Volume 1, Chapter 39: The Cuju Challenge, Provocation from the Barbarian Lands

"Your Majesty, may the competition begin?" Ashina Duer asked triumphantly, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Father, Mother, I have my own discretion regarding this matter. However, please take a look at these," Chu Yaotian said, bringing out what he held in his hands.

Hu Yun nodded slightly, rising from her seat among the elders. After Mo Jiyuan departed, she walked up to the Mountain Master’s throne but did not sit down.

Wen Qingdai shouted, and with a swift tail-swipe of a water dragon, she sent the bandit attempting to ambush Yang Ming soaring into the air, only for him to fall and plummet to his death.

"The last condition?" Zhang Yue pondered for a moment, finally recalling it: he wanted to bring his apprentice to attend her wedding with Meng Jiarui.

Knocking down one beast with a single punch, Han Lin did not stop, lunging first toward the blood lynx whose front claw had been shattered. Although the two remaining lynxes were accustomed to constant slaughter, they had never encountered such ferocity; for a moment, fear outweighed their fighting spirit, and they turned to flee for their lives.

Yang Ming handed the gift box to Yiyue. After she unwrapped it, she looked at Yang Ming in surprise.

Perhaps his first flicker of the ripple wave did not reach the "career peak" of his performance, serving merely as a trial run, but by the time it reached me, he already had the experience of one strike.

Mu Chenghai retreated two steps, looking at Mu Qing in disbelief; he moved his lips, but ultimately remained silent.

After the first punch landed, he did not withdraw his hand; instead, he struck directly at a main blood vessel, simultaneously unleashing a high-frequency vibration. These attacks caused Yaxu immense pain, and the sensation of being unable to catch her breath forced her to experience true suffocation.

Because of the Lunar New Year, fireworks and firecrackers were set off in both courtyards. After everyone had fallen asleep, the maid lit a fire in the right side chamber, starting with the bedsheets.

When the lead demon made contact with the group’s onslaught, it finally realized that something was wrong. A look of terror instantly appeared on its horrific, ghastly face, but it was already too late.

Lu Man was amused to the point of laughter. This girl was loyal, but she couldn't even outwit a maid like Hong Ling; compared to the cunning and overbearing servants in a wealthy household, she didn't even measure up to a single strand of their hair.

"No, the Earth Fiend Sect must have medicinal powder for wounds. Just go and find that. Remember, if there is wine, bring me a flask, and if there is food, as much as possible," Zhang San said, clutching his waist.

Yu Lele had not expected such a handsome young student to appear, and he seemed quite familiar with Jin Amei; however, it was obvious that the two were likely relatives.

She opened the cabinet door and examined it from top to bottom again, focusing on the seams, and tapped on every surface, yet she still found nothing amiss. She began to inspect the inside of the cabinet door, but from top to bottom, she saw nothing unusual. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she did not want to dismantle the cabinet, as it would attract too much attention.

The car spun 360 degrees, made a U-turn, and drove without pause toward an intersection up ahead.

Luo Yuan was slightly better off, barely managing to scrape together one hundred million. But Shen Kun truly only had seventy or eighty million in cash.

The Vampire Clan adjusted their attitude toward humans in time, suppressing their greed for human blood and turning instead to more moderate methods of acquisition.

After Liu Wanshan and Wang Maocai finished the food on the table, they left in a hurry. Feeling disheartened and defeated, they no longer had the heart to engage in polite pleasantries with Li Fengman.

However, Li Ming, who had just begun his cultivation, suddenly felt that sensation of being watched again in his martial heart. The difference this time was that he could perceive the owner of that gaze.
