The truth was that Zhang Xiangming was afraid that if he kept hitting, the spirit-resentment garments would disperse; after all, he was here to put on a show, not to fight.

Deep within the decisive mountain range, Mo Puzi's aura gradually withered and grew listless. His crimson pupils slowly lost human rationality, and a primitive, beast-like roar issued from his throat.

The shape of this object was slightly peculiar—slender in the upper half and somewhat thicker in the lower half. Its proportions were quite balanced, and it possessed symmetrical left and right sides, clearly having been meticulously polished.

Looking at the chicken leg offered to her, Su Zhiwei knew deep down that Jiang Yinghua's gesture of filial flattery must have an ulterior motive.

Above, a massive expanse of dark clouds slowly drifted across the sky. The heavy clouds pressed down, seemingly portending an imminent danger.

Who would have thought it could be misinterpreted to this extent? Can't they just assume that I possess world-shaking talent and vision, capable of calculating the future?

Having survived through an era of turmoil, what kind of hardships had they not experienced, and what kind of suffering had they not endured?

Old Taoist Mountain was the highest peak of Green Dragon Mountain, flanked by precipitous cliffs on two sides and a field of jagged stones on another, leaving only a single path passable.

He sat down upon the nearby sofa with a trace of solitude, poured himself a glass of wine, and drained it in a single gulp.

As this torrent of energy continuously integrated and was steadily refined, Sean could feel that he was now merely a hair's breadth away from the sixth tier of momentum.

The wound on Lu Zhen's shoulder had been re-bandaged. The doctor had administered a sedative, and her body temperature was gradually returning to normal.

Moreover, even before the reinforcements had arrived, he had dared to lead men straight into the enemy camp to rescue her.

Meanwhile, Yao An and those elderly scholars had fought their way from the summit down to the base of the mountain, and by this time had reached the open farmland at the foot of Fuyao Mountain.

Yun Zhiguang was so overjoyed that he immediately announced a company-wide holiday, then headed off to a hotel to host a celebration banquet.

Yun Shangtian tossed the engagement arrangements to his four elder brothers to resolve, instructing them to show no courtesy whatsoever to Zhan Yingmei.

Han Luoxue understood that what truly disappointed Shen Furong was not that Zhou Zaiming was irresponsible, but that he refused to give even a clear stance, choosing instead to face the situation with evasion. Such behavior was deeply heart-wrenching.

Because he had always held Lin Banzhou in high esteem, he was unwilling to offend him excessively. After all, both resided in Yanling City and were bound to cross paths frequently; he preferred not to burn his bridges completely.

Powell's reaction time with that shot was by no means slow. It seemed that his "pre-tournament extra training" in Japan had not adversely affected him much.

Even though his own strength had increased significantly, he was still being beaten soundly. Could it be that a pilgrimage to Ersha Island for tutelage was truly unavoidable?

Yan Jingting nodded. In truth, he knew very little about this He Que. Having spent his entire career in the military, he paid little attention to the various transcendent factions, as those entities were monitored and managed exclusively by old Yang's mysterious unit; hence, his mind had never dwelt on such matters.

"Fine!" Unexpectedly, Monkey raised no further objections. With a single nod, he plunged directly into the pool of water, showing seemingly no reluctance whatsoever.

The tides turn; when the day comes that he has to beg me, I will surely torment him thoroughly and make him taste the consequences of blackmailing others.

The short, stout driver of the white pickup truck was thoroughly familiar with the local roads. Weaving through a few turns, he managed to shake off the off-road vehicle tailing far behind.

Yet when he wanted to strike someone, he was able to hit people within this space because he himself originally existed within this realm.

Watching her sweep gracefully toward them like an immortal descending from the heavens, everyone held their breath. In their half-intoxicated state, they mistook her for a blue fairy come down to earth.

Terrified, the crowd who heard Li Tianle's words saw their blissful expressions instantly turn ashen, cold sweat beading across their faces.

Seeing that Nie Feng had already intervened, Liu Gang decided to take a gamble. He only blamed himself for being too hasty; he should have waited until Lu Biao stepped out of the orphanage before making a move, but now it was simply too late for regrets.

Hong Xiuquan now felt some remorse for dealing too harshly with Chen Yucheng, but once the imperial decree had been uttered, how could it ever be retracted?

"Forgive me, honorable uncle. Rest assured, I will not let you suffer." With those words, Miao Jingkai drew his pistol and aimed it directly at Miao Peilin's heart.

Mindful of his own prestige and reputation, he did not voice his curses aloud, but merely harbored them in his thoughts, clenching his fists and grinding his teeth.

Naturally, as an important maritime port and ferry terminal, Heraklion boasted extremely smooth transportation. From here, passengers could take ferries to Santorini, Rhodes, Egypt, Haifa, and the Greek mainland.

Zhou Yang's expression turned somewhat cold. He had originally planned to sell the melons to urgently raise funds, but now that so many were ruined, selling them was out of the question.

Ye Feng did not dare to block the attack head-on and instantly retreated... Fighting four opponents at once, how could he possibly prevail? The moment he parried one, Qatar's true form would shift among the remaining three.

"A bet is a bet, why wouldn't one accept defeat?" Silver Snake frowned, wishing only for this farce to come to a swift end.

"What is it? Is it a very important call?" Han Muxi asked, noticing Shen Aoning's helpless expression as she held her phone.

The white-robed youth had remained completely motionless until the sun dipped below the snowy peaks, at which point he finally opened his eyes. A flash of red light suddenly erupted from his pupils and lingered for a long time.

Armor-piercing rounds were bullets capable of inflicting injury upon Xiantian realm experts. While he might not fear them, his subordinates certainly might not be as fortunate.

Unwilling to let the atmosphere between them revert to the previous stalemate, she resumed the conversation and began chatting with Shen Aoning once more.

"Captain Zhou, our people inform me that there is a secret cave in the Hundred Flowers Valley of Daoxiang Village, and inside there is a stone door. I wonder if we might go take a look," Wang Yong said.

Just as Li Hai was about to rap against the door once more, the dark-robed woman's neutral voice sounded out: "There is no need to knock. No one is inside; could you have come to the wrong room?"

Yet after searching everywhere—neither on the walls nor beneath my feet—I could find no hidden door. Finally, I focused my gaze once again upon that stone platform. If there were no secret doors in the room, the only possible hiding place would be right there. Failing to notice it before, I now observed that the length, width, and height of this stone platform were amply sufficient for a person to lie inside.

She simply couldn't fathom it. Everything had been fine just a moment ago, so why had his expression suddenly shifted? What was the meaning of this? Zhong Qing realized that this time, she could not guess what was on his mind.

Police officers were not entirely incompetent. Once they gave chase, escaping again would be exceedingly difficult. If not for the element of surprise earlier, how could they have successfully snatched a living person right out from under the police's noses?

Mo Yichen had always considered himself invincible, never having lost to anyone—anyone at all—yet Zhong Qing had managed to ride roughshod over him twice now.

Yet compared to last time, this liquid was vastly different. Back in Qixian, through Jisun's dual worlds, I had witnessed multicolored auras. After that light swallowed the monk's head, like a lump of dough, it actually began to transform into a human shape. Yet having suffered a palm strike and a flurry of blows from Lian Daozhen, it immediately collapsed.
