Chapter 46

With the Asura King's innate talent, he had managed to master the second form within ten days. Ling Tian possessed an even higher aptitude; after thoroughly mastering the first form, he too learned the second form—the Destructive Sword Shadow—at the very final moment.

Both were mortal avatars of immortals, and the weapons in their hands were supreme treasures imbued with infinite murderous intent, possessing matchless power. With every wave, they produced sharp, piercing whistles that tore through the void.

Cheng Siyu nodded repeatedly in excitement, grabbed Yun Hao's large hand, and leaped from the ground onto his back.

Looking at Malone's retreating figure, Uncle Zhong sighed inexplicably. It seemed that ever since Malone's appearance, everything had grown very subtle.

It was as though the previous abnormality had been glossed over. Since he was unwilling to speak, the three masters of Taiyuan could do nothing about it.

Of course, these might just be the first batch of experimental prototypes. In the future, even more refined and modified bullets might appear, making them truly cost-effective and practical.

Su Chen dared not imagine what they should do if one of them truly turned out to be the Azure Dragon.

However, it was different for major aristocratic families. To them, this was a form of bondage. Once they agreed, it signified that everything they did in Jingzhou would henceforth be monitored by the imperial court, and they would inherently lose their autonomy.

"Hehe, Miss Zhong, you don't need to make fun of me. I was driven to no other choice just now. In that situation, I couldn't afford to show any cowardice; if I did, I would have no face left to show people in the future," Ye Xiu replied with a rather helpless smile.

The release of vital energy was as fierce as a laser. This was a spear technique Zhang Tianxing could only execute by sacrificing a portion of his vital energy shield, but he had no other choice—he could no longer afford to drag this out.

"Actually, our first choice was him. Among the people we know, regardless of appearance, education, or personality, he is by far the optimal choice."

If time could be reversed, he would undoubtedly pay any price to summon an eighth-tier powerhouse in advance to protect him, or strictly warn his subordinates under no circumstances to intercept Shi Yi, that hateful being capable of turning the tables.

They used their very lives to form a grand array, preventing the gray zone from advancing any further, which thus gave birth to the present-day Dark Forest.

Only then did everyone suddenly understand, finally grasping what some girls on the internet often said: having all the skills to pick up girls, only to realize one is a girl oneself.

Not long after walking, Zhang Chao discovered that Fanyang Town had become much more prosperous than before, primarily due to a massive influx of people.

Zhang Chao summoned another sword to block in front of him; at this moment, short of this method, he could think of nothing else.

Pu Jian was greatly startled and tried to dodge, but it was already too late. The golden light flashed and burrowed straight into his back. Evidently, its momentum had waned and it did not pierce completely through like the previous one, but it was already fatal enough.

Nearby, Yellow Turban soldiers wearing yellow turbans and leather armor, with fine iron sabers slung at their waists, were maintaining order. The common people dared not scramble; they lined up with bowls to receive porridge, and upon receiving it, devoured it ravenously.

"Saying that only makes you sound guilty," Bi Si warned. Fang Shi's acting skills were mediocre; even Bi Si could tell he was hiding something.

"They just launched a full-scale offensive like this, without even bothering to offer a summons of surrender or shouting phrases like 'surrender and be spared.'"

"Monkey, aren't you drawing a bit too much aggro like this?" Zhu Xiaofei couldn't help muttering when he saw that Sun Yaosheng was still holding his ground after wiping out three squads, and a fourth squad had just appeared within visual range.

Furthermore, the domestic server employed a real-name registration system, which involved more identity verification. Banning an account wasn't as simple as just buying a new one, and Tencent had also introduced a credit score system, meaning the impact of an account ban would be far more severe.

Wu Zongrui remained very calm. Seeing Chen Qiyu's tearful expression of gratitude, he had no choice but to follow suit and imitate him.

Perhaps it was because his mind power had been fully mobilized! Following a low shout from the uncle, the first great gate swung open in response.

"Are the Shark Squad's championship hopes dashed? Is it possible for the Horizon Squad to make a comeback and pull off a miraculous counter-kill?" The skinny male commentator muttered these words before letting out an involuntary sigh.

There were a full twenty thousand soldiers garrisoning Yongding Gate, and they were the most formidable combat troops within the capital garrison. The other gates each had between five thousand and ten thousand soldiers stationed there. Gao Qiqian was no fool; he reckoned that Li Zicheng's main direction of attack would undoubtedly be Yongding Gate.

"Brother Qin, Brother Zong, what do you two say?" Sun Yaosheng asked, acting without prior consultation and looking a bit embarrassed for not asking their opinions first.

Historically, the powers of Hanoi rarely interfered in the affairs of the mortal realm. Therefore, Pangu Town served as the de facto ruler of the mortal realm.

Ye Wushang muttered to himself. Having spent quite some time with that stinky old man, he naturally understood some of the things the old man had mentioned.

Yu Jinlin analyzed calmly, "As far as I know, it is utterly impossible for anyone passing through the portal to fall directly into the Extreme Realm." His underlying implication was to question Chen Tianhong.

Therefore, Ning Fuchen believed even more firmly that someone was manipulating all of this from behind the scenes. As for the reason, it most likely lay right here beneath the water, and what needed guarding was naturally something of great importance.

It wasn't that she didn't understand the sarcasm in Noble Consort Shen's words, but at this moment, the Emperor simply had no spare energy to care about such things.

Logically speaking, within this heavenly realm mystic boundary, the power of a crossbow was definitely lethal, capable of repelling the vast majority of people.
