Chapter 57

Landing right outside the mountain gate of the Azure Cloud Sect, Jiang Han immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere in the air.

Fully aware of this, Xie Gongbao felt deeply distressed while sighing inwardly: "The Abbot truly lives up to his reputation as an enlightened holy monk, a withered buddha of the age." Just as this thought crossed his mind, Kong Ji and Gao Gan both withdrew.

He now understood how formidable Lu Ping truly was. If that fellow had chosen to fall out with him directly, he could at least put up a desperate fight; but dragging things out like this, unable to leave while his former acquaintances all looked at him with disdain, was just damn awkward.

Before Diana could even react, she was met with Mo Bai’s contemptuous gaze as he openly eyed her voluptuous curves.

Chen Jing was dressed in her usual attire—a tight white shirt and a neat, crisp ponytail. Her exquisite facial features radiated an aura of untainted sanctity, making her stand out as dazzling no matter where she went.

However, once the two truly joined forces, he realized that their combined strength was not merely an addition, but a profound amplification of power.

Summoning the carriage from behind, she said to Xie Gongbao and Zhu Ji, "Well then, I shall return to the manor. You two should head back early as well." With that, she leaped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain to slip inside, and instructed the driver to head toward Inkshade.

Hahaha, funny and weird things are just so strange, beep beep, new driver! Hahaha, funny and weird things are just so strange, beep beep, new driver!

"Look at all that blubber on you. You're even fairer than Senior Sister Shuiyao. Hey, put your clothes on." Glancing at him, Xie Gongbao could not help but chuckle as he tossed over the garments he had prepared in advance. Once Pang Qi was dressed, the two of them circled back to the barracks and quietly slipped inside.

"Your Highness, this humble commoner has long held the ambition to die on the battlefield wrapped in a horse hide. If Your Highness does not disdain me, I am willing to join the Flying Cavalry!" Guo Xiaoqi declared without hesitation.

It felt as though there was a natural shielding layer around his body, capable of blocking the intrusion of any radiation.

With a cold glint in his eyes, Fang Chen looked at the boy lying on the ground with wide-open eyes, dead with eternal regret, and clenched his fists as a plan formed in his mind.

Moreover, Yang Yue had come to Hedong Commandery, and the Crown Prince was currently there as well. It remained entirely unclear which side would ultimately seize control of Hedong!

Who would have expected that, at this very moment, Xiao Tianjue would suddenly reach out and firmly grasp one of her hands.

Shiyu said nothing, but suddenly wrapped her arms around Han Bing’s waist, burying her face deeply against his chest.

The children clapped their hands and chirped happily, their faces beaming with impatient and greedy smiles.

The two complemented each other and relied on one another, and a top-tier mid-laner would forever remain the trump card and core of that team.

Regardless of everything, these matters could perhaps be barely excused, since they had already occurred after all, and had not caused any irreversible, grave consequences.

Without a single moment to spare for thought, Ye Chong’s hands danced across the main control console in a series of lightning-fast, reflex-driven motions.

He cast a complex look at Number One. As longtime companions, both of them felt a turbulent mix of emotions. It was no easy feat for a family to endure until today, and quite a few prominent red families had already fallen along the way; today, not many remained across the vast expanse of China.

Lin Luoxi sprang forward, leaping down from a height of thirty meters to land instantly before the two blood demon beasts. An air of supreme, all-conquering arrogance naturally emanated from her. Who currently mastered the two blood demon beasts mattered little; what mattered was preventing them from taking lives and awakening that terrifying entity.

Halfway through the banquet, as the clock struck nine, the guests continued to exchange hollow pleasantries, drinking, eating, and chatting away. An outsider might genuinely have mistaken them for friends of many years—had it not been for the fleeting glint of hatred occasionally surfacing in Pan Xin’s eyes, the banquet might have truly seemed flawless.

When Georges Braque and the others received Alain Bernard’s plea for reinforcement, though they worried that the Chinese player coalition might seize the opportunity to launch an attack, they nevertheless dispatched tens of thousands of reinforcements to aid the Sacred Fire Alliance’s stronghold, driven by the principles of solidarity and mutual reliance.

The defensive firepower of the fortress was now vastly superior to the past. They could easily rely on the fortress defenses to deal with the red-tailed beasts and the twelve golden birds. Solving problems with the least amount of effort was precisely Ye Chong’s preferred style.

The atmosphere throughout the scene grew exceptionally heavy. At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, shattering the tranquility.

As her words fell, Lin Luoxi darted forward like a speeding bullet. Eschewing any transformation into a zombie, she relied entirely on her peerless physical prowess to launch a one-sided massacre against the remaining dozens of assassins and mercenaries.

Xia Yun and the others felt that playing alongside Moliao was akin to escorting a robot; unless explicit instructions were given, he would simply push towers indefinitely and never participate in team fights.

Zhong Wuyan’s ultimate ability, "Hammer of Hurricane," followed up swiftly, repeatedly turning Daji and Yu Ji to stone.

Having no specific destination, the group proceeded southeastward along the "Great Trench." With no hostile encounters along the way, everyone continuously practiced their weapons and magical treasures, and half a month flew by in the blink of an eye. With the enhancement of their physical strength, they finally overcame the awkward predicament of their weapons failing to respond to their will.

As long as they could slip from the basin-edge camp into the forest, their chances of escaping successfully would naturally increase significantly.

"Williams, hit them hard! Crippling them would be best!" Georges, who had already retreated to Tommy's side, suppressed the pain in his thigh and gritted his teeth as he spoke fiercely.

In this era, social hierarchies were rigid and master-servant relations strictly defined; transgressing those boundaries was strictly forbidden.

Allowing you to step forward and confess your guilt before Lord Cao was merely a gesture to put on a show; afterward, Lord Cao could present another show of magnanimity before everyone else, could he not?

Simultaneously, some bizarre fragments inexplicably surfaced in his mind—cryptic, obscure, and ethereal whispers murmuring in the depths of his soul, faint yet resounding in his heart like a sudden clap of thunder, granting him an instantaneous sense of supreme enlightenment.

"You still have the nerve to speak!" If Li Batian had not been furious already, hearing those words pushed his rage to the absolute limit. With a fierce kick, he sent Li振 flying straight into the wall.

Given Huang Hu’s martial arts prowess, it was virtually impossible for him to be subdued without the slightest reaction. The truth was simply that he had lowered his guard entirely, for the assailant was dressed precisely as one of his own subordinates. Who could have foreseen a sudden, treacherous attack originating from within his own ranks?

The cyborg noticeably slowed its movements, allowing Fire Shadow to narrowly escape death. After all, he had never tangled with this monster before; even though Ye Tian had warned him that the creature was difficult to deal with, he had failed to raise his guard to the maximum against this chemically catalyzed monstrosity. Had he not been careful, he would have very well perished right there.
