Volume 1, Chapter 58: First Encounter with a Formidable Foe

Fortunately, amidst this wave of attacks, Han Xin bore the brunt of the force; otherwise, Xiao Yi would certainly not have been left with merely churning blood and qi.

The patient slowly opened his eyes, still somewhat hazy and blurred, while the bedside was crowded to the point of overflowing.

Lin Shiyin's pretty face flushed red, and she completely dared not let her mind wander. Yet, despite her shyness, she did not struggle forcefully; otherwise, given her cultivation level, breaking free from Xiao Yi would have been no difficult task.

All around, people came and went, each with their own moods and their own stories. Amidst this tranquil bustle, however, they all became hurried passersby, lingering not even for a fleeting moment.

Following a deafening explosion, those two third-tier Battle Emperors were crushed into a bloody pulp by Wang Minghais single punch before they could even emit a miserable scream. Even their souls were directly obliterated within that single blow.

Liu Zi let out a cold snort. Looking at the more than twenty menacing assassins from the Dark Blood organization rushing toward him, he showed not a shred of fear, clenched his fists, and charged straight at them.

Yet now, given Shiya's condition, he could only rely on internal martial arts to save her, and he... found himself in a dilemma.

However, for Liu Yang to provoke Wang Tianhao was a grave mistake. Wang Tianhao held direct command authority over the Guanghe Military Region; all the troops here fell under the jurisdiction of the Tianhai Military District, and as a Major General and Commander of the Tianhai Military District, he was equally a general upon arriving here. The moment Liu Yang raised his gun, he had already stepped into a fiery pit.

In front of the vehicle, He Pengyun saluted, signaling for identification to be presented. Even without it, notification was required; otherwise, even if it were a major boss, he would not dare let them pass.

In the Southern Domain, the moment Zhong Miaoxue executed Xiao He with a single strike, she transformed into a streak of rainbow light and charged directly toward the Eastern Domain. Ahead of Zhong Miaoxue, countless vines emerged, weaving together to construct a gigantic sky bridge for her.

The common people did not dare to venture outside, but the government soldiers would not allow it. Before they could finish their meal, they were disturbed by the sound of gongs and drums, ordered to gather at the city gates.

"Reporting to Senior, we accompanied Guitu here, so please let us go together!" Li Bingkun replied.

Their numbers were not large, but they all looked thoroughly exhausted, having labored for a considerable length of time, after all.

Looking at the face before her—one that clearly wore a smile yet remained chillingly aloof and distant—she understood that this person meant it quite literally.

Therefore, the heavy burden of improving the internal combustion engine fell upon his shoulders. Recently, what he and more artisans had been discussing was how to drastically enhance its efficiency. At present, rigid sealing was indeed a very poor operational method, as it easily led to explosions.

Senior Brother, you agreed to help him with these matters before even understanding those things at all.

Ru Xue sat on the bed with a aggrieved expression, while in the next room, Ye Guochen had already edited the latest Weibo post and hit send.

Standing before him, Hua Buyu trembled incessantly, thinking to herself that since she was in such a state, he surely would feel some tenderness and pity for a woman. If so, her bitter-pleating strategy would already be half successful.

Only the imperial lineage could truly pass down real power, while the various princes had to experience a diminishing succession rank.

"Knowing that Grandmother's health remains as robust as ever sets my mind at ease. Since Grandfather and Grandmother arrived, why didn't you send word in advance so we could go to the city gates to welcome you?" Qiguo walked out and said in a raised voice.

This explains why some people can win uproarious applause by using bodily functions and genitalia as punchlines, while others are deemed crude, crass, and lacking in upbringing.

To look at it from another perspective, if he were the laws of the Great Dao, how would he deal with someone like himself?

Finally, they rounded a corner, stepping into a corridor and leaving behind the eerie, tranquil hall and the prying eyes of the golden elves.

The potential rewards were high; even failure would not result in immediate death, while success was equivalent to directly prying open the door to the company's true core management.

Erti was so angry her mouth was twisted sideways, yet she could do nothing against Xu Zheng. Her eyes, which were not naturally large, widened into perfect circles, and her expression made it seem as though she wanted to rush over and bite Xu Zheng a couple of times.

Father Valentine paused for a moment, opening his mouth as if to say something, only to see General Faluya beckoning to them and walking toward the manor.

Amidst Yang Ying's gentle tenderness, Wang Meng stepped into the teleportation array. This time, his feeling upon departure was far better than the last; he was no longer utterly ignorant of the Great Origin Realm and the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance was not omnipotent.

The human-skin robe's resistance to physical attacks was roughly three times that of standard full-plate fine steel armor, and it provided a mandatory 20% reduction in magic damage. When the wearer was killed, the human-skin robe would shed a layer of skin to take the fatal blow in the wearer's place, effectively functioning as a short-cooldown potent resurrection spell.

A dragon of this magnitude was even more formidable than a human Peak Realm master, so arrogance was only natural. Were it not for the aura of the Dragon Emperor carried upon him, such a human would have long since been ground into dust.

Su Muqiong walked forward unsteadily, reaching out to gently stroke the surface of the glass container. Children of Zard? No, they were not any children of Zard, nor did Su Muqiong hate them. Because these beings, along with the fetus in her womb, were all the insane sacrifices of that Zard—just like herself.

As midnight approached, most of the shops along the street had already closed their shutters, leaving only this store with its lights still on. Through the glass display window, the somewhat chaotic interior could be seen—traces of beverages on the floor, scattered sheets of paper marked with disorderly footprints, tilted shelves, and the disarrayed merchandise resting upon them.

Throughout junior high, she kept asking around about which school you were going to attend, then worked exceptionally hard until she finally managed to test into the same school as you. Yet you weren't placed in the same class, leaving her feeling somewhat disappointed.

Whatever she was told to do, she would execute it briskly and efficiently, never once uttering a reason for refusal. Consequently, I came to know far too many of her secrets—even down to her period, that most closely guarded secret of all.
