Chapter 25

However, Heaven enjoys playing jokes on people, and it is often jealous of those brilliant, gifted, and handsome young men—figures like Cao Chong or Luo Binwang.

"So, what should we do? This guy is truly difficult to handle. It’s the first time I’ve encountered such an opponent; I can never seem to pin down his patterns. We’ve already had several comrades wounded, and the severity of their injuries is still uncertain," Jin Wei said with a sharp intake of breath.

The two men clinked their glasses and downed the liquor in one gulp, smacked their lips, picked up their chopsticks, and ate a few bites of food.

Lan Ya was consumed by fury, but he knew that he had fallen into a trap today. It turned out that Chen Langya had spoken with Handalass, which was why he had suddenly changed his mind.

"Don't panic, Ruoxi. Let's go to the Li residence right now and see what the situation really is." Although Lyu Xiang’er felt a bit flustered herself, she still comforted Sheng Ruoxi. At the same time, she looked toward Lvwwei, signaling her to prepare the carriage.

It seems Prince Cai can securely hold his place on the leaderboard; his strength is truly no exaggeration. With skills like that, it would be hard not to rank.

Seeing the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Keles Jiaye realized that if he lingered here any longer, he would only end up defeated. Besides, Okamura Muchen had lost all will to fight; having lost an arm, even if this guy recovered in the future, he would inevitably be a waste.

Passing by a pharmacy, Chen Mohan stopped in her tracks. After a moment of hesitation, she took Yang Xuerou’s arm and walked inside.

I saw him wearing a white athletic summer shirt and a white sun hat, smiling brightly at me.

"What letter? Just let me take it in!" said one of Liu Fei’s trusted aides. Regarding Li Zhu, the portly middle-aged boss, he had heard Liu Fei mention him unintentionally before. He just didn't understand who would want to send a letter to Boss Liu at such a late hour tonight.

On the long red carpet, a man in a black suit walked toward the altar with his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant.

Seeing this, Mosquito retracted his cannon and immediately activated the MX system. Boosting his speed to distance himself from the skeleton fish, he unleashed a continuous barrage of missiles, grenades, and beam attacks, adopting a "kiting" strategy.

"Everything is fine. Besides, I’m an easygoing person; I don’t have any issues with adjusting to new surroundings, and this place is truly wonderful," Lu Yuexie said, rising and gesturing to the room’s amenities.

"You’ve got guts. You just wait," Han Cheng said, throwing the flowers in his hand to the ground and storming off in a rage.

Long Moxuan drove to his detached villa in the suburbs. He had bought the villa just a few days ago, partly for the convenience of staying in Suzhou temporarily, and partly because the property had potential for appreciation. Back home, Long Moxuan wearily took off his coat, sat on the sofa, and buried his head in deep thought.

"Benefactor Ling, you have finally awakened, and your cultivation seems to have broken through as well. Ha, ha..." Master Tianji laughed heartily.

Bing Ruo suddenly pulled her hand back, covering her backside. "It’s... it’s nothing!" This was so awkward. After they had both taken off their coats and trousers earlier, being so scantily clad was awkward enough; just as the atmosphere had finally eased, this disruptive thing had to happen.

But strangely, there was no path leading upward at all, and I was immediately plunged into frustration.

After Fang Yaqing hugged Leng Yurou, she immediately let go. Leng Yurou smiled somewhat shyly, "Your name is so beautiful; it feels like I’ve heard it somewhere before." As she spoke, she looked toward Mu Tiange.

Of course, using this mirror to evaluate is only the first step, meant to identify the tester's attributes. However, there is a second step—an extremely important one. If the first step could be prone to error, the second step is absolutely infallible.

Lin Yi’s legs were slightly numb, so he took the opportunity to sit cross-legged on the ground, completely unaware of Mo Ximeng’s expression.

"But he is only a Martial Master right now; can you guarantee that he will definitely be able to grow?" the old man retorted.

"You..." Zuo Ying could no longer endure it. With a flick of her wrists, two kunai appeared in her palms.

As a domain-type secret technique, the Asura Killing Domain influences all enemies caught within its reach.

Fu Lanqing sat up straight upon hearing this, striving to project the image of a diligent, motivated student that his teacher would like. Even the lazy, wicked air about him faded significantly, replaced by a sense of earnestness.

After they exited the street that should have been bustling, the hole in the sky vanished, the houses that had turned to ruins were restored to their original state, and the dead returned to their places. They stood there in a daze, their minds blank, completely unable to recall what had just happened.

However, in the end, he realized he could not think of a solution, nor could he find such a place in his memories.

"Please, Your Majesty!" Qiao Dayong helped Qingqing up, then called for someone to open Zhenniang’s coffin lid. Qingqing pulled Qiao Dayong back.

Gu Xiaoxian couldn't help but feel a bit afraid. She didn't dare to relax for even a second. Suddenly, a murderous aura struck, accompanied by the heart-rending roars of wild beasts. Large flocks of beasts and birds fled in all directions. Gu Xiaoxian knew the masked man had returned.

"No... don't come over!" Robin managed to gasp out a warning with difficulty. However, the effort caused him to spit out another mouthful of blood—it was pitch black.

The guards immediately opened the ancestral gate, and the carriage sped off, leaving a trail of afterimages in the void.

Li You hadn't run far when he faintly heard the warning bells of Han Cheng. He thought, with two thousand garrison troops in the city, could they not defend a single fortress? If he were to rush back to rescue them and his three hundred men ran head-on into the rebel forces of Zhu, it would be a disaster. Therefore, he only sent two riders back to scout, while still leading his main force in pursuit of Zuo Guangxian.

Like Yang Qi, all the experts narrowed their eyes again, clearly uncertain about what was to happen next.
