Volume 1, Chapter 31: Interrupting the Incantation
If one were to ask where the most ships on the island could be found, it would undoubtedly be the east coast. However, with a tsunami now approaching, heading toward the shore was hardly a wise move. Where else, then, might one find a means of escape? Fortunately, he could still breathe, and he could feel the spiritual energy of the earth slowly gathering toward him, replenishing his physical form. Only the cultivation techniques of the immortal realms could truly elevate the soul, potentially even granting it power far surpassing that of the flesh and bestowing peerless abilities; but for now, Fan Xueli would never take such a risk.
The freezing lake water hissed, parting into two curtains of water hundreds of fathoms deep. The immense sound and turbulence reached the bottom of the lake, causing the surrounding earth to tremble incessantly.
Liu Tang's death acted as a signal. The once pitch-black Sui camp suddenly illuminated with thousands of torches. Ten thousand elite Sui soldiers appeared before the Tang army like an impenetrable iron wall, banners flying and blades standing like a forest. The Tang soldiers, previously in high spirits, were momentarily stunned into stillness. Seeing the Turks and a detachment of the Tang army charging toward them, the Sui commander, Chang Yuchun, let out a roar. He swept his long blade in a massive arc, and with a flash of steel, the heads of three Turkish cavalrymen rolled to the ground.
"They attacked Rome; they attacked our fleet. They seek global hegemony. They are a nation from the East, led by Nine Heavens, a country whose government is controlled by transcendent beings. Their sneak attack is undeniable and unforgivable."
A new round began, and the old man immediately placed the maximum bet: one hundred thousand euros. If he won this hand, the chips in front of him would exceed one million euros.
"I don't care, you must enter this competition. You must! If you don't, I will never speak to you again." The system fell silent for a moment, and when it returned, its voice was choked with tears. Unable to win the argument, Han Shengqi had no choice but to agree.
Once one enters the Supreme Realm, one truly gains the ability to challenge those of higher levels, possessing the potential and qualifications of a Half-Saint.
"Alright!" Zhu Chong gave the door a fierce kick, but he had not expected it to be left ajar, and taken by surprise, he tumbled right through.
Although he had left that fellow's territory, he dared not let his guard down, setting up three layers of restrictions before preparing to act.
Yang Xiao glanced at her without a word, instead casting his mental energy directly into her consciousness.
Half a year ago, Wang Qianhe suddenly told Yang Zhentian that after scouring the medical classics, he had discovered a pill that could cure Yang Xiao, but the primary ingredient required was the inner core of a Tier 4 savage beast.
Fang Tianhua expressed his gratitude, though he knew the school leadership at Eternal University must have valued the "suspected Eternal Dragon God Physique" in his basic combat data.
"No, no, how could your uncle be so violent? I have always preferred reason over force," Lu Yan said without the slightest blush.
Moreover, the people of the Ye family dared to pressure the Yang family, using the excuse that Yang Xiao had refused to participate in the sect tournament and showed no regard for sect rules.
Before entering, he had many strategies for dealing with this guest he had yet to meet, but once he realized who the person truly was, all his thoughts were thrown into disarray.
Lin Shizhong, Lin Shijin, and the other cultivators were filled with envy. Lin Zecheng, in particular, had eyes glowing with greed; even though his injuries had not yet healed, he continued to scan the beach, hoping for the appearance of another Fire Tortoise, or even a Fire Crab.
With a mere flick, it whipped through the air, creating a sonic boom that sent all the kunai flying away instantly.
Though the demon monkey possessed infinite strength and wielded exotic fire, one had to remember that the flight speed of the six-winged Golden-Winged Mantis was something even mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators could not match. In the end, it was the Red-Haired Demon Monkey that would suffer.
