Volume 1, Chapter 26: Truly, the Wise Cannot Avoid Falling in Love

Qin Dongxue was slightly surprised, yet remained unmoved—she knew Qin Zheng had only told half the truth.

"Didn't expect that, did you? Don't think my Hound Demon Beast is limited to such trivial tricks. As long as I am willing, you cannot stop my body's evolution," the Hound Demon Beast growled with a hideous expression.

"Both of you, please calm down. Let us set this matter aside for now." The deity in white robes was drenched in cold sweat. His primordial energy could not sustain him for long, and especially when facing the explosive space of chaos attribute, he dared not guarantee he could escape unscathed.

Just after dinner, Zhou Hui rushed in, saying the Master had invited the village elders, the heads of the militia, and the squad leaders to the schoolhouse for a meeting, and requested that Zhou Hui and his two companions accompany the old scholar Luo Yin to attend as well.

"Sword Art of Chaotic Slaughter, First Form: Thousand-Fold Sword." The radiance of the Sky Demon Dragon Sword surged again, directly manifesting into towering mountains of blades. Standing within these mountains were dense rows of longswords, their sword auras erupting and instantly coalescing in the void to form a thousand-foot giant blade surrounding the Sky Demon Dragon Sword.

Shen Yingjie, however, was different; he was the personal attendant assigned by the instructor, and nothing could be hidden from him. In truth, Li Tianchou had no intention of hiding anything. As for his own inexplicable supernatural abilities, if they could understand them, so be it; if not, he certainly would not waste his breath explaining.

"Mu Yun, why must we keep waiting? I can't stand it anymore." Tie Feng remained his usual self, boisterous and impetuous. Seeing that Tie Muyun insisted on waiting two more days, he felt rather dissatisfied.

Yet, despite their lack of restraint, they ate with a grace that was truly pleasing to the eye.

"Su Yan!" Zhong Lingyu’s voice rose by eight octaves. She immediately covered his mouth with her hand, pouting and saying she understood, and that he should stop nagging.

Having said this, the villain hung up the phone in a rage and strode away carrying his blade. Passersby all scrambled to get out of his way, fearing he might be a lunatic who would slash at anyone he saw.

This was a new district, not yet bustling and sparsely populated. Being a relatively secluded alleyway, they naturally had no fear of disturbing others.

Players in the main cities where the Tower of Floating Skies and the Blood Judgment Legion were located were particularly agitated.

Touching the scar on her face, which still felt rough to the touch, she lowered her elven eyes to hide the faint sorrow within, sighed, and walked out of the Xin Prince's Mansion.

In the blink of an eye, these deities vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared at all.

Wounds were already beginning to appear on Hou Yu's body, blood flowing incessantly. Clearly, he had been struck several times by the Shadowless Fist technique, which utilized cutting spirit energy that even the toughest body could not withstand.

For a time, aboard the massive ship, ammunition and flames formed a tight defensive line, struggling to fend off the dense swarm of fierce creatures.

Li Zhiling immediately called out a price of twenty million, and the entire hall erupted in gasps; everyone turned to look.

"Li'er, come back to your senses!" Watching Ji Zili stand there in a daze, Mo Yu Jingchen felt happier than if he had eaten honey.

"I forgot to introduce everyone. This is the legendary Poison Doctor of the martial arts world, and also my master," Ji Zili announced.

"I believe we should show some sincerity in advance," Qin Shiyu said. "How about inviting the Ghost Clan to join us now? Even if you don't trust us for the moment and don't view this place as your home, all the fruits of your labor will be yours alone. Consider it a trial period for our cooperation."

Naturally, the emergence of the Super Gene Serum also drew concern and opposition from many prominent influencers and so-called public intellectuals online.

Lady Xuanhua knew the relationship between Xiao Zhongping and Emperor Yang; Xiao Zhongping's attitude toward her largely reflected the Emperor's feelings. Seeing him so respectful and courteous, she felt a great sense of relief.

However, ordinary awakened warriors could not achieve an outburst like Chen Ran's, so there was no point in comparing.

In the middle of a barren desert, Wu Hao stood atop Aierlusi, checking the latest beast detector issued to extraordinary warriors.

The azure sky, the bright sunshine, the pristine white beach, the gentle sea breeze, and the rhythmic sound of crashing waves finally blew away the gloom in Zhou Huiru's heart.

Han Xue had no choice but to stand up and head toward the shack. She felt no reluctance; instead, she was filled with anticipation, for after so many rounds, she had already become addicted.

"I've already told my mom and dad before. I'll just let them know the specific time later," Xia Qingling said with a smug smile at Chen Ran.

She was no match for the Young Master of Yunluo from earlier. The intensity of his sword qi was such that if she had faced it, she likely would have been slaughtered instantly. No defense could resist that sharpness; it was an absolute, overwhelming power.

Afterward, she distanced herself from those people, chose a direction on her own, found cover, and crouched behind it.

With Long Jinyu's arrangement, the carriage carrying Helan Yao passed through the city gates without obstruction. Once outside, the coachman continued on his way with professional diligence, rarely stopping except to stay at inns each night. The group, along with a tiger, traveled in this manner for three days.
