31 Delusional Thinking
Su Huaishan felt a throbbing headache. He had hoped to gradually unravel the mystery, but instead, more people were becoming involved, and the riddles only grew in number.
Upon hearing this, he began to direct his men in the setup. Large-scale teleportation arrays like this varied according to the placement of spiritual stones; different configurations led to different destinations.
"Oh, Lord Madara is angry! Lord Madara is angry!" A mocking laugh rang out. Before Obito could become truly enraged, Zetsu took advantage of his natural ability and vanished.
Luo Xueer watched Bai Zijia depart and took a deep breath. She stared at the purple dot on her wrist for a moment, stunned, before pulling down her sleeve to cover it. She looked up at the gloomy sky and exhaled a long plume of white mist; the nights in the Western Regions were exceptionally cold.
At that moment, the Tuoba Xianbei army at the foot of Mount Yanran was marching with great difficulty. Their horses were exhausted, forcing them to continue on foot. Yet, they did not stop, for they sensed Liu Cheng’s massive army closing in behind them. If they lingered too long, they would surely be overtaken.
Tuoba Jiefen had intended to flee south, but his scouts discovered Liu Cheng’s forces pressing in from the front. Caught between pursuers at his back and enemies blocking his path, Tuoba Jiefen broke out in a cold sweat and immediately led his army westward.
Li Jiancheng, on the verge of losing consciousness due to the excruciating pain, gritted his teeth and gasped out three words before his vision went black and he fell into a faint. As for the victory or defeat that followed, or even his own life or death, it was no longer his concern.
On a wide road, amidst a procession stretching nearly two miles, an old man wrapped tightly in a fur cloak sat excitedly on an ox cart, pointing toward the phantom of a distant city and shouting with glee.
Could it be that the danger just now was merely a defensive measure? And since this was the place being defended, there was naturally no danger here?
There was a chilling aura here; the entire lake region was deeply mysterious and perilous.
It was his first time hearing of "aurora magnetic rays," a substance capable of preventing both humans and demonic beasts from channeling their vital energy.
"The wound has been bandaged, but there is a mild concussion. You will need to stay in the hospital for observation," the doctor replied.
The two men drew their broadswords, a formidable aura erupting from their bodies. It was clearly no less powerful than that of the City Lord, Bai Shan; both had surpassed the level of a nine-star Martial Master and were approaching the rank of Martial Spirit.
Watching Wudi approach step by step, and hearing his voice—which grew increasingly low, repressed, and furious—the four men were so terrified they lost control of their bowels. A foul stench filled the wooden hut. The man with the Mediterranean-style baldness even fainted on the spot.
"Old man, why are you here?" The lead officer looked at the old beggar, assuming he was a survivor who had happened upon them, and spoke with considerable kindness. "Do you need us to take you home?" The old beggar looked up at them and suddenly reached out his hand.
"Come, cheers!" The scene was filled with the spirit of the pugilistic world, characterized by drinking from large bowls and eating great chunks of meat.
He patted her on the forehead, then reached out an arm to pull Bai An'an into his embrace, covering her eyes.
He did not need to understand these principles. He only needed to reach the pinnacle, and naturally, he would grasp the nine great principles and achieve perfect fusion.
The common people grew increasingly fond of reminiscing about the past. The world of the past was like heaven, and everyone regretted not having cherished it properly. If given another chance, people would be willing to devote more time and energy to the anti-war movement and demand that all nations destroy their nuclear weapons.
Now, this blank sheet of paper had been scribbled over by me until it was a mess. It was filled with bizarre, unimaginable symbols—perhaps even more incomprehensible and mysterious than the religious carvings in Angkor Wat.
Wang Man hurriedly let go. Li Fangfei’s body went limp, and she tumbled down, her delicate face pressing right against his inner thigh. Even through the fabric, she could still feel the heat and hardness of his masculine bulge, and a blush crept across her pretty face.
That general grinned. "I am Zu Chelun! You Sui army scoundrels, remember this well! Don't go standing before King Yama unable to say who took your dog lives!" As he spoke, he swung his axe down through the air.
Therefore, he did not cherish this opportunity as much as Ji Jin and the others did. Moreover, he vaguely sensed that someone in the team was unhappy with him, though he didn't bother to investigate who it was, nor did he care to.
I could only sigh, thinking to myself that the old man was deliberately provoking me. Did he think he was Xu Zhimo? Departing gently, without taking away a single cloud?
"Is there still a need for hesitation? Perhaps I need to give you some more courage." Alfred Silver-Eye raised his hand and gestured to his subordinates.
"Young Master William, I am not siding with Misha; I am siding with the Cikafa family. If your enemy were anyone other than the Cikafa family, you would know how brave Tony is," Tony argued.
"Ugh, I am very sorry for your lack of trust in my medical skills. As the number one divine physician in the Huaxia Imperial Capital, I feel it is necessary to introduce myself. Hello, my name is Hao Yun, known in the underworld as 'Hao the First,' the Imperial Capital's top miracle doctor!" Hao Yun rubbed his nose, feeling frustrated.
However, after rubbing his eyes, Sun Xiaoxi was still looking at him with that eerie smile. Wu Yu instinctively took a step back, wanting to get away from her.
Suddenly, nine rays of silver light and five rays of golden light—dazzling and blinding blade auras and tokens—appeared before everyone’s eyes. Instantly, the crowd gasped in unison, and exclamations of shock erupted all around; they were completely unable to believe what they were seeing.
He snatched up a chopstick from the side and thrust it out at an angle. At the same time, he rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the killing blow from the bronze-faced young man.
