Volume 1, Chapter 26: Adding Insult to Injury!

In a flash of lightning and a spark of stone, Xiang Hao erupted. With a single breath transforming into ten thousand swords, chaotic sword light filled the heavens and the earth, striking out ferociously and permeating the entire area.

It would be one thing if it were those deeply hidden opponents, but how could he not see Tian Chongyun’s team anywhere? It was truly haunting.

Back when he was still in the territory, they had actually dragged him along for runs! They claimed it was good practice, saying that if they were ever attacked and defeated, at least they would have two legs to run away with.

"Blood Phoenix... how could you be in Huaxia?" Shan Yu’s throat moved slightly as she looked at Blood Phoenix, unable to believe her eyes.

The prerequisite for this battle was a surprise attack, which is why Huang Zhong did not arrange a formation; he only hoped to seize the city walls through sheer unexpectedness, after which the major objective would be secured.

Su Jin had suffered a sudden calamity last time, leaving her heart fragile and broken. This time, she had mustered a sliver of hope to come and help Fu Xi, but the constant slanders from the Burning Shadow Holy Sect caused her already fragile spirit to crumble in an instant.

He took the Peiyuan Vermilion Fruit because it was useful to him. Old Zhu deduced that the God of Liqiu must possess a physical body, most likely being some sort of extraordinary creature.

Fire Wolf was not on the fifth arena stage. To engage in a life-or-death duel with him, Old Zhu had to finish all the elimination rounds first.

It could be said that Fang Yi was incredibly daring—to describe him as having the courage to pierce the heavens would not be an exaggeration. If one lived their whole life in fear and submission, what would be the point?

The blacksmith had previously boasted that this piece of equipment was miraculous, yet it was completed in the blink of an eye.

Later, my cousin told me that the "beast in human clothing" had returned. Furthermore, Golden Sunshine was now ready; she had already found the waitstaff, greeters, and bartenders for me. Now, all it would take was a word from me, and we could pick a date to open for business immediately.

Zhou An gave Zhu Jie detailed instructions and allowed him only half an hour to prepare.

When Hua Tian saw Yue Tongfei, he noticed that Yue Tongfei’s expression was somewhat dull, as if he had no awareness of his previous actions at all.

Even though her own sister had encountered a ghost, why wasn't her older sister concerned? Instead, she was in the mood to tease her. Was she really her own flesh and blood?

"Until what date will the accommodation expenses be reimbursed? Also, regarding the round-trip airfare, please help me book the return flight to Werner!" Wu Fan handed the contract back and added.

Some of the old ministers were even skeptical, as if they had doubts. Including Li Guangshan and Jia Linbo, they all crowded around to look at it from a close distance.

Cheng Jiaxuan bit her lip, her heart filled with extreme resentment. Great Master Tongchan was an elder she deeply respected, and she felt the same grief over his desperate death. However, Li Yijie’s tone made it clear that he had decided she was the heartless murderer, and he was heaping accusations upon her.

The smile on the corner of his mouth was merely because he found it amusing to see a classmate make a fool of himself.

If someone were to betray their partner while claiming to love them, that person would be despised by everyone on the island, and they would never be able to hold their head up for the rest of their life.

Yet, there was no cruelty to be found in his gaze. His eyes were cold and devoid of any fluctuation; even if countless people were to die, or if he were to kill the tens of billions of people across the entire Heavenly Fortune Continent, he wouldn't blink or furrow his brow.

Song Yi and Gu Niu didn't hear the shouts of Chen Feng and the others from behind, but they did hear the gasps of Murong Silei and Dongfang Manqing calling for Jun Yao. From those two screams, they knew something had gone wrong.

Liu Qingcheng was not at all afraid of the matter being exposed, because he hadn't personally come forward to bribe those street idlers. He was quite confident that no matter how they investigated, they would never be able to trace it back to him.

Just because of her attitude and her inability to distinguish right from wrong, he had the authority to fire her on the spot.

More and more sword masters, drawn by its reputation, joined the Star-Plucking Mansion. The work of the Internal Affairs Hall was temporarily turned over to Xuan Tiandu and the other two to manage.

Over a hundred people were wiped out so easily; it was truly simpler than what Jun Yao and his team had to do. Although they were a killer squad and mercenaries, they dared not be associated with a terrorist organization. Jun Yao revealed a victorious smile—this move had been the right one.

A young servant, perhaps no more than twelve or thirteen, perhaps emboldened by the courage of a "newborn calf," actually used a stalk of dwarf bamboo as cover to stare fixedly at his master, who was standing a dozen paces away, gradually falling into a state of dumbstruck amazement.

As the two poured their true energy into it, the cracks on the egg grew larger, and the temperature in the room rose higher and higher.

By then, they would all be elites; looking at them, they were clearly people who had spent a lot of time in the underworld. These people carried an aura of grim killing intent; they were likely tough nuts to crack, where one was worth two.

"Hand over the ranking! Don't make me say it a second time!" Feng Yunyao’s lips parted slightly as she spoke in a cold voice.

One must kill a commander-level undead in a single blow; otherwise, these cunning monsters would hide back in the undead tide to heal, only to return once they had regained their strength. The trouble they would bring then would be far from minor.

In other words, was it highly likely that only this guy’s soul had come over, while his main body remained in Mary Geoise?

"Painted by the God Venerable, no one in the world can surpass it!" It wasn't that she was flattering him—and besides, the God Venerable wasn't a horse. The God Venerable’s paintings were, in her opinion, the most beautiful in the world; they were alive.

Seeing this, Qiangzi, who had been waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward, only to involuntarily shiver.

"It’s them. One of Iris’s abilities is disguise. And it’s one that even the Apostles cannot distinguish from the real thing. These two Apostles must be them in disguise," Gaste explained.

A thousand years ago, seeing Luo She reject the Buddhist path, Tang Baiju still held regrets. A thousand years later, he did not want to see his benefactor also reject the Buddhist path.

Pop! The full moon that had been solid in the high heavens actually began to twist. Ripples undulated through the surrounding void, as if the painting itself were about to shatter.
