Volume 1, Chapter 44: The Hidden Armory of Zitong, Pointing Swords at the Realm!

The current situation had already stabilized.
Once the Brave and Valiant Guard launched a surprise attack on the Cao Wei army and Zhuge Liang revealed himself, Sima Yi would undoubtedly assume that the news of Zhuge Liang's prior death was merely a false rumor spread to confuse Cao Wei.
Given Sima Yi's inherently suspicious nature, once such a thought took root in his mind, he would certainly not dare to continue engaging the forces of Shu Han in battle.

Two crisp clashing sounds rang out. Ditto and Scyther's dual blades locked in a standoff. Scyther successfully interrupted Ditto's Swords Dance, leaving Ditto to look at Scyther in utter surprise.

Lan Rongyue glanced back at the hundred-odd people following closely behind. It was evident that this Great Elder Hua was not only determined to succeed but also harbored ulterior motives. Yet, if the place was truly like the ancient tombs she had visited in her past life, even a hundred more people would still be utterly useless.

Originally, everyone assumed Jiang Yu would win, but now Fang Qi had taught everyone a lesson: one must never lower their guard at any time and must always give it their all. Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength.

Not long after the Fang family ancestor left, another figure flashed like lightning behind Xu Jing—an old woman, her face covered in wrinkles, leaning heavily on a cane.

"Cut the crap with me, you old codger! Those pieces of equipment were given to me by King Yiser and Count Dracula; they don't have a damn thing to do with you. Hand over the quest reward right now!" This old bastard actually wanted to deny us our quest reward; there was simply no way in hell.

That old turtle was a Primordial Ancestor expert. During a Primordial Ancestor's period of weakness, let alone Han Yun who was merely a Heavenly Monarch expert, even a Saint Monarch expert would not dare to provoke him in the slightest.

A skilled military surgeon stepped forward and examined Consort Yu with calloused hands. Consort Yu gently closed her eyes, not opening them even a fraction throughout the process.

"What if they are here to capture you?" Wen Yuzhi tried to scare her. Wen Yuchang, who always believed Wen Yuzhi's words implicitly, was indeed frightened and followed her to hide in the bushes beside them. That was the camellia variety Wen Y蔻 had chosen earlier—its branches dense and tall, its petals comparable to a human palm in size, and its color deep enough to completely conceal both of their bodies.

Fierce beasts were simply beasts that had not yet awakened their spiritual intelligence; they could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and devour other fierce beasts to strengthen their physiques.

Regarding the Champion of the Sinnoh region in the anime, Shinji felt his strength should be quite decent. This would also serve as a good test to see if Shinji truly possessed the strength of a Champion.

Seeing Zhang Liao display such formidable might, the Chu soldiers on either side cheered in unison while wasting no time. They quickly stepped forward to plug the gap in the defense line once more.

It had to be said that Zhao Qing's grounds for concern were remarkably accurate. If Cao Army were to follow Zhao Qing's orders blindly, Cao Cao himself would harbor a fair amount of unease and misgiving. However, now that Zhao Qing had laid the matter out in the open, it instead sparked a completely different train of thought in Cao Cao's mind.

Yet Yu Kuanglang had no idea that the Black Soul Envoy controlling the grimace had already made arrangements in secret.

No matter how powerful the formidable enemy he faced, he had never retreated once, always managing to rise above adversity and soar straight up.

Chen Zihao chuckled, exchanged greetings with the others, and walked straight toward Gu Wangning.

Hearing his father's words, although Yang Haiyi harbored ten thousand objections in his heart, he still obediently walked over.

Though he had been a scoundrel in the past, when Wang Dagong watched Brother Bei pointing a gun at Ye Cuigu's head, he suddenly felt a boundless wave of agony pierce his heart.

Subsequently, his sword martial soul manifested, and upon that ink-black sword martial soul, the figure of the Sword Demon emerged.

However, Jiang Shize was utilizing the influence of Hengzhou to seize power and personal gain for himself. After bringing down Tian Xing, he had no intention of returning military command to Tian Huaijian; instead, he intended to become the master of Weizhou himself.

Therefore, the way he looked at Midnight was akin to how an imperial aristocrat of the mortal realm would look at a country bumpkin.
