Volume 1, Chapter 56: You Have Some Nerve

This was spoken by someone whose hair stood on end like a bird's nest. He spoke in a duck-like voice that sounded extremely grating and rather uncomfortable.

Yixuan was stunned, and not just her; everyone else was too. They had not expected Catherine to suddenly utter such acrimonious and targeted words. It seemed she had already placed Gu Lanfeng on her list of intensely disliked people, and poor Gu Lanfeng had thus found himself on her blacklist.

"You're finally here, keeping me waiting the whole day." Fede muttered resentfully as he looked at Yixuan, then walked behind the counter, picked up the barware, and began mixing drinks.

This at least felt like a term Chen Xi deemed suitable for a name, so he said, "Sakura, lead the way to the Jingjin Shrine."

Only by inviting a heavyweight like Shen Liancheng to the scene could he be used as a hostage in the event of any unforeseen changes, thus keeping the situation under control.

"The ice arrow may have been concealed in the saddle beforehand. When an unfamiliar groom led the horse, it would react violently, and the ice arrow would..." Every link had been arranged with exquisite precision.

Below, the voices of the Water Mirror Merfolk sounded almost simultaneously: "The Imperial Family? Didn't the imperial bloodline vanish long ago?"

The night grew darker and deeper, with only a scattering of stars blinking and shimmering, curiously gazing down at everything in the realm below. Wuyou and Wuhui exchanged a knowing smile. They wondered what the Crown Princess would do. Before any business had even been conducted, these two had already decided to sit back and enjoy a good show.

Feeling the opponent's chilling water-attribute spiritual power, Zilan displayed unprecedented solemnity. Never had she expected Yan Fang's spiritual power to be so formidable; after seizing Mu Feng's body, she was actually able to suppress her original fire-attribute spiritual power and make her own water-attribute spiritual power dominant.

Meanwhile, Leng Lie and the others were mostly astonished, casting bewildered glances at Daniel. They knew that there were only two kinds of people to whom Daniel would proactively introduce himself by his full name: opponents, and those he acknowledged. To acknowledge someone after such a brief contact—Daniel, what on earth are you thinking? doubts swirled in the minds of several of them.

"I know, I know, projecting majestic might, I understand!" Yang Linglan maintained her knowing expression, which only infuriated Xiao Li further. He turned and walked to the front of the formation, glaring at the Demon Lord opposite him, looking as though he wanted to step out and start a brawl.

Zheng Fengxian narrowed her eyes upon hearing Ruoshui's words. She had assumed that Ruoshui, coming from a village, lacked exposure, yet she never expected the girl to recognize at a glance that these gifts were immensely valuable. Ruoshui had been in Nanjing City for only a few months—how could she possibly understand so much?

The Art of the Asura Sword: playing chess with humanity through the sword, playing chess against the enemy with the sword, integrating the principles of chess into swordsmanship—an extraordinary skill that surpassed the mortal world.

Having obtained the "Only I Am Supreme" stance of the Tathagata Palm from the sarira, the final piece of Ma Jun's martial intent was fulfilled, becoming the flesh and blood of his martial will. From this moment on, Ma Jun's martial intent reached perfection.

Beginning from the absolute edge of the array, the souls of the Shadow Squad caught within its pull vanished into nothingness in an instant! In a complete encirclement formation, they closed in toward Mubai, Junchen, Chonglin, and Yuzhuo.

Qin Haoxuan's display was simply too overwhelming. The Dragon Scale Sword in his hand seemed to have developed a fighting spirit of its own, and that clear, dragon-like roar caused many of the spirit beasts present to tremble all over and retreat involuntarily.

Ma Jun suddenly channeled his energy, exerting all of his ten-percent power to slam a palm down onto the ground, yet not even a tiny speck of debris managed to fly up.

Huo Yun had long since been tempered through all kinds of encounters with underworld syndicates and armed militants, and he had slain numerous enemies in the past. While fighting against those evil forces, he had learned how to deal with this sort of lawless element.

After nodding to Gu Changhe, Qin Haoxuan closed his eyes to continue meditating on the insights he had gained during his state of oneness with heaven and earth. Gu Changhe simply watched on, remaining motionless like a stone sculpture.

If it had merely been a slash across Ma Jun's throat, it would not have brought him to this point; but this blade-edge was infused with the myriad ways of heaven and earth. It was not the physical blade that cut Ma Jun's throat, but the Rule of Death. Under the adjudication of the Rule of Death, how could Ma Jun possibly survive? Or rather, how could Ma Jun even be willing to live?

"I have never laid eyes on you; you must merely be Kellogg's lapdog. Call your boss out, and I'll simply kill him! You are no match for me!" Congyi was brimming with confidence.

The energy apparatus used to refit the hotel building was of an extra-large capacity, and the energy contained within it was sufficient to power the aircraft carrier Washington for a trip around the globe.

Han Lang, however, shook his head. If not for the care of the Heaven-Defying Jade Rabbit and the Succubus along this journey, he and Yun Xing would likely have perished countless times over, which was why Han Lang felt overflowing gratitude toward these two beast kings.

To him, this fierce and menacing older brother gave off a feeling as though he might devour him in the very next second.

"..." Lord Long fell silent. He knew that pair of gauntlets was formidable, capable of automatically blocking all physical attacks, even catching bullets! Yet, taking merely twenty brothers with him left Lord Long feeling profoundly uneasy.

The coming and going customers were mostly students, and Farr College maintained a militarized management style, so people usually just came by for a drink.

It was not just Diyi, but Dijie, Diling, and Diqing who all held a trace of anticipation deep within their eyes. If Han Lang survived this Myriad Beasts Heavenly Tribulation, it would trigger a massive upheaval; such a terrifying tribulation was something even the Desolate Demon Lord of the Saint Realm had never experienced in the past.

If it were an ordinary person, upon hearing that tea was so valuable, they would never bear to give it to others to drink.

After obtaining the Undecaying Grass, the Three-Headed Golden Dragon's strength increased. With the two Undead Lords joining forces with Han Lang and a group of young supremes to besiege the skeletal serpent, no matter how powerful the serpent was, it was directly beaten to pieces by the crowd.

The houses built with circular or pointed roofs somehow completely mirrored the architectural style of her hometown palaces. There was a semicircular lattice window upon them, utterly distinct from the window styles of other buildings in Penglai Heavenly Capital, making Xue Ji feel increasingly warm and comforted the longer she looked.

"Fine, I promise you, but you cannot leave my side!" Shao Qianjun finally agreed; after all, Ye Nan Tian and the others were essentially forcing him to bring Shao Zidan along.
