The initial joy and nervousness turned into humiliation and resentment upon seeing the four people seated at the table. Once the Great Dao of Time is unleashed, even Quasi-Sages will wither before it. There is no longer any need to gamble on the ethereal, one-hit-kill chance of the Instant Shadow Assassination to deal with a Quasi-Sage, even if that technique is indeed heaven-defying.
Her acting skills in faking tears were truly masterful; most actresses online today could not cry as pitifully or evoke as much empathy as she did. She did not notice that Dongfang Tuo had been secretly following her all along; perhaps her distraught appearance over Yuexia’s affairs had aroused his suspicion.
At this moment, the vote counts for Lin Qian’er and Sheng Xinmei were neck and neck, both in the range of 80 million. Watching Liu Ning’s hand, burning with intense flames, draw ever closer, Zhou Jiayu was so terrified she nearly collapsed to the ground. Her lips trembled as she tried to utter words of surrender, but she could not bring them out.
Li Xiaoxuan coming to Earth this time was a last resort for her mother; she had to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive, gambling on the prophecy regardless of whether it was accurate or not. Meanwhile, some special spirit beasts with cultivation slowly approached. The birds that had been chirping incessantly fell silent upon reaching the plaza where the competition was held, their expressions showing a human-like reverence.
Excluding the Prime Demon mother, if one were to look beneath the rock layers of the entire island, one would discover that the area surrounding the Spirit Abyss Canyon had already been hollowed out into tunnels, and these tunnels were trending toward expansion across the entire island. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Yang Tianhua’s light cavalry had their throats severed, becoming headless mechs. She simply sat in the chair, her hand, once used for scalpels, handling the knife and fork with the same precision.
Lin Ke looked at the note on the paper and asked anxiously, “Angel, don’t go! Where are you going?” But there was no response. Mu Yuncheng’s eyes were tightly shut; unable to struggle any longer, he could only pray in silence for the heavens to send someone to save him.
Seeing Ming Fei’s determined expression, as if to say her task was complete, Lin Ke unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her. Ming Fei didn’t say a word, taking the water and gulping it down in one go; she looked exhausted. The trembling roar of the Sangorozem Volcano made them subconsciously think of the devastating lava of the past, causing their once-unstoppable momentum to be clearly suppressed, turning hesitant and cautious.

Of course not; I read that in the script, but I couldn’t say that, so I just nodded. Chang Yi stopped at the door without looking back. “I’ll go buy a bottle.” With that, he walked straight out, leaving Kong Yixian no chance to stop him. Seeing those two faces, five parts similar, placed before me, there was truly an inexplicable impact.
Lin Ke had wanted to take advantage of the darkness to pull Angel and run away, but Angel was controlled by this devil with the mesmerizing gaze—what was to be done? Jade Emperor Consort was knocked to the ground by my flash of light; Bai Jinghong went over to help her up. Jade did not look well, but she kept her head down, finding it inconvenient to speak first.
Following his shout, the Buddha light surged from the body of the Medicine Master Buddha, the teacher of the Eastern Glazed World, while the ancient Lamp-Lighting Buddha and the future Maitreya Buddha were also enveloped in Buddha light. Li Fan murmured, and the aura on his body began to grow frantically, eventually becoming even stronger than when he fought Li Chen, faintly catching up to the early-stage Nascent Soul aura Li Xu had just displayed.
“Your high school classmate? Is he only in his early twenties? To be a teaching assistant in his early twenties, how outstanding!” Lin Xi laughed. Seeing the Golden Silkworm Gu King with such an appetite for the first time, Shangguan Kangning happily grabbed a few more Gu insects and simply threw them all in front of it.
“Many thanks for your kindness. I will give you an answer within two hundred years. I only wonder if the news about the person coming out of the Burial Demon Abyss is true? Where is he now?” Old Seven asked, his expression softening after putting away the sound transmission talisman.
However, much to Tai Xuan’s surprise, Qi Suming was not injured—or rather, he had sustained no major damage. The city of Chaisang relied on water to the north, bordered Mount Lu to the south, and connected to Lake Pengli (Poyang Lake) to the east; it was the strategic fortress for entering Jiangdong from Jingzhou. Old Ba actually knew the second manager of the Wanbao Auction House; he was definitely a remarkable bigwig. In truth, Yi Tian was also curious: the fat man said the training there was extremely rigorous and consumed a lot of energy, so why couldn’t he lose weight?
“If that’s the case, Lanlan, you should look into the situation over there carefully; arrange both the lodging and the travel.” Jiang Tao said.

Following this came the part where Silko kidnaps Vander, Vi and the others go deep into the abandoned factory to rescue him, and Jinx unleashes her might. If she showed even a hint of sadness or grief, it would only make Cheng Lei feel more guilty and unable to let the matter go.
Qin Luoxi was adept at social situations and, quite pleased, hooked her arm through Chen Shuang’s, smiling sweetly. The pilot turned the helicopter in a large circle, confirming that there wasn’t even a single lifeboat, let alone the Haynes, in sight. Seeing this, she no longer fretted over how to deal with Wang Ming and answered casually, “As you wish.” After saying this, she walked to the platform in the middle of the courtyard.
It was as if he had been thrown into molten gold; his body was coated in a layer of pure gold casing. “That’s fine. I have to report on my work tomorrow; you can just come with me.” General Hong nodded and looked up at the sky, noticing several black dots appearing in the distance.
But remembering Chen Shuang and the predatory Song Changning, if Qin Luoxi agreed to Gu Yanzhi now, things would likely become very complicated. Who exactly was trying to harm her? Qin Luoxi didn’t believe she had no grievances with Xie Changyan, yet he insisted on harming her; without much thought, she guessed it was Song Changning.
Luo Xin ignored the insults from this vocational school top student and continued to gaze at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. Mei Wei smiled gently and said, “That’s better!” She withdrew the whip and wrapped it around her waist again.
