Chapter 124: Severely Depleted Vitality

"The Jiang family has protected the Dragon Kingdom for generations. Since the Murong clan's existence also serves the purpose of safeguarding the nation, if the Jiang family cannot replace them, then do not lay a hand on them!"

"Chen'er, when it comes to family grievances versus national interests, you must understand which weighs heavier! I leave this recording to teach you that in the journey ahead, you must learn to tread with caution..."

Park Eun-jung looked up to see several black spheres approaching in the sky. They grew larger by the second, whistling as they hurtled toward his flagship.

Ye Zhi looked at Su An with a pained expression, only to find a savage look on Su An's face as well. With their minds harboring different thoughts and feeling uncomfortable in each other's presence, they actually felt a slight sense of relief.

"What the King of Bohai needs most is to enable the underdeveloped tribes to thrive and resolve their internal conflicts; only then can the borders be truly secure," Xiao Yan whispered.

However, a moment later, Reke understood. The palm strike delivered by Yu Jia emitted a piercing phoenix cry the instant it made contact with Kaio. Invisible sound waves sent Kaio flying, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

"Understood!" Tang Yi and Tang Qian led their men away, leaving only Tang Kun, Tang Yue, and the steward in the room.

As the primary hero, Salamanca had the potential for further advancement—a reward that could not be measured in money alone.

That day, when Nan Huaike dragged her slow footsteps to the doorway, it happened to be mealtime. The head monk and everyone else were inside having their dinner.

The rat monster, having only just transformed after consuming the stone statue fragments, lacked any trump cards. Despite being attacked until its health dropped below twenty percent, it still had no ultimate move, relying solely on continuous basic attacks.

Sure enough, after a short while, a troop of over two hundred people appeared on the mountain to the northwest, approaching the location of Fushan Hall.

The moment Qi Xinya turned around, the smile on her face vanished, replaced by a cold, icy expression.

Lin Hai dared not be careless. With a sharp shout, he summoned his three-pointed, double-edged blade and instantly carved an arc through the air.

"Why should we show you our police badges? Who do you think you are?" the fat man shouted in a rage.

"Dou Lin, you have the Golden Silk Armor, and the helicopter is ready. Release my father at once!" Sun Qian stepped forward, radiating intense killing intent.

However, thinking of the traitorous leader who was usually dim-witted regarding human affairs, he suddenly seemed to have a moment of clarity, realizing he might get beaten if he said such things. He was now anxiously trying to figure out how to phrase his words more tactfully.

"My name is Qin Fen—'Qin' as in Qin Shi Huang, and 'Fen' as in struggle." Qin Fen introduced himself simply to Wan'er and got straight to the point.

"What, are you busy clarifying the facts?" Lu Liting's voice held a trace of laughter, yet that laughter made Tao Ni shiver—a genuine, bone-deep tremor. She steadied her nerves.

His stern, dignified face now displayed a vitality unlike any other day, carrying a hint of kindness and a trace of relaxation.

As Mu Qingzi spoke, the surrounding scene shifted back to the mouth of a volcanic crater. The intense burning sensation forced Qin Fen to retreat as far as he could.

The young man, panicking and losing his way, was about to collide with Lin Hai's car. Lin Hai slammed on the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a halt.

"Kongming has done well; there is no need to blame yourself. Had reinforcements not arrived in time, would Xiahou Dun be this restrained? Given his temperament, he would have launched a full-scale assault on our positions," Ma Chao consoled Zhuge Liang.

Meanwhile, those various treasures hummed and vibrated, their concentrated light coalescing into streams of demonic radiance that gathered continuously upon his empty arms.
