Chapter 36

At this moment, Qi Tian-shou and his party arrived at Tang Valley. The Shinto swordsmen guarding the perimeter were struck with terror at the sight of Kua Fu.

Horthy, however, was a seasoned politician and could endure Reinhardt’s provocations. After only a few seconds, he composed himself and, with a polite demeanor, explained the matter once more to the deliberately feigning Reinhardt.

Thousands of elite soldiers watched the battle between the swordsman and the skeleton monster—formerly the bandit Li Biao—and began to chatter among themselves. Ultimately, they could not resist the urge to gamble, immediately placing bets on who would emerge victorious.

The ragdoll was rather worn and depicted a boy. His mouth was set at an angle, as if smiling, but it was not a true smile; this uncanny, half-smiling expression was the most unsettling part.

Rohm fired a shot into the air, and a massive horde of stormtroopers surged toward the main building of Hindenburg’s estate. Facing the threat of death, every stormtrooper sprinted with speed that transcended their limits. The sight of comrades falling beside them only fueled their terror and propelled them forward with even greater frenzy.

Seeing Wang Hao’s faint smile, the white snake let out a shriek; having just assumed human form, she had not yet had the chance to dress herself.

At that moment, she was covered only by a layer of sheer gauze that was hardly clothing at all, rendering her effectively naked.

But that was not the end of it. After her kick, Chunhua followed through with her sword, turning and thrusting it into the back of the Water-Injury Ghost. The blade pierced through his chest and heart, killing him instantly. The Fire-Injury Ghost, who had been wounded in the leg, saw his third brother fall and immediately attempted to flee, hurling a fire bomb at Chunhua as he ran.

Liu Liuxing’s expression shifted slightly. She had long known that Mu Qing-qian possessed a peerless, heavenly beauty, yet upon seeing her in person, she was still struck with astonishment.

Just as Qu Jin prepared to open the dark web to check the intelligence posted there, the doorbell rang once again.

Just as Feng Bao-bao was about to answer the people’s questions, a commotion erupted nearby.

Reflecting on this, Duanmu Fan became even more resolute in his conviction; he would make the person pulling the strings from the shadows pay the price.

In the pool, Han Fei exhausted the last trace of his profound energy, forcing out a blast of "Ice Frost Fury."

Thus, even Duanmu Lei only knew a few details, gleaned from the underground fighter and bodyguard who had fled.

Previously, Gan Ning had sent men to challenge the enemy, not only to provoke them into a decisive naval battle but also to scout the situation at the enemy’s naval camp. By now, Gan Ning had gathered nearly all the information he needed about the Cao army’s naval encampment.

Li Yue twitched the corner of her mouth, extending her translucent right hand to rest it—almost as if she were not truly there—upon his.

She rose, swaying her rounded, firm hips, and walked toward the lever switch on the wall.

As the man’s voice faded, the silvery moonlight and the pale blue light of the water converged and merged in mid-air, slowly forming the face of Kim Ji-soo, even retaining the smile that had yet to vanish.

Cao Cao felt a deep sense of urgency, for Yuan Shao’s preparations were becoming increasingly complete, and he would soon be marching south.

After receiving the brocade pouch, Liu Piaofen grabbed a vine that had suddenly sprouted and drifted away like a shadow.

After a brief introduction, Liao Dongfeng learned that the entity inside Qi-qi was called "Deep," the one inside Do-er was "Good," and the one inside himself, which had no impact on him, was "Ice." They were strange names, lacking both surnames and deeper meaning; they were entirely ornamental.

"Paul! Dario! Rami!" Colonel Masina shouted as loudly as he could, calling for the fire control officer, the navigator, and the damage control officer. These men had been stationed outside the combat bridge and might have survived the catastrophic blow.

The two sentries were stunned into silence, but at Prunt’s shout, they obediently stepped aside to clear the path.

"Just toss it away." As a Dark Giant, Jagerne was not a kind soul. He would not arrange a eulogy for this Giant of Light; he simply did not want a creature of light remaining in the sacred grounds of the Dark Giants.

"Understood. It seems the Suruga Governor is in need of reinforcements." Asadawa gave a wry smile. The more detailed Usami Sadamitsu was about his military achievements, the more Asadawa felt he needed support. After all, the Eastern Army under his command had already lost nearly half its strength, while the Hatakeyama army continued to receive constant reinforcements.

During the early stages of the Pacific War, the Japanese army swept through Southeast Asia with overwhelming force, then landed in Australia, sending the retreating American and British troops into a state of chaos. They seized countless spoils of war, including hundreds of combat aircraft, so their silhouettes were no longer unfamiliar to the Japanese officers and men.

Black light surged like flames, gradually spreading in all directions, and a temperature many times colder than the winds of the Pamirs began to permeate the area.

The Ruler Gaia diverted a portion of its power, manifesting it into a monster covered in cannons. Hearing the Ruler Gaia’s command, it gave a low growl and charged into the sky.

Time grew increasingly critical. The vengeful spirit that had left Zhang Wei glanced at him with a hint of fear, then immediately turned its gaze toward Qi Yan.

Storms and heatwaves swept across the wasteland. The blinding light made it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.

She rushed into the bathroom, drew some cold water, and pressed down her hair. Too rushed to find fresh clothes, she grabbed yesterday’s white shirt and pulled it on; it still faintly carried the scent of alcohol and tobacco.

Grandma Pei did not believe it. Usually, he and Manman barely spoke and acted like total strangers, so how could he have invited her over to talk tonight? Who would believe there wasn't something going on?

"Heh, I knew you’d say that." Wang Fan smiled upon hearing this, wearing the expression of someone who had anticipated Chen Bai’s response all along.
