"Peng Demon King, when is the optimal moment to activate the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Formation?" Yan Wu asked Zui Xiaoyao.

Jiang Rui had shielded herself with several layers of surrounding flower petals, covering herself tightly. Blood continuously seeped from her body, and the leopard-claw wounds were so deep that the bones showed clearly.

During the new disciples’ competition, the senior disciples were warned by the sect not to enter the North Square to watch the contests or practice martial arts. It was only today that the North City Square was opened to all disciples.

Looking at them, one felt an urge to rush forward and teach Qian Feng and Ling Hao—those two who loved to show off—a lesson they wouldn’t forget.

After bidding farewell on her knees, Mu Jinxi returned to her room. Outside, music filled the air, and many dignitaries and nobles had arrived.

“Master, people from the Chen family say they wish to invite Young Master Mu Yi...” While Han Lingzi, Han Meng’er, and Mu Yi were talking, a servant hurried in respectfully to report.

This battle was somewhat different from before. Since we are still under the deep-sea shield’s protection, we cannot act separately and must gather together. Although this formation is disadvantageous for us, given the current situation, it’s the only option.

“Heaven’s will cannot be opposed. Perhaps this is why your father does not want us to be together,” Yin Su said with great pain, yet there was nothing he could do. Now that the Jade Emperor had taken his rightful place, he must do the same. Even if entangled, it is better to let go sooner rather than later.

The man suddenly released her, but fortunately, Nan Fengjue caught Wu Meng in time; otherwise, she would have fallen hard.

“It seems... Lan Fan has confidence now, daring to openly provoke me. How is Zhu Chengye?” Lan Rongyue’s tone was calm. The slight surprise she once showed had long vanished, replaced by wisdom, decisiveness, and composure.

Tony Stark covered his eyes and sank weakly into his chair, unwilling to witness the tragic scene of beauty torn apart before him.

Fortunately, Xue Xu foresaw Professor X’s repeated demise and warned Lin Tao. Although it was unclear what she said to him, the Black Phoenix directly attacked Lin Tao, preventing heavy losses.

“I can only say I’ll try; I’m not confident,” Bao’er shrugged, though she was even more nervous inside.

The reason Tao Min hadn’t acted these days was because he was still undecided about what to do. He intended to pry open Ji Tonghai’s mouth to learn Yulin Bay’s true intentions and next moves, but now it seemed that plan was doomed to fail.

Almost every part of the island, including the building walls and windows, was embedded with fine iron filings and magnetic powder, controlled by Joseph’s men. Silent infiltration underground was nearly impossible.

“Exactly! Are you still going to keep that sour face?” Liu Lingfeng sneered. For once, he didn’t contradict He An.

Xu Lang felt a headache coming on. The Vietnam issue had to be resolved. Only with full control over Vietnam could Yulin Bay claim a solid rear base; otherwise, Hainan Island alone was insufficient.

Flames erupted from the barrels of the three cannons in rapid succession, and a barrage of modern shells struck the Dutch flagship. Governor-General Anthony’s flagship on the Batavia side was riddled with cannon holes on the port side, igniting a fierce blaze.

“Wow, could it be that you interrupted her and her boyfriend while they were in bed?” Jiang Jiang exclaimed in surprise.

What’s going on? Although she had been busy formulating plans recently, just a few days apart, is it really so embarrassing that she can’t even get an invitation anymore?

Xu Chengyan returned to his room, pacing back and forth while carefully analyzing the search operation from that evening.

At this moment, Cao Ruian had lost his usual calm demeanor and, unable to contain his excitement, clapped and cheered.

Looking into the heavy rain not far away, he saw a group carrying several large bags walking through the downpour.

As for Wei Xiaoche’s apology, it seemed on the surface to be for asking about his brother, but in truth, it was for failing to grasp his brother’s hand that day.

On the not-too-long, not-too-short walk back from the morning court session, Lord Zhuang was so absorbed in his own monologue that he failed to notice the two figures beside him.

But he was different; the Elemental Bottle bestowed upon him not only power but an ability unique in the world.

After finishing the breakfast his mother left for him, Han Bochao suddenly received a call from an unknown number. The caller was Lu Ran, the current CEO of Hengxing Asset Management.

Yu Dongshui, who had been waiting for the opponent’s reaction to better predict movements and improve accuracy, felt a flicker of doubt but quickly decided to kill immediately to avoid future troubles.

However, the opposing top laner, Tree, completely ignored Huang Xiao, preferring to let minions pass rather than trade blows. This sneaky tactic frustrated both Huang Xiao and Han Bochao greatly.

Just as Sui Yu was complaining inwardly, the two giant fists transformed again, illusions conjured by Rimuru.

“Alright!” The system directly controlled the arm guard, clipping off a segment. Then, metallic powder gathered on Luo Yu, forming the “Death Knight Garen” armor, with the greatsword strapped to his back.

Many things were damaged as well, especially the brocade fabrics—some eaten by moths, others gnawed by mice.

Miaomiao lifted her skirt and leaned in, wrapping her arms around his neck. Mu Sheng gently lifted her upward without warning, almost causing her to tumble down. Frustrated, she patted his shoulder hard. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you acting so weird?”

Even in death, he did not wish to die here. With the last bit of life, he wanted to see what lay beyond the town and would be content with that.

The next moment, she suddenly woke with a start. Sharp pain surged in her neck—someone was tightly strangling her, preventing her from breathing.
