45. Tiger-Skin Phoenix Claws

Kai Feng said, “Let’s get married in a week!” As he spoke, he gently kissed Sha Man on the forehead.

As for the reason, Bai Jianyi had already mentioned it to him six months earlier, so Yang Qi did not find anything unusual about it.

Kai Feng said, “Then we’ll be off. See you tomorrow!” With that, he waved and went home with Sha Man.

“How would I know? I’m not some fortune-teller setting up a stall by the roadside. Do you expect me to predict everything in advance?” Lin Banlei continued avoiding Qin Cang’s gaze, stubbornly clinging to the last shred of confidence in her voice.

She intended to use her mind’s eye to track the situation within the Nine Dragons Society while there was still time, before the large contingent of assassins arrived. At the same time, she would tell Zhao Leijun and Sheng Shiguang the information about the Nine Dragons Society that Pi Rong had confessed, so they could make preparations in advance.

The young man said nothing more. Purple lightning instantly spread across the spot, and he vanished.

Jiang Chen immediately sensed a destructive aura of thunder surging toward his face.

After Zhu Chang left, everyone looked at one another, utterly unable to believe what had just happened before their eyes.

Once they went inside, they found pale-blue wallpaper everywhere, giving the whole place a fresh, pleasant feel. The house stood right by the sea, and sitting before the window, one could hear the ocean breathing.

“Classy?” Tang Guo was somewhat bewildered by the remark. She truly could not see what was classy about Su Anbang.

Xia Tian realized that the turrets were fixed in place and could not move. Therefore, they could concentrate all their forces on guarding the central square and ignore the enemies around the perimeter. Since the turrets could not come over, the central square would remain safe for the time being.

Yet even after mobilizing all his informants, spies, and retainers, he had failed to uncover the slightest trace of the Imperial Jade Seal.

Only then did Lin Meier nod. Fearing that she might get lost here, I said to her, “Hide in this place. They will never imagine that you would be hiding here. Remember, no matter what happens, do not show yourself. As long as you remain hidden, we still have a chance of winning, and we can rescue Number Seven safely.”

He shook his head after hearing this and said, “There really isn’t one. Yesterday, Old Wang and his wife from our village spent half the night wandering around in the wilderness and caught colds from the freezing weather. When I came by during the day, they were getting injections.”

Purple bolts of lightning shot from the edge of the Demon Spiral Black Hole in clusters, their thunder rumbling like an endless roll of war drums across the heavens.

His purpose in coming this time was to obtain spirit stones. That was why Jiang Yi had purchased a large quantity of jade from Yang Yueru. The jade was not of particularly fine quality, but it contained a considerable amount of spiritual energy. Its market price was not high, making it ideal for cultivation.

Above the ground, six purple-copper rods formed the foundations of the formation, and the illusory radiance of a hexagonal Buddhist formation appeared.

Qin Zhao’s idea was quite reliable. After all, this place was near the harbor, and under normal circumstances, quite a few vehicles would be passing back and forth.

Peng Lianhai grunted. Below, Peng Wanli looked at the two men. “We explicitly required White Cloud City to send at least ten general-tier experts. Why are there only the two of you?”

Yang Yi suddenly understood. Against Cao Cao, this man had betrayed him twice—first by tricking him into entering the city, then by setting an ambush for him.

Ma Chao seemed unsure whether he should believe it. His face grew slightly pale, his brows drawing tighter and tighter as he remained silent for a long time.

“Lord Thanatos still hasn’t returned. We cannot afford any mishaps now. Take some soldiers and find out what happened.” Within Trocus City, a pale-faced vampire who looked as though his body had been hollowed out spoke from the council hall.

“A perilous lair? Heh. Who gave you such confidence?” Ao Xingfeng glared at the masked man, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Just as with Nicholas, the masked man suddenly felt the temperature around him plunge. For a moment, he was rendered speechless.

The lake was vast, radiating waves of icy cold. Yet it stirred something in Xia Moqiu’s memory. He seemed to have some vague impression of this lake.

Shi Nian had always been determined to surpass Number One. That ambition had been born the very day the system was implanted in him.

“Do not celebrate too soon. Even with the eight Star Spirits at your side, you are probably still no match,” Blood Wuji said coldly. The blood mist rising from within his body completely enveloped him.

Each of them stared at Perfected Immortal Xuanqing with blazing eyes, fierce as wolves and tigers. The sight made his hair stand on end, and he was so frightened that he dared not utter a word.

Hearing what the other party said, Li Lei suddenly understood. It seemed they truly knew about his affairs; otherwise, they would never have spoken that way.

Within the Rain Ninja Village, Katsuyu left after treating Wu Yong’s injuries. Aside from a few badly damaged internal organs, the rest of his wounds were merely external and would be easy to treat.

At noon, after lunch, the two of them went out for a stroll, which also counted as keeping Gong Yuhan company.

Sizzle, sizzle—

Beside a bottomless cavern, electricity crackled and darted about. The cavern was only about two meters wide, but no one—not even the highest-level experts—could say how deep it truly went.

As for Xue Wang, he had not shown himself even once in all this time, as though he had vanished completely. Because the Sun family had gone back on their word, Shangguan Tianming withdrew every enterprise that had been cooperating with him. The loss had been devastating, and he was now busy cleaning up the mess.

After more than a hundred members of Azure Dragon Stronghold had fallen, half of them reduced to corpses with blood streaming across the ground, the survivors began to grow afraid. Though they still swung their weapons with impressive force, every strike landed only in empty air. They surrounded Wu Kong tightly, each one eager to attack, yet not a single person dared step forward.

After barely escaping disaster during the day, I never imagined that night would bring another nightmare. If I lose my chastity, I do not want to go on living.

“Luck?” At the very beginning, it was not only Xiao Jianfeng—even the dozen or so other patriarchs were momentarily stunned.
