Volume One, Chapter 20: Lu Junshen Saw His Two Sons
Qianqiu lay on the ground, his expression largely unchanged, save for a hint of displeasure tempered by indulgence and patience.
In a moment of crisis, Liu Qingzhu’s quick thinking led him to employ an unconventional tactic, narrowly dodging a lethal blow. However, he remained defenseless. Should the shadow strike again, he would have no more tricks up his sleeve. With no other choice, Liu Qingzhu poured his remaining blade intent into a desperate effort to delay the shadow’s second strike.
Meanwhile, Senju Masao felt that the combined strength of the Konoha and Uzumaki clan shinobi was more than sufficient to hold off the Mist ninja army for several days; his only significant weakness was a lack of tactical command personnel.
"Bang! Bang!" At that moment, Agent Zero’s weapon fired again. He intended to seize the opportunity while Haotian was distracted by his severe injuries to finish him off, momentarily forgetting that his primary mission was to kidnap Gao Wen as leverage, not to kill him.
As for An Qinghui’s fears regarding the impossibility of trusting one’s own memories when associating with such people, such concerns were entirely unfounded.
Zhao Wuyou had long suspected that Odin would not concede so easily, yet the combat prowess currently on display still caught him by surprise.
From Gu Cheng-yu, who had endured the extraction of a bullet from his thigh bone without a flinch to claw his way up to the position of adopted son to a Mafia godfather, stopping at nothing in his pursuit of revenge.
Di Bai froze, turning around to see An Wan walking alongside a young man in a white lab coat. Di Bai frowned, a strange feeling flashing through his heart.
Liu Qingzhu could not operate a computer to organize the data, but he could use his mental energy to communicate, transmitting the information directly into others’ minds. This was far more efficient than manual input, leaving him frustrated that he hadn’t thought of it sooner.
It was not until his junior brother asked that he finally regained his composure, gripping his blade and saying, "Let’s go take a look!" as he led his brothers toward the Foundation Stone.
Spirit veins are classified into nine grades based on the spiritual power they contain and the scope of their influence, with the first grade being the lowest and the ninth being the highest.
"Damn, that’s actually possible?!" Yang Jie was equally shocked, never expecting Lu Jianxin to transform into such a state.
Yu Mei Niang watched, a single tear tracing a path down her cheek before shattering upon hitting the ground.
Integrating a demonic soul into one’s physical body may appear eerily powerful, but in reality, it possesses a fatal flaw.
She later learned that the man who defeated her father was the famed "God of War Prince" Chu Linghan of the Northern Chen Kingdom. She didn't care how formidable he was; if not for him, her father would not have died.
We returned to the guesthouse from the hospital. Mengxue urged me to call the police, but I refused. Qianshan County was in chaos, and with the investigation team still present, involving the police would only complicate matters further.
I grabbed Shuying as she moved to push the door open to argue, signaling her to remain silent, and listened with a faint smile to the voices outside.
The surrounding Martial Venerables and Sages, long since struck with terror, had retreated to the fringes of the Snow God Palace, fearful of being caught in the crossfire of the battle.
"It’s useless, Yang Jie. I am now the Body of the Demon God; you are doomed!" With a flicker of the wings on his back, Lu Jianxin vanished the gun shadows, and Yang Jie was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
This time, the likes of Zeus from the Holy See, Harry from the Magic Alliance, and the preeminent powerhouses of the vampires, werewolves, and savage tribes from all over the world had gathered here.
The Cangliu Robe shuddered violently as the ice magic power upon it crumbled and dissipated. Aisi was in a state of extreme shock, and by the time she regained her senses, it was too late to channel magic for defense.
Hua Bule was not in the manor either. Upon inquiry, the Lei family servants noted that the son-in-law had run off earlier, destination unknown.
His appearance, his will, and his contributions had long been etched into history, making him a figure known to all.
Li Yongle, lying there unable to move, wished he could slap the unbridled girl, Shi Yu, out of the room.
Dragon Tooth was warning Qin Li that if his father insisted on his course, he must be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice if necessary.
When he first heard the news, he thought he was suffering from auditory hallucinations, only confirming it again with the other party to realize it was no illusion.
This was a reach beyond their grasp; even if the imperial court obtained the token for the Fuzhou Sea Guard, would the Prince of Fu’s forces obey? Moreover, if the Prince of Fu were driven into a corner, rebellion would be inevitable.
Xiong Tong was deeply frustrated. With the Son of Heaven waning and the ambitions of local feudal lords surging, if the State of Chu could not achieve something in this era, it would likely face total annihilation.
The Underworld Emperor’s gaze was chillingly dark. He had intended to seek peace of mind before the Holy Ancestor while worrying about his heir’s safety, never expecting this unreasonable old fool to block him repeatedly with endless, fallacious nonsense.
The Heavenly Emperor was pressed close to her now, his hot palms clasping her hands, stroking them back and forth. What was he planning?
Ling Feng took the sniper rifle from Gadasha’s hands and pressed his eye to the scope to observe the blurred silhouette.
"To think such a singular person truly exists in this world." Huang Laoxie stared blankly at the fragments in his hand; had those sword flashes been directed at him, the outcome would have been clear.
He swept a cold glance at Jin Li and let out a scoff. "Hmph! What? Do you disapprove of me bringing her along?" As Mordo scoffed, a similarly sharp aura radiated from him, instantly intimidating the three ape-folk beastmen, including Jin Li, who had been arrogantly looking down on Lan Ruoxin.
His complexion was grim. Although the blood-sacrifice to the sword had been completed in a flash, a large portion of his cultivation was currently sustaining the child in his heart. As he swept across the light screen, the moment his arm met the blade, he could not help but tremble uncontrollably.
Uchiha Madara naturally appeared at the concert hall on Leutome Island as a spectator. He was happy to be relaxed, as he didn't need to exert any effort.
Tian Ya rolled her eyes directly at him: "Nobody is joking with you right now! Are you incorrigible, trying to play games with Karen again?" As Karen’s friend, she could not simply watch this guy hurt her time and time again.
