Chapter 157: The Fusion of Man and Sword

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Cao Yi said soothingly, "Father, I understand what you mean. Rest assured, leave everything to me, and you just focus on recovering from your injuries."

Just at that moment, frantic shouts suddenly echoed from outside: "This is bad! The Guardian Elders and the others have already broken in, the city gates are about to fall!"

"Ah? What can we do now? Everyone, run for your lives!"

Hearing these cries, the King on the bed became even more agitated and tried to sit up.

Cao Yi immediately helped his father lie back down: "Leave everything to me, just stay put for now."

After giving a few instructions to the Royal Uncle and the others, he brought Lin Hao and turned to leave the room.

Hanyue on the floor was startled awake by a shrill scream from Hanye, let out an involuntary soft groan, and opened her eyes, which resembled magnificent gemstones. She looked at Hanyue in a daze for a moment, before reacting a short while later.

"Cen'er!" he mumbled like someone talking in his sleep, and I casually sprinkled the Charm Star from my palm into his mouth. He collapsed stiffly and fell into a quiet sleep.

Seeing that the charging wild boar had closed to within five paces of Ah Ming, Liu Xinghao whipped out the wooden stick with a "swish." Cutting through the air with a whistling sound and at a tricky angle, the stick smashed squarely onto the wild boar's snout with a loud "thud."

"The corrosiveness isn't very strong. Circulating true Qi throughout the body doesn't consume much of it either. This is all thanks to refining the Red Fox True Intent; the true Qi carries a trace of the Red Fox True Intent, making it several times stronger than ordinary true Qi," Chen Yu muttered to himself.

Baige trusted Chen Yu deeply. She was well aware of Chen Yu's strength and knew that even if Li Lan were to come personally, he would by no means be a match for Chen Yu.

Country folk have a vast network of relatives, and once they start arriving, a whole crowd shows up. Naturally, Li Hulin also had many family members and neighbors nearby. Seeing so many people coming to find Li Hulin, they rushed over to help as well, and suddenly the courtyard was packed with people.

After hearing this explanation, Wu Biaoyang and Master Fujuju suddenly understood. Master Fujuju nodded in praise, "What a marvelous Great Yu Divine Skill." Wu Biaoyang also wore a look of yearning on his face.

"Sigh, are there any internet cafes nearby?" Liu Xinghao dropped his wine bottle, suddenly blurted this out completely out of context, and looked at Lu Dafeng with an expectant expression.

The man said, "Alright, I'll see you out." With a single wave of his hand, Long Luo only felt a flash of brilliant light before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already standing at the border of the desolate wilderness. Long Luo thought to himself, this Holy Venerable possesses heaven-defying abilities; even a mere sliver of divine consciousness was enough to toss him this far away.

Long Luo asked, "Are there any other Holy Venerables from beyond the realm who haven't entered our realm of cultivation?" Xue Qingru replied, "This was precisely what we worried about back then. In those days, we were completely caught in a passive state, and it was thanks to Long Sang finally resealing the barrier of heaven and earth at the very end. Otherwise, had any more outsiders entered the realm of cultivation, it would have truly fallen completely."

Because he had consistently kept his attention on Lu Xuan, he naturally knew his movements and thus remembered that on this exact day every year, Lu Xuan would go out.

"As for her, when she came to pick me up, Zhu Yan was the one who drove her. They just dropped us off at the dining place and left. They must have seen that the environment there was terrible and got scared away!" Lin Xinyi exaggerated deliberately.

"Originally, I just wanted to go up and see how a pearl turned into a human, but I never expected you to manage to survive," Vikrant said, curling his lip.

And yet, after he left for just ten days, she couldn't bear it anymore, mustered up the courage to propose to him, got married, went on a honeymoon, and now, her pregnancy was confirmed. It had taken less than three months in total, stepping up level by level from lovers to husband and wife, and finally to first-time parents.

Knowing that certain matters could not be discussed in front of outsiders, Lin Zhengyi pulled Ma Ming over to the emergency exit.

The flower field spirit beasts wrapped in the black mist instantly turned into dust, blending into the dark vapors.

Qinghe chuckled softly. He had indeed been very exhausted these past few days and hadn't slept well last night either. Gently placing Yunbai on the sofa, Qinghe headed back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Taking lives amidst laughter and casual conversation without the slightest flicker of emotion—what kind of method was this, and what kind of person could he possibly be?
