Chapter 18: The Assassin

Of course, he did not come empty-handed. Fifth Master even asked him to bring a gift. Though the gift was modest, it symbolized brotherhood—small in value but heavy in sentiment—especially with the Ninth Prince present.

This duel was initially planned as a single round of attack. If it achieved the desired effect, they would continue the fight; if not, they would retreat immediately. The timing and decision to attack or withdraw were entrusted to Old Tang.

Just as Ye Shanhe had said, Xia Haoran noticed many stalls inside the arena, each selling various items.

“Your father and your family have made great contributions to Hong Kong’s prosperity. Please convey my regards to your family,” McRae said without lingering, sending him out the door and having the butler see him off.

The battle had just ended when an exorcist appeared, intent on seizing May without distinction for questioning. At that moment, May, overwhelmed by fright, began to lose her amniotic fluid.

“He’s different. He usually doesn’t come here. How would I know he’d show up today? Besides, he wouldn’t just barge in,” Xing’er explained.

However, before Li Wen and Li Hu across the way, it was nothing more than bottles of “special mineral water.”

The Orange and Tangerine band had recently received several invitations for exchanges. After consulting Li Chen, Patton politely declined. It was surprising that these two Manchester rock enthusiasts had come knocking.

“It seems your mother really likes your wife. When you have time, bring her in to visit your mother more often,” said Fourth Master, his mood dampened at the mention.

Wu Ling’er smiled wryly and shook her head. “Sister Ke’er, I knew you would be obstinate. I advise you to abandon that wicked notion, or you will forever lose Big Brother’s trust and love. He is no fool; he’s sharper than anyone else.” Saying this, she turned and left, showing no intention of stopping Ming Ke.

This place was arranged by Shen Jing for Shen Qingming. It could easily accommodate several hundred people; more would just be a tight fit.

Before he finished cursing, reinforcements arrived. The Spiritual Sect had no choice but to use demonic cultivation methods. Though the leopard was not killed, the first attackers were eliminated.

She wished her father a long life. Drinking a cup of spiritual tea weekly would naturally make his health stronger.

How laughable—those involved had long forgotten the grudges, yet others clung to them, afraid to cross the line.

One was His Holiness of the Holy Church, the other Dr. Miley from the Supernatural Phenomena Research and Defense Agency.

At around fifty years old, breaking through to Spirit King rank—though Beihai City offered gratis, ten pills weren’t enough. Besides, the more solid the foundation, the better the breakthrough. With a bit of ambition, the timing was just right.

When trouble arose, everyone bore the burden together. Even the mighty Xu family would have to visit every household to settle accounts?

Though he spoke in defense of Di Ming outwardly, in truth, he confirmed Di Ming’s treacherous nature. This man’s intent was indeed sinister.

Because there were so many children, Lu Yunzheng couldn’t hold them all at once, so he crouched, holding three in his arms.

Just as Ma Chao finished speaking, suddenly a bullet whizzed over from a distance, striking one of Ma Chao’s ears.

Even a man would find it hard to strike himself; yet when she acted, there was not a hint of hesitation.

Zhang Hao’s combat power was beyond imagination. Without realizing it, Ji Yihui’s trust in Zhang Hao deepened immensely.

A richer fragrance spread unabashedly, like a breached dam, roaring fiercely in all directions, unstoppable.

Though she asked the question, she did not wait for Yun Shi’s reply, speaking instead, “He said: ‘We are born to walk this world once; regrets are many. But if we do not act, even regret will weigh heavy on the heart.’”

From rising to fame through the Battle for the Earthly Fiends ranking, then spreading his name as the prodigious slayer across Qinghuang, finally joining the Wasteland Palace, and reappearing not long after with strength that had reached an extraordinary level, he once again caused such a tremendous stir.

At this moment, not only did an intense stench emanate from the figure opposite, but an overwhelmingly powerful aura was also felt.

As for Tie Jianfei and the others, listening to the conversation between Emperor Jinlong and Senior Brother Lü, they were utterly baffled.

First, she was discovered by the Shaken royal family to be the name of a dead infant from the Yang family over twenty years ago. To be precise, she died shortly after birth.

The cultivation of fox spirits is linked to their tails; nine tails is ideal. But nine tails had not appeared for a long time. Now, the fox with the most tails was the six-tailed fox, the current Fox King.

When Old Xichuan suddenly raised his prosthetic leg, I thought there might be a mechanism, like his cane hiding a sword. But I never expected that his artificial limb concealed a specially made submachine gun.

In fact, not only Gan Quan Youjia was puzzled, even Lin Muhe did not quite understand why the ending had to be set that way when he first examined the pancreas.

Thinking this way, the inexplicable feelings of fondness and familiarity that had surfaced from the moment I entered were finally confirmed.

Upon hearing this, Lord Yuan San looked up with a plaintive glance, then buried his head in the gravel, pretending to be an ostrich.
