"Rat-tat-tat!" A hail of bullets erupted from the soldiers' rifles, joined by the steady fire from Du Xueqi’s own weapon.

His wife wiped away her tears, yet they fell incessantly, as if they cost nothing at all; no matter how many she wiped away, more kept streaming down.

The mission was a rescue, and while a large group made movement cumbersome, a small team risked failure in the actual extraction.

Two days had passed since the declaration of war from Laozi arrived, and the Spirit of the Precious Tome had been providing intelligence that was consistently lagging. That old man certainly knew how to run. One moment he was in Datong, the next in the Yin Mountains, yet regardless of how his position shifted, he always remained in the vicinity of Dongsheng City.

As the Sect Leader of the Guanyin Sect, Gu Leng had never been reduced to such a state; in the past, tasks he could accomplish with a mere wave of his hand now required him to act in person.

However, Zhang Yiming could see the exhaustion on Xuanyuan Tuo’s face. The overnight journey must have drained much of his stamina, making them, in that regard, fairly evenly matched.

Zhang Yiming’s heart skipped a beat. Just then, a thunderous roar echoed, and several nearby trees crashed to the ground, their state suggesting they had been crushed by an immense, sudden force.

No matter how eloquent Chen Feng was, changing everyone’s ideology was no easy feat. Even if these people agreed now, there was no guarantee they wouldn't harbor thoughts of overthrowing the imperial court behind his back.

His eyes widened in a momentary daze. He then realized that this was the life-essence bead of a zombie, which naturally possessed an immense capacity to contain the yin energy of the world.

Thus, Akiyama Wushui realized everything that was about to unfold and sensed the desperate impasse from which there was no escape.

Sun Wukong widened his eyes in disbelief—he had clearly inspected everything with his Fiery Eyes of Truth just moments ago! Yet, he had detected no abnormalities, nor any sign that black and white had been swapped.

At this moment, the cultivation technique within Wu Tian stopped its forward flow, pausing at a single point. In that instant when all the forward momentum ceased, Wu Tian naturally would not let the opportunity slip by.

Han Dang realized that the Realm King Chen had arrived. He hurriedly knelt first, calling out, "Greetings, Realm King Chen!"

For these bigwigs, they stood to gain no benefits, lost their military power, and could not even guarantee their own lives! They would never agree to such a deal.

Qin Feng had initially expressed deep hatred for the descendants of evildoers, but his retreat at the critical moment left many surprised.

At this time, the city tower was surrounded layer upon layer, inside and out, packed so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

"That card of yours was just a lure; you'll find out in due time. I have other matters to attend to, so farewell." Ma Sanbao sneered, released his grip on Zheng Shanru’s head, pushed open the door, and strode away.

After saying this, Zhang Tongtian searched the memories of "Zhang Tongtian" within his own mind and discovered that there were no other relatives left. He concluded that there was no use in keeping the soul of "Zhang Tongtian" any longer.

"You plan to mooch off me? And eat my immortal beast meat?" Badger Brother stared at him with a strange expression.

The soldiers of the Ningxia Garrison had already become fully embroiled in the fray. If they were to open fire now, it would not only kill the enemy but their own brothers-in-arms as well.

"They asked me to help explore a secret realm, claiming it held many treasures that could alleviate their financial pressure, and they promised me a share," Aman replied.

Zeman was extremely annoyed, not by the match, but by Paparesta. While he admitted that Rinaudo was indeed suspicious, Paparesta should never have called that penalty; Del Nero looked much more like he was flopping.

"Children, are you looking for me?" A harsh, plastic-like voice drifted over, and instantly, the wind and smoke to the right were swept away in a different direction.

"Can you still serve as a mercenary after converting to the Holy Light Church? Doesn't that violate the doctrine?" Chu Yun asked with some curiosity.

The fat security guard’s face paled instantly. How did this guy know he had a kidney deficiency? Did he have X-ray vision?

"What acting? Who... who are you, and why have you tied us up?" Li Qi maintained an expression of confusion and terror.

"Ignore him, let him run. Young Hero, please continue your story," Ding Yi stopped her disciple. Once they understood the situation, they could just go find Yu Canghai; there was no need to waste time on a lackey.

"So, all those righteous heroes who died and were injured will just be forgotten?" Wang Jin had to admit, this Fei Bin fellow was quite good at stirring up trouble.

Where there is light, there is shadow; where there is day, there is night. Even the brightest candle has a moment when it goes out. So too, for the brightest of lives.

The crux of the matter was how he perceived those so-called descendants reappearing on the land of the Divine Provinces.

He hadn't driven today, and for some reason, he felt like taking a walk. Just then, his phone rang. Seeing the name on the screen, his expression turned solemn, and he answered the call.

Sun Meng said, "You saw it too. The Four Sacred Beasts, including the Qilin, are natural incarnations of certain wills. Gaining insight into the martial will from them is very helpful for my current level." Of course, he couldn't mention that he had also conveniently taken the bloodlines of the Four Sacred Beasts.

Lu Weiwei couldn't help but worry again. Could the possibility that Xie Zhizhen had mentioned to her really come to pass?

However, that one conversation had enlightened Lu Weiwei, and she benefited immensely. If she took a few more lessons, she might just reach a level of true mastery and extraordinary experience. Lu Weiwei thought to herself that she was quite clever to have found this angle to absorb experience. With such wit, there was no doubt she would win the heart of her handsome man.

Perhaps because he found his new form quite useful, Geed took every opportunity to use it in the subsequent battles, regardless of whether his opponents were truly that strong, and he even developed yet another new form.

As the Demon Race continued to develop, they felt their forms needed to change, so they gradually began to imitate the human race, leaving only the most critical parts behind.

"Enough of this nonsense!" Xia Bing’s patience vanished, and a ball of flame erupted in her palm.
