(163) Second-Stage Powdered Egg

That fatal strike was a micro-missile, carrying high-level spiritual power and moving with blinding speed. Even Liu Yi was completely unable to react, lacking even the fleeting moment required to retreat into her spatial dimension.

Just as it was about to touch her vital spot and terror surfaced on her face, a figure flashed from nowhere, using his own body to block the lethal blow.

The violent force generated a massive shockwave, affecting everyone present. Buildings collapsed, a bloody mist filled the air, and shattered flesh—

In this world, rules exist mostly to constrain the weak. When power reaches a certain level where one can disregard the rules, it is called privilege. Privilege, at the end of the day, is simply a matter of whether your fists are hard enough.

A surging spiritual pressure emanated from the wooden slip, transforming into what looked like a sharp sword that pierced directly into the firmament. Yet, in an instant, it flickered and vanished into the void. The previously brilliant purple glow instantly turned dim, hovering helplessly back and forth a few times before falling dejectedly toward the ground.

"Hold your ground at all costs," Jia Xu said coldly. Although Wei Yan had suffered a defeat, he had successfully dragged Cao Cao's entire army down to the south. The key to success or failure now rested upon Lu Bu of the Northern Army.

Zhang Zhao had a guilty conscience; the moment he retreated, Jia Xu would confirm his suspicion of a feigned surrender. Arrows rained down like a storm.

Xie Tong looked back at the black and blue spiritual energy soaring into the distant sky. "To be able to fight the Sword Fool to this extent—another peerless expert. Black spiritual energy... Could it be?" Guessing the general outline, Xie Tong decided not to dwell on it further.

Flash of endless terror in his eyes, the guard wielding the serpentine sword opened his mouth as if to roar wildly, but in a split second, his head was struck as if by lightning. His consciousness shattered instantly, vanishing into nothingness, and his body plummeted heavily from mid-air.

Wishing not to draw too much attention, Lin Jingyi parked his vehicle in a secluded spot and walked over to the long-unvisited "Constellation" bar.

"Brother Longyang!" A crisp greeting rang out from the entrance as Yan Yan ran in. He had come to deliver giant rat meat to Longyang, never expecting to walk right into the line of fire.

The weather was fine and the sea was clear, with waves crashing against the beach wave after wave, day in and day out. Jia closed his eyes in silent stillness, uttering not another word.

Elder Fan closed his eyes to sense the surroundings, pushing his spiritual perception to the absolute limit. After a long moment, he opened his eyes, biting down on his cheek as he spat out a sentence, his eyes still burning with lingering resentment.

As the group arrived at the first-tier human breeding area, Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the humans locked inside the cells and asked with pity.

Seeing everyone fall silent, Yang Linyan realized she must have guessed wrong, but wasn't that the purpose of opening a pet shop? Or was it to disguise a legal identity?

His hand slowly reached toward Liu Qingzhao's body, but just as it was about to touch her, the phantom of a sword flashed through his mind, stabbing sharply at his nerves.

Especially these special forces soldiers, who originally broke away from the Wolf Guards. Encountering someone familiar would only make it easier for them to be exposed.

"Alright, deskmate. Then I'll be going, deskmate. Bye-bye, deskmate." Mu Xi repeated the word "deskmate" three times, wanting to let Jiang Yu know that what she had just said was completely serious.

This time, he had no need whatsoever to rely on an off-the-cuff speech or make promises to the entire student body, as he did last time, to win the attention of the crowd.

Lu Chengfeng brought Ning Xi to Tangshan, located to the southeast of Jinling City. Nowadays, this Tangshan area was rarely visited by humans, making it an extremely secretive location to station his newly formed Shadow Guards. Furthermore, it was very close to Jinling City; one could travel from Tangshan to the gates of Jinling in less than half a day.

"We are all people sharing misery, why must you be so ruthless?" Li Danda finished speaking and continued running forward.

"Then close your eyes and lie down properly. Shall I tell you a story?" Jiang Yu put down the study materials in his hand.

Moreover, this world was inherently one where the strong preyed upon the weak, true both in this realm and back on Earth. As humans at the apex of the food chain, they could slaughter other creatures at will.
