Chapter 23: Driving the Wolf Pack to the Precipice

"Perhaps we could utilize that cliff to hunt the wolf pack," Lin Xing suggested.

"How exactly?" Zhao Renyi asked curiously.

"Once the pack arrives, I will shoot the alpha first, then we will drive the remaining wolves toward the edge of the cliff. We'll force them to jump to their deaths, then climb down to collect the carcasses..."

"It’s highly likely! Perhaps the more severely a soul is injured, the more pronounced the effect of the Soul Stone becomes," Xu Kuotian said with uncertainty, though he grew increasingly convinced that his hypothesis was quite logical.

Of course she could. In her past life, to defend herself, she had diligently practiced taekwondo for five or six years; dealing with a thug or two was effortless. Otherwise, she would never have dared to rashly rescue those two young women just now.

Lin Kai rolled over, pinning his knee onto the monster’s stomach. His face was filled with surging rage. With his right hand encased in the [Ghoul Gauntlet], he clenched his fist and struck down with brute force, shattering the monster's sternum with the very first blow.

Bian Siniang nodded, and the two walked away side by side without looking back at Liu Fangshi.

The Mongol soldiers were indeed formidable, but even the strongest men needed rest. Days of marching had exhausted them to the limit. Furthermore, having received word that an ambush was planned for tomorrow night, the soldiers cherished their rest tonight and slept exceptionally soundly.

"The Great General commands the empire's military campaigns; yet you sit here in the court, peering at the sky from the bottom of a well. What use is there for the nation to maintain a Great General like you?" Liu Fan challenged aggressively.

Zhao Cuixia felt that, at the very least, even if Li Erlong was a naive novice with no experience, if she slept with him, she would absolutely be satisfied from the inside out, because that thing of his was simply too large.

After carefully deboning and skinning the boar, the farmer used a wood-chopping knife to separate the fat into a bag, which he gave to Awang to carry back, as it would be incredibly fragrant for stir-frying.

Wang Zhongtian kept moving, his knees shifting as he vied for position. The young man frowned; Taoist training emphasized internal energy cultivation, and since Feng Wuji was still young, the gap in their skills was becoming apparent.

So, don't let the fact that it was a godparent relationship fool you; the money to be spent was not a penny less—perhaps even more than what one's own birth parents would spend.

Shi Jiu, however, was unwilling to give her any chance to waste time. He looked at the police who had just arrived...

*Phew.* Mu Yunyi exhaled, looking at the large crater where she had been standing just moments before, now smashed by the gorilla-like beast.

Fushanyijing left the habitual thief outside and called Nakamoto Daichuang in. After detailed questioning, he confirmed that the thief’s behavior at the time had been no different from usual.

Yang Wannian then noticed that this guy seemed to be carrying another iron pot, and it appeared to be much larger than the previous one.

Thinking of these things, Manager Tong felt his anger flare up; once he returned, he would properly discipline his wife.

In his floating armor state, Naki was sent flying by a single punch. Wang Zhe was at 100% power output.

With that one punch, the heaven and earth trembled. The falling debris, descending at high speed, suddenly encountered an invisible barrier and hung suspended in mid-air.

Actually, this was not really what Mu Yunyi wanted to do, but it was normal for a six-year-old child to cry after falling. Besides, the more heartbreakingly she cried, the more misfortune would befall Sun Qian and Li Qiu Mei later.

At the tip of the blade, from the source of the voice, a soft laugh rang out. Then, the newcomer lightly raised a hand, as if holding a void of heaven and earth in their palm. A vast internal energy poured forth, forming an indescribably powerful force that effortlessly blocked Sima Changfeng's fierce strike.

"You're really pushing your luck, aren't you? We already made an exception for you to trade that jade pendant for so many medicinal herbs, and you're still not satisfied? Do you think your shabby pendant is worth that much?" Yang Xiu did not get angry at the clerk's biting remarks; he continued to beg the boss for further leniency.

The others followed one after another. Just as the last one, Ye Zang, crossed the puddle...

"To think they even used an illusion technique—who is this person? A wandering cultivator? You must tell us more so we can warn our leader not to provoke such people lightly." The person nearby listened with great interest, watching Luo Dong with curiosity.

"What did you do to her? What have you done to her?" Ziyin asked in a panic. No matter what Zhan Zhao did to Hongyu, he was powerless to stop it, and the fear in his heart made Ziyin feel like yielding.

Sun Wuji took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anger and anxiety. He had been gifted and exceptionally clever since childhood; once he calmed down, he already had a brilliant plan to win.

Wan'er rose and bowed to Miao Ruolan, "Sect Leader, I am leaving. Do you have any further instructions?" Her attitude was respectful—too respectful—and it made Miao Ruolan's teeth ache.

Even with the Indestructible Golden Body protecting him, how could Lin Xingchen withstand the power of the golden figure's blade?

"You all go and rest. Mei'er, stay. Qingshuang and Lieyan, there is no need to return to the swords; find a guest room to rest in." Miao Ruolan thought to herself, if she let Qingshuang and Lieyan return to the swords, wouldn't everyone be gone for what was about to happen?

"Brother Lin, thank you for your kindness, but I would rather find a way to resolve this myself," Wang Shishi shook her head and added. After all, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Feng or Yan Sha; she was already very happy that they had been willing to listen to her.

"Then there is no other way!" Orochimaru arrived behind Sasuke with a flicker of movement, pressed him down, and bit into his neck. Sasuke let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Min Yi rushed in excitedly. Ming Ying knew why he was happy, but she pretended to be ignorant.

Just when the merchants were depressed to the point of despair, the refugees from Jiangnan arrived unnoticed. It seemed that overnight, the area inside and outside the county town had been flooded with refugees.

Chang Jincai wanted to cry, but he didn't dare. He couldn't stop farting and urinating, soaking his trousers completely.

She pulled away from Jin Tingxiao's embrace, one hand resting on her bent knee, her gaze despondent and her words cold.

The former was completely impossible—he was a prince, after all. Although his mother was imprisoned, he still had the foster mother, Lady Gao; how could he be so destitute? As for the latter, what exactly was he hiding?

Chu Xu was quite confident in the fountain he had insisted on building. Furthermore, the infrastructure team had complained that the water pipes and pumping difficulties were too great, forcing them to cancel the planned sea-fishing platform, which everyone regretted. He himself had been grumbled at for a long time, but since its completion, no one had mentioned it again.

Because the vines hanging down on one side were quite lush, one could not see that anyone was hiding inside from the outside.

"Bringing such a 'lucky' lineup—did they bring the flashiest fleet in the port? Their actual combat strength might not be that great."

She hadn't even started spoiling them yet, and look—the one in front of her was already acting without shame.

It is especially worth mentioning that Victory also participated in the encirclement of Bismarck. Although she wasn't the one who scored the most dazzling hit, it's the participation that counts, right? Add Tirpitz to the mix, and calling them the "Sister Terminators" wouldn't be much of an exaggeration, would it?
