Chapter 125: Comprehending the Way of Slaughter

"Roar!"

A thunderous bellow reverberated through the sunless sea of demons. The power of the dragon-demon surged, each strand of energy heavy enough to crush a mountain range. Luo Hao’s punch was incomparably fierce, reaching an extreme level of raw, destructive power.

His pitch-black fist erupted with blinding light, the whistling sound of the strike echoing with the roars of dragons and tigers, as if one were trapped within an infinite, rampaging beast tide.

"He actually made a move!"

Silence descended upon the area near the lava lake. Even in the final moments before Luo Hao struck, many human warriors refused to believe he would dare to act, knowing that to do so was a direct provocation against the taboo.

But now they knew. This was a man capable of battling an ancient true dragon—even if they all understood it was only a phantom...

Sitting at her desk, Su Yangyang looked out toward the corridor. She saw Wang Qi waving at her and was just about to get up to leave when she noticed Wang Qi repeatedly glancing back at someone as he walked away.

Yang Guiqin was stunned. Just moments ago, the man had been humble and subservient while discussing prices with her, yet now he was arrogantly demanding several times the original amount on the spot. Did he really think he could keep her from leaving if she didn't buy his goods?

Now, facing Mu Yan in their duel, he spoke up on the arena stage, though he showed no signs of intense hostility.

"Before he left, he said there was some business to attend to at the Blood Refining Hall, which would take about two months. Now that something has happened to Nan Yi, I tried to send him a message, but there was no response. It is likely that the place where Mo Han is staying has completely blocked all transmission stones," Bai Lu said coldly.

***

A low, muffled sound echoed at that moment. As a violent gust of wind swept through, it blew away the fallen leaves covering the ground. Both men trembled, and they simultaneously took several steps back.

These medicinal herbs were ones he hadn't finished refining before he left. Since he had some free time now, he might as well finish them.

The North Dragon King’s expression was ferocious, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent. Fortunately, the South Dragon King had tested the depth of Zi Yan’s strength for him.

But Ling Feng would not give him that chance. He poured out his spiritual energy without a moment's pause.

"So that's how it is!" Gu Lin and the other two finally realized the truth. They had been living at the bottom of a well, while the real world lay outside.

The two of them were racing against time, but Ya Fu, on horseback, was growing increasingly weak. The long journey had exhausted her, and combined with her significant blood loss, she was now pale and on the verge of collapse.

Tracy personally led his troops to charge the city walls, only to realize something was wrong... He saw nothing but Gushi soldiers and civilians; there was not a single Qin soldier in sight.

Liu Qing saw that Li Xiao looked slightly displeased, leaving him in an awkward position where advancing or retreating both felt wrong.

Shen Yue slapped his forehead. Anesthesia hadn't been invented yet, but in four more years, Hua Tuo would be executed by Boss Cao.

Xiao Miyao rolled her eyes, went into the kitchen, and boiled a bowl of noodles for him to eat with the side dishes.

Even a fool could hear the threat in Lin Fan's words, let alone the shrewd people present.

As Palmer stepped onto the stage, the bodyguard Maeda Touyou launched an unexpected attack, swiftly subduing Wade and forcing him to use his abilities under command.

"I have video evidence of Zhou Tai. I am not blackmailing him; this matter is true!" Zhao Gang said, hurriedly pulling out his phone, finding the video, and handing it to Captain Sun.

Because of this, City 13 produced a significant number of beast corpses every day. However, due to technical limitations, the hides and meat of these beasts had never been utilized effectively.

Xu You sobered up instantly. As the night wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver, only to realize his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The generals voiced their opinions, each holding their own view, arguing endlessly. In the end, Han Dang's faction gained the upper hand, and it was decided that Sun Quan would temporarily take charge of the military and political affairs of Jiangdong.

At that moment, a powerful aura filled the entire hall. Everyone present widened their eyes and held their breath. That presence, that movement, that expression—was it not their sect leader, Duan Chenyuan?

Lu Bu had long heard of Li Yan’s reputation and knew he was a rare talent. More importantly, he needed to use Li Yan as an example to continue winning the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, so he treated him with great generosity.
