355: Chapter 355 The First Battle of the Wheel of Blood: Xiao Tian Died?

"Dong—!!!"

With a dull drumbeat that seemed capable of shattering one's heart,

the second round of Beast's Cage—the Bloody Gauntlet—officially raised its curtains.

Since the White Eagle Empire, as the host, possessed certain small privileges, they, who were originally the first group to compete, were moved to the last group.

Meanwhile, the match between the Great Xia Federation and the Sakura Nation, which was originally the last group, was instead moved up to the opening match!

However, it didn't matter.

The Saints who learned of the status of the Heavenly Monk and Guo Dalu immediately were shocked beyond measure; they could not imagine how the Heavenly Monk's disadvantage against Guo Dalu could be so significant.

Li Shen tapped the glass, making a "clink-clink-clink" sound. The sound was very crisp, lacking the heavier tone of modern glass, which also indicated that the quality of these glass panes was still insufficient.

At the very moment Su Yu forced back Number Two with a sword strike, Number Four's toes tapped the ground repeatedly, like a dragonfly skimming the water. With a few leaps, they retreated into the distance.

Usually, Lieren performed better than Fengren in many aspects, and even fathered Zuoren, the only male of the third generation. If not for the imperial rules, the Emperor would have long ago made Lieren the Crown Prince.

"It's fine, as long as you haven't forgotten me, your big brother. Has your health improved during this time?" Li Shen said quickly, knowing what she wanted to say—it was nothing more than worrying that he felt she had become estranged from him.

Historically, after the fall of the Zhi Clan, the clan members fled to the State of Qin. If anyone said the State of Qin had no ulterior motives, no one would believe it, because following that was the Hundred-Year Battle of Hexi between Qin and Wei.

Although there are many flaws, many inadequacies, and many tropes that are simply unwatchable now, to be able to persist in writing a complete story without giving up halfway, I think is already quite good.

"Although it might be too late to ask now, Utaha, you should have requested leave from the university, right?" Natsume Yu looked sideways at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting next to him.

Sonoda Umi, who was walking alongside, didn't speak at this moment, but her ears were slightly perked, clearly listening to the conversation here.

"Damn it, is it really that funny?" Yao Muchen heard the piercing laughter around him. As his body dropped to the final layer of the jade ladder, he reached out and grabbed the scalding ladder, his body swaying violently beneath it, appearing to be in danger of falling at any moment.

The four others besides Zhang Liang looked enviously at Wang Yue; being able to enter Jianyang Peak to cultivate was naturally the best possible outcome.

"Yuan Qianwan!! Where did you take Jingjing last night?" A suppressed, roaring voice came from the other side, causing a certain deity, who wasn't fully awake yet, to furrow her brows.

Li San walked into Xixi Bar without hesitation. Thinking about how this undercover mission was taking place in such a setting was truly not optimistic, but his beloved girl was inside, and he had to rescue her from the depths of misery.

Nan Changqing naturally understood the look in Qing Yue's eyes, and with a wave of his sleeve, all the fireballs in the barrier vanished. Then, the barrier itself disappeared.

"I didn't expect this Taoist to have such ability!" The White Civet Cat also grinned amidst the continuous booming, and its prejudice against the Crow Daoist lessened significantly.

The butler and two old servants came up carrying two chests. When they opened them, there was a glistening expanse of silver inside.

"How about I treat? Right now." Long Xi pulled the quilt over Zhiyin and told Lihuang to watch over her. The three of them, grandfather and grandchildren, went downstairs.

The next day, Long Hongyan and her husband Baozi got up particularly early. Afa heard the sounds of activity outside and, unable to sleep, quickly got out of bed, dressing Biaozai and waking him up in the process.

"No need." The handsome young man walking at the very front waved his hand. His cold eyes swept over the crowd with majesty as he strode forward, radiating a sharp, oppressive pressure.
