Chapter 28

"It was never particularly difficult for him to break into the top five, and having practiced internal energy over the past few years, it is only natural that his endurance is somewhat superior to others," Elder Changsheng remarked dismissively.

Fang Yun gave a faint smile. As for this Master Wu, although Fang Yun somewhat looked down on Wu Qing's usual conduct, he still placed immense trust in his martial prowess. Otherwise, his old man would never have assigned this person to instruct him—and for several years at that. Even on this trip out of Jiangnan Dao, he had been made to accompany him.

Yet Lin Yi had actually managed to subdue him. Reflecting on his own injuries from that fateful night, Ye Yinluo felt a deep tremor within. No wonder she had been able to walk back from the very edge of death, and no wonder she had now been able to advance to the Soul Devouring realm. It turned out that all of this was thanks to Lin Yi's help.

"As expected of a former special forces sniper, to be able to open fire and shoot in such a state, and every single shot hits its target. Should I say that merely causing you to lose the Stardust Sword is far from enough?" Zhen Shifeng said with a hint of helplessness.

In less than ten minutes, a dozen Iraqi soldiers rushed to that position. Yet before their eyes, there was not even a shadow of a person left, nor a single drop of blood.

Before his voice had even faded, several more gunshots rang out in rapid succession. The bullets whistled through the Third Prince's back of the head, pierced cleanly through the hand he had pressed against the glass, and then finally flew out into the open air outside the car.

The two men flashed their figures to evade the guards and patrolling soldiers, returning to the Great Zhou military camp. They made their way to the tent where Chai Rong was stationed. The candlelight inside the tent was already extinguished; the meeting regarding tomorrow's battle had concluded, and Chai Rong had retired to rest without waiting for their return.

By the shores of Tianchi Lake, those sixteen towering and majestic peaks were radiating faint, ghostly white lusters—a magnificent scenery unfolding beside Tianchi Lake under the twilight glow. The bloody bubbles on the surface of the lake began to slowly subside, and the billowing aura of blood gradually dispersed as the chilly evening wind swept across.

Drawing closer, that light actually became less blinding. When Xie Tong finally reached the tree, only a faint layer of radiance emanated from the trunk, yet the energy pulsing from within was so intensely concentrated it felt almost indigestible.

Felt uneasy and dropped a few more words of caution, Tong Guan quickly led Zhuge Jin into the inner chambers upon hearing that the news was favorable.

"Thank you, Sister Zhang. You have always been so good to me, and I feel quite ashamed that I cannot keep going." Su Qian smiled brightly on the surface, while thinking internally: *Could that bastard Shen Yanxi possibly say anything bad about me? He is obsessed with me like some kind of psycho, it literally makes my scalp tingle.*

"It looks like sister-in-law's family has already had a falling out with Da Junzi. If they continue to live together, I think it would be better to split the family up and let everyone live their own lives," Yan Sixi took a puff of his dry tobacco pipe and said to his wife Xu Fen, who was busy working by the stove.

Yet this was simply Xie Linlin's habitual tactic. Back then, she had also approached her wearing this hypocritical and innocent human skin, putting on an act of considering her in every possible way, while behind her back, she resorted to every vicious means imaginable.

Yan Qing was pinched on the cheeks by Yan Mu, hastily broke away as if fleeing for her life, and ran out toward the courtyard while shouting for her mother.

In truth, their dancing skills were truly mediocre—nothing more than clumsily following the rhythm of the music. At the start, they stepped two paces to the left like ducks with their hands held out, then two paces to the right, followed by a shy pose.

All this money came from the store's revenue. Zhou Bingkun usually had no places to spend it; apart from buying two more courtyard houses, his daily expenses on meals and such amounted to very little.

Chen Ziyan sat perched on a tree fork, her slender legs swinging back and forth in the air, the corner of her lip hooked up in an incomparably mischievous smile.

Having said that, Gu Jiaer looked down with a trace of embarrassment at her own shoulder—which was also pressed tightly against Lu Man's.

Furthermore, they were brimming with excitement at this moment; the president and vice-president of the Martial Arts Club were about to throw down, a spectacle they had never witnessed before.

As for those students who were the proud favorites of heaven in the school, they could only remain huddled in corners at this moment, waiting to see if there was anything they could assist with.

"It is impossible for him to have any blood relation to me. Impossible!" Li Qian was truly panicking, his handsome face drained of color. He refused to believe what he was seeing and hearing right then, yet this explanation was watertight. Though he claimed with his lips not to believe it, in his heart he believed it utterly.

"That will depend on their performance. I am a very demanding person," Lei said, the corners of his mouth curving upward.

At that moment, the previously motionless Seven Treasures Soul-Locking Pagoda suddenly burst with blinding light and began to spin rapidly in a clockwise direction.

Kane watched helplessly as Uhtred's fist headed straight for his head, his body completely paralyzed under Uhtred's overwhelming aura. Just as Kane thought he was about to die at Uhtred's hands, a sharp, fierce cry suddenly echoed in his ears.

Hearing Ye Ran's words, the Sword Saint and the others could not help but look toward Qiu Xuan. Huoyun glanced at Ye Ran and said to him, "You should go; I will stay here." Huoyun could also tell how much Ye Ran longed to witness the decisive battle between Qiu Xuan and Ge Qi, but Ye Ran was worried about the safety of Heilong Province, which was why he spoke thus.

Li Ye did not refuse at all. Earth Spirit Fruit was indeed wonderful, but given Yun Weiyang's current physical condition, she could consume at most one a day. Otherwise, not only would it fail to achieve the desired effect, but it would also cause a blood flow reversal and lead to the inability to absorb such potent nourishment.

"Hello, sister-in-law," a crisp male voice rang out from directly above her. An Nianchu froze instantly and immediately cast a look of desperate help toward Qiao Chu, only to find the corner of that fellow's mouth curving into a smile that made her feel as though he was gloating over her misfortune. An Nianchu had a very bad premonition.

"Copy that, copy that. We are currently tracking the suspect's trail, give us one minute," the walkie-talkie crackled a few times before a voice came through.
