Chapter 26: The Severed Head

Liu Shuang was furious as well. He felt that he hadn't even had the chance to do anything yet, so why was she flying into a rage? Why was she acting so unreasonable? Though he had intended to do something, he hadn't actually gotten around to it yet, had he?

"How about a bet? A sparring match. If I win, you lend me Hongling for a day so I can take her out to dinner," Xu Jie proposed.

"It seems that what Master said about the Longevity Art having the power to alter the human physique is true indeed!" Yu Ming thought to himself. He admired his master, Li Jing, more and more with each passing day.

Although she smiled naturally and her words were calm, showing no signs of tension, A-Feng, Jiang Ming, and Tie Ying all sensed something subtle in her expression and tone.

"I said no, and I mean no!" Li Fang was truly annoyed now; she grabbed her teaching materials and threw them at Li Daniu.

After introducing these young masters, Liu Ding seemed to mock them as he left, saying, "You fellows had better take good care of my classmate."

One must understand that Du Fuwei and Fu Gongzuo were most anxious about the current lack of officers and elite troops among their ranks. During the Luoyang assembly, Du Fuwei had secretly dispatched his fifty thousand most elite soldiers, all to cooperate with Li Yuan in delivering a fatal blow to Yu Ming and Xiao Xian.

The Fifth Prince finally noticed the strange reactions of those around him and fell silent. However, he furrowed his brows slightly, feeling immense dissatisfaction: he had done his absolute best, so what else could these people possibly be unhappy about?

With a thunderous explosion, the giant's head shattered like a watermelon. Then, the headless corpse collapsed to the ground, its legs twitching as it died.

Landy listened but remained silent. Xu Li Yanyu, knowing he was waiting for her to continue, added, "As for the second matter, it is closely related to the first. As I just mentioned, the resurrection of the Neutral True Immortal and his wife must be the work of Xiaoyao Mountain and the God of Benevolence."

After all, they had hoped to use this wave of excellent performance in the second half to completely turn the score around or even crush their opponents.

Upon waking, he immediately recalled Li Shimin, who was organizing his troops in preparation to march north and quell the rebellions in the Mayi and Yanmen commanderies.

Before Yuchi Gong could nod, the scar on Yuchi Ren's face turned a purplish hue with excitement. Clutching the saber, he hurriedly pushed his brother, who was still standing there in a daze, to the ground to kowtow, agreeing to everything. And just like that, in a muddled state, Yuchi Gong joined the army and became Chen Ke's personal guard.

Inevitably, he still activated the Cycle of Life and Death, solidifying his emotions and mental fluctuations to ensure that his purpose would not be detected by the two people hiding nearby.

With this form of self-hypnosis, the two saints, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, were able to persevere and continue their standoff with Zhu Jiuyin, keeping their composure rather than fleeing in terror from his imposing aura. Achieving this was no small feat, especially given the astonishing strength Zhu Jiuyin had displayed today.

After all, they had finally gained such an advantage on the road, and they were facing the San Antonio Spurs, who had been in such excellent form prior to this match.

Inside the Liangyi Hall, the commanders of the Black-Clad Iron Guards had all arrived. The Black-Clad Iron Guards were a new secret armed force established by Yang Guang, responsible not only for protecting the Emperor but also for conducting secret investigations and arrests. With Yang Guang's mandate, they were a force wielding immense power.

"Senior Brother Jian surely wouldn't be angry with Senior Brother Fang and me over such a trivial matter, but... where exactly has he gone?" Lu Wuxia frowned, her willow-leaf-shaped brows knitting together in confusion.

"So, if your Mitsui Joy group goes to farm, will they definitely make money?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Saionji Kimmochi's words.

"You are right." Qingwu nodded in agreement; this was the greatest reason she felt confident in persuading the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

After all, with over a hundred thousand people, retreating was quite troublesome. It was mostly the beast tribes; once they entered the city, they scattered completely. Based on past experience, this was the perfect time to claim military merit and plunder spoils of war, so who cared about keeping the ranks in order?

Xia Zhaoyi stepped forward and raised her hand to knock on the door. She paused, then lightly brushed her finger across the door knocker; a thick layer of dust accumulated on her fingertip.

In the dark, open space, the ground suddenly lit up as long, red snakes illuminated the earth.

These words completely ignited the anger and resentment that Da Feng had harbored for ten thousand years. She cursed, "You bitch!" and charged forward directly.

As for Son Gohan, he wanted to launch a final counterattack, but he was blown far away by a single energy blast from Majin Buu.

Therefore, after an entire day, Shen Ange had only just finished the rough design of the overall layout for the important areas of Zhuoxi Mountain City.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had yet to rise. Dark clouds gathered, heavy and thick, as if rain were about to fall.

Gai Nie glanced at Wei Zhuang and said slowly, "Thank you." Although Tianming held the Non-Aggressive Sword, how could he possibly be a match for Wei Zhuang? It looked as though he had parried every strike, but it had been a narrow escape every time.

Danika was the type who wouldn't move without a profit, and given her current weakened state, making the trip here was quite exhausting for her. Phyllis did not believe that her friend had no follow-up plans.
