Volume 1, Chapter 57: Misty Shadow Manor

Amidst my calls, Black and White responded with its unique cry, which gave me immense encouragement. I no longer cared to kill the natives; seeing that I had stopped attacking, they fearfully cleared a path for me instead. Just as I was about to reach Black and White, some blind bastard threw a spear right at it.

As for Scarface Qiang, he was splattered right in the face with a mouthful of spit, the foul smell of alcohol rushing straight into his nostrils. Yet he could only endure it stiffly, not even daring to move an inch.

However, his plan ultimately failed. Under Lin Zhen's actions, the Blazing Dragon was completely infuriated.

In the center of the room stood a massive anvil, specially used for forging waste treasures and broken magical weapons that were difficult to smelt down. Disassembling magical items from the inside before smelting them yielded twice the result with half the effort.

His words were no simple matter; they sounded as though they came from the very end of time. Anyone hearing even a single note of it would instantly feel much older.

In 1800, the man who would later become the Emperor of the French said this at Rousseau's tomb: "It would have been better for the world if neither Rousseau nor I had ever existed." In truth, however, the premise of cause and effect traces back to that great earthquake in Lisbon.

He had never known the Ghost Emperor Cangming before, so why did this person seem to hold him in such high regard?

As it happened, the Immortal Executioner Sword popped out at that precise moment and was jointly intercepted by two emperors. It suffered two heavy blows in succession, and its sword body was sealed by ancient divine runes.

From the perspective of being occupied, the citizens of Lisbon did not particularly like the French army, but up to this point, they could hardly be said to resent them. After all, the Frenchmen they dealt with were fair in their dealings, polite in speech, friendly in attitude, and above all, strictly observant of military discipline.

Those people were shocked, hurriedly urging the wooden tokens in their hands and forcing out their own drops of vital blood to sprinkle upon them, causing brilliant divine radiances to instantly light up around them.

Replaced by him, would he not use a magical treasure to forcefully withstand the heavenly tribulation? Such a question had never even crossed his mind.

Witnessing these sights, not only was the True Phoenix shocked, but even the caster, the ancient ancestor of the Xiao family, wore a look of utter astonishment. These visions were not conjured by him, but formed quite naturally.

Even a clay figurine has three parts of temper; did they really take Chu Feng to be a soft persimmon, to be kneaded however they pleased?

Originally, he estimated that once Yang Xian obediently returned the land, he could still enjoy a few days of leisure, but then he thought that Yang Xian would likely deal with those corrupt officials and greedy magistrates in an extreme manner.

The Kunlun God King wore a calm expression, fearless of everything. His fists tore through eternity, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color in an instant.

However, if a professional with a discerning eye or profound expertise in bizarre formations were to look at the placement of these seven giant peaks, they would surely be astounded. The arrangement of these seven towering peaks was identical to the positions of the stars in the Big Dipper.

In Song Family Village, there was a massive estate covering more than twenty mu of land, which belonged to Song Jiang. There were five brothers in the Song family, named Song Hai, Song He, Song Jiang, Song Qing, and Song Huai. Song Jiang was the third. Three of the five brothers did not live to adulthood, leaving only Song Jiang and his younger brother Song Qing as adults.

As soon as the Marquis and the others left, the Great Elder and the others started fighting again, but the Marquis did not turn back to manage the matter.

Shixi folded its twin wings and lunged with its claws, directly smashing the skulls of two cultivators. At that moment, Cheng Lin straightened his body and sprang forward fiercely, leaping straight into the air to straddle Shixi's back.

Before he could finish speaking, Long Jianfei gave a gentle push, affording Feynman no opportunity whatsoever, for he had no intention of listening to the words of a dead man.

The two of them rose and left—Yui had long since returned to Kirito's body. Along the way, all the monsters were cleared out by Kirito on behalf of others, while Yuuki rested in the rear.

The nannies had been sent over from the Gu family in the west city. Being his people, they naturally followed his instructions and immediately answered in unison, "Yes, Young Master." Then they began clearing away the double-happiness characters and colored ribbons.

Seeming to have barely escaped Goliath's sight at the very last moment, several members of the Ganesha Familia were tending to the wounded comrades of their familia in the nearby woods.

He knew that even if Yutong returned home, she would be unable to sleep out of worry for her grandfather, so it was better to stay here.

Liu Qingzhu was not surprised at all that Hongjun possessed such an ability; what he cared about was the statement Hongjun had just made.

After drinking this substance, Mu Li's consciousness cleared for a brief second, but before she could react, another bolt of lightning struck her.

This battle lasted for fully ten thousand years, and Liu Qingzhu himself had no idea how he managed to persist for so long. Towards the end, he even lapsed into unconsciousness while his body continued to fight purely on instinct, yet his combat prowess did not decrease at all—it actually became even more ferocious than when he was awake.

Sikong Qiushui opened her eyes with a face full of excitement, looking at her own hands to find that her skin, smooth as congealed fat, actually emitted a faint, translucent glow.

"Master treats Heiyi like his own flesh and blood. He pities her and doesn't want her to grieve, so let me be the villain!" As she spoke, Xin Qiu's expression grew increasingly solemn.

"If nothing unexpected happens, those people should be living inside that earth slope. I'll go take a look first—" Dog already held his gun in hand—not the rifle on his back, but the handgun at his waist—while his other hand gripped a dagger, armed to the teeth.

The pool water was emerald green, with ripples spreading outward in widening circles. Suddenly, those ripples dissipated and shot out like tentacles, flying to wrap around Ning Caichen, intending to bind him like a rice dumpling, wrap him in a silkworm cocoon, and drag him down into the green pool to be completely refined into bone scraps and pus. This was the true meaning of the Green Pool's Roar.

Luo An shook his head and said, "Old Qin, though I don't know why you want to cooperate with me, you certainly have your own intentions. Both you and your organization are extremely mysterious and powerful to me. Who could have guessed that the greatest force on Changning Planet is hidden underground?"

"If only our team clears the stage, doesn't that mean there's no need for the subsequent competitions?" Du Ziteng said. To be honest, he felt the difficulty of the second and third trials was such that ordinary people simply couldn't get through them.

Earth Tiger—a hundred-zhang-tall earth tiger suddenly leaped out from goodness knows where. Roar! The earth tiger roared, its voice shaking the heavens for a thousand miles and piercing the clouds. The round mirror shook violently, scattering fine specks of light like shattered jade branches pouring down onto the earth.

Liu Jinzhi and Ding Li were both powerhouses, and they could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of this black mecha.
