Chapter 25

However, for Jiang Hu to admit defeat just like that was certainly no easy task. After all, Jiang Hu possessed his own sense of pride; while Wang Jie was undeniably brilliant, was Jiang Hu merely a mediocre soul?

"Are you done being angry?" Shen Yu ignored the tea dripping down his face and gave me a forceful wink. I watched as the crystalline water droplets on his eyebrows traced a path down his cheeks, sliding toward his collar before vanishing from sight.

"But you can no longer return to your own era, so why not just submit to me here?" Ye Feng said with an evil grin.

I stood on the rafters, waiting in silence. The child in my arms was remarkably well-behaved, fluttering his long eyelashes and unexpectedly giggling at me.

But the next moment, Tiger Shark’s eyes filled with disbelief. He muttered, "How is this possible?" One of his fists, which looked utterly disproportionate to the giant scissors, slammed directly into the blades. A force of terrifying power surged through the scissors, shaking him to his core.

Yet, the moment she took a step, her legs felt weak and her head spun violently. Her feet refused to obey her, and after barely two paces, her vision darkened. Her body went limp, and she collapsed.

The people present exchanged glances; only Master Roshi wore a strange expression, likely because he knew a thing or two about what was happening.

It must be said that the news they had spread had achieved a certain effect. A few days after Wang Ting and the others left, scattered cultivators began to arrive to join them. Though their strength was limited, a good start was always a positive sign.

When Wang Jie and his group returned to the council chamber, Bai Ruoshuang, Lei Kun, Wang Ting, Feng Qingyang, and the others had been waiting for a long time. They looked at the high-spirited Wang Jie with faces full of smiles.

"That's nothing at all. Feel free to stay as long as you like!" Uncle Li said with a hearty laugh.

Although one could restore physical strength using magic power, nothing could compare to the comfort of a good night's sleep, could it?

"Kill... him!" Bei Wuwang slowly regained consciousness, his eyes vacant. Then, they eerily flickered with a hint of life. He turned his head tremblingly toward Di Shuyu’s direction and rasped out the command before falling unconscious once more.

By then, they had chatted intermittently until eight o'clock, and the group gradually dispersed. Dongfang Mingyue and Xu Yusheng left, while Ye Bihuang and Luo Xinghe discussed whether they should go out for a stroll.

It could be said that once Delis learned of Zhang Biwu’s whereabouts, she would be even less able to hold back, and her desire to see him would only grow stronger.

Huo Xueyan watched him depart, a faint blush creeping onto her face. She pursed her lips, silently making a certain resolution.

Much like Ling Cailing felt indifferent toward her husband, Cai Bo no longer held much affection for his wife, merely maintaining the marriage out of habit. If he had initially felt anger born of instinct when he suspected her of infidelity, his attitude had now undergone a complete transformation.

Once Yoon-ah had calmed down, Xu Chenjun explained the next steps. Filming might take place in Taiwan, meaning Xu Chenjun would have to leave again. However, the filming schedule was not particularly heavy, so he could return from time to time, and Giddens could serve as the interim director while he was away.

In the darkness, Lance held a rope in one hand and a candle in the other, making small talk just to fill the silence.

"Average, average, third in the world!" Chen Sha's humble smile made everyone find him even more amusing.

The remaining four thugs finally came to their senses and, cursing, took off in pursuit. Shen Zhujun was pulled along by him, subconsciously following his lead to escape. The courage she had just mustered dissipated without a trace.

They chose not to engage Tao Song in battle, as their primary goal now was to absorb the Source of the Immortal Realm from Hou Yi’s body to enhance their own strength, rather than fighting Tao Song to the death.

Mo Tian felt terrible, but Tao Le felt satisfied. Compared to Mo Tian, he still had plenty of face.

Cui Cheng-guk had actually recorded some information before coming; he knew the difficulties and the righteous nature of the Tang Ren Gang, and they were certainly not just some reckless criminal syndicate.

This complete version of the Tsar Bomba weighed as much as fifty tons! Therefore, in order to launch this Tsar Bomba with a missile, the Slavs had directly modified their own Energia rocket.

However, these manjusaka flowers, resembling claws, were truly chilling. The thousands of flowers across the plain were like thousands of claws reaching out, determined not to let go of her. Moreover, they were layered, endlessly blooming and withering.

Fu Nian flipped Tai'e, channeling even greater internal energy toward the character for "Ritual." His sword pointed toward the pool, and a massive sheet of water appeared beneath Mount Kunlun.

But today was different. After returning, he briefly explained the situation to the sect elders. The elders were shocked, for the Blade of the Fierce God was a secret of the Metal Sect. Since the founding of the Metal Sect, they had attempted to enter the ancient tomb countless times, only to return in defeat every time.

The three shared a round of banter, and amidst their laughter, the madam led six girls into the room. Without waiting for instructions, the girls paired off and sat beside the three men, whispering sweet nothings and nuzzling against them, employing every seductive trick at their disposal.

Because this group belonged to different families and factions, only Zhu Jinghe’s identity currently met the criteria to be made aware of the truth.

"Although our warriors of the grasslands were fearless in the face of death, we still failed. The three great Golden Tribes of that era were all slaughtered by the Zhou people of the Nine Provinces; not a single one escaped back to the grasslands."

After so many years, he had long regarded this place as his home, and with Gohan as a connection, he had long since changed.

"Not bad, not bad at all! To think it's this strong! Hahaha!" Bardock roared with excitement. The power contained within this Vermilion Fruit far exceeded his expectations, and it was so pure that he could skip the purification step.

According to the original timeline, Androids 17 and 18 should not have appeared for another four years, and before that, they had been imprisoned for several years. Thus, Bardock could deduce that this Dr. Gero must have captured the siblings only within the last two years.
