Chapter 40

The sound of cracking echoed repeatedly as the entire backboard shattered, fragments raining down onto the floor like blossoms. The village chief, catching the scent wafting through the air, secretly swallowed his saliva and shook his head, saying, “Let’s wait for Old Gu to return, then you and I, brother, can have a few drinks together. Ming’er, you handle these people—if anything seems off, hurry to the village and call for help!” With that, he cast a cautious glance at the five who appeared to be master and servant.

“Come!” Seeing Yan Thirteen advancing, Xiao Four said nothing more, simply flicked his hand, commanding the flames to form a crimson longsword to meet Yan Thirteen’s attack head-on.

Nu Yun’s body was now utterly wrecked, his chest collapsed entirely, the ribs within crushed to powder, his head and face drenched in his own blood.

“It’s not a dream, it’s real!” The Duke was just about to call Gu Ye over when the Duchess’s delighted cry interrupted him.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. I hope the president won’t hold a grudge for my offense today,” Han Qianyu cupped his hands and bowed.

“You really can cure my mother’s illness?” With the door closed, Huang Qianxiao stepped forward, doubt clouding his voice.

Given the attack power of this lone wolf, they figured it would only take a few blows for them to be annihilated, let alone to defeat the opponent.

Respect for elders? That depends on the object—Su Xin didn’t consider Luo Father and Luo Mother worthy of it.

A giant skeletal foot stomped viciously above the head of Elder Ghost. Ghost Elder felt himself completely locked down, utterly incapable of escape.

The guard led me up the shaky staircase, but halfway, he suddenly turned off onto another path, forcing me to follow, frowning.

As time passed, the sky gradually revealed a crimson sun. At that moment, Li Daniu was on the verge of breaking through to the sixth level—the Golden Pill of Yellow Clouds.

“There aren’t many rules here. Just do as you like,” I raised my hand to beckon her over.

Those two words he used to utter day after day, but now they stuck awkwardly in his throat; anxious beyond measure, he finally shouted them out.

Though it cost five hundred million spirit stones, the wealth was easily acquired. If he could transplant this bone body into himself, no number of spirit stones could ever compare.

“I heard General Qin Xun has been away from the capital lately. Otherwise, how could he miss tonight’s banquet? Allow me to think it over—a day soon, Qingying can visit my mansion and we’ll negotiate further, shall we?” The scheme was already set in his mind, but it wasn’t convenient to discuss in detail now; the palace walls had ears, and spies might be near.

Next, the youth emerged from the blazing sun, curling his lip with disdain and muttering in a cryptic tone, “Mess with me, Li Xiaoyao, and I’ll beat you to death!” He was back to his carefree, irreverent self.

Anxiety lingered in his heart, so he meditated and cultivated in the pill chamber, neglecting the matter of Gong Fei’s alchemy entirely.

“I won’t absorb it. You go ahead and transform into your complete form first,” Li Daniu said, licking his lips.

Meanwhile, outside the city, as darkness suddenly blanketed the southern camp gate, He Man, in charge of the first wave, let out a loud, excited shout.

Except for the head of the Mo family, who narrowly escaped death, all Mo family cultivators and elders perished—none survived.

At that moment, a furious shout rang out. Jia Sheng saw the four opponents attempt to kill the Dark Prime under the tower and instantly flashed forward, combining his EQ combo to knock Amumu and Malphite into the air, then followed with a big ultimate, trapping Vayne as well.

The blade’s terrifying and extreme light was like a hellish shura, radiating destruction, bloodthirst, and annihilation—killing “second-turn, third-turn, Heavenly Purple Mansion” experts was no problem at all.

But she saw a blade slowly extending in from outside, followed by the hand that wielded it.

“My god!” The weapon’s breath stalled, no wonder the excavator had told him to stay in the fountain.

Such an attitude was highly unconventional during the altruism-driven eighties and contradicted the traditional morals since the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Ludian swung his massive arm, formed from a machine gun launcher, smashing it against Galatron’s body. Galatron didn’t dodge, letting Ludian’s arm strike him.

A middle-aged man, dressed extravagantly with a pale face and a thin mustache, leaned out to scrutinize the mask and jade token on the bamboo pole, then pushed open the car door and stepped out.

It wasn’t that she minded the meager salary Gu Xiaojun gave her, but she was used to the idea of “equal sharing” and hadn’t adapted to such differential treatment.

“You’re right, that’s exactly what worries me. My husband has always had a spotless reputation—if rumors about the West start circulating, it will tarnish his lifelong honor. Nurse, I must devise a way to drive the West away,” Lady Ge said, a touch of defiance on her face.

“What are you trying to do!” The fake Luffy stared at Li Ziming in terror, his gun now trained on him.

“Teacher! What’s wrong?” Lolita rode alongside Charlotte, not having used her Eagle Eye spell, so her attention naturally wasn’t on the distant, shadowy city.

As they spoke, they saw Die’er being dragged out, blood already seeping through her clothes from her back.

And this gap was the most damaged corner of the Immortal Realm’s collapse. Once patched, the collapse would slow, prolonging the time before it spread to the fourth heavens.

Everyone curiously watched Bingbing, who instantly donned the Big Villain mask.

“Firebird Star!” A flaming bird flew over and struck Trebol. Though it had little effect, it did succeed in drawing Trebol’s attention.

Even though the forum’s discussion of 24K’s “wormhole” ability had hit the trending list, many people still didn’t know about it.

Ling’er approached the monster, and to everyone’s delight, a streak of violet light appeared.

Mei Ruoxue was baffled by the laughter, angrily wanting to strike Ai Bieli, but knowing she couldn’t reach him, she had to give up.
