19 The Nineteenth Iron Pillar

The next day, Red Wolf slapped Grey Wolf twice, expressing her extreme fury that her husband had left no mutton for her. Looking at the scattered bones and scraps of meat on the floor, she was so incensed that she forced Grey Wolf to kneel on a washboard for the entire day.

"Where did you get this knife?" Lu Yan asked, pulling the knife he had bought from the black bag he was carrying.

Almost instantly, the Blind Monk followed up with a second-stage Resonating Strike, coordinating with Poppy to pin Aatrox to the ground. However, Aatrox, whose health bar had been depleted, did not die immediately; instead, he curled his body into a ball, enveloping himself within his blood-red wings.

The damage dealt by the combination with Sheen instantly reduced Morgana’s health by a quarter. As Morgana cast her off-cooldown Q skill, Camille soared into the air using her ultimate, Hextech Ultimatum, dodging the Q skill while simultaneously avoiding the stun effect of Morgana’s second-stage ultimate.

The two disciples, who had just been retching violently while lying on their swords, were barely clinging to life by the time they dismounted their flying blades.

"Mom, Dad, this is as far as I can take you. Please, just rest easy here. Yin-Yang Dharma King, stay here and cultivate your Buddhism properly; cleanse your body of all evil spirits, and I guarantee your merits will be immeasurable." Jiang Dong was confident that the Famen Temple was a place no ordinary ghost could enter.

"That depends on how much stock Brother Nine has on hand! I trust Brother Nine doesn’t doubt our financial strength, right?" Hearing Brother Nine’s enticement, Li Xingchen replied with gleaming eyes.

"Brother Jiang, please forgive us. Our chieftain has this kind of temperament—he comes and goes as he pleases. He only came out to see you because you saved his grandson. Under normal circumstances, let alone outsiders, even we in the tribe rarely get to see the chieftain," Ji Dong hurriedly explained to Jiang Dong.

Putting aside her thoughts, the best course of action now was to leave. After all, Ying Sha knew her own limits; she was certainly no match for Ji Ziming. Especially since his internal injuries seemed to have been inadvertently healed by an eighth-grade divine ability when she fell into that bottomless pit, making the situation even more troublesome.

The boy sweeping the floor remained unmoved, not even lifting his eyelids. His gaze was indifferent as he looked at the tall youth.

With his arm hanging from a branch and his mucous membranes constantly oozing blood, he vaulted out of the dense forest. Disregarding the astonished looks of the men behind him, he vanished quickly with a few soldiers following in his wake.

Situ Ling continued to explain, "As for the talk of wanting the cousin to be the prince consort, just take it as a joke. Although the Emperor dotes on her, he would not let her act recklessly."

Under Davis’s momentary distraction, he watched as Luo Wudiao grabbed a stool and threw it toward the guard. Davis then watched as the stool struck the guard, sending him flying several meters away; he hit the ground, utterly lifeless.

Loki’s ranks of corrupted superheroes and supervillains grew ever larger, and his influence expanded, flourishing like flowers and blazing like fire. It seemed he would soon defeat all resistance and truly rule the Earth.

"Do it!" As soon as Miyazaki River finished speaking, he leaped off the giant rock and sprinted toward Blake and Qi Jingyu.

"Isn't that the truth? Before, we had to go work far away and couldn't take care of home. Now that there's work in the village and we can come home at night, what’s wrong with that? It’s simply wonderful," Aunt Niu added.

After a fierce argument with his father, Fu Hongguang—who had given his sisters away to others—he decided to return to the mountain gate to continue his cultivation, striving to finish his training early and become a pillar of support for his sisters.

The problem was that he wasn't unconscious; he could feel everything, he simply couldn't react.

But Qu Lanshen couldn't figure it out: if that were the case, why did she insist on him staying at the hotel?

It was a mace with a head as large as a human skull; one could easily imagine the result of being struck by it.

Relying on the superiority of their weapons, the enemy issued the order to attack while still at a distance from Wangzhen Town, hoping to use a barrage of arrows to safely escort their vanguard troops to the city walls.

Then there was the finger technique of Baoxiang Temple. These fake monks specialized in striking weapons; with their immense finger strength, few could hold onto their weapons once struck. Furthermore, they constantly made "hissing" sounds, making them the primary source of noise on Mount Hua.

"You'll know when you're meant to know," Vermouth laughed. "Tell Gin that the police are running around everywhere, and he should just stay in the base and watch the show." She then smirked, "As for the rest, if you aren't afraid of Gin killing you on the spot, feel free to tell him directly." With that, she hung up the phone with a loud laugh.

There, unlike other parts where countless shadows churned, it was smooth, as if someone had wiped the shadows away.

Martin’s eyes widened as he stared at Wu Haoming, but the scene of Wu Haoming being hit that he had anticipated did not occur.

Pao Tianming was stunned; such bonds were likely only to be found in a game. He couldn't help but look back at the other three and send a message: "What should we do? Should we kill them or not?"

The army pursued them to Wuguo City. Wu Ting knew he had initially fulfilled the task entrusted to him by His Majesty, so upon the army's arrival, he ordered them to lay siege to the city.

After a gentle peck, she snatched the remote control from Bei Hai’s hand, immediately gripped it with her claws, flapped her wings, and tossed it into a nearby trash can.

"Is that so? I don't know," Shen Yuexin said, placing the vegetables back into her bowl before smiling and picking up a piece of meat.

Of course, beyond fear, the anger and resentment of being defeated twice were deeply etched into the Black Knight’s heart, making him harbor an intense hatred for the skeletal undead.

When he opened his eyes and saw that black figure before him, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but it vanished into calmness within a moment.

However, whether it was the attacks on Laurie or the attacks on Lis, they were all blocked by Lis using his bow and arrows, leaving the assailants to watch helplessly as Laurie closed the distance between them.
