Chapter 56: When Did You Learn Medicine?

The mage spoke thus and drew out his wand. With a wave of his hand, a fireball rose from the wand and flew toward a truck not far away.

Zhong Han's cultivation realm was still above that of the Sealing Heaven Immortal Venerable of Lingxiao City, while Cheng Lanyun, the supreme ruler of the Lanyun Sect in the Immortal Cultivation World, stood on equal footing with the Alliance Leader of the Kunlun Immortal Alliance.

To hold this position during the rotation, unable to counterattack when assaulted, meant bearing the brunt of the onslaught entirely on one's own. He dared not leave his post even for a moment, fearing lest the other party fall victim to the attacks of the Crimson Heaven cultivators.

He might be able to flee, but what then? How would he face the pursuit of those skeletons and insects? Having already ingested those two types of drugs, would he be forced to immediately resort to the Demon's Pact in the face of pursuit? If so, how could any benefits be reaped?

Recalling what the late-stage Void-Breaking realm cultivator of Tianfang Star had once said—that Daoist Kui Mu had perished at the hands of an early-stage Void-Breaking cultivator from Tianfang Star—he had previously doubted it, but now he was compelled to believe.

As for subsequent events, Qin Gong knew nothing of them; he only knew that someone had come to this place in search of that couple. They had departed overnight, and it appeared that those who came for them must have been members of their family.

In the department where Chu Ci worked, one could view all sorts of reports submitted upward, which was why he knew far more than others.

Previously, he had seen footage online of someone jumping from a building to commit suicide and landing on a passing pedestrian. Falling from more than twenty stories, the victim's cervical spine was instantly snapped, suffering a compression fracture of the spine, with the neck driven completely into the chest cavity, leaving not even a chance for emergency resuscitation.

Grand Eunuch Wang carefully examined the spot pointed out by Jian Bai where Duan Lang's biological signature had vanished. Indeed, it was identical to everywhere else; not even a rat hole could be found, let alone an opening through which a person could enter.

The dual-colored sword glare faltered for a fraction of a second upon striking the scales, but then it directly cleaved through the thorn-like scales and slashed downward. The five-meter-long body was cut into two halves, dying without a sound, not even a painful roar escaping its lips.

Had Noble Lady Sun been a rare beauty, he surely would have been dazzled at the sight. Even if he did not favor her tonight, it would have brought a sense of sudden brilliance, etching her image in his heart.

Grand Magician Canstra hesitated not a moment. With a clap of his hands, one magic array after another materialized around him in the blink of an eye, visible to the naked eye.

That apparatus was wrapped in countless steam pipes, and every gap in the steam pipes emitted a piercing whistle—the heavy, labored panting from the lungs of the Japanese people who had poured their heart's blood and even sacrificed their lives to build this city.

Furthermore, Consort Xue could no longer bear children, and Noble Lady Zhou had harbored neither past grievances nor recent enmities with her. What benefit would harming Noble Lady Zhou's life bring her?

Liu Yuling had assumed that Cao Kun was calling specifically to inquire about property prices, so the moment she picked up, she eagerly shared the good news that prices had already surged fivefold.

A sweet taste instantly filled her mouth, and Shen Wu said, "When did you hide these candies? Are there any left?" Give one to Xu Yin.

Before the rest of the Lu family had even stepped through the doors, they heard Shen Wu making a fuss about refusing to cook. While others wanted to investigate the cause and effect, Sixth Master Lu felt as though the sky were collapsing upon hearing it.

If she had wanted to preserve her chastity unto death, she would have done so when captured by bandits, and need not have spent ten thousand taels of silver.

Alstr of Thunder Light City wore an expression as gloomy as water. Gazing at the meager force of just over two thousand soldiers under Chen Shou of Emerald Ridge before him, he simply did not dare to attack.

Neither favored concubines nor noble concubines could be casually sold off. If divorced, they were entitled to take away their own clothing, private savings, and dowry.

As long as he could achieve his own objective, that was all that mattered; if anyone was to be blamed, let it be that Fengghuang Wu happened to cross his path.

In truth, Yang Tianbo's temperament was strikingly similar to that of his father—whenever matters of principle were involved, he always stubbornly insisted on sticking to his guns to the bitter end.

Heh! Just obediently let yourself be caught in my trap and confess! And thus, the old eunuch was cajoled and tricked by the Ming Martial Emperor into spilling the entire truth of yesteryear in one breath.

Poison refined from the "Thousand-Branch Grass" plant—I had previously seen this poison in the bedchamber of Empress Zhuangsu.

Seeing that he was unharmed, the rogue grew increasingly daring and began to swagger openly through the streets.

The collision between the stream of light and the long spear erupted with formidable might, yet Yang Hao did not retreat a single step, standing firmly and steadfastly upon the earth.

Sifeng quietly gazed into Zhu Houzhao's eyes, eagerly yearning for him to say to her—"Forgive me, Feng'er, I can no longer let you remain Empress! I must welcome back my faithful wife of humble origins!" And then, she would be able to part with a tearful voice, making a graceful exit and bidding him farewell.

The moment Chen Yan's voice trailed off, a loud explosion sounded across Xu Chuan's face. Immediately afterward, Xu Chuan was seen sitting on the ground with a blackened face, his hair smoking from the blast.

Realizing that no amount of bargaining could alter the reality by even a fraction, they figured it was better to accept reality cleanly and maintain an optimistic outlook. As long as they endured this period, high official posts, generous salaries, fine wine, and beautiful women were all awaiting them.

In the eyes of "Li Fengfeng," the procuress was a pernicious creature. Therefore, she felt no obligation whatsoever to bestow upon her a pure and benevolent heart, especially since the procuress had no conscience to begin with.

In truth, it was not merely the Dafan Empire; other base cities possessing guardian beasts were also beginning to undergo this transformation. It was simply that their guardian beasts were not as powerful as Chu Lin and could not achieve such a thorough, one-voice transformation as Chu Lin had accomplished.
