Volume 1, Chapter 46: Hugs and Cuddles

Wu Xinyang gritted his teeth and lunged forward with all his might, driven purely by the desire to overpower Zhang Yiming in raw strength.

King Qin Guang was utterly astounded, looking left and right, yet seeing nothing save for the halos formed by their Yama Halberds and that stinking monkey.

The crowd broke into discussions once more, with no one holding any hope for Wang Hao except for Lü Shuping and Lü Zhi.

According to the strategic plans of the General Headquarters, the German forces would remain on the offensive for a prolonged period in the future. Because offensive exercises better demonstrated the future utility of new weaponry, the generals wished to conduct a couple more experiments to rule out mere coincidence.

After all, the reason the White Deer Spirit and the Jade-Faced Vixen had been cooped up in this vegetable garden for so long was that a wandering monk had recently arrived at Gao的老庄 (Gao Family Village), and without a word of explanation, sealed them both in place, rendering them completely incapable of escaping regardless of the methods they tried.

At this moment, Lian Yuncheng abruptly stood up, immediately scooped up Hua Mei'er, and carried her to a safe location. Then, he stood his ground and calmly gazed at that Seventh Brother.

Seeing nothing inside the building except for a series of suspended staircases, Falling Leaf felt no disappointment, for his composure was always unwavering. After sitting atop the Prime Tower for a while to take in the magnificent scenery, Falling Leaf decided to descend.

Though he was a tank build, he had accidentally acquired a very special chip from the Misty Sea that granted him the blinding speed of a Phantom, while retaining his primary defensive capabilities as a tank. This combination of heavy defense and the speed bestowed by the special chip made him an absolute nightmare for many players who engaged him in PvP.

The disciples all wondered amongst themselves: could it be that the third thing their master cared about most was the grand enterprise of retrieving the scriptures?

Han Xueyi's hands slowly felt around among those bottles, tapping lightly against them. The bottles inside were completely empty, and nothing could be discerned within them. They appeared to be entirely transparent, hiding their contents from view.

"Elder sister, we were all raised by you and you are just like a mother to us; how could we stand by and watch you being bullied?"

Seeing that almost everyone remaining was willing to leave with him, Chu Qichen smiled inwardly, and promptly gathered them one by one into his pot-world, finally managing to deal with these fellows.

However, calmness did not equate to inaction, and Asai Nagamasa had no intention of letting Sakakibara Kazumasa and Honda Tadakatsu off. The next moment, a troop surged out from the Asai main camp, led by warriors clad in red as fierce as blazing fire.

In reality, the tunnel of this tomb was far wider than imagined, easily accommodating four people walking abreast, and leaving ample room for reinforcements.

Mochizuki Yoshimune would have liked to give such a reply, of course, but instead, he fished out from the depths of his memory the intelligence he had gathered regarding Saji Nobumasa, integrating it with Saji's actions over recent times.

"Another point is that we have already established our military achievements just now; it wouldn't do to leave none for the others. Lord Sakuma's cavalry unit on the highland has not yet sortied," Maeda Keijiro pointed toward the mountain fortress on the northern highland.

On the deck, Chu Qichen gently embraced Cagalli, who had rushed over to bid farewell, before releasing her with a smile.

The entire process took less than a minute. An enemy capable of comprehensively suppressing one of the Earth's most powerful military forces—the S.H.I.E.L.D. strike team—and resisting even nuclear strikes could not last a single minute before that angel. The chasm between them and Li Nan was vividly clear.

"How is the progress?" Reochuan asked upon arriving at the central control center of the base. The "people" here were all artificial humans, and the control center was staffed by around forty individuals, each attending to their respective duties.

Beholding Zhang Xiu's ferocious and menacing expression, the fellow was scared right down to his wits. Although getting a modicum of satisfaction from seeing this spineless lackey, Zhang Xiu's heart remained in turmoil; if he had offended Zhang Yi this time, he had no idea where he could hide to be safe. True to being a pampered good-for-nothing, he was not entirely a fool.

"The price will be that you, Master, will forfeit your advanced mastery of fel magic, while I refine this power into an essence and reinfuse it into this skull," Kel'thuzad answered Xue Huan's question while carving a magic circle onto the ground.

The formation hummed and revolved, and at the outermost layer, towering rock formations hundreds of feet high seemed to envelop the entire branch sect, making it look as impregnable as an iron barrel.

Wang Wanying said, shaking his head involuntarily, as it was clear he had never encountered such a situation before.

Yet even in the face of such atrocious weather, three figures pressed on against a blinding blizzard that could instantly freeze a mortal solid, making their way toward the city of Daying.

As the balance tipped with each passing day, when the final siege eventually commenced, the various defensive lines of Dongcang would no longer pose a difficulty to the myriad demon beasts.

Yao Feng flicked his sleeve, and a succession of golden swords materialized in the air around his body, radiating a terrifying sword intent that made the skin prickle.

When Su Xin uttered those words, although he was speaking to Luo Jing, his gaze remained fixed on Sun Zhaohua, as if directing the statement entirely to him.

"This concubine understands your intention in having her wear this Quju deep robe today! Master Wu has divined your fate, my lord, that you are destined to have no sons in this lifetime! Would my lord not do better to cherish your health?" Left Qingmeng gazed blankly at Qin Meng like a delicate, bewildered flower.

"Haha, you have done brilliantly, completely exceeding our expectations. How can you speak of failure?" The Lord of the Underworld chuckled. With his discernment, he could naturally see that Qin Feng had already attained the legacy of the Great Burial Sutra.

Within the sprawling Crown Prince's Mansion, was there anyone who failed to see Yu Wuxia's deep affection for her? Even if Hua Xuanji was utterly dense, she could perceive it, yet... the reason she refused to pierce the veil, nor allow Yu Wuxia to do so, was because she felt she was unworthy of him.
