39 The Thirty-Ninth Iron Pillar

Seeing Qin Yan planning to spend the night in the arena to refine his skills, the remaining staff were naturally delighted. In Qin Yan, they seemed to see the consistency of Duncan and the diligence of Kobe; how could a person like that not succeed?

Mizuki never intended to make enemies with any powerful figures; he merely sought greater strength to protect himself.

Mizuki opened his eyes to see the blazing red figure of Might Guy in the distance, still brutalizing the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Uchiha Madara, who was largely unable to resist and could only take the beating passively.

On the arena stage, the atmosphere was heavy. This match was not only about the dignity of the three major alliances, but it would also determine which of them would be the first to enter the gateway to the alien spacecraft.

"Fuji, Enze, haha, it’s been so long! You’re still as adorable as ever." Upon arriving at Fang He’s house, Qin Ke’er immediately went to hug them.

Over there, countless giant trees in the forest collapsed, and a massive, magnificent peacock was being besieged by strange beasts that looked like insects.

Unless absolutely necessary, no sniper would choose to use this weapon on the battlefield, for the moment a shot is fired, one’s position is exposed.

"Launch a ten-kiloton nuclear warhead first as a test. If it fails to inflict damage on Godzilla, we shall seek other methods!" After careful consideration, the general chose a compromise.

Therefore, Zhu Si ignored Pang Tianshou’s nagging—the imperial edict did not permit such things—and went straight to the imperial court. Only after finishing the day’s state affairs did he return to find his beloved wife.

The Dipin Sect, wishing to lead the human race legitimately, sought to leverage the authority of the gods. Realizing the cost was too high, they had to restrain themselves and observe how Shi Yijian and the others would act first.

Two days later, Zhou Fan and his disciple Chen Daosheng moved into the private school arranged for them by Governor Du. The Golden Toad Daoist moved in as well, acting as if nothing were amiss, perhaps calculating that Zhou Fan and Chen Daosheng would be too embarrassed to chase him away.

"This is all of your own doing; who else can you blame?" Fu Xin’ke looked at her with a hint of disdain.

Shangguan Yue understood her meaning; Princess Linglong’s actions were intended merely to warn the Weichi family.

Chen Su watched the two men acting so intimately and thought to himself, "These two handsome guys don't even try to avoid suspicion—aren't they afraid I might get ideas?"

Night fell, and the moon had hidden away somewhere. The ink-black sky was devoid of even a glimmer of starlight.

Because I had been busy with the bidding process over the last two days, my workout plan had been somewhat delayed, and I needed to make up for it today.

The tremors ceased. Dust filled the air at Shanhai Pass, and the eight hundred thousand Jin soldiers stationed behind the gate were all stunned into silence, as if turned to stone.

Looking at Kouichi, the guy was unhurriedly picking his nose, looking at the heterogeneous Diend before him with utter disdain as he began his usual routine of snarky commentary.

Tao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, glad to have escaped. She quietly gave Kong Qingqing a victory sign before sending a message to ask Shen Si where they were.

Shikigami sat up with his master, only to hear a rustling sound from nearby, and the others in the room rose one after another.

I shook my arms, and the "evil spirits" clinging to my body seemed to be shaken off into flight. Shen San, who had been struggling to save the day after being blown away by the wind-wielding paper dolls, was caught in the shockwave and sent flying.

I had vaguely sensed the key to the changes and realized what might happen next.

Although school hadn't started yet, Lu Jinyu and the village children weren't idle. These days, they had been taking the village kids out to the vegetable fields to help catch pests.

The two of them stayed at my place for the night, and the next morning, I took him to 31 Back Street.

Pei Feng nodded with satisfaction. He had sent Wu Ba because Wu Ba was clever enough to understand his subtle hints.

Jiang Cai had rushed to catch Ziming in a moment of panic. Because her strength was limited and Ziming had grown quite sturdy, she had cushioned his fall with her own body to prevent him from getting hurt, taking the full force of his weight. Now, she was unconscious from the impact.

Dozens of hideous, massive crocodiles emerged on the surface of the lake, their dark, armored scales shimmering with blinding, cold light under the sun. Filled with intense malice, they swarmed toward Wei Yi to surround him.

"That year, that day, you confessed to me. You said we would be together forever. You said your only request of me was—that I should die before you."

Quickly adjusting her expression, Hua Chun continued to stare at the man before her as if he were a pervert, her eyes filled with alienation and resistance.

Seeing that Qin Tian was becoming embarrassed and angry, Doudou could only stick out her tongue and leave entirely.

This sword was not an ordinary blade; it was not only precious but also heavy, much like his own burdened heart. At first, it was incredibly difficult to even lift it, let alone thrust it toward the sun.

I had completely taken the place of the Xian family’s master, a bit like a guest usurping the host, but the feeling was quite good.

It turned out the shopkeeper’s name was Wang Zhonggang. In his early years, he was in the textile business, and later, he founded the "Hainan" bank with several partners.

Seeing Li Lan carrying a sword, Xiong Ming walked over, terrified, and said in a low voice, "If she wakes up, maybe she won't have to die." He had seen Xia Yun’s hand move just now and believed she was still alive.

However, this unintentional act would later make the name of the Crusaders resound throughout the entire continent. Of course, this was still just the beginning, a mere sprout.

They had trekked through the starry sky for a month. Could it be just to see this star system devoid of any life? Although the warship had not yet descended onto any planet, the scanners indicated that there was indeed no life in this part of the galaxy.
