Volume 1, Chapter 49: The Guards Harbor a Will to Die, They Embrace Certain Death!

"Cousin, hurry back and notify everyone to be on guard. It would be best to discuss what to do next."

"Alright, you stay hidden here and make sure they don’t find you. I’ll head back right away."

Shen Ziqian didn’t dare delay and immediately returned to deliver the warning.

Once he was gone, Shen Shuli set off toward the battlefield.

She took out her night vision goggles and observed carefully.

The more she watched, the grimmer her expression became.

Yet, Gui Xinhua kept pestering her for money, insisting that business required a foundation and upfront capital. Shen Shuli could only find work at a printing factory. Being a laborer was better than selling vegetables, but she barely earned over a thousand yuan a month—nowhere near enough to satisfy Gui Xinhua’s demands.

A snake-man quickly forced a smile and said, “According to the news from yesterday, the two of them have been slaughtering their way into human territory. Based on their current location, they’re most likely to pass through either Silver City or Tianye City. Which place should we intercept them?”

Ghost Unworried and his group now fully understood just how powerful Ling Tianyu was—his strength was truly formidable.

Then, under the teleportation from the Sword Tower of the Heavenly Martial Sword Sect, the space around Zhan Chen twisted slightly. Like a whirlpool, it sucked him in, and he soon emerged from the Phantom Night Forest.

“Report back to the sect and say the Ancient Phoenix bloodline has appeared. Also, bring over the records of the Ancient Phoenix clan,” the elder ordered those who had arrived. It was clear he wasn’t planning to leave anytime soon; his visit was specifically aimed at Ling Tianyu.

Xu Yuexuan raised his staff and waved his hand, activating the staff’s effect, which appeared on the team’s chat interface.

“Heh, I definitely want to dismantle this contraption later and see how easy it really is,” a bloodthirsty grin spread across his face.

Mu Yingchen was the complete opposite—his entire being radiated an icy chill, comparable to Leng Zishuo.

“Husband, where are we going treasure hunting today?” Guo Yun gazed lovingly at his long sword, eager to rush out of the county and fight.

Roberts stretched out his hand and called, “Sir…” Then, the bar was suddenly empty. He stood still, dazed for a moment before shaking his head helplessly and limping away with his injuries.

Facing two attacks simultaneously, Shi Tian showed no sign of panic. A sharp gleam flashed in his blue eyes as he raised his left hand and punched fiercely. His fist, covered in golden scales and shimmering with dazzling light, struck the earth-toned staff with overwhelming power.

The seemingly sturdy vine was no match for the ghost wolf’s razor-sharp claws. In an instant, it snapped into two, green tendrils and sap flying everywhere, quickly consumed by the advancing flames until only a trace of white ash quietly fell.

Pan Zhang charged ahead on horseback, leading the 7,000 troops of the Jiangdong army like a tidal wave, overwhelming the Wei camp.

“What’s going on here? So many people bullying just one child? All of you get out of here!” The old bridge guard shouted, and the others exchanged glances before backing off.

Liu Miao choked back tears, unable to look at Xia Shiguang’s expression. She had just sensed how furious he was.

Looking further, Bo Qichen’s furrowed brows relaxed. It wasn’t as serious as Ouyang Zuo had said—there was no public confession.

But this calm was like a volcano on the verge of eruption. The peace was only surface-deep; beneath it brewed a fury powerful enough to destroy everything.

In Niu Fu’s heart, of course, he wanted to see Dong Huang dead. To that end, he had to agree to continue the burning, looting, and pillaging of Nanyang.

Qiao Xia thought for a long time. Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, she decided to go see what the Fan family really meant.

Xuan Ming placed both hands on the table, watching Ye Zi who was deliberately changing the subject, but he said nothing.

This middle-aged man kept apologizing, but I no longer had the heart to listen. I turned and left the Cheng family, and Gu Yilin brought me to the police station.
