Chapter 46: What an Unlucky Man, Killed by a Raw Crystal Falling on Him

The public bidding event was set to last three days, so Zhao Chen’s focus was hardly on selecting jade raw material. Instead, he aimed to absorb as much jade energy as possible to further strengthen his physical constitution. Collecting raw jade inevitably involved contact with Burmese tribesmen, whose danger far exceeded that of other industries. At present, Zhao Chen already possessed assets worth tens of millions, along with a villa valued in the tens of millions. Even if he chose to live leisurely from now on, he would have enough to last a long time. Therefore, only by continuously enhancing his body could he secure a sufficient sense of safety.

Not far from Zhao Chen stood a massive jade boulder. Angnai Wen, feeling frustrated, called Boss Wang: “Boss Wang...”

Frustration and confusion intertwined on Meng Ke’s face, forming a cold and piercing expression. His resolute and sharply defined features became all the more profound and intimidating.

After an unknown amount of time, Ka Xiu gradually regained consciousness. He woke because an unbearable itch spread all over his body. Having been unconscious for who knew how long, Ka Xiu felt as if ants were crawling everywhere, tormenting him with maddening itching that forced him out of his coma.

Meanwhile, the audience below was immersed in heated discussion. So far, no one could name or trace the origin of this object.

Of course, succumbing to demonic influence had its downsides. Prolonged exposure to demonic energy gradually chilled one’s mind and spirit, turning them cold and ruthless.

“Lushan Ascending Dragon Overlord!” Zilong didn’t even speak but unleashed a powerful move that wiped out all enemies.

“Xue’er, I know you came to see me again yesterday. Thank you!” Qing Ge ignored Chen Hao and shouted loudly.

The so-called Ghost Cave was originally a stronghold once occupied by the Demon King who ruled the Ghost City. There was nothing special about it itself, only that it was a base left behind by the Demon King and connected directly to the city center, which made it uniquely significant.

“You’re too skinny, how can you be roast pork?” Zhen joked, making Mu Xing quite displeased.

Sure enough, after everyone rested, Ka Xiu noticed that they all sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating and resting like ascetic monks—a typical traditional demon hunter’s discipline.

Although Zixia Skill was famed for recovery and healing, it was undoubtedly somewhat inferior to the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Yang Linglan approached the spot where the big tree once stood, threw down a formation plate, sealed the weak points of the restriction, and then set up a formation to conceal the area. She then swiftly slipped beneath the seal.

Her chapped lips were gently parted by a pair of warm hands. Seeing the familiar face before her, she almost doubted she had long since died and that everything around her was just an illusion her soul saw before departing her body.

The imperial physicians knelt trembling with fear. After a long silence, Song Zhilan finally stepped forward, his gaze settling on the still unconscious, handsome face.

As Puyang Qianyang barely caught sight of Xianyang Palace, the Underworld Guards informed him that the Seven Stars had already launched their attack. Without a moment’s hesitation, he turned and rushed back like the wind, abandoning any thought of court matters.

He disdainfully glanced at her. How foolish—didn’t she realize the empress’s intent? Was the empress seriously trying to infuriate someone to death out of boredom?

The young man turned his head, glanced lightly at the three of them, then opened a severely rusted alloy door.

“Consort has arrived.” A eunuch’s voice came from the entrance. Hearing this, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

Feng Hua, about to stand, froze halfway in a half-squat. She had planned to move around tonight, but now her path was blocked.

Upon hearing his words, the lieutenant instinctively looked up to speak but met the serious gaze of the marshal. In the end, he merely glanced at a corner of the room, nodded silently, and said nothing.

Simu Bei: ...Buy your toys and come back? The wedding will be over by then! Can this guy’s intelligence get any lower?

What was maddening was that she kept rubbing her chest against his arm. Though her breasts were small, her delicate face and pouty red lips made it impossible for Ye Haochuan, no matter how virtuous, to remain indifferent.

Before the fight even began, Wang Chen looked at his opponent with disdain and waved dismissively—a blatant provocation. Moreover, there were many onlookers, not only from the Luo family but also other factions. Naturally, Luo Feng could not maintain his composure and immediately charged straight at Wang Chen.

The two untied Qiuxuan’s bonds, and he immediately ran behind Dabu Shuiyun, hiding.

Suddenly, Liu Tian rapidly retreated, his face frozen in horror. His sword and shield had dissolved, and the golden sandball burst through his defenses, still flying toward him.

With crucial blood ties and kinship to these people, these soldiers’ longing for the Murong clan was a problem he had to confront and resolve.

Li Yang had originally thought he would be killed instantly by the Black Lightning, but unexpectedly, he heard a muffled groan—a faint sound born from trying desperately to endure excruciating pain.

During the Western Han dynasty, crossbow technology advanced significantly. By the Eastern Han, the design was even more ingenious, and most arrows shot from crossbows were poisoned. Therefore, when Wuliji’s crossbow arrow struck Ba’er, it ended his life instantly.

Moreover, the reason the Upper雕鸠司 chose this location was deliberate—he was certain Wang Chen would lose and wanted to embarrass him publicly.

The fifth layer had fewer people than the fourth, so Liu Tian executed a ruthless massacre, sweeping away monsters as he went.

As the North Goryeo army advanced deeper southward, the number of corpses piled up, towns were devastated more severely, and battles grew fiercer. The American coalition’s resistance became frequent, and North Goryeo casualties increased. Even Hou Zhenshan, born with divine strength, could not withstand the prolonged excessive depletion of his true energy.

She knew that once this gathering ended, he would inevitably become the supreme figure. She wondered if she would still have the confidence to stand alongside him then.
