Sikong Jing said Yuwen Guan would lose, and he actually did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ruyu couldn’t stand it, suddenly proclaimed, “Before the grand competition starts, there’s another entertainment program.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Martial Arts Arena, there are a million criminals from the battlefield, and I will execute a hundred thousand of them first.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1437,"2026-06-06T08:51:42.145Z",1,"novelbin.me","6d390658912c23821d1641da3512a92be728cc71b6aa5aff19d4594af8365f0c","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-167","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-165",1881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fberserk-god-of-war-cover.jpg"]
