Chapter 43: He Stopped Pretending and Showed His Hand

Aunt Lan was no stranger to major incidents even within the Gu household, but she was still shaken when she saw Father Gu rushing down the stairs in a panic, shouting for a doctor.

Gu Fangyu was carried back to her room by Gu Hanchen. At that moment, her eyes were tightly shut, and her body lay limp in the man's arms like a discarded rag doll. Watching this, Aunt Lan’s heart tightened with distress. She was just worrying about...

In an instant, we dove from the sky in our mine cart. The Blue Team’s fortress lay exposed before us, covered in water flows, stone walls, and other obstacles. The Blue Team had deliberately diverted water to the perimeter of the fortress to block our line of attack.

Before the Han Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains were entirely unaware of the existence of such a mysterious ancient kingdom. The great Han explorer Zhang Qian, during his diplomatic mission to the Western Regions, first brought Loulan to the attention of the Central Plains. With the opening of the Silk Road, the ancient kingdom of Loulan became an essential stop on the ancient trade route.

"She didn't come." Wu Yuan’s tone was deliberately casual, though his expression remained unnatural. Liu Xinghe did not press further.

"That is a tomb!" Li Yahui seemed to know what the object was, pointing at it with his chin lifted.

Once he said this, Liu Xinghe understood. Although they were in the wilderness, there were no tall trees, mountain ridges, or mounds nearby to provide cover. Any ambush here would be a direct interception rather than a sneak attack; they must have jumped out upon spotting them, only to retreat when they realized they were outmatched.

The doctor arrived and had people pin Liu Ruyue to the bed, forcibly injecting her with a sedative. Liu Ruyue’s body convulsed before finally falling still.

The other soldiers went to the front to intercept the demons, while Lei Ting’s thousand-man regiment remained on standby, ready to support Liu Xinghe.

It was as if the many blood vessels beneath the insect shell had gradually detached from the husk. They were only waiting for enough vitality to be supplied to break free from their old casing.

Li Niang smiled as she watched Cheng Yi scramble away in a panic. Recalling Cheng Yi’s final murmur, her smile deepened. To come find her again after class—could it be that he enjoyed being bullied by her?

It seemed as though the massacre of the Chen Mu Xia clan had been a meticulously planned affair, carried out without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.

And so, the matter of the Dragon God finally came to an end, and Fourth Master Wang and Li Guangzhi successfully joined the academy.

But this time, it had actually trapped Chen Zhizheng, continuously draining his immortal power.

"We’re going to take first place in the team rankings!" Gu Zitian shouted along. Apart from Lin Chu, he was the most fearless of them all.

Seeing Fan Wen’s smug expression, Li Yunfeng knew exactly what was happening. He must have failed to leave obediently just moments ago, and now Fan Wen had sent people to exact revenge.

Su Wei pressed his hands against the table, his face turning a deep shade of red; clearly, he was on the verge of a breakdown.

This young man did not look older than Zhang Zhen, yet Zhang Zhen treated him with great respect, bordering on fear.

Perhaps it was because he had done too many lowly things lately, but no matter what, Zhao Xian could not project an air of nobility. He thought to himself that there must be something wrong with this body; though handsome, it often made him feel as if he had no control over his own actions, as if the person who once inhabited it had been nothing but trash.

By now, he had shed his wanderer’s attire and donned a mechanical combat suit imbued with the essence of steel and technology.

It was like showing one's trump card in the very first hand of a card game. Was the enemy truly this formidable?

Since there were no zombies, Lin Chen couldn't be bothered to go. Besides, they were armed with lethal weapons like automatic rifles.

The color difference likely had to do with the different divine essences of the two sides, and it should also be able to unlock Rose’s seal. As for the name, it appeared because Si Momo R2 had just spoken the name of the mysterious crystal.

Leaving Sister Shizuru behind, Angel accelerated, flying toward Erika. Although it was remarkable to be able to use ribbons freely the first time wearing a combat dance suit, without the support of a GEM, forcing the suit like this would only accelerate the collapse of that inferior coral-colored garment.
