Chapter 41

Never before had anyone orchestrated such a grand and sensational spectacle. Even Xun Yu could not help but look on in astonishment.

Left with no alternative, the Xiongnu were forced to abandon their crossing. The first vanguard of three thousand Xiongnu cavalry attempting to ford the river was largely annihilated. Fewer than a hundred riders managed to scatter and escape into the nearby deep mountains.

Trailing behind the group were seventy or eighty fourth-tier Astral Realm cultivators, along with more than a hundred third-tier cultivators. Such a lineup was more than ten times stronger than when Princess Yuhua had departed.

Throughout the past year, his vision had blurred countless times, conjuring up such scenes, yet none of them had ever been real.

In an instant, a faint flash illuminated the gloomy space of the barrier, and a beam of light blasted directly onto the path ahead of the advancing knights.

Nighttime is invariably the domain of dark creatures. Within the mining tunnels, the night belongs to the zombies.

In the span of just a few breaths, the size of the Void Rat swelled ten thousandfold, transforming into a colossal starry-sky behemoth as massive as a mountain. Its body bristled with sharp, ferocious silver spikes, making it look much like a giant hedgehog.

Many of the mountain folk harbored such anxieties. After all, this was their first time encountering this sort of situation, and they had never received any prior training. To put it another way, facing a war of this scale, it was inevitable that they would feel a degree of nervousness; they needed to build up their confidence.

Therefore, what the Zhou Dynasty wanted to accomplish was quite simple: to rely on the Golden Great Derivative Technique to accelerate the condensation of divinity, absorb it into the body, and thereby forge a divine persona through the quantitative accumulation triggering a qualitative leap.

Before coming here, he had imagined all sorts of scenarios he might encounter upon reaching the Shaolin Temple, yet he had never expected that this sweeping monk would be so bizarre. The old man's demeanor seemed to suggest he was entirely aware of the purpose of his visit.

Zhang Yifan had taken every single fog-repelling crystal on West Sea Island, but in truth, there were not many—only a few hundred in all.

Following the winding and crooked cavern all the way forward, everything was identical to what he had experienced in the dreams of his childhood.

After all, Iron Tiger was his own biological younger brother. One had to know that the formidable status the Tiger Roaring Hall enjoyed today owed a great deal to his constant backing and support.

Ye Suiyun felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I know a little bit of fist-and-foot Kung Fu, though it's not very useful. I always seem to lose no matter who I fight." He offered a self-deprecating smile. Wei Qiwu said, "Show me what you've got." Believing he was merely joking, Ye Suiyun smiled and made no reply.

Hearing this, Chen Zhifan walked over and asked, "Let me see. What are cockroaches afraid of? Where are they?" He stepped into the bedroom, but Zhang Yiran was nowhere to be seen.

"What a pity!" Lowering his head slightly and gazing at the black SUVs blocking the way ahead, Naohide Fujita let out a soft sigh filled with undisguised regret.

The wardrobe before her was crammed entirely with crimson dresses; blue had ceased to have any place in her life.

"The people inside those three cars are all our prey. Not a single one is to be spared. We will hunt them down slowly." Among the pursuers, a burly leader chuckled hideously as he gave the order.

"Heh, with Kakashi's abilities, he probably doesn't need my rescue. Furthermore, space ninjutsu is Kakashi's specialty. All we need to do is hold out until Kakashi returns," Orochimaru chuckled lightly.

Whether it was because those who besieged him saw the glimmer of victory, they only grew even more frenzied.

Hearing Jiang Sen's exclamation, Yixia felt somewhat awkward, for she well knew the reason behind his intense reaction—was it not because of the very thing she had said to him back then? So, could this be considered reaping the bitter fruit of the seed she herself had sown?

In the blink of an eye, the threads of blood spreading from Yang Zhentian's body burrowed three meters deep beneath the yellow sand.

"How can he be like this? Does he care so little for his own body?" Ye Linghui knitted her dainty brows in displeasure, clearly dissatisfied with Nan Tengchuan's actions.

The outer perimeter was mostly a settlement for rogue cultivators. Because this was a sacred ground for undergoing heavenly tribulations, all the major factions had reached an agreement, acknowledging Tribulation Island as common property. With their limited cultivation resources, the rogue cultivators came here to provide services for the mighty experts.

Finally, he was hearing the voice of the person he cherished in his heart, rather than the dull "thud" of her kicking him. Pei Jun felt content.

Yinglü let out a breath of relief, her previously wandering and unfocused gaze turning resolute and confident. She cast a slight smile at Hashiqi, then turned and walked back.

Zhen Long had not expected that everything happening on his side was being observed by Hua, the organizer of today's party.

Despite saying that, Zhen Long still took some time to carefully explain the technique of kicking a falling leaf ball, including which part of the foot should make contact and precisely where on the ball to strike.

With a crisp, metallic chime, a set of keys was dropped onto the marble-slab tabletop.

Song Yun, however, was different. While the current situation was indeed favorable, he was accustomed to keeping everything firmly within his grasp. The changes his body had undergone meant that the absence of immediate danger did not guarantee safety in the future. Should any unforeseen complications arise with his physique later on, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Facing the host's various queries, I continued to farm minions expressionlessly online. Before I knew it, the opposing Darius had already reached level 6, while I was only at level 5. My current situation had thus become quite perilous; if Darius were to pull me in, he could very well finish me off with a single combo.

As the saying goes, "A prime minister's stomach can hold a boat." A man with an ocean-like expanse of mind must be able to hold countless boats within his belly! Such poise makes a man appear infinitely dashing.

Li An walked forward slowly. Everything before his eyes was shrouded in a hazy mist. His willful impulses would never be forgiven again, and his decision to turn back left him with no path to retrace. By the time he regained his sobriety and wished to start anew, all his countless mistakes had already been cast in iron and poured in molten bronze, sealed for eternity.

"Yes, Imperial Grandmother. Mingzhu will never commit the same mistake a second time." Xuanyuan Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied.

The allied forces of Romania, Italy, and Bulgaria coming from the direction of the Black Sea would also utilize their naval and aerial fleets as their primary forces, landing in the northern region of Greater Sochi via the Black Sea and launching an offensive toward Rostov.

The required length of the staff is measured as thirteen times the width of a palm. As for the material, any wooden staff with good elasticity will suffice. For initial practice, it is best to use a heavy staff; once you have developed striking power, you can switch to a slightly lighter one to refine the finer details of martial arts.
