Chapter 48
Although Di He's cultivation was not the highest in the Yangxu Palace, it was still far superior to that of ordinary practitioners.
They operated as thieves. By day, they used performing martial arts as a cover to scout out wealthy households. By night, while everyone was fast asleep, they murdered and plundered. Finally, they set a fire, disguising their crimes as a natural or man-made disaster.
Seeing this, Qingyang sighed. She withdrew her hand, gazed into Nan He's eyes for a long time, and then began to tell the story of what had transpired between her and Tanchu.
"Why are you looking at him? Is he so remarkable just because he's dressed up like that and striking a contemplative pose?" Liao Wangyue glanced in the direction of Ye Tianyi's gaze, only to see Nie Tu resting his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought. She said with disdain.
Because of this gesture, Bo Yanhe stiffened slightly. Her hand, hidden within her sleeve, clenched into a tight fist. She was truly afraid that in a moment of impulse, she might actually do something to him.
Once, Qingmei accidentally cut her finger on a sharp stone and was furious about it. To appease her, Helan promised that when they descended the mountain later, he would embroider a chessboard for her, wrapping every single chess piece in cloth so that they would never scratch her fingers again.
Precisely because of this, practicing this technique either resulted in death from various conflicting internal energies and unsuitable vital essences, or one managed to break through this barrier, only to undergo a drastic change in personality and become a true demonic cultivator. The problem was that relying solely on this Heaven-Shattering Art to break through the barrier of life and death was virtually impossible.
The soldier who had taken the lead at first shook his head at the man, then retreated behind him.
Helan, having just snapped out of it, hurriedly chased after her. The moment he crossed the front door, he saw the usually mild-tempered Mother Wu directly dumping a bucket of swill right at the entrance of the next-door neighbor's gate.
If she was merely a passing whim of his, a temporary plaything, why would he treat her so well? Why would he take her to meet his family?
"Qinghuan, you're back?" Hearing the door open, Chen Xi ran over happily, took the bags from her hands, and let out a cheer upon seeing the quite lavish ingredients inside.
Crossing the stone pier bridge, they were less than ten kilometers away from the Holy City base. In the blink of an eye, the horde of corpses could be right at their doorstep.
Gritting his teeth, he decided to push through. If worst came to worst, he would circulate his demonic energy then. Thus, everyone watched as Mao Yangrui paused for a while before continuing his ascent, yet completely devoid of any aura of demonic energy.
That was Cang Li's dharma manifestation, but it was merely an outline of a human figure—the same one he had first summoned when sleeping, yet different from the one he manifested during his slumber now.
Frank said nothing more, merely curling the corners of his lips slightly before hanging up the phone. He lowered his head and took a drag from the cigar burning at his fingertips, then looked up at the city's sky. The moonlight, shrouded by clouds, was indistinct, spreading dimly over people, feeling somewhat chilly and rather lonely.
Seeing this, the two guards exchanged glances, completely baffled as to why this tall fellow had turned and fled. However, since the immortal master had given the order, they had to capture this fellow and hand him over to the immortal master.
Chang Mengxue smiled and said, "You don't need to be so nervous. I didn't know his surname was Duan; I only found out because you called him Young Master Duan when you first woke up."
Xia Minghui said, "Indeed, I am he." In his heart, Xia Minghui was overjoyed. Because his reputation in the pugilistic world—especially being recognized by such a martial arts expert—though he still couldn't guess the other party's sect, vastly satisfied his vanity.
The wedding proceeded very smoothly. When it came time to exchange rings, I thought of when Guan Si and I had gotten married, and how Cang Li and Mumu had delivered the rings to us.
Having locked Phantom away within his portable spatial realm, Wu Tian could now concentrate entirely on dealing with the enemies before him.
Facing the troop that blindly adopted a defensive posture, Wu summoned Ma Xiao and the other envoys, handing each of them a smoke grenade.
If one looked even closer, they could see that every single figure shared the same expression—an expression of agony.
His figure flashed within three feet of Yin Dang, and before Yin Dang could react, he had already retreated three zhang away.
These cultivation techniques all originated from the insights of the Ancestor back in the day. Although successive generations of sect leaders and elders had occasionally created their own methods, tracing them back to their source, none could surpass the boundaries set by the Ancestor.
Naturally, there was no problem with his own son, and the number of disciples entering the second layer each year had been increasing by several, a trend that had persisted for decades.
Lu Li had exerted his all, his absolute utmost. Even though the king had already fought a round against the emperor, even though he possessed the enhancement of the red dress, even though his genetic lock was unlocked to its absolute limit... it was all to no avail.
The armor-piercing projectile with tremendous kinetic energy surged straight toward Wu Tian's left shoulder blade. Though he did not know why a headshot was not chosen to seize the opportunity, the sniper still executed Yan Rulong's command.
The first scene was a water-falling sequence. While filming, Mother Su watched from the sidelines. The leading man acting alongside me was a very renowned newcomer in the entertainment industry with striking looks. His real name was Feng Yanbo, and this was my first time acting alongside him.
Seeing Liu Xu's overwhelming dominance, Bai Qi and the numerous soldiers shouted out in unison, their weapons striking heavily against their armor.
"Alright!" Kaya nodded lightly with a warm smile. Ever since she decided to set sail with Jiang Li, all her hesitation and worries had vanished. Spending this short period of time with Jiang Li had also opened up her mind, leaving her free from anxiety and restraint.
After Ji Kai left, the blood in my entire body seemed to freeze. Some words, once spoken, can never be taken back.
Furthermore, my initial study of finance was merely to get close to Su Fan, and I hadn't even graduated. With my half-baked skills, how could I possibly manage Tong's Corporation? That was nothing short of a fantasy; therefore, handing it over willingly was far better.
A great wave of panic washed over him, for the attacking positions of martial artists like Gu Heng, Jin Shang, and Lu Wei were shockingly directed at the Tian family.
Otherwise, she would have truly thought that I, Ye Chuchu, was as gentle and vulnerable as my name suggested!
It was not that one could not survive, but rather that one would suffer severe impacts. Over time, a physical mutation might occur, making it hard to tell whether it would be good or bad. It was considered the most inferior of living planets.
I was utterly speechless. Just as I replied "Understood" back to her, she had already sent another message: "Bye-bye, I'm busy now, let's talk on the phone later!" Her profile picture immediately went dark.
With a flick of Liu Xu's mind, a crown, an imperial robe, and dragon boots all materialized upon him, radiating the overbearing aura of someone who reigned supreme over the eight wastes and six directions, the sole master of heaven and earth.
Refining pills using subterranean fire was much more effortless compared to ordinary methods using true fire. Thanks to the formations set up here, the control of the subterranean fire was extremely precise, ensuring that the flame intensity would not truly be disrupted.
