Chapter 129: The Struggle of the Encirclement

The azure light reaching toward the heavens persisted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before slowly beginning to wane.

The majestic pressure that had stirred the winds and clouds receded like a tide, yet the heavy atmosphere within the Valley of Sword Steles did not ease; instead, it tightened to its absolute limit.

The moment the pillar of light vanished entirely, Bai Yueying, who had been suspended in the air, descended slowly to the ground. The azure sword mark on her forehead faded away, and as she opened her eyes, countless fragmented sword shadows seemed to flash through them. Her aura remained ethereal and unpredictable.

For the moment, Han Lin could only pin his hopes on Meng Tianzhi, or rather, on the True Spirit Map of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"That is exactly why I must seize this time to enjoy myself; once the war begins, things will become quite tense," I replied dismissively, my tone sounding much like students in their final days of vacation.

"Is it over now? Have we succeeded?" Feng Bufan asked Xue Mengyao nervously.

Many waited to witness Chu Nian’s masterful techniques, while others were unwilling to see another monstrous genius emerge in the Western Tribe, hoping instead to see how such a talent might fall into the depths and fail to climb out.

After landing in the courtyard, Feng Bufan immediately returned to his room. Although he had survived the lightning tribulation, his body had suffered severe damage during his first encounter with it. Compounded by the exertion of manipulating the lightning dragon to shatter the thunderclouds, he was now utterly exhausted and extremely weak.

Han Lin tossed Liu Ang aside with a casual flick of his hand. The people in the pill shop were terrified and rushed over to check if Liu Ang was injured. Han Lin noticed that Liu Xu, who had previously been on good terms with him, was now looking at him with panicked eyes.

She discovered that she had fallen into a crystal-like palace. The ground was made of super-thick ice, the walls were of ice crystal, and the dozens-of-meters-high ceiling, which had closed off at some point, had become a ceiling of vast crystallized formations.

Huang Haotian clenched his fists, struggling to restrain himself from striking Chu Nian. He cast a cold look at him before rushing away frantically.

When Pei Youyou saw that Lan Ke'er was holding the Xuan Bao, she hurriedly grabbed the latter’s arm, terrified that Lan Ke'er might kill Chu Nian in a fit of rage.

Han Lin touched the finger bone, which felt as warm and smooth as jade, his thoughts wandering. Did his father, Han Banshan, know about this matter?

This was the best way to slay Chen Jing. In the eyes of Master Zhaoxian, Chen Jing’s swordsmanship had already reached the level of law; if they were to duel with swords alone, he would be unable to defeat him for some time. The only way was to exert overwhelming magic power, leaving him no room to dodge or maneuver.

"You lot keep watch here; I’m going outside to take a look." Just as Yuan Xing was hiding, a voice reached his ears from not far away.

A month’s time in the inner realm would equate to a little over a day in the outside world. Chu Tianyu had to find a way to carve out a full day for himself.

Su Zimo carried two large bags out of the supermarket. Gazing at the descending veil of night, he identified his direction and set off on foot.

"I’ve worried you all; are you doing well during this time?" Zheng Ji exhaled softly. The feeling of being cared for was truly wonderful.

As the sound faded, a massive wave surged, and when he reappeared, he was already in the waters not far below the Temple of the River God.

"It’s a deal!" Long Tianwei did not hesitate. Faced with such inferior wine, if he were to lose, it would truly be a laughingstock.

"Reporting to the leader, the biological bomb has been successfully defused," one of the doctors suddenly said, saluting toward the window.

After completing this series of movements, Yuan Xing did not pause. He deftly withdrew his dagger, spun his body with extreme speed, and engaged the next enemy.

Before long, Ximen Ce chuckled, toyed with the object in his hand, and tried to hook it onto his ear.

The damaged Xuantian Mirror had mediocre power and could be easily manipulated by Ye Haochuan. However, this complete Xuantian Mirror was a super magical artifact no less formidable than the Divine Edge Halberd.
