Chapter 25

With no other choice, Ma Chao intensified his assault on Ju County, but Mao Yuchun fought to the death and refused to retreat, leaving Ma Chao unable to breach the city.

As Liang Hongyu waved her command flag, Hui Mei led the central army to charge toward the rear guard. Seeing this, Li Zicheng and Ma Teng immediately led their men to flank the rear, preparing to smash through the formation.

Qin Dong let out a roar toward the sky, holding Lin Ya in his arms, unable to speak for a moment. Lin Ya’s fingers twitched slightly, and she smiled as she began to speak.

Several days passed, yet Tang Xinglin took no action. Each day, he either sat in the main hall drinking tea or returned to his room to rest. It was as if he were not the least bit anxious about the Huangfu family members who had been poisoned, nor the fact that the culprit remained at large.

Though Wang Hao grabbed her, Zi Xing broke free from his grasp, her eyes fixed on him with determination.

Xu Wanying called out to Meng Luo from a distance. Although Meng Luo never spoke of it, she knew he often played video games late into the night.

The one who arrived was Xun Guanniang, summoned by Ding Li. Hearing Xun You’s call, she immediately rushed over. At that moment, Ding Li and Yue He were commanding their troops in a stalemate against Tian Jianxiu’s forces. With those three thousand Xun family soldiers, Xun Guanniang tore through Tian Jianxiu’s ranks without the slightest effort.

Even the Golden Moon Dagger could not cut through those strands of hair, sending a chill through Leng Yi’s heart. Moreover, a tremendous force emanated from the hair, dragging Leng Yi toward the lake.

The Liufang Step was arguably Bai Susu’s only remaining reliance, but she needed time—time that Han Yue had to buy for her.

Jiu Xuanzi was about to speak, but suddenly, several stone spikes flew from behind him, piercing toward him in total silence.

Logically, the elders of the sect must have been aware of these matters. So why would they force a once-in-a-century cultivation prodigy to absorb the Burning Flame Heavenly Heart Stone? Was this not meant to nip such a talent in the bud?

"Yes, I had to take care of some things." Mu Jingge had already bathed and changed at Qin Junzhe’s estate, as he did not want Shu Wang to smell the scent of blood on him.

The old man was dressed quite sloppily, swaying as he held a flask of wine, clearly having drunk quite a bit.

Realizing she was out of danger, Mu Tianjiao ignored the pain in her leg and ran out of the restaurant in a panic.

Ye Qingyan stared at him with wide eyes, even blinking, before calmly looking in the direction Jin Sicheng was watching.

"Ugh..." As soon as she entered her courtyard, Ji Wanyong could not stop retching, her stomach churning violently.

Approaching noon, Shu Wang pondered for a long time, still unsure whether she should call Luo Di.

"Redirect all energy, equipment, and formations into a defensive posture. Stall them. I must request a powerhouse from the Earth Army to neutralize my tactics! Otherwise, Zuo Xing will break through sooner or later!" Yifeng gave his temporary orders.

Jian Han simply did not understand why Jin Sicheng would tell Jiang Shaoqian about their marriage.

Consequently, Bai Liuli had several large, well-known websites bribed. With everything prepared, she waited for tomorrow’s press conference.

It was unclear what kind of mechanisms or traps were set inside the shipyard, but whenever anyone approached the gate, the dull sound of rotating gears would ring out, and a group of people would fall.

"It can be considered." She thought to herself: If I truly find you, I will still kill you with a single sword stroke. People like you are a menace to the world.

Though the beautiful flower had endured the ravages of a storm, it had also been amply nourished. She was like a fresh bloom after the rain—so clear and moving. Her cloud-like black hair was in disarray, and her beautiful, charming face still bore a trace of intoxicating spring, her lovely peach-blossom cheeks still flushed like fire.

This time, Pei Ying had beaten his own grandson to death, and it seemed there were always shadows lurking behind such events.

"Madam..." Liu Yue was growing anxious. Suddenly realizing this was not a place for her to speak, she stopped mid-sentence, hesitating.

"You... are you playing me? You took so many favors from me, and now you’re turning your back on me?" The man in the overcoat was furious. He crushed his cigarette butt, grabbed the fat director by the collar, and made as if to strike him.

Of course, the Spear of Vengeance relied on this very trait, granting her sufficient flexibility in both attack and defense, which greatly enhanced her survivability.

As more people turned into zombies, the rest panicked and fled in all directions; some even ran straight across the road and jumped into the sea. If a vehicle was considered a single unit, then unless the driver turned into a zombie, they could generally escape the danger zone as long as the road remained clear.

"And now, our football environment is deteriorating. A few giants are monopolizing the discourse, not just in their own country, but they also have considerable influence within UEFA. The issues exposed by the Italian Calciopoli scandal are not just limited to Italy; this is merely the tip of the iceberg!" Platini said, looking at Hugo earnestly.

Hearing this voice, Lin Chen subconsciously frowned. He looked to his right and immediately saw a very moving silhouette.

Lin Feng was very satisfied with this. He addressed the stunned Wolf King, "You are the first person who has dared to draw a gun on me." His expression was neither sad nor happy, fully committed to his act of arrogance.

With the matter explained, Zhou Xiaohua was overjoyed and hurried to the kitchen to cook, preparing to host this noble guest from the provincial capital.

Mu Yan Ningjing was about to hurl an insult, but Hua Shangling walked in from outside and sat down across from Jiang Hai.

Tribes of different faiths each possessed their own unique spiritual seeds for the gods they worshipped. For instance, the Spirit Fire Seed.

The bed was covered with a thick layer of animal hides and looked quite soft. For the convenience of others seeking him out, Wo Qiang generally did not close his door.

"Very well, now I would like to discuss the installation of the pollution treatment equipment with you again," Zhou Yi began.

Normally, the assembly of a Great Province only required the presence of a majority of the representatives to be valid, unless an Imperial Decree from the Heavenly Palace was handed down or a major event occurred within the province—such as a war with another province—that would cause the Speaker to appear.

Chairman Leng spoke with urgency, his gaze filled with a burning desire for world unification. As the supreme leader of Huaxia, he hoped for Huaxia to be stronger more than anyone else; that way, not only would the people of Huaxia have status, but he would as well, and he would be able to leave his name in history.
