Chapter 143: Dragon-Imprisoning Pool

Ding Xian glanced up at the firmament and said slowly, "Thirty-three years ago, an unrivaled master from the Eastern Island penetrated the mist array all by himself and arrived at Peach Blossom Village!"

He continued, "Wielding the Eastern Island demonic blade, Tengu, and enveloped in a peerless, terrifying aura of slaughter, he could have easily slaughtered the entire village with a flick of his finger had he wished to. However, instead of doing that, he ventured deep into the Dragon-Imprisoned Pool and never returned..."

"I dare! I am not afraid of losing money; I just want to leave behind a masterpiece about the War of Resistance for future generations! Uncle, I, Fatty Zhou, was once a soldier, a man with ideals, ambitions, and beliefs. Even after battling in the commercial sea for nearly thirty years, I have never forgotten my original aspiration!" Zhou Tian spoke with fiery passion, clearly having made up his mind.

Concerned about Xiao Ruo'an's emotional state, Lin Yanhao eventually gave her a call. Xiao Ruo'an was still on the sofa, nursing her anger against the Qin Chuyan in her heart. Hearing the ringtone, she instinctively assumed it was a call from Qin Chuyan.

Tuoba Tuo rose and walked to the door, only to see a brilliant radiance erupting from the direction of Pingcheng. Amidst the glow, the faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard, and the phantom of a golden dragon tumbled through the air before plunging downward and vanishing into the night sky.

"How is it? Are you alright? It's my first time embracing someone of the opposite sex, and I really am a little unaccustomed to it." There was a trace of apology in my tone, but far more of sweetness.

Perhaps it was cruel, but the enthusiastic applause belonged to Borges, while Mori's corpse lay upon the ground, appearing all the more desolate.

This applause was meant even more for Fu Pingshan, as well as those veterans who had fought in the southern borders of the motherland back in the seventies and eighties.

Seeing the minor demons pressing in close, Sun Xu took out the Fire-Evading Cover. With a wave against the wind, the cover expanded to shield his entire body.

Murong Chuxue naturally knew someone had entered, and assuming it was someone coming to rescue her, she could not help shouting out.

Yet devils were never so easy to deal with, especially a devil bearing the blood debts of the Federation. He remembered once crossing paths with a thoroughly vile bastard near Chuparosa.

Glancing back, Chen Shihua looked at us foolishly. She, too, was pressed against my chest, her tender breasts resting right against my arm. A wonderful sensation washed over me, sending tingles of numbness through my veins.

He held me tightly, as though he longed to melt me into his very bones and blood, blending with him so we would never be separated again.

The people of the entire city were freed from their plight. In their hearts, they felt a chilling revulsion toward Wuji's cruelty, while bowing in profound reverence to the savior in the skies.

Pruuk managed to squeeze out a forced smile as he spoke to the rather plump merchant before him.

"Perhaps I'm just overthinking it, and this is merely a coincidence." As she spoke, Leng Ruobing drove the car right up to them. Long Xuan put all the belongings into the backseat, opened the front passenger door, and slid inside. "See you tomorrow, then." Long Long waved, turning to bid farewell to Director Yang and the others.

With Yamamoto Yuichi present, everyone's conversation naturally lacked its previous ease, and the atmosphere grew constrained. Sensing this, Yamamoto Yuichi offered an awkward, sheepish smile.

In short, many people simply believed that Ding Yi had set his sights on someone else's wife and had relentlessly hounded the man to death. As for the reports claiming that Ding Yi and Zhou Yunshu shared a bond like brother and sister, and that Li Hua was scum, which prompted Ding Yi to punish him—nobody believed such tales. They weren't even related by blood, so calling themselves brother and sister was practically code for something else.

No sooner had my voice trailed off than Lu Xudong suddenly pulled me tightly into his arms, just like my mother used to hold me back then, his entire body radiating an imperceptible trace of terror.

"Fine, you win!" Li Yuanba had no choice but to concede. He fished out fifteen spiritual stones, tossed them onto the table, and picked a large red conch from the shelf.

The few of them looked up anxiously to see utter chaos reigning over Toad Mountain, with countless toads tumbling down from the peak accompanied by an incessant chorus of croaks.
