Volume 1, Chapter 37: Black-Browed Snake Island
Back then, he could slaughter the head of the Cui family without a moment’s hesitation; would he dare to defy the world today and execute Yuchi Gong right here in the imperial court?
Li Jing was furious. He had retreated to the left flank, but Cai Cong had seized that time gap to spread the word—to everyone’s indignation—that the cook had utilized the principle of incompatible ingredients to poison his comrades and disrupt the army’s morale. Now, the entire army was incensed, waiting only for Li Jing to enforce military law.
Lin Ying snapped his fingers. "Exactly. Some zombies appeared when the apocalypse first broke out, but the majority were normal people who became zombies after being bitten."
However, as Long Chen reached the entrance of the council hall, an inexplicable sense of panic surged into his heart.
The sword was connected to the sword array, and the sword qi within was vast and heavy. In an instant, it sealed off the space above Song Yuchan and her companions, descending upon them like a solid barrier of sword energy.
As it turned out, after the two of them left the hospital, they were ambushed by the Blood Mercenary Corps and killed.
He reassembled the members of the chamber of commerce who had betrayed their trust and coldly threatened them, forcing them to continue their opposition against the Princess's estate.
The only thing that felt wrong was that Manager Ning felt a persistent chill in his body; this sensation had been present ever since he crossed the military base and reached this mountain.
Night Owl had already made up his mind, so he struck immediately. However, his subtle movements had already been spotted by the sharp-eyed Chen Runze, who had anticipated this move and was fully prepared to counter it. It could be said that he dealt with it without the slightest effort.
"Caught it!" Sun Yi shouted. Lan Mei and the others had strapped themselves tightly into their seats, wearing parachute packs in case they needed to jump and escape at any moment.
A series of footsteps echoed from the staircase. Perhaps because the stairs were made of wood and the tower was quite hollow, the dull thuds sounded particularly abrupt.
Bishop Sili blinked his eyes in terror—had he truly let that taboo word slip by accident?
Wan Li was a soft-hearted man. After hearing Dayi’s tragic past, he used his professional psychological training to counsel her, feeling a sense of sympathy and resenting Bao Datong for making his sister’s childhood so lonely.
Xiang Rui was detestable, Xiang Xue was loathsome, but wasn't Bai Jingyu merely lifting a stone only to drop it on her own feet? If she hadn't been the one to give her personal maid to Xu Junlang as a concubine in the first place, would she have to endure such resentment and malice today?
A flame ignited from the bottom of the Qiankun Cauldron. It was a flame of five distinct colors—the Fire of Creation, fueled by the power of life and evolution, with each color representing one of the five elements.
"That is acceptable. As long as you hand over the Nine Yin Manual, both of you may leave. I give you my word!" Xiao Hen smiled slightly. With that, he flicked his fingers several times, sending out invisible currents of energy. Mei Chaofeng immediately leaped from the ground and lunged, reaching out to strike at Xiao Hen’s head.
"No need to be so formal with me. Just keep me, this ‘poverty-stricken’ soul, in mind if you ever run into a suitable girl," Tian Yang joked casually with An Changpu before turning to walk away.
Sure enough, Hong Haohao lost the upper hand in the first round of their mental confrontation. Seeing Wan Li laughing, she was overcome with shame and anger, walking over to slap him hard, completely disregarding her own image.
Seated beside Ming Yu, Sanqing, Jieyin, and the others also revealed the celebratory clouds and three flowers of merit above their heads, each displaying their own grandeur. For a moment, the Zixiao Palace was filled with radiant light and extraordinary colors, transforming into a kaleidoscope of a world.
Thinking of this, the aura around Xiao Tian grew icy. He rapidly formed hand seals, and the Thousand Phantom Sword hummed incessantly before him, as if echoing the intense killing intent in his heart, its power erupting even more violently than before.
"That’s it! My guess was right! However, you’ll have to ask him if he agrees to that!" Mu Yi said mysteriously, pointing behind the Ghost-Masked Man.
After hearing Ni Qiaozhi describe her abnormal behavior today, Mu Lingxi became even more certain that something was wrong with her.
Guan Yu’s words struck Jin Hua like a thunderbolt, leaving her dazed and unable to believe what she had just heard.
"Are you threatening me?" the person sitting down finally spoke. Although it was a question, the tone was exceptionally flat.
Leng Shu and the other fifteen players from the Haderwo faction were teleported together into an underground city called Karsteg.
For a moment, the scene was awkward. Wang Xi did not speak, nor did he lead Wan Bao'er away, which caused a flicker of impatience to cross her face.
The people outside were skeptical, but having no other choice, they resigned themselves to bad luck and opened the windows.
Opening the stopper, a wave of pungent blood hit him, causing Wang Xi to knit his brows tightly. He had never felt that human blood could smell so foul; could the Grand Preceptor’s blood be any different from anyone else’s?
Dong Shuqiang did not dodge. With his current physical strength, even taking the blade head-on wouldn't cause him injury, let alone the fact that his fire elemental energy would offset part of the impact. It was better to finish off these underlings first.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a brilliant light shone from his forehead. On the palace wall, a strange divine pattern seemed to shimmer in and out of existence.
He had originally thought Fang Yan was lying to him, but after spending so much time together, he realized that Fang Yan truly intended to let him go, to the point where, over time, even he had gradually lowered his guard.
