The moment Xing Tiehaotian saw the magic sword take shape, he immediately produced a massive hammer. Golden light flashed brilliantly from it. He swung it in his hand, and with a blur of his body, countless afterimages appeared. Whiz, whiz, whiz—the shadows rose one after another and began pounding the sharp sword floating in midair. Sparks burst in every direction, while the clanging shook the heavens.

Mu Wanrou looked deeply reluctant, but she still left Mo Tian’s embrace. Although she did not care whether she was a princess of the elves, nor did she wish to be a princess at all, now that the truth had been revealed, she still had to maintain some decorum.

After returning from the State of Yan, Huang Xie had already found Qu Yuan’s whereabouts. Having discovered that someone indeed intended to harm Qu Yuan, he could not set his mind at ease and escorted him all the way back to the capital. Crown Prince Heng was at a critical juncture, and upon hearing that Huang Xie had returned, he hurriedly summoned him to the palace, consulting him on everything.

When I entered the room, I was stunned. Wang Ying lay quietly on the bed, completely motionless, as though she were asleep. I rushed over and touched her. My heart trembled—the body of Wang Ying had already gone cold.

Zheng Jiayue and I followed Yu Qian’s gaze, and sure enough, a bus came driving toward us.

It came back to the same point: he had crossed into an era that was simply too late, and there were hardly any more truly outstanding masterpieces to be found.

Shu Qi was so frightened that he dropped to his knees with a thud, yet he dared not admit that his delicate skin and tender flesh were afraid of the heat. In truth, he could not understand how a nobleman like Mi Rong could plunge his hand into such scalding water without the slightest reaction. It was not that Mi Rong felt nothing, either—he had clearly tested the temperature before applying it to Ying Ji’s knee.

Mo Tian’s doubts only deepened. The Red-Bladed Man had such a cold personality, so why was he being so respectful toward the Chief Steward?

Yet just when Wan Qingfeng and Black Fiend believed victory was firmly in their grasp, another change suddenly occurred. Wangcai abruptly spat more than a dozen unidentified objects from its mouth.

Before Ye Shanghan could finish speaking, Xiang Wanyi’s phone suddenly rang. Since it was connected to the car’s Bluetooth, Ye Shanghan, sitting in the passenger seat, could see the two words “Heavenly Sound” displayed on the dashboard screen.

For this reason, dark magic was also known as forbidden magic, and had once been universally outlawed by the humans of the entire continent.

Before I had time to share my wild speculation with Mu Weiwei beside me, the group had already followed the white-furred fire rat’s tracks into a scorching sea of sand mixed with charred earth.

After eating into the afternoon, Li Yu left the Pei residence. Before he departed, Pei Ji promised that he would attend court the next day.

“Put your back into it!” Li Yu’s voice was not loud, yet every sound, every note, struck Yuchi Jingde’s ears. It seemed as though thunder were roaring inside them, leaving his mind utterly blank.

Luo Lin had taken only a few steps when he heard hurried cries from behind. Turning around, he saw the owner of the grocery shop rushing after him.

“Xueyi, those men are Lord Li’s soldiers, aren’t they?” Zhang Liang stared greedily at the pistol hanging from Li Xueyi’s waist as he asked.

Iron Egg was the distant nephew of Qian Bawan. With his sharp mouth and simian features, he would seize every opportunity to cause trouble at Ye Shanghan’s agricultural base, as elusive and troublesome as a rat.

Jinyu: I once saw a parent let a child play on a phone simply to coax him into stopping his tantrum.

When Uncle Gesang spoke of these tribal rumors, he merely touched upon them briefly. After all, what he truly cared about was the root of the conflict between the two sides.

He wanted to use the family staff to kill his son, but his wife clasped her arms around him and begged desperately, leaving Huang Piaozhou hesitant and unable to decide. Because of that moment’s wavering, his wife found an opportunity during the night to release their son, allowing him to escape.

In any case, I had prepared myself mentally long ago. This journey was bound to be full of danger and hardship, and I could not let everyone else suffer because of me.

I bought a soft-seat ticket. The journey from here to our destination would take an entire day; if I had taken a hard seat, I would have been worn to death.

The moment Tang Feng finished speaking, Dulu stopped hesitating. He dropped to one knee, raised his hand, swore an oath, and offered Tang Feng his oath-blood.

He knew that Feng Yun had begun trying to accept him as her leader. Of course, that did not mean Feng Yun was easily deceived. It was mainly because Tang Feng understood young people so well and knew how to appeal to their interests.

Since this was the outskirts, the area consisted mostly of woods apart from a few dozen bungalows. Most of the people living there were migrant workers, and many of them had work at night, so they might not return home. As a result, the muffled sound did not draw anyone out to investigate.

“It won’t take your life, but if you disobey, you will not receive the antidote,” Su Nan said solemnly. He had nothing else on him that could pass for poison, so he had no choice but to use an energy agent instead. At the same time, Su Nan drew a laser pistol in case the man fought back.

With Zhou Jian still alive and Tang Guiyi controlling Shaozhou, who else in the southwest possessed enough strength to move against Zhuang Feng?

Tang Feng trusted York completely. Though he was already advanced in years, he was never slow or muddled in his work. He was truly a first-rate butler.

Lu Xiu’er had now grown into a graceful young woman, almost certainly the prettiest person in the camp. Her beauty often attracted the hungry eyes of wolves, and she had consequently come to detest those filthy men—her master excepted.

His consciousness continued spreading outward, sweeping past the armies marching rapidly inward on both sides of the transport vehicles, and passing over the towns scattered across the marshlands.

In the eyes of those Earth-tier experts, it took no more than a blink for seven figures to appear within their field of vision.

They spent money, effort, and time merely to savor that single bite from atop the floating ice, sliding it into their mouths and letting its delicacy touch their tongues. Anyone who was not a true gourmet would probably find it difficult to understand them. Wu Fan could not entirely understand them either; he was only half a food lover, but he did not mind joining them.

“Old Master Sun?” Hua Tian was slightly astonished when he saw the old man. What kind of treasure could be worth Old Master Sun personally making the journey?

A trillion pounds would have been enough to wreak havoc in Heaven, turning the Celestial Court upside down. Yet it still could not compare with Baili Han. After all, that man had destroyed the spiritual ley lines, causing spiritual energy to grow ever thinner until, in later generations, no one could ascend to immortality.

But this fellow was not issuing an ordinary order. There was a flavor of vengeance, humiliation, and provocation in it—and that was unacceptable, because accepting it would amount to admitting defeat.

Once the black robes fell from their bodies, the battle suits beneath were revealed before He Zheng’s eyes. They were skintight garments made in one piece, complete with coverings for their heads.

After He Zheng discovered how to use the free attribute points belonging to his supernatural abilities, he began to grow stronger at an astonishing speed under the pressure of his surroundings. Yet his perception of this world also became increasingly unreal. At times, he even felt that the entire world was false.

Xiuxiu nodded. To be honest, she envied Jiang Xi and was even somewhat jealous of her. But Jiang Xi was right about everything. For all these years, Xiuxiu had never slept peacefully for even a single day. Whenever she felt abdominal pain, she assumed she was pregnant, leading to no small number of amusing incidents.
