Chapter 41: Shen Yanzhi (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes)

Chi Yu spent some time alone processing the fact that she had, in all likelihood, become a ghost.

However, she did not wallow in negativity for long; what was done was done, and feeling sorry for herself would not change the situation.

By the time Shen Yanzhi emerged from changing his clothes, Chi Yu had mostly shaken off her gloom. She glanced at him and, seeing him dressed in white sportswear, realized he was heading out for a workout.

Shen Yanzhi walked over and looked at the screen, which had returned to normal.

The Parma fans were in a frenzy, waving giant posters of Zhang Shujie and shouting his name at the top of their lungs.

Abate slammed his hand against the turf, cursed himself for a fool, and immediately scrambled to his feet to sprint back to the defensive line.

Zhang Yiming’s expression shifted once more. He knew the Beast King was not lying; if this were true, the strength of the Rofei Corporation would need to be reassessed. A single Beast King was already a headache, and if he were merely a semi-finished product, it meant the corporation’s trump cards would be terrifyingly powerful.

Trailing behind Wei Wuji were dozens of military officers, ranging from captains to lieutenants, all of whom were his trusted commanders.

Shen Mianfeng’s arms went numb, and he was secretly startled. "This man is truly remarkable; his protective inner energy is actually this potent." A cheer erupted from the crowd; seeing the strange man wounded, they no longer felt afraid.

In truth, the "Triple Flash" skill had significant flaws—it was a typical case of style over substance. It might be useful against mechanical beings, but in player-versus-player combat, no one used it.

Yet, although Wei Wuji truly did not want to fight, by the time he arrived outside the Tielin Department, his army had already formed an attack formation.

"Understood!" his subordinates replied in unison. Having regained their composure from the shock, they forcefully held back the members of the Five Great Families who were rushing forward in a blind, irrational rage.

Seeing Zhang Yiming risk his life for her sake filled Liu Xiaoxi with gratitude, but watching him bow his head to Caiba on her behalf left her feeling even more conflicted.

Furthermore, the recent rebellion by the Eldest Young Master had only driven the noble clans further into opposition against Wei Wuji.

Hu sensed the gloomy aura radiating from Yan Cen and, disliking it, let out a meow and tried to scramble away. However, Emperor Yongchen stroked the cat’s fur and placed it back into Yan Cen’s arms. Hu endured it for a moment before decisively leaping to the ground and running off.

The Qin camp was laid out in a unique configuration, ill-suited for a cavalry charge. Having lost their momentum, the Kushan cavalry could only rely on their height advantage to fight desperately.

Old Madam Xu’s face turned livid, but what Xu Shu had said was an indisputable fact, leaving her with no room for argument.

The Black Mountain Demon snorted coldly, his massive bone teeth expanding into a blood-red demonic light that soared into the unknown night sky.

Lying lazily in bed, Tang Jin marveled at the miraculous functions of Xingyue while simultaneously harboring many questions, which he began to discuss with it.

He then opened his arms to embrace Jiang Yu, who was approaching, exchanged a few lighthearted remarks, and only then reached out to shake Zhou Jin’s hand.

"The Great Elf Forest? Why go there?" Qing Wei asked, puzzled. Could it be that Helen was homesick?

The departing caravan was already far off, though some stragglers remained behind, anxiously inquiring about the situation and whispering uneasily to their companions.

The age at which Sang Ruo was reborn in the experimental body, combined with the age of that young man—did it happen to add up to forty-five?

The memories gradually faded, replaced by the faces of the soldiers on the walls of Huaxian, who were terrified yet forcing themselves to hold their ground, and the sounds of panicked cries from within the city.

The head constable smiled and stated the amount; ten strings of cash as a bribe was a significant sum, so he decided not to demand anything more from Zhao An.

Ten million kilometers away, the once-faint dying star suddenly erupted in a massive halo of light, blooming in space like a rose-colored flower, its immense energy shockwave reaching the very spot where we were located.
