Chapter 28
There were even many who still lacked the torment of the torture devices, and at that moment, they cried out in despair.
Moreover, the Blink Step is an incredibly high-class ability. Think about it carefully: when someone attacks you, your figure vanishes, and then you instantly appear behind them, lightly saying, "Too slow." Isn’t that incredibly cool?
One must admit, these two middle-aged men truly have remarkable temperaments. Since the boy started making a fuss, they haven’t uttered a single word or even glanced at him.
It should be noted that although the Ji Corporation began to decline after that upheaval, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. Despite losing the throne as the richest in M Country, a century-old foundation cannot be destroyed overnight.
Although Ye Shirou did not know what Zhang Haifeng had said to Liang Luo inside the soundproof barrier, given her sharp intellect, she could guess the general content.
Everyone was foul-smelling, so no one noticed anything unusual about Karen’s scent. Early the next morning, the prison door was opened, and two burly men came in to seize a groggy Karen and leave. No one dared to resist inside the cell; otherwise, they would face brutal whipping, beaten beyond recognition.
Joanna and Helen share many similarities: both are beautiful, highly skilled in martial arts, and exceptionally intelligent. Yet their personalities differ—one is open-minded, the other prone to overthinking.
Feng Liming cast a subtle glance at Nan Wan, who was on the phone, laughing and chatting—a sign she was likely not angry.
Marshal Marcel of Ester City repeatedly apologized to Kelly, fully aware of the heavy losses suffered by the Eastern Expeditionary Army and fearing that the Sixth Princess might take her anger out on him.
Li Hu, holding a wooden stick, chuckled slyly twice before approaching the carriage and releasing the horses that had been bound for a long time.
Though it cannot be confirmed that the Chu family is the hub of human traffickers, suspicion falls heavily upon them.
A group of King-sealed warriors appeared in midair in the distance, followed by another group emerging in another part of the sky.
Huangfu Yuan saw her allow him unimpeded entrance into her meridians and into her dantian; he realized the trust she placed in him.
He lifted her at the waist, sat down, and wrapped his arms around Xuewu’s supple waist, letting her straddle his lap.
In the silent and terrifying forest, the moonlight was completely blocked by bizarrely growing branches. From the depths of the woods came intermittent howling winds, mingled with whispers as if from the underworld.
Jiang Yuan and his companions were pushed to the roadside by the crowd; people surrounded them on all sides, leaving no room to move even an inch.
“Master Qiao, do you have any luggage? Hand it all to me! Don’t tire yourself!” Zhang Zecheng said, flattering with a smile.
After thirty-one households each paid their dues, they were led by Feng Jun and Feng Bing to Yan Chengdong’s company.
Chen Xiao frowned deeply, sensing a powerful aura rushing toward him—an aura belonging to a Shenglong Realm expert.
“Whatever! Whatever it is, I’m heading back to camp first! Crawl around on the ground all you want!” the Dragon Knight shouted, flying away.
If one strives for progress every day, how can one fail to reach the Dao? Zhang Wei now experienced a gradual awakening of this truth.
“Heh! They even have Dharma names—just like nuns,” Mo Fan said, embarrassed. Not only did this Haitang Sect have strict closed management like a Taoist temple, but they also gave disciples Dharma names.
“So, is it a deal?” The Rakshasa smiled brightly, looking toward the void as if seeing Mo Fan as well.
Lu Qingqing was puzzled, but since Mo Lingtian said so, even if she asked now, she wouldn’t get any answers. It was better to wait until tomorrow.
Jing’er felt a subtle reaction from him and immediately shyly left his embrace, crossing her arms and giving him a secretive glare.
Regarding the stock market, analyzing probabilities, now is a time to rest since investment below 2800 requires strategic coordination.
“Hehe, the ship is ready. I wonder if you’ve all made up your minds?” Yu Yao asked with a smile, though his eyes showed no emotion.
“Maintaining peace in Red Maple City is my responsibility. Young lady, your killings are too grievous; I cannot tolerate you!” Liao Hai said, raising his head.
Perhaps heaven was angry too, for suddenly the wind rose. The mountain wind, blocked and erratic, blew the flames chaotically in all directions. The camp’s spared areas grew fewer, and some people’s armor caught fire, their screams pitiful and heart-wrenching.
According to historical records from a past life, among the Sima brothers, Liu Yong favored Sima Shuda the most—not because he was more talented; his two elder brothers were far more gifted.
The horses were unimportant, the targets of his spear irrelevant; what mattered were the eyes that now saw a figure suddenly blur, vanish, and then reappear in his line of sight.
Only that suddenly appearing, hidden, and completely traceable-free force deserved his attention. The unknown is terrifying; enemies lurking in the shadows—the ones he does not know—are the truly fearsome foes.
Not only had his body turned green from poison over ten thousand years, but even the red spiders that administered the poison changed color, crawling back and forth on their webs, unsure where their attacker was.
The ice crystal, upon touching the other’s brow, instantly transformed into a pure blue spiritual energy, flooding her body like a torrential rain, saturating every limb and bone.
“Report, General! We have just learned that Yang Ren of Hanzhong is escorting 100,000 stones of grain and supplies, currently rushing back from West City. They are eighty li from Zhang Wei’s main camp and are expected to arrive by tomorrow evening!” the scout reported immediately.
At first, his movements were very slow, pausing after each gesture. Combining the theories of the Blade Demon, he carefully thought before performing the next move.
