Chapter 51
"Ha, I never said the one fighting you would be me!" Lin Hai sneered, and suddenly, an emerald-green thunderbolt whistled toward Xu Tianyun's back, grand and mighty.
Then, she tossed her long hair and walked away, leaving only a legendary silhouette for the other guests in the tavern to admire—graceful, poised, elegant, and noble.
At this moment, Liu Tuojin knew full well that the mighty power of that ancient, desolate ruler of the universe being unleashed right now was not even one-thousandth, or perhaps even one-ten-thousandth, of his true might.
Seeing that everyone had entered, the assistant arrogantly raised his chin at the doctor, signaling him to speak.
Boredom was a painful thing, and Ao Xingchu needed to talk to others just to alleviate his own suffering.
There was no help for it; someone like me, who only knew how to build a fire and roast meat, had no idea how to stir-fry in an iron wok. At times like this, I still had to swallow my pride and beg, even resorting to a lie like "my injuries will relapse if I don't eat," which just shows how terribly hungry I was.
If the Crown Prince was completely oblivious, it stood to reason he wouldn't have arranged for his own biological sister to take such a risk. Furthermore, the battlefield briefing also stated that the Crown Prince had a plan.
Upon seeing the police, the owner of the disco felt a mixture of bitterness and relief. What tasted bitter was that his boss hadn't arrived before the police, making this situation somewhat harder to handle. What brought him relief, however, was that with so many police officers present, his life suddenly seemed a lot safer.
The other elder spoke unceremoniously, causing the middle-aged man in military uniform to choke. His expression turned rather ugly, but he did not speak again. If only things were truly this simple! Although he had men under his command, if those people refused to supply him with food and ammunition, what was he supposed to use to fight?
Inside Chuyun City, forces belonging to the Seven Great Families and the Eighteen Sects poured like a tide through the First-Line Ridge and into the Vault of Heaven Ruins.
"I also said that if you can't beat them, you should do it behind their backs," Shen Yuan said calmly, not letting the other party lead him astray.
Mu Yuanxi sneered, her right hand spinning the thumb ring on her left hand as she looked down at the people below with a chilling voice.
Stepping through the void, Lin Zhenhui let out a low roar and brought his hammer crashing down; a majestic and boundless golden suanni raised its paw and struck toward Su Tian.
"It's swollen up like this. How did you manage to hold back and make no sound last night?" Long Yuhe used his finger to touch it.
Yet now, no matter how irrational she felt, she had to admit that trying to force her way straight through was simply not a viable method.
It was practically a work of art. To taste, it was crisp and refreshing, and the texture of the tofu was tender and delightful.
Feng Ruoxing did not move because she recognized that the leader of the troops on her left was Ling, and following right behind Ling was Shen Qingbai, who had departed with the remnant disciples of the Aoxue Sect. Over a hundred swordsmen stood in strict formation behind the two of them.
The underworld messengers visible to sorcerers all wore black robes and were solely responsible for guiding souls into the Yellow Springs. Messengers clad in red robes, however, were much higher-existence beings; unless one reached the core of the Underworld, there was no way to see a red-robed messenger.
Boyin had stayed here for less than twenty minutes before letting go of me, getting up, changing into a suit, and leaving.
If he were to move against Yin Gezhi first, it would give the latter a pretext to rebel. Putting aside the fact that there were already quite a few people in the court supporting him, just look at the Imperial Guards—that Commandant Chen came from the Eastern Palace. Although he could be considered quite loyal to him, whether he would obey orders if the opponent was Yin Chenbi remained to be seen.
Where the Orc Wasteland met the northern territories of humans, there was a north-south trending mountain range. This area gradually formed the final barrier for the survival of the two races, providing the declining orcs with one last sanctuary.
I was somewhat depressed. Pei Shangxi sent a smiling emoji and said nothing more, so I put down my phone and went to sleep.
She kept taking deep breaths, her full chest heaving irregularly, and her heart pounding wildly. Helan Jin felt she probably needed to go see a cardiologist right now.
Then, as the cadres and soldiers in the other command carriages began to follow Song Tianming's footsteps, stepping resolutely out of the carriages—second, third, fourth... Before long, the members of the command organ inside the carriage filed past Jin Bin one after another.
The Ghost Plague Demon God said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured. All these years, I, Ghost Plague, have been preparing for these matters, even earlier than your return. Look at this object in my hand." The Demon God pulled out an iron rod of supreme chaotic treasure.
Within the vast and magnificent mountain ranges, humans could not fully penetrate and occupy them, nor could the major orc clans fully guard them. The western side was infested with human mercenaries, occasionally saw divine-grade magical beasts and even fiend dragons, and was filled with perilous zones; the eastern side harbored equally powerful magical beasts and sparsely roaming, formidable orc warriors.
Boyin took it in stride, then took my hand and led me out of the elevator. I punched in the apartment password, opened the door, and went inside.
Having gained something in Xuantudu, Yin Linzi no longer concealed this little thought of his.
This remark was a bit too overconfident. Zhao Wuque's personality had always been very steady; normally, he would never utter such complacent words.
Over the span of half a year, Ye Yi refined a great many medicinal pills, the most astonishing quantities being the Body Tempering Fluid and the Spirit-Condensing Powder.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I volunteered to request the post of garrison general at the pass; it has nothing to do with the Grand Preceptor. Please do not blame him!" Liu Qing immediately knelt and bowed in salute.
Hou Xuanxian leaned forward. The incident happened so abruptly, and his exhausted personal guards also lost their usual reflexes, failing to support him in time. Hou Xuanxian tumbled down. Liu Zhong had a guilty conscience and kept his head bowed the lowest, so he failed to dodge it.
Before leaving the Zhaohua Palace, Helian霄 did not forget to pinch Su Zimiao's cheek as a form of punishment.
From then until noon, personnel and equipment were continuously delivered here. What made Leon and Ning Hao feel somewhat relieved was that they had not yet received news of being interrogated; they were merely ordered to command the rescue forces here.
For a split second, Ye Yu lost her composure. She averted her gaze, pretending to naturally look at the scenery outside the window, though her thoughts were long gone from the cherry blossoms.
When the news of He Tengjiao's execution spread across Huguang, the people in Yuezhou City finally woke up as if from a dream. Gu Yanwu and Yuan Jixian looked at each other in speechlessness, leaving only a sigh.
When the news of Suzhou University's student recruitment reached the Northwest, Principal Peng, who had been making quite a name for himself in Dzungaria, handed over his troops and rushed back to take charge of Suzhou University.
