Volume 1, Chapter 40: Calling for Ice Five Times in One Night

The two leaped toward a desolate Gobi desert. Mei Hanxia said, "Brother Chen, give me the bead and guard me." Li Zhichen concentrated his energy, manifesting the Formless Flow Bead in his palm, and handed it over. He then began to guard Mei Hanxia.

Mo Yang was not very good at cultivating his composure. When it came to things he didn't understand, his curiosity was intense. Often, he kept these feelings buried deep within, but this time, he could neither endure it nor did he want to.

Kalen wanted to fly into a rage, but he truly dared not. He offered an awkward, insincere smile in response.

With a hollow thud, Welhedon didn't even have time to see what had fallen from above. The enclosed space not only made him feel suffocated, but the unknown monster that had just appeared drove him to the brink of madness. He pulled the trigger directly.

"What are you two whispering about in secret?" Liushang asked loudly, dissatisfied with their private conversation.

As these people appeared, the sea of flowers underwent a transformation. All the blossoms shifted their orientation, turning toward the direction of Hua Manlou as if paying homage to them. The sea of flowers was filled with several different scents, yet they were harmonious and did not interfere with one another.

Shangguan Yun did not dare to look around too much. He walked to an empty table, sat down, asked the waiter for a bowl of plain noodles, and then turned his back to the table, stretching out his hands and feet to warm them over the charcoal brazier.

That was why, when Luo Jianan was harassed by the Golden Spirit, Long Xiaofei had stepped forward to rescue her and forced the Goldfish Spirit to abandon his inappropriate intentions.

The Ancestor of the Five Plums had flickering, piercing eyes. Beside her, the Old Monster of the Five Plums and Chen Tengyun stood tall and proud, ready to strike at any moment.

On the evening of the third day, the frogs were still croaking incessantly. The old lady laughed and told Caifeng to stop taking things so seriously. Ju'er had already whispered Caifeng's scheme to the old lady, who merely laughed it off.

"Hmph, good!" Mu Xiyan pinned Yunu to the ground, reached out to remove her breastplate, and then began to undo the belt at her waist.

"As a hegemon, are you not ashamed to play dirty tricks on a child?" A vigorous voice echoed around Douglas.

As the heavenly essence was continuously refined, the black demonic core began to change color. First, white spots appeared on the surface, which slowly increased until the black and white intersected and merged.

Kou Zhun looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. He stood stunned for a long time, unable to say a word, before turning away to continue dredging for the bodies.

Shousu continued to recount the day Xuanyuan fought Shan Chenyi, telling how the rusty sword had flown to save its master, only to be shattered by Shan Chenyi’s blade.

His face darkening, Mulan pushed aside the people blocking his path and saw the thing lying on the ground.

Xie Hao cut his own wrist and dripped a few drops of blood into the pot. The bowl of murky, blackish water slowly turned red—a dark, unsettling shade of red that made one feel deeply uneasy.

The next moment, another earth-shattering boom erupted. Everyone within the array formation arrived beneath the golden light; this was where Wang Bugui was.

Tang Yan was hunched over the bedside, his head accidentally pinning down Shi Shuiyue’s right hand. As soon as Shi Shuiyue woke up, Tang Yan woke up as well.

"Enough, enough! Stop building grand blueprints for me! Let’s just discuss what we should do next!" the Prince of Yan said irritably.

Then, the old man waved his hand gently, and the iceberg rapidly melted into water. Yet, the water did not flow away; instead, it hung suspended in the air.

What Chen Lei didn't know was that his prodigal village head and fifth uncle, Chen Fuman, had been holding meetings at home all afternoon. He had already squeezed the other village heads in the county who grew sweet potatoes, and it was no longer easy to go back on the deal now.

Xuanye’s gaze remained fixed on her, his eyes carrying a hint of surprise, though amusement outweighed the astonishment.

"Who are you looking for?" The elegant man continued his assault, attacking Lan Hanyan while dodging the harassment of the underlings behind him.

It was a pity that the fireworks were only brilliant for a moment, but that moment was enough, for it had achieved its ultimate purpose. Just like a firefly, though it lacks a radiant glow, it can still light up a patch of the sky for travelers in the pitch-black night.

"You’re a boss, at least; why don't you buy a car yourself? How about I give you one?" Li Shoufu said as soon as he got into the car.

While Liu Qing was wailing, Ma Weiming had already ordered people to summon Yang Chunlin and the various attending physicians.

"Third Brother, speak," Wang Zihe said, looking back at Zhong Shan. When had the Third Brother become so polite?

As soon as Zhizhi heard Ziyan call out their names, he poked his head out. When he saw Dan Zong, his eyes lit up—it was indeed Dan Zong.

In shadow mode, when a Shadow Warrior duels a mercenary, the Shadow Warrior actually holds the advantage. Although he can only use melee weapons, he can turn invisible by running and can see the mercenary directly.

Urged on by Mike, the expert finally raised the dagger in his hand and, with a *thwack*, severed Mike’s other arm. The arm fell to the ground and was devoured clean by the gu insects in the blink of an eye, a sight that made one’s blood run cold.

Yang Tian was speaking the honest truth, his inner thoughts. He couldn't care about that anymore; since Teacher Ji didn't like or trust him anyway, there was no need for him to pretend to be pure and kind anymore.

This had nothing to do with courage; it was a biological instinct—the body’s reaction when in a high state of alert before an unknown event occurs.

He had long since discovered from everyone’s behavior that Tang Feng was the core of the group. Today, in this situation of being surrounded, there was only one way to resolve it: take Tang Feng hostage.

Objectively speaking, Xu Yang admitted that Wang Yue’s sniping technique was beyond doubt. If they were to compete purely in sniping, it would be very difficult for any of them to completely suppress him.

However, to be precise, when he only had the cultivation of the seventh level of the Yuanwu Realm, although his combat power could rival experts at the first level of the Lingwu Realm, he could only contend with average warriors among them. If he encountered someone with special methods, he would likely be finished.

The reason it was called special was that to enter the passage, one had to enter a hidden chamber, the entrance of which was extremely secretive.

As the Taiyin star orbited around Hanyue’s body, a sensation of freezing, gloomy coldness suddenly struck.

Moreover, the lips were curved, and saliva was flowing out, which looked exceptionally disgusting to anyone who saw it.

With a loud *clang*, the steel whip and the long spear collided, emitting a thunderous sound. The Marshal of the Imperial Guards and the Turtle General of the Zhangshui River both suffered injuries to the webs between their thumbs and forefingers. They both let out a miserable shriek, and after being wounded, they each fled in different directions.
