Chapter 124: Relentless Trouble-Making
The previous two strikes were merely the energy aura lashed out by the long whip, but this time, it was the Heaven-rank whip itself lashing directly onto the cyan jade egg.
Legend has it that the Zhan family was not originally surnamed "Zhan." Their true surname has long been lost to history, but because every member of the family was a battle-crazed fanatic, they came to be known as the "Zhan Family."
"Do not think you are powerful just because of where you are now. At your age, the Lord was already in the middle stage of the Innate Realm. After all these years, he has likely long since surpassed it, and he possesses many formidable subordinates whom you are in no position to challenge." The old village chief, feeling a sense of anger at Ye Ao’s stubbornness, analyzed the situation for him.
However, before he could speak further, he saw Shen Xiaoran emerge from nowhere, pulling Mu Qingyan into his protective embrace.
Everything was proceeding smoothly; in just a few more moments, they would be able to condense their Golden Cores and step into that legendary, unreachable realm.
As long as he killed Xiong Er and seized the Sparrow Tail Whip, he could flee to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Land. The benefits he would gain there would be more than enough to compensate for the loss of his Nascent Soul.
This light heralded the beginning of all ages and the dawn of time; it existed before Heaven and Earth, serving as the origin of time and all things.
Xiao Yunqi kicked over a chair and flashed onto the martial arts training grounds. The moment his feet touched the ground, he drew a long saber from the weapon rack nearby, gave it a few practice swings, and pointed it directly at Chi Shutong.
Live-streaming platforms emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, pushing the industry to new heights.
Xiao Yong swallowed hard and glanced at the teammates behind Su Yue who had already lowered their guns.
Forget it, I’ll just endure it this time. Who told me to be soft-hearted? It’s just a pity for my stomach this time; I hope Bai Miaomiao doesn’t concoct too much poisonous food.
Subsequently, both of them took out a bottle of milk and took a sip simultaneously. The next second, their knocked-out teeth instantly regrew, and even the cracks on Brook’s facial bones vanished.
Liu Yuanfeng did not disappoint Li Zhicheng’s high expectations; he reached out to his classmate, Zheng Feng, who was also exceptionally talented in management. Li Zhicheng made a special trip to Guangzhou to meet him and found that he was indeed a person of fine character.
"Fine, let it be. It’s all been in the past for many years," the Corpse King said, waving his hand with a seemingly generous air.
"I never expected Wang Ziqiao to be so ruthless! He’s playing for such high stakes! He doesn’t have any deep-seated hatred for Young Master An, so is it really necessary to invite the Great God Piaoyao?" the bronze-tier streamer Bai Yang complained, unwilling to accept the situation.
Suddenly, an Odyssey business van slowed to a stop at the hotel entrance. Lin Chuan and his group jumped out—five people in total. They looked up at the magnificent hotel, and on the main entrance hung several huge, resplendent golden characters: Fuchuan Hotel.
The fired fishing net ensnared Robin perfectly. Before Hammond could even celebrate, he discovered that the Robin trapped in the net had suddenly transformed into a flurry of pink flower petals and vanished from within the net.
"I will be very troubled if you keep acting like this, Lord Tiger Shark. Besides, I don’t want to become a Devil Fruit user." Mr. Rabbit reached out and pushed against his handsome face with a blank expression, but the soft, limp force held no threat at all.
In the chaotic plaza, the broadcast was heard as expected, and with the shadow of a giant ship faintly visible in the sky above, everyone’s hearts sank.
Moreover, those new nobles who had originally risen from the ranks of regional commanders, once seated in high positions within the metropolitan governor's office, had plenty of ways to tacitly restrain regional generals and smooth out their relationships with local military leaders.
Liu Juechen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Ever since Yang Kuang ascended the throne as the Shang Emperor, he had made enemies all over the world. Whether in the imperial court or the pugilistic world, he was surrounded by foes. If these people discovered that the one Yang Kuang loved had lost her protection, it would truly be dangerous.
The only uncertain factor was the Sect Master of the Profound Heart Sect. After all, as the leader of a sect, she had to consider the entire organization. Zhang Jiayong was now linked to the secret of the Path to Immortality; since she knew, she had to find a way to secure a massive stroke of destiny and benefit for her sect.
But it felt as though the two were deadlocked. It wasn't that Li Guangshan was at a disadvantage; it might even be the opposite, because flying swords require a massive amount of soul power, whereas Li Guangshan’s defense might not necessarily require such a heavy expenditure.
The Yellow Springs Daoist was one of the few cultivators in the world to possess the True Water of the Yellow Springs. Moreover, he had integrated this water into his own techniques, creating a method called the "Yellow Springs True Formula." Relying on this, he had reached the peak of the Return to Truth Realm, becoming one of the most powerful beings below the Creation Realm.
"Why don’t they have to pay a toll?" someone asked with a laugh, feeling secure and unthreatened, merely curious and completely disbelieving that Qin Chuan would dare to rob them.
Channeling the Yellow Springs Cannon would lower the upper limit of his total soul power, but Yellow Springs Essence Fish could replenish it. If utilized correctly, his soul power would grow to an unimaginable level, perhaps even breaking through the boundaries of the Heaven-Human Realm.
After doing all this, Tian Xuanzi breathed a light sigh of relief, then widened his eyes and shouted, "Return!" The wooden sword soared into the air once more, circled around, and flew back into the sheath on Tian Xuanzi’s back.
But the most critical issue was the damage the Power of Annihilation inflicted upon the cultivator. If it is truly annihilation, how can there be rebirth?
"Are you joking with me? Heh, time travel... a future world... God, I’ve been imprisoned by two lunatics!" Mi’er did not scream, but her words made Zhang Jiayong’s face darken instantly.
Lin Yu walked toward the lake, standing nearby. He wanted to know why not a single blade of grass grew by the lakeside, while all around it, a hundred flowers bloomed in competition.
"It seems so!" Nangong Qian couldn't be certain either; after all, her previous attack hadn't been locked onto any specific location.
The overall strength of Qingyun City was far greater than that of Moyang City. How could the top-ranked Ma Yuanjie and Ouyang Lei be mere First-Tier Martial Spirits?
The gambler Ni Ming took a deep breath, turned, and walked out of the command center. He decided to take a gamble; he decided to trust President Chen Yi, he decided to trust Hou Batian, and he decided to trust the Chinese Alliance. Once outside, Ni Ming quickly headed toward Tian Zui’s research laboratory; only by entering there would he be safe.
"Yes, by exploiting Qing Song’s anxious mindset, continuously casting illusions to anger him, thereby lowering his guard and filling his heart with rage, making him focus solely on beating up Lin Yu—that gave Lin Yu his opportunity," Lei Yang explained.
Observing everything, Bai Yi sighed to herself that Lu Xingzhou was skilled in management; a single word of praise for his "brother" was enough to make his subordinate feel uncontrollably grateful.
