Volume One, Chapter 28: Weren’t You Acting Spoiled? I Can Do That Too!

The moment Yang Mufeng and his companions vanished, a wisp of black mist silently attached itself to one of the experts before disappearing along with them.

"You, you turn around first..." Zhou Yan said, blushing as she looked at the youth who fluctuated between righteous and wicked, her voice stuttering.

The Qing Dynasty pursued a policy of elite troops, with the Eight Banners and the Green Standard Army serving as the standing forces. The Eight Banners were distinguished by eight flags: Bordered Yellow, Plain Yellow, Plain White, Plain Red, Bordered White, Bordered Red, Plain Blue, and Bordered Blue.

Perception is of little use whether on the surface of the continent or in the subterranean world, and few pay it much mind; after all, powerful individuals can rely on energy to sense the outside world.

Chen Sheng and Fan Zhi were prepared. Both lay flat on the ground, covering their noses and mouths tightly with wet cloths. They dragged over a few corpses and huddled near the edge of the cliff to conceal themselves, ensuring their safety.

Wu Da walked into the private room, where guards stood at every entrance, creating a tense atmosphere. Li Guolou was busy maneuvering two stilts; with just three or four deft movements, he connected them, transforming them into a long, hooked staff.

It happened without warning, sudden and swift. I had never anticipated such an emergency. My body tilted, and I plunged straight down. Li Bing cursed loudly, flailing his limbs, but there was nowhere on the bridge deck to gain a foothold.

Another youth stepped forward, but after only a few strides, he fell into the pool with a splash.

Just as Qing Ao accepted the pill, Long Tianyi smiled. Accepting it so readily meant he had agreed to join the Xiaoyao Mansion.

"You are courting death. With your level of skill, let alone Locke, you couldn't even kill me." Although Moka had not yet taken that final step, insulting Locke's family had infuriated Alan.

Lin Bao was covered in blood—some his own, some belonging to the frogman leader. He seemed severely injured, clutching his chest with a furrowed brow.

The question was not whether there were enough gatherers, but whether the Blood Battle Association possessed the necessary strength. The Zhuhai Beach was a long, narrow stretch of golden coastline, segmented into ten equal sections by intervening cliffs.

The most clamorous among them was the Prime Minister of the Vals Empire. He marched toward the Pope, cursing all the way, looking as if he would stir up trouble if he were not given an explanation.

By now, the flying blade had dissipated, and the power within the essence blood Wang Hai had unleashed was completely exhausted.

Thus, they all came to a halt at that moment.

Song Qingyu had not expected Song Zixuan to be so decisive; she dialed Yang Ming’s number as soon as she obtained it.

"Brother Wei, you’re joking. The blueprints are right here. As long as one can read, a bit of study is all it takes to figure them out." Monkey chuckled, feeling a sense of pride in his performance over the past few days.

"Snap!" The crisp sound echoed once more, and along with it, the tense, fearful string in Blood Blade’s heart snapped as well.

After the Titan Ape King slaughtered everyone in the human camp, he took his subordinates and the corpses of the fallen apes, intending to return to the depths of the forest. However, they had not gone far when the sounds of clashing echoed from the camp again. Could there be survivors? The Ape King turned back to investigate.

"So dirty, we're eating," Qin Zi said with a coquettish pout. Yet, thinking of the dominance Jing Jian had displayed moments ago, her heart fluttered uncontrollably, and her body slowly grew warm.

Zhang Tianyang’s tactic of "using another man’s spear to pierce another man’s shield" was indeed ruthless. Without immense self-confidence, the courage to burn his bridges, and incredibly precise calculation, Zhang Tianyang would have long since become a ghost.

"You dare..." Prince Riley clearly had not anticipated such a drastic turn of events. Seeing Ron’s sword already before him, terror filled his face, and he began to issue a threat. However, he had only managed to utter two words before he could make no more sound.

General Night flew before us. Because the fog was so thick, we could not see the situation on the opposite bank, and we certainly did not see that black shadow again; it seemed to have vanished completely into the mountains.

Lin Jingxue frowned, seemingly confused as to why I would do this, but she still cooperated by repeating the phrase along with me.

Traffic was not heavy at this hour, but with an incident like this, one certainly had to call the traffic police.

A series of hoarse sounds ignited a raging fire within Yang Tian’s heart. Killing intent surged through his body, and he was consumed by irrepressible fury.

The King of Wu naturally wanted to take action against Prince Tang, but he would not do it himself. A man of his stature had already washed his hands clean. Since his hands were clean, there was no need to dirty them again; even if the King of Wu did not move, countless subordinates would scramble to do the deed for him.

I must find a way. If Chen Feng simply denies everything, there is nothing I can do. I should ask Mao Biao if he can produce an eyewitness from among those who ambushed Chen Feng last night.

Tang Ruo had nothing to do all day, so every night she would collect ripe fruits and vegetables from the fields in her space. In this way, Pan Dawei’s wood-element abilities became completely useless.

Even more terrifying was that just as Fang Li tried to turn and fly away, the fire-marching ants that had covered the mountains and plains suddenly transformed into an all-encompassing swarm.

If one were to ask why the former Border Guard was so universally praised within the Royal Army, it was purely because they had earned it through hard-won, tangible military achievements. No one could help but admire them.

As for machine malfunctions, the logic was the same: staff would check repeatedly. For such critical matters, the Emilia family generally hired the most rigorous Germans.

At that time, the heavy snow continued. Because Linglong Zhi had just recovered from a serious illness, the Swordsman delayed for three more days. On the fourth day, he could bear it no longer and, ignoring everyone’s advice, braved the snow to depart.

Han Xing and Chen Ri were puzzled as to why they had been stopped, but upon turning to see that most people around them were motionless, they immediately understood. With a heavy heart, they obediently squatted to the side.
