22 Roses for Dio (22)

Ever since Guo Laosan sacrificed himself, Li Ziyuan had set his sights on this fellow. However, the logistics minister of the sub-district, who managed the arsenal, refused to let him go no matter what, which had been a thorn in Li Ziyuan’s side ever since. With this current outside operation, Li Ziyuan finally found an excuse to shamelessly demand the man.

The wedding should have been Liao Fan’s main event, but as Liao Fan got drunk, it turned into a showcase for Chairman Chiang and Chairman Meow! Of course, Liao Jundong presided over the ceremony until the very last guest had been seen off.

Chisidis, who had turned the maze competition upside down single-handedly, was reportedly killed by Elder Dante himself after her defection. Of course, the killing was only a rumor, but Elder Dante had certainly intervened; no one knew what ultimately became of Chisidis.

The Yang Envoy slashed out several God-Slaying Tribulations, all of which Li Tianyou dodged. His arms bulged instantly as he channeled his true energy continuously into the great sword in his hand.

He also reorganized the remnants of the Yizi Advance Force—which had been responsible for capturing the Eighth Route Army headquarters but had been crippled by Li Ziyuan’s sudden interference—by supplementing them with parts of the puppet Changzhi and Hubei plainclothes squads he had brought, as well as half a squadron from the division’s reconnaissance regiment, effectively restoring the Yizi unit’s structure.

As the Qin Spirit spoke, her laughter became increasingly ferocious and piercing, as if the outcome had already been calculated long ago.

However, those who understood the Taihang Mountains knew that Huang Changsheng’s status there was not low. Although the troops under his command were not as numerous as those of the four group armies, he could be said to be second only to one and above ten thousand throughout the Taihang Mountains, holding a pivotal position.

After all, the situation on the entire North China battlefield was no longer what it had been when the Eighth Route Army moved eastward into the enemy’s rear. The entire puppet army system was not only fully established, but the density of puppet regimes was also quite high. The Japanese and puppet forces were no longer the blind and deaf fools they once were; they were now sharp-eyed and well-informed in occupied territories.

Seeing Ding Huo continuously destroy various magic-guided weapons in the inner palace and easily finish off the magic puppets summoned by the Blood Altar, the high-ranking alchemist judged that Ding Huo’s attack power had already reached legendary status.

Fortunately, she had handled them with care when she first brought them into the room; otherwise, several of the eggs would have been crushed.

It was just that, within the entire Taoist temple, he was the final line of defense, not to be deployed unless absolutely necessary.

Han Feng pondered for a while and decided that his own physique was good enough to endure it, so he chose to fight his way through the palaces one by one.

After sending the corpses of the three women back and bidding farewell to their families, it would suffice to have Ruan Yun instruct their families to find someone to perform the rites for their souls.

It was like a giant thunder dragon hiding in space, suddenly shattering the blockade and appearing abruptly, catching everyone off guard.

The thunder had ceased, and the rain outside was falling even harder. The cave was kept dry and cozy by the fire, making it feel all the more tranquil and peaceful. After finishing the chicken, Shao Luo leaned against the wall to close her eyes and rest, but Luo Jin could not sit still.

This time, the Zhao woman was completely infuriated by Murong Yue. She raised her hand with all her might to strike Murong Yue’s face, but to her surprise, Murong Yue dodged to the side just as the blow was about to land.

It was unexpected that in just a month or two, Murong Yue had been reborn, becoming so different from when she was first met.

"Can you be this rude just because you have no father or mother? There are plenty of children in this world without parents; why can others be so polite while she cannot?" Aunt Liu felt no sympathy for this excuse and was instead even more indignant.

Inside Zheng Chenggong’s body, golden blood had miraculously formed, condensing into an extra bone in his chest.

Of course, even if one wanted to meddle in other people’s business, in a society that could hardly be called law-abiding, it was better to play deaf and dumb.

The sound ceased abruptly after reaching a critical threshold, and immediately following it, Shalltear also seemed to lose consciousness, her head tilting to the side as she fainted.

He went directly to the main hall to see the Chongzhen Emperor. The Emperor’s expression was much more haggard, the immense pressure nearly crushing him. The good mood from the pacification of the southeast days ago had been swept away; without the need for a psychological expert, even Qin Hao could see that the Emperor’s current state was clearly abnormal.

Perhaps this first appearance of a side-quest hidden mission was the new content from this system update?

Baris’s spell took effect behind Isaac. Several magic vines with sharp teeth burst from the ground and coiled toward him.

The pouring rain did not disturb the refined interests of the four lazybones who refused to step outside. After all, for a game like carriage chess, one did not need to go outdoors; a table in the room was sufficient.

"Miss Ming, why not give up today? We will stick to what we agreed upon: you behave and become my concubine, and I will redeem your sister. This way, neither of you will have to die, and you can both serve me. Isn't that better?" Lin Xiuran said.

With winds and clouds gathering from all directions, Lin Xiuran nonchalantly began his series of acts of showing off and slapping faces.

At the same time, he activated the "Undying Body" mode. In this mode, even in the midst of thousands of troops, no one could harm him in the slightest, but by the same token, he could not hurt a single hair on anyone else’s head, nor could he even crush an ant.

"Imo, give me a straight answer, can you be back in a month?" Hou Xuan looked at Imo pitifully.

"Grandma, it’s my fault. I’m at a friend’s house. Because there are reasons for this, I need to explain it in person." Mo Mo felt quite guilty; she realized that what her grandmother was worried about was actually her.

"Hey, Li Xin, why are you being so polite to him? We aren’t prisoners; what right do they have to make us do this and that?" After Li Dui and his men left the hall, Huang Xin couldn’t help but ask while looking at Li Xin.

"How, how did you know their fatal weakness was in the chest?" Bo Long trembled as he spoke.

It turned out that when many people’s names appeared at Duhu Bay that day, Hua Shiren knew it couldn’t be a coincidence; there must be something sinister at play. Thus, he invited three sorcerers—the so-called ghost-catching masters.
