Volume 1, Chapter 61: Staying Here Voluntarily

The young woman sitting beside Kawashima Yoshiko involuntarily lifted her chin, thrusting her chest out proudly. With watery eyes, she cast a glance at Xiao Sifeng, a blush spreading across her face.

In comparison, however, most of these geniuses came from prominent sects; they were arrogant and aloof, paying little attention to one another. Upon seeing Yang Chen arrive, they didn't even spare him a single glance.

Immediately afterward, Gongyi Tianheng flashed forward to block another member of the Giant Rock clan, his powerful palm strike shattering their stone armor. Then, with a sudden shift in movement, he did the exact same thing to the other two Giant Rock clansmen.

By doing this, even Fu Xianlong was left dumbfounded, and quite annoyingly, he kept teasing her about whether she had undergone a complete personality change.

In the West Yao Mountains, the purple vine had once devoured the mortal-grade soul of that devoted agent. However, at this moment, Xiao Lang still harbored not a shred of certainty, because this was a heavenly-grade soul, and Xiao Qingbao's strength was immense.

Yang Tianfeng raised his binoculars and kept them there for a long time, picturing the might of rocket artillery once deployed in actual combat and imagining the miserable fate of the Japanese devils.

Things unfolded precisely as Gu Zuo had anticipated. Upon reaching the seventh cavern, just as they arrived at the entrance, more than a dozen materialized fire pythons rushed out. Compared to the previous two fierce tigers, these were infinitely more difficult to deal with.

Among the successors to the Sword Lord, only two had manifested in the world thus far: one was Yang Zhen, and the other was Chen Xiaohua. Having confirmed their status as Sword Lord successors, this was precisely why they had all gathered in the East China Sea later on.

He Yunxiao was an upright and magnanimous hero. Since the other party had died for humanity and been framed by traitors, he should not have to bear such undeserved infamy.

Before Xiang Yuan could even open her mouth after placing the specialty products brought back from Shanghai onto the coffee table, Blue Jiyu began pouring out all these matters to her in a relentless stream.

"The Anpostian Building has both refrigeration and autopsy facilities, and it's quiet—a great place for us to work!" Zhou Hong said.

After the Li brothers left, Yang Feng came in to offer Ji Yun a cup of wine. He knew the situation today; during the earlier negotiations, many people who knew he had taken down the local tyrants wanted a cut of the spoils, but the moment Ji Yun appeared, all of them shrank back timidly.

"I heard from Mr. Heloy that you wanted to see me?" Adela eyed L, who had just walked in, along with the companion behind him.

By the day the college entrance examination results were released, Manjing picked up the phone somewhat nervously, ready to inquire about her scores.

"These monkeys are actually starting a rebellion, confiscating our property—they're cut from the same cloth as the Boxers. Let's see our massive warships and heavy cannons blast them to smithereens!" Wesley gazed at the dilapidated fishing boats along the Yangtze River.

Mu Xi followed Mother Ming all the way to the end of the alley, and then climbed up to the floor via a narrow staircase.

"Damn it, are you ignoring me? Even Brother Qu's wine could be fake? Do you bumpkins even recognize this kind of wine?" A young man flashing gold jewelry swaggered over and shoved Xie Yulong with a sweep of his arm.

"Master, didn't you... make him reflect on his mistakes through wall-gazing?" At the mention of Tang Zirui, the others all wore expressions of worry.

Zhao Boyang stepped forward with a cold expression, figuring that Yuan Lai must find movement difficult now that he was restrained; at this moment, his Three Lives Sword would be enough to kill his opponent.

Xiao Wuxie did not offer any words of comfort. In his view, it was time to let Ling Yunxi understand the sinister nature of the human heart. Those who forever hid beneath their parents' protection would never grow up, let alone achieve true personal growth.

Yet once it was determined that the two sides could not rest until one died, he made his resolute decision, determined to take the opponent's life when the right opportunity arose. It was a principle of not striking unless necessary, but aiming straight for the fatal spot once he did.

"Could it be that I'm afraid of you?" Zhou Yin was inwardly overjoyed, though on the surface he feigned great fury.

Precisely because the Thousand-Mile Vessel could absorb the energy of soul stones, its use was strictly forbidden at the Guangnan Assembly. Tayong could never have imagined that a rogue dragon would be leisurely twirling a staff while teaming up with Mi Dou to resist the consumption of his divine sense—this was an unfairly matched two-on-one.

He found a secluded yet observation-friendly spot to settle down, keeping his eyes glued to every single movement within the canyon.

However, Elder Fengshi's physical body did not possess an innate advantage, so if the situation continued this way, Elder Fengshi would lose.

"You guys couldn't possibly be doing this just to seek a thrill, could you? I refuse to believe your family can't even afford the entry fee of a thousand catties of grain," Lei Sheng questioned aggressively.

Bang! The crisp sound of a striking pebble rang out. However, contrary to expectations, the white crystal was neither ground into fragments nor sent flying violently.

If Xiao Wuxie had resembled a gentle lamb just moments ago, right now he was absolute, without a doubt, a God of Slaughter incarnate.

At this moment, the Dragon Scorpion's entire body flashed alternately with red and black light, circles of radiance moving from its head and tail toward the center, until they were finally absorbed by the fourteen light spots on its back.

Mou Yichen's first day of school happened to coincide with the day Wu Yuan and Shu Ming got engaged, as well as the hundredth day celebration for Xue Junyi's son. Instead of returning to the country, Mou Yichen sent Jason and Yehang to attend on his behalf.

After leaving the NG Building, Shen Tong headed to Chinatown, remembering there was a custom formalwear shop located there.

That could hardly be considered a corpse anymore! If not for the power of the Heavenly Bead, Shi Xiaofeng probably would have vomited even what he had eaten three days ago.

"Mingfan, Big Brother already said so. What on earth are you afraid of? You're not actually trying to dodge a gathering with friends, are you?" Ming Cheng deliberately provoked him, leaving Mingfan with nothing to say as he obediently got into the car.

"Mingfan, listen to them and go take a look," Yu Manli said, handing him a handkerchief. Mingfan took the handkerchief, shook his head, and replied, "No need, I might still get beaten when I get home. I'll head back first; you guys can tell me the competition results tomorrow." With that, supported by Mingtai, he limped away.

Passing him from person to person, the villagers carried Song Qingqing into the house. Guo Yan and his son set his bones, restored his joints, and applied blood-circulation-promoting and stasis-dissolving medicine. They followed up with cedar splints and ramie bandages to fix the angle of his shoulder movement and the position of his collarbone, preventing further displacement and keeping the broken ends elevated.
