Chapter 67 Let's Call Off the Engagement
Having apparently experienced an attack once before, the students at the scene were not particularly panicked, though they continuously ducked toward concealed places.
"Alright, very well!" The boss knew how to handle matters. Hearing this, he took his leave immediately and gently closed the door for Ye Yun. "I've managed to fool them, but this place is not to be lingered in for long," Ye Yun closed his eyes and murmured softly to himself.
Every word that slipped from his thin lips sounded to others as though they were sitting by a window in the dead of a snowy winter, sipping a cup of steaming, fragrant tea all by themselves. The curling, lingering aroma filled the air, warming one's heart.
"Captain Gao, hello, my name is Park Jung-yeon." Park Jung-yeon shook hands openly and generously with Gao Hongqi, then retreated to Wang Dong's side.
"Someone is following you!" Xue Sha suddenly spoke up beside Liu Shuang, while using a white handkerchief to wipe his Tang sword.
"It's a total solar eclipse; the spatial barrier is unstable, the opportunity has arrived!" Bai Ze flicked her flowing sleeves and soared toward the sky.
As the two exchanged blows, frigid, blinding flashes kept flickering, accompanied from time to time by high-speed piercing sounds through the air, fierce gales, and a bone-chilling aura.
Compared to the attire of the Xuehan Palace, this person's garments were more magnificent and substantial, with meticulous attention to detail. Tassels swayed in the wind at his waist, and what amazed Tan Luo the most was that his collar and cuffs were trimmed with fox fur—the kind of silver infused with a faint hint of purple, shining and slippery like silk in the sunlight.
Meanwhile, Zhang Meng unleashed three consecutive Earth Ball spells, hurtling directly toward Tuluo's face. However, the earth balls were shattered to pieces the moment they touched Tuluo's protective battle aura, let alone having any chance of injuring a fraction of him.
The two soldiers leading the way did not reply, merely pressing forward in silence, as if they hadn't heard a single word Su Xiao had said.
In truth, Lin Dong believed he could control his emotions, unaware that emotions are impossible for anyone to control.
"Alright, Li Tong, once I've digested this spiritual blood, I'll definitely let you know," the intelligent spirit responded excitedly.
His voice was fervent, carrying an indescribable passion. It was highly inflammatory and capable of touching people's hearts. His gaze, however, was not oppressive and lacked any aggressive overtones, yet it left one with the distinct impression of his immense presence.
Now, no matter who tried to tell him that Old Zhuang was not corrupt, he wouldn't believe it even if he died. Not corrupt? For a mere prefect, this grand display and pomp were simply far too luxurious.
Her movement technique had been forged through countless brushes with life and death; the Immortal Shadow Elusive Steps had long since reached mastery. If she so desired, she could flash right before him this instant.
"Fine then, you two take care on the road." Han Feng generously pulled out a money pouch from his pocket and handed a dozen pieces of shattered silver to the pair. Since these two were going to take him as their master, he naturally had to show some gesture. Once this master-disciple relationship was established, it was equivalent to a father-son bond, not easily shaken off once assumed.
A rustling sound came from behind. Everyone turned back to look, only to see that massive red-tailed sand lizard crawling over slowly. Although its speed was unhurried, its sheer size was so immense that the span of each step was extraordinarily vast.
Han Feng thought lewdly to himself: While looking at you, I incidentally happened to see you bathing as well. At this thought, Han Feng subconsciously lowered his head to look at the bloodstains on his sleeves.
Yu Yao felt as anxious as if a cat were scratching her heart. She scratched her head, poured him tea, and continued to gaze at him with eager anticipation.
Qin Xiaomi walked over, and Lin Dong handed it to her. Qin Xiaomi lowered her head to flip through it, then sat down on the sofa and began reading attentively, appearing completely absorbed.
Fifteen consecutive abyssal magic cores were swallowed by Lin Bao, and instantly, a wave of warm energy radiated from within Lin Bao's body.
Even a place dealing in the jewelry business couldn't bear such a loss, right? People in business had all their cash tied up in goods; to suddenly lose ten thousand taels in hard currency would severely impair cash flow and could even lead straight to bankruptcy or closure.
The Abyssal Blade Demon glared ferociously and hideously at Hades, the God of Fire, and the others. "All of you are going to die!" With that, the Abyssal Blade Demon suddenly burst into wild, arrogant laughter, reaching out to draw a huge silver longsword from behind its back. In the sunlight, it reflected a bone-chillingly sharp, cold gleam.
At this moment, Li Hai and the other two looked utterly wretched. Yan Kuo was disheveled with unkempt hair, his clothes torn in multiple places, and a two-inch-long bloody gash on his right arm. The wound had already scabbed over, and judging by the cut, it was clearly inflicted by a sharp weapon.
Li Hai recognized this as the voice of the old monk, and he knew the artistic conception represented by this poem. More importantly, he knew the origin of the poem—it came from his homeland, Earth.
"It is my honor to serve you, Milord." Alex bowed respectfully before turning to leave.
However, the moment his fire tongs made contact with that sword blossom, he instantly felt a peerlessly sharp sword intent accompanied by a strange, vibrating sensation transmit upward along the fire tongs.
Qin Ming recognized this Shattering Flame Hammer; it was none other than a lower-grade spiritual artifact passed down through generations of the Qin family, which could not only be used to combat enemies but also possessed special efficacy in forging weapons.
"Mustn't think about it... mustn't think about it..." Aelinis could only issue a faint reminder to herself using her shallow consciousness while half-asleep.
Liu Zixuan glanced at X1352 without offering any response, but the fact that she stopped walking right beside him should probably be considered another way of silently consenting to his suggestion.
Upon learning that Rayner had already resolved the massive trouble that was Thanos, everyone let out a huge sigh of relief, especially Ebony Maw and Proxima Midnight. Originally Thanos's subordinates, they could now be said to have completely shaken off Thanos's control and gained true freedom.
Just as Dafu and the others were about to reach the starting point, the pursuers behind them stopped in a bizarre manner.
