Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

"Master, is this the new biochemical weapon you designed?" Red Queen asked urgently, her voice brimming with excitement and anticipation. The news of the Demon King's unparalleled prowess in wreaking chaos spread throughout the martial world, attracting more and more challengers and duelists every day. A green-curtained carriage trundled through the snow, leaving deep tracks in its wake. Zhi Qi sensed he was at a disadvantage and that defeat was inevitable. Rather than being suppressed by the general's flag and suffering a crushing loss, he decided to take a risk and launch a preemptive strike. However, the imperial concubine turned a deaf ear, accustomed to such boasts day and night—no longer frightened by them. She nearly rolled her eyes back into her head in exasperation at Chai Rong, the fool, joining in the commotion. Sima Tai smiled as he wielded the extraordinary blade, channeling his energy and igniting a fiery glow. The leading beasts were the first to fall, struck down by the blade's lethal force. It was unclear when Elder Lin would finalize the production formula for the third-tier mid-grade alloy. Even those desperate enough to fight to the death and take others down with them were ruthlessly executed by Li Wudao's controlled Terminator snipers before they could confront Wang Donger and her team. Faced with techniques belonging to the Longmen sect, Naruto was unsurprisingly sent flying. But this was only the beginning; as he tumbled, countless white ghosts emerged from the ground, targeting only Naruto in mid-air. If not for her desperate struggle, the Fu family would have faced annihilation. Yet Fu Wan, oblivious to the danger, continued to charge headlong. The blood spirits were as troublesome as the Chaos Lotus Seed had described—virtually indestructible, regenerating as long as their bodies weren't completely annihilated and the blood pool endured. Yun Beishan's sword sliced through the corpse soldiers' shoulders with the swiftness of a dragon. While it was possible to continue as before, the situation had changed. Public scrutiny was growing louder, and playing the victim was no longer an option, especially since the Emperor of the Western Region had called for accountability. After checking on the bruised and speech-impaired Naruto, Yi Ren used emotional energy to heal his wounds. "Never mind..." Zhou Longfei shook his head and called for a taxi, leaving in a huff. The man was surprised to find that the team leader was Mai Yi, not Li Tiejun as he had assumed. While Brother Liu was stronger than the three slackers, he was only slightly better—and no match for a trained fighter. "I was observing the temporal manifestations when the cosmic will interfered, nearly dragging me into the river of time itself. If I had fallen in, I might have become sustenance for it," Zhang Chi shuddered at the memory. On the beach, she kicked sand and played in the waves, exuding a serene calmness. The sunlight highlighted Lin Lannan's beauty, making her even more captivating. The Dragon, Cat's Fang, and Raccoon live streaming platforms had become official partners of the gaming company, with four teams representing China this time. "Why are you all looking at me? Do you think I did it?" Ye Hao asked, bewildered, still dazed from not holding onto Dali. He was well aware of Peng Qian and Wu Sisi's past entanglement. As a man, he wanted the one who coveted his wife to stay as far away as possible, but according to the HR director's earlier words, the project was crucial for Wu Sisi. Inside the cocoon, Yang Yibu's face had turned pitch-black, glowing with a sickly sheen, his body devoid of color. Su Xiang unexpectedly insisted that Chu Xiang should strategize from behind for the Longning Marquis, aiming to bring down both families. Wen Zhiyuan wandered aimlessly, certain of her feelings for Lian Zhi, but wondering if Lian Zhi would be willing to spend her life in the restrictive imperial palace. "If you don't truly fall asleep, I won't sleep either. I'll stay with you," Dong Ru suddenly said, looking at him intently. After losing the competition, Qin Donglan was in high spirits, having gained some advantage over Yan Yuan. "You're looking for death!" Iron Fan Princess raised her banana fan, but just as she was about to strike, the Bull Demon King suddenly chanted an incantation, causing the fan to fly out of her hand and into his. Zhao Hang, the bank president, hesitated, distrusting Longhua Group. What if they were just bluffing and couldn't repay the money? He had washed the blood and dirt off his face and arms, but still wore the tattered old clothes, creating a stark contrast with his clean body. Zhou Jie's performance surprised him; although he tried to hide his familiarity with the place, Wang Fan noticed something was off. Ma Zhe smiled and brushed it off, thinking they could always part ways with a phone call later. With so much on his plate, who could predict what the future held? Tang Ze and the others clenched their fists, saying nothing more. Tang Suzhuo's stance was clear—if conflict arose with the two clans, she didn't mind, but Tang Ze and the others would likely be no match for the Li and Xiang clans.
