Volume 1, Chapter 21: The Fifth Master Seeks a Divorce

With these thoughts in mind, Wu Fei suddenly looked at Felix with a grave expression. "Brother, is there any other exit to this stone cave?" Wu Fei suspected that these men had fled elsewhere, and the two fire-wielders from earlier were surely acting as a cover for their comrades.

Having lost two powerful warriors in quick succession, the backlash from the Heavenly Dao Divinity was becoming difficult to bear, prompting them to retreat to preserve their strength.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared before Kalie. Before Kalie could react, a long sword had already reached him. This sudden strike erupted in a brilliant white light that dazzled in all directions, blinding the surrounding guards for an instant. By the time they recovered, five or six of them had already collapsed to the ground.

Old Wolf had never looked at Wu Fei with such seriousness. Wu Fei met his gaze and nodded; she had no idea what might be coming from the other side, but she understood clearly that she must do exactly as Old Wolf said, lest they trigger some unforeseen catastrophe.

This demonstrated that the performance of the "Blazing Fire" was entirely reliable, making it perfectly suited for dealing with the German V3.

As the horn call shifted, the beast-soldiers moved into defensive and offensive formations without needing orders from their clansmen. They pushed out the crude boats they had built themselves, howling as they prepared for a life-or-death battle against the Far East navy.

Mu Zhiqin led her troops upstream, passing corpses scattered in disarray—some soldiers, some civilians. Several Zhaoge soldiers attempted to set houses ablaze to create complete chaos. The local security squads sent to suppress them had long since been scattered by a few charges and had vanished without a trace.

"Come, Ryan, channel your mental energy into this crystal ball." Toris produced a transparent crystal ball from thin air, though it was etched with a magic circle.

"Chen Yihan, be obedient. If you don't leave now, I really will be angry," Jiang Haoran said, his face stern and his eyes bulging.

Lin Xue looked at the table full of her favorite dishes, tears streaming down her face, which left Ouyang Zhiyuan feeling heartbroken.

"As far as you know, what is Zhu Panxiang’s physical condition? Are there any health issues, such as cardiovascular problems?" He Ning asked.

However, Brett Brown noticed An Xi’s smile; it seemed less forced than before. *Wait, could it be that An Xi hasn't lost confidence in this game?*

Having tested the Emperor’s true feelings, Consort Wei Shu’s mood soured. She had no desire to spar with Bai Jiao and spoke viciously.

The jungle was filled with hidden dangers, and even though she was accustomed to high-intensity combat, she could not help but feel a bit exhausted.

"Big brother!" the man said with a grin, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Upon closer inspection, he was quite handsome.

"Our peach tree bears fruit twice a year—once in spring, once in autumn." Lin Xue placed the folded vegetables into a basket and fetched a bucket from under the eaves to wash them.

"I’m coming!" Annie replied, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness; this was her first time disguising herself as someone else, and she feared leaving any telltale clues.

Li Mu’er never forgot such a beauty, but saving her that day had been an accident, and with her heart set on Silver Ear, she hadn't paid much mind to her. Now, prompted by Zhu Youtang, she found herself inclined to take a closer look.

"So, are you and Zhu Panxiang planning to reconcile? If something hadn't happened to her, had the two of you considered divorcing your respective partners to start a life together for real?" After hearing all the talk about emotions, He Ning suddenly posed this question.

The pale, crimson moonlight from the full moon fell upon a hand, giving the palm an unnaturally pallid hue.

Furthermore, it had only been three to five minutes since Gu Yuan emerged, and they hadn't yet realized that they, too, could intervene in this battle.

After speaking, the ministers stared wide-eyed at Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Greetings echoed in Chen Sheng’s ears; he merely nodded slightly in response, not speaking a word.

Li Xiang still had several unused 156-point fatigue potions from a previous leveling event, so he casually clicked to consume one that granted fifty points of fatigue.

Qi Qiaoan responded absentmindedly. Seeing that Long Hu had noticed his gaze, she slightly furrowed her delicate brows and quietly hid behind Long Long.

Prior to this, their leader had already explained the specific division of labor should they move, so they were well-prepared.

With the newly awakened passive skill "Extreme Ghost Sword Technique: Armor Piercing" to reduce defense, and the active awakening skill "Extreme Ghost Sword Technique: Storm" for control and output, the damage output increased significantly by sixty or seventy percent.

Li Xiang decisively tossed it into the reinforcement furnace. Even though a +13 item could sell for tens of thousands, the spectacle was what mattered most.

The Gun God, having finished his trade with Li Xiang, went straight to a club for some "luxury" entertainment; he didn't even watch Li Xiang’s livestream.

Locked under the powerful auras of Lin Xian’er and Lin You’er, even Xiao Yun was forced to take a step back to steady himself. A look of gravity appeared on his handsome, resolute face, though his eyes remained as bright as stars, sharp and keen.

Zhao Mingying swallowed hard as he gazed at the table full of eight large basins of food and a steaming portion of "coarse rice" (cornmeal steamed with white rice).

As the sound faded, the Nine-Star Python’s silhouette darted rapidly toward the location.

"Marquis Shen, Huayin is just ahead. If nothing goes wrong, the enemy will ambush us there," Ying Kang said to Marquis Shen.
