Chapter 74: Jinming Gravely Wounded

“Dark? Who are you? What do you mean?”
Nan Qing looked warily at the suddenly appearing Zou Ming and questioned him.

“I am from the Zou family in the provincial capital. I have a grudge against Qin Yu, so my desire to deal with him is the same as yours. Why don’t we join forces and settle Qin Yu together?”

...

It seemed like a ranking based on martial prowess, yet there was something different about it. Many people’s placements weren’t directly tied to their strength. As they tried to discern the reasoning, the mentors remained silent, and eventually they realized it must be closely related to the previous three tests.

The guards in front of the carriage fell one after another. The two masked men in black at the forefront exchanged a glance, then sprang up, leaping through the air. Their bodies flashed with green light, swooping down like eagles hunting rabbits toward the sedan.

As everyone from the human and elven tribes instinctively retreated, Han Yan’s eyes glistened with tears as she prepared to rush forward. However, in the earlier brief battle, they had used nearly half of their own strength; now, even she could not approach the flames.

“Fatty Wang, I’m furious, so I’ve decided to raise the price! That ivory folding fan—if it’s less than two and a half million silver, I won’t sell it! I’ll keep it for you until tomorrow; if you come the day after, it’ll be three million!” Long Tianwei scrambled to his feet, his nose still filled with the scent of sweat, nearly gagging, and snarled fiercely.

“Is that so? Then why bother with words? You can make your move, but you’ll die by my hand—do you believe it?” Xuling’s gentle brows arched sharply as she spoke the last two words, becoming strikingly fierce, like a sword unsheathed after a thousand years of honing—cold and menacing, murder in her gaze.

Facing other contestants, Gu Rong was genuinely a little afraid of Chu Tianyu. He was astonished by how Chu subdued opponents with a single move, his methods so swift and merciless that Gu Rong dared not act recklessly.

What he didn’t know was that Xuling had always considered herself a wandering soul in the world, rootless and ephemeral, so Chen Jing constantly felt she was like mist without anchor, ready to vanish at any moment.

No one had ever seen the true face of Death, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the Sha family, Yuan Xing at this moment was its incarnation.

I, Yin Tianzheng, have dominated all my life; since I made my name, no one has dared to act unruly in my presence. Yet now, this young man brazenly claims I am unqualified, and right before me, mocks me without a care and walks away.

The others sat upright, not daring to breathe, their expressions somber, afraid of inviting calamity.

At this moment, the chief of Hilton Village sat with his arms crossed, praying constantly that the coming war would not be too cruel, and that the harmony of the village could remain intact.

Hidden in the shadows, Patch heard his name and immediately focused his attention, then he caught another familiar name—Nick Fury.

According to what she said, if one day she could survive and reach the pinnacle of this world, would she be able to answer everything?

Chen Tianyi referred to that time when he was arrested for kidnapping Zhao Jie, and Tang Ya took Jason to extract information from Sun Meiping.

I exhaled with relief. Fortunately, Shen Yin is calm even in crisis, and she truly knows how to handle men. In this regard, I am far inferior.

The refined man had already returned to his normal state, as if his arm had never suddenly lengthened.

Able to detect all personnel activity within a fifty-kilometer radius and project the scene, this was the true power of the detection magic stone Patch had crafted so long ago.
