Hearing the other party’s words, Wanyan Liang was so furious that he felt as if his lungs would explode. As the ruler of the Jin Empire, second only to the emperor, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? With a wave of his hand, the surrounding guards received his command, and a rain of arrows immediately poured down on the enemy.Though the number of guards was fewer than a hundred, they were highly skilled in coordinated archery. Instead of releasing their arrows all at once, they divided into several groups, each delaying their shots by a single breath. By the time the last group had loosed their arrows, the earlier groups had already reloaded, forming a continuous cycle. This seamless coordination made it seem as if tens of thousands of arrows had been fired, rather than just a few dozen archers.“Ah!” Seeing the whistling rain of arrows, Huang Rong couldn’t help but cover her mouth and let out a soft gasp. Though she knew Song Qingshu was highly skilled, facing such a dense

Qiu Qianren was renowned across the world for his Iron Palm technique. In terms of palm strength, he was second only to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms of the Beggar Gang and the Prajna Palm of Shaolin. Though he had to engage the enemy in haste, he was still confident that a single strike would force his opponent back. By then, Western Poison Ouyang Feng should have arrived, and with the two of them joining forces, even if Wang Chongyang were to return from the dead, he would have no choice but to retreat.As their palms clashed, Qiu Qianren felt his strength dissipate as if it had vanished into thin air, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. His heart trembled with shock. His full-force strike had landed on empty space, and his own internal force rebounded, causing his chest to churn with turbulent blood and Qi.He hadn’t expected that despite his opponent’s fearsome momentum, their palm strike carried a formless force. This resulted in him sustaining internal injuries in an instan

Huang Rong cautiously opened her eyes, only to find that she had not fallen off the cliff. Instead, she was soaring steadily through the air. She was instantly stunned. “This… this…”“Do I suddenly seem much more heroic and impressive? Are you wondering how I did this?” Song Qingshu glanced at her smugly.Huang Rong had indeed intended to ask him, but after his teasing remark, she felt too embarrassed to do so. Thinking quickly, she asked a different question instead, “Who is Shan Rou?”Song Qingshu’s breath hitched, and he muttered in frustration, “Why don’t you ever play by the rules?”A sly glint flashed in Huang Rong’s lively eyes. “Judging by the name, it sounds like a woman. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Leader Zhou and the Ninth Princess about her?”“Go ahead and tell them,” Song Qingshu chuckled. “Just remember to mention that you’ve also become their sister.”“Shameless!” Huang Rong blushed and spat at him, but she wasn’t truly angry.Song Qingshu then turned to look back at Wa

The two figures departed, one after the other.Huang Yaoshi did not pursue them. He simply stood there, his expression dark, lost in his thoughts.“Father~” Huang Rong called out hesitantly.“Mm.” Huang Yaoshi responded absentmindedly. “You’re not hurt, are you?”“N-no…” Huang Rong quickly replied, and silence once again settled over them.Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere any longer, Huang Rong took the initiative to break the silence. “Father, why are you and Zhou Botong here?”Huang Yaoshi frowned slightly and answered indifferently, “I often roam the world. When I passed through Kaifeng, I heard that you and Jing’er were in danger, so I decided to come and take a look. On the way, I ran into Zhou Botong, and he insisted on tagging along. It just so happened that we ran into you…”Huang Rong’s face flushed red, and she averted her gaze. “Too bad that scoundrel got away.”“Oh?” Huang Yaoshi let out a noncommittal hum, looking at her thoughtfully.Under his gaze, Huang Rong felt

When Song Qingshu was taken back by the Jin soldiers from the abandoned temple, Huang Yaoshi was speaking to Zhou Botong, saying, “Old Imp, that mysterious man’s Qinggong may be impressive, but this time, he had a head start. If you two were to compete under the same conditions, he might not necessarily win against you.”Zhou Botong subconsciously nodded. “Old Heretic Huang, I didn’t expect you to have such keen insight and say something so profound. I thought about it carefully just now. That man’s short-distance speed is indeed faster than mine, but if we were to run for hundreds or even thousands of miles, his internal energy might not be able to sustain it. If I hadn’t been worried about you all waiting here and if I wasn’t in a hurry to find out about my sworn brother, I would have kept chasing him.” As he spoke, Zhou Botong scratched his head, his tone filled with regret.Huang Yaoshi chuckled. “If that’s the case, why don’t you find him and race again?”Zhou Botong’s face scrun
