"You cannot leave!" Driven to desperation, Ou Jinyu clung to Chu Xia's arm with the unreasonable tenacity of a spoiled child, refusing to let go. "In any case, you... you cannot leave!" He had almost let the word "die" slip out, but he swallowed it back so hard he nearly bit his tongue.

However, the merit system for Li Bao's upgrade had only reached level 3, still two levels away from level 5, and the million points required exceeded Yin Yi's expectations.

"Big sister, please, I beg you to save my husband!" As soon as the words left Qiu Xiang's lips, tears began to stream down her face.

"Sword Qi? Someone has actually managed to master Sword Qi!" Sword Qi was a form of combat energy that had been lost to the continent for hundreds of years, and even with the right methods, it was incredibly difficult to learn.

Possessing the imposing aura of someone who had held a high position for years and holding formidable strength, his rage caused Zheng Qinghen, who was shielding Zheng Xiyuan, to shudder instantly.

Before the words had even faded, a crisp "slap" echoed through the air as a resounding blow landed on the green-robed man's face.

Tian Lan said, "The Princess is right; I was just intending to explain it to you. Hehe, surely you wish to know who was playing the zither that day..." He retrieved the Six-Tune Snow Zither from his storage ring, laid it flat across his knees, and smiled at Bing Die.

Because she had defeated Qu Xiaoxiao with an original song on the highest-rated show in the stellar entertainment industry, she was being viciously targeted by the other woman's fans.

Jiu You, one of the protectors currently in front of him, possessed the strength of a tenth-rank Demon God and could be considered a monster among the Demon race; yet, he had been defeated by Luo Zitong in just five moves—and with effortless ease, at that.

"Come with me to a place." The newcomer simply smiled quietly, saying nothing more. A handkerchief in his hand suddenly pressed against Yue Sheng's nose, causing her to lose consciousness instantly.

Meanwhile, the ball of internal energy within his abdomen had withered like a frost-bitten eggplant; its volume had shrunk by nearly ninety percent, and it spun listlessly.

The yang energy of a living person mostly seeps out from the area between the eyebrows. By sealing that spot with my essence blood, I have effectively sealed the yang energy within the body for the time being.

The drawbacks were as obvious as the power. From the start of the preparations until now, how much time had passed? Moreover, Liao Tian could not be certain if the preparations had truly begun at that moment. He could only determine the shortest possible duration, which was not necessarily the actual time passed.

"Miss Leng, I..." Liao Jing's already pale complexion turned even paler as he hurriedly tried to explain.

When Fang Xu recounted these experiences, he did so with profound shock, and the others listening were equally stunned. At the same time, there was a trace of reverence for Qing Lianyi; it was clear that they had already come to view her as a terrifyingly powerful figure.

Jiang Tian's expression turned grim. If the person arriving was Li Taibai, they likely wouldn't be able to match his combat strength. Unless he abandoned Piggy and Lu Xin to flee immediately, he would likely be enslaved by the opponent once again.

The slightly gaunt Martial King on the left calmed the burning intensity in his eyes and asked in a steady tone.

Chen Fan gestured, and a tranquil celestial bead appeared in his palm. It was much brighter than an ordinary moonstone and was perfect for illumination.

Seeing this, Wu Jing cast one last look at the courtyard gate where Li Wujie was imprisoned, then had no choice but to follow Hasim.

Chen Fan could not help but look puzzled, so much so that he paid little attention while Hu Xiang'er introduced the backgrounds of the others.

She was born with incomparable beauty, and when she smiled, she looked like a celestial consort. Her thick, ink-black hair cascaded over her shoulders and chest. She seemed like the most mysterious fairy from legends, yet also a siren in the mortal world who could hold a man's life and death in her hands.

The howling outside was irritating; it was indeed a bit noisy, but to cut out tongues because of it—my Prince, don't you think that is a bit too bloody?

"Get out, all of you, get out! Don't let anyone in; I don't want to see anyone, I don't want to see anyone at all!" Ding Ding's pitiful, delicate voice did not calm Consort Wan's fury; instead, it only further incited her rage.

Chu Yi was struck with terror. He had pushed his Void Seal to its absolute limit, yet he hadn't managed to injure the opponent in the slightest.

Evidently, this massive furnace was the core fire of the earth left behind after Chu Yi had moved the Flame Mountain.

Watching the various displays of Gu Lie, Qin felt a sudden jolt. Seeing Gu Lie’s genuine emotions at that moment, he immediately believed nine-tenths of what he said.

Chu Yi reached out and demanded medicinal pills and energy stones from Jiang Jiantong and Han Zhang, causing both of their expressions to shift slightly.

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly, lest I get annoyed and eat you all." Kui Long tilted his head, looking down at Wu Caichan.

He tried to leave, but as soon as he moved, she began to cry again, twisting her body and struggling to push him away fiercely.

Since the other party had helped him so much, and Chu Yi was unfamiliar with the mysterious Black Dragon Token, he figured that if he gave it away, so be it.

He stretched out both palms. They were completely intact, and apart from being a bit dirty, the explosive wounds from the previous battle had already vanished without a trace.

"A member of the Imperial Guard just came by my place!" Niu Laifu wiped the sweat from his forehead, still struggling to catch his breath.

Rong Aotian clutched his kicked wrist tightly, curled up on the carriage board, and was in so much pain he could barely speak. Unable to call for help, he could only gasp through gritted teeth.

In a certain desolate, ancient alley, a thatched hut that appeared relatively intact seemed to emit faint, fragmented whispers. Peering through the fine cracks, one could see the absurd and salacious scene of Lianyi.

"You lecherous ghost, you even want to pry into your master's private affairs?" Feng Qianjin interrupted. However, the tone made it impossible to tell if she was angry or merely teasing.

"Hiding is for cowards! I, Fearful Pig, never hide or dodge!" In his panic, Fearful Pig suddenly leapt from the gutter, continuing his desperate, doomed sprint.

So this was the world of immortal cultivation; she had finally learned the full extent of human coldness. This realization made her even more convinced that she shouldn't have helped. Moreover, it was clearly not the same blood-sucking bat that had been injured and fled earlier; it was larger in size, and its true strength was unfathomable.
