Chapter 26: Things Are Starting to Get Interesting

Yu Wanjiao could only watch helplessly as the Crimson-Flame Golden Python swept past the sword.

Although Jiang Xuanyan had stabbed the Crimson-Flame Golden Python, the wound was no threat to it at all.

The next moment, he was sent flying.

“Second Senior Brother!” Shen Que hurriedly caught him.

Yet the instant the Crimson-Flame Golden Python saw Shen Que, it began to retreat.

Yu Wanjiao froze, then turned to look at Shen Que.

Shen Que was half-demon himself. Could it be that he could communicate with this snake—

“Enter the palace? What are you entering the palace for?” Sun Fengzhao had been too busy fooling around with Long Jue and the others to ask why the sisters had come to see him today, when it was not the day for him to lecture on the scriptures and expound the teachings.

That evening, when Ji Liunian was alone with Sheng Shi in the room, she felt somewhat embarrassed. It was not merely because she had cried in front of him, but also because, at her most vulnerable moment, the person who had stayed by her side and comforted her had actually been Sheng Shi.

This was the first time Sushi had ever voiced an opinion of its own. Lin Xiao nodded and agreed to its request.

Liu Yan’s heart seemed woven from rain. He swiftly withdrew and hurried forward, seizing the old man and once again forcibly dragging him back from the brink of death.

Lin Xiao had no idea that by the time he went to challenge him, Uncle Liu’s cold temperament would indeed have changed.

The little food was devoured by Nine-Tails in two bites. Even after finishing it, Nine-Tails continued to watch them warily, especially Yano; its gaze never once left him.

When the other Dragon Palace generals withdrew from the city tower and returned to their respective posts, each making preparations for the battle that was about to begin, Turtle-Clam Bi led two eunuchs of the Duck-Primordial Beast clan to Sun Fengzhao, Qiyue, Wu Ming, and the others, asking them to move elsewhere. Long Jieming regarded the group with unusual favor and wished to host them for a meal.

The spectators could not help drawing a sharp collective breath—not because the explosion had been so powerful that it had nearly reduced the arena to ruins, but because Arbok had suffered almost no injury beneath such a blast. Apart from quite a few white scratches across its scales, it was practically unharmed. Was this really Arbok?

What people fear most is not being hurt, but suffering harm and finding that no one feels sorry for them afterward. That is far more terrifying than the injury itself.

They had all been guests at the Songgao Sect. The moment they learned that Sun Fengzhao had appeared along the road approaching from the west, they mobilized as one and blocked his path before he could enter the hall.

“Damn bird, where did it run off to? When Martial Uncle questions me later, failing to find it will earn me another punishment.”

Amid green hills and clear waters, a cultivator dressed as a young boy was suddenly searching for something. At some unknown point, a middle-aged man appeared before the boy and sat down on the ground.

All he had managed to obtain were two chips—two chips that now seemed utterly useless in his eyes.

After exchanging a glance with her, Reyes turned to meet Olivia’s gaze. The two shook their heads in unison.

Seeing the beggar’s gaze, and remembering what he had called the rats when speaking to him, Ling Chou realized that the two beggars hiding behind the divine statue were probably the ones in question. After sweeping his spiritual sense over them, he discovered that they were merely ordinary people, and his brows knitted together.

One sword, two swords, three and four, five and six, seven and eight—countless swords flew into heaven and earth. The Sword God of the Nalan clan looked down upon everyone present.

He continued forward at an unhurried pace. As he drew near, any rocky spikes that came into contact with his body instantly released the mana covering them into the air. The rocks crumbled into dust and scattered across the ground.

Lin Hongfeng naturally looked down on such foolish, mechanical robots. By now, he could already be considered a master and a doctor in the scientific world.

“It was a situation in which the two of them were destined to die. Both had suffered severe injuries, and that demon had sealed away all their cultivation. Just as he was about to refine their souls and transform their spirits, Mu Bai suddenly began to swell all over for some unknown reason.

Sun Er was resolute. He absolutely did not want to see Sun Da and his master and fellow disciples fall into danger.
