Chapter 66

Although the cloaked man's dagger missed its intended precision, it still struck home. Putting force into his wrist, he drove the roughly twenty-centimeter blade entirely into Li Nan's flesh.

Zheng Yunxia turned around and flashed a fawning, albeit deeply awkward, smile at Wang Chonghui. The "Rose" incident had made him realize that even though he was a figure of absolute authority within the Military Statistics Bureau, in the eyes of the higher-ups, he and the lean, withered old man before him were simply not in the same league.

Looking through his binoculars, Brigade Commander Sun saw the desolate winter Yangtze River; not a single boat was visible across the entire expanse of the water.

He walked straight over to the bed, pulled Wang Ningxi and Song Luoshui into his arms, and let out a deep sigh of relief, his affection for them growing even stronger.

"Crossfire with machine guns!" he ordered. The machine guns on all the vehicles opened fire fiercely, and the figures ahead instantly scattered, vanishing in a flash.

Xu Wushuang went to inspect the house in person. The renovation and furnishings were complete, meeting the condition for immediate move-in, so she asked the real estate agent to contact the landlord and ask if the property was up for sale.

Dragon City was first reached by Dance Alone under the Moon. His expression was dazed, and his long wizard robes fluttered in the wind. Thanks to his resurrection, his negative status effects had vanished, though his health was not yet fully restored.

Perhaps a trace of Mo Beixuan's consciousness still lingered upon that seal, for the moment Cang Yuan spoke those words, the radiance gradually faded away.

Voicing these thoughts made him feel immensely better; expressing them brought a sense of unprecedented ease.

A trace of resentment laced Yinglong's words. He had not expected his majesty to withhold any reward, but instead to take away his magical treasure in a roundabout way.

Seized by Ye Wushuang, Yun Cheng panicked as well. He hurriedly channeled his true qi to gather in his arm, forcefully shaking off Ye Wushuang's grip.

Yet she felt no fear toward the ancient chanchu; after all, the ancient chanchu could not truly harm her. She merely figured that these two ancient chanchu would inevitably consume vast amounts of food during their mating period.

Following that, he gave a few more instructions, the main focus being to avoid exposing the identities of Rin Tohsaka and Emiya Shirou as Masters, along with some methods for tracking down other Masters.

Yet such speed appeared as sluggish as a crawling turtle in Zhang Ye's eyes; he could evade it simply by shifting his body slightly.

Little did he know that at this very moment, Luo Fang was in a side hall of the Lingxiao Palace, discussing something with a group of elders.

Chen Xi took a deep breath. Knowing he stood no chance of cracking the chain sword technique Han Xiao had displayed yesterday, he directly summoned his flying sword and soared into the air.

Even an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect had remarked that if Jian Ba continued to grow, he might one day become one of the top three existences.

To be able to make Ying Jiu feel inferior in the Dao of alchemy, Wang Chen's attainments in alchemy must be formidable indeed.

"See if I dare." Upon hearing this, Chang Tian flipped Da Niu over directly, presenting her alluring, curvaceous buttocks to him.

Mrs. Qian, upon her return, first paid a visit to Yu Qingyao. Knowing full well that Mrs. Qian was not her true grandmother, and having finally shaken her off, how could Yu Qingyao possibly greet her with warm enthusiasm?

Jingyan cast out her spiritual sense to survey her surroundings upon hearing this, only to discover in despair that the entire villa was surrounded by the forces of the Demon Clan.

It seemed the Daoist Priest Wangchen was certain that the godmother would undoubtedly provide demon-repelling spray exclusively to her and Qingxing. She would need to hide it carefully then, lest someone else try to snatch it away.

When Luoshisi woke up and stepped outside, Murong Che was already awake. Seeing Luoshisi sitting in a daze at the cave entrance, Murong Che felt somewhat concerned and followed her out. No sooner had he sat down than he heard Luoshisi's question.

Declining the warm hospitality offered from various quarters, Yunxian and her companions were finally able to leave. Watching the spiritual lights of the immortals lifting off with their magical treasures as they flew away one by one, the common folk of Yucheng felt a stirring in their hearts. Who knew who began singing the first line, but the battle hymn that had once inspired the entire city echoed once more across the skies of Yucheng.

Yeying sighed softly, "Although this fruit can control the bodies of others, it comes with numerous drawbacks at the same time."

"What is this method? If any materials are lacking, I can help find them," Luoshisi quickly stated her stance. Given her abilities, helping to find things was well within her capability.

Subsequently, the primordial essence disintegrated and reorganized within these three destructive forces until it assumed a permanently stable form—a certain floral essence of humanity. Therefore, for cultivators on the verge of breaking through their initial major epoch, finding a purgatory to temper their souls and primordial essence was of paramount importance.

Lianyi glanced sideways at Yunxian. Despite possessing such a fresh and delicate countenance, the chilling ruthlessness in her words penetrated to the bone, causing one's heart to tremble involuntarily. Lianyi nodded in panic and scurried away in terror.

Seeing this, Jun Xueling hastily flew toward the demonic core, swinging his sword in an attempt to sever it. Before he could even draw near, a wave of silver light rapidly expanded, shielding the demonic core within. Jun Xueling was violently repelled by it, crashing into a rockery; the jagged, artificial rocks instantly dissolved into dust.

Then Nanfeng shed his one-zhang golden body, appearing instantly beside Tianbao Zhu'er. Seizing Tianbao Zhu'er by the collar, he hoisted her up while simultaneously hooking his left hand around her shoulder blades to prevent any further resistance.

Xu Mo said nothing more, heading toward the staircase at the far end of the corridor ahead of me. I followed her in silence; although I had no desire to entangle myself with Xu Mo, since she had gone out of her way to seek me out, I could only chat with her once more to see what business had brought her to my humble domain.

"Qin Yi, I know I was wrong. I won't curse you anymore, I won't seek revenge. Spare me, please spare me," Wenren Qiyue pleaded tearfully.

"Better not, that's already twice... If I can't get out of bed tomorrow, Qiduo will be suspicious," Lin Luoluo said shyly.

With the leader of one faction captured by the other, the battle between the two sides completely lost its momentum, halting their attacks simultaneously amidst Di Yang's loud shouts.

The Black Phoenix likewise cast a startled gaze toward the Purple Phoenix. Judging by Ninguo Tao's injuries, it must have been settled cleanly and decisively within two or three moves.

Lu Qingchen's sharp gaze flicked subtly. The four vice-sect masters of the Dark Mansion's gates were all individuals whose appearances belied their true capabilities.
