Chapter 82

However, such a vital artifact of the nation, even if it is to be passed on to the world, must only be entrusted to all under heaven after Zhang Bairen has unified the realm. Thus, the master of ceremonies was especially enthusiastic, unleashing his most impressive eloquence with fervor.

After Guan Shijie returned to the office building, he sought out Jiro Murakami first and asked whether he had any acquaintances within the Tokko secret police agency. As for the benefits accepted in the process or the debts of gratitude incurred afterward, those were all Uncle Li’s concerns; why should all the consequences be shifted onto Shiguang’s shoulders?

Judging by the current circumstances, there are already cities where human cultivators have managed to withstand the tide of demon beasts—a fact that is obviously unwelcome news to the beasts themselves. What concerned him most, in fact, was the reaction his four car models, designed for today’s debut at the airshow, would provoke across major automotive websites such as Autohome once they sparked widespread attention.

Therefore, Sun Wukong decided to purchase the Blood Tyrant plant, but before doing so, he still had some reservations. In the final moments, Houston sat down hard on Mo Mengchen and, with a turnaround jump shot at the buzzer, clinched the victory for his team.

When it came to identifying medicines, he was utterly lost, unable to find a breakthrough—quite at odds with the “essence” character in his name.

As the black hole spun violently, Peter suddenly began to struggle with all his might, his face contorted in terror.

He had already received notification from the Spring Festival Gala program team, confirming that he would be performing at the Zhuhai City satellite venue.

Ye Luan had always feared that the potent pills would drive her mad, sending her into a bloody frenzy. Therefore, so long as she could still control the situation, she always restrained the pills’ ultimate effects.

Dr. Zhang was mortally wounded and died before Jiang Bing. Pale-faced, Jiang Bing threw down the scalpel and, trembling, dressed herself.

The two thousand and some yuan they had managed to save had already been handed over to the hospital, but clearly, it was nowhere near enough.

Yet Xie Yulan cared little for this; forthright by nature, with a generous bust she had long grown used to, she was unbothered. However, there were a few who targeted not her, but Shui Han, and with particular venom.

On the left, the Sword King suddenly sensed a chilling killing intent from behind and hurried to turn around—only for a long leg to slam down hard upon his back.

Jiang Yun’s family background was terrifyingly powerful, so she naturally had little trouble and even a chance to make a comeback. Becoming an instructor in the Red Arrow Counterterrorism Special Forces was simply a matter of lying low, awaiting the right moment.

Looking up, one could see the main red-lacquered gate topped by a black nanmu plaque, upon which three characters—“Xianyang Palace”—were inscribed in bold, flowing script.

“Yes! I suppose I should thank you! If I hadn’t met Snoopy in your shop, I wouldn’t have found such a suitable internship so easily,” she said with a radiant, sincere smile.

Lin Yi was truly at a loss as to why he could now summon Sesshomaru—a complete demon, this immensely powerful being, practically a boss-level figure.

Second, even if the Clark family learned that the Six City-States possessed a powerful weapon capable of striking down demonic insects from a distance, they would merely assume it to be some formidable magitech device. Such weapons, while impressive, could not exist in large numbers—otherwise, why would the Six City-States remain holed up in such remote corners?

Li Zhonghe nodded vigorously. He was inherently a fan of flowery rhetoric, but he disliked it when others used it on him; he preferred subordinates who took action. Dai Quanshun’s words resonated perfectly with his own inclinations.

The mountain wind was cold, and Fire Dance began to shiver. Dragon Song took off his jacket for her, and only then did she feel warmth again. Dragon Song, robust and hardy, was unfazed by the chill.

It was not until June 19th that Wu Peifu confirmed that the People’s Party’s main force was assembling in Linzhang County. Linzhang was a major grain-producing region, which aligned with Wu Peifu’s predictions. Thus, he moved his troops.

The only factor limiting the size of the Insect Army was food. No matter how prodigious their reproductive rate, without sufficient food, any new soldiers would end up fighting among themselves for survival—an instinctual need beyond even the control of the Brain Bugs.

“That’s something only Qi Master level experts would know—I have no idea!” Dragon Song said with a smile.

The Ancient Toad of Myriad Poisons was startled and could not evade in time; it let out a thunderous roar, gathering its green aura at its belly to block the charging Earth Dragon.

With that, Sasarion leapt from his skeletal warhorse to join the fray, silently coordinating with the ceaselessly cursing Olbaz’s assault, his longsword delivering a sweeping slash right at the onset.

All the hunters understood that the further they ventured, the greater the rewards. With little risk, they could now reach the Leizhou Peninsula, and even without Zhang Shuyi’s prompting, many hunters set out there on their own.

Autumn insects murmured, moon shadows danced, and within Murong Ningyan’s heart, it was as if a spring pond, ruffled by the wind, began to ripple gently.

Ye Yaotiao thought up an excuse. She had imagined that if she voiced this reason, Han Shaoxun might change his mind, yet his expression remained utterly unperturbed.

At that moment, an incredible scene unfolded—Sili saw the demonic wolf’s lips curl into what looked like a sneer, as if mocking Tiepi Mang’s desperate counterattack. Suddenly, a blood-red light flashed from the wolf’s forehead, piercing space and striking Tiepi Mang squarely in the skull.

With this thought, he snorted haughtily and plopped down on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds and watching TV.

Similarly, the remaining four Soviet-made Su-22 fighter-bombers had all defected from the other side. Thus, all the advanced weaponry in the hands of the National Liberation Army opposition forces had, in fact, come from their adversaries.
