With a dull thud, he kicked one of the underlings flying. The man sailed over the sofa-and-booth area and crashed into a cluster of tables and chairs.
“Ah—!”
The reveling patrons scattered in terror.
Then Ye Lin’s legs seemed enchanted. Kicking left and right in rapid succession, he quickly sent the several men accompanying Crazy Face sprawling to the floor, where they lay groaning incessantly.
The disturbance began to spread through the bar. Once people realized a fight had broken out, groups of young men and women rushed toward the exit, surging past the security guards at the door and leaving them utterly bewildered.
By the time the two guards entered, the bar, which had been packed only moments before, was already deserted.
Only Ye Lin and Crazy Face remained standing...
Even the War God Academy understood the importance of giving its students freedom. How could such transcendent sect forces fail to understand something so simple?
The golden feathers emerging from his body were naturally not an original ability of the Golden Saint Armor. Rather, Wang Zheng had drawn inspiration for them from the Demon-Sealing Battle Armor.
After learning all this, he returned to his office to find out more about the property. Only then could he prescribe the right remedy. As the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never lose a battle.
Liu Xin sat foolishly in his recliner, grinning as he gazed around him. Just now, Lin Yunyi had said that the two of them would go to the movies that evening.
After thinking it over briefly, Li Wei decided to leave a message for Cai Yutong and Gelina’s group, pointing them in the right direction, while he followed after them first.
Now that he had heard Director Wang actually had a new film about to be released, the many staff members who had previously been kept in the dark naturally reacted this way.
Before, he could use repeated Blood Demon Finger shots to leave Lu Jiude riddled with wounds. But now it was useless, because the black mist instantly restored Lu Jiude’s injuries completely.
Behind him, Zhang Luofei gazed at Lei Guan with profound admiration. Her grandfather’s cultivation had gone awry, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. They had consulted countless renowned physicians and powerful experts, yet none had been able to help.
Fu Yunyao smiled. She was quite calm and did not mind Yun Zi voicing her true thoughts.

Bo Xueji slapped Wang Tianlin three times, leaving his face swollen and bright red, with vivid handprints stamped across it.
Before noon, Gu Hanhao and Ling Lan could only listen separately to the program recordings. It was not until lunch arrived that they finally had time to exchange opinions while they ate.
Ling Xi’s somewhat numb nerves stirred faintly at the soft sound, and everything that had happened the previous night slowly resurfaced in his mind.
Ye Fei’s voice rang out beside his ear. With a clang, Ye Fei arrived in a flash and blocked the sword with which Poison Dragon had been attacking Pojun. Then, using a Shadow-Covering Strike, he appeared behind Poison Dragon.
Outside the courtyard, the man’s eyes shifted. He immediately grinned lewdly and called to Bao’er, “Hello, Bao’er. Good girl. How about I be your father?”
As he spoke, his eyes never left Meiniang.
After pressing the doorbell, Elder Sister Wang amiably explained her purpose to the man who sounded like a butler on the intercom and presented her identification.
The heavy snowfall had barely stopped when a force of cavalry came charging in. Sun Ce’s troops were at the front. Could Sun Ce have turned around and attacked again? He immediately ordered the soldiers to bring out firewood and use it to block the cavalry.
They had already reached the area outside the second level. Liu Feng arrived just as Zhang Fang and the others were about to enter the second checkpoint.
If there was no well, then water would have to be drawn from the public well when needed, which would certainly be inconvenient.
The furniture in Master Li’s house looked somewhat old, but all of it was still usable. Judging by its designs, it had clearly been made with considerable care. With proper maintenance, it would not be inferior at all.
At the imperial court, Emperor Yingqing flew into a thunderous rage and directly announced the various crimes of Prince An. They included bribing examination candidates to disrupt the imperial examinations and the court’s order, inciting the populace, secretly manufacturing weapons, maintaining a private army, and plotting rebellion. Prince An’s estate was sentenced on the spot to permanent confinement.
Under normal circumstances, every intelligence operative had to undergo periodic memory examinations to prevent traitors from emerging within the organization. To avoid causing irreversible damage to their memories, these routine inspections were generally conducted once every six months.
The freight truck could not enter the tractor road, so Yang Zhenyu transferred a small double-row truck from the vermicelli factory to help haul the goods.
This was the look Monkey D. Luffy had in his eyes when he declared, “I’m the man who will become the Pirate King!”
Now that this pile of meat had been snatched away, all he had to do was concentrate on dealing with what was already in his mouth and hands. Not only could he reclaim everything he had lost, he could gain even more.
“What caused the cholestasis?” This time, Qi Jing’s question was simple, so instead of asking the director seated at the head, he directed it to Hu Dongsheng.

Animal flesh develops different odors from the oils it naturally secretes. Human olfactory senses, however, are not sensitive enough, so most of those smells pass unnoticed.
Xuan Chengyi let out a low sigh. “Then from now on, you are not allowed to say such things that hurt my heart.” Even now, merely recalling those words made him feel as though they had pierced straight through him.
Tai Sui was no stranger to this place. After all, Xin Tong’s current body had been obtained here.
Qin Mo was already exceptionally impatient the moment he answered the call. With an irritated expression, he spoke, and his impatient voice came through the receiver. Qin Mo had no desire to deal with Jiang Yuyan.
Madam Gu’s face turned pale with anger, and she was just about to retort when Xuan Chengyi viciously flung the agarwood prayer beads in his hand onto the floor. With a clatter, the beads scattered, the fine agarwood spheres rolling in every direction.
The groomsman was pushed forward. Looking at the person before him, he might never have eaten pork, but he had certainly seen pigs run.
Although the blue color on the cut surface was quite ordinary, its lustrous hue and broad expanse of jade flesh still appeared dazzling in the courtyard where the challenge platform had been set up.
Yang Yunxi suddenly felt an immense calm settle over her heart. Come to think of it, there really was no need to hold any of this against them.
Looking down at the mass of people kneeling below, the two of them wore expressions of identical arrogance.
Only then did Huo Sining abruptly realize it. Privately cursing her own miscalculation, she could not help but slap her forehead, consumed by regret.
Apart from the main-realm city guarded by the Grand Priest of the Puppet Shadow Clan, which could not withstand the assault and collapsed, the other seven main-realm cities also shook violently beneath the terrifying attacks that spread in every direction.
As the saying went, even a starving camel was still larger than a horse. The Zhao family was not finished yet, but Zhao San was already leaping about, trying to find a way out. How could Old Master Zhao possibly spare him?
Mingzhu watched him in silence. She did not know what he truly wanted. Did he hope that the Grand Empress Dowager would live, or did he want her dead?
It was simply that this soul technique was far more formidable than expected. Combined with the sinister yin energy that had come from who knew where, it had become extraordinarily powerful. Even she, who considered her soul force exceptionally strong, found it difficult to break free.
