Chapter 47: Brother and Sister Reunited
Now that two formations had been broken, eight remained, clearly requiring another eight people to be sent to their deaths. This inevitably kept the hearts of the remaining few hanging with dread.
"I'll go wrap things up. The token to this trial ground has already been given to you, so you can come and go as you please." Chu Ge chuckled, and with those words, he vanished on the spot.
Overjoyed, Xiao Qing bought every single outfit she had tried on. Given her status and influence, none of the boutique owners dared to charge her much. Afterward, she dragged Wei Ya along to try on clothes as well. Initially, Wei Ya offered some resistance, but she could never withstand Xiao Qing's persistence and was eventually pulled into the fitting room.
Chu Xuan's heart sank. An arrogant opponent was not terrifying; the truly terrifying ones were calm and collected. And right now, what he was facing was precisely a calm and composed individual.
However, these monsters were extremely tanky; they could be kicked back and forth yet simply refused to die. With Wang Mu's weapon damage nearing 200, it took five or six kicks on average for any given monster to finally go down.
Gu Yanan decided to return to the crematorium to ask the staff whether anyone had ever taken anything from Wang Youcai's clothes.
Chu Xuan stepped out of his hospital bed, preparing to visit the still-unconscious campus belle and senior student, Zhou Duo'er. Well, what could he do? As a young man, certain temptations were simply irresistible. He genuinely just wanted to help out—ordinary medical science was simply useless against true possession.
The underground den producing and selling counterfeit alcohol was raided and dismantled by the police, and the fake liquor circulating in the market was seized one by one by the food and drug administration authorities.
"No grudges between us? Does Deputy Instructor Xue really want me to spell it out? If you want people not to know, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. Please conduct yourself accordingly!" Feng Jiu cast a cold glance at him and ignored him completely.
With an angry roar, Xiao Feng suddenly jerked his head up and fiercely charged forward headfirst into the elite warrior expert before him.
The current losses were still far from reaching their limit and would continue to escalate. Unless one side was thoroughly defeated and driven out of Luoyang City, it would not end; otherwise, it would never stop.
Yang Daxing fully displayed his terrifying and formidable prowess. Possessing supreme talent, he truly stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid among the younger generation.
Because of Zhu Tianpeng's Seven-Star Spear, the Mad Bull felt wary and dared not act rashly, adopting a defensive stance right from the start of the battle, which made him appear somewhat passive. If his opponent were a seasoned ranger with exquisite combat skills, the momentum would only grow smoother and more fierce with every exchange, potentially driving the Mad Bull into a desperate corner and securing victory.
Yet upon receiving this Star Origin Pill, Zhu Ting was utterly shaken in her heart. This was, after all, a supreme-grade-one imperial pill. The other party had not only saved her life but also bestowed such a pill upon her; she truly had no idea how to repay him.
"Old man, if you say one more word, you can stay right here and draw circles on the ground by yourself," Fang Yi said coldly.
As it turned out, having too deep of an emotional attachment was not necessarily a good thing, as getting away was not so easy. However, if the emotional attachment was too shallow, one would die so thoroughly that not even dust would be left behind, let alone having the chance to lie down in peace.
The ninth layer was brimming with fortune, teeming everywhere with exuberant vitality, and consequently home to rare spirit beasts and precious medicinal herbs.
The half-length halberd that had suddenly emerged in mid-air was struck right at its tip and, like a serpent's tongue, was retracted once more.
Seeing the expressions of anger on Zheng Shaoyang and the others' faces, Fang Yi's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he suddenly let out a silent chuckle, which instantly provoked Zheng Shaoyang and his associates all over again.
"If he really is Zou Chao, then how on earth did he die? And where is his body?" Mo Chen immediately raised two crucial questions: if Zou Chao, who had been conducting research together with him, had tragically passed away, then had the missing Sun Zhen met the same tragic fate?
Excited and thrilled, Qin Hao sat there, repeatedly pulling the conversation back from straying off-topic and successfully shifting the battlefield of hostility onto those so-called experts.
This should have been an intensely fierce battle, yet it ultimately devolved into the most ordinary duel of martial arts. Admittedly, their cultivation techniques were among the finest in the world. But at the point of utter exhaustion, it could only revert to physical combat. And Zhang Junbao could only lie flat on the surface of the water, watching the final outcome unfold.
"Quickly invite the Grand Champion General into the hall." Li Shiping could no longer sit still; he stood up from the dragon throne and paced back and forth.
The room had been sealed off, transforming it into a closed chamber. The sweepers might have already broken in.
Now, having Li Shimin ask this question with such an expression meant that the matter was far from being normally troublesome.
"How about this? Let Master Gu Hong advance, and let Cao Guang advance as well, but do not make his medicinal formula public. That way, we can preserve the dignity of the Pill Sage, which benefits both parties." In the end, Nangong Yong came up with a win-win solution.
Amidst the swirling turmoil of the outside world, Li Daoran once again left Haichao City entirely by himself and traveled to the moon.
Of course, without the soul-stirring, seven-times-a-night romantic bliss with his fourth sister—desperately pouring forth her essence through Yin-Yang dual cultivation for mutual complementation and rapid advancement—Huo Bao could never have progressed with such miraculous speed.
One must realize that Qing Ning was merely a peak expert among Bronze Kings, and far above him stood numerous giant-tier powerhouses.
Zhou Kun took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself and maintain an ordinary state of mind toward the wife who had shared life's hardships with him through thick and thin.
What happened in between is something we cannot know; perhaps this was precisely when the wounds on Elder Lu's body appeared.
That book was originally a gift given by an ancestor of the Dragon Clan to an immortal cultivator, though he had no idea how it ended up in Wang Zi's hands.
Watching Mo He's departing figure, Mo Zhengping gave a slight sigh and muttered to himself, "There is a road to heaven which you refuse to take, yet you barge into hell where there are no doors."
After ending her call with Wen Jiuling, Xue Ruyi looked up Lu Huai'an's phone number from her contacts list.
Turning his head, Li Mie saw Qian Fugui peeking sideways at Leng Hanyuel, only to be glared back by her. Qian Fugui forced a sheepish smile and motioned for his subordinates to lead the way ahead.
"I thought you liked winning. Aren't you happy even after winning?" The man, whose face was plastered with sticky notes as a penalty for losing, rolled his eyes secretly.
Zhan Sijin wore a vibrant pink dress that brought out her complexion. Though she wore no makeup, she had applied a touch of lipstick.
Wen Jiuling's legs weren't very strong. After carrying her for a short distance, his legs began to give way, and his stamina could no longer keep up.
Because this lethal poison came and went unpredictably without a trace, Li Mie gave the toxin in his body a name: Blood Venom. As blood circulated, the Blood Venom constantly looped through his body; the moment Li Mie experienced any emotional fluctuation, the Blood Venom would begin to wreak havoc.
