Book One, Chapter 116: Zhong Tingyan Appears Once More

Chen Fan was slightly surprised; it was the first time he had seen someone from Dayin Temple use a technique from the Heavenly Dragon Eight Diagrams. Although the four practitioners were not fully trained, their combined palm strikes carried considerable force.

However, what followed left him utterly despairing. Upon clashing with the crimson sacred energy greatsword, an overwhelming force surged forth. The divine spear in his hand shattered instantly. The white-robed warrior barely had time to scream before the crimson blade, crackling with thunder and fire, descended, cleaving him apart and splattering blood everywhere.

“She came yesterday just to get me to work at her company,” Qin Ming said proudly, glancing at Yu Meixi with a look that seemed to say, “See? I’m not bad, right?”

That night, Ziling Tian and the senior members of the Slaughter Divine Dynasty held a banquet. Throughout the evening, everyone vented the frustrations of the past twenty years, laughing and feasting until past midnight.

Yet, when the rampaging Flower of Fluctuation began to bloom, unleashing its terrifying power uncontrollably, the king’s guards bore the brunt of it, their bodies fully experiencing the horror of the attack.

Boom! King Zhuan Xu smashed his Hanbai sword onto Qingwan. Vaughn was sent flying. The tremendous force shattered several of Muzi Yun’s teeth, but he bit down hard and held firm.

Chen Fan regretfully took out the green umbrella. Although its spirit had greatly diminished, its frame remained intact, with a few tears on the canopy. Injecting a surge of purple thunder true energy, the umbrella crackled, its power still present though somewhat beyond Chen Fan’s control.

At the same time, there was absolute confidence in Liao Jie, believing his child could survive in such an environment.

“Bastard!” Miyazaki Yu cursed in frustration. After a prolonged assault with no success, his irritation grew. Despite exerting full effort, Li Yang appeared unscathed, which only infuriated him further.

Suddenly, a gentle laugh echoed amongst everyone. It was Yun Chen, who had descended to about ten meters above the ground, surveying his surroundings with that soft laughter emanating from his lips.

“Why does the general treat us so? We are envoys of the Xiongnu, come to pay respects,” Yu Fuluo, implicated by Qu Beilian, did not resist but now faced death by blade or axe at any moment. Though likely doomed, he hurriedly tried to plead his case.

Perhaps some might find this ending less than perfect, but there was no choice. The contract stipulated a word count, so the conclusion, though simple and not entirely flawless, was still a somewhat beautiful finale.

In recent years, the emperor’s health had been poor, frequently falling ill, which was not unusual. But this time, the severity was such that Zhang Rang and others concealed the truth for several days, hinting at a dire condition.

“Very well, since you have no last words, then prepare to die.” Before the words fully left his mouth, Wu Dao’s eyes unleashed the Punishing Heaven’s Eye power, instantly enveloping Ghost Lord’s entire body.

Two hands wielding the heavy sword swung in a waist-level slash, releasing a sword aura several meters long that intercepted a flying sword. As the two clashed, the other four immediately launched a coordinated attack on Jian Ruochen.

That day, they had been at his villa finalizing their plan. I overheard their conversation by chance. When I rushed to inform my elder brother and sister-in-law, they had already begun executing their plot. That night marked a turning point, with everything changing drastically.

The last time the Empress Dowager pressured Luo Tianci to marry, he seized the chance to request a three-month reprieve, hoping to reverse his fate.

Under the faint candlelight, Su Qianqian lay on the table, counting the flickering shadows, as if she saw a certain black figure dart through the window and silently approach her side.

We looked ahead and noticed that the large sack from before was moving toward the water’s surface.

“I’ve sealed off this information. For now, your family’s Empress Dowager won’t find out. But this can’t continue. You should come to the company first.” After saying this, Zhu Jun stared at the IP flashing on his computer screen, hesitating whether to reveal more. Had that hacker returned to live at Hao Xin’s house?

I expressed my thanks, but staying in the medicine-scented infirmary was uncomfortable, so I took the medicine prescribed by the school doctor back to the dormitory to rest. With my recovery ability, I’d be well in a day at most, so it shouldn’t interfere with accompanying Ding Hanyu to visit our parents tomorrow.

Tang Shi was particular about this. Whenever Ye Fei came home late without reporting his whereabouts, Tang Shi would definitely become anxious when he returned.

At that moment, Jiang Liushi suddenly drove his heavily damaged vehicle straight at the indestructible giant metal sphere. Though knowing it was like an egg meeting a stone, the speaker had an ominous feeling in his heart.

Who is familiar with the inner palace? Who could silently avoid all eyes and ears to kill a prince and a concubine without a trace?

If Jiang Liushi held a gun now, he could kill him in a dozen different ways within a second from various angles.

Zhang Sheng slapped Ding Wanmu hard, knocking out two of his big teeth and swelling half his face terribly.

Upon hearing Wang Hu’s orders, Da Pao and the others tidied up the card table and left, while Gouzi came over and stood behind him.

Next to Li Yuxin stood Wang Shiqi, similarly dressed but having changed out of her designer clothes into a white lab coat.

“Shall we wait a bit longer? I heard the Russians and French haven’t left yet,” the temporary first mate suggested.

After leaving the banquet hall, Zhou Zhong did not return to the village but booked a hotel room to begin cultivation.

As the first light of dawn spilled over the Thousand Leaf Sect, Ye Han slowly descended onto the sect’s plaza.

“Yes,” I responded mechanically, my mind racing to devise how to persuade Qian Cong to release the grain supplies.

Watching Lian Ruoye stumble and disappear into the distance, Gu Yiran’s held breath finally eased. She hoped that the old fox Zhang Minsheng would indeed have some restraint when dealing with Yin Lengche.
