Volume 1, Chapter 69: You Matter Most

"Alright, alright. If there's trouble, you have to shield me from them and let me run first," Hua Jitian said.

The veteran nodded, then saluted Wang Zhong and said, "Commander, I'll go get to work." Wang Zhong nodded.

Nanyu met his gaze and said frankly, "A fair trade. I get what I want, so I'm prepared to pay the price." There is no such thing as ungrounded kindness in this world.

Qi Zhongheng still cared for Lanhua. Carrying his rifle, he looked somewhat out of place among the surrounding public security officers; with his honest facial features, it was as if he had just borrowed the uniform.

Just as the final command of activation was uttered, the Eight-Directions Departing Fire Disk suddenly transformed into a giant Eight Trigrams formation map.

Mary Sue and Qiu Yuan had been effortlessly carried away by the enemy right in the gaps of his own combat, which was his negligence and carelessness.

He felt that the old man playing the zither looked somewhat familiar. Zhao Wubai, Zhao Wuwei, Xie Bancheng, Li Weiqiu, and others on Mount Nine also spotted the zither player of the Qingyun Manor. They exchanged glances, especially Zhao Wubai and Zhao Wuwei, whose expressions carried a hint of underlying anxiety.

This did not anger He Yunlong in the slightest; instead, it made him view Liu Shisheng in a completely new light and increased his desire to recruit him.

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go? I just joined your base yesterday, and won't some of your veteran brothers have something to say about a newcomer like me coming along?" Shen Mian expressed hesitation.

Tang Huaijin had just stepped out of the car, his iron-gray woolen overcoat already unbuttoned, and he naturally swept her straight into his embrace.

Lian nodded, causing Tianming to suddenly experience an epiphany. Just as he wanted to follow along, he discovered that a task prompt had actually emerged within his mind.

The words spoken by Chutian Rong just now were undoubtedly like a thunderclap exploding, causing people's minds to shake violently.

Qiong Ling stepped forward two paces, looking as though he were about to spill the details to Duan Qin. Pi Ning held him back, his honest dark face flushing red.

"The energy of the old scoundrel Ibaraki inside my body acts like a safety switch. Once the energy within me erupts to a certain degree, he will instantly sense it, and the energy of his within me will also trigger a reflexive response."

A dark shadow flashed across the projected imagery in the center of the scene, then flashed back, landing steadily once again on Wang Yizhi's right shoulder. With a look of profound seniority, he squinted his eyes slightly as he observed the two people before him, giving off very much the vibe of an elder watching juniors.

Having found the correct passageway, Cael directly exited the labyrinth and arrived at the periphery of the underground market. Cael marveled at this uniquely styled place; the layout and structure of the entire market were not complicated.

Ryugawa Juichiro ignored it. When he came over here, he had already embraced the absolute resolve to die.

They had been separated for a century—one wandering through the currents of spacetime, the other trapped within a spacetime storm. Today, they were finally reunited.

Upon hearing the man's words at that moment, she instantly remembered what place this was, and furthermore, her actions just now probably offended this place quite severely—not to mention the massive, towering debts her family owed.

He Fei smiled and said, "Just as I had surmised, someone truly must have imparted their cultivation to her through a master's guidance. However, young lady, I must say, look at my fifth brother here," and as he spoke, He Fei casually gestured.

Because with such a blade technique, the slightest carelessness could result in being hacked into pieces without a shred of vitality remaining.

"Test the waters first!" Relying on constant wariness alone was not enough; only by taking action and probing could they test out Huazhu's true strength.

Seeing this, four or five other young disciples from various sects employed their respective methods to launch attacks. Colorful attacks, resembling four or five chasing rainbows, struck straight at the young disciple's back.

The fired flares rained down like beams of light upon those giant beasts, which cried out in agony. Some were blinded in both eyes, while others were struck dead-center in their vital spots and perished on the spot. Liu Yi felt that he no longer had any strength left in his body and just wanted to sleep soundly.

Although it seemed like a long time had passed, in reality, all these changes occurred in the span of a single instant.

For a long time, Yun Tiancheng slowly opened his eyes, only for his usually wise pupils to appear abnormally turbid at this very moment.

If the brawny monk with the fleshly face found an opportunity later to launch a vicious sneak attack, then he, Yun Xiao, would truly be in deep trouble.

You Jian sensed a faint aura while in deep sleep; this aura was very similar to Calcium's, and the entire environment was permeated by Calcium's teasing voice.

Qi Yu looked ahead. To him, there was no such thing as right or wrong, only necessity. Even if his actions brought harm to others, it would not affect his pace of moving forward. Of course, if possible, he did not mind offering compensation to these people; after all, as a human being, a shred of compassion still existed within him.

Ling Beihan pinched her chin. Just as she thought he was going to kiss her, he turned her face in another direction, facing the mathematics textbook he had taken out and laid open at some unknown point.

He put away his dagger. At this moment, the light on both of his hands grew increasingly bright, matching the intensity of an incandescent bulb, and he leaped into the air.

The backyard adjoined a mountain. Because it was nighttime, Zheng Wanyan could not clearly make out what mountain it was, so she simply followed Prince Sheng forward. The surroundings were so quiet that only the footsteps of a few people could be heard.

The four members of the "Yandao" organization were hiding behind an ancient kiln shaped like a horse's hoof, using the corners of their eyes to secretly observe the battlefield.

Shi Dade looked dazedly at the group beside him, discovering that not only were those men exceptionally tall with ruggedly chiseled facial features, but some even possessed azure eyes and yellow hair.
