Light from a Thousand Years Ago (9)

Infused with the fierce energy of the Great Maha Art, Duan Yue's head slammed directly into the Heavenly Blade Mage's forehead with brutal simplicity.

The trees on both sides swayed gently, their green leaves dotted among red foliage and half-withered yellow ones. The ground beneath was blanketed in a thick layer of dead leaves, radiating the desolate and chilling atmosphere of late autumn.

Under the powerful deterrence of the Demonic Body, the demonic Qi within the Blood Prison was repelled by the aura it emitted, unable to come within a meter of Lin Xiao at all.

"Well... I won't boast too much, but even if the four of you joined forces, you might not necessarily defeat me as I am now," Long Tianyi said with a bitter smile.

From the moment at the casino, Zhenzi had been moved by the unfamiliar man, secretly giving him her heart. Yet the ultimate outcome was that this man became the conqueror while she became a captive, turning the two of them into antagonistic rivals.

A figure on the airship was sent crashing heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. Meanwhile, Xue'er seized the opportunity and slashed fiercely at the airship. The supreme-grade Profound Ice Sword still possessed formidable power, instantly cleaving the airship in two as the sound of falling debris echoed sharply.

"Xiao Long!" Silver Tiger and Earth Sovereign exclaimed in shock once again. Within the Heavenly Gate, only Xiao Long had the authority to distribute flight talismans, so who else could these flying figures before them be if not dispatched by him?

However, A Liang was not satisfied with just this; he wanted to expand his sphere of influence and unify the Southern Frontier region. This Black Fiend Valley was naturally one of the places he intended to conquer. He wanted to infiltrate the forces of the Snow Alliance into every corner and every inch of land in the Southern Frontier.

Simultaneously, the vice-leader immediately probed Lu Tianxiang using spiritual energy, a test that caused Lu Tianxiang to writhe in agony on the ground.

The black market of the Central Star was immensely vast. Not only was it the black market for the Central Star itself, but it also served numerous nearby star domains, covering an area that dwarfed the Silver Moon City by more than a dozen moons.

Hearing Tanaka's words, Tadokoro Megumi felt that the gap between them was truly enormous, and the tone of his speech always carried a deeply arrogant aura.

Although the veteran leaders of the three allied cities had some reservations about this, the raw rice had already been cooked—Hidden Weapon City and Phoenix City had truly become the dominant ruling entities of the alliance, leaving them with no choice but to accept it. Threatened by the Kingdom, they were forced to acknowledge this reality all the more, given that only those cities possessed the capability to confront the Kingdom.

While preparing the ingredients, Big Meow turned on her phone, planning to play some music; otherwise, cooking would be far too boring.

"You..." Furious and speechless, Zhu Xian glared fiercely at Jin Zhu, who had abruptly shattered the space entrance.

Bai Yulian had gone out to use the restroom, but instead of using the one in her own home, she chose to go outside, which was why she wasted so much time. Because of this, Zhao Yuanxi was given the opportunity to discuss business with her; otherwise, finding such a chance would have been truly difficult.

Yet once this giant Tentacruel fared poorly in battle, it would retreat deep into the ocean, leaving people utterly helpless against it. Furthermore, due to its massive size, its strength was terrifying, making it a match for ordinary trainers. No wonder the two were so shocked upon hearing Wang Dian's words.

Contact information: Please go to the shores of Daming Lake and look for a person in charge named Xia Yuhe, who will pass along the notice for me.

The treasure chest slowly opened, and that fantastical flowing light instantly enveloped my body. Amidst the constantly swirling radiance, I watched the rewards inside the treasure chest fly past me one by one.

Sure enough, Kirin Luowang's strength did not exceed the compass's rotational control. After landing near the baseline, it bounced back up and flew behind Fujimine.

Shang Ruyi sat in front of the vanity, her fingers trembling slightly as she gripped the comb, almost snapping its teeth. Yet feeling that she really had no need to be so nervous, she thought better of it and placed the comb back on the table.

She had once met a flower grower. In order to find common ground and achieve cooperation, she had deliberately enrolled in classes to learn flower arrangement techniques.

Pondering thus, Chen Ming prepared to scout out the situation and absorb all the accumulated incense offerings into his body.

Along their journey, they had already witnessed the chaotic phenomena of ghouls breeding everywhere in the counties south of the Forbidden River. Just how perilous the north bank of the Forbidden River could become was something no one could clearly predict.

Having lived through so many events, mere awe was no longer enough to express his current state of mind.

The elderly monk, ranked among the Four Eccentrics of Blessing Cliff, carefully scrutinized Qi Jingzhi. Seeing that the youth was indeed unharmed, he turned his head to look at Qi Chuchan sitting at the nearby table.

Even so, the talisman reduced to charcoal was enough to make me realize that I was currently trapped within a dream.

The purpose of this trip—described as "revisiting old haunts," "re-experiencing the aura of 'it'," and "severing the final attachments to it"—would undoubtedly sound baffling to outsiders. Where must one go to experience that aura? To what extent must one act to consider an attachment truly severed?

Hearing this and looking back at the Minsheng Restaurant, Madam Tao felt hope ignite in her heart once more.

Extracting the arrowhead, stitching the wound, applying medicine, and bandaging—she finally regained her steady breathing. Even during the subsequent dressing changes over the next two days, the wound could be clearly seen beginning to scab over. Yet unexpectedly, the moment she woke up, she began tossing about wildly again, a scene that had almost frightened him into stopping his heart moments ago.

Song Yuzhi snatched the wine jug away and flung it fiercely onto the ground. With a sharp crack, the jug instantly shattered into pieces.

The chubby youth possessed a bulging belly and a pronounced double chin. He wore a crew cut and carried a blank, wide-eyed stare. Meanwhile, the slender youth wore a pale red T-shirt, light blue jeans, and white casual leather shoes, a warm smile gracing his face as his bright eyes gleamed beneath fair skin.

"Report, our tank forces have sent a telegram. Their reinforcement route has been blocked by Chinese troops."

Chen Su's vision suddenly darkened, but he remained calm amidst the shock. He exerted his full strength to drive the Fire Origin Armor and lunged violently forward.

A trace of an inscrutable expression flashed in Zhang Tianxing's eyes. He understood that Cihang Jingzhai would definitely invite others, yet precisely who those people were remained unknown to him.

"Spread out and lure the Japanese troops and puppet soldiers over!" Hu Bin thought for a moment and commanded.

Moreover, the coin toss prior to taking a penalty kick did not determine which end of the pitch to use; the specific goalmouth for the penalty shootout was chosen and decided by the main referee based on lighting conditions and turf integrity.

Emperor Heart Venerable lowered his brows and shouted, "Benefactor Zhang is indeed formidable." As he spoke, his Zen staff shifted slightly with the momentum, suddenly erupting with a sky-full of staff shadows as he attacked Zhang Tianxing.
