Volume One, Chapter 34: Little Imperial Uncle, I’m Afraid I’ll Have to Trouble You for a Moment

Furthermore, Li Cunwo had been specifically dispatched by Li Cunxu, representing the very face of the ruler. For Li Jineng and his cohorts to attempt to kill him was no different from open rebellion.

Helian Tu, unsure of his opponent's background, felt uneasy but still shouted sternly, "Who on earth are you?" The young man did not reply; his dual swords whistled through the air with ingenious technique as he engaged Helian Tu in combat.

To say that Wang Chen was not nervous facing Luo Quankun would be a lie; his heartbeat quickened noticeably as Luo drew nearer.

The Rose Bar was not considered a large establishment in Nanjing, yet it was crowded, filled with neon lights, hazy smoke, and a cacophony of music and shouting. Gao Yuan, who rarely frequented such places, felt dizzy and found it strange that someone as steady as Xu Fei would come here.

Yellow Springs Holy Water was a sacred object to the Hellfire faction, a name that struck terror into their hearts. Many powerful figures in the ancient martial arts circles had suffered at its hands and perished.

Zhong Ling gave a cold snort as a flame darted toward Zhai Yuping. Watching the fire, Qiu Yu let out a sharp cry, "You are a lunatic!" With a flash of green light, she darted toward the window.

If treated well, the spirit would bless the fated person from beyond the grave; if the fated person cared nothing for it, they were still urged to spare its life and grant it freedom in return for its gift.

Faced with such a scene, even Lu Yu, who had watched countless action films on Earth and possessed a wealth of theoretical knowledge, felt his nose on the verge of bleeding.

Wang Chen’s purpose in approaching Zalack was to secure further clues, as he knew Zalack was likely but one point in a web of conspiracies—perhaps merely the starting point. To reach the end, he had to begin here; as for whether he could leap forward later, that would depend on the course of events.

"Alas, there are simply too many people coming this time. Research departments from across the country are sending representatives. The higher-ups wanted to provide transport, but they lack the manpower, so we have to go ourselves," Old Guan explained, fearing Qin Fei might mind.

As one of the great superpowers, the Demon Blade Sect was now reduced to only its five elders—the only five Heaven-level masters left. Beyond them, there were no others of such standing.

Furthermore, many sub-dragons with poor talent realized that cultivation was a waste of time, so they simply ceased their efforts.

Rong Fanchen soared into the air, slashing with his Crimson Light Sword. The blow struck the black giant beast’s scales, erupting with terrifying black demonic energy that swept through the entire mountain forest like a tidal wave.

Her most formidable technique was the Sorrow of Silver Fire, which had never failed her in past battles. Exchanging a glance with Old Master Fu, the two decided to launch a joint attack.

Seeing the old Taoist rashly walking toward the dragon, Jiang Shou felt no rush. He was confident he could kill the man and seize the inner core, yet he dared not underestimate the dragon’s intelligence.

At the same moment, Pei Ji, leader of the Sword Lake Palace, and other righteous masters of the Shattering Realm, along with demonic masters such as Lu Wanjun, Ding Wanchou, and Di Wuhei, faintly surrounded Ning Que.

Longevity Breath was a celestial treasure, releasing soft, ethereal energy that enveloped Rong Fanchen, shielding him from the violent magma of the outside world.

Upon returning to the dormitory, Zhao Erxi stared at Bei Weiwei with a strange expression. Bei Weiwei grew alert immediately; she knew Erxi had plenty of questions, and judging by that look, she had been suppressing them for a long time. The longer the suppression, the more explosive the release would be. She decided to surrender to interrogation immediately.

I had already guessed the general situation: Boss Zhou had discovered the door to the secret chamber but could not retrieve the items inside. This was baffling; the door had been found and opened, and the treasures were hidden within, so why was he unable to enter and take them?

This was truly exaggerated. Even the substitute players who had been clamoring earlier were now excited; one had to be a master to execute a kick from that angle.

To Ru Dan, the more sincere Bu Feng appeared, the more disgusted he felt. It was this man who had ruined all his hopes.

"I only know he is an administrator at your club. How would I know what specific position he holds within the group or what important information he might possess?"

Shen Duo looked at me after I said this, his gaze so cold and thin that it sent a numbness from the soles of my feet to my scalp.

Some soldiers began to retch. Qin Yuan found the sound amusing; who was it that had been self-righteously claiming they wouldn't vomit just moments ago? Still, it was a normal physiological reaction, given the close proximity to death.

Sosie, who had been leaning closer to cooperate with him, paused in surprise before laughing softly, pouring herself a glass of Green Cherry wine and sipping it with her red lips.

With a helpless roll, she leaned her back against the volcanic rock. As a member of the Dark Elf race, she possessed immense flexibility; a split was effortless for her.

Now that Yu Zie was with him, he no longer had such concerns and parked the starship directly in front of the pill workshop.

Yang Lei, hearing this, stood dumbfounded. While climbing up exterior walls was not a particularly advanced skill for people like them, the situation was different.

Lian Feihua clearly intended to say more, but in the next instant, Chen Xin’s figure flickered and vanished from sight. When he reappeared, he was already right in front of Lian Feihua, staring him down.
