“Then let me be a brute! Whatever happens, I will never turn back. Let’s go!” Liu Huo soared into the air and landed behind Luo Lianyi. Snatching the riding crop from her hand, he raised it and brought it down with a sharp crack.
“Your Majesty, once you have taken your medicine, I shall withdraw. Seeing you like this pains me, and Sister Xier, watching from heaven, would be heartbroken too,” Consort Xue said through her sobs.
Yet Zhang Yu felt not the slightest contempt. At the ammunition feed of that multibarrel machine gun hung a belt of bullets, each as thick as a thumb, dangling all the way to the ground.
After Mu Chen heard Nian Qi explain their abilities, he immediately realized that the eight of them corresponded precisely to the eight trigrams.
“Don’t take it to heart. You are the baby’s good aunt. I’ll take you home to rest for a while…” In the car, Ke Dong noticed the pallor on Xiao Qiyue’s face. Knowing that she was blaming herself again, he comforted her gently.
With a single point of Zhan Tian’s finger, space flickered and vanished, one temporal dimension after another collapsed, and entire kingdoms perished. This move was known as Destruction. It destroyed everything, and all things in existence died within it.
The three of them entered the temple, and Shen Shisan immediately asked one of the Buddhist disciples about Old Master Guxu, for he had come neither to pray for blessings nor to worship Buddha.
While Feng Qingchen admired the old man’s martial prowess, the old man was likewise astonished by him. He, too, had not expected this somewhat arrogant young man to possess such formidable skill.
The man had fair skin, red lips, eyes bright as stars, a nose sharp and prominent, and swordlike brows slanting into his temples. Though he wore coarse hemp clothing, it could not conceal the dazzling radiance about him. His voice was clear and resonant, his confidence unmistakable. Judging from the silent footwork he had displayed moments earlier, he was clearly a master of martial arts.
At that very moment, the poisoned man also rushed before me. He raised his hand and reached straight for my body.
She praised him with words of deference, yet a sly glimmer flickered faintly in her long, narrow eyes, making her look like a fox.
“I don’t want to talk! I don’t want to talk! I don’t want to talk!” Ruan Shu had evidently guessed what he was about to say. She cut him off in a burst of desperation, her emotions suddenly growing fierce, as though she had become an entirely different person.

The moment they reached Ernest’s stronghold, Luke hurriedly threw the fellow off the ship. Muttering that he never wanted to see him again, he started the vessel and prepared to leave the stronghold.
Although the memories of the Azure Stone Prison-Heaven Realm had been erased, faith in the Seven Saints still remained. The momentum of the devastating strike that was about to erupt immediately weakened.
This fundamental and irreconcilable contradiction made the clergy extremely cautious when using magical artifacts.
A faint electromagnetic hum arose. It sounded insignificant, but its power was anything but.
I lightly tapped the ground with my triangular scraper, signaling the Big Tortoise to hurry over. The two of us could eat together, so there was no need to dawdle.
As I had said many times before, after reaching this point—especially after repeatedly surviving death and being reborn through nirvana—Qingshi no longer doubted that the Supreme Dao would certainly reserve a place for him.
The camera on the blue mecha was smashed. The mecha pilot inside hurriedly activated the backup camera, but in his panic he actually loosened the mechanical arm gripping the black mecha. Lin Miaomiao seized the opportunity and snatched back her captive.
After a month of such peaceful and comfortable living, I finally could not hold back any longer. I sought out Luo Qiaoyu to discuss whether it was time to retrieve the Purple Jade Casket. Had she not kept insisting that the time was not yet right, I would have gone long ago.
Worshiped by countless people and standing high above the world, looking down upon the mortal realm—what did they ultimately gain besides loneliness?
Although Lei Juekun appeared to be shining brightly, all kinds of problems had left him overwhelmed. Kowloon Motor Bus was undoubtedly his main business, but after the Hong Kong government introduced profit controls seven years ago and restricted its annual return to no more than sixteen percent, the company’s stock price had remained weak for years.
The death of their comrade seemed to spur the other soldiers as well. A great many spears immediately began attacking, turning the arrogant, seemingly invincible zombie into a porcupine in an instant.
A certain hapless cook, caught in the crossfire, gazed up at the sky. It was no secret that she possessed numerous spatial storage devices. She had only herself to blame for joining the fleet and focusing exclusively on the handsome captain with his formidable strength, while paying no attention at all to news of the captain’s fiancée.

Precisely because they had never lost, the central government attached extraordinary importance to this war. It demanded that, in the opening battle, at least half of the Vietnamese army’s Soviet-equipped divisions be crippled, completely shattering their courage to resist our forces and making them fear the army of the Middle Kingdom from the depths of their souls.
After Shi Yaoqian unconsciously revealed what he had done, You Zixin knew that trouble was coming. Yet he could not help conceal it. After all, the truth could not remain hidden forever, and once Lin’s father learned of Miaomiao’s choice, he would certainly ask why.
These three divine artifacts were transformed from the colossal axe with which Pangu split heaven and earth. Apart from sorcery, they were humanity’s greatest reliance.
The truth was more or less as Feng Liqin had guessed. Last night, while Captain Ye was away at a meeting, a certain cook called Big Brother for help in removing the bedroom door lock and installed the newest authorization lock available on the interstellar network. Without the proper authorization, no one could enter.
Unfortunately, Shen Xian rarely appeared in public. Aside from the first Academy Tournament, he had not participated in any of the dozen or so tournaments that followed. Most members longed to see this most mysterious of the Firmament Society’s founders, but none had ever been granted the chance.
“What? Hypnosis? Do you think this is some kind of magic show?” Han Shuo had seen people hypnotized before, but that had always been done while the subject was deeply relaxed—not in a situation like this.
Shen Xian sensed that his Nascent Soul had stopped growing, and he also felt as though a great calamity were about to descend. He dared not continue cultivating and withdrew the Nascent Soul into his body. At that moment, however, the sense of impending disaster grew even heavier.
This time, Wang Hao was genuinely angry from the bottom of his heart. Compared with ordinary people, Zhenbai’s physical condition was considerably weaker, as fragile as a delicate work of art that might shatter at the slightest touch.
“Could Yixiaoxiao also be studying psychology online? That shouldn’t be necessary. Doesn’t she have Bai Ran?” At the mention of Bai Ran and Yixiaoxiao, Li Yifan’s mood suddenly sank.
