Chapter 32

The sound of flesh being torn began behind Yadong. He clenched his teeth, both hands tightened into fists, and made this final desperate struggle.

A world-shaking explosion rang out from the outskirts of Domain Beast City. A dense, oppressive shadow appeared in the sky before the city.

“What... what is happening?” Elder Wan Chengfeng was growing anxious as well. He wanted to help, yet feared that acting rashly might instead cost the boy his life. A state of meditation could only be endured through one’s own strength. But a strange meditation like this was something he had never heard of before, utterly beyond comprehension.

Moreover, Sun Zhuo had barely used his post-up shot since the last time he played against him. He had only brought it out again when he encountered James. If that was not aimed at him, then what was?

Just as the foremost warship rolled over and plunged into the water, the sea hawk vessel on the left erupted into chaos. From time to time, someone cried out in a hoarse, agonized scream, followed by the repeated sounds of people leaping into the water.

“He must still have some reservations. Otherwise, after knocking down that shot, he would have exchanged a few words of trash talk with me, as he usually does.” Sun Zhuo had already seen through Artest’s intention that evening: to keep harassing him until Sun Zhuo lost his temper—preferably to the point where Sun Zhuo struck first.

The other young man beside him let out a cold laugh. “Tch. What are you going to drink?” After all, this was an expensive establishment, and they had never before seen someone dressed like a student, like Wang Feng, dare to come here. Their only concern was whether the student had brought enough money.

A sharp light flashed in Zhang Tianyi’s eyes. He secretly reflected that he had been worrying over finding an excuse to leave, and now the opportunity had delivered itself. The righteous path was in decline, while the Five Poisons Sect was unstoppable. Everyone knew that remaining here meant certain death. Bound by the martial world’s code of honor, they dared not break the rules, but given an excuse, who would willingly wait for death?

Xiao Mengdie narrowly evaded the strike of the enormous palm. In the next instant, she suddenly thrust forward both hands, forcefully pushing the immense vortex of energy she had gathered between them. A colossal ice-and-fire demon dragon burst from within the vortex, its face twisted into a savage expression as it charged toward Yadong with claws bared.

“Tch. What does it matter if I eat a few of his lousy herbs? If he angers me, I’ll pull up every last plant in his medicinal garden and trample the whole thing flat.” It immediately answered with smug bravado.

He bit me on the shoulder. It was not particularly hard, but it still stung a little.

“He really... really has one of th—” Before Overlord Tiger could finish, his body swayed and he collapsed to the ground, soon snoring loudly in deep sleep. Feather Desolation was even less tolerant than Overlord Tiger; the instant the wine touched his lips, he fell with a thud and sank into drunken stupor.

Even Water Uncle was startled by the sudden turn of events. Strangely, astonishment had also appeared on Binqi’s own face.

Seeing Haobai’s indifferent expression, Zixun continued, “Many other treasures can also restore severed limbs or greatly increase one’s cultivation, but all of them come with various restrictions.”

The crowd gradually formed a huge encircling ring. Within it, the first thing Haobai saw was an enormous python.

This was also the first time in the histories of the two clubs that either had won the Champions League or the Europa League.

While comforting myself with the thought that Luxudong was probably still on the way, I shut the door, entered the house, and changed my shoes. After putting on my slippers, I sat down on the bench by the entrance and did not feel like moving at all. I had taken the bus and already made it home—just how slowly were Luxudong and the others traveling if they were still on the road?

“Very well. Since Miss Shishi has something to attend to, I shall not disturb you.” Haobai nodded and replied with a smile.

Gu Dongjue said nothing. He merely placed his hand over the back of hers and remained silent for a long while. Only then did a faint voice drift away, concealed within the wind.

The young man had originally reached the pinnacle of the Hidden Force stage. Now, with everything falling naturally into place, the tremendous medicinal power surged through him, and he began to break through.

Thunder descended upon the world as the thunderclouds churned without end. Radiance erupted in that instant, and everyone who saw it was shaken to the core. Everything they witnessed and heard was terrifying beyond words. Yet even after their astonishment failed to fade, the thunderclouds continued to roil. Nine-colored lightning flashed, and within it there appeared only a single youth.

Zihan’s hand swept out and severed the attack, while spiritual power condensed to its utmost limit, blazing brilliantly before the eyes of the crowd. The two opponents likewise gathered the spiritual energy throughout their bodies and collided head-on with Zihan. Radiance interwove and swallowed all three figures, but in the next instant, astonishment appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Wang Rui merely smiled lightly and said nothing more. The rooftop was enormous, much like a living room, and was filled with flowers and plants. Wang Rui walked to the dining table in the corner and sat down. Tang Jin followed him over.

The hall remained completely dark, yet beyond the transparent glass was an entirely different scene.

Her jade-white palms shifted in ways impossible to predict. Wind and water surged as a cyan halo gradually condensed, firmly imprisoning Fairy Li within it. No matter how fiercely the Passionate Immortal Sword flashed and struck like lightning, it could not break through the curtain of light she had erected.

“Senior Gu, I hope that one day we can meet again.” Thinking this to himself, Xingluo slowly closed the two doors. With a faint creak, he also sealed away a one-man drama that had remained shut for three hundred years.
