Volume 1, Chapter 57: No Sooner Said Than Done

"However, what time should we choose?"
"How about tonight? Let's get this settled early so we can head south sooner."
"Very well, I'll have someone prepare the pine resin and kerosene right away."
"This plan is simply brilliant, truly brilliant! How come I didn't think of it? Such a good plan..."
Wu Santong remained immersed in Liu Feng's boldness and meticulousness.
Liu Feng added, "Chief Escort, whenever you are out on escort missions and come across items like sulfur and saltpeter, be sure to buy them back for me."
"The price doesn't matter; as long as I see the goods, I want them."
Though Wu Santong did not yet grasp Liu Feng's intention, he nodded in agreement anyway.
......
The place where the water bandits entrenched themselves had a unique geographical location, crisscrossed by waterways. A location like this was very...
Though that was what he thought inwardly, his outward expression remained sinister without the slightest flaw.
Crafting cards was something that not only consumed mental energy but also physical stamina, so he naturally had to seize the time to rest and recover his strength and vigor.
Zhou Ling'er in the corridor still could not believe everything that had happened until the consul shouted loudly right beside her ear, snapping her back to reality.
"It is merely a sparring match, why resort to a fight to the death!" At that very moment, an aged voice resounded.
The Northern Domain was one of the four surviving domains, and countless members of the human race had fled into it. Blood-Burning City originally had a population of several hundred thousand, but now it boasted over a million.
The warrior struggled for quite a while before finally compromising. "All right then." Enoch shrugged helplessly, took the money bag, and tied it tightly around his belt.
Xiao Fan and Jue were truly fortunate; the ship's course was heading directly toward Katyusha Island and would pass right by them.
Major Tamoto was an elite operative of the Yata Shrine, possessing a brilliant mind and wisdom. Only by combining formidable martial might with wisdom could one be invincible.
His words left the powerhouses of the Sacred Fire Universe present with expressions of intense dissatisfaction, yet they could find no words to refute him.
"No wonder you used to say that the more you talk with Fern, the more he can see right through you. I finally understand what you meant." Niche could not help but admire Fern's sharp observational skills.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Tian Qianqian felt that everyone seemed a bit strange.
The Emperor walked to the bed, gazing at Qin Yi's pale, bloodless face. Though she should have looked disheveled, there was a morbid beauty to her that inexplicably stirred one's pity.
In order to help A Lang gather his shattered soul fragments and resurrect him, she had shown no mercy whatsoever to the reincarnations of these soul fragments. She had never considered things from their perspective, nor cared whether they wished to live, plotting in every possible way to bring about their death.
Throughout her four years in university, both her studies and her career had been smooth sailing. Many predicted that she would undoubtedly win the title of Best Actress within two years.
Summoning the "Heavenly Thunder," the advanced immortal-refining realm's authenticated spirit-attacher declared, "Go on in!" Only then did the examiner let them pass.
"No, my martial qi?" Instantly, Xiao Min collapsed in a faint. His entire foundation of innate martial qi had actually been shattered by someone bare-handed?
Elder Song's expression remained calm. "Desperation breeds innovation! If the Profound Heaven Gate lacks resources, we must find a way to integrate them!"
Tang Feng's face was ashen, filled with extreme wrath, yet those black flames were exceptionally domineering, preventing even him from stepping within a single step for a long time.
Ever since one of his brothers had fallen into depression upon reaching adulthood without awakening any supernatural powers, he had been searching for a way to completely integrate ability users with ordinary people.
Dan Chen thought to himself that the opportunity had arrived. He lunged forward toward Zhou Mingyang in a single bound, unleashing the Vine-Binding Hands he had practiced for many years.
Originally, Xiaoyang had thought he could have some passionate romance with Mu Bing at Jiaoda, especially since Ye Xuan was not at Jiaoda. However, the situation was different now; Mu Bing and Yang Liu were both at the same school, and if things really came to blows, it would inevitably become cumbersome since he did not want to offend either of them.
After all, possessing the Medicine Emperor Cauldron was equivalent to instantly elevating oneself to the pinnacle of alchemy masters. As long as one had the materials specified in the alchemy recipes, one could attempt to refine heaven-defying pills.
With a cold gaze and without the slightest pause, Long Yan let out a cold snort and directly flipped Ling Daoxiao's body up right in front of him.
Where the sword flashes collided, space shattered inch by inch, and astral winds raged, transforming the area into a pitch-black void.
Before the Zihua Saint Son could recover his wits, the former had already stepped out of the spatial rift. The parting words left the Zihua Saint Son's mouth agape, while an unprecedentedly complex expression surfaced on his face.
"But the population of the large bases..." Chang Sheng said with some worry. The relocation of the Jilin Base had gone relatively smoothly, but even so, it had taken a very long time.
"You're courting death!" A flash of light appeared in Xiaoyang's hand, accompanied by a terrifying aura. The God-Beating Whip was once again drawn by Xiaoyang. His mind was made up; if Yang Liu dared to act presumptuously again today, he wouldn't mind finishing him off here first.
One could only imagine how much his strength had surged; at least he could now burst forth with the peak strength of the fourth tier of the Heavenly Martial Soul.
"Hehe, that doesn't matter, after all, you aren't ordinary people." Yang Liu said something that made even Xiaoyang feel a bit light-headed.
"Our happiness?" Long Yan understood instantly what she was referring to, but the words stalled on his tongue and he did not continue. Tang Ningyan let out a coy cry, grabbing the Enchanting Demon Queen with both hands to signal her to stop speaking, her face flushing crimson.
Just as his voice fell, Monkey-Man Zhang had already stumbled backward, the bronze staff in his hand vibrating loudly. He had actually been forced back by a single palm strike from A Shui, numbing the web between his thumb and forefinger. Yet, unwilling to drop his staff, it shook violently in his grip. When the staff finally came to a stop, his hand was already bleeding.
That sentence—from then on, the Wen family would have no Wen Wan—concluded Wen Wan's wish, yet it also marked the beginning of all karmic debts.
"It doesn't matter. No matter what, I am the operator of a specialized machine, and my physical stamina is above average..." Charlotte was about to continue speaking when she lost her footing due to the weight, and Liuxing immediately caught her from behind.
