Chapter 45
If that coffin was indeed removed to eliminate the remaining threat in this tomb, it implies that the coffin must serve a specific purpose for it. Otherwise, there would be no need to go to the trouble of moving the coffin while leaving the exit beneath it unblocked. Its haste in taking the coffin away without sealing off their escape route indicates that its sole objective lay with this very coffin.
In the capital, Gao Gong was suppressed by Xu Jie at every turn, with only his favored disciple, Tan Lun, having any chance to stand out.
This name sounded completely unfamiliar to Narcissus, yet Roger and the others watching not far away found it far from unfamiliar. For this fellow encased in a bright black metal shell, named Lensa, was recorded just like Narcissus in the booklet Maggie had just produced.
Having received a letter from Wang Lang, Sun Ce naturally had no intention of retreating his troops to Wu Commandery. Liu Yao was still in Wu Commandery after all. He certainly could not afford to lock horns with Liu Yao in a mutually destructive battle, only to let Yuan Shu trail behind and reap the rewards effortlessly. It would be far better to seize Kuaiji at the first opportunity instead.
However, Chen Zheng had no intention of continuing his seclusion cultivation just yet. Reaching the Seven Stars Galaxy would still take some time; he only needed to forge a somewhat larger magical treasure and ride upon exotic beasts and divine creatures. The journey to the Seven Stars Galaxy could then be utilized for cultivation. He believed that by the time they arrived at the Seven Stars Galaxy, his strength would have doubled, or even tripled.
At this moment, an endless killing intent surged overwhelmingly across heaven and earth. Toward that worthless prince consort of the Great Wu Dynasty, they harbored an infinite murderous resolve.
"So you came here just to turn Gardevoir into a human being. Although I don't know who you are, this one must be Arceus, right?" Cynthia walked up to my side and greeted me with her arm resting on my shoulder.
After quite a while, that sensation gradually receded, though it did not completely vanish. He felt as though he could no longer articulate any complete sentences, his entire tongue completely paralyzed.
However, before Zhuo Yue's voice had even faded, Fairy Yuhua and Fairy Kongyue also stepped forward to assist Zhang Han and Fairy Zhang, making it five fairies in total battling Zhuo Yue. Yet Zhuo Yue was truly formidable; even with the five of them joining forces, they could do nothing against him. Seeing this from afar, Shengtian could not help but grow anxious in his heart.
"Hello, I'm Fuuki's boyfriend, and I'm dating her with the intention of marriage——" As I approached a doorway, guided by Fuuki's gesture, I pushed it open. Before I could even react, a fist struck me squarely in the face, sending me flying backward. The moment the door slammed shut, I caught sight of a bulky shadow.
It was hard to say whether Song Rui or Chen Taibai was stronger, but as reinforcements arrived one after another, the members of the Samsara Gate stood no chance against everyone combined.
As it turned out, she happened to run into Hou Yu, leading so many people to misunderstand what had transpired between them, something Lu Yuxuan found exceedingly difficult to bear.
Withdrawing once more from his spiritual consciousness space, Lin Nan looked at the face opposite him that was identical to his own, a deeply bizarre sensation rising within his heart.
Following those previous rounds of cavalry combat, the enthusiasm of both the royal nobility and the lower-ranking attendants and soldiers inevitably waned quite a bit.
"Brother Lin, I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you." At that moment, a slightly surprised voice reached Lin Nan's ears.
Lin Nan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up, uttered a casual instruction, and then strode forward with bold steps.
The head coaches of both sides had no particular instructions for the moment. Since the match had just begun, the players appeared somewhat cautious, and there was plenty of time left; there was no need to rush into changing tactics.
The Vant Corporation was controlled by two major families, which everyone knew to be the Akiyama family and the Sato family. If the two families were akin to monarchs, then the Kamikaze Bureau was the monarchs' invincible general beneath them.
The twenty-two starting players had already taken the field. Moroni and Rossi had each chosen their ball possession and side of the pitch, and both teams were now in position, awaiting the chief referee's whistle.
Li Feiyang's face had originally been full of smiles, but upon hearing my words, the smile on his face froze completely.
Unconcerned with the price, Tongtian directly clicked to learn it. Looking at this scholar ability, Tongtian could not help marveling at how truly useful this feature was. If other player classes could play this way too, then rare skill books would never sell for astronomical prices.
What surprised Luo Hao the most was that during his breakthrough, his original five-脉 Qi ocean had now expanded to a six-脉 Qi ocean. Ever since he began cultivating, his Qi ocean had evolved from a useless one-脉 Qi ocean, occasionally improving during breakthroughs, all the way to the present six-脉 Qi ocean—a phenomenon that even Luo Hao, with the memories of two lifetimes, could not explain.
"Why did you hit me?" Tears welled up in my eyes, spilling uncontrollably. With a burst of laughter, everyone erupted into amusement. My disheveled appearance was nothing more than a joke in their eyes.
Fierce Wind Raging Heaven and Lust Emperor were presumably old rivals, as the former easily discerned the weaknesses in Lust Emperor's attacks and evaded them with great ease.
There was also the matter of Xiongyun Group opening a branch office, and searching for Qiu Mei; far too many things pressed down upon me, leaving me barely able to catch my breath.
I offered a graceful bow to the Daoist priest to express my gratitude for saving Chu Qing's life, then turned and walked toward the direction of the Ganlu Palace, fearing that the priest might decline my bow out of regard for our differing social ranks.
"Does that mean the Demon race will soon attack our main city?" Yan Jie asked in astonishment.
A powerful force was unleashed from the primordial spirit of Black Linglong, and Dian Feng, despite his status as a true immortal, was actually forced back.
Muyang walked into the room, familiarly picking up a decanter to pour two glasses of red wine, handing one to Kyle, who subconsciously took it. Muyang gently swirled his glass to let the wine fully integrate with oxygen, releasing the tannins and enhancing its flavor.
Jinqing turned her head to look at him expressionlessly, pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve, and handed it to Meng Jun, saying, "Wipe your hands."
Thinking back, when Totori had cosplayed Misaka Mikoto that day, she really hadn't maintained it for very long. She stayed in the shop for two or three minutes, ran for a few minutes, and knocked QB away right outside her front door. Adding it all up, it seemed she grew tired in less than ten minutes. Was it because of the undergarments and the school badge?
Madam Ye had given birth to children before, and she instantly panicked out of fear. She hurriedly instructed people to change Li Qiu-tang's clothes, carry her to the bed, and send someone to invite a physician.
This courtyard was not very large; the outer stone walls were more than twice the person's height. The main gate was tightly shut, and the couplets on the door frame were long since aged, their red paint peeling away under the erosion of rain, appearing somewhat pale.
Back in Qingshui County, her master had taught her that life is like a copper coin: it must be round on the outside and square on the inside. Only when the exterior is smooth can it roll far along the road. If carriage wheels were square with sharp corners, how could the carriage possibly travel?
