Return with Me
As Mohai's figure drew closer, Xia Zixuan stood motionlessly, his eyes reflecting the ghostly silhouette across the arena with a strange radiance.
He extended his right hand, drew the Heavenly Demon Ruler from his back, turned, and swung it fiercely in one continuous, flowing motion like drifting clouds and running water.
"A flying knife! Oh no, someone is going to die," Wang Long thought with a secret shock, wondering what on earth Lin Tian had said to make Shen develop a resolute determination to kill him.
To outsiders at this moment, he was clearly lumped together with Yan Yang. Moreover, with the three sword attendants of the Hidden Sword Sect killed by outsiders, if he failed to take any action, it would be a grave crime once word reached the sect.
Cang Yu let out a roar and threw a punch that directly blasted the golden beast away, causing it to crash through a mountain and become deeply buried within the rubble.
Jing Rong took a sip of tea, its fragrance lingering richly in his mouth. He raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, glanced at Mu Xuefu, and smiled gently, "Fu'er is gentle and wise, and she is my confidante. How could she ever offend me? You speak too seriously, My Lord Left Chancellor." The affection in his eyes was intense; at a glance, it was obvious how highly the Prince of Chen valued the Princess of Chen.
Sima Wufang roared furiously, holding nothing back under his ultimate technique as he continuously ground forward. Continuous rumbling echoed from within the black hole ahead, attempting to completely refine and subjugate Xia Zixuan.
Qiao Hua had anticipated beforehand that Tiger Fang would attempt to escape, but he had not expected Tiger Fang's actions to be so decisive, not even leaving time to offer a word of advice to Deacon Black Panther.
The Elder Council, whose membership was already small, had been so thoroughly massacred that only ten elders remained. Among these ten, five were loyal followers of the Jiang Family Head—that is, Jiang Chen's grandfather.
With his appearance completely altered, even if someone might be on guard against the "Thousands of Transformations" technique due to the Ming family's bounty notices, his own level of cultivation was more than enough to dispel any suspicion.
"Deal! As long as you agree, that's settled! I'll talk to Director Wang! Don't you worry, I guarantee there won't be any schedule conflicts!" Feng Ruiming said excitedly. Chen Jiaojiao's stubbornness had always been his biggest headache; now that she had agreed, he couldn't wait to call Director Wang immediately to inform him.
Within that trace of green light, a green medicinal pill lay quietly sleeping. Its color was breathtakingly exquisite to the extreme, making one's mouth water.
Even though no sunlight reached this place, the deep azure blue emanating from the sea illuminated the surroundings as brightly as day, leaving Luo Hong and the others secretly marveling.
"Get lost!" Luo Hong laughed and scolded, kicking Ni Xingkong in the rear as the latter was carrying Li Yifan. Ni Xingkong immediately returned to the City Lord's Mansion alongside Fu Yi and the others who had hurried over.
"Tomorrow, your grandfather wants you to have a sparring match with a cousin from the collateral branch. Do you have a strategy in mind?" Shi Hui asked casually after they had finished dinner.
Wu Yuxin's noncommittal attitude reflected his arrogant and decisive work style. Chang Feng said nothing further; he glanced at the sharp blades behind Wu Yuxin, and a sense of relief washed over his face. With the elite guards present, who could possibly harm Young Master Wu? Indeed, he had been worrying needlessly.
"Hahi." The man with the eight-character mustache nodded, then waved a hand. A puppet walked over holding a test tube containing the V-virus, which possessed a vastly enhanced capability for controlling people.
Watching Yan Yi's "childish" actions, the three people present could not help but chuckle, amused. In an instant, the previous stiffness and awkwardness were broken, and everyone became much more relaxed—especially Yan Yi, who could at least speak fluently now without stammering.
Fu Yi and the others nodded in agreement. After all, calling Luo Hong an adult—someone who looked to be of roughly the same age as themselves—did feel rather unnatural.
Just as she arrived at the Gu family's entrance, Gu Huizhu recalled how Gao Mumian used to keep watch in the alley on the right. Feeling a warm wave of nostalgia, she subconsciously glanced over in that direction.
Yet none of this affected the two of them in the slightest; instead, they listened to the sound of the rain outside with faces full of happiness.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What was originally thought to be a simple mission had already claimed the life of one soldier; they could not afford any more losses, especially not Lian Yu, who was the captain of the military district's special forces team.
Seeing that she agreed, Gao Ming said no more. After nodding, he ordered everyone to move out.
Chen Mo's entire body shook as his soul returned to his body. He opened his eyes and found himself still inside that pavilion.
Chen Yujie had not expected Huang Yiting to say thank you, because she believed that among friends, sharing blessings and enduring hardships together was only natural, and there was no need to say thank you.
Gu Huizhu felt a bit better and shook her head, saying, "You were the one who said you needed to stitch up the wound in the first place." This guy, lacking gentleness again.
Cui Jian only then noticed the un-dried tears lingering in Nuan Nuan's reddened eye rims. His heart was suddenly tugged, turning soft with a trace of ache. If it had been anyone else daring to speak to him like that, their career would have been over. However, Nuan Nuan was no ordinary person.
"I just bought a dress, and I'm trying it on for you to see," Luo Fei'lan said, her eyes flashing with a stunning charm that almost made Chen Mo lose himself.
"I haven't found any specific problems, but this Chu Tianyi acts far too perfectly. Is there really someone this perfect and fearless of death in this world? I don't believe it!" Dai Hongjie said.
"What about the teaching assistant? Why did he resign? Such a good job, once you quit, it's hard to get back in," a student asked, which happened to be what Shui Qing also wanted to know.
Yang Yi was pursuing Prince Meade with great joy and ease. Prince Meade's army no longer offered resistance; upon seeing him close in, they even scattered out of the way and knelt on the ground to surrender. As long as he captured Prince Meade, Yang Yi would become the King of Northern Ottoman, and then he could lead his forces to strike toward the city of Hanover.
"Yes, yes, I swear a poisonous oath." Brother Jin didn't even dare meet Huashu's eyes, feeling as though he were about to be sliced into a thousand pieces. He hadn't forgotten Huashu's background; if he truly angered him, the man would undoubtedly risk his life to the bitter end.
"Golden Hoop Buddha! Back in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, you defected to the enemy on the battlefield, truly acting without a shred of human decency. How could this poor Daoist allow you onto the Investiture of the Gods list!" Huolong stared coldly at the two and said.
Before them, a continuous burst of sparks erupted, instantly slicing through the iron armor of a row of enemies and biting deep into their flesh.
"There is a junior in our family named Xiao Yu, but his current strength is only at the peak of the eighth rank," a blue-haired man named Byrne also said coldly.
