Chapter 120: The Female Rakshasa
The wooden carriage was shattered into pieces by the surging internal energy, sending splinters and the clothing within flying in every direction. Aside from the garments, there seemed to be a heavy object left inside; as the axle snapped, it hit the ground with a dull thud. Liu Shen narrowed his eyes and finally spotted a cloth-wrapped, blade-like object hidden among the debris. Seeing the bandit leader charging toward him, he cast aside any thought of his disheveled state and rolled across the ground, narrowly dodging the incoming blade energy.
However, having escaped that strike, Qing Zhenghuan clearly had no intention of giving him a moment to breathe. Spotting that his opponent had not yet regained his footing, he lunged forward, swinging his staff with the force of a mountain-crushing blow.
Ying Yuluo looked at the group before her with annoyance. They had all appeared so arrogant and high-handed earlier, yet she had not expected such a change in them now.
Zhuang Jian gazed deeply into the horizon. He channeled his vision, but he could not discern any path forward; after all, their intended destination was not the Zen Sect of the Outer Domains, but the opposing eight sects of the Asura.
"Hahahaha!" Guo Nianfei sneered. Dan Mu gripped the pistol tightly, instinctively squeezing the trigger while pressing the weapon firmly against Guo Nianfei’s head.
Zhuang Jian’s appearance, however, elicited a sense of admiration from her. After all, the ability to endure, wait for the right moment, and strike at the critical second to seize one's fate possessed the decisiveness of a warlord in chaotic times.
I did not sleep all night. I thought a great deal about Ximu and Siyi, and in the end, I felt that I should preserve these feelings. To give up without even trying—that is not my, Tu Yin’s, nature.
"I am even luckier than you," Chen Yihui said, laughing at Huangfu Yichen's words. She smiled softly and added, "Thank you," before leaning in to kiss him on the cheek.
The Dragon-Tyrant Sovereign had been waiting for the Bone-Dragon to return with news of victory, but after several days, he received word that the seven Bone-Dragon brothers had encountered fierce resistance from the Lions of the Northwest. Having suffered heavy casualties, they were forced to hold their ground at Bone-Dragon Mountain.
Lan Sheng looked on with curiosity; it had been only seven days, yet Zhuang Jian looked far more mature than before.
Once I have fully mastered the power of the specter, I will know how to stage a grand performance for my brother in this mortal world.
"The plane leaves at ten tonight. If you want to—" Jack had not finished speaking when Chen Xu cast a chilling glare his way, and Jack immediately fell silent.
"We have no choice for now; let’s wake her up first." Luo Chen channeled his immortal energy into the bed, and before long, Bai Tiantian stirred awake.
Nine-tenths of the tiger spirits seemed enraged by Lu Yangfeng. They coalesced into a tiger head dozens of feet wide, snapping its jaws as it lunged to tear him apart.
"Mom is fine, Nian'er, eat your meal!" Lin Xi touched her cheek; it was indeed burning hot. Suddenly, she caught Chen Xu’s gaze, but he lowered his head to look at his chopsticks, acting as if he had seen nothing and had no desire to look at her.
"Why are you so talkative?" Bai Tiantian’s heart was filled with pent-up frustration, making her tone unusually sharp.
Sure enough, two of Zhang Guozhen’s direct subordinates crawled up obediently from below. By the time Zhang Guozhen realized what was happening, it was already too late.
She still remembered that operating room door; it was like a bottomless vortex in the depths of her soul, the nightmare of her entire life.
Although it was not tied as well as she could have done it herself, it achieved a perfectly loose and fluffy effect, saving her the trouble of styling it again.
I certainly understood what my father meant. He knew that everything had been difficult for me since I was released from prison, which was why he said such things.
Suddenly, the roar of an engine came from behind the car. Thinking someone was racing on the road, the driver quickly pulled over to yield the way.
The three sect leaders settled their affairs and prepared for their journey to the Fireworks Sect. Liujin, Fengjin, and Dingjin bid farewell to their masters and returned to the Shajin Sect to report.
