Eighty-Nine: I See Who Has Not Yet Evolved, Part Five
A figure drew near from afar, a familiar face, features never given to a smile. As he approached, the water around him began to boil.
His tall, slender build, upright bearing, and the expensive clothes upon him were enough to make any heart quicken.
Zhuang Yanbo stared dumbly, for it was the first time he had seen a mecha unleash such fearsome power.
Because this was a nature reserve, it had not been fully developed, and many ancient residences had been preserved.
He hurried to the inner chamber, lifted Liu Suqiao up, rested her head against his shoulder, slowly fed her the medicinal broth, then laid her back down and anxiously kept watch beside the bed, waiting for her to wake.
Shen Shengfeng braced himself against the wall and rose. In the sealed space, oxygen was fading away little by little. If they kept hiding here, before sunrise tomorrow they would surely suffocate one by one.
The two teammates were furious. With no comrades left, the two of them, already fallen to the ground, could only face death. Both of them, unable to swallow the indignity, reported Huangfu Xijue for cheating.
"Have you heard? Something utterly bizarre happened last night." A man sat cryptically at the table next to Xiao Jing and the others.
It had to be said that although this place was rather strange, and the Zhou family themselves were strange as well, their taste was not bad. The setting was antique and elegant, and it was comfortable to sleep in.
Mu Yichen looked at the part in her hand that had not yet fallen away, then helplessly lifted his eyelids and turned to the bathroom in silence.
Even though they were separated by countless miles, Mu Fan could still feel that earthshaking aura. He was secretly stunned. Just what kind of strength did that Black Nether Vine possess?
After saying that, Yu Qiyuan pulled the covers over her head in annoyance, thinking, if you were to propose to me right now, how could I possibly refuse you?
"You are a cultivator too?" Before Mu Fan could speak, the other party suddenly asked again. As he spoke, he had already appeared several paces in front of Mu Fan.
"Oh, by the way, does your beta test keep records?" Bao Bao ignored the others and asked solemnly, his hands still moving with practiced skill.
"You brat, get your ass back there and figure out where this bastard child of yours came from. At most I'll stand in for you in one or two matches," Yu Luosheng said.
It was very useful. Under the protection of this ring of whips, the bats crashed into it one after another like into reefs, and were immediately sent falling dead; even those that survived would be seriously wounded.
After what happened last night, today yet another inexplicable person appeared, harboring malice.
Chen Pan drew back his right hand, halted its momentum, and activated the Grand Stars Formation. Then, with a reversal of his wrist, he reached once more for the wine bottle in the fat man's hand.
Suddenly Hall thought of a problem. He seemed to have no points at all. And who arranged for his sister to live in Zone C?
Mengyan looked around in delight. Not only had the suffocating feeling from before vanished, but the air felt fresh and clear.
Although the strength of these people was not enough to trigger the Star Dust Shuttle's powerful shield, that did not mean they had no effect at all. With every attack, a little of the outer heavenly iron would be consumed. Little by little, it would eventually affect the number of times the shield could hold.
"It can be done, but it will take time, and our equipment has a time limit as well," one of the members said.
By then, Liang Yunru had already ordered people to prepare hot water for them to bathe, as well as steaming hot dishes.
In truth, even without the Eldest Highness granting this favor, Qin Xiao could have gone into the Bliss Palace and dragged out his enemy, Jiu.
Fortunately, after crossing over, she had also gotten lucky and brought this alchemy cauldron with her, so her blood was still the same.
"It is the Coral Unicorn," the chubby boy said at that moment. When he had still been in the egg, he had already inherited the phoenix clan's memories, so knowing many things was not surprising.
That is to say, when the soldier swung the massive saber with all his might, not only would the opposing cavalryman be split apart, but even the warhorse beneath him would be shattered as well, reduced to dust.
But Ye Junhe and Dan Chenjun had not made a move, so the crowd had no basis on which to judge the two of them.
At this moment, even the peak quasi-emperors such as Minglong had no choice but to retreat, staring helplessly at all this. In fact, that altar was a contingency left behind by the Ghost Clan Emperor; if anything unexpected happened in the future, it could summon the emperor's return in advance.
"How many cultivators can this place hold altogether?" Feng Fan said casually as he took out ten pieces of superior crystal jade and handed them to the cultivator guarding the staircase entrance.
"The chance to kill those two was just lost. What a pity!" The late Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Ling family glared resentfully at his cousin and said bitterly.
Tang Cheng's mind seemed as though it had been pierced clean through in a single stroke, leaving only blinding light and blankness. Jialika had actually been in the Main God Space for one hundred thousand years. One hundred thousand years. One hundred thousand years truly was far too long; so long that even Tang Cheng was stunned when he heard the number.
Buwei shook her head in terror. "I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it—"
Xiuyuan pulled Buwei into his arms at once. In any case, the dead man was already gone. Looking at Yi Liang's expression at the moment of death, Xiuyuan was filled with astonishment.
"Damn it, what's wrong with you?" Guai San was truly a little angry, and blurted out a habitual curse.
Ye Ge followed the sound and looked toward the entrance of the hall, where he saw a giant of a man stride in, with a beard and sharply arched brows, accompanied by two subordinates with stern, sword-like brows. His steps were steady and powerful, and he carried himself with considerable presence.
"What now? Those two don't suit your taste? Or did they not serve you well?" Zhu Gaochi asked, looking at Ye Ge with a somewhat angered expression. Beneath his mild face lurked a trace of killing intent.
Within the courtyard of Listening Rain Pavilion, the peach blossoms that had once bloomed in lavish excess were now drooping in defeat, withered; their fiery petals were sifting down in the autumn wind, blanketing the ground as though silently mocking someone's decline.
After Yi Liang broke through the door and fled, his father had concealed the matter from the start, believing that family disgrace should not be aired in public. But now, with fear that his son might truly be lost, what else could he be doing but going after that fox demon? At once he no longer wished to hide it. He rushed out to find Mao Chun, and when he entered in a fluster, he had not expected Xiuyuan to be there as well.
Tang Lu'er let out a breath, steeled herself, and then had the attendant beside her lead the way to Plum Hall.
All the way fleeing to Linchuan Prefecture, he had taken to the roads as an outlaw, and this life as a bandit had gone more smoothly than he had ever imagined, even more to his liking than when he had served as an instructor in the Imperial Guard.
