Chapter 19

If they encountered a force of several thousand soldiers or even more, engaging in a direct confrontation like this would be an extremely unwise choice.

“Zha’er, what are you looking at? Come down and play shuttlecock with me,” came the voice of Yin Shiniang.

Some excitement stirred, and Old Master Ni Mei also felt a growing anticipation, continuously allocating free attribute points to the Fortune Vine.

The Xie family had set their sights on him, eventually tracing Old Master Ni Mei’s whereabouts, hoping to seize the legendary-grade rat droppings.

At present, they only had one vehicle, which had been taken by Eleven; the two of them had no choice but to take a taxi to their dinner destination that evening.

Jiang Bei believed Feifei was not the type to betray her own unless under extraordinary circumstances.

“Damn it! It hurts like hell. Even if I die, I’m dragging these bastards down with me!” Sun Churui felt a stabbing pain in his chest. At this moment, he thought, what’s the point of living with an arrow in the chest? A dying man has no other thoughts.

The moment the door opened, several men dressed in black with black sunglasses flooded in, their expressions as uniform and serious as dolls on an assembly line, not a hint of a smile.

The final hammer fell; the transaction price was 52 million taels, won by Number Five from the Shaqi Ma Sect.

This beast had no other skills but a body covered in tough fish scales that shielded him like armor, allowing him to dominate the lakebed here. Over time, he had even gained some intelligence. Now, hesitating, he stopped in front of the soft, dense algae at the bottom of the lake.

It was impossible not to be surprised. Su Mingyue was extremely calculating and would never undertake a task unless she was confident in it.

After all, no one could predict whether Tony Stark or Dr. Banner would ultimately pioneer quantum mechanics.

In fact, editors at the Qidian editorial department often felt confident because their authors performed well and had abundant resources.

“Coulson, according to the order of our first round of questions, it’s your turn now,” Nick Fury reminded Coulson.

Suddenly, at that moment, the Primordial Supreme Being and all his disciples, who had been the subject of their discussion, instantaneously teleported over to their side.

“Since you said ‘we need a plan,’ I stopped listening,” the Destroyer replied honestly, with a straightforward expression.

The Yulou gang suffered eleven martial artists killed, and most survivors were injured, making it difficult to engage in combat again soon—a costly victory.

Shen Xinyan’s face was pale and sallow; her scalp tingled with frustration, but she knew she mustn’t lose her temper and could only reply respectfully with a “yes.”

Ye Feng remained unhurried; upon swallowing the eighth-stage Golden Elixir, the Supreme Dao Immortal Technique began circulating, swiftly dissolving the elixir’s power and replenishing his parched internal mana. Like a dam breaking, the nine-inch jade flower was fully realized and perfected.

The effect exceeded expectations; those stubborn ones who refused to speak surrendered one by one under the sound punishment.

Li Chuxia rolled her eyes inwardly. Staying up late to come here and ask her what reward she desired was rather irritating.

Facing two saints alone, even with the enhanced power of the Immortal Sword Array, there were still losses. However, since the Immortal Sword Array and the Four Immortal Swords had merged into one, it could only be broken if all four saints appeared together, thus ensuring the array’s integrity.

Luo Bingzhang ignored whether Zeng Guofan agreed or not, forcibly pushing him onto a wooden chair before sitting down beside him.

“Not picky?” Aunt Gui’s evaluation of Qiao Neng was unexpected, greatly surprising Nie Wanluo. At least she now knew that none of the delicacies at the City God’s Temple were favored by Qiao Neng.

“Master Mu, please don’t address me so familiarly; we are not worthy and cannot reach your esteemed stature. I came only to personally deliver a message to you,” Lin Huiru stepped back, found a chair, and sat down with a tone full of meaning.

Moreover, even if a supreme being from the restricted zone were to emerge, his current strength would be sufficient to suppress it.

Yan Aohan began setting up tents; three were erected in total—one for himself and Zhu Yanyi, one for Sikong Xuran and Yu Qingyun, and one for Yi Yunfei and Ouyang Tianyun.

Pushing open the door, he found the bed empty, with no sign of the Snake Princess, causing some surprise.

Ken hailed from the illustrious Mustard family of America, sent to learn assassination techniques under the master “Iron Fist” due to his mischievous childhood. He was the protagonist Long’s junior martial brother.

Li Changwei stood still, eyes fixed intensely on the shards of glass in his palm, seemingly completely captivated by them.

“Brother Wuzi, sister hasn’t bullied me. It’s just that I’m not as kind as you are, so everyone prefers cousin,” Su Tong’er said, then began to sob again.

A closer look revealed his robes were soaked through with blood, showing the severity of his wounds.

At this crucial moment, just as the main event was about to unfold, an untimely knock suddenly sounded.

When Sun Yongfeng returned, Zhao Xuanyuan had already left. Before she could share her exclusive discovery with the world, trouble found her.

Suddenly, a soccer ball rolled slowly over, coming to a stop after touching Lin Qing’s foot. Lin Qing looked around but saw no one who might own it.

She couldn’t meet Wang Fang now; otherwise, she might lose control of her emotions again. She had already struggled hard to hold back in front of Cheng Yiyan, and if this continued, she might break down first.

Zhang Kuo thought to himself, “Ha! Looks like he’s saving money to recruit troops. Seems like my uncle really intends to rebel.”

“Open the door and let Doctor Fang have a look. If Su Tong is really in trouble, I’ll pay for it,” shouted Old Lady Su.

Su Qing didn’t insist but glanced toward the direction Qin Yuchuan pointed. The crowd was dense; she couldn’t tell whom Qin Yuchuan meant.

Chu Yeli visibly trembled; Su Nian unconcealed a light smile, causing Chu Yeli’s face to flush even redder. His body seemed rusty and uncooperative; he turned his face away, revealing a reddened earlobe fully to Su Nian.

There could only be one explanation: someone was exerting pressure on him. All within a single midday hour.
