Another three months passed. War seemed to have become the daily routine of the Land of Vitality. In the sky, blossoming fireballs and suddenly appearing swathes of radiant, brilliant light could be seen at any moment.
The fireballs belonged solely to Wei Yuan's side; battle bastions, motherships, and large starships were all prone to exploding. Wei Yuan had already launched an emergency research project to prevent such explosions, but putting it into practical use would still take some time.
The radiant light was unique to the Outer Heavens. Whenever those colossal celestial beasts were gravely wounded, their spilling celestial blood would dye—
It was said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, two outside cultivators had managed to leave this space successfully despite not having reached the Immortal Inquiry stage.
Yanyu looked back at the mountain stronghold. Since everyone was dead, it was better to burn it all clean with a fire. By the time the raging flames flared up, dawn had already broken. The two of them gazed at the blaze on the mountain, and Yanyu suddenly shed tears. From then on, there would never be a "home" again.
In the end, Zheng Zhong chose the item he urgently needed. After all, if that token were an offensive magic treasure, it would be of little use to him even if he obtained it.
Yu Yanbing looked at his calm face, feeling his scalp tingle with numbness. Giving a slight nod, he hurried upstairs. This princess truly did not seem like a princess at all.
However, he would not say anything at a time like this. Once the matter was over, there would naturally be time to ask her.
His gaze swept across the few people inside the inn one by one: a cook, two waiters, a shopkeeper, plus two kitchen assistants.
The boss of this printer trading company had arranged a large private dining room, setting out a grand table filled with all manner of delicacies, and had even arranged Wan-style service for Qu Bo.
Seeing that Zhao Shuying was completely impervious to persuasion, Yu Wei knew he could not fool this big shot at all, and in the end, he conceded defeat.
Therefore, she planned to discuss it with the other members at the Tarot Gathering and seek their opinions.
Wu Xin's sword technique was just like her character: coldly elegant and ruthless. In an instant, she had executed eight strikes, each being her most adept and vicious move. Yet the man in black dodged with effortless ease; his martial arts were surprisingly far superior to Wu Xin's.
However, observing the relationship between Shui Jianzhi and Xu Ruoying, Hua Qingyi saw that although Shui Jianzhi seemed somewhat interested in Xu Ruoying, he appeared to constantly force himself not to fall for her. In truth, how could Hua Qingyi know that Shui Jianzhi was nominally Xu Ruoying's brother-in-law?
The sky here shifted ceaselessly among various solid colors, resembling a river of stars shimmering with auroral light.
The tone turned from cold indifference to resolute determination; an ordinary cultivator's mind would likely have collapsed by now.
"Regimental Commander, we didn't receive any phone call saying the Japanese were coming. Perhaps Lord Ichiro Ida received a call over there. In any case, since the Japanese have arrived, we must attend to them," the adjutant suggested to Song Jingtian.
"I wonder what this young lady wants with my fiancé?" Hearing that familiar voice, Mo Ziyun's eyes lit up. He turned his head in excitement to see a figure dressed in a purple gown with her hair up in a bun walking slowly over to his side. She supported him firmly, roughly pulling away the hand resting on him.
This external sensory impression was very similar to a self-detonation, but in El's judgment, it was not one.
However, unlike Astraea, Lilith possessed a pair of magnificent wings on her back, granted to her through cutting-edge biological technology. In order to craft these wings, the Demigod Society had specially sent people back to the North Pole to capture a rare bird that appeared only in the Arctic—the Arctic Peacock Crane.
This was a fine opportunity, with the goal of keeping the Americans from shifting their attention to China! China was truly still too weak right now, no match for the Yanks. Better to let the Yanks focus on the Soviet Union first; only when the Soviet Union was brought down would it be time for Liao Fan to make his real move.
Outside the arena, in the Zhao family's viewing stands, Zhao Rendi's previously somewhat relaxed expression gradually turned tense.
Yu Jie said, "Everyone has selfish motives. I was the one who obtained the treasure, so it belongs to me. Am I supposed to hand it over to the Desolate Barbaric Sect?" Long Luo replied, "It's true that what you obtained is yours, but if I'm not mistaken, you're the only one who knows about this place."
Leave Notice
Tied up with pressing business today; taking one day off.
Upon colliding, the palm print shattered with a boom, then coalesced once more into a sharp arrow that shot abruptly toward Yang Tian ahead.
Su Yan already knew from Su Lie that this general held the rank of Senior General. Although that was one rank higher than Su Zhengtian, Su Lie was a second-rank high official of the imperial court, so it was only proper for the general to pay his respects.
Later, when your skill was high enough that you could form a team to join the league, I braved my family's resentful glares time and again to accompany you to competitions at my own expense. Do you have any idea how humiliated I felt back then?
She knew full well that the last pretty older sister who had been carried off by this guy was thrown into the river within three days, like a rat tossed into a foul ditch.
In the end, while Li Guanghui still had a sliver of health left, I tossed his limp body onto the ground like discarding a withered, broken leaf. Then, still unsatisfied, I stamped on him a few times. Though the stomps weren't very heavy, they still trampled Li Guanghui to death, causing a floor full of potions to burst forth, though no equipment dropped.
The Cheng family's secondary estate in Linshui City had not been used for a long time. The loose dust on the tables and chairs drifted upward with the gentlest puff of breath, colliding haphazardly in the bright sunlight before slowly settling back down.
Circling back to the spot where he had entered the mountains, he found the horse he had ridden when arriving. Seizing the reins of the mount originally intended for the old scout, he led both back into Linshui City together.
As soon as he entered Lin Hai's body, Sanbao sensed his spirit power being rapidly broken down by a strange force. Before it could travel even the length of a single meridian, it was completely consumed without a trace. It was the spirit python's venom source.
The ground of the Fire Restriction Realm was so hard that even a peak Spirit God would find it difficult to move through. No one had expected Sanbao to be able to execute an earth-escape technique within such unyielding ground; this was clearly yet another innate divine ability.
An arena measuring over a hundred meters in both length and width slowly unveiled itself. Cast from metal and stone, it was magnificent and imposing, virtually stirring up a primal thirst for battle.
Only, before he could finish what he was saying, he was interrupted by a somewhat fawning voice.
"Could these two be his accomplices?" Hearing Kou Yiming say this, Blood Rose immediately cast her gaze toward the pair.
Neither Ji Cheng nor Zhan Xue spoke, but the sorrow in their eyes went without saying. That brutal battle twelve years ago was the most agonizing memory of their lives, one neither wished to mention. Now that Ying Xiaowo brought it up again, it was undoubtedly ripping open the most painful wounds in the hearts of Zhan Xue and Ji Cheng.
"You are...?" Xing Wei scrutinized the fat man's face, unable for the moment to recall who the person before her was.
Just as he hit the ground, another gunshot rang out in his face. Lu Fan rolled across the ground, pressing forward toward the man with the momentum. "Heh heh!" the man chuckled in a low voice. Lu Fan suddenly felt an immense suction pulling him into the air against his will. Finger bones! Sensing that things were amiss, Lu Fan hooked his fingers and clawed out with all his might.
Xing Yu's expression grew solemn. Clenching his fists at his sides, he abruptly spread his fingers and thrust upward. An illusory vapor condensed into shape behind him, turning into the figure of a ferocious tiger that pounced toward the blade light.
The instant he handed over the two thousand medium-grade spirit stones, the half-step Holy Venerable man suddenly lashed out, smashing a fist straight into his head. His eyes went wide.
"Not long ago, didn't you say the Shen Hag was the Dao companion of your dreams? How come you're already urging me to change my mind now?" Jiang Yu glared at it, speaking in exasperation.
"You and Sai Dong go and make thorough preparations. You must make a tremendous scene," Pang Long said helplessly.
After entering the inn, the two of them did not sneak about suspiciously. One walked out in the open with his head lowered; without looking closely, one would think it was just a shop attendant going about his duties. The other stayed in the nearby shadows, ready to provide support at any moment.
Stepping out of the house, a cold wind blew over, deepening Uncle Xiang's drunkenness by several degrees. He was tall and burly, making it quite strenuous for Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun to support him. They could only hear the old man muttering incoherently under his breath, impossible to make out what he was saying.
"Bing'er, please don't misunderstand me. I truly like you—I even love you! These feelings have never changed!" Shangguan Chen looked at Le Bing with a grave expression, showing not the slightest trace of insincerity. Looking at how earnest he appeared, Le Bing almost felt like clapping and cheering for him.
It resembled an endless ocean, with an azure sky overhead that matched the sea's surface. But looking closer, that was no sky at all; it was clearly another body of water—an inverted ocean! The sea lay beneath one's feet, and the sea stretched overhead.
Shangguan Fei possessed the strength of a mutated illusionist. While slightly stronger than others of the same level and rank, the advantage was limited, let alone compared to an expert like her, who was an entire level higher.
Next, Old Yao led Lu Yu to a medicine cauldron at the center of the alchemy room. The cauldron had three legs, stood about half a person high, had a diameter of roughly one meter, and was topped with a lid.
After blowing out the lamps, the room grew quiet. Once night fell, roadside inns like this saw no patrons calling, and scarcely any travelers passed along the road; only the cries of wild beasts and owls could be heard.
If someone were to see her acting so intimately right now, nestled in another man's arms, they would surely harbor suspicions—all the more so since her fiancé had only just been murdered.
Under everyone's terrified gazes, the blustering aura of the berserk lion suddenly died down by more than half. The beast's entire body was flipped into the air and crashed to the ground. Before it could scramble back to its feet, a fierce gale rolled over it, enveloping the massive lion within.
Such a commotion naturally alarmed the Li family caravan. During dinner, Li Chuang made a point of asking Zhu Da about it. Seeing that Zhu Da was also taking part in the night watch rotation, he even asked whether the caravan ought to hide in the county seat.
