Chapter 21

In an instant, the token erupted with brilliant light, and an intricate formation manifested before Zhang Han.

However, blind defense is futile against absolute offense. Under the masked man’s direction, Bai Mozhi’s attacks grew increasingly ferocious.

Lei Zhiliang, the official in charge of the workshop for the county government, possessed a handsome face, though his skin was a sallow, dark yellow with an oily sheen that made him seem ill-suited for a capable official managing a medium-sized county’s engineering, construction, and water conservancy affairs.

Fu Yuxiu listened to the conversation across from him, his gaze lingering on Yun Anyue, who was acting coquettishly in Su Mengyi’s arms.

Meng Hai had already placed his bets. Upon arriving at the venue, he took a glance at the information from the livestream.

Other than the fact that his helmet was no longer on his head but instead lay on the ground, sliced in two, he did not even seem to have broken a sweat.

Leon always harbored inexplicable, inherent biases toward certain people and matters. For instance, his natural affinity toward himself and his innate repulsion toward a particular organization.

At this moment, Han Ji was panting heavily while coordinating with those at the peak battlefield and the North City Gate, while Qin Yi and Jiang Shaoli of the Southern Military Department, who had arrived with him, had already swiftly entered the fray to provide support elsewhere.

"Feng Xu has lived and worked abroad for a long time. Moreover, Yunhua’s overseas channels rely mainly on Sifulan, which is already a mature channel. We don't need to worry too much about it."

Nearby, Shopkeeper Ding, having just regained his senses, swept his eyes over the two and shook his head with disdain, as if looking at two madmen.

But Tang Feng’s Ni Cang War Blade had already been infused with his immense spiritual power, long since activating the sealed power within the blade.

At this time, there was naturally no need to waste precious spirit stones; simply absorbing the spiritual energy from the air was sufficient. It would merely take a bit longer.

From that day on, whether Qing Weijun went to the restroom or ate a meal, he was followed everywhere by two figures in black robes. Even after work, Qing Weijun was confined to the company and was not allowed to go home at all.

This indicated that it was Li Yuanshuang’s doing; it was swift, yet it also caught Su Ming off guard.

Duanmu Lihua, lost in a dream, could feel her heart aching, as if she had lost something of the utmost importance.

Hearing the young man’s cry of pain, Wu Zijian finally looked up. What met his eyes was a young man in blue, whom he had inadvertently knocked over beneath the striking three-foot-tall sign hanging in the hall.

"You’ve lost your mind!" Guo Momo, hearing his words, trembled with rage, pointing a finger at him as she shouted sharply.

Nie Wushuang nodded; she was certain she understood. Although Wu Lingbo’s words were complex, she had grasped them completely.

Yang Tian looked at the curves of her figure, which resembled a gourd, sighed inwardly, and followed suit by turning over to sleep.

"The stone bridge is wide. In a moment, we will shift from one line to two. That way, the mechanical bears can stand in two rows, and the hunters should move forward, positioning themselves behind the pugilists. Mid-to-long-range attacks will have the advantage in this battle," Qin Haonan said, walking toward the front of the team.

Ibila had eight clones, and these clones did not distinguish between primary and secondary. When the eight clones merged, they brought a total amplification of 128 times.

"What do we do now? If we don't have the key, didn't we just waste all our effort?" Rampaging Brick was also feeling anxious at this point.

After devouring Ye Nan, Bai gained a conceptual form of immortality. However, this seemingly formidable ability had a weakness: while the Guardians could not pierce Bai’s defenses, the impact force from high-speed collisions still affected Bai’s body.

Ji Ling did not speak, as if he had stepped into another dimension; even his aura could not be locked onto. With Bai Le’s strength, it was impossible to do anything to him.

Seeing that Wukong was ignoring his heaven-defying killing blow and continuing to slash wildly, Yang Jian’s expression turned cold, and he swung his weapon as he gave chase.

"Did you really come looking for these items to save lives?" Yin Canghun asked, taking a sip of wine.

"Hmph, leaving? Since you’ve come, none of you are leaving!" The monkey heroically stabbed his Ruyi Jingu Bang into the coffin lid at his feet, his presence exuding dominance.

This was evident from the fact that Ban Qi, who ranked first in aptitude and cultivation during this assessment, had only managed to open the secondary constellation of the third heaven.

Ceng Ying was a deputy general she had just promoted, a man of integrity. Han Yuan felt slightly relieved and was about to catch Qian Wan to continue discussing battle tactics when she heard a sudden, sharp voice from outside the camp.

"Materials, materials~" Jia Zhengjin was in a good mood. He first placed the two sets of remains on the altar, then added various replenishing materials. Afterward, in the recruitment interface, he indeed saw the option for [Demon King].

But when the figure of the Evil Buddha Buxiu appeared on the hilltop, all that beauty instantly turned cold as iron.

"This annoying magical creature, can I kill him?" Demon King Singer glared viciously at Shemos.

Pan Jinlan listened and immediately returned to the kitchen. She fried chicken nuggets, garnished them with vegetables and green onions, and stuffed them into two large steamed buns. After making twenty in a row, she brought them out. Chen Ergou showed no restraint; he grabbed one and ate, praising it between bites.

Some human cultivators always harp on how humans and demons cannot coexist, claiming that those who are not of one’s own kind must have different intentions, and they want to capture any demon they see.

After the turmoil ended, Old Master Li did not abandon his wife and children like most of the educated youth, but instead returned to the Li family with them.

"This is Li Chengshi, sent by Madam Li to assist me," Nie Wei said, pointing to the man beside him to introduce him.

Although Master Liu’s strength was meager, his heart was not evil. He knew how powerful that vengeful spirit was, and he feared that if he did not provide a warning soon, the hotel would become a living hell.

"Lightning and thunder!" Zige raised his staff once more. The sky filled with dark, heavy clouds, and lightning as thick as bowls struck down in a dense barrage.
