Volume 1, Chapter 48: The General Is Injured

"Everyone who can swim, enter the water immediately to search for the Princess," Gu Han commanded in a deep voice.
A crowd plunged into the water with loud splashes, while others deployed small boats and fishing nets.
Gu Han, however, descended into the cabin and headed toward the lowest deck.
The other two flying magical beasts finally arrived, and the battlefield underwent a dramatic shift with the addition of these fresh reinforcements.
Mocking Xue Wushen, the Hidden Sword in Xue Wushen's hand lacked overly flashy moves, thrusting forward with direct velocity, little knowing that all of this was in vain. The skeleton ultimately absorbed the vital essence of all the demonic beasts; here, he was the king, and not a single person was a match for him—not even someone as powerful as Xue Wushen.
Shao Han executed Chase-Shadow footwork as he spoke, his elegant, fluid dance steps leaving Ruoshui filled with wonder and admiration. At the conclusion of his speech, he delivered another heavy punch, and this Cold Moon Fire Charm finally collapsed.
In reality, given Ziyang's strength, dealing with those Star Realm Divine Emperors was an effortless task. The reason for making such a grand spectacle in the first place was precisely to lure the Underworld Devil Old Monster to the designated location and imprison him there.
Ziyang smiled faintly, too lazy to exchange idle words with him. He transferred the remaining sixteen Lizard-Dragon guards out, had the Divine Dragon guards slaughter them instantly, and stored all twenty-one Lizard-Dragon corpses inside his spatial ring.
Zhongli Mo and Yu Ziqi wore completely expressionless faces, revealing neither joy nor discontent. Long Qie, on the other hand, stood below with a wide grin, clapping continuously. Having witnessed Xiang Ye hold off a Qin force dozens of times larger with a handful of troops outside Puyang City, he held a high regard for Xiang Ye's capabilities.
Seeing the fifth chieftain and his men rushing toward them with curved sabers and ferocious expressions, the civilians shrieked and shoved their carts into the alleys before turning and fleeing in panic.
Wang Xinran's arm was directly cleaved open by Lan Ruyan. The split began at the middle finger of his right arm and extended all the way to his shoulder, leaving a trail of blood where white bone fragments were clearly visible. Meanwhile, the water blade remained embedded in Wang Xinran's arm, unable to be withdrawn.
As the Heavenly Silkworm Thread sustained damage, Zheng Lianba's spiritual consciousness also suffered a degree of injury. At this moment, his face was already flushed a deep crimson. Of course, a minor injury to his spiritual consciousness was not enough to reduce him to such a state; the crucial point was that the Heavenly Silkworm Thread was his most precious treasure, and seeing it damaged made his heart bleed.
When Shi Wu glanced back and witnessed this scene, his expression shook, and he shouted at the top of his lungs. Just as he attempted to run over, Amber closed the distance and pinned him to the ground, rendering him completely unable to move.
After all, what Zhu Xichun said was not entirely wrong; if it were her own son who had been beaten, her reaction would likely have been even more intense than Zhu Xichun's.
Zhang Shaofei whirled around to dodge the vixen's pounce, but as he spun past, the vixen suddenly twisted her upper body, and a claw viciously raked across his waist. With a screech of tearing fabric and flying sparks, Zhang Shaofei felt a sharp pain at his waist and covered it with his hand, only to find scratches already marring his armor.
"Who else wants to challenge me?" Leona placed her hands on her hips, her face a mask of disdain. If anyone else had made this gesture, it might have provoked a sense of revulsion in some, but coming from Leona—a thick-skinned yet remarkably cute and pretty girl—it was utterly captivating.
While those ordinary mortals with their mortal eyes were still frozen in astonishment, the two old men had already abducted the arrogant young lord and dragged him out to a desolate wilderness, where the old man lifted the youth and smashed him ruthlessly onto the ground.
Li Cuihua pursed her red lips and tilted her head, trying hard to recall the parts she had witnessed.
"Crimson Blood Demonic Flame, Leaving Fire to Open the Heavens!" Caught off guard, Selie Honglian lunged from the side with a sword thrust, engulfing Chiyou in a blazing inferno.
