Volume 1, Chapter 24: A Moment of Peril! The Great Mantis

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Li family ancestor was sent flying backward at high speed. He eventually adjusted his internal breath to steady his form.

This creature possessed the ability to merge its chakra into the surrounding environment, masking its presence so effectively that even with a Byakugan, one would likely mistake it for a tree branch unless observing it face-to-face.

With trembling hands, the Li ancestor picked up the Heaven-Opening Manual. He paused in surprise upon discovering the final two pages, then flipped them open.

Infusing the star power of the Beast King Constellation into this energy, Xu Yang unleashed a palm strike, blasting the energy directly into the void.

A massive black figure appeared in the middle of the street, covered in thick, matted fur. Its eight legs, glinting with a cold light, resembled eight sharp blades.

"Explanation? What kind of explanation? Are you going to tell Xue'er that the child isn't yours?" Shen Boling sneered, his expression one of helpless disdain, as if Tang Qingyi’s words were a joke that wasn't remotely funny.

Upon hearing the referee, the Trail Blazers' coach hurriedly shut his mouth. He dared not say another word; Popovich was still standing right there. Without him, how would the Trail Blazers play the rest of the game? Rely on an assistant coach? That might work, but would the players listen to him?

News of the coup in the Land of Vegetables had surely reached neighboring countries. Ninjas colluding with government ministers to commit such treasonous acts was something no monarch or daimyo would ever tolerate.

During truck loading and equipment handovers, only designated duty soldiers were allowed near the equipment department's trucks. All other personnel had to clear the area; even those who knew each other were not permitted to greet one another casually.

Now, having been a full-time writer for over three years, Roman was once again considering "hanging up his pen."

First, he saw Jack’s face in the rearview mirror; second, Jack’s hand... had already seized his throat.

"Hunter Tyrant?" After a few seconds, Qiu Zhengyi recognized the creature—not by its appearance, but by the number on its prison uniform and its unique energy signature.

A moment later, Su Penghao wanted to say something to break the eerie silence in the ward, but just then, the door swung open.

Consequently, the plan to have Zhao Meilan move in had to be abandoned before it could even be proposed to Jiang Yonghua.

Along the way, people were constantly riding on spirit beast mounts. At this moment, Brother Chicken nudged me, shaking his head against me as if acting spoiled.

Yang Linglan wiped the tears from her face. She performed the Dragon Tribe’s farewell mudra to wish them a peaceful journey. No sooner had the mudra left her hands than she heard several urgent voices behind her trying to stop her.

Meanwhile, just as Simon was about to board the vehicle, a piercing shriek—sharp enough to shatter a soul—erupted from the depths of the Luotuo Mountains.

As she had expected, the Third Princess Consort was not only furious but was already plotting how to deal with those concubines' children.

Yet, Old Nine could sense that her smiles were frequent and radiant. It was something he had never seen on A-Hui’s face before.

Yaoyao was gone, and Qingyao was nowhere to be found. Had she gone to look for Yaoyao? Was she in danger too? His mind was in chaos. Unable to find anyone, he finally pushed open the door to Nanny Chen’s room.

Drat. She had completely forgotten about this. Judging by Pei Yibai’s demeanor, he was about to start settling scores.

Fei Mo, his cold phoenix eyes fixed on Fu Sancheng, drifted into thought as the silver needle pierced the man's leg and he looked out the window.

She finally agreed to tell where she had been and what she had done during her "disappearance." Ziwu did not interrupt, simply raising an eyebrow to signal Zhiqian to continue.

"Once he turns to dust, I will take you away!" He turned his gaze away from me, his tone light and casual, as if he were discussing the weather.

There was no other way. Currently, the combined forces of the God and Demon tribes totaled five hundred thousand. The Demon soldiers were equal in strength to the Gods and superior to the Demons; with four hundred thousand Demon soldiers, they could at most hold off the five hundred thousand combined troops of the Gods and Demons, plus the hundred thousand Immortals.

In truth, he could have said he was just joking, but he alone knew that while the words weren't carefully considered, they weren't mere empty nonsense either.

"Even the Son of Heaven is subject to the same laws as the common people. Is your young master greater than the Emperor?" Su Jingfeng retorted.

Thus, both teams were giving their all in defense and offense, constantly neutralizing each other's scoring opportunities.

"You know this is Chai family territory, right?" I punched the lead security guard in the stomach.

"That's easy to solve, just build a raft. Didn't we see plenty of bamboo before we went up the mountain? It's not like the other side, which is completely bare!" Fang Rongcheng wasn't worried at all; he had thought of this while gathering firewood.

"Second Uncle!" Fang Dongping screamed, but it was too late. Ji Li had already charged at the snake's head, leaping into the air with a short blade to strike.

If all these venomous snakes went berserk, no one would be able to save themselves; wouldn't he just be courting death?

The hoarse, agonizing screams lasted for a quarter of an hour. The four beauties were left with mouths full of blood, panting and exhausted—they simply couldn't bite anymore.

"Mom, don't throw me away. I won't call you mom anymore." Qingfen clutched her finger tightly, terrified she might be abandoned if she caused any dissatisfaction.

Before the wedding, Xia Zhi had discussed the Hu family with Gu Beicheng. Gu Beicheng’s stance on the Hu family was firm: cut off all ties.

This story was also related to the Journey to the West, but the protagonist was not Sun Wukong. It featured powerful supernatural abilities, but not to the point where they were flying everywhere.

"Because your opponents were too weak... that is the key factor in your victory." Yu Manman once again trampled on her team members' self-esteem without hesitation.
