Chapter 85: Uneasy

A sickening splash of blood. A scream.

In Canglan City, Jiangnan Province, hundreds of martial artists were locked in a frenzied slaughter at the gates of the Old Jiang Estate.

But it was obvious that Chen Junsheng’s side, numbering only a few dozen, was nothing more than the side being butchered. Even with considerable overall strength, they could only endure...

When the generals heard this, they erupted like a pot of boiling water, cheers rising in waves as they clapped and praised, their wine tables rattling with the noise.

Yingchuan was an exceptionally shrewd man, and he was strong as well. At least from a human perspective, Lu Yun felt that if Yingchuan had not strayed down the wrong path, he might well have become a leader on par with Mikluth.

The so-called city-climbing crossbow was a specially made giant crossbow. Its bolts could sink more than three feet into a city wall. In siege warfare, such a weapon not only created footholds for friendly soldiers to scale the walls, but, more importantly, it served to intimidate the defenders.

Yi knew that this was the moment in the dream when they would part. Yet whether in dreams or in reality, he would always nod to the things Yan entrusted to him. He was willing to do anything for her, even if she did not belong to him.

“Xianzi! Come eat!” At that moment, Chen’s mother called out just in time. Chen Xian had no choice but to suppress the stirring in his heart for the time being and answer before going over.

Then he walked to the room where he had lived in those years. The instant he pushed open the door, childhood memories surged up from the depths of his heart like a tide, and everything in the room began to overlap little by little with the images in his memory.

Fearing they would storm the place by force, Bai Xiaolang immediately took out many mind-dazing orbs and hurled them outside. At once, the area beyond the house was thrown into chaos and choking fumes.

“The sky is getting darker by the minute. We should hurry and leave here,” Mikluth said, giving up on asking any further. He understood all too well what would happen once night fully fell upon this world.

Just as Musen was letting out a long breath, his thoughts on the verge of sinking away, a force of consciousness broke into his mind.

Liu Bin could not explain it. In his past life he had been an atheist, but ever since his transmigration and rebirth, he had come to believe that gods did exist in this world, or at the very least, a power beyond human control did.

I had thought Nancheng Yao would take me back to the Third Prince’s Manor, but instead the horse galloped steadily in the opposite direction. Still puzzled, I lifted my eyes—and ahead of me stood Anning Gate.

The improvement of a battle spirit’s strength was exceedingly difficult. One path was to comprehend its innate divine ability; another was to increase the amount of battle qi it could absorb. Yet neither was easy to achieve.

At Li Wan’s teasing, Lin Feng could not help rolling his eyes. He had only just gotten up, and Li Wan had already started flirting with him. It seemed the tender and lovely Li Wan from last night was indeed a rare sight in life.

The Great Dao of the lower realm is flawed and far inferior to that of the upper realm. It is difficult enough to find even one person who can battle a prodigy from the upper realm, let alone someone who can stand against several elite disciples, slay multiple powerhouses, and emerge victorious. Such a prodigy must possess some secret, and what formidable power he must have.

Today, Harqig was here as well, standing behind Princess Yunjing. When she called for someone, he immediately bowed.

Lin Feng said no more and took back the money in his hand, because he knew a soldier could not be insulted with money.

Just as Wu Fan used a sneak attack to take down a formidable steward, a group of armed guards finally rushed over.

Even if this was a tempering of spirit and will, a necessary ordeal in forging his mighty state of mind, he would rather throw himself into it willingly than be trapped here passively.

She was blasted away again, hurled from the rear courtyard into the front. It almost seemed as though they were truly helping her escape.

After Chu Han finished speaking, he looked at Shen Nan. Shen Nan could not help feeling somewhat guilty. In truth, from his perspective, this was clearly a fine place for retirement. If headquarters had not suddenly remembered that they still existed, they would never have sent anyone here at all.
