Chapter 73: The Martial Arts Alliance

These words had been bottled up in Lord Taishi’s heart for many years. As the Lord of Windlin City and the heir to the Taishi clan, he should, by all rights, have earned the recognition of the Golden Crow God. Yet, regrettably, this became a lifelong knot he could never untie—a regret that haunted him always.

“This company has nothing to do with you. Get out! Don’t come back to the villa. The rental flat you leased is still there, and that place suits you!” Fang Na’s tone was harsh and unyielding.

Louis’s expression darkened. With a swing of his sword, a surge of wild magic erupted, shattering the massive ice spike into dust.

Tonight would see the end of all business on the outskirts of the Black Dragon Territory. Afterward, they would advance on Greenleaf Town, where the Aisda family resided.

Duan Ru’s words made sense. The upper echelons had always wanted to capture Gao Fuyuan and Ma Xiaotian alive. Even if they knew the pair’s whereabouts, they wouldn’t inform Gao Peng, lest he kill them before they could act.

“Wait, don’t open it yet. Open it after you step inside the space.” The voice belonging to Xiao Lingxuan sounded in Su Feng’s mind.

Xia Qiuping had endured all sorts of insults, but when she heard her sister being cursed, her anger flared. She opened the door and shouted at Liu Shuqin, “Get out! Go far away! If you want to hurl insults, go shout on the main street—you can shout all day if you want!” With that, she slammed the door shut.

The enormous pincer was gone; its right forelimb had been severed, blue blood gushing from the stump.

Gao Peng hadn’t planned to meet after the call, but the message changed his mind. He only wanted to quietly tend to his flowers in one place, unwilling to be swept once more into bloodshed and turmoil.

Feng Ke’er, mourning her master’s death, finally found some solace. It was just as her master had told her before parting: the road ahead would be hard, but with the support of family, it wouldn’t be so painful.

She tilted her head back and spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering Wu Hao’s face. The blood seeped into his body through his torn wound.

Chu Xuan’s words made everyone’s expressions darken. In fact, when he mentioned “digitized bodies,” everyone had already guessed what he meant. Worlds of this type were always the most detestable, for no one enjoyed being reduced to mere ordinary people.

As the referee’s whistle sounded, the crowd erupted into excited cheers. The ball had gone in—Team Huaxia had seized the opportunity and scored a goal.

Because of Karp and even the dragon’s overwhelming power, the Devil Fruit’s force was forcibly suppressed, resulting in the birth of the twins, Luffy and Louis.

Thinking back to Luo Ziling’s earlier words—how precious the medicine given to Ling Haijun was—Li Lanying was even more grateful.

Now, facing the five great powers, who pressed him with the survival of Cloud Continent at stake, Du Qing realized he had no means to respond.

A glance down the sideline—Jinfeng was already charging forward. Without hesitation, Fang Zhuo used all his strength to kick the ball toward Jinfeng, then collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

If anyone dared to act against him while he treated Li Haiyang’s injuries, it would be tantamount to declaring hostility with Longteng.

The Alliance of Outer Sect Masters eventually alarmed An Linyuan, who was in seclusion refining pills. An Linyuan bypassed the sect’s elders and went straight to the Grand Elder.

She was happy, but she knew this was something she could not tell Rong Xiu. After spending so much time with him, Li Jingwen knew well that the crown prince was a man of boundless pride.

He was not as skilled as Shi Yao in managing complex relationships and strategy, but Li Changsheng did not require a counsellor—Jingni was enough.

“I don’t know. But right now, what we need to do is stop it. Even if I feel I can’t, I still have to try. This isn’t about whether it’s worth it or not—it’s everyone’s problem.” Captain America said from the sidelines.

Her slender waist was tied with a pale pink ribbon, slim enough for a single grasp. As she walked, the pale pink skirt fluttered lightly, swaying with grace.

In the taxi, Zhou Mingli brought it up himself. When school started, he planned to resign as principal. Xue Qin didn’t want to work at the kindergarten anymore either. They would both focus on caring for their eldest son until his departure. When the day truly came, they would be heartbroken, so he was planning a trip to Yunnan to ease their minds.

How could Su Mu be so sure Grandpa and Grandma Gu wouldn’t love her, or that she couldn’t marry Gu Yinan?

Xie Ying took her grandfather back to her brother’s rented room, leaving only Hu Baozhu and Xie Chong inside.

Anxious and uneasy, Cheng Sijin had already arrived at the entrance of the Cining Palace, where Nurse Qi was waiting outside.

“My loyal subject, I’m aware of the matter regarding the palace guards. The men will be released immediately.” The new emperor’s face was apologetic.

Gao Jun then removed the sign from the door. It read “Carriage Number Five,” and listed seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, and twenty—the four sleeping berths—along with their upper and lower bunk designations.

By now, Zhou Hongfa had finished his call, and Boss Zhao, who had collapsed on the floor, was being helped up.

The original government forces of the island nation had their territory taken over by the American military, with assistance from the Light Church. They occupied a fifth of the land, using the northern island as the dividing line.

“The Ancient Breathing Technique is a method for absorbing spiritual energy, which can greatly increase the amount that enters the body,” Meng Ruping nodded.

In fact, in the eyes of the capitalists, the potential for spectacle in the university league even exceeded that of the top-tier league.

Chen Chen’s opponent this time—the guy from Jiangda—might have an irritating way of speaking, but his skills with armored vehicles were truly solid.

“Don’t ask anything. Drink your tea and leave immediately. A big shot from Japan is coming today. They’re here to catch people like you.” Yang Tian refilled Mo Xiaosheng’s teacup.

He wanted to pierce a second time, which meant he had to extract the external piercing component—the fang—from the opponent’s vehicle.
