Chapter 23

Chen Xuan wasted no time and began testing the cauldron; under his purple flames, the dragon-shaped inscriptions emitted a cyan luster.

"What else do you want to happen? Hmph!" Li Xueqian, fueled by embarrassment and rage, was about to lash out with a habitual kick, but suddenly remembering Hu Cheng's combat prowess and the scene she had just witnessed, she pulled back in time.

The spider, catching the scent of blood, crawled over. It first climbed onto Qi Xuan’s leg, who moved intentionally, and as a result, the spider bit him, successfully neutralizing the poison in his system as he had hoped.

Hu Cicheng seemed to have just consulted Wan Qingchun regarding the dosage of the Great Five Elements Essence Pill. He was brimming with excitement, eager to return immediately to consume the Fire Essence Pill and elevate his cultivation.

Next, guided by Zhao San’er, Constable Zhang led a squad of twenty soldiers, along with Qingyue Qingbao and Tang Jian, toward the remote mountain river behind Phoenix Town.

To them, possessing multiple types of combat strength would be a fantasy for anyone else, but for Chu Yuan, it was a commonplace affair.

After all, ever since Qingtian had toppled Ye Huan to rise into the ranks of first-rate gangs, there were very few people left who could impress Sun Yipeng or were worthy of arranging a battle with Qingtian. So, what exactly defined a third-rate boss?

The centurion agreed repeatedly to his face, though he felt unconvinced in his heart. Even Modu feared the Han army, so why was General Wei so afraid of Modu?

She walked unceremoniously to the window of the Bentley and knocked heavily twice, but there was still no response. Just as her hand began to ache and she was about to kick the door, the window finally rolled down slowly.

His words truly awakened the others. They all realized that the nine of them had all sustained significant injuries, likely the result of killing each other in the pitch-black darkness.

Watching him eat the dumplings she had deliberately cooked to give him a hard time without the slightest hesitation, her anger, no matter how great, dissipated.

To fully understand this mechanism, Chu Guan continuously modified components for experimentation. Finally, after spending the better part of a day and thousands of storage points, he figured out how to utilize the appearance modification permissions to alter the functional parts of the components and the judgment mechanism for their operation.

Upon entering the crypt, Nirvana-realm martial artists had told them: when a warrior dies, do not weep and do not grieve. If you have the ability, kill a few more crypt warriors to avenge them; if you lack the ability, then grit your teeth and endure it.

The problem, however, was that with so many rock lizards, he feared he could not stop them without using storage components. Yet, once those components were used, the people from the Reverse Scale would certainly investigate him, especially since he had explicitly declared himself a physical-enhancement type Awakened.

Lu Xuan’s spine first stiffened, then instantly arched; at the same time, his fist had already struck out.

Frenda looked at Su Yu with some trepidation, and Kinuhata Saiai also appeared tense. It was true that they wanted to become stronger, but this price was indeed a bit high.

"In a moment, just charge out; leave the enemies to me," Lu Xuan said, turning back after a brief thought.

Wang Xiuyuan clearly had not expected Lu Xuan, who was always a miser, to share anything with them, and he gazed at Lu Xuan with a broad smile.

Only then did沖野洋子 (Okino Yoko) notice the car nearby and Su Yu inside. She hurriedly apologized to the director and walked over.

Dong Haiboping looked deeply at Zhang Ye and said, "Zhang Ye, you have gained 1.44 billion points of destiny in this Hundred Tribes Championship; the rise of the human race is in sight. After deliberation by the Elder Council, the Sanctuary has decided to bestow upon you the following rewards."

Bodhi Patriarch said, "This earth demon has at least ten thousand years of cultivation; capturing it is not easy, but it is not impossible."

"It carries a Sith weapon." Immediately, some cultivators grew greedy, as anyone could see that the chain was extraordinary. Yet, no one dared to snatch it.

He had just reached out to grasp it when he was sent flying with a bang; the bystanders did not even see what had happened.

Sha Wujing said, "Master, you must be hungry. You and Second Brother stay here while I look for a nearby household to beg for some vegetarian food."

Following this, the figure of a white-clad youth carrying a divine sword appeared in the vast world projection. His figure was towering, overlooking the earth, his gaze seemingly encompassing every corner of this star.

"Turn into a puddle of water!" the black-robed man gritted his teeth, staring at Ji Ning, as the two halves of his body quickly moved together and began to fuse automatically.

"Big, but you are petting his head while I have to carry such a heavy guy," came the grievance-filled reply from the North Border Black Nightmare via telepathic communication.

Seeing his cold demeanor, the leading cultivator was slightly taken aback but did not show much, though several cultivators behind him could not help but reveal their anger.

He reached out and gently patted Lu Feng’s shoulder, a gesture that left many in great surprise, for Young Master Luo was acting far differently today than usual. Looking at Lu Feng, Young Master Luo remained all smiles as he spoke.

After confirming that the seal was correct, Mr. Zhang could only nod and address Jiang Jiuling before him.

Removing the bullets and returning the gun to its holster, Marlin tossed the cartridges into his ammunition pouch and threw the pouch onto his bed.

The two promotional meetings ended a day earlier than Ge Muzi had estimated, so she booked a red-eye flight back to Kunming that very night.

Just before getting into the car, Qin Shanhai looked back at Old Zhongtou and Li Yingxue, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Yang Tianning was stunned, staring blankly at Pei Heng. He watched as Pei Heng paused his movements, glanced at Yang’s hand suspended in mid-air, and slowly moved the cup over as a signal before downing it in one gulp.

Noticing the abnormality in Yuri万里谷 (Yuri Mariya) at once, Amakasu Touma narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed to Luo Tianhuan, and retreated silently.

Two years later, their child was already a year old. The baby was fair and chubby with long eyelashes, and those large eyes looked exactly like Pei Heng’s.

Seeing that Luo Tianhuan could not go into the sea to swim, Xiao Bingli thought for a moment, then went ashore to help him set up a beach umbrella.

Xiahou Jingyuan did not remember what that pain of the "Hundred Ghosts Devouring the Soul" was truly like, but compared to the three years of soul-lost agony, it did not seem sufficient to make him give up.
