Chapter 784

“Barbarians coming south?” Zhongli Mei paused, then murmured, “The barbarians are even more brutal than the Great Qin.”

If they truly enter the heartland of Central Plains, there will be mass slaughter, corpses piled high, turning Shenzhou into a great calamity.”

Xiao Yu said, “Some barbarian tribes see themselves as mere bandits—they burn, kill, and loot, then return contentedly to the steppes.”

Others have grand ambitions, seeking to rule Central Plains—like the Xiongnu.”

If the Xiongnu truly crush the Great Wall garrison and come south…”

“Yes!” The Tiger Team members scattered with a roar, ignoring their nearly exhausted bodies, rushing straight toward the rubble at the air raid shelter entrance.

The Xuan Yuan family has never produced a Divine King in history, so in cultivating Divine King-level experts, they lack the ancestral experience of previous Divine Kings that the Seven Great Families rely on; instead, they must select exceptional direct-line disciples and nurture and support them with the entire family’s resources.”

After wandering the city, they acquired nearly all the gear they needed—ropes, iron hooks, and more—all arranged through a stranger who gladly accepted a single tael of silver to help.”

Boom! The ice-fire barrier on the building’s exterior shattered under wind and fire. Wang Duo, Old K, and Gustav followed close behind, like a train of colored lights streaking away from the building. The remaining elite Hunter Demons were not so lucky—they were trapped inside, no matter how hard they struggled, unable to break through the ice-fire barrier.”

At first, Anne repeatedly tried to persuade Zhao Qiang not to destroy Atlantis’s ruins, even consulting Mr. Q about remotely disabling H3’s combat functions—but Mr. Q always smiled and shook his head, signaling Anne to remain calm.”

Wang Yilong’s lower body thrust hard against Yang Manling’s, making her writhe in pain.”

It seems the Chang Coal Group and Chang Mine Group—these two bullies—are clearly determined to drive me, Wang Yilong, out of Changshan.”

“Has Sister Yun gone too far—or never come at all?” Wei Jingzhe felt his way forward. He had walked far enough; there was now not a trace of light. For the sake of the trial, Light Talismans were not placed everywhere.”

On the bed, Nong Xue faintly caught fragments of words but lacked the strength to ponder them—she heard and forgot, her eyelids still struggling weakly, wanting to open but too exhausted to lift.”

The space around the black rod surged like a breached dam, crushing desperately toward it. Li Jun and Fan Sui stared in terror at the black rod, certain that even a brush against it would instantly crush their flesh into powder.”

The four followed the funeral procession to the lakeside at the center of the fortress, where open ground held many thatched huts, each housing a black coffin.”

Helpless, Liu Min’s figure vanished again—yet the moment she reappeared far off, Bai Yi suddenly materialized before her, twin blood-crystal long knives slashing down.”

This is better—if I were to personally break through enemy lines one after another, the merit would be too great, the rank too high, and I’d stand out too conspicuously.”

In an instant, whether demon, monster, or ghost, all within the attack’s range were reduced to fragments—falling in bloody showers—or vaporized into mist, vanishing utterly from the air.”

“I have this intuition—the Southern Pacification Marquis’s mansion is like a vast spiderweb, drawing and binding all factions to Wuping,” said Di Renjie, his expression grave.”

The appearance of the prize drew gasps from the Holmes fans present, especially Conan, whose face plainly screamed “I want it.”
