Chapter 58

With a crisp clang, the long sword at his waist sprang from its scabbard. Brandishing it in the slanting rays of the setting sun, he charged directly at Xiao Ying.

Taking advantage of the tiger-man's momentary trance, Lin Feng manipulated Wang Xiu to lunge forward fiercely. Mid-air, Wang Xiu extended her right tiger claw, which suddenly elongated like a stretching arm. Source energy morphed along her paw, rapidly sprouting a two-meter-long "source energy hand."

In every gesture and movement, they carried themselves like seasoned martial arts masters. Their strikes were ferocious, yet their synchronization was so unified that they were even more strictly disciplined than the Mongols.

The person asking the question was not Lin Feng, but a half-awakened being in the form of a snake-man. This followed the advice of domestic and foreign psychologists, who suggested that "same-species communication" would more easily lower the opponent's psychological defense for convenience.

Seeing Duan Yanfeng stubbornly resort to casting the Rending Wind Vacuum Slash once again, Lu Zifeng shook his head in disdain. He whirled his Ice-Soul Snow-Pattern Saber once more, executing the Ice Lotus Saber Technique as well.

Stepping out of the house, Xiong Yu ran wildly all the way. At this moment, he wanted to say nothing and do nothing; he only wished to exhaust every last ounce of his strength, as that might perhaps make him feel a little better.

Just as Zu Tian was in the middle of completing his palm formation, Meng Gou and the Samsara Disk burst out of the explosion center, surging with overwhelming momentum toward Lu Zifeng.

However, considering that Meng Hao had already gifted him a Green Origin Pill a while ago, he simply could not bring himself to open his mouth and ask for another one, no matter what.

His figure was ethereal, moving with supreme velocity as he traversed the sea of lightning. His divine sword cleaved apart bolts of lightning one after another, engaging in fierce battle with the four lightning divine beasts. The divine sword resonated with a sharp hum, emitting myriad paths of sword qi that illuminated all the heavens and myriad realms, unleashing boundless divine radiance.

"What the hell!" Yi Chentian felt a deep sense of helplessness as someone entirely devoid of the strength to truss a chicken.

"Imperial Consort Mother?" Zhao Ling rubbed her temples, her entire body aching and limp. Even the slightest movement sent excruciating pain rippling through her wounds, especially her two feet, which felt as though she were treading on the tips of blades.

Grief, resentment, and helplessness intertwined within his heart, and the throbbing in his head made him instantly contemplate leaping off the overpass.

It turned out to be two gullible fools bidding wildly against each other, finally settling on a price of one hundred twenty-three thousand five hundred taels to purchase a set of "Three Pastoral Suites."

Li Xiande shifted his arm slightly, triggering a fresh wave of agony. The back of his head, in particular, throbbed excruciatingly, pulling at his entire skull and nervous system so that even the gentlest movement brought heart-rending pain.

Just moments before, she had exhausted her internal energy to deal with the giant rat, and subsequently depleted the remainder to heal both the others and herself.

As Xu Qichang stepped out of the room, he saw A-Jiu gracefully approaching with two maidservants. The hems of their garments fluttered in the breeze, and in an instant, they were right before him.

Wearing an impeccable, flawless smile, I gracefully placed my hand upon his wrist. With lotus-like steps, I descended from the embroidered sedan chair, and before me stood the resplendent, golden-gilded Bauhinia Palace.

Consequently, outstanding military academy students like Feng Muhua began receiving early job placements. On their originally scheduled graduation day, evaluations would be issued based on their performance in these current postings—evaluations of vital importance that could profoundly influence the students' future official careers.

Having figured this out, Wang Deshou made up his mind in secret. Such a rare opportunity could not be missed; come what may, he had to give it a try. Whether he could latch onto the coattails of the endlessly promising Officer Feng depended entirely on this single gamble. As for saving face, how much was that even worth? Of all those who achieved greatness, how many bothered about saving face?

Though I had fainted and lost bodily sensation, in the realm between illusion and reality, I seemed to catch fragments of faint sounds.

Lin Yi drove slowly along the main road. The grand boulevard, originally twelve lanes wide, was choked with wrecked vehicles acting as roadblocks, severely impeding his forward progress.

"Good, good, good. Since Miss Zi is so courageous, we shall accompany you to the very end," said a Soul Master of the second tier of the Spirit General realm indifferently. Though consumed with rage, he dared not start a fight immediately, as that would only benefit third parties. Thus, his gaze shifted back to the various people still locked in combat across the battlefield.

Furthermore, each of those tokens represented the right to claim a substantial share of spirit stones from the First Pavilion's revenues on a fixed date every month. In essence, every holder of a jade token was a back-end shareholder of this First Pavilion.

Tang Zhiling’s eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. She dared not think any further, nor did she know whether she ought to continue thinking down that path.

Originally, she had also intended to make amends to Fu Tingshen. Although she remained passive this time, she offered no struggle, leaving him free to do as he pleased with her.

At the mere mention of the Director, Xiang Chukui felt a splitting headache coming on. He was not Dai Li's confidant, and now that such a monumental blunder had occurred in his work, he had no idea what kind of reception awaited him from Dai Li. Would he manage to survive this ordeal?

The heavy machine gun swung around. Originally pointed outward, it now turned to face inward.

"Hmph! Let's consider him cleared..." Though Sister Xi'er was clumsy with words, hearing it from her carried far greater credibility in Jiang Zhuyi's ears than if Hong Tao had claimed it himself.

Such a situation could no longer be delayed. Zhou Gongdan and the Duke of Shao immediately entered the imperial palace to have an audience with King Wu of Zhou, intending to remonstrate with the monarch.

"Hehe," Alcueid chuckled softly, releasing Hiiragi Tenri. The latter’s expression shifted drastically as he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, staring at Alcueid with a gaze mixed with shock and rage.

Realizing the situation was turning desperate, Li Xingliang and Zhu Kang dropped to their knees before Shen Feng without the slightest hesitation, kowtowing frantically against the ground.

Ning Yilin had not engaged in a fair fight with Ning Yizhoud at all. Earlier, Ning Juetian had captured Ning Yizhoud, sealed multiple meridians within his body, and simply tossed him over for Ning Yilin to dispose of.

Not only Bai Wuhen, but even the masked Emperor Qing, Emperor Huang, and the others all turned pale with shock one after another.
