Chapter 98: Breaching the Defense

Mou Jie knew about Deng Mengqi’s family circumstances, and as the son of Mu Qinghou of the Hall of Immortals, if he truly wanted to lay hands on her, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Deng Mengqi was terrified. In panic, she cried, “Don’t, don’t hurt my family.”

“Don’t worry. As long as you behave and listen to me, won’t your family be my family too? How could I bear to harm them?”

...

Along this whole journey, Huo Zheng had restrained himself for a long time, and by now he could no longer hold back. He pulled the person into his arms and, lowering his head, kissed them until they were dazed and breathless.

At any rate, the three of them at last let out a great sigh of relief, no longer as tense as they had been just moments before. If the five of them joined forces and still could not defeat Xuan Zhenying... of course, such a possibility did not exist.

The Grand Emperor’s words carried profound meaning. He was announcing that when Li Shimin deposed or established the crown prince, he no longer needed to consider the Grand Emperor’s wishes—and that he would even support Li Shimin in deposing Li Chengqian.

Qian Fugui could not sleep at all now. He knew a little about what had happened at the Full Fortune Tavern.

As he spoke, he reached without hesitation toward the cow’s swollen, suppurating wound, squeezed it, forced out the pus, brought it to his nose to smell it, and nearly gagged, dry-heaving several times.

Yang Mimi passed through security and pulled her suitcase toward the boarding gate, only to be stopped by a tall, striking flight attendant.

Xiaoyu obediently removed the cloak. The two of them went to the living room, where the man was sitting on the sofa, his expression stern.

Gu Xingliang instinctively looked toward the television. On the screen, that pervert was being held up by two officers. His head was covered by a piece of black cloth, but he seemed not to have any obvious injuries.

With the spirit spring present, the elemental power within the space was far stronger than outside. What took three days to absorb outside was not even as much as half a day in the space. If it were not for people always being by her side, she truly would not have wanted to step out for even a moment.

Seeing the cooperation among the seven, Yasso gave them an approving nod. Their tactics were sound, their division of labor clear; they were a mature team. It was a pity that their attacks, though dazzling to the eye, were of little practical use, and even breaking through a single light shield was somewhat difficult.

Qin Zheng weakly raised his hand, picked up the blood sword, and still wanted to go lend a hand to Jia Jin and Jia Xing. Bai Zhimai, cheeks puffed with annoyance, looked at Qin Zheng, then without another word scooped him up and, in a swift turn, slung him onto her back and ran off like the wind.

Fortunately, the injury had not struck the foundation. A strange energy seemed to be surging within her body, protecting her flesh and bones.

As for the outcome of this battle, Old Master Du had not the slightest doubt. His son would certainly be the final victor.

“What? What did you say?” the vicious man said, yanking Yang Hongjiang’s head straight out of the car window.

This Stone Shake Heaven was indeed no ordinary man. At the middle stage of Concentrated Spirit cultivation, he already possessed the strength of ten dragons; this was already the limit a conventional martial artist could reach at the Spirit Concentration stage, yet he had already attained it.

Thinking back to what Chen Bin had said to Yi Chen just now—that Yi Chen’s strength was inferior to his, that he had forced Yi Chen to kneel—it was simply absurd. With Chen Bin’s level of strength, he was nothing but full of hot air, bringing shame upon the Chen family.

A superexpert who could rival the Nascent Soul stage had fallen beneath Chu Feng’s frenzied style of combat.

“I know this,” Yin Tianchou said after a moment’s thought. He immediately slipped into the dense woods. Not long after, from within the smoke-filled forest, a dazzling streak of icy light suddenly shot forth. At that moment, both the Dark Yin Hall and the Soul-Devouring Beast were fully focused on dealing with the patrol team and had not noticed anything else.

The surging black mist sealed off the characters of the Heart Martial Scripture one by one, turning them into clusters of black flame that scorched each and every character of the scripture.

“It’s all right, benefactor. This poor Daoist can be of service to you,” said the thin Daoist with a smile.

Originally, Tao Wanru wanted to explode in anger, but after glancing up at Ji Rongchen out of the corner of her eye, she immediately softened somewhat.
