After unhitching the carriage, Ganso and Qionglin sat together on it. Though they were only a little over four hundred meters from the Immortal Palace, it felt as if an entire world lay between them.
Their side was clearly stronger than the opposition, yet the enemy’s endless array of methods had forcibly turned the tide of the battlefield.
Chen Zhu was no longer in any hurry to go to the factory. He turned around and went back to his room, where he knocked on Ning Zhihuan’s door.
Who could have imagined that the moment Zhan Lantian entered, he would recklessly open the cage containing the pets?
A man who could threaten others with his own life, and even injure himself to do so—what was there that he would not dare attempt?
Ying Xuan could not be bothered with them. He gathered up the corpses and imperial weapons of the nine Supreme Beings, including the Immortal-Transcending Celestial Venerable, the Stone Emperor, and the Lord of Reincarnation.
“So that’s how it is.” Lin Yi pondered inwardly. Perhaps he had drifted out of that so-called Sea of Laws, which was why others had been able to see him.
They said that to strike a snake, one had to hit it seven inches below the head. The exhausted demonic serpent finally exposed its weakness. Lin Yi’s spirits soared at the sight, and he leaped into the air, bringing his blade down upon the serpent’s vital point.
Lin Yi understood. He patted Jing Qiao on the shoulder without saying anything. Birth, aging, illness, and death were things everyone had to experience eventually; there was nothing he could say to console him.
“Good heavens, is that really true?” Old Madam Ning was stunned. Could clothes costing fifty-odd dollars really be made of gold?
The cook thought for a moment, then raised her hand and slipped it inside her trousers, as though feeling around her backside. No one knew exactly what she was doing. She pulled her hand out, stirred the food with her fingers a few times, and then gave an honest, simple-minded smile.
Those blood demons stood upon the mountain like hideous statues—ugly monuments to the worst of humanity.

In truth, even if someone died, so long as the victim’s family was willing to spend money to settle the matter privately, the authorities would not pursue it too closely.
Scarlet Flame narrowed his yellow-green, serpentine eyes and revealed an expression of disdain. Then, as though he had thought of something, he happily stretched his mouth wide, exposing two sinister, razor-sharp fangs.
It was the New Year, after all, and everyone ought to be happy. I drove the children to the mall, bought them both a pile of new clothes, then took them to the amusement park. We played there all day before heading home.
But now the Shen family had become utterly uninteresting. Although Shen Chao was a core disciple of the Blazing Cloud Sect, the Shen family had failed to win first place in the grand competition. Without that victory, they had no way to drive the Xiao family out of Radiant City.
Although he was the foremost Saint of the primordial world, he had still learned of the existence of Chaos Saints through the will of the primordial world. He expected Ancestor Yang Mei to travel into Chaos and break through to become a Chaos Saint, for only then could he stand against him. As for Jiang Xiao, he was even more powerful; perhaps he had already become a Chaos Saint.
He had also specially cultivated a martial technique called Turtleback Art, which gave him an extraordinarily abnormal resistance to blows.
Fang Zheng did not hesitate. He slammed the man to the ground, his fists raining down like drops of rain. The air rang incessantly with dull thuds.
Nangong Yunyao and the others hurried out of the cave entrance and attacked the ninth-level demonic beast that had fallen below.
Yu Shiyi had not thought that far ahead. Seeing that Fu Duoduo truly refused, he said nothing more, though his eyes darkened slightly.
Unless the newly built schools managed to flourish and bear fruit over the next decade or so, the Gaocang Group would probably find it difficult to expand and grow.
Come to think of it, I had chosen to enlist after watching this television series. When I was assigned to this unit, I had been so excited that I jumped for joy. The character Bai Tiejun, played by Su Luo in the series, was named after my own platoon leader, Bai Tiejun, while the Steel Seventh Company in the show was based on the Seventh Company here.
He ran into that fat bastard again. The moment Su Luo saw that smiling, fleshy face, he felt like punching it.

If the attributes mentioned above could benefit any combat engineer, then this final attribute would give Zhang Yang an even greater advantage—which was why he had been smiling all along.
Even so, by the time they reached the restaurant, it was already evening and the sky had grown completely dark. Qi Kexue could not help sighing once more. Transportation really was a serious problem; they had wasted all their time on the road.
The Kong clan of Qilu traced its lineage back to Confucius, the Most Sagely Teacher. It was the foremost great family of Qilu, possessing more land and servants than could be counted.
Mu Bai’s roar plunged all the reporters into silence. Only then did they realize what the so-called online cinema of Zenith Star Corporation actually was.
The reason he appeared perfectly normal was that he had not understood what Duncan had said either. Duncan had merely added afterward, “If you do not understand, just watch what we do in the next match.” With that, Lin Yi felt reassured and sat there without a care, no longer needing to think about anything.
“Do not look back. Someone is following us. They are probably the prefect’s men. We need to find somewhere to deal with them.” Qi Kexue warned him first, then explained.
In the afternoon, Lin An called home, and Father answered the phone. Later, after the relatives had left, Father mentioned that Lin An had called again to congratulate her on winning the competition. At the time, she found it somewhat strange.
Only after crossing this threshold would every move and technique mastered by a martial artist truly become their own. Compared with Intermediate Transmission, Advanced Transmission allowed one to alter techniques according to personal wishes, rather than being bound by rigid routines—possessing only their form while failing to grasp their spirit.
