Volume 1, Chapter 66: You Lunatic

Jiang Hao laughed without looking back, the rebuke and mockery in his tone unmistakably clear.

At the mention of a bomb, Lynn's heart tightened slightly. This fellow really spoke without thinking; wasn't he afraid that nearby people would take him seriously and report him to the military? Or was he simply so accustomed to making such wild boasts that his neighbors had long since grown used to it?

Clearly, given Fang Yichen, she had no chance of catching him; and with Nuanuan's claws moving slower than a cat's, it was impossible for her to scratch him.

Deputy Commander Chen was a veteran of the Fourth Division. The former Fourth Brigade and the current Fourth Division were built entirely by his own hands, and the officers and soldiers were cultivated by him as well. Many of the fallen and wounded soldiers were people he knew—old comrades with whom he had shared meals from the same pot. Such heavy casualties among them cut Deputy Commander Chen to the quick.

She truly was his nominal fiancée. Although this engagement had been arranged arbitrarily by his family without his input, he felt no particular aversion to it.

"Ahem, ahem!" Qin Ge coughed twice into the microphone, and the people on the street instantly quieted down, exchanging only whispered discussions in very low voices.

With much difficulty, having finally reached a spot not far from the club entrance, Fang Yichen set Wang Xiaohan down.

Leopard hesitated for a moment before asking. Given that he currently had a protection assignment and could not leave his post, he would have to wait until he had free time to undergo treatment.

Faint sounds of commotion still drifted from within the city—likely Count Tilly's soldiers still struggling to restore order. When a sudden cry of alarm echoed from nearby, Liu Mang snapped back to awareness. Knowing that soldiers' emotions were bound to get out of hand under such circumstances, he ordered the Count to have his men withdraw from those streets first.

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the Japanese people would harbor such thoughts. Had his spiritual power not still been somewhat lacking, Jiang Hao would even have been willing to seek out the Japanese proactively, letting them abduct him to their headquarters so that he could unleash a slaughter.

Hanging on the spirit screen by the entrance of my house is a bronze mirror and a long sword—these are items I specifically invited to ward off evil spirits and protect the residence.

"Well now! President Zheng, there is no need to be in such a hurry. As for this illness of yours, I still need to make some preparations. You can go ahead and start investigating the matter of the goods together with our President Tang! Once I am all prepared here, I will begin your treatment," Wu Xie said.

"What else could he be doing? He must have embezzled a huge chunk of the money. Damn it, having worked under him for so many years, we did all the dirty work while he swallowed all the benefits," another kidnapper said with bitter resentment.

Last time, Wang Jin had secretly channeled the lightning within his body, but this time he was directly drawing upon the ambient thunder forces nearby, making the difference in power vastly greater.

In an instant, a series of cracks appeared on the ground, and thick vines burst forth from beneath the earth. Before the undead could even react, it was bound tightly into the shape of a rice dumpling, without a single gap left. The undead struggled fiercely, attempting to break free from the vines, but to no avail.

Ye Du slowly walked inside. As for Yuan Mu, he naturally had to take the back door—not just anyone could walk through the front door at a moment's notice; did they think this place was deserted?

"Order! In the second half of tonight, once the fog rises, launch an all-out assault across the trench!" Tianniu Shangqing issued his combat orders to various commanding officers in the council hall.

"Clap, clap, clap." Slow yet rhythmic applause broke out abruptly across the battlefield. The scattered troops immediately parted a path as the six different-surnamed vassal lords of the Da Feng Dynasty arrived together, surrounded by their guards.

The moment he touched the grand array enveloping the holy pool, he immediately felt the formation give a slight tremor, as if it had detected Qin Hao's intrusion.

Fang Guixian and Pan Weizhen both shook their heads, speaking in unison: "A country cannot go a day without a ruler, and a home cannot go a day without a master. Besides, relying on everyone is not a long-term solution. It will be decades before the child in the womb grows up to take charge, so this simply won't work."

Tu Fei pressed his lips together and said, "You only know after you fight. The first time I heard his understanding of spells and Qi circulation at Shiquan Villa, I felt his insights were unique and his mode of thinking very novel. I just didn't expect him to harbor such skill."

It was just that, being part of the Dark Palace, they could not easily appear in the public eye; thus, on today's occasion, it was inconvenient for them to show themselves.

"Master, taking me on as a disciple isn't a bad deal for you, is it? My younger sister is the best in the world." Su Hongwu hugged his sister, and then hugged Su Hongyuan.

A bad premonition arose in Cao Jingyan's heart. He abruptly sat up and swept the area with his divine sense, finding no one within the range of his perception. His gaze fell upon the table, and with a wave of his hand, he drew the letter paper into his grip.

These people were eager to dig up his ancestors down to the eighteenth generation just to figure out how on earth he had managed to produce such a massive sum of money.

Mother Wei replied, "Since you are new here and unfamiliar with things, very well, I shall go prepare the bathwater for you. What about a change of clothes?"

Yet Yue Fei knew that when Bianliang was in peril, it was Ye Xiaoshendu who personally stepped in; and when Taiyuan was in danger, it was also Ye Xiao who relieved the siege with his own hands.

He felt that Zhang Lingfeng's saber technique not only carried a soul-stirring murderous intent, but the technique itself also bore a bizarre aura.

The pride of being a high-born socialite did not allow her to meddle in other people's relationships, nor did it allow her to snatch someone else's love away and become the very person she detested most.

Weiwei thought to herself that perhaps it was because the Profound Moon Wolf King had once looked after her—and not just once—that this lifesaving grace had instantly and firmly captivated a person's heart. No matter what, even the most ruthless heart would harbor a ripple stirred deeply to life.

Originally, Chen Wanying's target was Li Junze, but after the nocturnal reconnoiter, Chen Wanying knew that path was a dead end. Thus, she had no choice but to cast her gaze back onto Gu Chenfeng, who happened to be the best catch she could secure at present.
