The figure in the strange armored suit was clearly startled by the movement behind him and turned his head to look at Daoman.

Outside the perimeter wall, the only building Liu Shibao could see within the enclosure was a massive chimney billowing thick, dark smoke.

Beyond Yu Shen, Si Fu also held this qualification, as did the other three imperial concubines who carried the dragon vein: Lady Qianqian, Mingyue, and Hu Mei'er.

In addition to these polarized forces, there existed a third party—a power equally formidable. Liu Qingshan belonged to this third category.

Just then, An Liang’s phone rang. By the ringtone, he knew immediately it was the great Lu calling from abroad.

As for the program, there were no surprises in the final results of the competition. Li Mingqiu’s victory was expected; no one doubted the outcome, and Jin Feng breathed a sigh of relief after his loss—at least he hadn’t been defeated too miserably, right?

Among the Americans pulled from the water, Liu Shibao discovered four or five Asian faces; he assumed they were Chinese-Americans.

The film crew had initially mistaken Li Mingqiu and his group for South Koreans, as he had been speaking Korean. They wondered if he might be a friend of Im Yoona, though they found his behavior rather rude and boorish. However, when they later heard Li Mingqiu speak Chinese, they were taken aback.

Human strength naturally cannot compare to technology. After all, human strength is derived from biological energy, from sugars and carbohydrates, and there is a low upper limit to explosive power.

Huanhua Shidai set his final two hand cards facedown on the field, appearing ready for the final battle.

Yin Yufeng was anxious and furious: "My King, do you not realize that a great enemy is at the gates? Liu Zhi and Wu Zheng have joined forces to attack; we must prepare in advance!"

Following the gruff voice of a burly man, another club struck my head. As warm blood trickled down and my consciousness blurred, the last thing I saw was other beggars in the temple being beaten and shoved into sacks by these men.

My ancestor, Taotie, was one of the Four Perils, a rare and mighty demon of the ancient era. Legend says he could swallow the sun and moon, yet in the end, he could not escape the purge by humanity. The pure bloodline was severed, leaving only some collateral branches, and our branch is the strongest among them—which is the only reason we have survived until now.

Treated with such respectful deference by Jiang Xuelin and addressed as "Father," this middle-aged man was Jiang Ningyuan, the chief of the Longwei Escort Agency.

But no one noticed this scene, for it was too subtle, and the area was so sparsely populated that no one cared about the smoke.

By the time Qin Junxi and the others returned to the hospital, Qiao Xin's mother was still lying peacefully in her bed, asleep.

Inside the rectangular jade box lay a strange, white-stemmed, black-leaved spirit herb—the Nine-Deaths Resurrection Grass.

(1): Once per turn, if a monster you control is destroyed by battle or card effect, you can target that one monster. This card’s attack increases by the original attack value of the targeted monster until the end of the turn. The turn this effect is activated, this card cannot attack directly.

But that is not the problem. My Bear Two’s two subordinate divisions are more than enough to hold out until the arrival of the Right Worthy King’s army. If the Xianbei Khan gives me, Bear Two, the chance, it is not impossible to wipe out one of his sub-command divisions first.

There is only one explanation for blood soaking into the soil to such an extent: a severe wound that would not stop bleeding.

"Brother Hao, I have obtained a letter of recommendation from the Master. I intend to request an audience with the Great Elder to become a guardian disciple, but I cannot reach him. I hope you can introduce me," Wang Feng said.

Shen Cong parried Li Fenghua’s attack while dodging Feng Tianyun’s dagger. Although he was not wounded, he was forced to retreat. Before he could steady himself, Feng Tianyun lunged again, the thin edge of his blade shimmering with a predatory gleam.

The one who acted was none other than Yu Xuanzi. As a dignified elder of the Five Immortals Sect, he was respected wherever he went in the mundane world. Who would have expected a few blind fools to come and provoke him today? Even more infuriating, they had ruined Fu Yang’s mood, and they could not be forgiven.

The following day, the army retreated to garrison at Dragon Tooth Valley. That night, the entire army celebrated, and it was then that thousands of arrows rained from the sky! Countless men in black took advantage of the darkness to charge into the camp.

"Thieves! You have some nerve to intrude upon the Xiao family’s herb garden!" This patrol group consisted of ten men, and Zhou Kai, as their leader, felt emboldened by their numerical advantage, his voice rising several decibels.

These were primarily merchants from the Jiangzhe region of the Great Ming and the Haihan, especially the major Haihan merchants who had received advance notice and managed to purchase properties in the city to serve as future trading posts.

After the humans betrayed their own, they slaughtered many of their comrades, reaching a point of heartless cruelty. It was only then that humanity realized the terror of this alien race and their technique known as the "Heaven-Touching Sacred Art."

It was a tragedy; the tree that stands above the forest is the first to be broken by the wind. Wu Wei’s primary target in this battle was, naturally, Zhang Chenxi. As an archer, even with a hidden class, her health bar was not high, and she unfortunately fell before such overwhelming output.

The transportation issue is the same. First, a secure transport route must be established, followed by the manufacturing of transport vehicles.

How strong the Chief of the Main Pavilion was and how formidable his methods were, an old monster like Feng Tiesheng understood well. Yet, even such a Chief had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Xiao Yao, barely escaping with his life.

Sooner or later, once Ren Tianxing breaks through the three stages of Nirvana to become a Saint Son of the sect, his status will rise instantly, and their branch of the Punishment Hall will surely see its prestige soar.

I truly dared not invite Li Bai up. A high school sophomore final exam is already overkill with six top students; if I were to invite him, it would be like using an atomic bomb to kill a chicken.
