Chapter 72: Defending Ziqi with All One’s Might

Perhaps surprised and curious about my actions, Rias was initially startled, then glanced at me from the corner of her eye. I responded with a smile. At this moment, Wang Chen’s true form arrived, and with a swift gesture of his sword hands, the twin purple-blue blades sliced through the air, wrapped in an unstoppable sword aura. Strangely, the ferocious thunder titan offered no resistance and was shattered in a single blow.

Because Kurumi’s gaze remained fixed on him, even when their eyes met, she showed neither shyness nor hesitation.

None of these three paths suited me. Of course, I had ways to get the Kun family to invite me inside.

“In fact, there are quite a few artifacts hidden within the Ten Thousand Mountains. For example, that ancient battlefield and the stone tablet that stood at the front—even though no one deliberately forged it, the tablet was tainted by the demon blood of the Demon God Xiao Zhan, so it’s already reached the artifact level,” the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon shifted the conversation.

That was true; if antiques weren’t so lucrative, why would Li Xiongfeng, who knew nothing about them, risk so much to become a middleman in the trade?

Meanwhile, his left fist swung fiercely towards the right security guard’s cheek.

“Promise? What promise? It’s nothing but an unenforceable agreement—who cares?” Matsushita Yuki replied coldly.

“Though they’ve sealed the space, they’ve only blocked the three-dimensional realm, not the microcosmic space. My Sumeru Void Escape technique relies on the microcosmic realm for spatial jumps, so their barrier is useless,” Wang Chen explained with a faint smile.

Gin Ichimaru, seeing this, placed the lunch box on the bench, immediately opened it, picked up a piece of meat, and began chewing.

I smiled and nodded at them; unexpectedly, this brother-sister pair reacted as if facing a dire threat and hurriedly departed.

As for Li Chen’s future partner, the old matriarch was generous. When the two truly married, she would present another gift to Nie Wei.

Actually, Jiang Yao wasn’t unattractive—at least among ordinary people, she could be considered quite good-looking. Unfortunately, in the entertainment world, her looks simply couldn’t land her any decent roles.

He Zhiyu’s eyebrows still didn’t relax. He remained silent. Gao Jingqi’s ghost had been controlled? What kind of nonsense was this? Had he really plunged into these bizarre circles?

“We were safe enough.” Though Luo Can was already inclined to agree, he couldn’t help but add a comment.

I was really tempted to roll my eyes at this narcissist, but in the end, I “reluctantly” nodded, feigning admiration.

Judging by the first bomb, it was clear—the mastermind’s skill was exceptional. Crafting a bomb so unlike common types, it was entirely possible for it to evade detection devices.

The white net had been shredded by twin blades, left in tatters and on the brink of collapse.

“You summoned us, and we have answered your call. The transaction between you and us is fulfilled. The rest is none of our concern,” the dark entity said.

He raised his hand to turn Yu Zhiwei’s chin, intending to react as a ruler ought in such circumstances. But Yu Zhiwei suddenly shrank away.

“Such immense physical strength…” Mo Kun frowned, his fist aching. A single punch had left his entire arm numb.

She had lost again, had once more heard others urging her to give up ballet, but in the end, she turned and answered with a smile.

“If we must judge by the law, his crime does not warrant death.” The evidence laid out before them—everyone knew some was real, some was false.

“And her?” Seeing the perfectly tidy bed in the suite, the line of suspicion had not snapped, but on the other hand, Ji Mo was nowhere to be seen.

A joke—though the North Palace siblings weren’t professional fighters, they were both sixth-level evolvers, able to ignore firearms. Naturally, they were unafraid, and after another bout, dealt with their foes.

Back then, the Fu siblings escaped. The Fu family was protected by the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor finally relented. But not long after, came the news that Master Fu had died of illness. That was the official word, but what really happened was anyone’s guess.

Yu Zhiwei grumbled inwardly: she had often woken before dawn, and yet he was always playing chess with the venerable Duke Zhou.

Lin He’s situation was much more complicated. In the southeast, there were not only military units like the Provincial Guards but also the local Administration Council. So, unlike Yu Jingning’s carefree ways, he had to get past the Fujian-Zhejiang Governor Lian Jie.

Yelü Tong had a headache—thanks to the old veterans in the army, her two children had been thoroughly corrupted. Now, both were always pairing her with Murong An.

Just as Qiu Ze turned to leave, a faint sound echoed in the cave. He quickly halted, walked to the wellhead, and examined it closely. After a while, he found nothing amiss and gave up.

Upon entering, he noticed a large fish tank by the threshold, filled with various fish. Deeper in the hall, there were tanks in all four directions, even by the stairs. Ji Yuyan could already imagine that the second floor must have even more.

Fortunately, Dong Yue’s sword was extremely resilient. Though pressed into a crescent shape, it did not break. While pondering, Qiu Ze discovered a flaw in Li Daniu’s defense.

Sure enough, after just ten minutes, Ji Yuyan came knocking, worried she might fall and wondering if she needed help.

At that moment, Ji Yuyan covered her mouth, looking unwell and as if she were enduring some discomfort.

Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief—after all, on one side was her father, on the other her teacher. She feared Xu Shutao would refuse, embarrassing her father.

Cloud Boat dribbled past Nan Wei, faced Jin Zaehwan’s defense, crouched low, dropped his center of gravity, and forcefully bounced the basketball behind him.

Long Qianqian raised her hand to wipe away the black blood at her lips, but halfway up her hand dropped limply.
