Chapter 54: Reunion After Long Separation

“Are you truly going to help Xi Yun?”
“What do you mean by bow and arrows?”
Lu Qingfei was about to reply when she suddenly sensed something was amiss. She frowned and turned her head, and in that instant, a thick mist surged forth, enveloping them both.

A chilling wind whipped Lu Qingfei’s loose hair. She swiftly formed a hand seal, but before the flame-tipped arrow of spiritual energy could take shape, a familiar, amused voice rang out.

“Long time no see, Lu Qingfei.”

A powerful force burst into Xiao Tian’s right arm, sending him flying backward in an instant; blood spattered through the air, dazzling and vivid like fireworks.

As the Heart-Tempering Array was just beginning to take form, disciples of the Hall of Yama had already cleared a wide open space.

“It looks like it’s time for me to act!” Lan Se glanced behind at one of the third-generation genetically modified soldiers.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ling Zimo leapt onto the high platform with a single bound. He waved dismissively at Shi Xiao, appearing utterly unconcerned.

Before Ling Zimo’s eyes, the scene suddenly blurred and shifted—strange faces and landscapes flashed past, as if he had been transported to a bustling city street. Looking ahead, Han Yan had already vanished without a trace.

Yet Ouyang Xinghe’s vigilance was not unwarranted, for the last time Zhang Fan spoke those words, the world’s greatest wine god had wept.

He laid the corpse on the ground. Leng Xiaohan hurriedly stripped the thug’s clothes, stuffed them into his backpack, and immediately put them on.

The horrifying videos from Tianxia City had already spread far and wide. In his six-winged form, Zhang Fan’s rampage had nearly torn the city apart.

Chu Jian, holding Liu Xiao’er hostage, advanced step by step, forcing the black-clad men to retreat. Soon, they reached the courtyard. The gate was now close at hand; once they stepped outside, the assailants would dare not act recklessly.

“I never considered her human,” Chi Yan said, her crimson lips curling into a mocking smile.

Each cutting word stabbed into Fugaku’s heart like a nightmare. The flickering Sharingan before him were unmistakably the eyes of demons, as if, in their minds, he—the clan leader—was nothing more than a weapon to threaten Konoha.

Gu Mengmeng was lost in the bliss of love, and only snapped back to herself when she heard the man’s voice.

Although Qian was shocked by Echizen’s move, the instant Echizen leapt, Qian had already retreated swiftly to the backcourt, preparing to intercept his smash.

In some sense, Jiang Tiansheng’s death was partly her doing. If anyone found out, even if Crow spared her parents, her whole family would be doomed to a life in hell.

Inside was a camouflage bag. In the silent night, the clamor of battle in the distance could not hide the sound of the zipper opening.

Zhou Yuan and the others climbed the rugged, winding mountain path, feeling invigorated as they ascended. At a gentle slope halfway up, they saw locals bowing in worship before a massive tree, around which offerings of pig heads, chickens, ducks, and burnt incense paper were heaped.

“But Lord Orochimaru, the Third’s orders were to capture him alive,” a cat-masked ANBU reminded urgently.

Though being a call editor was hardly important, to Judy, working the phones for a hit show was far better than for the unpopular “Midnight Bell.”

He saw Bai Li Xin pull two pieces of escape gear from the aircraft, handing one to him.

As if still unsatisfied, he yanked Qin Hui’s hair as if dragging a mop, slamming his head against the wall.

Among the million-strong army, the cavalry generals shuddered in unison, crimson glints in their eyes, murderous intent blazing as they charged ahead of the main force.

Without waiting for the young lord to utter a word of agreement, she pushed the door open and left, as though she could not stand to remain a moment longer.
