Volume One, Chapter 62: The Supreme Emperor—Qin Bao Has Given Far Too Much!

As soon as he arrived, Liu Bei immediately urged his soldiers to attack the city. Though they succeeded in executing the traitorous Shi Ren, they were repeatedly driven back from the city walls by Li Dian and his troops. Of course, this was merely a matter of time, for there was little left for them to ponder their next move.

Indeed, such venomous taunts were, in Xishabuke’s mind, a strategy—to enrage the opponent with vicious insults, throw them into disarray, and thus expose a fatal weakness to strike. This was Xishabuke’s signature tactic.

Yet, unlike Luo Qingxin’s concern, Su Zhong paid no attention to this, for he was wholly stunned by Yi Ying’s final words.

The Abyssal Demon Dragons, however, were another matter. As kin to the Demon King Hades, even with their power greatly diminished by the laws of Heim, they were still far beyond what any demigod could hope to tackle alone.

Aside from Huo Qingshu, there was only Jin Ti. After all, while the strength of the House of Embroidered Brocade’s inner court was roughly on par with the stewards, the stewards, in terms of heritage and influence, could in no way compare with the inner court.

Inspector of the central army, Guo Tu, retorted, “Zhang He’s words are mistaken! Since the Cao army has dispatched its elite forces, their main camp’s defenses must now be weakened, lacking the rapid reinforcement of mobile units.”

Hearing this, I hurriedly offered modest words, then entered the room to change clothes. After a simple breakfast with PD in the hotel room, I left the Four Seasons Hotel and drove towards my agency, Se7sen Entertainment.

Indeed, though the youth was still the same eldest son of his house, his soul had been slyly swapped; another spirit now occupied his body.

“Should we just leave?” Li Youyue suggested softly, her heart pounding as the house was practically packed with people.

Upon hearing this, Arlia frowned; the defeat of Nora and Oray meant the Azure Forest Academy now had even more personnel at their disposal, while the situation at Magis Academy had grown ever more dire.

The three stonecutters discussed and finally decided to slice the massive rough stone in half, intending to study the distribution of jade within after the cut.

Before long, Liu Yaoxi’s workday ended. After packing up and bidding her colleagues goodbye, she left the company.

Rhinefield followed behind her; though somewhat helpless, he was soothed by her innocent cheerfulness.

The plan was indeed bold, for according to the theory of relativity, the longer the cosmic distance stretched, the slower time would flow. The phenomenon of spatial distortion would be noticed by the enemy all the sooner—even before emerging from warp, they might be subjected to the enemy’s immediate assault.

The Scarlet Venom Serpent King's body, though on the ground, did not die—instead, it darted underground in a flash and vanished.

“Alright, alright, we’ll do as you say.” Xie Xun nodded repeatedly, readily agreeing to Xie Wuji’s suggestion. He clung tightly to Xie Wuji’s hands, as if afraid he might suddenly disappear again.

Perhaps this was the so-called division of expertise; at this moment, even these lone wolves of the battlefield were at a loss.

The main reason was that Qian Zhan could sense the faint golden glow emanating from those dozens of pages, a strange magical power drawing him in, the righteous aura calling to him.

Bai Xuan once told me that for someone like me, gifted with the ability to open the heavenly eye, intuition often works better than experience.

Zhou Chengyu was greatly surprised upon receiving the imperial edict. He had thought that such an effortless chance at merit would never fall to him.

Those resting on the ground blinked and watched as Fu Yao swept through like a swarm of locusts, collecting all the crystal cores.

Feng An, knowing that things often go awry during the New Year rush, deliberately came over and tugged his apprentice’s ear, giving him a stern reminder.

Qin Wu picked up a smooth pebble outside, borrowed a fruit knife from the noodle shop owner, and began to carefully whittle it down.

“I told you to call the police—didn’t you hear me?” Qin Shizhou turned back in displeasure, but was suddenly met with Yu Chi’s icy eyes, cold despite the smile on his lips. The blaze of anger in his mind instantly gave way to reason, and embarrassment and regret crossed his face.

At last, Fu Xin nagged a bit—nothing more than urging Fu Yao to make proper preparations for her marriage, which made her hastily slip away.

Suddenly, a gust of chaotic, swirling air swept through the Wind Shadow Office. In the next instant, Naruto appeared inside.

Unlike Shen Nuo donning red to lure the killer into committing another crime, our entry into the village had probably already put us under the gaze of the one who used curses to commit his crimes. In other words, his preparations had long since begun; he would have acted regardless of any attempt at entrapment, so there was no question of us having seduced him into crime.

The captain was momentarily stunned when he saw Yang Luo. He had not expected the head of the criminal investigation squad to be so young—definitely under thirty. Clearly, he must have gotten the position through connections.

“Injuries are commonplace; we even have cripples among us. Especially when students of equal strength fight, it’s nearly impossible to determine a winner without going all out. Since everyone gives their all, it’s no surprise that people get hurt,” Mo Qianxing remarked with feeling.

Jiang Shaoyan and Iron Donkey exchanged a glance, both frowning. Old Cat was clearly growing impatient. Suddenly, he acted, barking, “What are you whining about?” and gave a hard yank.
