Volume 1, Chapter 36: Overpowering Force Repels the Mad Demon!

Several small demons of the Bian clan flew in from the four corners, crossing paths precisely in midair, thus enclosing Zhao Fusheng within their net.

Gradually, the gray mist began to dissipate, and a figure no taller than five feet descended from the sky.

Though humanoid in shape, its head was disproportionately large compared to its small body. Its face was rough and pockmarked like kneaded dough, with narrow, slitted eyes that appeared murky and unfocused.

Particularly notable were the two bushy whiskers curling downward, giving it an indescribable air of slyness and sleaziness.

First, they found an iron plate, then spread a mixture of pine resin, grease, and paper ash atop it.

At first, sweat poured down, but after walking six or seven kilometers, the body ceased to perspire, for all moisture within had been depleted.

In an instant, the group of nine soared into the air, no longer fearing the Yunxin Mountain Range, and swiftly flew toward Hualong City. Naturally, Zhang Feng and Bi Xue flew alongside Shao Hua and Hua Li, respectively.

The Baochan Temple was originally inhabited solely by those detached from worldly affairs, who rarely involved themselves in secular matters. Yet, to propagate their teachings and attract followers, they reluctantly engaged in martial conflicts. Still, such violence conflicted with Buddhist principles, so after careful consideration, Baochan Temple established a secular courtyard.

However, Su You was disappointed. During the continuous descent, he observed for a long time and saw many plants, yet none of the trunks were sturdy enough to support him as he had hoped.

Without hesitation, Jin Yun took Zhang Feng and, together with Xu Ning, transformed into streaks of light, vanishing into the horizon.

“Fine, fine, if you won’t care, then I won’t either. Don’t think I’m eager to bother with you,” muttered Piaowuzong with dissatisfaction.

The snow intensified once more, carrying a chill that seemed intent on freezing everything. Among the flakes, a more bitter taste lingered.

All thirteen were violently shaken simultaneously. To preserve their strength and avoid injury, they instinctively retreated rather than seizing the opportunity to kill Zhang Ye.

Ma Jianyao’s calm and steady voice steadied Yu Xin somewhat, though she knew he was merely trying to comfort her.

Ah Sheng pointed at the pile of skulls: “If I hadn’t come, you would have become a demon on the spot.” Each one was a constant source of worry.

All the people in those forums had been registered less than a month ago, possibly very recently.

Yamamoto Shigekuni truly had grounds for pride. After all, a thousand years ago, his Bankai, the Scorching Fire Blade, had not yet reached its true mastery, and it was incomparable to its current state.

Upon hearing Wu Yue’s analysis, Ichigo was shocked and alarmed. Without hesitation, he immediately sprinted home. However, just as he took his first step, Wu Yue grabbed his wrist.

Li Changqiu’s words confirmed Luo Tianhuan’s suspicion: the bastard’s buff had been too powerful, causing his own healing to go offline.

Sui’er and Ye San bickered as they walked farther apart, while the guards lurking in the shadows retreated some distance.

Thus, when Cao De left, regret weighed heavily on him; he looked back at every step, leaving a trail of bloody footprints.

Yet, as with all prior incidents, Ye Zhenhua’s refusal to take her side deeply displeased her. Pointing at him, she cursed him and his entire ancestry without mercy, utterly ignoring that she was also among those people.

After watching shows for so many years, the audience had never witnessed one so charged with tension. They unanimously believed that the designer competition would become even more captivating in the time remaining.

Perhaps this was why she loved painting so dearly: to manifest all the beauty she saw with her eyes and imagined in her heart onto paper. She recorded the splendor of nature and humanity in her own way.

Wen Zhiyi did not understand her meaning; such occurrences had never arisen in the embroidery contest before. Nevertheless, she did not question when an official brought a piece of white silk.

Because Qin Lu was with her and they could not fly over, the two took a taxi to the University of Southern California.

As for what Zihan realized, it was the pursuit of Zhang Tian, striving to make him submit beneath her skirts.

“I understand. It’s getting late now; it’s time to go.” Bei Lan came to Ye with a calm expression, though her eyes betrayed a deep vexation. Releasing Chun Ying’s arm, she headed toward the stream’s mouth.

She slowly turned around, unexpectedly having her right hand firmly grasped by the man. The strength shifted from rigid to gentle, passing through a transitional phase.

Among the three, a young man was caught completely unprepared. He was kicked hard in the stomach, sent flying several meters, rolling painfully on the ground.

But it was no ordinary artificial intelligence, because most AIs were bound by source code and spoke in a monotonous tone, like Siri on certain smartphones.

Everyone in the Sancai Tower was devoted to studying formation diagrams, indifferent to material indulgence.

Speaking thus, Jiang Buyun chuckled, pulling a warm steamed bun with egg from his coat pocket.

At this moment, not only Mori Ichio was emotionally stirred, but even Takeda Nakano in the back row could not calm himself.

Lei sighed upon hearing Mike’s words, turning his gaze to the Blackwater mercenaries resting nearby, his eyes flickering with an inscrutable meaning.

“Junior brother, don’t be angry. I just met him at the inn where disciples rest. He came hastily due to urgency. Had the young hero not encountered obstacles en route, he would have appeared by now!” Situ Feng declared firmly.

After they all left, Lei returned alone to Long Ze Meiji’s bedside, smoking quietly while watching her.

Suddenly, he lunged forward, grabbing Yun Weiyang’s wrist. With a stride, the two had already returned to the inner hall of XuI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
