Volume 1 Chapter 38 Better to Exchange Blood Than to Test Poison with One's Own Body

Suddenly, the lead knight raised a hand, and the galloping cavalry came to an abrupt halt. Their formation remained perfectly intact, as if they were a single entity. The knight placed a hand to his forehead, peering intently into the distance.

"You profiteer, all you care about is money! This is art; don't taint it with the stench of copper." With that, he kicked the man aside.

As her jade-like fingertips moved, the rays of light began to reorganize, forming three characters: "Perhaps."

It seems my first life was absolutely no simple matter. To be a contemporary of Laozi and yet not only fail to transcend the six realms but instead reincarnate through them nine times—this is completely unscientific.

"Where did he go?" Upon hearing Zhang Hong's words, Hu Shu's eyes radiated a dense, murderous intent.

Although the force of that sword strike was mostly deflected by his thunder-imbued blade and his chainmail armor, the injury to his膻中 (Danzhong) acupuncture point nearly cost Long Teng his life. He struggled to rise from the ground, his chest feeling so constricted that he felt as if he might faint.

Zi'er's graceful figure entered the room. Seeing Chu Yi staring straight at her, she paused for a moment, then flew toward him like a gust of wind, landing directly in his arms.

Naturally, nearly 300 million had been spent; the funds in the stock account were now reduced to just over 500 million.

Actually, even without Ling Canzi saying it, the Fire Spirit Silkworm wanted to escape, but it was powerless. The overwhelming suction force acted like a magnet, pinning it firmly in place; no matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

If it weren't for the New Year, he estimated he could have obtained at least sixty or seventy spirit crystals every day, perhaps even more.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the area where Ao Ye stood was devoid of enemies. The cultivators at the Thunder Tribulation and Soul Possession stages, after a moment of commotion, retreated from the battlefield and gathered around the two brothers, watching Ao Ye in the center of the fray with vigilance.

Shui Tingqin and Liu Zhifei frowned, but said nothing. After all, a strange phenomenon had just occurred, and since there might be danger inside, it was better to let the others go ahead and scout the path.

They were not fools. Zhou Jiu was currently inside that barrier; although they did not know why he was unharmed, they would not rush in to throw their lives away. Once they entered that place, they would be the next Ying Baisheng.

Wang Hao had not noticed that the Grim Reaper had arrived. Seeing his father flying toward him, a look of relief appeared on his face. Just as a smile began to curl at the corners of his mouth, his gaze froze, and in the next heartbeat, his life force slowly faded away.

The old man of the Qian family looked at the jade talisman with suspicion, whereas Qian Ming appeared unconcerned; surely they would make others consume the medicinal herb first, and if it were poisonous, it would be obvious at a glance.

With a unified strike of its four wings, the treasure bead, which recklessly exuded the aura of the Profound Heaven, was knocked away... flying incredibly far.

He had always treated Lin Wanwan like a younger sister. What kind of brother would personally push his own sister into a pit of fire?

As it turned out, this ability of the mutated Red Cloud Blood Bead Fruit seemed to have been infinitely reinforced... the pain was agonizing.

And he could use this opportunity to see clearly exactly who his legendary father was.

The sissy's laugh was truly fearsome in its power; even through the phone, Chu Tian felt a chill run through his entire body.

In the Martial World, a Soul Saint Artifact alone was a highly coveted weapon, possessed by very few. Now, the soul weapon within Xiao Yi's body was likely a Peerless Saint Artifact or even a Dao Artifact surpassing that level. How could this not shock the martial artists and stir their hidden desires?

In the distance, Gu Lie watched Chu Yi perform such heaven-defying feats; his heart trembled, and he was filled with intense wariness toward Chu Yi.

Now, regarding Shi Ya's condition, he could only use internal martial arts to save her, and he... was in a bind.

Four assault vehicles, fully armed, carried over twenty elite soldiers, looking sharp and spirited. Each held a Type 95 automatic rifle. After leaping from the vehicles, their movements were rapid, their division of labor clear, and their clean efficiency was astonishing.

Then, he lunged forward, simultaneously unleashing the full power of his bloodline and employing a high-grade spirit-level combat technique.

Morandi also realized that things could not go on like this; he couldn't help but glance at Long Yin and Huachun in mid-air, and immediately spoke to Ye Qing.

Without giving the Slaughter King time to be shocked, accompanied by a roar, the Slaughter King's already cracked flesh disintegrated. As his body crumbled, the vertical eye that had existed at the center of his brow suddenly detached and vanished into the void.

"Tiger, what's going on over there with you? With the Imperial Dynasty?" Zhao Ritian roared, almost interrogating him.

"If you don't want Zhou Guiting to come out, that's fine too. Just let our colleagues go, and we'll return this child to you!" the team leader added from the side.

Many who came here had received favors from Dr. Xu. Now that his son, Xu Xian, had placed fourth in the grand examinations, they all came to offer their congratulations; the scene was clamorous and bustling.

Now that his wife was telling him someone had come looking for him to buy "A-grade" knockoffs, Huo Guang was truly a bit bewildered.

But what happened next ruthlessly mocked the young Li Jiancheng, who was harboring such unrealistic fantasies.

The purple energy vanished as quickly as it appeared, like a rainbow after a rainstorm—appearing to span the horizon, only to disappear without a trace.

It caused the common people to lose all confidence in the domestic stock market. Why did no one touch that stuff later? Because everyone knew that buying a lottery ticket was more reliable than the stock market you people manipulate.
