Chapter 32

Shen Miaomiao had originally intended to stay, hoping to offer Xie Tao some advice. However, seeing the state Xie Tao was in, she realized it would likely fall on deaf ears, so she reluctantly followed Li Sinian away.

"Zhou Xiao is planning to pay for your life. I haven't been able to dig up the specific details yet, so keep your guard up these next few days." It was Sun Wei on the phone, giving me his instructions.

Upon hearing this, Hu Lina immediately smoothed the sullen expression from her face and offered Zhao Haibo a ingratiating smile.

What nearly infuriated us on the spot was that the very crowd who had been cheering for us and urging us to kill Tang Zhenwei turned to malicious slander the moment Ye Zi and I were defeated and forced to leave.

Tang Yan worried for her eldest brother; it was clear as day! Her brother loved Qiao Xia more, while Qiao Xia's feelings seemed lukewarm at best.

The concentrations of ether and scopolamine were low; purification was no easy task in this era, so Han Wanling must have gone to great lengths to acquire them.

Back in the Heavenly Court, she had never experienced winter. The seasons were like spring all year round, and wearing only her immortal robes, she never felt the cold.

To avoid the two volleys of hidden weapons, Shui Lingyue leapt into the air. With no room to maneuver in mid-flight, two more projectiles came streaking toward her, and there was absolutely no way for her to dodge them.

It was obvious that Li Dage said what he did because he sensed that Night Eagle did not entirely trust him.

On that August night, the chirping of insects from the courtyard drifted in through the window, making the night feel even more tranquil and profound.

Geng Yu'er stared at Xie Wuyi blankly for a long moment before finally taking the warm tea he offered. It was the perfect temperature for relaxation. Geng Yu'er's eyes crinkled into crescent moons, and she nodded at Xie Wuyi with a smile.

The large courtyard in front of the Xia family mansion had been cleared of space to serve as the arena for this sparring match.

After the morning assembly, Aldrich rushed to see Xiao Wei to report the events one by one. Xiao Wei never said a word, listening quietly until Aldrich finished and departed in silence.

The Super Brain's words shocked Zhuo Nan. Could this simple crash-course combat technique actually be a martial arts manual from the Longhua Galaxy? He was kidding himself—could there really be such a bargain in the world?

They wore themselves to the bone, forgetting sleep and food, all for the sake of passing the imperial examinations, bringing glory to their ancestors, and rising above the common masses.

"Shh! Keep it down, Brother Xiaofeng! Don't you dare tell anyone I told you!" Hanghang hurriedly clapped a hand over my mouth.

Through the crack in the door, I noticed the lights were on inside. It looked like the "Ice Queen" had returned! I took out my keys, opened the door, and walked in to find her sitting at her computer.

The Heaven-Protecting Gate swung open with a boom, and the city guards outside began to retreat toward Tianyi City in an orderly fashion.

Before them, floating rocks and islands began to appear. However, the space here had become much more rigid, and the gravity had doubled once more.

"Haha, Old Mike, you've caused me so much grief in the past; I simply have to get a little revenge," Mars said.

The four monsters—Yuan Lang, Qiu Hao, and the others—had lost their sanity, viewing Song Qing and his two companions as prey. They even fought among themselves for the kill; it was fortunate they did, or Song Qing’s group could never have withstood the four monsters working in tandem.

What was even more terrifying this time was that the power of the mercury was not merely acting upon the mechs; it carried a subtle, penetrating force that struck directly at the people inside.

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he looked coldly at the people around him. He gave them time to react, but after a long wait, they remained motionless, and not a single one of those snakes slithered away.

Huang Taiji let out a long cry and thrust his precious umbrella toward Mou Rongtian's chest. Mou Rongtian shouted, "Well come!" Neither dodging nor parrying, he bared his chest to Huang Taiji, inviting him to strike as he pleased.

"If we dare not open the Mountain-Protecting Array, then what is the point of our Thunder Academy existing here? What are we even doing?" Elder Lin shouted.

The group’s hearts slowly calmed, though they stared in terror at the spot where the monster had previously appeared.

Huang Taiji had been careless, never expecting a fierce battle, and had brought only twenty-odd Manchu soldiers with him. Against Mou Rongtian and the others, these soldiers were no match at all.

Who could have imagined that a righteous cultivator would commit such a deranged and heartless act?

After all, these people were just students, and today was a special day; he did not want to blow things out of proportion.

"If he carries the King's Sword, he is a friend to my Dwarf clan, and likewise a friend to the God of Thunder," Zeus said calmly. Omisido curled his lip, cursing under his breath.

Leaving the airport, an off-road vehicle was already waiting at the entrance, as Jin Wu had arranged in advance, along with the hotel bookings. Once the luggage was stowed, the group prepared to board.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yu did not hesitate to swing his flying sword at the zombie king's incoming fist. To be honest, this was the first time Qin Yu had faced such a behemoth... wait, no, the second time; the first was the Bull Demon King...

Battles between innate martial artists rarely lasted more than ten seconds. Take the fight between Ye Lin, Xing Meng, and Jiang Dongqing: from the moment Ye Lin attacked Xing Meng to the death of Jiang Dongqing, it had taken barely ten seconds.

Yang Fan's roommates and Luo Xueying remained silent, sensing that Yang Fan might have spotted something they hadn't.

Song Cong left the market, restored his original appearance, and after ensuring he wasn't being followed, he took to the wind and flew toward Duanyin Valley. By now, the day was late, the sun had long since dipped below the horizon, and the world was bathed in twilight.

"He must be dead by now... Fu Zhuang was at the most critical moment and could not afford any interference. Even if the Evil-Warding Talisman didn't work, that last strike must have triggered a backlash from the array itself!" Ye Lin leaned on his sword, breathing heavily as he pondered.

"This... is imperial green jade really this common these days?" The shopkeeper was stunned. In the center of the stone sat a piece of imperial green jade split in two. Had it been whole, it would have been worth a million on the market.

A smile appeared on his face involuntarily as Zhao Tianluan picked up his phone to reply to Qin Yu.

But just as Qin Yu grabbed his flying sword to use it as a shovel to dig out the fruit tree, an accident occurred. A voice sounded from nearby, and Qin Yu was shocked to realize someone had approached him.

"No need. Once the human skin is gone, 'Baldy' won't be able to exist in this world for much longer. He has already been too severely eroded by the yang energy," Zhou Tong said.
