Stunning

A speck of flowing light flew out from the bloody mist of Si Tian's exploding body, shooting toward the Platinum Great Hall. Behind the stream of light, a massive face materialized. Its expression was savage and its eyes seemed ready to burst as it shrieked and gave chase after the light. The stream of light instantly spewed countless sparks behind it, which morphed into speckles of floating radiance resembling jellyfish, barring the giant hand's path. In every passing instant, hundreds of thousands of glimmering jellyfish manifested, anchoring the surrounding space-time and effectively cutting off Wei Yuan's pursuit from behind. However— "Child, you have finally arrived." The family patriarch shifted his gaze, and when his eyes fell upon Mu Tiankuang, he could not help but freeze slightly. Taking another look, a hint of astonishment surfaced in his eyes. "Long time no see, Second Prince." The old man swung his legs from the roof beam, took a deep breath, and landed steadily on the ground. He crossed his arms and looked at Ye Hua, showing no intention whatsoever of bowing. After swallowing the rank-two Life Pill, his complexion improved slightly. Though it was impossible to make a full recovery in an instant, in his current state, speaking a few words was no longer much of an issue. Mu Tianyao and his cohort were bound tightly at this moment. Forget running—even moving proved quite difficult for them. "Is that so?" Huangfu Ye asked coldly. His eyes slowly opened, gazing at Uncle Fu with chilling detachment. Certain matters were gradually becoming clear. Hua Xuanji tilted her head up slightly, gazing at the man before her whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper yet remained exceptionally handsome, and a thought suddenly surged in her heart. At present, all of them were Qi Venerable experts. Although Juye City was far from Zhitian City, with the spatial movement techniques of Qi Venerables, they could arrive in merely half a day. Hua Lang went to ask Wen Meng and Yin Wucuo, who clamored to go as well. Since there were more than twenty yamen runners protecting Bao Zheng at Seven Star Temple now, there would be no problem, so Hua Lang agreed. Afterward, Long Ling stepped into the ring. His opponent was quite formidable as well, yet before Long Ling's powerful strength, the man was utterly outmatched and yielded; Long Ling smoothly secured his place among the top twenty. The pain in her abdomen intertwined with the ache across her body, and Hua Xuanji could only clench her fists tightly to barely keep her mind conscious. Zhang Hongyu came out from the house, gave a stammering response, and was about to walk outside when Zhenghong hurriedly stopped her, insisting that there was no need for neighbors to stand on ceremony. Chen Erniu refused to let it go, and seeing his old woman standing dazed at the door, he urged her several more times. "I have faith in Mengmeng; she will definitely pass tomorrow," Dong Yanyan said with a leisurely smile, leaning against the wall with her legs crossed. Of course she had confidence in Mengmeng—in every competition, Mengmeng was a top-ten seeded contender. Chen Cuixi was not idle either. She calculated the approximate cost of the necessary ingredients; because the standards were much higher than preparing it privately at home, hosting the event would cost seven taels of silver even without counting the expense of oil, rice, and seasonings. "Because I've got a great figure!" Dong Yanyan sat down in the passenger seat. Dong Ming was afraid she might get cold, so he had left the car heater running the whole time, making it as warm as spring. After all, he possessed a cultivation of the Five-Life Return-to-True realm. At this life-or-death juncture once again, with a mere thought, a magic treasure flew out from atop his crown, flashing with purple lightning as it struck toward Gu Aotian while his true essence surged wildly, seeking to suppress and shatter the force binding him. Pushing open the front gate of the residence, Li Bai was astonished to discover that the Li family manor—which was usually utterly desolate except during the New Year—had become extraordinarily lively. Uncles, aunts, and sisters-in-law, who were usually too busy to be seen, were chatting idly in the courtyard, and the moment they saw Li Bai push open the door and enter, they immediately swarmed around him. There was definitely something fishy going on here. However, to prevent Shi Wanwan from flying into a rage from embarrassment and leaving him behind, Li Bai could only shut his mouth resentfully; when it came to speed, he had no confidence in keeping up with Shi Wanwan. "Please enlighten us, General Zhang." Hearing this, the three people at the waterside pavilion pricked up their ears, listening intently. Right at that moment, Meng Yueyun's vision blurred, and she found herself appearing inside an empty room. Meanwhile, Xuan Linghua, who had originally been sitting by her side, had vanished as well.
