His features were overly delicate, like those of a woman in disguise. His hair was disheveled, his clothes patched all over—he looked less like a bandit and more like a beggar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Bing swung his Demon-Slaying Blade, scattering the current entirely; he looked at Long Jian, whose body slumped weakly against his twin flails, sighed, and raised his blade for the final strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Boss Wang still distrusted their skills, so the work of dismembering corpses and dismantling parts remained entrusted to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ouyang Ran finished speaking, Ouyang Jiuxi moved to flee—but Xuantian Light had already formed beneath her; the circular junction between hilt and blade released a burst of starlight, sucking her in instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, Brother Zheng, should you have time, I hope you will visit our sect again. These past days of heartfelt conversation have greatly benefited this humble Daoist,” Shen Chenzi said, smiling as he stroked his long beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Bi Hua harbored hostility toward her, she still felt reluctant to let Bi Hua enter such a dangerous place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a series of thunderous roars erupted from the five-colored cloud mass, like the gathering of lightning before a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was ultimately a renaming ceremony, the announcement of his official ascension to lead the Lei family—so the grander the spectacle, the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. I’d dare bring you along only if you dare follow,” Long Qingcheng said, utterly unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on their numbers, Li Jue was clearly employing a wheeling tactic against these special forces—once one wave was repelled, another was ordered to charge forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was No. 8 Sunflower Field that caught his attention; the man wore attire resembling a ninja’s, wielding a blade only a few inches long, diamond-shaped with razor-sharp edges, strikingly similar to a kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Long nodded—he had been right. The fact that Hao Ren was a wandering swordsman had long been known to hidden enemies; now that the enemies had moved, Hao Ren was in grave danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Bai Rao could now unite them all—he must possess exceptional abilities. Killing their leader, Bai Rao, would be no easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sheep he’d encountered today had surprised him, causing hesitation—he held back and did not order his men to strike immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter? Why the hurry?” the Undying Demon Emperor, having just regained freedom, blinked in surprise and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By my side, Bai Mao the old monkey serves as advisor, elder, and head steward; countless adult male monkeys toil as laborers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I—I was jealous of Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi!” Zhao Ya stared at Yun Hao, her eyes darting twice before speaking firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tucking in the blanket, I smashed every bottle of red wine from the wardrobe, soaking the blanket in wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As waitresses, they naturally possessed eloquent tongues; no matter which item you favored, they’d praise your taste, your discernment, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The right whip’s “leg” swept in with solid force; Xiao Feng met it with his nose, and his arm instantly went numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow released its grip; her eyes snapped shut, and her body slowly collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shennian elder’s eyelid twitched—he never expected this outcome!
