just about to dial her number when the phone rang on its own. Seeing the caller, I was still somewhat surprised.
When they were about 10 meters away from Zhu Houwei and his party, the horsemen stopped and dismounted. Although they did not draw their weapons, Zhu Yuan and the ten soldiers from the land and water battalion could not help but instinctively surround Zhu Houwei.
The person delivering the food was Old Cai, the head of the Prince’s kitchen. He was in his early fifties and had worked here for two years. He had previously been a chef in the Imperial Kitchen, diligent and highly skilled; Zhu Houwei was quite satisfied with him. He was a loyal and honest man, and he held great prestige within the Prince’s estate.
It seemed her internal injuries were severe. He kept kissing her, comforting her, patting her back, and soothing her emotions. Gradually, Lin Sese calmed down, with only an occasional sob remaining.
'It seems he has no choice but to intervene,' Chen Xingyu thought, although he firmly believed that Zhao Zilong and Huang Zhong could resolve the problem without him.
