Chapter 67 New Year's Greetings and "Qi-Ji-Zi"

The process is identical to the art of incense appreciation; it begins with the selection of raw materials. Through recent periods of honing, practice has made perfect. Superior materials possess a deep, lingering fragrance, whereas inferior ones are thin and carry off-odors. For Wen Yiming, such distinctions are instantly discernible with a single sniff.

"Swish, swish, swish!" More and more shinobi from the Allied Shinobi Forces appeared. Right in their midst, a young man with a giant sand gourd strapped to his back and arms crossed over his chest stood expressionlessly, gazing at his enemies.

Witnessing that mind-boggling battle situation, the eyeballs of everyone watching popped out in utter disbelief. They had guessed countless possibilities in their minds, yet none of them expected the scene to turn out to be so immensely thrilling and joyous.

Wherever there were cities, military vehicles of the Dark Empire could be found. Thanks to these military vehicles, specialty products from various cities of the Dark Empire could be transported and sold elsewhere. Within the Dark Imperial Capital, one could purchase all kinds of goods available across the entire Dark Empire.

It could be said that this single slash from Qin Tian directly cut a valuable piece of jade right down the middle, severing it at the waist. The price of an intact piece of jade versus one cut in half is worlds apart. What could previously have been sold for around twenty-three million would now fetch at most two million—and that only if he happened to run into a complete fool.

Upon seeing this, the demonic puppet could not help but be greatly startled. At this very moment, it was already too late to halt its momentum, leaving it no choice but to take the blow head-on with its arms.

A blue cube, inside of which seemed to be a swirling mass of flowing water, was emitting a soft, ocean-like azure glow within a somewhat darkened space. A one-eyed, bald man dressed in a black trench coat stood before the metal framework that clutched the Tesseract.

At a New York subway station, a Soviet agent unassumingly released a canister of sarin gas. Amidst wave after wave of screams, the people hiding in the subway station for shelter were reduced to piles of corpses—a truly horrifying and unbearable sight.

"Can you cut through this door and get out tomorrow night?" Duanmu Zhige asked, recalling the invincible Heaven-Slaying Saber.

Two metallic clangs rang out. Sun Zeyuan's tentative two punches struck Qin Tian's chest solidly, without the slightest bit of falsehood. Yet this seemingly auspicious opening strike brought no joy to Sun Zeyuan's heart; instead, it caused his brows to knit tightly together.

However, these assassins possessed at most the strength of low-tier first-grade martial artists, which was entirely insufficient when pitted against Su Qilou.

"You all have steadfast goals, whereas I am entirely melancholic about my own path forward, having no clue whatsoever as to what I should choose," Yao Yunqing said with a distressed expression.

"However, these treasures cannot be given to you; they need to be handed over to the state. Are you willing?" Qin Youkun asked again.

Could it be that slightly dazed Su He, who was clumsy with cakes and sometimes prone to all sorts of bizarre incidents?

A short while later, apart from the elderly man and the two Foundation Establishment stage four cultivators, everyone else lay dead on the spot. Why? Simply because practice makes perfect.

Clearly sensing Li Xitong's body tremble slightly, Chen Mo loosened his arms, though his face bore not the slightest trace of awkwardness or apology.

Yuan Shangke made an instantaneous decision and bowed deeply to Old General Cui: "General Cui, Yuan is willing to redeem his crimes with meritorious service and obey the General's arrangements." With that, he walked over to the cursive-script calligraphy scroll hanging in the main hall bearing the characters for "Caution When Alone," stepped on the blue brick directly beneath the scroll, and the floor beneath the chief host's grandmaster chair collapsed inward.

At that time, teachers at various schools operated extracurricular tutoring classes. To get more students to enroll, many teachers would just perfunctorily go through the motions during regular classes and explain things in detail only during tutoring sessions. For the sake of grades, many parents had no choice but to enroll their children.

"Class honor doesn't mean she can steal your idea without uttering a word," Peng Lili said, fuming with anger.

Madam Su Zhang wept uncontrollably. The only man she had perhaps truly loved in her entire life—loved even more than the son who loved her—was Wang Ersheng alone.

"Yes. A few tomb keepers live in the villa, and their daily routine is to tend to the spirit tablets of the Shui family ancestors," the servant replied.

The items that subsequently took the stage were presented one after another, thoroughly opening Gao Feng's eyes. Without exception, every single one of these items was the cream of the crop. Looking at the process by which they had been stolen, he felt that the brains of these national museums must have been filled with excrement for such items to be stolen with such ease.

The appearance of Zhuang Lan was yet another node in his destiny. He had originally thought he only had two choices: either die or become a captive of the Daichang army. Whichever option it was, it meant that his culinary realm would henceforth come to a permanent halt.

Regardless of how oblivious Jung Jun-ha appeared on variety shows, whenever he acted, he stayed right on rhythm.

Then, Marlin signed the Grand Duke's decree—bestowing upon Albert the title of "Count of Philadelphia," with his fief located southwest of New York in the historical region of Philadelphia.

The Alice Coast Guard—I like this name. I originally wanted a militia establishment, never expecting this old fox to directly dish out a regular military force.

If that is the case, it simply means you have never tasted true barbecue, having at most eaten simplified barbecue at a buffet restaurant.

These Huangpu student soldiers possessed advanced and solid theories, and had accumulated practical combat experience while suppressing Chen Jiongming. Therefore, although the weaponry of both sides in the Northern Expedition seemed roughly similar, they were essentially two armies separated by a generational gap.

"You are all too naive, thinking that flying out above the sea surface gives you an advantage?" Abigail laughed heartily.

Amidst the general silence, the cold-man who had not spoken throughout the entire journey once again inquired. They had already been walking for nearly ten minutes. Although there were not any monsters along the way, that eerie silence made him quite uncomfortable.

"There is no problem. However, I still need you to do some things for me outside," Yang Yi nodded and said.
