Volume One, Chapter 71: Kill!

As soon as Li Tianqing finished speaking, a Turkic soldier rushed up to him, raising his curved blade high and bringing it down toward Li Tianqing! Seeing this, Li Tianqing hurriedly swung his own blade to parry; the clash between the curved blade and the long sword rang out with a piercing sound!

The Turkic soldier’s arm was numbed by the impact, forcing him to retreat several steps before regaining his balance. Li Tianqing, too, felt his palm go numb, almost losing his grip on his long blade.

Such strength!

Li Tianqing thought to himself, realizing that the combat prowess of the Turkic people was indeed not to be underestimated. Though startled inwardly, he maintained a calm exterior. Seizing the moment as the Turkic soldier retreated, Li Tianqing rushed forward, swinging his blade horizontally at the soldier’s waist...

He had intended to ignore the fighting outside, but in an instant, the boat’s canopy was torn open by a sharp sword, shattered beyond repair. The boatman, terrified, abandoned the vessel and fled, fearful of losing his life there.

The two passed through the Imperial Garden, coincidentally encountering Mu Chi, who was on patrol with a squad of guards behind him.

Meanwhile, Ping An returned the same way, arriving at Lotus Lake just as the sun was setting. Princess Anle led her entourage out from the waterside pavilion, gathering in grand procession by the shore, clearly preparing for a lake outing.

“Step by step, that’s how it goes. The funds for Blackwater weren’t reduced alone; they were cut as part of the overall reduction for the Xuanqing Guard. Restoring them will be the same. But lately, things are improving, and the funds will gradually be added back. You don’t have to urge me; I’ll make sure it’s handled promptly.”

Some could manifest half an arm, others half a body, some only a foot.

Even more puzzling, tasks like pathfinding, leading the way, early warning, marking locations, and mapping—those meticulous jobs—were all dumped onto Yuan Kai by Yuan De. Yuan Kai did not complain in the slightest; instead, he accepted them with pleasure, almost begging his companions to grant him even more such tasks.

The man in the black robe slowly approached Wind-bell Orchid. His face was obscured by black stardust. No matter how close he got, Wind-bell Orchid could not see his features, but she clearly saw that at the tip of his hair, he wore a dark pendant bead.

Not long after, Shen Hao left the command headquarters, leading a group of guards through the teleportation array to the imperial city, where he went straight to Jiang Cheng.

It’s often said that nine out of ten handsome men are scoundrels, but today, it seems Chen Yang must be the last good one.

He arrived at school as usual, though this time with Ibuki Fuko at his side. Yet, it seemed little had changed.

He simply wanted to buy Arsenal a bit more time, that’s all. There were plenty of spare footballs on the sidelines, but Liu Hao’s actions could delay the game by at least ten seconds.

Wang Dong spoke slowly, stepping out of the hot spring pool. With each step, the water in the pool surged upwards, forming solid steps beneath his feet.

Thanks to Ding Yi’s northern and southern campaigns, the realm was largely pacified; the troubled borderlands—Yun Yuan and the two Guang provinces—had undergone land reforms. Yunnan and Guizhou initially lagged, but as the poor migrated to Yun Yuan and the Guangs, the landlord class was forced to reduce rents and interest rates, achieving preliminary land reform there as well.

Everyone present was astounded. What on earth was Converse up to? Whom could he enlist to persuade Huo Yankai? Who could possibly have such ability?

“Your subordinate obeys.” The general, hearing Li Yu’s words, truly could not imagine what sort of weapon Li Yu meant by ‘rifle.’ So he simply followed Li Yu’s instructions.

Protect the Ground Headquarters and prevent Scarlie Eddy from attacking the Time-Space Administration. Prevent the predicted destruction of the Ground Headquarters.

Some youths dared not engage in combat; killing with a rifle or bayonet was not the same as hacking someone to death with a blade or axe.

“We’re not old, just old at heart. We can be young like Liu!” Podolski smiled, infected by Liu Hao’s enthusiasm.

“I know, you don’t need to say any more.” Zhen Sujun’s expression was exceedingly grim as she spoke in a low voice.

A mid-level cultivator, seeing Qi Lin retreat to her cave, cursed and said through gritted teeth, “Since you refuse to help, we’ll drag you in to face this together.” He greeted his companion, and the two shrank toward the cave entrance, trying to retreat inside.

As Sun Fei finished speaking, Lin Miaoyu seized the opportunity to suck on Sun Fei’s finger, gazing at him. In that moment, Sun Fei was not angry. He slowly inserted his finger into her mouth, releasing a stream of mysterious energy from his fingertip into her body.

Xiao Yong charged into the Ling Shui Sect’s formation, darting left and right, targeting late-stage Martial Emperors as if no one could stop him.

The two robust military dogs kept lunging, as if intent on tearing apart the two fugitives who had made them chase for three days. The fugitives lay face-down, pressed tightly to the ground, not daring to move a muscle.

“Haha! We arrived just in time, and there’s a real fight to be had! Senior Brother Xiao is incredible. Come, who’ll fight me? Once Senior Brother Xiao shows up, none of us stand a chance!” A hearty laugh rang out from a nearby mile away—it was Min Chenhui and Gu Hanhai.

“Understood!” From the moment the battle report was received, whether veteran or recruit, everyone’s mood turned heavy; even the air seemed denser. Fortunately, their training held firm, and they responded without a hint of hesitation.

“Boom!” A thunderous explosion shook the room, and everyone jumped to their feet as a screen partition shattered and crashed down.

“A good deed a day,” the phrase flashed across Sun Fei’s mind. If he could, Sun Fei would prefer to do a hundred good deeds daily—what bliss that would be. He smiled lightly and shook his head. Human hearts are unpredictable; a good deed may not always be met with gratitude.

Once locked on, Luo Lin wasted no time, immediately releasing his mental power and letting it pulse in a rhythmic pattern across his body.

“This system has no parents! Master, please don’t fabricate such irrelevant things for the system...” The system suddenly retorted.

Si Zhengting rarely struck people himself. First, his upbringing would never allow him to engage in such acts, and second, few people were ever worthy of his personal intervention.

“To use one thing in exchange for two, Fellow Daoist Song, your talents are wasted not running a business,” Yang Linglan said with a smile. Song Jian truly was a shrewd trader, hoping to swap something his sect couldn’t even identify for two legendary treasures. Did he take her for a fool?

She knew Tian Tian was unaware who was on the other end of the phone, and as a three-year-old child, play was more important to her than anything.
