Volume 1, Chapter 29: The Poison Takes Hold

The palace was bathed in the dim, flickering light of candles as Ning Yunshu looked down upon the person on the floor with a sardonic smile.

"Don't be afraid; it's not a lethal poison."

She had witnessed his prowess when they first met, so she naturally had to take every necessary precaution.

Chang Ge struggled to prop himself up from the floor.

With such a formidable master present, it would be inexcusable for him not to intervene if a Spirit Tribulation cultivator were to make a move.

A flippant voice echoed in the air. It was Zoro, who, having slept all day, was now itching for a good fight and an opportunity to test his new blade.

As for what happened next, it went without saying; without the T-34 tanks, the Soviet infantry could hardly halt the advance of the German armored divisions.

Shurka knew who his opponent was—Guderian, the man known as the Father of Armored Warfare. He was not a man easily deceived, as evidenced by the 3rd Panzer Division remaining idle in Tula.

Mo Fan, having regained a sliver of strength, suppressed the searing pain in his meridians and sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing. He entered a state of meditation and remained undisturbed until the following morning. The sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze blew—a perfect day for an outing.

For them, this was more than just equipment; it was a boost to their confidence and courage in defeating the enemy.

Before long, the Pig King’s face was bristling with over a dozen arrows. With its mane, it finally looked complete. Judging by the damage dealt and the depletion of the Pig King's health bar, Li Anyi estimated that the beast possessed over 300,000 HP.

And so, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down"—it was only logical that the 333rd Regiment would be ordered to defend Moscow.

There was no point in further posturing. The second, third, and fifth brothers unleashed their ultimate techniques, determined to teach the arrogant Mo Xiaotian a lesson. The three of them attacked simultaneously, forming a "Three Talents" formation.

Gongsun Lin returned the trench coat to Tiya and brushed back her hair. They hadn't been drenched too badly; they were lucky, as the rain turned into a downpour the moment they ducked into the mall, the droplets growing increasingly dense.

I nodded, though I still had no idea what these things were. I also noticed a large, excavated pool in the very center of the tomb chamber, which seemed designed to hold something.

A few days later, with Qian Hui and Zheng Yanbo having returned to the Sunset Mountains, the group marched imposingly toward the territory of the Giant Herders, located within this uncharted mountain range.

What surprised him was the inability to fathom why Xiang Gangtian would demand more after consuming two portions. Could he really...? Shen Wei shook his head slightly. According to the intelligence he had gathered, Xiang Gangtian was undoubtedly an outsider. This meant he should only possess one dao meridian—a single-lineage talent.

"Come." Chen Xiaoran took Su Qing's delicate hand and led her to the sofa, gesturing for her to sit.

A brilliant light erupted from the stone platform, and a towering figure emerged from within. At that moment, the surrounding air began to hum with a rhythmic vibration.

However, to Xiang Gangtian's shock, the moment Shen Jiangliu made his move, his expression shifted drastically; he became completely demonized, roaring into the void.

After returning from the Southern Ridge Region, Dian Feng had planted the Demon Sunflower here, sealing its cultivation and confining it to the soil of the garden.

Upon entering the campus, the three of us headed straight for the Medical Department's laboratory building, only to find the area cordoned off with police tape.

My earnest advice to Dodo had failed. Now, I only hoped that I held enough weight in his heart that he would not attend Dorgon’s concubine-taking banquet.

It might appear that he had lost four great generals to help Luo Yusheng gain a foothold and level up, but upon closer reflection, it was hard to say who had truly profited.

Chu Yan appeared again during this horseback archery lesson, but he paid little attention to her, even deliberately keeping his distance as if they were strangers. Yun Ge was more than happy with this attitude; she wished he would remain this way forever.
