Chapter 138: The Usual Rules

"Xiao Tong, how should we deal with him?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Jiang Butong squatted down and patted Li Yukui on the cheek.

"Boss Li, didn't I give you a chance?"

"Yes... yes... I was blind... Brother, please spare me... I... I promise I will never do it again..."

Suddenly, the half-finished idol was immediately covered by a faint glow, rendering it as if it were a divine object. By the time the light dissipated, the once-vague idol seemed as though it had existed for countless years; its surface was perfectly smooth, faintly radiating an aura of oppression.

"Since it’s possible to overcome the problem of life being threatened, why did you need me to obtain the files from the Supernatural Bureau?" Xia Liu asked, looking somewhat puzzled.

Kabuto, meanwhile, cut off his own vision, relying solely on the sensory capabilities of Sage Mode to act.

Just as depicted in "Journey to the West," even a dignified Mountain Deity ends up bullied by the local demon king, treated like a pushover who can be manipulated at will.

As the weather between heaven and earth gradually cleared, all the cultivators were searching for the two figures on the battlefield.

Mao Yang’s Adam’s apple bobbed; he wanted to speak, but found his throat constricted, pouring all his remaining strength into that broken sword.

The fact that her pants were torn was known only to Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao. She immediately suspected that Chu Mengyao must have leaked the secret; otherwise, Chu Biyao could not have known. Observing the intimate relationship between the two sisters, she remained calm—it was perfectly normal for sisters to share everything.

Zhang Yifan frowned. This item was priced at 1.2 million credit points, but relatively speaking, its value for money was not high.

Li Zhiming stared at Jackson for a long time, then cast a mocking glance at Wester, who was escorting Peter and the old man with yellow hair out, before leading his men away.

The old beggar lay casually on the street, watching the people coming and going from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. They were all different, yet strangely consistent: when they arrived, their eyes were bright and their spirits high; when they left, their eyes were bloodshot, their legs were shaking, they reeked of alcohol, and they left cursing.

The tall, thin Dragon Clan Venerable and the burly Beast Clan Venerable now appeared clad in powerful armor, manifested from the spectral projections of their ancestors—one lithe and majestic, the other imposing and domineering.

The frightened wailing gradually ceased, for Heifu was promising that after this battle, all debts could be repaid. This battle would not last long; the soldiers' honor-guard had said the Qin army only dared to attack while the ground was frozen, and once the ice melted, they would shrink back into their holes like rats. December, January, February—by February at the latest, the war would end, and there would be money then.

"Those who bully others will always be bullied in return. Enough talk. Hand over ten intermediate demon cores. I will not say this a third time. Turning you into corpses might be a better solution," Ye Xiu said coldly, clutching his Ghost Dao sword.

Creating a magic talisman might look like simply drawing a formation on paper, but the slightest oversight could ruin it. Moreover, controlling vital energy with such precision is incredibly draining.

The Abyss Sovereign, with his charred black exterior, looked somewhat solemn as he watched the golden power of law transform into the likeness of Lin Yunxi, standing side-by-side with the frail soul of the Thunder Ember.

"Do you really think I would hand over the authority of the Dawn Pillar to them? Rest assured! I will not go soft on those who seek to destroy our peaceful world." As he said this, a dangerous, eerie glint flickered beneath Ambrio’s smiling expression.

We, the people of the Non-Nation, love the world and love peace, but that does not mean we are incapable of anger or incapable of waging war. We have the ability to defend our country, and we have the ability to punish those nations that show us disrespect.
