There were many energy matrices extracted from Apocalypse, and Belcher found it difficult to put them all to practical use in such a short time. But the ability to control sand, earth, and steel had been deciphered through round-the-clock effort.
Maintaining his style unchanged was Liu Dehua’s guarantee of making money, because the young people of Hong Kong and Taiwan wanted precisely that Liu Dehua.
From then on, Shen Ci and Ao Qing shared the same opinion and a secret between them, bringing them even closer.
She hastily wiped the rain from her face. Ahead, everything was shrouded in gray, and the road was impossible to make out. The horse had already begun to exhale great clouds of white mist. Tang Zixi grew anxious; they had to find somewhere to take shelter from the rain.
Jiang Chao helplessly shrugged, turned around, and hurried back with everyone else. Along the way, corpses killed beneath the heavenly tribulation could be seen everywhere.
She lay weakly on the shoal, staring blankly at the fireflies dancing through the air. By now, she remembered that the Ghost Servant had rescued her before she lost consciousness, but she knew nothing of what had happened afterward.
“Let’s go, brothers. See you around. I’ll see if I can get you something tasty. If I do, I’ll bring it over!” Chen Xinghang waved and headed toward the command center’s exit, while Li Liu continued studying the satellite imagery.
Qi Yong gave an awkward laugh. “Junior Brother Yu, you came to look for Junior Sister, right? Then you two carry on. I’ll be off first.” With that, he lifted his foot and prepared to slip away.
If he truly had some hidden scheme, it would still be difficult to say for certain, because the other party had already been living in the slums for half a month.
What Liu Dehua did not know was that by acting this way, he had not only gained a very useful friend but also spared himself a heartbreak.
The trees on both sides rushed backward at great speed. Suddenly, Liuli’s expression tightened. In her perception, Yu Asano’s chakra had stopped at a point ahead.
His hands were folded behind his back. The tip of his right index finger had split open, revealing a wound deep enough to show bone. Not a drop of blood flowed from it, yet the crimson-golden radiance could no longer be concealed.
Wu Jiu felt uneasy and did not know what to do. He flashed out of the room and flew straight toward the mountain.
“Damn, don’t tell me it’s a ghost?” Lin Feng turned around. Bathed in the bright moonlight, he carefully inspected the woods on both sides.
A ninth-level demon beast: equivalent to the late or perfected Nascent Soul stage, or the intermediate Transformation stage; possesses a demon core and must undergo the great heavenly tribulation of transformation.

Early the next morning, still half asleep, Lin Feng felt something poking him. He opened his bleary eyes and saw Shen Mengqi holding a branch, reaching from a considerable distance to prod his blanket.
Red Rose was pruning the flowers in the courtyard. When she heard Xiao Bing and the others laughing, she glanced over in their direction.
He had neither blocked the heavenly tribulation nor saved the Divine Continent. What face did he have to accept the title of Imperial Venerable, and how could he face the departed spirits of Cang Qi, Daoist Qi, and Taixu?
All of this naturally fell within Liu Qingshan’s view. At the same time, the other party’s abnormal behavior aroused his vigilance. Could it be that they had truly discovered something?
“Your Majesty, the envoy of the Prince of Luoyang has arrived in Luoyang.” On this day, Situ Liang reported to Zhao Xun a strange situation that left him somewhat perplexed.
“I’ll take a look and see what the matter is. If it’s something I can resolve, I certainly won’t refuse,” I said.
“Your Highness, Mocheng has already become your fief. You should keep these things in your own custody!” Li Ming said with a beaming smile.
“Outrageous! You’ve brought men to attack the residence of a third-rank official. Are you planning to rebel?” a furious voice roared from inside the estate.
He Ya also gazed at her father. She knew that since her father had been willing to come here, he would not be especially resistant to the conditions Ji Wuji had proposed, even if he could not accept them outright. This time, when He Zhongsheng had come to the royal capital, He Ya also wanted to see what decision he would make.
But he failed to notice that Gu Yan, who appeared to be bumping into things at random, was actually edging closer and closer to him.
Liu Maigan said with a grin, “The mother and daughter are close. Let her be.” Judging by the time, Qiaoling and Liu Aiyu should have reached the town long ago, but after searching the entire place, they had not even found a trace of them.
Chen Yue automatically ignored Gu Yan’s sarcasm toward her. To say that she had been dragged into this as a mere bystander was putting it rather painfully.
Jun Liuguang looked at Haoran. “I was born into a complicated and powerful aristocratic family. You saw that long ago, Young Master. But what you don’t know is that my father and my brothers hate me to the core. They knew I was leaving this time; presumably, they hoped I would die out there.” At that, Jun Liuguang sighed and drained a cup of wine.
“I don’t just have one face. I have two.” After saying this, Su Zhan deliberately touched his face.
Although Dongfang Shi could not quite understand what Xiao Chen was saying, Xiao Chen had saved his life several times, so he naturally found it difficult to refuse him.

Still, complaining was completely useless. Geng Haoshi was trapped in Room X-6, and if he refused to behave, they might not even let him have lunch… Yu Manman often used this method to “discipline” the players.
His heart brimmed with delight. At this rate, it would only be a matter of time before he completely warmed Liu Huiyin’s heart and made her hopelessly fall in love with him.
So the “good brother” Zhang Ling had mentioned was Brother Hua—the same Brother Hua who had said he wanted to have a proper spar with me before he left, and who had returned to the Celestial Realm without a word just before I went to the Demon Realm.
She had just skimmed through the documents piled more than a dozen centimeters high on the desk. The topmost document bore characters on its cover that she could not understand at all.
The preliminary tournament was divided into ten groups, with ten teams in each group. They would compete in elimination matches, and only the first-place team from each group could advance to the finals.
“Just look at you. You’re already grown, yet you still throw tantrums.” Chai Wang stared at Zhang Qiu with exasperation and said this.
Xia Zhi knew that Fang Qing was kindly reminding him that Director Zhao had many relatives who were officials in this establishment. Having just arrived and already offending so many people would indeed be unwise, so Xia Zhi swallowed his anger for the time being.
It was a pity that the limitations of the era now held them back. No one would buy anything too radical.
Seeing that the person who had opposed her had died, Hidden Lady turned to return to Red Thread and the others. At that moment, the Fifth Demon, Mi Wanjun, was filled with hatred. His eyes bloodshot, he stared at Hidden Lady’s back. Suddenly, he flicked his hand, and a streak of white light shot toward her from behind.
“I am the legitimate grandson of the imperial family and the rightful heir. The Princess Consort’s chastity naturally concerns the honor of the royal house. For the Empress Dowager to personally verify it is entirely proper. Surely the Princess Consort knows this?” Nangong Mo asked, though he already knew the answer, his meaning profound.
With such expressiveness, even if the song contained several obvious flaws, it was still more than enough to earn praise and satisfaction.
Good heavens, Ancestor Princess Consort, do you know what kind of blade that is? And do you know who entrusted me to deliver it into your hands? You gave it away without even taking a look?
