Volume 1, Chapter 35: Delivering the Final Blow
A sudden tolling of bells rang out, leaving Tao Niang and Li Yu frozen in their tracks as they looked toward the mountain gate.
"Is Mother Snow well?" Li Mo asked politely on the road. After meeting again, shouldn't one inquire about her mother?
"The dishes are served. I must have a good meal. I've been locked up for nearly half a month, eating nothing but abnormal food. Now that I'm finally liberated, I can at last eat something normal!" Kou Qingtong drooled at the delicious delicacies on the table and began to sweep through them.
However, Qi Fan felt that this form of address was alright; compared to the "Brother Qi" from earlier, this "Big Brother Qi" actually sounded more normal.
Seeing the withered Evil-Fire Monk slump to the ground, Flower Fox and Duan Yun felt as if they had been struck by a heavy blow, yet at this moment, they dared not utter a single word.
From the roof of the carriage came lazy laughter. A young man in white leaned against a support in an extremely "elegant" posture, holding a wine jar and taking a gulp from time to time.
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xie Shirui felt a bitter knot in her heart. Even though Xia Shiguang had treated him so poorly, Gu Chen had not said a single word against her to anyone else.
"Sister Liu, you are truly too soft. She is just a bully who picks on the honest. Why don't you kick her out? Why save her face? You let her take your things, and she treats you like a spineless coward."
If they hadn't stored up grain in the early years, they would have hit rock bottom in this battle alone. But even if they hadn't hit rock bottom, there wasn't much left.
Black Fiend rubbed his fingertips together, carefully considering the plan. The mere thought of publicly executing a Kunwu sword cultivator, gaining the worshipful gazes of the demonic host, and leaving Kunwu unable to hold him accountable made his blood boil with excitement.
Himiko opened her mouth and bit down on Himikogo’s palm, exerting such force that she bit clean through. Himikogo, in a fit of rage, drew his sword to strike, and only then did Himiko truly ascend.
An incense stick of time later, the scouts returned safely, every one of them accounted for. The scouts who had infiltrated the main camp brought back shocking news: the camp was completely empty.
"Hehe!" Yuan Shao grinned again. "Brother Yu, you're scolding me? If you and Nannan had a child, let's see who ends up coaxing it."
Before the words had faded, a large bay horse charged out from the ranks of the New Army for the Protection of the State. The rider on its back raised a long blade and roared: "Halt, you shameless thief! How dare you bluster with such arrogance? I shall trade a few blows with you, and I will make you lose with total conviction!"
The middle-aged woman’s face was covered in tears and snot, perfectly illustrating the saying: she was in such pain that she was crying her eyes and nose out.
But that night, no abnormalities occurred. They kept watch until the sky grew bright, and not a single person came to cause trouble.
At this moment, he was coldly scanning the three people before him, as if he had already deemed them dead men.
The lean man’s eyes were stung with intense pain from the large amount of powder He Lang had thrown, and he lunged toward He Lang like a madman.
Previously, Zhan Zhaohua had been following closely behind him; how could the person have vanished in the blink of an eye?
"Is that why you were so determined to launch a fierce attack?" Tito looked at Jiang Wuming, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Without Zhao Xin’s interruptions, I slept quite well and woke up before seven o'clock the next morning.
But how could I ensure the preservation of Li Shun's body? How could I restore the vital signs of Li Shun's body? Back then, I relied on the help of the sword spirit, and my soul remained within my own body, which allowed my physical form to be preserved.
But Chang Baxian was cunning after all. He distinguished our footsteps from the sound of the rain, turned his head in astonishment, and saw us.
"Heh heh, I’d like to see what kind of price it can fetch at auction." Smiling, Yang Tian suddenly remembered that he still had eight Heavenly King Treasure Heart Pills. If he saw any treasures he liked, he might as well trade them for blood stones.
Suzhou is not like Beijing; the real estate market may look prosperous on the surface, but in reality, it is quite sluggish.
Winning the championship twice in a row, this Beidou family seems to have some real skill—they are a rising force.
A monstrous blood aura whistled out, piercing the heavens and the earth, instantly shattering the tides descending from the void with terrifying ferocity.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Linda was surprised to discover that the expression on Jing Jian’s face seemed... as if... he was pitying Cowell and herself?
Inside the Ancestral Dragon Ring, Yang Tian practiced for a while, bringing his spirit and energy to their peak, and slowly opened his eyes. Just as he was about to ask Yang Xiao something, he suddenly remembered something.
At that moment, Yang Tian recalled the complete skeleton he had obtained from the ruins of the Danxuan Sect. The sect leader of the Danxuan Sect was indeed a great figure; his bones should be of exceptional quality.
"The Star Alliance’s actions are truly detestable to both gods and men. This time, we must expose them for all to see. When the time comes, all domains will join in condemnation, and I’d like to see how the Star Alliance can survive," Yun Lang sneered.
Liang Hao knew that Old Man Yuan clearly disliked Wushuang City; if he was willing to go back, it must have been because Lin Yuexian had done something to influence him.
Suddenly, he found that Li Yilin didn't seem so annoying after all—of course, it would be even better if she didn't pester him.
It is only once every thousand years, during these two full moons, that the gates of the underworld open. Once these two days pass, one must wait another thousand years for the moon to be full again.
Under the gauze curtains, the hazy silhouette of a figure, and that dainty, willow-like waist, were enough to drive those men to madness.
On a field of withered yellow grass, Liu Yi and his party walked slowly. This was their seventh day out of the Void Realm, and they had already entered the depths of the Mixian Secret Realm.
On the school avenue, some children clung to their parents' legs, unwilling to take a single step toward the school.
"I can! Whatever the test is, I can do it!" Xia Kefei didn't wait for Li Zhongshuo to finish before rushing to answer. Li Zhongshuo decided not to bother telling her the rest of what he had to say.
Why did these tragic events keep happening to her one after another? Had she done something wrong?
During the meal, the topic of doing business came up again. Ban Xi was proficient in military strategy, but when it came to such taxing and intricate matters, he simply spread his hands, becoming a useless general.
