Chapter 27

Taiyi’s Heaven-Mixing Silk was cast out as well. Amid the blazing flames, the two-zhang-wide streak of red light was hardly noticeable. Yet though it was launched later, it arrived first. Just as the tip of the Fire-Tip Spear was only a foot from Jiang Shang’s face, it flashed through that narrow gap and blocked the space between Nezha and Jiang Shang.

“Hahahaha… Let’s see whether you can still catch me!” White Snow threw out those words before fleeing for her life once more.

After Aotian crashed into the raging icy winds, he immediately felt terrifying forces of tearing surge toward him from every direction.

Feng Wuhen treated this father-in-law of his with exceptional respect. He personally helped him to his feet, then motioned for everyone uninvolved to withdraw before asking in a low voice, “How is Grandfather’s condition? No need to put on an act.”

“Aqi, you’ve rushed here to see me. What urgent matter is there?” There seemed to be an indescribable anxiety in Feng Wuzhao’s voice.

The dispersal of the First Cause began the shattering of the entire chain of causality. It was the same principle as the increase of cosmic entropy in the spatial state that Lu Ya had observed, the two reflecting one another. Yet because of the constraints imposed by the life equation, Rodrick could only flee forever. He was a creature of causal chains, and the end of causality was the end of his life.

“Don’t talk about money to a brother who would live and die alongside you, and don’t mention gratitude, either. Once you’re gone, stay well away from the spear.” Hearing the faint rustle of footsteps outside the door, Field hurriedly lay down.

Wang Tianxu had also wanted to test just how effective this spell was. After trying it, he discovered that it could not withstand a single strike from the Soul-Chasing Nail.

It was clearly Yun Qianmeng’s mother who had forced her way between Father and Mother. Why, in the end, was he the one who had to bear all the blame?

Although she did not say so outright, Liu Sheng Junichiro already knew that she did not believe he could kill Yang Chun.

“What reason could Sima Yao have for refusing? Uncle Bao, did you explain the implications clearly to him?” Liu Muzhi asked with a frown.

“Master, we can’t go any farther. If we advance again, they’re bound to become suspicious!” He Wuji said softly.

Of course, he was not overly pessimistic. In his view, given Tang Yi’s talent—and the fact that he had been summoned personally by the higher-ups—even if Tang Yi had interrupted their deliberations, they presumably would not punish him too severely. At most, they would scold him a couple of times.

Besides, Earth had been carrying out campaigns to eradicate feudal superstition for countless years.

The Fatty understood at once. He secretly sighed at how difficult life was for these media people. Anyone who survived was a shrewd operator. Even those who had truly been clueless had recently been “eliminated” by him in some number; the rest had no choice but to sharpen their wits.

Yet none of the eight showed the slightest trace of fear. Even if what you said was right, what use was it?

“These foreign races are truly cunning. They’ve actually chosen this turtle-shell style of warfare. Perhaps once they gather their army, they’ll launch an attack on us themselves!” Song Ming had remained silent just now, but he had already developed a bad feeling. These foreign races would certainly continue assembling their forces and invade the Human Federation.

But when he thought of how Li Mengru was very likely trapped by that terrifying Beast King in the projected world, Song Ming grew dissatisfied with his own strength. That was why he had decided not to go to the Suspended Continent just yet, but to visit Jade Void Star first. He could meet his friend there while taking the opportunity to improve his cultivation.

Still, those lucky enough to escape were either blessed by incredible fortune or possessed unparalleled strength, and there were not many such people.

Although they had suffered heavy losses as well, the thought of Chu Yan’s expression when he gained nothing at all filled him with uncontainable delight.

Su Qi closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He understood that a life-or-death battle was about to begin.

As flames were infused into the bow’s core, the Nine-Heavens Azurefall Bow underwent a transformation as well, becoming a bow of fire. Its string was like a pillar of flame, and its body resembled a fiery dragon.

Although Zhou Yu still could not understand exactly what sort of existence the axis of time was, he could at least grasp that it was certainly something profound and mysterious. If the Lord of Time and Space could truly extend the axis of time, then such a feat would undoubtedly constitute a tremendous challenge for him.

The circumstances of these two Primordial-Spirit Grandmasters differed entirely from those of the other three, so naturally they were unwilling to do the same thing.

On the other side, after worshiping for a long while amid thunderous cries that shook the mountains and seas, Xiong Dinghai and the other barbarians cautiously raised their heads—and saw a scene that made their hearts pound with terror.

Li Yunchen pondered for a moment. Everything he had done up to now was intended to win the favor of this Sun耀 Divine Son and draw closer to him. If he could help the man win the woman he loved, then borrowing the Ancient Path Platform or anything similar would pose no problem at all.

Liu Qing sensed that something was wrong, but he still could not resist turning around. He saw the Demon Saber, resembling a god of war on the battlefield, charge straight into the battlefield atop the Golden Summit.

Shen Yuanxi even joked that if enough Thunderstone Ore were used to forge flying swords, they would possess not only indestructible power and lightning speed, but also immunity to wind and thunder. They could even be combined with one of the sect’s superior secret arts, allowing thousands upon thousands of bolts of lightning to descend with a mere movement of the mind.

Wu Zibo coughed once. As his fingers brushed the fan, its edge transformed into a natural arc and extended forward slightly. A faint cyan radiance of righteous virtue splashed out ahead of him.

Moke froze for a moment, then laughed. “I understand. You still know nothing about this place.”

Moke’s attitude toward Zhou Yu was excellent now as well. His former wariness toward Zhou Yu and the others had vanished completely. After laughing, he wholeheartedly introduced Zhou Yu to everything he wanted to know about the situation.

The palanquin stopped. A formidable man dressed in bright-yellow brocade lifted the curtain and stepped out.

Black Tiger and Chu Feng agreed on a time to meet Elder Wan the following evening, then departed first. From then on, of course, all Chu Feng needed to do when coming to visit was show his face.
