Didn’t he know what the Judge’s wrath meant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Han nodded expressionlessly and darted forward along the stone steps. Halfway up the mountain, he saw a group of Hengshan disciples forming a defensive formation; though surrounded, none were in mortal danger. Dingjing and several others with deep cultivation skill swung their swords to parry attacks from multiple foes, and whenever they found an opening, they struck back, already wounding several masked black-clad men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The establishment of a regime, once backed by the people’s support, renders external forces insignificant. Though a diplomatic dispute was inevitable, “a weak nation has no diplomacy” was an eternal truth. To Jiang Haoran, Britain was now unquestionably a “weak nation”—he had it firmly in his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao no longer hesitated; he wheeled his horse around and retreated westward under the protection of Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and his elite guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Han raised both arms high—crack, crack—two sharp bursts of pure qi erupted simultaneously from the tips of his index fingers; the piercing sound of air splitting reverberated through everyone’s eardrums, lingering long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soft, bouncy, like pressing against a giant, water-filled ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bastard…” Tianxiang roared, swinging a punch at Leibulanduo—but it was only a phantom formed from minimal energy, and in the next instant, it reappeared elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the estate guards—they were all recruited from outside. The Wan Shou Estate had struggled to attract them, and a new lord would inevitably take over soon; they could serve the new lord just as well. So even before the news reached them, these guards had already been stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Crow Clan Chief appeared before the Golden Crow Cave halfway up the mountain, his longbow slung across his back, facing the mountain wind with majestic authority. Behind him, numerous archers quickly gathered, coldly staring down at the sea, where the Wind-Riding Boat and the Four-Luan Flower Chariot moved one after the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So there’s no absolute superiority or inferiority—it depends on the situation?” Lin Han voiced his question directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Jiang Haoran’s analysis, the command center fell silent; the atmosphere grew suddenly oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the disciples whose greed was plain but who retreated timidly, You Kuang immediately fixed his gaze on the three figures closest to the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, Yun Long sensed danger.
