After Qin Mingyue was released from the ban, she resumed her visits to pay her respects to Madam Wang and Dowager Jia. On the few occasions she happened to run into Jia Zheng, his expression was never very pleasant.

Qin Mingyue did not care, but Jia Huan was filled with curiosity about his father.

Jia Huan was still young. Although he was often confined to the small courtyard, everyone there doted on him. Since he seldom saw Jia Zheng, he stared at him with wide, curious eyes whenever they met.

These days, Jia Zheng did not even show Jia Baoyu—

Iron Man tore away the energy shield, lifted the return capsule with both hands, and raised it high above his head. Bringing his feet together, he transformed into a gigantic thruster with a clanking mechanical sound, propelling the return capsule swiftly out of sight. Yet he left a single message for Blue Shark Yao, for every crew member aboard the submarine, and for everyone in Xia:

“Peng—” After blocking the nine-toothed rake, Wang Han shifted his right foot and kicked Pig Ganglie squarely in the body.

The products displayed at the production-and-sales expo covered everything imaginable, including key offerings from enterprises in ninety-two countries and regions. There was everything from heavy machinery to biscuits.

The moment Ling heard that laughter, she leaped from her seat like a startled rabbit and nimbly darted aside, her expression full of wariness.

The expedition had ended, and Feng Yuechan was completely satisfied. As for the wealth worth hundreds of billions, she did not care much about it; she believed her father would handle it properly.

The instant they encountered it, Tohsaka Sakura realized that there was no chance of defeating such a monster through a head-on confrontation. And indeed, that was exactly what happened. Rider could barely withstand a single attack before being defeated beneath the enormous body and terrifying destructive power.

“Jian Tread Mountain and River” was both a divine ability and a sword formation. Countless streams of sword aura transformed into mountains and great rivers, yet they were not static. Every strand of sword aura moved at incredible speed, demanding extremely precise calculations. Not the slightest error could be made in the trajectory, speed, or coordination of any strand.

“Ha!” Jia suddenly laughed as he looked at Richard. “My kind friend, what are you talking about? You do not want to kill me? Could it be that you think you have the ability to kill me?”

Only after Chongzhen spoke again did Yu Shuoming rise after kowtowing in thanks. He stood before him with his hands lowered, his eyes fixed on his nose and his nose fixed on his heart, not daring to let his gaze wander.

Cheng Huailiang crouched on the ground, beaten senseless and nearly foaming at the mouth. Even so, he clenched his teeth and stubbornly endured it without uttering a sound.

“Then there will be no problem, so long as King Qin Guang and King Zhuanlun agree. Meng Po is one of King Zhuanlun’s subordinates,” Zhong Kui said.

“You have already used every skill you possess, haven’t you? But I still have plenty of methods left. Do you think we should continue?” Zhang Tianci asked.

Li Yuqing was delighted after hearing this, but there truly was nothing for them to do at the moment. She could only regretfully tell them that if they needed to hire people again in the future, she would continue looking for workers in their village. If they came in person, they would be given priority.

“Could you lower the price a little?” Chen Yun had only one hundred taels on him, and that money had just been given to him by someone else. He had no idea what might happen later, so he wanted to make it last.

As the two were talking, the attendant who had gone out earlier returned, handed a storage pouch to Zeng Yuanyuan, and withdrew.

Ever since their direct confrontation with Yu Si at the Jibin Tower that day, the Ma brothers and the others had, in a sense, stepped halfway into the ranks of the underworld figures of Black Mountain Town.

They had waited in place for less than ten minutes when the forest rang with heavy, urgent footsteps. A gigantic white figure burst from the trees and landed directly in front of Gao Wu.

“No. I only encountered several junior fellow disciples and you two. I believe Junior Brother Long will catch up with us. Let us head to the central region first!” Seeing that the two had believed him, Li Liang’s smile grew even broader.

The golden claw and the gray-white radiance gently collided. Just as before, the collision made no sound whatsoever, and the golden claw simply disintegrated.

Without powerful mages and powerful alchemical factories, what meaning was there in commanding a vast army? Rebellion?

In the next moment, she sat cross-legged, floating above the ground. Opening her mouth, she inhaled, and the water in the blood pool, which covered more than a hundred square meters, instantly transformed into a blood dragon that streamed endlessly into her body.

His gaze—

An Ruo wanted to say that she truly could no longer avoid his eyes. Yet she had clearly been thinking about looking away; was that not strange? In the end, when she forcibly shifted her gaze aside, it was precisely when the other person smiled.

“Now that you mention it, I feel a little guilty for making him land on the ground on his backside just now.” Yuzhu stuck out her tongue.

Previously, he had relied solely on the one hundred and five acupoints throughout his body to absorb the gloomy string energy of this place and use it to assault the Great Chest-Sea Acupoint. But now, he employed only the already cultivated Great Chest-Sea Guard Acupoints—those eight satellite acupoints surrounding the Great Chest-Sea Acupoint—to attack its primary acupoint.

Because of the deliberate reminder she had just given, Xiao Yuzheng was very likely to misunderstand, and it would be easy for matters to develop in the direction she desired.

After this squad had finished clearing a building beside the river, it was preparing to search for a bridge to cross when it came under attack from both flanks.

But the damned system seemed to have suddenly died. He had been calling it for ages, yet the thing simply refused to appear, leaving him in an exceedingly awkward position.

Still, Mi Zhu was quite clever. He had actually sent Mi Fang over directly. Was he trying to ensure that he would have no worries at his rear?

Every soldier was a commander. At least on Rhodes Island itself, this plan had already been realized.

Even for a hidden aristocratic clan such as theirs, cultivation manuals and secret scrolls of the Universal Rank were exceedingly rare strategic resources. Qin Huang’s promise was truly a generous gift—one substantial enough to influence the family’s future political stance toward the Brightmoon Star Sea.

This was the execution ground of the Huizhou Military Affairs Office. The people seemed to have grown accustomed to Chen Zhaotang’s repeated “execution on the spot,” or perhaps they simply had an innate fondness for spectacle. They watched beheadings as though celebrating a festival.

At that moment, Qin Huang was lying patiently in the flying car as he waited. As the heir apparent of the Shengxinlan Empire, his position in the order was naturally very far back, so he would have to wait a long time before it was his turn to enter.

Longmil and Belon looked at each other in bewilderment. Naturally, Dali had no idea that the Void had already been conquered by Lilil.

The so-called “seat” was not calculated by the number of people, but by the number of tables. Each table was counted as a minimum of ten people, and the price per seat was exactly three thousand. Though it could not be called expensive, in Hongyun, this was already the highest grade available.
