Volume One, Chapter 57: Coincidence?
"Don't worry about him," Feng Wu waved her hand dismissively. "With his status and skill, there are basically no one in this world who could hurt him." As she spoke, a tall figure surfaced in her mind. She gave an impatient wave, driving the image away, and continued eating.
In addition, there was a tier-six skill upgrade scroll. After some thought, Ling Fan decided to use the scroll on the "Endurance Aura" he had obtained at the very beginning.
With a click, Xia Fangyuan pressed the shutter button. On the screen, two expressionless faces appeared.
"What do you mean by that?" Feng Shao's initial angry rebuke turned into a frown at Feng Wu's glance.
Tall, dense wild grass surrounded them. Li Pengcheng moved forward, crouched low. Unless someone was deliberately observing, he wouldn't be noticed at all.
The students looked at the homeroom teacher with curiosity, unsure why she had taken so many dice at once.
This, too, indirectly demonstrated the power of the Ancient Dominator. He must have reached a transcendental level, possessing the strength of a Divine Lord.
Seeing this, Furball's large, round eyes turned watery, waves undulating at the edges, as if three tons of tears could spill out at any moment.
As soon as Xu Zheng finished speaking, the entire hall erupted. The fearful faces turned half-doubtful, and for a while, the room was filled with heated debate and excitement.
The Eternal Divine Realm would certainly not be of low rank—perhaps only second to the Sacred Martial Continent—so why had it never appeared?
Chen Fei, the Chief Military Inspector of Gaotang Prefecture, darted forward, blocking E Yongzhou with his iron club. E Yongzhou tried to push ahead, but Han Feng called anxiously, "Yongzhou, come back!" Only then did E Yongzhou halt.
"Your Majesty, why are we not proceeding to Xieyang County with General Gao and his army?" Not long after leaving the capital's city gate, Mu Guiying asked Qin Tian in puzzlement. Qin Tian smiled faintly. "You'll know in a day." Hearing this, Mu Guiying asked no more.
The Du brothers lay dead before Liang Hongyu, utterly lifeless, while Liang Hongyu herself was sprawled by the water’s edge, looking just as lifeless as they.
The two Generals, though brave, rode inferior horses. At the sound of an elephant's trumpeting, the two horses neighed in terror, backing away with a staccato of hoofbeats, refusing to go near.
He did not mind, but these old ministers had once been the pillars of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, and their opinions still mattered. He couldn't wholly ignore them, nor would it be wise, since they still had many protégés and former colleagues whose influence was not to be dismissed.
A wooden lance sliced through the air, aimed directly at Snow Wind Dance's head. Had she not been so battle-hardened and reactive, dodging at the last second, she would have been gravely injured.
By the time they reached the Ye family residence, it was already afternoon. Ye Ling wanted to call for a car to pick them up, but hesitated as he realized he didn't know what identity to use when speaking to his family. He found himself in an awkward predicament.
Yun Xi thought for a moment and realized it was a good thing, though she was unsure how to bring it up with the other party.
Ye Ling walked silently onto the stage. He had already warned Li Lan about their situation and felt no need to interfere further. His opponent was Dong Yi, the third seed from Red Flame Southern Institute.
It was truly a pity—her face must have struck burning charcoal when she fell, or perhaps she was knocked out by the coals. Her features were far more ruined than Li Kongkong's, whose injury was only to his cheekbone. Now, Zhao Ruixi’s face was marred from nose to ear.
On that side, there was little to worry about. As long as Hua Yueling focused on the opposing Corpse General, the rest could be handled by others. He trusted Lu Yuetong's strength; dealing with those two shouldn't be too difficult.
But if Huo Yun Yue was careless and failed to see through the situation, Ye Zishan would not use force. Though confident he could kill her in a fight, he couldn't guarantee acquiring a crystal soul, nor could he be sure of using the Soul Search technique on her.
As Bu Jueqing flared in anger, everyone else fell silent, not daring to utter a word. Chen Meng smiled and stepped forward, gazing at the person lying on the bed. As he looked, his eyes narrowed.
The four mercenaries' eyes gleamed with excitement. Even a quarter of the amount would sustain them for some time.
Seeing Ling Mo's actions, Chi Yan, who was eating, felt nauseated. In the once-silent forest, two retching sounds erupted in quick succession.
King Luo frowned, surprised by Long Aotian’s words. He knew well that Long Aotian was merely making excuses; Long Jiahao was just the pretext.
He was exhausted. Whether from mental agitation or sheer weariness, his mind was muddled. In a daze, he sent many messages to Xia Hua.
Flowing Fire’s gaze burned with intensity, raising the heat in the air. The warmth searing her palm made Jia Yue feel scorched.
Noticing this, Qin Wuyan felt a measure of relief. At least these two types of monsters had a huge weakness in their vision.
"Mother!" Unexpectedly, the young man opposite grew even more agitated. Tears welled in his eyes as he rushed to the bedside, dropped to his knees, and threw his arms around Jia Yue, refusing to let go, crying out for his mother again and again.
This city was indeed built of those massive stones they had seen at the quarry. The base alone was over ten meters high, and the walls soared like skyscrapers. The stone surfaces were impeccably smooth and even, with not a speck of mortar between them, yet not even the thinnest blade or slip of paper could fit into the seams.
A few officers were stunned, darting glances around before squinting their eyes into slits at the boss before them and offering a slight salute.
"Fifty thousand tons, I think," Zhou Weiguo replied after some consideration, keeping the number conservative so as not to startle Mr. Zhou.
After a brief rest, Bear stood and walked a few steps, then turned to wait for Yongchang. Yongchang reluctantly left the rock, grumbling under his breath as he followed.
He thought his occasional glances would go unnoticed, but Xu Xin Jie had seen right through him.
