Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Conflagration Spreading Across the Land

The sect master of the New Moon Style called out again. By then, his hands had already settled on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, ready, at the fox’s signal from the mountain wilds, to unleash his fiercest strike. And he was not alone; the masters of the other schools also took up fighting stances one after another.

“Have some respect. The Fifth Prince of the Great Celestial Dynasty truly lives up to his reputation.” With a sweep of his sleeve, Wu Yan scattered the violet-gold spiritual energy beside him.

Who could it be? With that question in mind, I slowly made my way to the living room. The knocking still continued, and I opened the door little by little.

Leaving the two Unhindered Ghosts here to look after Murong Xue and the diviner put me more at ease, though I still had no clear sense of the diviner’s true strength. What I did know was the simple truth that a towering tree draws the wind. His divinatory abilities were so heaven-defying that I was certain many would try to win him over, and if they failed, they might resort to anything imaginable.

“There is nothing impossible in this world. Auntie, you only need to wait.” Chen Fei said with complete confidence.

A stone as large as a fist was flung forty or fifty meters into the air by Wang Haitao, while Wang Haitao himself shot forward like an arrow loosed from the bow. That terrifying instant shift from stillness to motion left everyone, visually and inwardly alike, with the same question: is this guy even human?

“Ha ha...” The man clutching three long blades suddenly burst into laughter, regarding the hedgehog with a face full of smug delight.

The soldiers on the positions had long since lost count of how many enemies they had killed. They could only keep firing, reloading, firing again. But bullets would eventually run out, and grenades too would eventually be thrown away. At last, the men of the two companies found themselves with no ammunition left at all, and by then they could no longer hold back the Japanese army’s all-out assault.

As Jiang Jiujin listened to Song Xianting treat several lives as though they were weeds, his face could not help but turn deathly pale.

“Dongjo Hideki, I have come to see you,” the fox said with a wicked smile, looking at one of the memorial portraits.

An elder from the Evil Lord’s world could automatically shield his memories to prevent him from cheating too outrageously—but the system was an utterly ridiculous existence. How could that elder possibly block it?

Liu Langjian could not sense it, but the two elders were world gods and their perception was sharper. The moment the aura of the Moon Saint Totem power within Xu Mu’s body revealed itself, they noticed it at once. That noble yet vast presence made the two elders grow deeply wary of Xu Mu.

They no longer even had the heart to quarrel with the spy, and quickly summoned the elders of the True Martial Sect to discuss the matter.

Of course, now was not the time to dwell on that issue. Qin Ya sat by Shen Yue’s bed and reached out to feel his pulse, his brow furrowing at once.

What was even more frightening was that a fully formed shield system signified formidable defensive and offensive capabilities.

That night, Chen Long had no choice but to sleep as well, because this dormitory was a triple room and he had no way to practice the Heaven-Questioning technique inside it. The other two were Germans, and Chen Long could not communicate with them at all.

“In truth, I need not say much. I imagine that all along, your study of the laws of this country, especially the crime of endangering national security, has been very thorough. You are surely also very clear about the punishments meted out in recent years to those who have violated this law.

Yet this dead man showed not the slightest trace of panic in his eyes. That made Brother Yang feel that his pride and dignity had been trampled underfoot.

Yu Yan lowered the hand she had pressed against the glass and sat back on the sofa, her body relaxing once more.

“Good. Then I’ll speak to them now. I’ll let you know when there’s news.” Chen Tai answered crisply, then hung up.

Moreover, there was probably no one present who had the confidence to stand against a top-tier expert from the War God Soul Clan. Li Kuang, the clan god of the Black Dragon Clan, was the teacher of Bu Jingxian, the Eternal Creator God, and also the teacher of Chu Gaoge and Ling Luo, the clan god of the White Dragon Clan.

“More than four thousand? Tsk, tsk, that is indeed a bit little. I imagine Director Li tops out at about ten thousand a month.” Wang Zhi looked at Li Xuanjie and asked.

“Come here.” Even though Pu Yang had left her stunned today, leaving her curious and displeased in equal measure, Shen Hejing still remained composed.

One luminous baton after another, blazing with fierce red light, was dropped from the top of the seventy-meter-high defensive wall, while the infantry behind the barrier raised their assault rifles anxiously, using the light to make out the area within several dozen meters around them.

Outside, the reporters waiting at the foreign ministries of various countries had no idea what had happened. They only knew that after that meeting, mysterious in tone and thick with hidden implications, every country had begun issuing harsher orders in succession and stockpiling ever greater quantities of military supplies.

“You are quite good. If there is anything in the future you cannot handle, you may tell me.” Comrade Hu Daming was very pleased with General Manager Fang Li’s performance.

Because she saw Robin seemingly struck by a mental blow and sinking into despondency, Liona, who had been watching the battlefield all along, immediately stepped forward alone to meet the dozen or so Insecta soldiers in their Armor Ant biological exoskeletons as they charged toward her.

Within such a field of tumbling stones, one could not control one’s flight path and could only drift along with the forces within the rocky storm, pressed onward toward ever deeper regions, enduring without end the shrieking impact of stones and scrap metal.

As long as computer games were novel enough and eye-catching enough, he could still bring them to greatness and let them shine and blaze in this bizarre and dazzling gaming world.

If Su Chen’s blood before had been red with a trace of gold, then now his blood was half gold and half red, existing in a state between the two.

Camus immediately understood, aimed at the flame, and sent a jet of water straight at it, extinguishing it at once.

After hearing some of what Yan Guyi had said, Luo He roughly understood what kind of place it was.

What was more, Ye Xingchen possessed the mysterious and unfathomable origin of the Thunder Saint Art, which completely restrained the Purple Nether Refining Void Flame. Let alone one Zhou Zhi, even if there were three or five of him, Ye Xingchen would still kill them without hesitation.

The city’s buildings all clearly bore the style of desert regions: towering domes rose into the clouds, and magical defense towers were built upon shattered stone bases, hovering above the city’s key defensive nodes.

Su Chen went straight to the mission hall and explained the situation to the disciple there. Under the disciple’s astonished gaze, he then produced five stalks of Blood Flame Grass. After everything was confirmed, he received the mission reward of one hundred spirit stones.

“You don’t even know this, and you say you have dealt with the Cosmic Races Alliance?” North Peak Gore asked, somewhat speechless.
