After a long while, Wen Mengliang finally rose and walked over to the bathtub. Picking up a damp silk cloth, she wiped Wang Xu’s body from head to toe, leaving no part untouched.

Although he had inexplicably gained another enemy, the Human King’s power was limited in the Great Wilderness. With Huaxia’s current military strength, he had nothing to fear from him.

Zhuo Yue and the others had been evenly matched with the demon commanders just now, but only to lull them into complacency and prevent them from using some sort of suicidal technique that might cause massive casualties.

Watching Wang Hao speak earnestly from atop the city wall, the clansmen listened just as attentively.

Many of the infantrymen from the Tenth Legion had barely set foot on shore when stone projectiles hurled from the towers struck and killed them.

“Origin Transforms All Things!” The single sword instantly evolved into ten thousand swords. Every sword was different, and each represented the pinnacle of swordsmanship. The power of an individual sword had not increased, but their number had multiplied ten thousandfold.

With a tap of his staff, the old spider froze rigidly in place. A ball of flame appeared from thin air and enveloped his enormous, elephant-sized body.

The call was answered after only two beeps, as though Dad had happened to be holding his phone in his hand.

Then a dazzling figure appeared atop the walls of Verdant Harbor, striking terror into the hearts of countless elven lords.

Ao Guang was confident that in the sea, even if Li Jing and his three sons attacked him together, he would not be afraid. But he was not certain he could keep all four of them there. If that happened, the other descendants of the dragon clan would be in danger, and so would the Dragon Palace itself.

As a veteran card adept, Muladi had strengthened countless follower cards, but he had never seen one as strange as this.

Her breath was faint, and speaking even a single sentence seemed to exhaust her. Seeing this, Madam Zhang hurriedly brought over a stool for her to sit on. I sensed that neither of them would be trying to hack me apart anymore, so I put away my pistol and stood to one side.

“In the General’s Residence, you should address him as General, not son-in-law!” Ji Manrou’s voice suddenly came from behind me. I looked up and saw that her eyes were swollen. She must have felt wronged last night and wept alone after returning to her room.

“Master Jiang, you must take responsibility for what you say!” Ji Manrou was furious. She stepped forward and snatched the jar from my father’s hands to inspect it, but she could not make out anything unusual.

The Divine Dragon fell silent for a long time after hearing Li Mu’s request, as if searching through some information. The Divine Dragon had been created by Li Mu, so it basically understood what he meant by Earth.

A cold wind swept over us. Shen Yi quickly drew my coat around me and pulled me tightly into his arms. I did not know whether he was afraid of the cold or for some other reason, but I unexpectedly did not refuse and simply let him hold me.

That bone contained the essence of the sun and moon, and Da Ju often licked it. Mother said Da Ju had spent the past two days sleeping and had only just woken up today. Qiu Ming examined it. The spiritual energy within the bone seemed scarcely diminished. Was that because Da Ju had absorbed only a small amount, or could it restore itself?

With a burst of energy, he flung open the room’s main door. Then, with a twist of his fingers, he released the sealed acupoints on Hua Xuanji’s body and hurled her onto the luxurious bed.

This was an unexpected shift in strategic policy. Overall, the prevailing view within the circle remained unchanged, with stability as its central theme and guiding principle. Very few people would try to suppress a change in strategic direction.

After all, suicide was also a form of artistic performance. This “silver hairpin” very likely possessed a special ability to cause death and numb pain.

As time passed, that name gradually rose to prominence. Though she spent most of her days secluded in her inner chambers, she still heard it from time to time.

Actually, he had wanted to say it all along. But Dad and Mom had been preoccupied with asking for leave, planning their trip, and figuring out how to bribe their superiors into granting them more time off. He had felt too embarrassed to show off. In the end, a single phone call from Qiu Yan exposed everything.

“Big brother, don’t rush to refuse. See what we can do first.” The bald big shot seemed to have something to rely on and spoke with an air of confidence.

The Dreadhunt Spider grew frightened. It let out a roar that was fierce only in appearance and once again sprayed the web stored in its tail.

Hearing An Zhe’s voice, Stella crawled out of his arms. Her ceaseless sobbing looked so pitiful that An Zhe found it inexplicably amusing.

While the two of them stood ready for battle, An Zhe had already boarded the tram and was hurrying toward the academy’s exit.

When Ding Wudong saw He Yong suddenly sit cross-legged in the midst of battle, he assumed that He Yong possessed monstrous talent and was about to break through during combat.

One cultivator noticed something amiss. He immediately flicked out a finger, and a fierce gust of wind swept past, knocking the rogue cultivator from the sky.

He then began recounting various places he had once visited and the things he had once witnessed. Zi, standing nearby, occasionally added a few suitable remarks and filled in certain details.

Luo Tian supported himself against the mountainside. He did not know where to go. There was no one else around him at all.

The astral gale was ever-present, filling every place. It was black, as though it had covered the sky. Yet within this gray, desolate land at the edge of the world, another patch of black remained—a blackness darker than the gale itself, as if it were the king of all darkness. Before it, every other shade of black could only submit.

Whether they were direct descendants of Mount Qingqiu or disciples of some vassal clan or sect, none had anything to do with him. Ye Zhuo had no intention of wasting any thought on them. After seeing Fox Ling’er nod at him and begin activating her cultivation formula to refine the storage pouch, Ye Zhuo immediately withdrew his gaze and likewise began circulating his cultivation method.

Tens of thousands of gu larvae swarmed around the bronze fir monster. The two sides were utterly incompatible and tore into each other. The gu larvae had the advantage in numbers, but the bronze fir monster could swallow countless of them with a single flick of its tongue.

The Insect Mother had not been exerting her full strength all along. What she had held back was far from insignificant. At this moment, she suddenly unleashed it and pierced straight through the storm of blades and swords. Calling her a clumsy insect would have been absurd; even “extremely intelligent” failed to describe her. She was utterly cunning.

Before the words had even faded, a jade bottle had already landed before her. The Daoist Chang Shisan, who had thrown it over to make things easier for Daoist Hu Mei, had even removed the stopper for her. Waves of rich fragrance, mingled with the scent of blood, drifted from the bottle. Clearly, it contained more than just two pills.

Dozens of weapons shot out simultaneously, sweeping a street clean in a matter of minutes. Before the feudal lord, these soldiers seemed to have no defenses at all. One after another, they were pierced through their armor by several weapons and killed.

“Madam Zhong, there is no need to worry yet. Yan’er may simply not have recovered. Wait a little longer, and Yan’er will be fine,” said the Prophet.
