Chapter 105: Outstanding

Bang!

Unexpectedly, just as Shen Hai shifted his stance, the Iron Wolf twisted its waist midair, and its left leg, like a whip, lashed toward Shen Hai once again.

Shen Hai, having just regained his balance, never imagined Iron Wolf would attack in such a way.

For a moment, he reflexively leaned back, but his expression quickly changed as he tried to evade.

However, by then, it was already far too late.

...

“How should I know? Your father has so many strategists at his disposal, my brain cells are nearly exhausted. Right now, I just don’t want to think,” Gu Qing replied with a smile, examining the silver token in his hand as if he were admiring a beautiful woman.

Taking in the peaceful home before him, Gu Qing let out a long breath. This game of chess was finally ready to play! Unknowingly, he had made more than a few enemies in the Great Tang over the past years. In the past, he could act without fear, but now he was soon to have a child — any threat to himself would also endanger his child. The Lu family’s downfall was inevitable.

Only after truly becoming disabled does one realize how precious it is to have both arms. Yu Congbei had come to accept his fate, believing he would have to wait twenty years until he reached the Tianyuan Realm to regrow his left arm. But now, an opportunity had arisen, allowing him to recover his lost limb far sooner.

Steward Tang was equally astonished. He asked himself—when he was at the True Essence Realm, he could never have executed such a technique.

A sword ray, swift as purple lightning, shot forth and struck its target in an instant. Guang Tian’s head tumbled to the ground, his headless corpse plummeting, and a gleaming spirit shot from his body, only to be snatched up by the golden light radiating from the Jade Cauldron.

It wasn’t just the Hundred Beasts Pirate Crew; perhaps the Fire Dragon Pirate Crew and all its subordinate bands had been utterly wiped out in this earth-shattering explosion in the Land of Harmony.

Hu Ximei took the flying boat, her heart anxious. “Master, is there danger in meeting Ning Luo?” She wanted to accompany Lian Haiping, but feared she would only be a burden in her current state, torn by inner conflict.

Huo Ran, on the other hand, cared little for this. There would be food once he got home. Silence was preferable — it meant peace and quiet.

Zhang Bao, together with Duan Yidao, happened to be patrolling a nearby venue. Upon hearing this, he couldn’t let it slide.

“This Yu Hao is so desperate for the Bone-Growing Pill. He must have a crippled family member or friend. I’m going to make sure he never gets it and watch him squirm!” Sha Zhenhao muttered to Hou Yingfan in a low voice.

He was a man with keen battle instincts. As soon as his cards were upgraded, he immediately combined his current hand and available resources to carve out a path for himself.

At that moment, however, Qiqige picked up her wine cup and strode directly toward Zhu Jinghong, snatching up a jar of wine from the table as she passed.

Luofu took a sip of tea, casting a casual glance at the True Lord. To be fair, Liu Yanchang’s achievements were quite impressive.

He hadn’t been able to lift his head at the New Year’s dinner table for three years now. All he wanted was to save a bit of money and have a less humiliating New Year.

There was no need to worry about Yan Yunshu. Every “pot” had someone to watch and someone to run errands, and with an expert like him overseeing things, the results would be twice as good with half the effort. She would never refuse. He only worried that this fellow might have the ambition but not the nerve, and might ruin his plans at the last moment.

But now, she couldn’t even force a smile. She was pacing anxiously, like an ant on a hot pan.

Though he said so, deep down he felt wronged, thinking he wasn’t to blame for this matter.

Chen Ping’s wife, Wu Shiyu, grabbed the glass tumbler in front of her, ready to hurl it at Chen Ping.

Their equipment for examining Guru prisoners was so advanced it could analyze even the slightest anomaly within a Guru’s body in just a few seconds.

Not far from me drifted a legless wraith, shuffling along at a torturously slow pace! I cast an appraisal.

What next? Wasn’t it obvious? Attack Xingyuan, of course! That was the unanimous thought rising in everyone’s mind.
