When Hua Xiong received Du Yuan's report, he had already beaten Yan Liang's forces into disarray. Despite having only half the manpower of his opponent, Hua Xiong's relentless attacks and strategic maneuvers left Yan Liang reeling.
Making a swift decision, Hua Xiong ordered a change in formation to intensify the assault on Yan Liang. Upon learning that his opponent was the renowned "First Ascendant" (先登, Xian Deng) unit, Hua Xiong surprisingly felt more at ease.

"Let's move out. I want to see who can make my heart race like this. Yan Liang, you're not qualified!" Hua Xiong's body radiated a fiery red glow as excitement surged within him. He was eager to find out who could defeat him while he led an entire army.
As Hua Xiong organized his troops for departure, Du Yuan and the other commanders felt a twinge of fear, but seeing their general's confidence dispelled their concerns.
When Hua Xiong's army advanced, Yan Liang observed thei...

The next day, Gao Shun took over his unit, much to Wei Xu's dismay. He then re-equipped his Formation Breakers with the eight hundred sets of Fish Scale Armor, full-body shields, large sabers, and crossbows that they had captured from the Flying Bear Army.
As Gao Shun watched the eight hundred soldiers with their cold expressions, even Lü Bu was at a loss for words. With a single wave of Gao Shun's hand, the strength of these eight hundred soldiers soared from the Qi Refinement ...

Of course, Chen Xi understood the difference between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. When Liu Bei first arrived in Mount Tai, his power compared to Yuan Shao when he occupied Jizhou was akin to the difference between post-World War II China and the United States. Moreover, just like Mount Tai, Liu Bei had the support of Xuzhou...
However, Chen Xi's greatest achievement was achieving self-sufficiency before Xuzhou cut off its support and then rapidly expanding to catch up with Yuan Shao. T...

Liu Bei personally helped Lu Kang to the seat right next to his own, showing him the utmost respect. Although Liu Bei hadn’t fully grasped the importance of Lu Kang and the Lu family, both Chen Xi and Li You had made it clear to him that the Lu family would play a significant role in his future plans to restore the Han dynasty. Therefore, Liu Bei felt it was necessary to treat Lu Kang with great courtesy.

Jia Xu felt dizzy, his mind spinning from the information Chen Xi had just shared with him. If it hadn’t been Chen Xi who calmly said these words, Jia Xu would never have believed it, even if beaten to death.
"Are you sure?" Jia Xu's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. "Are you sure that the place where the Wuhuan and Xianbei reside is really like you described? If it’s true, why haven’t they started farming there?"
"Because they're too foolish, or maybe they never consi...

After cornering Chen Xi, a smile appeared on Lu Su's face, and he continued to wait at the entrance. A short while later, a black carriage arrived, and Jia Xu slowly stepped out.
"Long time no see, Wenhe," Lu Su said, placing a hand on Jia Xu's shoulder before Chen Xi could greet him.
Jia Xu immediately felt a weight on his shoulder, realizing for the first time just how strong Lu Su’s grip was. However, he maintained his calm demeanor and raised his hand to greet Lu Su. ...

"Has the path to immortality truly been severed?"
Li Hao froze and asked, "Are there immortals and gods in this world?"
Hearing Li Hao's question, Night Ancestor chuckled and replied, "Immortals and gods are elusive and mysterious; no one has ever seen them with their own eyes. But there are records in ancient texts. For example, on the Moonwatching Cliff, there is a sword monument with a sword shadow called 'Immortal's Guiding Hand.' Such an exquisite sword technique could...

Despite this, they still sensed that Li Hao's sword energy was infused with a powerful Dao rhythm, an extremely te...

The mere thought of such a significant opportunity made the surrounding people visibly excited.

Qin Zi froze mid-step, unsure of what to do.
At that moment, the dust in the sky slowly dispersed, revealing a magnificent palace glowing brightly, its brilliance almost blinding.

Everyone was stunned.
In a short span of time, two shocking twists had occurred, leaving people struggling to process it all.
Just a second ago, everyone was still in shock from the Vermilion Bird prince’s sneak attack. The next second, the prince was killed in a swift counter.

The Vermilion Bird Emperor was the first to react. He rushed forward, grabbing his son’s lifeless body. Once he confirmed that his son was dead, his face...

"The concentration is quite high; these are the freshest blueberries, just picked a few days ago!" Henk replied proudly as he took a step back and sat down.
Noticing the stone box in Rhett's hand, Henk curiously eyed it for a moment. Then, blinking in surprise, he pointed at the box and asked,

After Rhett walked away, Makov stood alone under the tree, gazing in the direction Rhett had gone. His expression turned serious as he muttered a few words to himself, words only he could hear. Then, carrying the White-Eyed Mouse pup, he headed off in another direction.
Rhett walked alone along the path, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, muttering to himself, "There are still two more White-Eyed Mouse pups that need to be distributed. But who should I give them to?"
