Volume One, Chapter 39: Saving Someone

Zhang Wenxuan broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, while Tang Ziyue glared at him in fury.

"Are you sick? Why are you cursing me for no reason?" Tang Ziyue snapped.

Zhang Wenxuan gasped, struggling to stand upright again. He felt a surge of irritation; he had merely been trying to kindly warn her that there was something wrong with her health. He hadn't expected the girl to be so ungrateful. Even if she didn't like him, there was no need to resort to physical violence.

"You're the one who's sick! I was trying to be helpful, and you hit me!" Zhang Wenxuan said with a dark expression.

Tang Ziyue’s face was equally grim. "You’re the one who cursed me with cancer for no reason. If I don’t hit you, who am I supposed to hit?"

"You..."

As her voice trailed off, a powerful aura surged from the Zhao-surnamed cultivator, directly resonating with the surrounding spiritual energy and striking terror into the hearts of all present. In an instant, the full might of a False Core cultivator was laid bare, and the others, exchanging glances, no longer hesitated and unleashed their full strength.

"What's so funny? Tell me so I can be happy, too," Young Master Lu said coldly. Ah Li instantly wilted.

At this thought, resentment surged in Ah Li’s heart, and emboldened by her anger, she kicked the sniveling hanger-on clinging to her away.

Seeing her composed and self-righteous demeanor, as if everything were flawless, Lin Xiang couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

For some reason, when the moment finally arrived, Wang Yi’s previously heavy heart calmed down. Seeing Wang Yi still in the mood to tend to his spiritual herbs, Chen Jin’s agitated heart also settled.

To have one’s flesh and blood stripped away while still alive—this was a pain few could endure. Many Shushan disciples screamed as they fell from the sky, which naturally delighted the bear-demon, who strode toward the direction where the disciples were plummeting.

She believed that before long, she would reach the ranks of second-tier stars, and it was at this moment that Yin Qinyun terminated her contract with Liu Yifa.

Sun Xinyao remarked that they had been fully prepared beforehand, with the music video already filmed; she hadn't expected it to be sold to someone else first.

"Fenrir!" Hela exclaimed. Her worst fear had come to pass; her brother hadn't even landed a single blow before being captured.

Her father had met with misfortune in reality, and her mother had finally managed to reunite with him; separating them now was truly too cruel.

Yunhe lowered his voice, speaking softly, afraid that he might wake his sleeping friend.

I pondered for a moment before giving Ruomeng my phone number. I couldn't set my mind at ease; I was terrified that the evil entity might harm her.

Just then, a commotion broke out behind Ye Tiexiong. I spotted Tie Kuai from a distance. Compared to before, he now wore a grave expression.

Lin Yin could hold on no longer and finally closed her eyes, but just before she did, she noticed Ren Cheng’s face shifting into that of a strange man.

"Everyone calls him Elder Su, but you’re unique, Senior Sister—calling him Young Master Su, tsk tsk tsk!" Gongxi Wanwan was often teased by Su Yu, so seeing something unusual between Su Yu and Su Quan, how could she let such a golden opportunity for retaliation pass?

Part of their food and water had been on the camels. This loss was heavy, and the flight of the camels made their journey even more arduous.

Only two sets of bowls and chopsticks were brought out. Wang Yan wanted to ask the servant to bring another, but was stopped by Dong Shi.

"Er, are you asking about my master or my sect?" Lin Yin replied. "I have no master and no sect. My martial arts were taught to me by a friend." He had never formally apprenticed under Ren Cheng, so the two had no master-disciple relationship.

Shao An explained, "It is not giving up, but rather 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao.' To turn back and provide reinforcements now would be no different than walking into a trap." Indeed, Xiou had already cast a massive net around the border, just waiting for Zhang Ling.

Naoki Takeda held Li Tianyi in utter contempt, for in his view, all traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were elderly, and the older they were, the better. Since Li Tianyi was so young, he certainly couldn't be a contestant for the Chinese delegation; thus, he was likely just a staff member.

"Emergency ascent!" After the staff members completed the distribution, Li Ningyu issued the order.

At that same moment, every Prison Realm Stele emitted a blinding white light. The lights connected, forming an absolutely terrifying cage.

"That's strange. This fire looks like it was lit by someone..." I frowned. Just as I was about to fly away, I heard the chaotic sound of gunfire coming from the edge of the forest.

Following this, Ye Meng’s aura surged once more, pressing down so hard that the skeletal old demon’s body trembled, unable to withstand the pressure.

Brother Bing? Looking at the arrogant, short, fat monk before him, Chai Hua seemed to understand—could this Brother Bing be Leng Bing?

At this stage, he was being exceptionally cautious, as this concerned his future path of cultivation.

Suddenly, five-colored light flickered and pulsed at the heart of the energy, forming a shifting screen of light. A vast aura radiated outward, forcing Ye Meng to retreat another few hundred meters just to feel more comfortable.

"What kind of remnant soldiers are these, to be so bizarre?!" Only when the situation reached a critical point did the skeletal old demon realize that these remnants were truly formidable—incomparably so. With every slash, he felt as if his soul were being ripped away; his consciousness began to blur.

Once a spirit-ice stone releases its spiritual energy, it becomes an ordinary piece of ice or rock, and may even melt. But jade and precious stones never do; they can be used many times over.

"Nonsense! If you only just arrived then, how could you know so much about what happened before?" In the process of forcing Li Shuo to reveal his flaws, Dugu Hong had exposed too much—things clearly beyond the capability of a novice who had just arrived at the scene, even if he were Dugu Hong.

The middle-aged scholar had been indifferent to Xiang Lan’er’s words at first, but as he listened further, his expression grew grave, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in the space behind them, the backs of the large chairs behind Xiang Yun and Luo Jie tilted backward, forming a comfortable large bed. Seeing this, the two looked at each other in surprise, then lay back on the bed to enjoy a good rest.

Fortunately, Liu Ye had previous experience taming Phantom Wolves, so he wondered if he could use the same method to tame these four creatures.

"I want to challenge him, I want to beat him! I don't give a damn what happens if I lose!" Gao Shou roared arrogantly, even drawing the attention of the World's Number One Swordsman, who was passing by.

After finishing his prayers, Shen Guangxi suddenly realized that he now believed in the Taoist Three Pure Ones—all that talk of "Amen," well, it was just the result of years of effective advertising.

Compared to the Cultivation Canon, this internal technique wasn't much, but its special effects were truly alluring. If combined with the Cangshan Cloud-Snow Sword, the results would surely be even better.
