Chapter 55: Definitely Not Just Ordinarily Formidable
No matter how indifferent one might be to politics, the news that Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, had made a comeback as the grand commander spread throughout the entire State of Qin in a remarkably short time, naturally reaching the ears of Fan Sui as well.
As the sky gradually began to brighten, Yuyan returned to the Elven Capital alongside King Selin and his entourage.
This proposal was not a sudden whim of Zhao Dan, but something he had long since discussed with the ministers of Zhao.
Ling Xiyao and the others obeyed his every command, scurrying eagerly behind him with the attitude that they would charge forward even through a mountain of blades or a sea of fire.
"I suppose you could say that. If you find the food to your liking, Grandfather Zhao, you should come more often. The restaurant's head chef is actually my cousin, and he is a local as well," Lin Musen replied honestly.
Mere aftershocks were enough to cause entire tectonic plates to shift; such was the gap between the weak and the strong.
Giant trees within a radius of several hundred meters disintegrated, reduced to a flattened wasteland as if the area had just been bombed by fighter jets.
Wayne could not wait to interrupt him: "What news is it?" Things had reached this point, and he did not want to miss any of the truth.
Therefore, the five-headed dragon, possessing demigod strength, was already an invincible existence in this plane. Even if it violated its oath, it could rely on its own might to withstand the divine punishment sent down by the gods.
Seeing Li Chen speak so straightforwardly, Zheng Shanshan's pretty face flushed with embarrassment, even her earlobes turning a fiery, burning red.
Until he departed, Muyi still had not recovered his senses. Sun Buyan? What did that have to do with him?
Pang Xiao held Qin Yining's hand, his eyes fixed solely on her cheeks, which bore an unnatural flush from a mild fever, the beads of cold sweat on her forehead, and her pale lips.
Fan Bao saw that Zhang Xiehou showed no reaction, so he pressed down harder onto his foot, but still failed to inflict the slightest harm on him. Having no choice, he gave up. Moreover, he was intensely focused on driving and did not want his attention affected, so he simply gritted his teeth, intending to settle accounts with him after getting out of the car.
Seeing him frozen in place and knowing her words had taken effect, Zhu Yingtai darted into the car like a wisp of smoke.
The origin of the world lay on the other side of the bridge, and the collapse mentioned by the system was also related to this "origin." However, no one had yet provided an answer as to what exactly this origin was.
Zhang Xiehou reached up, picked a glazed tile from the roof, and forcefully hurled it at the seven crows perched on the tree branches.
"I thank you for your auspicious words, Senior. The future is too distant; it is better for me to grasp the present first. After all, even if I were to face a quasi-emperor right now, it would still be a nine-to-one chance of death," Muyi smiled slightly. It was a nine-to-one chance of death, not a ten-to-one certainty, and there was a vast difference between the two.
"Young Master Jun, just now this asshole poured a cup of coffee all over me," Sarah pointed at Bai Yuting and shouted.
Lin Kun shook his head, knowing this was an impossibility. If his soul force were truly that powerful, he would not have suffered a backlash and fallen unconscious earlier.
Long, long ago, among the Yanshan Mountains north of Jizhou, he seemed to have once seen a wall just like this one. It had long been dilapidated, riddled with breaches everywhere. Yet no traveler passing by could ever ignore it, nor could they ignore the majesty it once possessed.
"Old Qin, what did the boss and the others go and do?" I knew he wasn't asleep at all, merely engaging in his so-called resting of the eyes with them closed. "The three of them went out to play basketball with the guys from the next dorm, claiming they're going to win a dinner," Qin Yao muttered without even opening his eyes.
This time, more than half of his family fortune was wiped out, and his company was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy! Why were these damned Chinese people so formidable?
"You are merely making excuses for yourself. Can it be that stealing from the rich does not count as stealing? What kind of logic is that?" Wen Ying snorted coldly.
I even had a premonition that many people would lose their lives on this trip, yet when I peered through my Yin eyes, I could see nothing at all, as if an invisible force was shielding my vision. Nevertheless, that ominous feeling continuously kept warning me.
Another wave of boos erupted, and the soldiers led by Chen Yangyan lowered their heads in shame. Toward this shameless general, they felt nothing but utter contempt and disdain.
Had General Mo not mentioned it, he would never have known, though peace seemed unlikely for him in the days ahead, causing him a slight headache. It was all the fault of that damned old mystic who had no business pulling such stunts; at worst, he could just return the silver to him!
Even so, it was already enough to make Liuxi immensely joyful. The path of witchcraft differed from that of ordinary great witches; for every tripod increase in witchcraft power, a sorcerer's combat capability increased far more than an ordinary great witch's, because they could choose from a wider variety of potent toxic hexes, which was the unique characteristic of the Poison Hall.
Qin Yao said, "I only know a little and have never actually encountered it myself. Sorcery is a branch of witchcraft, mostly used to harm others, and is very common in Southeast Asia and the Nanyang region, closely resembling the Gu magic of the Miao people in our country."
"Go ahead and speak. I'm certain you are wrong. For a thousand years, no one has been able to solve it. And yet you claim to have solved it," someone shouted.
Only three chapters today! Lacking in state; seeing my friends playing that chicken-dinner game, I ended up downloading it and playing a single match... As a result, dammit, I felt dizzy and nauseous, just like experiencing motion sickness... That game is not for me.
Because a sudden anomaly erupted in the Mirror Moon Lake, sending towering waves surging upward, a massive stone platform abruptly emerged from the depths of the water. The mottled gray boulders were carved all over with the traces of time.
This was an open clearing, surrounded outside by a ring of stone pillars, each emitting a brilliant white light. The light stung slightly when it shone upon the skin.
