Chapter 168: Number 01 Has Arrived

"You must be careful of this person. She preys upon the supernatural abilities of others, and after her victims are plundered, their life force gradually dissipates. You must be cautious."

"Hmph."

Though Sister Bing was somewhat surprised by Shiyi's sudden appearance, it was within reason. With just a fleeting flash, she smiled softly, her voice carrying a gentle undertone.

Upon hearing the words "plundering supernatural abilities," the smile at the corner of Sister Bing's mouth instantly turned cold.

"Shiyi, you certainly know—"

Lanzhi angrily unleashed a second strike, but this time the sweeping long whip was merely a decoy, closely followed by the concealed thorns hidden behind it. The thorns gleamed an abnormal black, as if dripping with deadly poison.

He said, "Sigh, who would have thought that staying in this sunless Netherworld would last for a century, with no chance whatsoever of reincarnation? I still remember the circumstances of my arrival here. Zhu Gui, do you still remember when you arrived?" Wasn't Zhu Gui the name of the evil spirit transformed from Zhang Si'er?

However, such secret arts capable of locking onto the exact location of a cultivator lost all effectiveness in front of Zhu Wushuang.

"Ha, stop pretending! You thought that because I was unconscious, I was a fool... I saw it all. A man carried you away, and I saw the two of you embracing, being all affectionate on the boat. These past few days I've been so heartbroken. Chengfeng treats you so well, why did you betray him?!" Biting cried out harshly.

It turned out that he had been like a snow-covered mountain, Mount Fuji itself, yet now the volcanic magma beneath, once deemed nearly impossible to erupt, was surging forth—so scorching, so passionate, and somewhat terrifying.

Following that, sitting cross-legged and circulating her vital energy, Yun Chi began her cultivation. According to the cultivation manual, she had to start with body refinement first.

The sea of flowers remained brilliant, but the golden butterflies dancing in the sky had now all turned blood-red. As they fluttered, it felt as though blood were dripping from their wings.

Following the chilling fall of Jun Qiyan's voice, four burly men below the exhibition stage strode aggressively toward Gu Du Liusha.

Beneath the warm sunlight, Donghuang Taiyi's complexion appeared even fairer, the scales on his serpentine tail reflecting a silvery luster with a faint, flowing radiance.

Even if one were willing to remain a mere mortal, whether it was Master Biancong or Yan Xiuying, both could easily become obsessed with academic research into the Dao of numerology and divination, preferring to treat it as their life's work.

Because I believe happiness must be fought for, just like Shen Linfeng; he was unwilling to sit still and await his doom. I have wasted a lot of time these past few days and was on the verge of despair. The reason I lived under Hu Mei's shadow was simply because I lacked money and power, leaving me vulnerable to her bullying and threats.

I examined the Xuanli Sword in my hand. I could feel that, enhanced by the two giant dragons—one black, one white—and the dragon pearl, the Xuanli Sword possessed even greater power than before. If I were to cross blades with the Demon-Locking Chain again, I believe I wouldn't even need to use my full strength; the sheer might of the Xuanli Sword alone would be enough to sever that chain.

They could only shell the frontline positions, immediately followed by four ambushed heavy artillery brigades launching targeted elimination strikes. This took the Germans completely by surprise, as the enemy's artillery range was simply too far.

At this moment, Li Tingting wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, scrambled up, and managed to put on whatever was left of her torn clothes. Unlike Li Tingting, Liang Jiamei huddled aggrievedly in the corner of the bed; apart from suffering abuse, she had not been beaten too severely.

"You, shut the fuck up!" I slammed my head back, pointing directly at the instructor and shouting.

"So, you are still determined to seek death!" Xiang Gangtian said with an evil smile, his five fingers closing tightly. Pang Lidao's head burst between his fingers, and his primordial spirit naturally could not escape destruction.

Gazing at the departing Jian Wushuang, Luo Hao did not say anything further. Although the fierce battle with him had been fraught with extreme danger, through this exchange, he had gained personal insights into swordsmanship.

"Hehe, A-Lan, I already knew." Dian Feng chuckled with a lewd expression on his face—an expression he hadn't worn in a long time.

After I said this, Zequan naturally had no objections, but Xinyu was somewhat displeased. Clearly, she did not want me to spend time alone with Hu Xiaoyan. Yet in the end, reluctant though she might be, she still left the room.

Ye Feng's gaze flickered. The blessed land left behind by a half-step Emperor would undoubtedly contain an abundance of treasures.

For Bai Yujing, figuring out the truth of this place was far more important than helping these disciples cultivate.

There was just one thing she found utterly perplexing: if Meng Wei truly cared so much about her situation, why had he allowed her past life to degenerate into that ultimate fate?

Just as Father Yue was about to speak, Yue Caiwei pressed down on his hand, her eyes warning him: I am not asking you, I am her.

Upon hearing that Black Shadow and Daylight had been injured, General Snake furrowed his brow: "How severe are their injuries?"

Later, when Shen Biyue arrived, Prince Yu's attention was completely drawn away. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing only after Prince Yu had departed. Yet, recalling Prince Yu's attitude toward Shen Biyue just moments before, she felt a lingering sense that something was amiss.

The long saber Xuanfeng had used in battle was indeed a king-grade divine weapon, but during the melee, it had been lost somewhere unknown.

Wan Er and Wan San had just crawled out of the pool. The wind blew, chilling them to the bone. They were about to rain curses upon Dashiquan when they caught sight of Shao Yan and instantly clamped their mouths shut, trembling even more violently.

Since it was impossible to obtain the exact opposing coordinates, waiting for the opponent to appear was also a viable choice.

Who was Huiku? To receive such a remark from him could already be considered the highest form of praise.

The scarred-faced man let out a low roar, his ten fingers instantly transforming into claws as sharp as a wolf's. In an instant, he activated the Stars-as-Body technique and lunged at Lin Feng with a single claw strike. Amplified by his peak tier-nine Martial Master cultivation, the power of this claw was pushed to the absolute limit.

"What? Are you afraid your wife is going to be stolen away, so you specifically came to block people here?" Qin Pinshang said with a mocking sneer.

If old Qi's words were true, I ought to send a reply to Yingying to spare her any worry.
