At this moment, Wu Shengfeng was the true Beast Emperor. His injuries no longer mattered. That single punch had even shattered the giant dragon’s skull, sending splintered bones raining from the sky amid blood and brain matter.

For now, they could only investigate the places they suspected, one by one. The place under the greatest suspicion was the imperial palace’s restricted grounds.

As for Kong Huan’s question, An Yichen paused briefly before deciding it would be wiser to show some tact. She then nodded directly.

These three roads formed the central wholesale market for all kinds of goods in J Province, and most of Beicheng’s GDP came from here.

“Brother Duo… Oh, County Magistrate Hai, how are you two?” Wang Ke helped Zhang Duo and Hai Dagu to their feet, asking with concern written all over his face.

Generally speaking, for a super battle beast to mutate and acquire a human face required more than merely a high spiritual cultivation. It also needed an extraordinarily long lifespan, since such a mutation took countless years—or perhaps it had something to do with biological genes as well.

Of course, those words were really meant to placate Su Ya. If she kept making such a fuss, it was unlikely that he would stop liking her, but he would still become disappointed. Hadn’t she once said that when disappointment accumulated enough, one would let go? He did not dare say what would happen if his own disappointment continued to pile up.

But ever since Mu Feng appeared, Lan Zhi Ting had changed. Twice, she had used her connections to resolve problems for Mu Feng.

On the fifth day of the third month, at the fourth watch, the sound of song, dance, and stringed instruments filled Bensi Alley without pause. It was the busiest time of day for business.

Sure enough, A Zhuang had not lied. This Treasure Dragon really had learned Water Cannon, and judging from the data in its records, it seemed to be developing quite well.

As soon as Xing Tian finished speaking, he arrived before Feng Yao and seized her by the throat. At that moment, Xing Yunji caught hold of Xing Tian’s arm, preventing him from crushing Feng Yao’s neck.

As the Poké Ball finally stopped shaking, everyone’s hearts settled. After seeing Zapdos captured, Torterra glanced at Shinji, who had picked up the Poké Ball, then collapsed helplessly to the ground and fainted.

Within the Eastern Sovereign Palace stood a celestial prison. Two people were confined there: one was the Arrow God Xia Yi, and the other was the Jade Emperor Qionggao. Qionggao had never imagined that he would end up imprisoned alongside Xia Yi. It was absurd beyond words.

When he heard him mention Princess Xuewu, Zhao Xingfeng immediately felt helpless. He knew perfectly well that Princess Xuewu was deeply in love with him, but what else could he do? He could only sigh and say, “Very well. Since that is the case, I shall first go and comfort Princess Xuewu. Thank you for reminding me, Imperial Brother.” With that, he rose and walked out.

“Neither this nor that will work. Unless there is an incantation, all our efforts will be completely wasted,” Yang Ting said to Yan Wu.

As the name suggests, Zherui represents metal. Clearly, Zherui Fist was a martial technique of the metal element. Zhou Jingkong was a metal-element warrior, so when he employed Zherui Fist, its power was comparable to that of a Profound-Rank martial technique.

“When that maid blocking the door stopped the master, around what time was it?” Upon hearing Suo’er’s words, Jun Li suddenly remembered that the Elder Madam Yang had briefly left while they were playing cards. She had more or less guessed what scheme the Elder Madam Yang was pursuing.

“Hahahaha, Haotian, it seems fate will ultimately favor me. As for you, I think you will still die within this Nine-Bend Dragon Chant Formation.” After saying this to Haotian, Xing Tian’s hand transformed into a razor-sharp claw and lunged toward him.

If nothing unexpected happened, whatever lay there must have some connection with the Yin-Yang Dragon-Phoenix Diagram inside the ring on his hand.

Earlier, the influential Li Weimin had also said that before he arrived, it seemed as though some force had been preventing them from coming into contact with the truth.

The spiritual power projected from the secret realm enveloped the two hundred people present. Two breaths later, every disciple had vanished from where they stood.

Like Thresh, this lottery-style support champion also wielded a hook. As long as the hook struck its target, there was an eighty percent chance that someone on the opposing side would die.

“Jiu Yue, the palace rewards are nothing special. But haven’t you always wanted a jade scepter? I know Grandmother has one…” Jun Lie described the jade scepter in detail, and Xiao Jiu Yue was captivated.

This was the foremost battlefront in the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism. Only beings who had reached such profound realms could withstand the Buddhist sect’s assault.

Su Ni was the most gifted young traditional Chinese painter Old Crane had ever encountered. Even he fell slightly short of her skill when standing before her. Her fame had long since spread throughout the country and abroad, and many renowned painters spared no expense to commission her work.

Judging from her life experiences, all the companies she had worked for in the past had wronged her. Zhangku had always found that people like her never considered what profits they could bring to a company; they thought only of what the company could give them. Taking her lively and adorable nature into account, Gao Yuan gave her sixty points and told her to go home and wait for word.

Just moments ago, this older fellow had been arguing fiercely with him, even producing solid evidence. He had begun to wonder whether some of the things he had said earlier had once again been slanderous.

Taking advantage of the opening, Zeng Tuo and the others hurriedly drew together and formed up around him as the center of their formation. They fully brought their respective abilities and techniques into play, coordinating closely to create an impregnable battle line.

He had originally planned to bring her back to his side and begin anew, but Hai Yidong realized that the subjects of their conversation had truly strayed far from his original intention.

At that thought, Ye Zhichen was unwilling, but he still obediently followed Gu Xi out.

Wang Ying’s attitude was outright contempt—absolute contempt. He did not care in the slightest about a high-level Earth-Rank divine ability, and such disdain made the corner of Zhang Tianlin’s mouth twitch faintly.
