Chapter 113: A Desperate Counterattack

The freezing water of the subterranean river soaked through Bai Yuenin's clothes, its biting chill mingling with the agonizing pain of her wounds, relentlessly eroding her near-numb nerves. Crouched behind a rock, she suppressed her breathing until it was barely audible; her spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and her consciousness teetered on the brink of fading into darkness.

The roar of the underground river was eternal, and through the thick mist and rushing water, the foul, blood-tainted aura of her pursuers drew ever closer. The nameless old specter had clearly lost his final shred of patience and ceased his meticulous search.

Mu Qianhen and Fu Yuan both turned their gazes toward Hu Xiu. Now, not only them, but everyone present followed suit.

Tang Yichen cursed through her tears once more, but then the cabin fell into absolute darkness. Cold, helplessness, and terror enveloped her. She no longer wished to struggle in such agony, and as her consciousness gradually blurred, her eyes slowly drifted shut.

However, the core of the Otherworld Moon remained in the other realm. Under the direction of Isabelle and Rebas, the operation to channel the energy of the Otherworld Moon toward Kakabu had begun, but the core itself would likely take considerable time to reach this location.

Without waiting for Yano to react, Li Xiaoyi pulled him into a bear hug, his eyes brimming with joy.

Ling'er shrugged, unimpressed, though the expression of the Celestial Cat shifted from anger to unexpected gentleness.

"If this were a gamble, I would be willing to stake all my chips on you. Even if I lost, I would have no regrets." He Liancheng looked up, gazing at me with profound intensity, speaking in a slow, deliberate cadence.

Before I could react, he shoved me into the car. He then moved to the other side, climbed in, and quickly drove away from the alley.

"Knowing that, why do you still do it?" Bai Baoguo stopped shouting, seeming to calm down, but those who knew him well—like Master Wu and Old Limp—understood that this was when he was truly on the verge of an outburst.

To the northwest of the wilderness stood a grove of towering, ancient trees. Behind the dense forest lay a secluded valley, the home of Qing'e and her family.

By the time Chen Baihu and Wang Tiehai began their grand-scale search for Gui Rong, he had already settled down in a hotel in Guangzhou.

Meteor said to Zhenling, "Zhenling, one enemy plane has escaped. Should we pursue it?"

It was not just the Demon race; at that moment, even Shi Tian's divine sword, "God-Slayer," trembled as the golden eagle phantom appeared. Under the purest power of Buddhism, the "God-Slayer" felt immense suppression. As an "evil blade," it, too, feared that accursed Buddhist energy.

What frustrated Ji Changfeng most now was wondering when his strength would reach a level that would allow him to cast this lecherous man out of his mind once and for all. Without that, he had no secrets left, and such a life was truly unbearable.

I paid no mind, and it wasn't until the early hours of the second day that the car slowly entered the territory of TZ City. Seeing the road signs for TZ, my eyes stung, and a complex, indescribable emotion welled up in my heart.

He was, by nature, an avatar of slaughter, and the God-Slaying Blood Blade was a divine artifact imbued with the aura of carnage—it was the perfect weapon for him.

Yet, none of these doubts mattered. What mattered was that Bai Zhitao had clearly expressed his intent to abandon the land, and as for whether or not to show mercy, Ouyang Qing was not the one who could decide.

The two had been chatting with great interest since the night began, and by the time they stopped their discussion, the sky outside was already beginning to brighten.

But looking at the middle-aged man across from me, Gan Louhuo, I could guarantee that tonight, Longjia Town would surely flow with blood.

Upon hearing the Dragon Clan Elder, Pan Zong and Jin Yin exchanged glances. Both knew of the Elder's strength and fell into a heavy silence.

"Commander Maple Leaf, what danger are we in?" Shen Aotian couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and confusion at the Commander's words. What chaos had their arrival—especially that of Dong Ling'er—brought to Maple Leaf Star?
