Chapter 159: Threat Balance? I Don

【Perfect Barehanded Catch (Shi Shi): After learning this skill via scroll, when you wield a bladed weapon such as a knife or sword against a target within two meters, the opponent will inevitably kneel on one knee to catch your blade—yet suffer no injury, achieving a flawless barehanded catch.】

【Cooldown: 20 seconds (can be reduced through practice of barehanded catch, minimum to no cooldown).】

【Prerequisite: Holder must be Level 25 or higher and capable of using a knife.】

Several cultivators unaffiliated with any faction have resolved to cling tightly to Chen Mo as their great tree.

Lin Yi's lips curled slightly, but he did not continue speaking inwardly to Mu Lao—he needed full concentration.

Shen Yunchu thought she must quickly cultivate a few trustworthy, honest people to help her make ointment; ten bottles daily was far too few, but it would at least quench a little thirst.

Even though the Marquis of Qingping was accustomed to being careless, at this moment he felt a pang of injustice on Jiang Wan's behalf.

A few days ago, after informing his parents of his intention to join the military, he began making preparations.

Looking back now, Xia Ruo realized she had not acted for the Chancellor's Mansion—she had acted purely for herself!

Perhaps because the Marquis had spoken to her calmly just now, Shen Yunchu felt something heavy inside her settle, bringing her comfort and soon, drowsiness.

Judging by Chen Mo's current late-stage Mortal Realm soul, he should be able to refine Grade Seven pills—but his current strength does not permit it.

The Emperor never imagined that the scheme he had devised with Minister Wang would be unraveled by Gong Sun Teng, who never took sides.

The next instant, the lava shattered, shards converging into one another; with a flash of black light, a cloak of measure-length draped behind Chen Mo.

The Gangqi was ferocious; the sand worm could not withstand it. It summoned its primordial energy, preparing to unleash the Ten Sand Poison Eyes. Two pools of poison light surged, instantly spewing twin beams of black energy—ferocious poison gas sweeping directly toward the two.

After eliminating the Japanese ninjas, Qin Yi entered the castle alone and discovered this place was far more complex than he imagined—vast beyond measure, expanding endlessly. Inside, walls were piled high with bones; on both sides, nothing but white skeletons. It sent chills down the spine.

Wu Xinyan's face turned icy. This sudden man had attacked them without warning—she was furious.

Suddenly, Kotori realized the invasion must have come from the spaceship—so why not just directly hack into the global system and openly threaten them? She immediately told Kuuro, but before she finished, an alarm blared through her earpiece, cutting her off and filling her with rage.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Dark Zagi first blinked in surprise—the figure before him felt unnervingly familiar.

Jia Dexiu then confronted the young boy before him; he had overheard his conversation with Vatora via the listening device, so now he needed to confirm whether Chen Shi truly intended to hand over the control program. They had previously communicated online, and his sole request was to see Narakavira after activation.

"What…?" Hu Yong had braced himself mentally, but this news still stunned him. Upon hearing Wu Nan's revelation, the man froze in disbelief, then collapsed unconscious.

Opening Hu Qiang's phone revealed a flood of text message alerts and over a hundred missed calls. What was going on? Wu Nan puzzledly opened the call log—dense with missed calls, each from a different number.

"I'm struggling just to survive! How else am I supposed to feed you?" Qin Yi shrugged, smiling faintly.

With Chen Shi as a powerful backer, Rathorosk no longer needed to remain as hidden as before; and though his request might trouble the nation's government, after weighing the costs, they would still agree.
