Volume 1, Chapter 34: Fourth Brother Zhu, You’ve Ruined Me!

The slightly open collar revealed the edge of a white inner robe, along with a glimpse of a fair and alluring chest.

The molting period of the Thousand-Illusion Poison Python is the prime opportunity to strike; however, should it successfully molt without being slain, Song Yan and Old Man Song Yu would have no choice but to flee for their lives.

The old man played his part well, slapping his own forehead with an expression of regret, appearing as if he were truly vexed over asking the wrong question.

A mix of rage, shock, and amusement—Gu Ye could imagine that her expression must be quite comical right now; she was likely a portrait of colorful chaos.

The atmosphere suddenly turned stiflingly oppressive. The most anxious of all was Shen Qianyue; after all, this matter had originated because of her. Now that she had implicated Shi Tian into a duel against such a formidable expert, she felt nothing but self-reproach. Yet, at this moment, besides silently supporting Shi Tian and praying for him, there seemed to be nothing she could do.

In this world, few who take up the sword live to see a peaceful end. But for a soldier, dying on the battlefield is an honor; perishing under the weight of schemes and conspiracies, however, is a tragedy in the truest sense.

The guard spoke in a muffled voice, his eyes filled with memories, as if he were once again recalling the snow-covered battlefields during the three campaigns against Goguryeo.

With just this single move, many of the cultivators present gasped in amazement, each of them sighing in admiration.

"Would you like them to accompany you? They are all soldiers, special forces from the military, the kind who have been through a hundred battles!" Situ Qianmeng said.

"Not interested. Bro, we're not interested." Leaving behind a curt "not interested," Gu Ye darkened her face and pushed past KC, who was blocking her path. Arguing with someone like him was meaningless.

She smiled to express her gratitude to Qin Qing, who lifted her innocent face and beamed back at her, as if she were genuinely happy for her.

Deep down, Hiroaki Ochiai harbored another thought: to use this competition format to gauge the upper and lower limits of these contestants and see if there were any other possibilities for development.

But in that brief second, I glanced to the side and noticed that, I know not when, a group of people in plain clothes had appeared in the hospital corridor and were walking toward us.

Last time, he had angered her so much that she left him for eight years. After eight years, her anger had not yet dissipated; how could Zhao Siting dare to provoke her again?

Looking at it now, the Resurrection Society possessed the greatest strength, but Qin Fan was not worried. The wild tribe lacked true powerhouses, and the natural racial barriers between exotic beasts would surely prevent any significant cooperation.

The Rising Wheel Sword was once wielded by the ancestor of the Qing family, King Qing. Back when King Qing was one of the Seven Kings under the throne of the King of the Underworld Abyss, his military exploits were illustrious and his name shook the heavens.

"Boom!" A violent tremor suddenly shook the surroundings. Lin Xiao was startled as the area turned murky once more, yet the shaking did not cease.

Reminded by the man holding her, Lu Manman seemed to finally recall the purpose of their visit tonight.

With guidance from a master like Elder Wei, Lu Manman was fortunate enough to avoid many detours in her medical pursuits.

Dugu Ba was utterly shocked. Does a freak do everything in a freakish way? Eating spirit herbs like meals—could he really stomach that?

Others, such as Xiang Yu, were nobles of the original State of Chu. These remnants of the six fallen states were constantly fantasizing about overthrowing the Qin Dynasty and reclaiming their power. Thus, they fanned the flames of discord from the shadows, tearing the vast Qin Empire asunder.

"Are you unaware that I have a bounty on you? How dare you chatter in my presence!" Mu Lingfeng picked at his ear and said dismissively.

The Profound Underworld Palace displayed its might, crushing everything in its path. Even though the Shura Realm army had a strong will and was brave beyond measure, they were a force that had lost its military soul; how could they possibly resist the overwhelming power of the Celestial Realm army?

Seeing me return, Ning Xia was—to say she wasn't excited would be a lie—but I felt a sense of detachment lingering there. I went to my room to retrieve the gift for her.

Aside from Mu Lingfeng, a silver shield suddenly appeared on his teammates, and the word "Immune" floated repeatedly above Ezreal's head.

Li Youcai felt as though his feet were filled with lead. Even though he hadn't reached his limit yet, he couldn't take another step forward.

However, just as the saltwater crocodiles thought they could tear apart the humans who dared to provoke them, a change occurred. The moment their bodies touched the ground, they discovered it was incredibly soft. Before they could react, the ground collapsed instantly, revealing the scene below.

Seeing that the situation was somewhat favorable for his side, Xiong Li bid farewell to Qu Yi and returned to the barracks to rest. The camp was only so large; ten thousand men was the defensive limit, and more would be of no use. It was better to rest. There would be plenty of chances to kill the enemy; there was no need to rush.

Jin Dinglong, leader of the Ninth Group of the National Ministry Security Bureau, suddenly realized that he had fallen into a position of total weakness in his standoff with Cui Bin.

"Are you still feeling uneasy?" Qiu Tian patted her back gently. He knew why Phoenix Dance was troubled, but this matter was already a foregone conclusion.

Alas, who was to blame when she hadn't actually done anything? Truth be told, Zhu Houzhao was no fool; he naturally knew of Red Coral hiding in the Yang residence.

The black panther showed no sign of submission, still watching Xu Chuan with a predatory posture. Sometimes, mystical beasts have more backbone than humans. Seeing that the panther wouldn't yield for a while, he wasn't in a hurry. He sealed the panther's entire body, stored it in the Buddha Bead world, and planned to train it slowly when he had the time.

If Sakumo Hatake knew that the succession of the Hokage after his death would turn out like this, I believe he would truly be angry enough to come back to life, only to commit suicide all over again. Believe me.

"If not that, then this. Brother, you must accept this at least." Liu Dejiang handed him a savings passbook.
