However, the opportunities for the man in the black robe came ever more swiftly. At this moment, he had been chosen by the most powerful active force in his realm to travel to the Qili Realm, locate the Lone Shadow, seize control of this world, and eliminate any anomalies standing in the way of their grand crusade of aggression.
Li Qiang gained a deeper understanding of the practical utility of his current techniques in high-intensity confrontations.
"White Eagle, which pig trotter do you prefer?" Shaoyan asked the White Eagle directly, ignoring the Eight-Treasure Cloud Pig.
Wos grinned and said, "What’s the rush? The path is right here." As he spoke, he pushed aside a patch of overgrown weeds, revealing a pitch-black cave entrance tucked into a crevice in the cliff behind the thicket.
Xia Lin chased after them, crying and pleading, and though many people nearby tried to help her, four-wheeled vehicles were a rarity in their town; even if she pursued them on a tractor, she could never catch up.
The Muscle Refining Formula, the Tendon Refining Formula, the Bone Refining Formula... one set of techniques after another unfolded under Li Qiang’s command. Waves of invigorating sensations coursed through his body, continuously repairing the flaws caused by his time in the NBA professional league.
In truth, the pollution brought to Earth by the industrial age was not the primary reason for the dwindling spiritual energy. Yes, it was a contributing factor, but the real cause lay in the closure of the celestial-mortal gateway between Earth and the vast Desolate Flood Continent.
I examined his appearance carefully, but there was truly nothing unusual about him. This only left my mind in further chaos, as I had no idea how to explain it.
Feeling groggy, I sensed my eyes aching and my mouth parched and uncomfortable, and I wanted to get up to find a drink of water.
"So, do you need us to provide cover? But since we’ve come, we can’t just let you handle it alone; some of us must accompany you," Liu Shengqiang said.
A sudden, giggling laughter echoed in my ears. When I looked around, everything was pitch black, and I could see nothing.
The clash between the two shocked the upper echelon of the Pantheon. They watched in awe as a mid-air battle, something only seen in early-era martial arts dramas of the Heavenly Dynasty, unfolded right before their eyes.

I leaned against Han Zhenghuan to sleep for a while longer, and when the sun rose, he led us out of the room with a bold, unhurried stride.
"Lone Peak, do you think that by ascending to the rank of Supreme, you can do whatever you want in the seas? I have come here today specifically for you!" Supreme Qingtian looked at Lone Peak with disdain.
"Hey, Yan You, are you even listening to me? Hello?..." Yan You remained silent, then hung up the phone. She didn’t know what to say; for two hearts drifting apart, who was right and who was wrong no longer mattered.
When I heard how precious this thing was, I hurriedly tried to slide it off my hand to return it, but after moving it only a centimeter, Huo Jidu pressed his thumb firmly against the web of my hand.
Han Zhenghuan’s body was indeed lying in the coffin, but upon closer inspection, it looked different from the one I had encountered before.
My heart tightened, and as I looked toward that direction, I saw three eyes in the sky, lined up, staring directly at me.
In the living room, bathed in harsh, white light, Shen Nao sat slumped in the sofa with his eyes closed, a cake with a lit candle sitting on the coffee table.
In a daze, my body felt immobilized, and something surged into me. I frowned deeply, feeling an excruciating pain in my waist and abdomen.
Having made her decision, Meng Xuange did not delay. She left a voice message for Xu Qishang, then grabbed her sword and headed down the mountain.
He believed his maneuvering had been masterful, but because Chen Tiantian had died too early, he hadn't received any healing at all.
Liu Yan was stunned by Bai Hanyuan’s words. Her eyes went vacant, and her hands stopped moving. After a long while, she closed her eyes, tears spilling like a trickling stream from the corners of her eyes. With a sniff, the tears turned into a flood, and she collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.
A man so cold and aloof was now speaking to her in such a pleading tone.

"My Yan family is known for diamonds in this city. This kind of meticulous work has become a habit for our family." Chu Nian took a burning candle from a table nearby.
Having said that, she tossed the lantern in her other hand and raised her hand, sharp as an eagle’s claw, to strike at Bai Hanyuan’s heart. Bai Hanyuan felt no fear; she smiled and slowly closed her eyes. With death drawing near, she found herself vaguely looking forward to it.
Just then, Ling Leng-hong led dozens of deacons to the street. As they stepped into this area, the scene changed instantly, transforming into a dead end.
Mo Bai watched as blood slowly flowed from the eyes of the White Impermanence, and realizing a crisis was unfolding, he immediately retreated.
"Why not? But there is no need for a heavy reward; as long as you, Old Xun, can help me clear my name, that would be enough." Xiao Mo’s expression turned solemn.
Ming Luo’s arrival undoubtedly brought a massive surge of popularity to Lin Han’s livestream, pushing the heat index significantly higher.
Joel turned to look at Nathan, who was calmly taking a sip of water. He coughed to get Nathan’s attention, then quietly signaled with his hands.
"Are you an idiot? I told you not to show your figure at the window, and yet you just walked out in plain sight!" Luo Yu, hiding from a higher vantage point, rolled her eyes.
"Haha, a person of strength cannot suffer in silence. He didn’t have the eyes to see; that is no fault of yours, my friend," the middle-aged man laughed.
On a normal day, starting a fire to burn a mountain would take quite some time before it really took hold. Sometimes, if the leaves were damp, the fire would even fail to start. But this fire oil today was truly formidable.
