Chapter 205: Cultivating the Netherfire Firefly

Seeing the three little ones leave, Shen Siyuan let out a long breath of relief.

Although he had the 【Ten Thousand Souls Banner】 as his final trump card, tonight's mission was extremely dangerous.

That was why, after severing the Black Mountain Demon God, Shen Siyuan immediately fled.

Because he did not know what methods the Black Mountain Demon God possessed, and did not wish to engage in prolonged combat.

Because he still remembered his first journey to the Netherworld, that fleeting glimpse of the vast, foul shadow—so he had struck and fled at once.

Xi Jiangyue was deeply shaken; his punch condensed true essence into a single point, seemingly simple yet brimming with infinite explosive power—yet Zhang Fan caught it effortlessly.

One could only say that perhaps during his year in prison, he endured too much inhuman torment, leading to his later "personality."

Da Yao also became the eighth player in NBA history to win the Finals MVP award as the number one draft pick.

Since coming to Shenzhen, having earned little money and wanting to save on the expensive Spring Festival travel costs, he had never returned to Zhanjiang.

Ao Bai had never before seen someone dare to block him—Tai Lin—glaring at the guard of the Yuqing Palace.

Li Meizi fared worse—she and the stretcher crashed to the ground with a loud clang, landing directly on her wound, causing her to grimace, gasp for air, and finally look like a seriously ill person.

"Yan'er~ I'm the villain, hit me, hit me until you're done being angry." His voice was extremely soft, pleading, utterly humble.

He decisively raised his cup, nodded to Wu Tingmo across the distance, tilted his head, and drained the wine.

He bent down, grabbed the spirit stone—no technique needed, just brute force to pull it out—and the teleportation array would collapse on its own.

The three humans and the beast assumed the journey would remain quiet, but halfway through, at a place of jagged rocks, a strange wind blew past—Fengzi suddenly stopped, every hair on its body bristling.

If the first brawl was a qualifying round, then the second match was the preliminary round—today, fifty-four out of a hundred or so contestants would be selected.

They hadn't done it in so long; looking at Liu An, they felt longing—Liu An's member might not match Heiyu Xiangtan, but compared to Wu Shouzi, it should be about the same.

"Void Dragon Shadow Step!" Han Xuanliang stepped forward, and beneath his foot appeared a spectral dragon—accompanied by a dragon's roar, it vanished into the void; the next instant, a hand emerged from the void, reached out, and drew in the emerald-green light ball that had just appeared before everyone's eyes.

The two figures clashed again fiercely; Li Batian unleashed a never-ending array of hammer techniques—Splitting Heaven Eighteen Hammers, Taiyi Eight Hammers, Qingtianwendi … Jiangdong countered all with the Three Furies of the Mingwang —no matter how Li Batian changed his moves, the Three Furies always responded, and gradually gained the upper hand.

Although they won the previous match, Xu Yanan and Xu Yamin nearly gave B Team a chance to turn the tide during their high-ground push, and the final Elder Dragon was stolen by B Team—so although they ultimately won, both Xu Yanan and Xu Yamin clearly couldn't swallow their frustration.

Several days later, the resort opened for business; He Yue established a dedicated resort website, set up several customer service lines, installed broadband in every lodge, and on this day, all visitors were important guests—he hired some security personnel, whose duty it would be to maintain the resort's safety and order going forward.

He Yue and Yao Keke slowly returned home; Yao Keke's face was still flushed—Yao Keke glanced at her sister and knew the two had been intimate outside.

For the people of this world, the withered and frigid winter was terribly dull; ordinary people had very few activities available during winter, and in this era of scarce food, most reduced their movements to lower their own consumption.
