Volume One, Chapter 33: I Will Protect You Too

In the blink of an eye, three of our Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level cultivators had one dead and two fleeing, turning the situation around instantly.

Lan’er gave an embarrassed smile and left quietly. Compared to listening to Su Qier rambling about some unfounded matters, Lan’er felt that cultivating martial arts and improving one’s realm was more practical—effort would bring immediate rewards.

Meanwhile, Jiang Da’s physical body, having cultivated the Mountain Strength Transformation Technique, continued to grow stronger. This body-strengthening method was the one practiced by Li Xuangang’s second brother, Li Xuantian.

Yuan Cheng wasn’t sure in which dynasty paddlewheel boats first appeared, but in this era, casting technology had once been highly advanced. Although casting ball bearings was still challenging, creating double-ring sliding bearings was rock solid. The key technology for paddlewheels had long been solved, so everything else was no longer a problem.

Xuanyuan Po dared not make a move recklessly, unsure of what to say. Yet a certain part of his body twitched excitedly, roaring toward the sky with fervor, leaving him restless and distracted. The beauty was right beside him; with just a reach of his hand, the pretense could become reality...

A mist, ethereal and elusive, spread swiftly, engulfing the three of them. The night veil before their eyes suddenly grew hazy and obscure.

Unexpectedly, he found himself so favored by the bandits—should he be happy or even happier? Regardless, Li Xin’s face instantly turned sour.

Perhaps recalling her origins or her mother, Xia Zilan wiped the tears from her cheeks. Only then did Li Xin realize that when someone’s heart is truly broken, they don’t always weep openly, but silent tears are the truest sign of sorrow.

At this moment, even skill was of no use. The Black Tortoise Displacement was still cooling down, and with his current cultivation, he had yet to reach the level of complete mastery.

“I don’t think Big Brother is an ordinary craftsman. I wonder how he ended up doing this labor,” Luo Tian suddenly asked, helping the rugged-faced man load sand and mud.

His eyes bulged, tongue protruded, bow broken, ribs fractured, and his intestines were shredded inside his abdomen.

The wild-state polearm, a standard battlefield weapon from Barbarian Province, emitted a chilling light in the dark night, instilling fear even in the cicadas nesting among the withered grass.

Usually silent underwater without a bubble, even they surfaced to respond, eagerly joining the discussion about the exact timing of the feast.

“Brother Xinghe, make your move,” Bai Liang shouted, clearly feeling his situation growing dangerous. The choice of spell in a duel between two magicians was crucial; a single misstep could be hard to recover from. At least, Bai Liang could think of no other solution.

Seventeen Bright Mirror Platforms in the inner courtyard had almost all been swept clean by the ten comrades they had formed.

Because of his background, he was always reluctant to inquire about the capital's affairs. In his view, it was natural for Jun Yu Moke, as a prince, to be entangled in state matters, yet he sensed the situation was not as simple as it seemed.

That voice boomed like thunder, echoing across the wilderness. Even mingled with the roars of magical beasts, it remained remarkably clear and far-reaching.

“No problem, I can take Mr. Zeen around for a tour. The scenery in South China is still quite good, especially the cuisine. Though many delicacies vanished after the apocalypse, many new ones have emerged,” Jiang Feng said.

“Hundred Beasts!” Xu Yang shouted, summoning the power of a hundred ghosts directly through the Black Yang mysterious gate within his body, without relying on the Ghost Cry Sword.

Her unmatched eyes brightened. Yesterday, she and Fan talked about the hanging chair in Jiuqi Academy. Seeing his indifferent expression then, she thought he hadn’t listened. Unexpectedly, he not only heard but began to put it into practice.

Five years had passed. The plague had been contained, and Jiangnan was gradually regaining its vitality. The current capital's council advocated opening trade with Jiangnan, fostering mutual integration. Within three years, the four cities would once again be adorned with shimmering waves and willow trees.

“Go upstairs!” The captain of the guards made a decisive order. Following the spiral stairs of the military parking tunnel, the flying car began its rush toward the rooftop.

The earth trembled more violently. The Ascending Pillar shook, and amid the rumbling, crackling sounds emerged as black fissures appeared on its surface.

Colonel Ren did not regard Chen Haocheng as an outsider upon seeing him, which made Chen Haocheng feel quite good.

In the depths of darkness, Wang Hao’s soul power detected the presence of a Kun. Ordinary people could never detect the Kun’s existence here.

We have argued over trivial matters, worried about life’s hardships, and at times felt disgust or numbness toward each other. Occasionally, thoughts of infidelity and betrayal even crossed our minds.

Wang Kai shrugged disdainfully. Naturally, he knew they feared Ashura and dared not provoke him, so they wouldn’t help him find his lifeline.

However, after hearing the front desk cashier’s report and seeing the bill, it was a fact that he had spent ninety thousand on a single meal—that was indisputable.

Regarding economics and finance, Wang Hao was a complete outsider. Though ignorant of company operations, he understood that the cash flow was the cornerstone of any enterprise. Once the financial chain broke, even the most formidable company faced bankruptcy and closure.

At that moment, a massive, bizarre head floated in the air, seemingly larger than a planet.

The Dark Temple was the puppet concentration camp of the Demon God’s forces on Earth. If he took down the entire Dark Temple, the Demon God would probably be so furious he’d stomp around in rage.

Jin Ling’s face turned pale with fright. The Wolf King clearly wasn’t a good man; his aura was no act. Jin Ling quickly softened, reaching out to try to stop the Wolf King.

John put down his glass after speaking and went to find the hair dye color swatches. After all, showing Cheng Xin the actual colors would help her get a better sense of them.
