Twenty-six, twenty-six.

"Hmph!" Zhang Li let out a cold snort. With a sharp metallic clang, another Dragon-Affliction Sword Aura was unleashed with ferocious intensity. With a resonant hum, it merged with the previous aura, which was on the verge of shattering, and descended with the overwhelming force of heaven and earth.

"Who are you people? Why have you intruded into our space-time?" Suddenly, the void in front of Tang Shaoxiong began to ripple slightly.

It is said that humanity is divided into the living and the dead; the living dwell in the world of the sun, and the dead reside in the underworld. These skeletons beneath the water are the boundary between them.

Seeing my worried expression, Elder Shi sneered, "Just set your mind at ease." Elder Shi possessed great confidence in his gu-sorcery and insects, having never once failed.

"Very well, I shall grant you a favor!" Once these words were spoken, Qiang Yinlong turned around again and waved his hand toward a corner of the wall.

Among these patrol squads, there were no malevolent cultivators. They were currently hiding in the homes of citizens who had suffered repeated misfortunes in recent years, cultivating their baleful energy while waiting for their enemies to deliver themselves to their doorsteps.

Seeing her show no reaction, Yang Zhan tethered his horse to a nearby tree, then took the silver from his person and placed it beside Hua Linglong.

Li Zhi felt his spirit waver; it was as if her voice had suddenly pulled his consciousness back to the fragrant silk curtains of the Crown Prince's private chambers.

"If you can no longer walk, let me carry you for a stretch," Yuan Zongliang stared coldly at Sima Zhongcheng and said.

However, while murder and plunder were ordinary occurrences, they reminded Xin Lan of the rare treasures he had obtained from Shopkeeper Ling. Initially, he had no time to assess their quantity, but now he realized there were many. Even if their quality was mediocre, they still possessed certain useful effects.

It also wanted to flee, unwilling to serve as a mount, yet in its heart, it felt it could not escape the palm of that young man.

Yi Xingzi’s realm was slightly higher than that of Ancestor Baiyun, having already made initial contact with the laws of Yin and Yang.

If he were to reject her, she might turn to hate him. He said this with great sincerity.

In truth, from the perspective of a Bodhisattva, one does not care about love between humans and demons. But this was a good opportunity to spread the reputation of the Buddha. Thus, when Yang Lin performed his tasks, he could not simply strike them down with one blow; he had to take it slowly, much like the Legend of the White Snake.

This casual remark immediately invigorated the troops. What a domineering response! To capture the county government office—in the past, no one would have dared to dream of such a thing. Yet now, it had become an effortless task.

Wang Chen was utterly bewildered, complaining to Shen Rujun on the other end of the phone. He had never seen a mother who would坑 her own son so thoroughly, especially his own biological mother.

But the reality would likely disappoint Liu Dai, because the strength currently displayed by Zhang Yi and the Golden Dragon was beyond his imagination.

Then, the war of attrition within the mental world entered its second stage smoothly: the stage of Louis’s steady improvement, treating the Green Hulk entirely as a "grinding baby" for experience points.

Andris placed his hand on his waist in vigilance. Although he did not know what use this would be, he felt that this was the only way to find a sense of security.

It did not, as Taishi Ci had anticipated, submerge into Zhang Yi's body; instead, it was blocked outside.

Only then did the people understand that Zhu Rui from the previous act was likely unharmed; this was all a deliberate arrangement by the Mei Hong Pavilion. Zhu Rui's performance was always intended to conclude that way.

Hadn't the war in the west just ended in a triumphant return a short while ago? Why, with the New Year approaching, would the Hu people still be stationed in the capital?

Xue Chengzhang was full of rage, roaring, "Your filthy mouth will be the death of this family! Spending every day carousing with your band of fox-friends—before you bring about my end, I will beat you to death, you unfilial son!" Having said this, he seized an opening and delivered another kick.

"Damn, you actually returned this money?" Yan Dong’s attention was clearly fixed on the money.

Zuo Ming watched calmly as the water dragon surged toward her, a faint halo of light gathering on her fist—it was the vibrational power of the Quake-Quake Fruit.

Wang Jintong and the others were spouting nonsense as they parked their horses near a farmhouse with a large courtyard. Before they could even knock, the family's large yellow dog began to bark, and a middle-aged farmhand in his forties emerged from the house.

After Ye Xi finished speaking, he handed one half of the split military tally to Xiao Jifeng, and kept the other half for Yu Jintang.

Wen Shigui nodded, "That's the matter. I had been pondering it for two or three days before you returned, just couldn't make up my mind. By rights, I should have caused some trouble for Ma Yu, but after thinking about it, I decided against it. As long as I can answer to my own conscience, that is enough."

On this side, Jiang Lang and Qi Qing were busy with half-hearted gestures, politely inviting Chen Jiaoer and Liu'er to leave.

The back door was rather concealed; usually, it was where Wang Jintong and his group would go to conduct business, carrying sticks and blades, avoiding the public areas. Thus, the guests were completely unaware of the back door's existence. Moreover, the layout behind it was complex, filled with miscellaneous items and winding corridors; if one took the wrong turn, they would never find their way out.

Li Donghai not only held deep influence at Beihai University but also possessed excellent connections throughout Beihai. Otherwise, he would never have been able to rely on Li Donghai's connections to become the police captain of the university town.

In fact, given Zuo Shu's strength, he had long since discovered them, but he had no intention of paying them any heed. He had not expected, however, that they would dare to approach him at this moment.

Lu Xing'er was happily listening to Lu Yun and other generals discussing how to wage war, laughing from time to time. Lu Ping sat to one side but did not intervene, merely looking around listlessly before turning his head to gaze outside.

Early that morning, he transformed into Agul and entered the bridge. He first activated the self-defense system and shut down the main computer. Because he was unfamiliar with the control systems, he had to shut them down one by one. As for why he recognized the main computer, it was because this main computer, like Crisis, had been designed by him.

Vlad’s speed of flying backward increased sharply, soaring into the higher sky like a cannonball.

That day, the white News Coo flew across the world, spreading the word that the Fire Dragon Pirates had defeated the Whitebeard Pirates. Having seized the hegemony of the Whitebeard Pirates and claimed their territories, the flag of the Fire Dragon Pirates now truly fluttered over the seas of the New World.

Regardless of whether your friends are good or bad, as long as they are your friends, you cannot stab them in the back.

The strangest point was that the price of thirty thousand taels had clearly driven him away; why did he return?
