Volume 1, Chapter 31: An Unexpected Ending

Su Li cried out, her body lunging forward instinctively as she tried to stop Du Rufeng. No matter what, she could not bear to see Jiang Mu get hurt!

It was too late! A smirk curled the corners of Du Rufeng’s mouth; his long sword was but half an inch from piercing Jiang Mu. Yet, at that very moment, Jiang Mu, who had been keeping his head bowed, suddenly looked up, a faint smile gracing his face.

The Li brothers remained as low-key and taciturn as ever. Upon hearing Chang Jianfeng’s words, they simply nodded in silent agreement, offering no further opinion.

However, it was clear that the three Beast Kings were at a loss regarding the open sea. Neither the Cat King nor the Dog King possessed Water-type Pokémon, and while the Rat King had an Azumarill, it was not suitable for riding. Thus, they all turned to Ye Hao with expressions of helpless resignation.

Such a person deserved to die ten thousand deaths. He was only acting in self-defense, ridding the world of evil, and avenging the innocent souls who had perished.

Izo was struck with sudden alarm. He hurriedly extended his front paws, digging his sharp claws into the wooden planks in a desperate attempt to break free from the chains.

Laughter and cheers filled Birch Port; this preemptive strike had saved Birch Town from a raid by sand beasts.

The corners of Harbor Princess’s mouth twitched, and she silently stepped aside, clearing the path for Menrou.

"Empoleon, after the hail, use Blizzard." The two Sea Emperors did not even offer a greeting upon arrival; they immediately issued orders to their Pokémon.

The test results revealed little, as the operators and difficulty coefficients varied, but the mere fact that they had performed without error forced him to regard them with newfound seriousness.

Upon opening her eyes and seeing Adam, she let out a startled cry and immediately squeezed them shut, curling into a ball in the corner, desperate to hide herself from his sight.

In the treasure room, the Third Raikage spoke, "It must be tonight. Seal the Eight-Tails into Bee’s body." A agreed, but as he gazed at the Amber Purifying Pot before him, his thoughts drifted to Fukai’s words.

Qi Nan couldn't help but stick out her tongue. The Sixth Concubine, Luo Yi, was no simple character; she feared that the two of them would have no shortage of quarrels inside the carriage. Then again, if one thought about it, which of the concubines in the household—save for Yue Rong, who hadn't appeared today—was truly easy to deal with? Even Yue Rong was only quiet on the surface; deep down, she harbored her own schemes.

The Sword Shinobi looked at the many martial artists surrounding him, realizing with a jolt that his cover had been blown. He trembled in terror, but Su Meng-han held him fast; unable to channel his inner cultivation, he could not even employ his stealth techniques.

Imperial Physician Pin looked deep into Yu Suo’s eyes. At this point, Yu Suo could only nod, having nothing left to say.

Seeing his son in such a state, Duke Jinyang had not expected his feelings to run so deep. Moreover, he could not bear to truly banish his son. Although he was now convinced that Bi Yaoguang was a femme fatale who brought nothing but ruin, he was unwilling to sacrifice his son for it.

"Yu Qiu, is there something you need of me?" The man walked slowly from the dais toward Yu Qiu.

The video content was incredibly graphic. The filmer had likely used a flying drone, capturing the scene from every angle with no blind spots; some of the close-ups were truly brutal. A normal person would surely have been unable to stomach it, but Kou Bin watched with keen interest, finding it thoroughly entertaining.

Naruto transformed into his Nine-Tails state, a golden fox-like aura enveloping his form. The fox and the wood dragon collided with a thunderous impact, instantly devolving into a battle of monsters. The wood dragon coiled around the fox layer by layer, the two colossal beings entangled in a savage struggle.

Her haste proved her undoing. With a faint *rip*, Qi Nan felt her movement restricted. Looking back, she realized with horror that her dress had snagged on a jagged piece of the artificial rockery.

Years ago, when Yuzi was murdered in Ilia, the Black Pearl incident erupted. The Marquis and Marchioness of Frederick had been on the Black Pearl searching for Yuzi, but fortunately, the Marquis possessed a private landing craft. Upon realizing that the situation on the Black Pearl planet was spiraling out of control, the couple immediately took flight, hovering in space to await news.
