17 The Prime of Life

Zuo Tongtian’s left palm curled into a claw, while his right hand formed a fist, striking out. The whooshing sound of wind accompanied the surge of palm force, prompting Ashui and Uncle Shu to quickly retreat.

The night grew clearer, the moonlight gradually shedding its golden cloak. The pure white gentle hands cupped the scattered clear radiance, disturbing the silence that blanketed the ground. Birdsong began to echo softly through the mountains, weaving an endless tapestry of dawn.

“Hmph, do you think I fear such things? I have the Memory Jade.” With that, he drew a jade piece from within his clothes.

A majestic wooden tower, simple and ancient, stood firmly here. It was constructed from countless divine woods—tall trees, bamboo, wutong, ancient sandalwood, and more than ten thousand varieties.

Lu Tianchong’s red hair shone brilliantly, harmonizing with the surrounding apricot blossoms. His body was short and stout, rolling forward like a ball.

Protected by a spiritual shield, bone shield, and sword veil—three layers of defense—Yuan Feng, a true master, felt a slight relief. Yet, standing so close, the suffocating pressure from the giant sword continuously pressed down on him.

Though information from the Jin’gang City investigator was restricted from other districts of equal rank, there’s no wall in the world that doesn’t leak.

Mu Fengyin, who usually guarded his image and rarely showed a cold face on camera, was truly stern now—not for any other reason but because Cen Yu’s situation was genuinely perilous.

This technique was taught to me by my younger sister Lin Xiao; I never imagined it would become a ghostly skill in the game.

As the Azure Flame Against Heaven Wheel merged into the gray-black cloud mass, the flickering silver lights within the cloud gathered toward where the flame had plunged.

Xia Haitong wiped the sweat from her brow. She could handle things for now, but who knew what might happen if she stayed longer? It was already five minutes past eight. Why hadn’t Ye Chengzhi arrived yet? Could something have happened to him?

In a moment, a gentle breeze swept by. Petals of various apricot blossoms drifted down reluctantly from the branches, mingling and entwining with the swirling willow fluff, tumbling gracefully into the spring water below.

“Follow me, no one will harm you.” The voice was sweet, soft, and magnetic, leaving Ling Yu with no trace of resistance. This voice felt unfamiliar—whose could it be? It certainly wasn’t Jin Ling’er! Then… she wasn’t Jin Ling’er.

A tremendous force passed through the point where the weapons met. Changshan Guest’s body trembled as he summoned his fighting spirit, resisting this unbelievably heavy power. Then, gathering all his strength, he surged the fighting spirit through his meridians, channeling it into the black iron warblade he wielded.

If one had to pick the most scheming character in Song Duanwu’s team, it would undoubtedly be either Old Lai or Old Liu. But as for who was the most honest and law-abiding, apart from Li Jinghong and Zhou Yafu, the others had no objections.

There was an illusory feeling, within which lay ever-changing, ruthless moves. Man and sword as one, with thunder wings, radiating invincible dominance.

“Brother Zhan, calm down, don’t hurt our comrades’ feelings!” Song Duanwu pressed him firmly onto the bench.

Golden petals whirled and danced all around, leaving Ling Yu flustered! Jin Ling’er stepped forward to help block alongside Ling Yu. Fortunately, both Tang Dao blades were extraordinary; the two of them dodged left and right. After a clanging clash, more than a dozen petals vanished, though one still scratched Ling Yu’s arm.

When the allied members made their bet, one million gold coins was the highest they could imagine. Lucia’s claim of four to five million was considered nonsense, impossible. But now it seemed Lucia underestimated how tempting the immersion quota was to these noble families.

However, matters hadn’t escalated to the point where the Howard family’s wrath would affect the Starshine Mercenary Group—that was what Grinton and Britney had to consider.

The current Uni could be called the worst top laner in the first season. He disliked playing tank heroes and, as a tool, focused solely on his own style, showing no willingness to sacrifice for the team.

The prison was dark and damp, but compared to places Qin Dian had been, it was quite decent. Sitting cross-legged in meditation, calm and composed, he showed no sign of someone awaiting death.

Shen Lingxi slowly counted soybeans, hoping to wear down the patience of the kitchen staff watching her inspection.

The heavy sound of the door closing awakened the sound-controlled lights. He Jianchen pinned Gu Nianxi against the wall, pressing close. His large hand gripped her delicate neck, his burning gaze roaming over her beautiful face.

Not long ago, his closest kin had their heads severed here. At that time, he was gritting his teeth, vowing revenge. Now, bound and drugged, he was like a lamb awaiting slaughter. How laughable.

Lan Liuqing was a tenacious person, relentless in pursuing her goals. She trampled on her princess pride, repeatedly teasing and provoking Kun Qinglong. Even when Kun Qinglong cast insightful, embarrassing glances her way, she refused to back down.

The half of the body that had clearly melted into molten iron had surprisingly reformed into a whole Lin Yichen, and this phenomenon was repeating on the half of the body not yet destroyed.

In the inventory, aside from an orange random position player selection card, there was a hero pool expansion card.

Hearing this, the maids gasped. Even a senior maid like Lv He only earned one or two taels as monthly wages. Now the prince mentioned ten taels at once—almost equivalent to her entire year’s salary.

Two minutes later, the analysis results came in. The earth sand dragon was just an ordinary earth sand dragon; it had mutated into a late stage golden core due to plot needs, which was no problem. But the key was that black mist.

It was an insidious influence, easily molding thoughts and leading minds astray, highly susceptible to manipulation.

Saying this, he looked again at his legs. If Chen Mu hadn’t treated him, he might have been confined to a wheelchair for life.
