Chapter Seventy-Three: Do You Yield or Not? (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes!)

Under the fierce and resolute assault of the Jiaozhou army, the city of Wan fell, and Zhu Guang was killed. At that moment, Zhang Liao, not far from Wan, received urgent news delivered by the swift Meteor Horse: Wan had been lost, Zhu Guang had perished in battle. Zhang Liao dared not advance further; he retreated to Hefei to fortify the city. The Jiaozhou army seized the opportunity to march forward and attack Hefei.

Called out by Bai Jifeng, the manager of Rain Voice Tower finally regained his composure, hastily agreeing to his request, and smiled at him with an embarrassed expression.

Clark need not say a word; Askyon could see it clearly. The fireballs coming from different directions had thrown Xiu Zhe’s steps into confusion.

The charging golden corpse was indeed sturdy; Yun Fei’s spear failed to smash it to pieces, only caving in its chest and sending it flying dozens of meters.

Suddenly, the shouts and cries of battle outside the valley shook the heavens; it was clear that Cao Cao had stationed a large army beyond the valley, blocking the mouth and cutting off escape. Anyone wishing to exit had to face the enemy outside. In this way, Cao Cao assured himself of the ability to annihilate his foes completely.

Zi Lingtian hovered a thousand meters above, and below, a dense mass of ferocious wolves hurled themselves recklessly against the eight half-saints. The sword energy and sword light shredded the wolves at the front, but those behind pressed forward, making the slaughter endless.

At this time, the guard sent by Sima Yu to search outside the tent for evidence of "Nalan Xue" conspiring with others, unearthed the letter Nalan Xue had previously buried, brought it into the tent, and presented it to Sima Yu.

Just then, the Meteor Horse arrived with news: Liu Biao had raised a grand army, joined forces with the remnants of Liu Yu—Yan Rou, Tian Chou, and others—defying imperial command, slaughtering court ministers, and marching against us! Over a hundred thousand men, their momentum fierce! Hearing this, I was shocked and lost in fear. Faced with such formidable enemies, what should be done?

"It seems Wushuang has resolved to kill that youth!" said an elderly man in the distance, his hair white as a crane’s yet his face childlike.

Thus, many nations deployed their largest weapons, but the monsters were countless, and the ghosts immune to physical attacks. How many could they actually slay?

What should be done? According to the mission, Night Sacrifice only needed to survive until dawn to escape, but the inability to find that "friend" left him uneasy. Perhaps even when time was up, he would not be able to return alive...

The hackers monitoring this war were astounded. The battle of the Lord Gods—right from the start, they struck to kill. Such a thing had never happened in the Jungle.

Yuanyang, having relayed the message, returned to the rear courtyard, only to see that a large red lantern had already been hung before the main hall. Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin, and Jia Tanchun each held a bronze hand-warmer decorated with twin dragons playing with a pearl, standing beneath the corridor, pointing and gesturing. Who knew what mischief they were plotting now.

"Third Uncle, how did you end up like this? Were you outmaneuvered by the Zhao and Li families in the county city, or has our scheme to drive up the price of fish-fruit been exposed?" Young Master Yin wailed, nearly toppling the monkey-like Fan Houzi.

The Sword of the Abyss swung, sending a biting gale shrieking past his ears. Weishang closed his eyes, waiting for death’s arrival. He wondered what death was truly like—whether losing one's head in a single stroke would bring pain. Yet after waiting so long, he felt nothing at all.

"Awaken, O demon god who has slept for ten thousand years! Together, we shall end this absurd era of divine rule and stride into eternity." The man in black robes chanted softly, as if praying to the sealed demon god, or murmuring to himself. His throat, like two rusty pieces of iron grinding together, produced a hoarse and piercing sound.

The burly man had no intention of stopping the two approaching figures; instead, he glanced at them with a mocking look.

This arrangement was partly to better contain the beasts and partly to distance themselves from Odoria City.

The stone cave truly could not withstand the strength of this giant. Hiding inside was clearly unrealistic.

It was sheer force of will that kept her moving forward, unwillingness burning in her heart, supporting her through confusion and exhaustion.

It paused for several seconds, then let out a shrill roar. Its eyes instantly turned snow white, black smoke pouring from every feature. Its face trembled violently, then with a bang, it exploded, dissolving into a pool of fetid blood and flesh.

Old Xuan’s face remained pale, clearly unwell, so Old Tie believed his senior’s words without doubt.

Could it be… her final fate was to drown in a bowl? She seemed to see her deceased grandfather.

A sense of foreboding flickered through Lu Ye’s heart, as if something brushed across his mind. He tried to grasp it, but suddenly it slipped away, leaving him with nothing.

She leapt up high, ears pricked, listening intently. In the wind, she sensed ominous ripples.

Of course, her residence was on the Mount of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, which had many guest rooms.

"That’s right." I replied crisply with a telegram; such matters cannot be avoided.

But perhaps this is for the best. Sooner or later, these things would come to light. What surprised me most was his calmness.

I frowned, picked up a stone, and tossed it onto the lump. With a crack, the lump burst open, spraying green pulp.

This hand dodged the slowest, for it was the armored corpse’s hand clutching the top of the spirit tower. In less than a minute, its wrist was battered with wounds, some deep enough to expose bone.

Witnessing the scene before him, even Hongsheng Di Tianlin could not help but gasp, his scalp tingling.

Though Qinghong moved stealthily, as soon as he left Sacred Mountain, many factions began tracking him, including the most sinister and mysterious organization—Sin.

These relatively safe nodes were not unique to the Five Element Rift Sword Formation. Many arrays are designed with such nodes to allow the array’s creator to enter and slay formidable enemies, for if the enemy is too powerful, the array alone may not suffice to destroy them.

I glanced at the white ape and his wife, the snow ape. Choosing either would break them apart. Then I looked at the old white ape; though aged, his muscles were still robust.

Upon hearing the news, the disciples of the Zodiac Sect led him to a hall in the northern part of Zodiac City, verified Wu Yan’s identity, and found no issues. Inside the hall, a Zodiac Sect member asked, "Fellow Daoist, which city do you wish to teleport to? Here is the list of cities our teleportation array can reach."
