Chapter 46
Fortunately, although the mutant insects in Zone A posed an extremely high threat level, their numbers were very small. Having nearly devoured one another, they were far from the overwhelming swarms of before.
"I will certainly report this matter to General Han upon my return. I wonder how General Yan Xing fared when the General breached Jincheng Commandery?" At this mention, Yan Liang's tone carried a hint of agitation.
Lü Tao said with a smile, forcing a veneer of kindness onto his face in hopes of making his words more credible.
"Grandfather, what are you trying to say?" Mo Shaodong restrained his smile, sitting straight on the sofa and looking at his grandfather.
At that moment, at the Peak of Death within the Trial Grounds, no one could have anticipated Wu Chun's appearance. Because he had long ago cut off the challengers' advancement quests, he was stunned when he saw Wu Chun appear here.
Minina, at her wits' end, heavily struck the conference table to remind Han Biao not to derail the topic further, prompting Han Biao to finally behave.
When she truly regained consciousness, it was already two days later. Opening her eyes, her vision was still shrouded in a pitch-black gloom. She instinctively wanted to sit up, but as her wrist moved, she felt a restraint. An intravenous needle was taped to the back of her right hand—she had no idea how long the infusion had been running, and her entire arm felt cold and somewhat numb.
Shortly after Shi Xi left, dark clouds gradually rolled across the sky. On the ground, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ghost soldiers were advancing in strict, unified formation according to array tactics, while the remaining ghost soldiers protected the flanks under the shield of the array.
Having received no system prompt meant that Sabelu had not yet been burned to death; this was as simple as it could possibly be.
Although Ruyuan's words sounded like a question, Lian Qi was certain that the moment he voiced any opposition, he would likely be obliterated in an instant.
These fellows had failed to show up earlier, yet they rushed over precisely when he was preparing to wipe away his past shame. What was the meaning of this?
Su Jinli turned her head at the sound, and upon seeing Gu Mingjue walking toward her with a cheerful smile, her face instantly blossomed into joy.
Qi Zhixi woke up early, packed everything himself, and excitedly prepared to go to kindergarten.
Dr. Zheng looked at me very calmly and remained silent. I suddenly felt a sense of being looked down upon and looked at him nervously.
In fact, if he encountered a room with a very large floor area, his wings would be completely out of reach.
The most useless thing in this world is "regret"! Even if she regretted it to the depths of her soul, Su Jinli would not show her the slightest mercy.
I managed to go out with difficulty, set up a fragile barrier, and when I returned, Bai Jinghong had his upper body bare, propping himself up halfway. Sweat beaded on his forehead, yet his lips were utterly devoid of color, as if he were suffering from severe discomfort.
Zhan Qingxi pressed her lips together. Try as she might, she could not think of anything, so she simply gave up. "Never mind. As long as there's food!" Every time she went, the old man would instruct the kitchen to prepare an abundance of delicious dishes for her, leaving her utterly delighted. In a word: awesome.
After Yu Xi and I departed, news of the Empress Dowager's death soon came from the palace. Being well-versed in the cycle of reincarnation, I had no need to feel melancholy or sorrowful over the passing of a mortal; I merely felt a slight sigh that there was now one less person in this world who had witnessed the existence of Su Mianmian and Li Tan.
I had no idea what kind of play they were putting on or who it was meant for, but in any case, I didn't feel any pain at all. However, having been tormented by that aphrodisiac all afternoon, I was truly drowsy now and drifted straight to sleep with my eyes half-closed.
Upon arriving at this place full of memories, Yifan's mind instantly relaxed. Seeing that Mengyao's injuries were no longer critical allowed Yifan to finally lay down the heavy stone in his heart.
As for the Yin-Yang Elders, their eyes were now filled with shock. Only then did the two old men deeply realize that beneath this man's harmless appearance lay such an arrogant heart, and most importantly, he possessed the strength to back up that arrogance.
On the contrary, Tohka Yatogami, sitting beside the night side, showed no change in expression whatsoever, yet she gazed at Kurumi with a sharp gaze, as if she intended to coldly shoot her dead.
"Xiang'er." The other party revealed a smile and walked firmly toward her. His voice was also very pleasant, carrying the soft, gentle lilt of the Wu region. Paired with the address "Xiang'er," Yan Wan was somewhat at a loss for how to react.
Di Jun pushed the Two Treasures to their absolute limits, while the Ancestral Witches, sensing the breath of danger, also exerted their entire cultivation to the utmost.
Things are valued for their rarity. For a man who almost never spoke sweet words to suddenly utter such heartfelt and touching remarks, the effect was far more moving than any oath sworn to heaven and earth. Furthermore, Lu Xiangdong had indeed treated life and death lightly in the past, viewing such matters with indifference, which added an extra layer of authenticity to his words.
Suddenly, Wang Chen's brow furrowed slightly before he burst into a loud laugh. The two asked in confusion, "Husband, what are you laughing at? The fish I caught are no fewer than yours." Thinking Wang Chen was laughing at their fishing skills, they immediately offered a defense.
From the outside, Jixi looked dusty, flat, and entirely unremarkable, but the city was actually immense. Perhaps because the houses were built low, the buildings that should have risen vertically were instead spread out horizontally across the ground, making the city's area larger than one could possibly imagine.
As the saying goes, it takes all kinds to make a world, and naturally, there would always be some blind fools. However, one could easily guess their end: severe injury was the best-case outcome, while being blasted into utter nothingness was a frequent occurrence.
Song Gao's face turned cold, and he turned to look at Yang Tiexin on his left. Indeed, the previous counterbid had come from Tiexue Mercenary Corps Commander Yang Tiexin. Although both factions possessed Earth-grade alchemical furnaces, compared to this Azure Dragon Carved Cauldron, there was still a noticeable gap.
At this moment, Su Chen was overwhelmingly domineering. With a single kick, he sent the young man crashing completely into the wall, severing his life force and leaving him coughing up blood to die a miserable death.
The orange-yellow fierce sword, Hupo, erupted at this moment with a crimson, blood-like radiance. On Xia Bing's face—hitherto as cold as millennial ice—a fierce and surging excitement appeared for the very first time.
Chen Ziyun wore a peculiar expression, unable to fully agree with Ye Ya's deduction, yet he was well aware that Ye Ya seemed to know a great deal about the sacred grounds of the Dragon Guardians.
"Bang!" The lightning struck directly onto the zombie's head, and the formidable force shattered the ground beneath the zombie's feet, blasting out a bottomless abyss. The zombie was likewise driven downward by this terrifying power.
