Chapter 41 (Second Watch)

Unfortunately, they deliberately or inadvertently overlooked the guerrilla fighters armed with crude weapons who tenaciously battled in the desert’s corners.

Because this moment was so crucial, even the seasoned masters in the stands could not help but fix their gaze intently on the arena; they too were eager to witness the outcome between the two combatants.

Chen Hao picked up his token and, after checking his mana, confirmed that the payment had indeed already arrived.

In fact, before the official announcement of Karma taking disciples, many had received the news early, much like Ka Xiu. Yet, it had to be admitted that Ka Xiu was the earliest to know and prepare for it.

At that moment, two burly men dressed in yellow and black stripes emerged swiftly from the shadows, their U-shaped magical horseshoes glinting coldly in the darkness.

“Central Sky Continent, Central Sky City. Could it be that our Carefree Sect occupies the best land in the Central Sky Continent? Even the names are the same?” Chen Hao asked excitedly.

“Yes, boss!” After a gust of wind, over a hundred of them unfurled their wings and soared into the sky, heading northwest.

Xiao He had merely intended to block Zhao Ritian’s move, so relying on the current attribute power of ‘Ten Thousand Demons Annihilation’ was sufficient; the forbidden technique ‘Heavenly Chain’ was naturally reserved for the finals.

“Raw fish slices—” a heart-wrenching scream echoed across the battlefield… at this moment, time itself seemed to freeze.

The voice came through the earpiece. Although it was difficult for the radio to distinguish human voices, and this time the sound was intermittent, they were accustomed to it—and identifying whose voice it was posed no challenge.

“Feng Linglong, what are you doing?” Qin Daofei strode over from afar and shouted angrily upon seeing Linglong, covered in mud, wading deeper into the pond.

Most men who had enjoyed her three-foot jade softness had died under the “Cutting Longing” technique. In recent years, she had ceased killing and instead preferred to disrupt monks’ cultivation, seemingly finding this way more pleasurable than killing them.

This was not merely the speculation of a demonic cult leader, but also the conjecture of righteous luminaries such as Qian Kunzi and Guan Shaoqin.

For this reason, he had specially lent a low-grade spiritual treasure to Gongsun Huanyu. With the spiritual treasure in hand, Gongsun Huanyu’s strength was at least comparable to the peak of a three-star Celestial God, greatly increasing the chances of defeating Qin Tian.

“Have our people made a move? Tell them to act quickly and not get caught,” Qiao Huiyang asked.

At that time, Qin Lang claimed he had a grudge with the Shepherd God Sect because their disciples had pillaged and left innocent corpses, prompting him to teach them a lesson.

A hole exploded in Yang Bai’s brow, his divine essence merging into his ocean of consciousness; the backlash was destroying everything about him.

Yang Bai went berserk, his eyes blazing with anger, flames of dragon fire burning fiercely. In front of everyone, the terrifying Qin King’s Bone-Piercing Mirror, already cracked, shattered completely under the dragon claw’s assault.

The Flame Emperor looked at Yu Mo with a complex expression; although Yu Mo was human, he had saved his son, which stirred complicated feelings in his heart.

“Why this attitude?” Mu Yu was somewhat displeased with Mu Xue’s perfunctory tone. Mu Xue had just broken through to mid-Saint level, and it was not long since she had reached early Saint level.

Song Jiao discerned his mother’s battle strategy was like slowly boiling a frog in warm water, wearing down the opponent until they could no longer react.

Between the two, it was no longer a mere hint of tension; it was clear they had torn off the mask of civility.

“Not at all; it’s because uncle hopes this jade Buddha will protect Si Bei’s safety. Uncle likes Si Bei very much and wishes for Si Bei to grow up healthy,” Tang Zhan said to Si Bei with a smile, the furrow in his brow easing.

“That’s good. Do you know who these people are? In broad daylight, they recklessly rampage through the bustling district. Doesn’t anyone restrain them?” Feng Shu asked casually.

I’d rather earn more goodwill points to enjoy life in reality. Isn’t that better? With all these cheats, why would I bother to strive?

After finishing the meal, Wang Yueban left the restaurant, arm in arm with Li Yanran and Lin Wan’er, under the envious gazes of countless male companions.

“Prime Minister, you shall oversee all material deployments, with the Ministry of Revenue assisting. I grant you three days to prepare. If you fail, you may retire in disgrace.”

However, feeling somewhat guilty over Chen Zi and He Yuxin being implicated, Lin Xishi discussed it with the three and ultimately decided to help Liu Yuchen and the others. After all, they were only boiling water and didn’t really need much.

Though spirit beasts seemed ubiquitous and scattered across the land, this highly intelligent species had long formed one or even multiple powerful collectives—none could be easily insulted, trampled, or commanded by humans.

“Captain, over here!” Upon entering the dining hall, Jimei fluttered like a butterfly, grasping one of Cang’s arms and guiding him inside.

At this moment, several tribal elders kneeling beside Huang Xuanling were overwhelmed with emotion, mumbling incoherently.

Hearing this, Li Tu frowned deeper. He roughly guessed Xia Chen’s intentions but was unwilling to join in.
