Volume 1, Chapter 27: A Cornered Beast Fights Back

Tiger Xing San’s eyes were filled with terror. Only now, at this late stage, did he realize that he had underestimated this youth from the very beginning.

On the stone tablet, the rather small, jet-black characters caused everyone nearby to catch their breath. Their pupils constricted sharply, and their hearts shuddered violently, as if struck by a locomotive.

While the swarthy man stood stunned in surprise, a fiery red palm formed in mid-air in the blink of an eye. It then struck out with a light, fluttering motion, sending the swarthy man flying away instantly.

"Um," I interrupted her, "could you please stop calling me a coward from now on?" I voiced my long-standing dissatisfaction as a suggestion.

Unexpectedly, Tuoba Shao suddenly seized Xiao Xun’s hand as she was about to lower it. He grasped both of her wrists, folded her hands together with the palms facing outward, and gently pressed the backs of her hands against her lips.

Gu Han’s eyes were cold as ice. He had not expected Liu Ming to be so cunning; he had managed to bypass all eyes and ears to spirit Noble Consort Xiao away from the palace. What a masterful scheme—he had started with the Dali Temple, drawing the entire Imperial Guard toward that end, and thereby surreptitiously abducted the Noble Consort from the palace.

"Pfft!" As their palms collided in combat, Zhang Yang sustained internal injuries and hurriedly forced out the stagnant blood from within. A jet of blood sprayed from his mouth, and upon hitting the ground, it revealed icy clots of gore.

Therefore, the Benevolent Sovereign ultimately did not kill Nao Tian. Instead, he united with the gods and exerted his magic to pin Nao Tian beneath Black Mountain. He had assumed that Nao Tian would never emerge for the rest of his life, but who could have known that I would stumble into releasing him?

"Come in." A dignified voice emanated from within the great tent, though if one listened closely, it seemed to still retain remnants of the playfulness from just moments before.

"Hey! Tiger, did you hear me? If you keep zoning out, you're going to suffer..." I shouted for a long time to no avail, and in my impatience, I stood up, preparing to go over and wake him. Just then, the rooster let out a loud cry: "Cuihua is pregnant!" The melodious yet piercing sound stabbed deep into Tiger’s heart.

"Big brother, I can’t believe we’ve met here!" Ao Long was incredibly excited; he planted his battle-axe into the ground and gave Ling Feng a bear hug.

But could he really just stand by and watch the Flower Sect be struck from the records? Hua Buxie was clearly unwilling, angry, and even felt some regret for having said those words and provoked Fa Buwan.

The Spirit Python slammed down with ferocious force. Although those practitioners at the Star-Swirl Realm struggled to resist, they were still no match for the creature. Without a moment’s hesitation, the python’s tail struck the earth, instantly filling the entire arena with dust and smoke. The ground shook, and cries of agony rang out incessantly.

"My Senior Brother Xu is coming over for dinner; you don't mind, do you?" Chu Yixing asked Si Nanting intentionally, though she was actually speaking for the benefit of Si Chuyan and Xizhou; she wanted to see how Xizhou would react.

"I never said I wanted to have Akun all to myself... Xiaoxuan can come too. I just don't want to play with you." Zhao Qingsi made a face at Yang Yaqing.

Martial arts geniuses from major clans usually use Profound Stones to cultivate before reaching the Martial General realm; it is essentially "cheating" at cultivation, so how could their cultivation levels not be exceptionally outstanding?

Duobao and Wudang both felt their reputations severely tarnished. Du'e’s actions were a direct challenge to their status.

I’m afraid that if Su Mo were to pass gas, she would claim it smelled fragrant... Thinking this, Yun Yueying burst into a giggle, amused by her own thoughts.

Burning with anxiety, Father Wang suffered another episode on the way home, throwing the household into complete chaos. With the delivery date fast approaching and the clients having already come to press for payment several times, Mother Wang was truly at her wits' end. With her husband unconscious, she had no choice but to call her son back to discuss the matter.
