628 Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl
Tian Zhirui murmured to herself, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes—anger and a hint of regret.
I couldn't help but think of my older sister, that stunningly beautiful and elegant woman, and a strange sense of longing welled up in my heart.
His eyes darted around, a complex thought running through him. He wondered, 'How did that person from the previous dynasty find out about this? Or did my sister reveal it herself? Otherwise, her fate wouldn't be unknown now!'
With a soft sigh, I felt a trace of sweat on my body, and with a gentle wave of my hand, the sweat instantly disappeared!
Feeling the affection of his disciple nestled in his arms, he knew in his heart that if his special aura of true energy were exposed, it would surely bring countless troubles.
How many people would stop at nothing to cultivate secret techniques and pursue immense power? If such healing energy could restore one's health after a failed breakthrough, that would be a wonderful thing.
If those with ulterior motives were to learn Fang Qingxue's secret, it would likely lead to endless pursuit, chance encounters, and attempts to seize her.
'This matter must be kept secret. Qingxue must not reveal it to anyone,' Tian Zhirui made up her mind, a resolute glint in her eyes.
I couldn't help but recall my older sister's past experiences!
"A thousand-mile journey is bound by a single thread; for those who are truly devoted, the distance is probably more than just a thousand miles." Tian Zhirui sighed inwardly. Some destinies may be preordained, but some people require one to protect them.
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his heart was filled with unwavering resolve. If he were to encounter those cunning and malicious individuals again, he would show no mercy and would also eliminate the forces behind them to prevent future troubles.
He looked at Fang Qingxue deeply, his eyes filled with love and determination, and gently hugged her. Then he turned around and took Fang Qingxue to wash up.
With a wave of his hand, the space behind him instantly returned to normal, with only occasional lightning strike marks on the ground, as if indicating that a battle had just ended there.
Tian Zhirui waved her hand, as elegant and composed as a god who controls heaven and earth.
The space behind her, which had just been filled with thunder and lightning, and where sand and stones flew and the ground and environment resembled a mudslide, was now as smooth as a mirror, restored to its original state.
Only the few streaks of lightning left on the ground, like a magnificent painting of lightning and true energy intertwined, silently tell the story of the thrilling life-or-death battle that had just taken place here.
Elder Yue relayed Sect Leader Tong's orders, which instantly caused a huge sensation!
The lower-level disciples knew that these sect leader positions had little to do with them, and all they could think about was that their resources would be reduced again, so they dared not speak out in anger.
A subtle ripple stirred in the elders' hearts, their eyes gleaming as if they saw the alluring temptation of the sect leader's position. The position of sect leader was not merely a symbol of power, but also a yearning for and the possibility of immortality.
The more one learns about the path of cultivation, the more one realizes that true strength is the most reliable guarantee. Compared to the elusive and uncertain methods of worshipping evil gods, cultivating oneself and improving one's strength is a much more secure path.
Sacrificing to evil gods is a last resort, and if one is injured, it is not impossible for those evil gods to spy on or even control one.
The power and extended lifespan bestowed by evil gods are always a double-edged sword!
Moreover, elderly powerhouses are also objects of great concern to the sect. It's fine if they don't leave the sect, but if their lifespan is nearing its end, leaving the sect is not something they can do casually.
Those who haven't reached the Martial King level might not care much, but the reasons behind this are worth pondering, since the fear of mortals is also a source of power.
In the heart of Yansha State, at the mine, Eagle Brother and the other overseers waited anxiously.
Their dark faces were filled with tension and unease. The earth-shattering sound and the firelight, which illuminated the surrounding area for dozens of miles, were visible to them.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, 'Could the Fang family have lost? Impossible, how could the Fang family have lost!'
For a moment, everyone fell silent, as if something important was about to happen.
Even the miners who quietly rose up to observe the situation in the work shed were scolded and whipped!
Eagle, as the leader of this group of supervisors, was even more cautious at this moment.
Just as Xiao Gu humbly faced him, he now stood even more humbly behind the two men, brimming with vitality, reeking of alcohol, and still lingering from the smell of barbecue, daring not to slacken in the slightest.
The two mine managers had clearly just finished a hearty meal, their bodies still reeking of the strong aroma of alcohol and roasted meat, as well as the strong scent of rouge from women.
Seeing that the two men were also disheveled, Eagle couldn't help but think of the woman the mine manager had brought back, who was as beautiful as the top courtesan in the brothel, and not much less so.
He couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes filled with envy. Night after night of revelry and tireless toil were things that people like him could never enjoy.
His thirst for power intensified, and he thought to himself, 'Once I break through, I'll be treated like a butler! Then, I'll definitely bring back two, no, three top courtesans to take care of my every need!'
Knowing the temperaments of these two men, who were not only trusted by their master but also powerful and backed by complex forces, he knew that if he offended them, his good days would be over and he might even lose his life.
Therefore, he dared not be negligent in the slightest and could only stand respectfully to the side, waiting for their instructions.
Seeing how cautious Brother Eagle was, the other supervisors dared not slack off in the slightest. They all knew how ruthless these two were; killing people was as easy as killing chickens, and that was no joke.
They can cleave a boulder half a foot thick in two with a single stroke; that's not something they can afford to mess with!
Cruel, greedy, and lustful, he would kill many disobedient people with a single blow in order to increase mineral production.
Everyone immediately fell silent, afraid of offending these two important figures.
Zhang Dazhuang took the lead, rushing into the mine like a meteor. His tall and imposing figure and fierce momentum were like Mount Tai moving horizontally, bringing with them the fear of a landslide.
With sharp eyes, he could see the brightly lit area from afar, and his gaze tightened as he stared intently at the overseers below, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve.
"The foreman shall die!" he sneered.
True energy flowed through his entire body, and the greatsword in his hand instantly hummed, as if it could also sense its master's anger and determination.
Zhang Dazhuang swung his sword fiercely, and a dazzling blade of light ripped through the sky, carrying the force of thunder, heading straight for the overseers below.
With a single slash, the blade shone with immense power, roaring like dragons and tigers, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound that sent chills down one's spine.
Upon seeing this, the foremen were terrified. They were so frightened that they wet their pants. In a daze, they involuntarily retreated. As they retreated, their minds were shattered, and they felt as if they had lost control of their bladder and bowels. Suddenly, they felt a little lightheaded!
