Chapter 165: It Won’t Be That Easy

Qu Jing took a step back and stood behind Jian Zhengyang, who immediately understood her meaning. He shielded Qu Jing behind him and asked Lu Xu, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" Lu Xu sneered at him. "Why don’t you ask her what I am to her?"

He was about to...

"Tch, do you think you’re some kind of ambushing butler?" Celia stomped her foot and went back to continue corrupting the innocent young master’s thoughts.

Every “Reincarnation Gate” under his jurisdiction was heavily guarded. No matter how many new ghosts arrived, they were all assimilated and assigned throughout the territory according to their strength.

Li Hengxuan shouted loudly, and suddenly, Emperor Dragon dove down sharply, merging with him and turning into a golden streak flying outward.

Sandy looked at the numerous magicians and knights taking to the sky. The Amber Empire’s strength was evident; every flying magician and knight was formidable.

“Of course, it’s just a demon god. What’s so impossible to surpass about that?” The black-furred monkey appeared even more arrogant.

In no time, all the cavalry under Zuo Liangyu were dismounted. The pursuing cavalry continued chasing on horseback, capturing the fleeing warhorses, then leisurely led them back toward the city walls.

With a loud crack, the sword barrier finally gave an unbearable roar. Fourteen flying swords were shattered by a single slash and scattered. The sea of blood behind Wang Hu suddenly receded, absorbed directly by the bone knife in his hand. A dazzling crimson light burst forth from the bone knife as he lifted it again and slashed toward two terrified sword attendants ahead.

Wang Lun and his men were knocking on the door in front of Zhao Gai’s manor, but the gate remained tightly shut with no one answering. He paced anxiously.

However, Hua Kingdom showed no intention of telling them anything, continually evading and refusing to reveal anything.

To put it plainly, the improvement meant that the blue dragon before them had only recently reached adulthood by estimation. Once it transformed, it could be subdued and beaten within three moves, but this body made that somewhat difficult.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible! You clearly unleashed five tornadoes; how can you be at the Yuan Master realm?” someone shouted frantically, already driven to madness by He Fang’s methods.

Although Zhuo Junlin harbored some doubts, he didn’t voice them. Since he had asked him to come along, there had to be a reason. Sometimes, between the wise, many words are unnecessary.

Original Yingyi was still studying at the Eternal Branch Hall, and since Shui Wu Yi had shown goodwill, Jun Mo would not refuse; in fact, he hoped for many more such gestures.

Ruo Xi shook her head and then turned to leave. Luo Shengrui watched her departing figure, wanting to act decisively, yet his steps would not stop; he closely followed behind her.

Fortunately, Lü Bu had only climbed a few steps. Helpless, he leapt toward the ground. Landing, fearing another arrow storm, he dared not linger and quickly mounted the Red Hare horse, retreating backward.

Xue Ru—jealousy, damn it. How could he be jealous? But during all that had just happened, he truly hadn’t considered Xue Ru. Would she think he was jealous?

Dong Zhuo had known about this matter for a long time but refused to dispatch troops. Now his army was stationed in Luoyang. If he pulled them back to Xiliang, Luoyang would be left vulnerable, and his position would be unstable. So he kept the matter hidden. Dong Zhuo glared fiercely at Wang Yun, wondering what had gotten into him today.

But with the current urgency of battle, Xu Rong could spare no time for other thoughts and could only strive to reorganize the troops.

Three days after the imperial edict was issued, the Luoyang emperor vanished without a trace. Everyone was puzzled, but only Prime Minister Feng and the new emperor understood.
