Chapter Ninety-Six: Acquiring the Divine Artifact (Bonus Chapter with Gratitude)

Feeling the movement beneath his claws, Su Li struck a dozen more times in rapid succession. With every blow, the black mist swirling around his body grew thinner.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump..."

The commotion on the rafters immediately caught Chen Yue's attention. She looked up abruptly, horrified to see the creature in the great hall...

"Accept an exclusive interview with them? I have no desire to meet such unscrupulous media." Bai Jie despised these paparazzi-like reporters; sports journalists acting like entertainment columnists.

Arthur’s gaze rippled with gentle, liquid warmth as he stared affectionately at the scabbard and the sword, a sight that made Qi Wuce feel a wave of cringing discomfort.

This world was far more magical and bizarre than Gu De had imagined. Of course, he would not miss such an opportunity to pry every piece of information known to the old man out of him.

Even so, this force was not something an ordinary person could endure. Gongsun Jie was sprawled on the ground, twitching in agony, unable to utter another curse.

Zong Xin spoke these words with great confidence. Sun Fangzheng knew well that Zong Xin was not short on money. Trying to bribe the wealthiest man of the era with cash? It was impossible from the start, but Sun Fangzheng had merely been testing the waters, hoping perhaps for a stroke of luck. Since money wouldn’t work, he would have to find something else to bribe him with.

Suddenly, Yao Yao’s expression turned grim. She stared intently at Zong Xin, then glanced back at Dugu Xingyue and Ning An, her face full of confusion.

"Hmph, is that all you've got? If so, I see no reason to waste any more time on you." Seeing Ling Yu barely dodge her attack, Luan Ji sneered and said in a deep voice.

Looking at the city wall destroyed by some kind of heavy siege engine, and the moat bridged by numerous makeshift passages, Qi Wuce walked into Hoik through the shattered gate.

This was a crucial competition designed to resolve conflicts between Magic Armorists and Mecha Armorists and to allocate resources. Therefore, the Magic Armorist Association required at least three elders to participate each time, while the remaining elders would send their subordinates to compete, rotating with each event.

A magical item, a squad of special troops, a war implement, and five skill points—these were the total gains from Shi Tou’s four draws.

Daoist Sansheng suddenly slapped his forehead, filled with regret. In his nervous, jumpy state, he had completely forgotten to ask for the names of Fang and Lei.

Unfortunately, following the sudden outbreak of that vast, ancient dream catastrophe, such sorcerers completely withered away in the years that followed.

"It’s alright! With Gong Liu and the others there, your lantern should have been brought inside the house long ago!" Fuxian said, trying to comfort her master as she watched her panic.

Nona spoke Russian with great fluidity, but she seemed to have switched to "Japanese-style Russian" to accommodate Helisa, whose Russian proficiency was clearly lackluster.

Ice Profound Crystal and Asura Divine Mushroom—ice and fire, two extremes—perfectly complemented each other and served as an excellent harmonizing agent.

In passing, Hua Ni did not forget to summon a vine to drag the man who had been on the ground inside as well.

Just as he reached the brown-red gate of the residence, the melodious tolling of a bell rang out: "Dong, dong..." Although these chimes sounded no different from those in a temple, for some reason, they filled him with intense revulsion.

This was a notification from the journal. The blood-red font, especially the words "Underworld Realm," looked visceral, with a cold and ominous aura washing over him.

Without utilizing any power, Xiao Feng was, at this moment, the master of the world before him. He did not need to exert any strength to walk through the void with every step—a feat that those in the World Venerable realm could never achieve.

Hearing Qiu Yu’s question, Ji Ning couldn't help but look puzzled. She lowered her head in thought for about ten seconds before looking up again, her face now displaying great determination.
