Chapter 35: Giving Testimony
He wanted to design a defensive array for Fenghua City, but considering that beast tides must have an underlying cause, he felt it inappropriate to interfere with the laws of nature. It was likely for good reason that cultivators never set up arrays for mortal towns.
However, before looking at the furnishings inside, almost everyone’s gaze was drawn to something else suspended in mid-air. Dozens of corpses hung there, each with only a single wound. The location of these wounds was uniform, all situated at the jaw.
"Han! Live well and take revenge for me!" Xia Yunchang suddenly screamed. She grabbed the katana from Takeda Tokugawa’s hand and drew it across her own throat.
"A cultivation base of the Condensing Saint Realm. Could it be another terrifying figure like Yuntian?" Yuntian nodded. A flash of light appeared beside him, and Yan Ningyu materialized in the void. Many powerful members of the Liu family looked at Yan Ningyu, whispering among themselves.
Hearing that the guests in the neighboring rooms had already departed, Fan Tianluo rose to wash up. Without calling out to Muyu, who was inside the silver lamp, she changed into an elegant white dress and sat before the bronze mirror to dress herself beautifully.
Of course, this is not to say that medicinal pills are ineffective; after all, they can increase success rates and are very convenient for daily recovery and healing. However, during critical advancements like Foundation Establishment, the potential unleashed by cultivators who succeed without the aid of pills is greater than those who rely on them.
Perhaps some people find last-minute efforts futile, but for Lin Yi, this "last-minute effort" was perfectly timed—though it could hardly be called a last-minute effort at all.
It wasn’t that the pill tribulation was failing to give him respect; rather, it was giving him too much. The fact that it didn't strike with lightning immediately meant it was gathering its strength.
He recognized this brother, knowing that he was formerly a member of the national "Fire That Illuminates the Darkness" special forces and now served as the deputy leader of the Blood Kill Unit One. Since he said the leader had been waiting for him for a long time, he must be referring to Jiang Sen.
However, the Endless Road had completely locked onto the aura of the Three-Eyed Heavenly Qiu. Even if the beast fled to the ends of the earth, the Endless Road would pursue it. After passing through countless layers of space, a sudden, piercing scream echoed out.
Originally, they had thought that given Luo Qingxue’s current plight, it would be generous enough if Luo Shiqing didn't kick her while she was down. They hadn't expected her to be so magnanimous, which naturally won Luo Shiqing a great deal of favor.
August is the peak of summer vacation. Every day, Lin Xiaoxiao watches her social media feed to see who has traveled where and who is on vacation. She doesn't even need to ask about their professions; at a glance, she can tell they are definitely teachers.
That’s right, a martial artist’s awakened abilities are 100% cloned and synchronized into the game. In other words, players with powerful awakened abilities are essentially using cheats within the game.
But upon arrival, Xiao Fan didn't see a shadow of Ji Tianming, nor even Eunuch Hong. An elderly eunuch he had never met waited for him early in the palace and led him through winding paths to a heavily guarded area.
As soon as the words fell, two thousand crossbowmen, moving with robotic, uniform precision, aimed their god-arm crossbows toward the northeast. Following a massive, resonant "hum," steel bolts rose from within the city like a dark cloud.
The stone was hard, and the spot where she struck was sharp. Several bloody scratches instantly appeared on Lin Xiaoxiao’s arm, the deepest of which was oozing blood.
Holding the thermometer the doctor had left behind, Lin Xiaoxiao felt fortunate that she had asked him to leave it just in case. It came in handy after only a short while; it really is better to be prepared than sorry.
Su Yi stood at the door and called out softly, but inside, it was deathly quiet, without a sound.
Just as in his memories, this place was different from the luxury and extravagance of Prince Yi’s mansion; it was filled with simplicity and tranquility. It seemed Mo Hongzhang was truly an upright official, as many factions had tried to win him over, yet none found a way.
At this moment, the men naturally noticed the difference and all rushed over. Everyone had brought their younger sisters or similar companions, and naturally, they wanted to take them away. Nangong Yu, seeing Luo Qingxue now surrounded by butterflies and bees, gritted his teeth and charged forward.
Logically, someone who could reach the position of army commander shouldn't be so flippant, but the reality was known only to those within. It looked like they held great authority, but in truth, how could evolved warriors like the Storm Legion be left for such people to lead? All command authority rested entirely with the regimental officers.
Guinomiya Ayame sat in her wheelchair, her tone heavy as she spoke to everyone in the conference room.
However, Ji Yiyi’s first sentence left everyone speechless. "This poem is a masterpiece for the ages?" How is it that from the beginning until now, you have been defending Lin Weiwei? Could it be that you two have some unspeakable relationship?
The governor held up his binoculars, his gaze sweeping across the sea, when he suddenly spotted a massive, dark shadow appearing on the distant surface of the water.
"And then?" I propped my head with one hand, feeling drowsy, showing little interest in the man's story.
Of course, the entire Great Zhou knew that Li Dongsheng and Linglong were a pair, though they had not received the approval of Wu Zetian.
No one knew that Li Dongsheng possessed this special ability, and Li Dongsheng hadn't known it either. Perhaps it was the shock of Linglong’s disappearance that had triggered this latent talent.
Lu Xuan had been standing while talking to Lanlan since he entered. Not realizing that she had belongings inside the ark, he stopped being formal and plopped down onto a sofa. The sofa had a medieval look; it was both soft and firm, and his aura seemed to shift the moment he sat down.
I frowned and thought for a moment, deciding that since I was already at it, I might as well search every room.
