First update today: Chapter 2547! 1/4!
I had wanted to resolve the misunderstanding with you gently, but you didn't appreciate it.
You had to find out how big the fist on my side was before you knew to back down, huh?
Xu Kun took Shen-bao's hand and walked forward as if no one else was there.
Along the way, the trial-takers of the various races from the Thirteen Mountain Gates all moved aside, not daring to obstruct him in the slightest.
Though they had not seen each other for a long time, Shen-bao's attachment to Xu Kun had not faded in the least. She rested her head against his shoulder, having completely lost the imposing air she had displayed earlier when one cry had intimidated all four directions.
"We're not too late, are we?" Hao Jian came up to greet them. Sikong Ting, whose Wind and Thunder Wings had spread across the sky, also withdrew his divine ability and descended. Su Xiaoxiao put away Changqin and walked over.
"Boss, what do you say? These blind fools actually dared set their sights on you. No need for you to lift a finger—I'll teach them a lesson myself."
At those words, all the trial-takers took another step back, their faces as awkward as could be.
Xu Kun neither confirmed nor denied it. Looking at Hao Jian, whose eyes carried a trace of worry, he asked, "Why were you in such a hurry to find me?"
Yes, Xu Kun had not summoned Hao Jian and the others to back him up. Faced with the encirclement of the Thirteen Mountain Gates, he had no need to borrow anyone's strength.
It was simply that the moment he left the Plague Realm Ruins, he sensed the soul fluctuations of Hao Jian constantly calling for him.
