Chapter 48
A heavy blow shattered Jiang Yin's scapula and pierced his internal organs. The intense impact churned his insides like a stormy sea, and he opened his mouth with a wave of nausea as fragments of organs and blood spewed forth from his distended throat.
The five Dao Sovereigns did indeed place a high value on Ancient City, though it was not their top priority, ranking third instead.
A premonition told him that a major event was likely to occur in the future, and for cultivators of their level, such premonitions were remarkably accurate.
However, as she grew older, in order to maintain the loli image cherished in Fang Lenghan's heart, she deliberately kept herself from growing up, leaving Ye Chen utterly speechless.
Nurse Zhang nearby was clearly thinking along the same lines, except she had not expected anyone to actually dare to steal the imperial concubine's thunder. It was neither too early nor too late, but precisely during this rare occasion when the Emperor had not set foot in the harem for over a month and, upon finally coming, had thought of the imperial concubine first—how could such a delightful prospect be blocked by a mere maid?
Looking at the sparsely populated classroom, Li Zhou muttered to himself, "It seems that no matter the era, far too few people are willing to study traditional Chinese medicine."
Although Yang Fang did not personally enter the fray, he constantly hovered on horseback nearby to survey the battle and conveniently disposed of a few bandits attempting to escape.
Shangguan Jingtang had long since led the Shangguan family astray into the demonic path; had it not been for him, the family would never have been reduced to such a plight.
The Dream Source Ancient Beast only knew that the Dao superior to his Dream Dao was the Nine Heavens Dao, though what Dao lay beyond that, he had no idea.
Having finally finished chopping the coal, Shen Xing walked straight to the bow, intending to jump into the sea to reach the shore, only to be tripped by a floating chunk of ice due to momentum.
"Senior has misunderstood. This member of the Corpse Clan is actually my junior brother's puppet. Without his command, the corpse-man would never commit any atrocities!" Xuantian explained to the old man, clearly wishing to avoid a greater misunderstanding.
"If one could control this Dao ant, would it be possible..." The more Qin Yu thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. If he could control this Dao ant, there would be no need to tend to these medicine fields at all.
As for the Heavens... they were known as the supreme rulers of the universe, wielding the most formidable powers of creation—the Dao of Heaven and the Great Dao. Due to limited records, Qin Yu was unable to fully comprehend what manner of existence the Heavens truly were.
I must admit, this harvest vastly exceeded Qin Yu's expectations. Among the spoils were a sub-immortal-grade bow, countless spirit stones, Dao artifacts, defensive Dao artifacts, and by no means a small number of Dao pills.
"Boom!" A thunderous roar suddenly erupted within the space. Everyone felt an overwhelming, towering pressure flood their surroundings, a dread that struck terror into the hearts of all present.
His spear technique differed from Zhao Yun's, lacking the majestic "dragon springing from the spear" style of Zhao Yun, yet it possessed a piercing, cunning sharpness of its own.
After being sprinkled with vital blood, the red phantom fled rapidly. However, it was evident that the red phantom had grown much dimmer, clearly having been injured by me.
In an instant, Zheng Chen's body tingled as if struck by electricity. He instinctively pulled his hand back, staring in utter disbelief at the giant cauldron before him.
Inside lay state-of-the-art equipment, the kind one would likely only ever see on screens playing Hollywood blockbusters. Sun Qian clicked his tongue in wonder; constructing such a base must have cost an astronomical sum. It seemed China harbored far too many secrets that ordinary people could never touch in a lifetime.
Once Sun Buting poured out everything he knew like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, Zheng Shuguang fell into deep thought.
In the dead of night, Li Chunni, accompanied by two robust men, returned to the encampment of the Kaishanling Special Operations Unit.
Her mind raced through a thousand thoughts. Doomsday City was certainly no major metropolis, yet why did someone thousands of miles away already know about it? That could only indicate one thing: someone had been keeping a close eye on Doomsday City all along.
Guan Heping went to look at Chai Hua, but Chai Hua slowly sat up, crawled over to Ren Huifeng, and threw his arms around him. "Hit me! Go ahead and hit me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Chai Hua choked out through his sobs, and once he finished speaking, he buried his face in Ren Huifeng's shoulder and wept bitterly.
"Fine, fine, fine. You may leave, you may leave." Jarred out of his stupor by Chai Hua's question, Xiong Zongqi snapped back to reality, answering repeatedly while instinctively rolling his wheelchair backward.
Since Pandora Online was currently merely a free software, they could simply use the 'Wande Map' directly. While free things could never be entirely precise, it would suffice for the time being.
As he spoke, the long-haired man actually stepped forward to grab Xiaomeng, frightening both Xiaomeng and Song Qian into swatting away the man's filthy hands.
The middle-aged man in white was at least a cultivator, but a demon king was nothing more than a beast; even if it took human form, it remained a beast at its core. Thinking of this, Xiao Rang could not help feeling a chill run down his spine, as if he could finally empathize with Guan Wu's current state of mind.
The remaining four assailants surrounding the disciples of the Exalted Heaven Palace all stared with wide eyes, disbelief written across their faces. That man had slain their leader in the blink of an eye. His strength was simply too overwhelming to contend with, and in that fleeting instant, the urge to retreat took root in their minds.
Ever since the intimate encounter last time, Li'er had been somewhat reserved whenever she saw Li Zhishi these days.
"This is a long story and cannot be made clear in just a few words," Fengxiang said, shaking his head and sighing.
