Volume 1, Chapter 23: A Great Man

Bai Chou thought to himself: Judging by his aura, this must be Wei Tianpeng’s other great general, Lei Heng, the Winged Tiger.

As the status bar appeared above Lei Heng’s head, it read:
Martial Arts: Fierce Tiger Technique, Flying Tiger Blade Technique;
Weapon: Roaring Tiger-Tooth Blade (Fine);
Strength Level: 24th Heaven;

Even while upholding the alliance, Han Bing had to eliminate the possibility of the other party making exorbitant demands at a critical moment.

The Emperor must understand that if, after an assassination attempt, Duke Xianglong were still alive, then I dare say every province in the realm would obediently hand over their tax silver, with no one daring to refuse.

"Brother," Mi Ye called out to me, then pointed to Jian Hanyi, who was sitting limp on the ground behind me, sobbing uncontrollably.

What surprised Qiao Yuanshan was that in just a few months, Han Bing’s entire aura had undergone a startling transformation; he looked nothing like a rising star who had only reached the Grandmaster realm two months ago.

I must say, a divine beast’s egg is truly different. To the touch, it lacks the fragility of a chicken, duck, or goose egg, feeling as hard as a river pebble.

Admirable as it was, Wu Buche’s movements were anything but hesitant. His sword suddenly flashed out, black mist coiling around the blade. The sword energy, tinged with dark light, spilled forth like a grand splash of ink, as if he intended to paint an entire landscape across the heavens and earth.

Reluctant as he was, the facts were plain to see. If Ye Qingcheng wanted to carve out a piece of the Sanhe City cake for himself, he seemingly had no other choice but to continue his alliance with the Yuehua Sect.

The soldiers were at a loss; the situation was truly bizarre. Just then, a burst of loud laughter erupted from within the gates.

A figure flew out, reaching Shen Chenyu in two or three strides. With wide eyes, he stared fiercely into the eyes of the world’s greatest beauty, forcing her to retreat several steps in fright.

How about that? The clerks have discovered the glass cabinet that was smashed by that whip just now.

At that moment, the servant responsible for cleaning happened to reach the door of Jing Fa’s room. He had already been annoyed by the mess the wastewater had made of his cleaning schedule, and upon hearing a request for more clothes, his anger flared even further.

Arriving at the gate, Yuan Shidie received the same treatment as Jing Fa and was blocked by the guards.

One must realize that a veteran driver like him rarely practices during the winter break. Perhaps the loss to Zhang Yifei had wounded his pride, prompting him to train with uncharacteristic intensity in hopes of reclaiming his reputation on the F1 circuit.

Qin Yue suddenly mentioned Yin Qiuran, causing the drifting-minded Yin Qiuran to pull himself together. After a few seconds of pause to recall what Qin Yue had just said, he finally answered her.

Some said Hua Chanyi was mindful of the sisterly bond and could not bring herself to be too ruthless, but most believed she had found a new partner in the man surnamed Gu and had forgotten Shen Dongzi, dismissing her as an ungrateful, two-faced wretch.

The cultivators below ceased their chatter; they could see that the person in charge was growing angry, something that had never happened before.

The Hua household had been anything but peaceful these past few days. Hua Village had never seen a woman as beautiful as Li Guifen. Some bachelors, and even men with wives of their own, could not resist the temptation, climbing the Hua family’s walls in the middle of the night just to catch a glimpse of the beautiful woman.

Seeing the miraculous efficacy of Ni Cheng’s potion, Wang Dahai fell to his knees before him, kowtowing like a drum.

However, Bai Shu was intent on playing riddles with her; it would be no fun if he spelled it out. Hua Chanyi decided it was best to play the fool.

"Look at Li Fengchen," Su Muqing said again. Everyone turned to look at Li Fengchen and discovered that he and Wan Ruirui seemed to be discussing something, their ears pressed close from time to time, as if they were plotting something.
