If Jiang Tian did not come out and make an appearance at this very moment, he would be doing a disservice to the Burial Heaven Divine Clan’s strenuous protection of him.
“Of course, of course. I’ll just have a taste and see what it’s like.” Old Shi smiled as he watched Chen Hao puff away.
Such a process formed a blood pact that could not be destroyed. To vampires, it meant declaring ownership of their prey and marking it.
Pfft! Even Feng Qingwei spat out her tea this time, while Yun Qingfei and Feng Qingya secretly giggled as well.
Only afterward did they see clearly that it was a handsome and refined man dressed in pure white robes, apparently around thirty years old.
After repelling the other races, Solin announced the establishment of the newborn Dwarven Kingdom to the world and received recognition from the other nations. The only ones unwilling to accept this were the dwarf tribes, who refused to submit to Solin on the grounds that they did not possess the Arkenstone.
Suddenly, a soft sound rang out. A huge boulder flew through the air and fitted itself into a fractured section of the nearby mountain.
The title of Great Zhou’s foremost military commander was bestowed upon Li Dongsheng by the common people after his triumphant return from Khitan. However, the court’s generals refused to acknowledge it. They believed that if they, too, possessed an army as powerful as the Imperial Guards, along with gunpowder and hot-air balloons, their victories would certainly be no less impressive than Li Dongsheng’s.
The Tarim River had only dried up a few decades ago. Before that, it had always carried water, and the underground rivers were abundant as well. Even if the Peacock River dried up, Lop Nur remained.
If I chose it and made it abandon the choice of “one life and four deaths,” then everyone could be happy. That method should also have the greatest chance of preserving everyone.
Liu Bei felt considerably better after hearing this. The two brothers at his side were the most dependable people he had, so naturally it was best that nothing had happened to them. Now that he had heard Zhang Fei had returned, Guan Yu could surely rest easy—after all, he had the Red Hare.
The main reason she helped the three of them was that, deep down, she felt she owed them a thread of karmic debt.
Fan Changliu closed in for the attack with overwhelming momentum. Every punch carried tremendous force, blasting Zhan Changfeng backward again and again.
“What did you say? You’re leaving us to go to the Upper Heaven Realm again?!” Jì Manduo’s expression turned ugly, and the anger displayed on her exquisite face lent her a different kind of allure.

Although Yu Ming struggled desperately to maintain the balance between them, he understood at that very moment that the gap between the two sides had already become an insurmountable chasm.
The most astonishing part came afterward. With about fifty meters remaining, the skinny horse Bu Zhi suddenly overtook Zhou Yu’s mount, pulling a full body-length ahead and taking first place.
It would be better to go back now. There was no use staying here. As for Ruan Yin and Zuo Shaoxin, the Zuo family had arrived, and they would deal with it.
When Northern Residence and the Empire heard Li Yu agree, they said goodbye to him and returned to their rooms.
But this path was too peaceful. The future it revealed was like a short, flat line, offering only vague premonitions of what lay ahead.
In those days, Grandfather was already middle-aged, while Top Scholar Feng had only just reached twenty. Captivated by Top Scholar Feng’s brilliance, Grandfather became his friend despite the difference in age and regarded him as his closest companion in life. Back then, in the Golden Hall, the Emperor had intended to betroth the princess to Top Scholar Feng.
Under everyone’s gaze, an immense sphere of light suddenly formed and surged toward the descending purple lightning. In an instant, it shattered the purple lightning and shot into the heavens, blasting apart the dark clouds. Rings of electric patterns swept in every direction, and the black clouds dispersed in the blink of an eye.
Many martial artists of the Martial Spirit Empire stood dumbfounded. Although Zhao Tianchen had lost to Lin Xiao, no one could deny the strength of his talent. Among the younger generation of the entire Martial Spirit Empire, only Lin Xiao was capable of overpowering him.
Chen Chaopiao stared unblinkingly at Li Qianhua, an inexplicable sense of danger rising in his heart.
After that single strike, everyone present changed expression. Their gazes toward Lin Xiao revealed astonishment and bewilderment.
Mo Wuxie had already guessed that King Zhantan had finally discovered the red cannon was missing, so he deliberately asked while pretending to be concerned.
What followed was the question everyone cared about most: would that mysterious alchemist from the Yangtze Merchant Association arrange for a disciple to enter the competition?
After spending a week at Li Wei’s home, Li Wei saw off all the classmates who had come to visit, putting them on trains bound for their respective homes. He then traveled south alone, to the place where he and Bai Jing had agreed to meet. Long Zhantian and Tong Yao would be coming as well. Jiang Jing remained at Li Wei’s house, since he still had many things to film.
His combat strength was now less than one-tenth of what it had been at his peak. He could only retreat awkwardly into the distance, not daring to approach in the slightest. Otherwise, a flash of axe-light from the Shattered Heaven Axe in Lin Xiao’s hand would easily have slain him.

Before long, eight streams of sword energy were already circling him. He seemed to possess a special attraction, causing the eight swords to revolve in orderly silence.
The Black Vulture King took two steps toward the Red Falcon King. He had intended to apply some ointment to prevent the injury from worsening, but halfway there, he noticed a person sitting in the open ground more than twenty paces to the Red Falcon King’s right. The man wore ragged clothes and had a vacant expression, yet he did not appear very old.
The entire hall fell silent as everyone looked toward the three consorts in the palace: Consort Qishu, Consort Mide, and Lady Yajie.
Thus, when Lin Daodao arrived at the theoretical analysis room, he indeed saw the figures of Jiang Ye and the five members of the magic department.
Ukyo Tachibana took advantage of Sun Shangxiang’s dazed state to move in and launch basic attacks. After three strikes, Sun Shangxiang had almost no health left.
The locals had spotted their ship long before it arrived. Therefore, by the time Zheng Zha reached the hut, many people were already standing ready with hoes, iron forks, and other tools.
Esdeath had thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be this. She continued, “It’s fine. You can wear mine.” With that, Esdeath went over and pulled Gongsun Li along. Gongsun Li could not resist Esdeath’s strength and ultimately had no choice but to agree.
Guanhu gave Lin Daodao a cold, aloof glance, the contempt in its eyes unmistakable. When Lin Daodao was about to turn the magical beast before him into a pig for the third time, Guanhu immediately performed a somersault and propped the bamboo tube over its shoulder.
The Godslayer before the divine eye was the most powerful successor in the history of the Way of Slaughter. His swordsmanship was enough to wound the gods.
“What?” Duanmu Hen looked at Ye Luocheng in confusion. What did Ye Luocheng mean by saying he was busy?
“It’s all right. Everything is fine,” Ruyi said gently. As she spoke, she raised her arm and held the teacup out to Wuxin, signaling him to drink. It was also a gesture of welcome after his journey.
Her White Sun divine power truly possessed astonishing restorative strength. Because Qin Yun’s Nether Sun had once cultivated in harmony with her White Sun, it had gained a certain ability to replicate.
