Chapter 371: A Bit Too Cautious

All along the way, Bai Lin scanned the rear continuously with his terminal, ensuring no enemies were in pursuit.

"The rear is safe for now!"

Bai Lin reported in a low voice.

"No signs of the Zerg catching up!"

"Don't lower your guard!"

Li Changan did not relax his vigilance.

"These enhanced Zerg do not act alone; there might be other individuals nearby!"

"Brother Changan, aren't you being a bit too cautious?"

Luo Zheng threw caution to the wind; with such a rare opportunity, and risking the danger of a heavy fall, he thrust the nail in his hand toward the shadow's eye socket just as before. Feeling the nail pierce into something, he was instantly overjoyed. The strength in his hand did not diminish as his body slammed against the ground with a thud, a wave of intense agony washing over him.

Su Zhe had been unaware of this plan before, but after discovering No. 1's true identity and connecting the events before and after, he knew that this deception was actually a smokescreen laid by No. 1.

"Due to the player's sudden realization during the recent combat, the 'Desperate Gamble' skill level has increased. New skill name: Meteor Slash."

Hearing the cries of "The Chancellor has gone nowhere, he is watching over us!" rise louder and higher, the morale of the Hebei army surged once more. Ximen Qing waved his hand and said, "Sound the retreat!" He cherished his military strength; head-on clashes were to be avoided if not absolutely necessary.

"You, you, you! You slapped my backside!" Ning Yuruo really had not expected Xiao Yi to actually strike, and for a moment, she was at a loss for how to condemn him.

But no matter what, any cultivator capable of becoming a regional Prefect or Commander was the absolute cream of the crop among the peak Earth-rank cultivators of that land.

The plan proceeded methodically according to Ling's vision; the Akatsuki organization was capturing the Tailed Beasts, while Ling awaited Madara's descent.

As noon approached, the clearing gongs resonated within the palace gates, signaling the dismissal of the hundred officials. The imperial guard emerged a step ahead, dispersing the commoners who blocked the gates. Then, official sedan chairs emerged one after another. Forced far away, the commoners could only strain their necks to watch, unable to distinguish who was who.

The police examined everyone's work credentials and learned they were from the Counter-Terrorism General Headquarters, which was currently at the height of its power. Coupled with the explanation that those killed were terrorists, they asked no further questions and began helping to clean up the aftermath. The brothers from the Intelligence Department quickly left the scene with the corpses, rushing madly toward the Counter-Terrorism Headquarters Command Center.

After spending time together over this period, Chunlan had come to admire Luo Feng immensely. Hearing his words, she nodded, yet could not suppress the anger in her heart, turning back to glare fiercely at the young swordsman.

I believe everyone knows what the term 'leukorrhea' refers to, so no further explanation is needed here.

"You silly egg, I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself when you see her later," Yanzhi replied with certainty.

At this critical juncture, Gongshu Monan managed to rush back. It turned out that after pursuing for a short while, he felt something was amiss, for he had never had any grievances with the Maishan sect, so why would they suddenly launch an attack? Furthermore, they were only surrounding his right hand. Thus, he had hurried back in a rush, just in time to clash with Mo Chi as he was sealing the "truth."

"Sister Yun, listen to me, things aren't the way you think they are," Ye Bufan hastily gave chase to explain.

But no matter what was said, on the battlefield, if every soldier wore a bulletproof vest, it would certainly offer some measure of protection.

He chose not to fly, but instead operated his Breath-Concealing Technique, shuttling between the towering mountains. Sure enough, after flying swiftly for just a quarter of an hour, he saw a large contingent of Wu clan members from the Gonggong tribe flying from the direction of Mount Buzhou City, numbering in the hundreds, and not a single one among them was weak.

Qin Hao's words brought a measure of peace to the minds of many ordinary soldiers, but those generals who were nearly equal in rank to Qin Hao mostly sneered in their hearts—holding out, it would be a miracle if they could actually hold out.

"Yang Yao, are you alright?" While Yang Yao was still lost in bewilderment, Liu Yantong walked into the ward alongside Na Yongxin, carrying a bouquet of fresh flowers.
