Chapter 44

The moment the Ninth Elder made his move, he unleashed the Demonic Domain's most formidable martial art, slamming a fierce palm strike directly down toward Lin Feng.

Oh my, how could he take up all her attention! She usually detested strangers visiting her home, but not only was she not annoyed by Yan Shaoyuan's arrival, she was even excited. Needless to say about their banter—she spent the entire day exchanging witty retorts with him.

Xu Jingyou was also startled by him, and with a trace of embarrassment, she pulled her feet back slightly. Ji Cheng steadied her and looked up.

Yan Shaoyuan took her hand in his. Xu Jingjing yielded to his embrace, letting him take what he wished. The words piled up in her chest found no way to be spoken. To be held by him like this, to be intimately captured, was a sensation she had never tasted before.

Seeing him injured, everyone ran over from nearby. Lu Haofan sat on the ground clutching his leg; because his shoes were thin, his foot was bleeding and his right leg was badly bruised—a very severe injury.

The reason they were able to rank among Jiangyun City's top ten tycoons, apart from their legitimate business methods, was also tied to certain underworld figures and factions.

She dreamed every day of her nephew's resurrection, still lingering in time, dreaming that suddenly one day, Haofan would reappear.

This matter might be related to what Lu Zichuan was investigating, and it was also tied to Shen Mengxin's future survival within the Prince's Manor. Song Qingzhi truly wanted to know.

Right now, he looked just like a youth from the marketplace, wearing ordinary cloth garments with his hair tied up, adding a touch of worldly warmth to his aura. If one ignored his eyes, he felt much more approachable than before.

Lin Feng was currently at the late Realm King stage, yet facing the Great Elder of the Heavenly Venerate realm, he felt his own movements instantly restricted.

Nangong Feng found that he truly could not squeeze out another word. He had a terrible headache today, perhaps due to soaking in the hot springs for too long, so now he just wanted to sleep and leave everything else to be resolved after waking up.

Compared to the others, Chang Xi's previously knitted brows finally smoothed out. Her beautiful eyes rippled as she gazed at Li Jing's figure, which swam freely amidst the thunder and lightning, her eyes filled with deep joy and adoration.

It would be fine if Fang Shuyao could wake up safe and sound this time, but if she could not wake up, Mu Haofan would likely live in guilt for the rest of his life. There was a kind of pain far worse than death.

"Earth-Shattering Slash!" The blue-armored middle-aged man hurriedly unleashed his ultimate technique once again to rescue his companion. Unfortunately, the moment his blade slashed forward, Li Jing's four claws unleashed one of the fatal moves of the "Divine Dragon Seal Technique"—"Dragon Seal Overturning the Cosmos."

Now that they had a major financial backer like Yuan Cheng right at the start, Lin Hua's worries were undoubtedly justified.

A few minutes ago inside the Dragon God Pagoda, Li Jing—who had been striking a pose for Chang Xi to sketch—suddenly paused his body, snapped his head up, and gazed toward the western direction of the Divine Land of China.

Sanya's face clearly expressed an unwillingness to leave, but seeing her mother's worried expression, her heart softened.

Though Li Er had mentally prepared himself beforehand, his expression still shifted when he actually laid eyes upon that black hole which could not even reflect light, looking utterly like a bottomless abyss.

Two streaks of cold, black-and-white radiance traced a beautiful arc through the air, and following that, the six aggressive green beams were sent flying backward in defeat, completely unable to come within range of the disciple.

When their palms met, Li Hongjie only felt a colossal force strike him, forcing him to stagger back a few steps before he landed squarely on his bottom.

There was no help for it; Nannan's appearance was simply too endearing—fair, tender, and looking not the least bit frightening.

I was dumbfounded. How could this old man still recognize my voice? But he only cried out twice before letting out a miserable scream. I clearly saw a flying knife pierce Old Lu's forehead. The old veteran slowly collapsed to the ground and never made a sound again.

The door to the conference room was suddenly flung open, and a "Yanhuang" soldier clad in special combat gear rushed in. His left sleeve hung empty and was stained with flowing blood; had he not been a powerful source-energy master, he likely would have passed out from blood loss long ago.

He remembered Shi Muxue telling him not long ago that "Yanhuang" had unearthed an ancient sword from an ancient ruin, and Shi Yurong had been hunted down precisely because she was escorting this ancient sword. Many people had died for it back then, and he wondered if the broken sword Tu Tianxiao spoke of referred to this very one.

Just as he stepped out of the Poison Fighting Arena, hundreds of gazes pierced toward Gu Qing like sharp swords, eager to see what kind of big shot had the ability to defeat Wei Yao.

Upon arriving at the destination, Ning Shanshan discovered that this place seemed even more upscale than any restaurant she had ever seen before. Was she just overthinking things, or perhaps because she was in a foreign land, every single place felt novel?

"Next, what countermeasures does General Zuo have?" Cang Jiuyao asked, looking at the map while turning to Zhengming.

"Wait a moment, I will make arrangements right away!" Professor Yu's expression also turned somewhat solemn; such a matter demanded his utmost seriousness.

Because the weapons they used in the war opened the box that imprisoned the demons and ultimately summoned a surging deluge, though they sealed off the innermost Holy City and cut off the floods, their food supplies were slowly running out.

The Longyang before her had not changed his features, but his eyes had become terrifying—they were blood-red eyes that emitted an intimidating, crimson glare.

If those ugly swamp demons hadn't had their aesthetic standards completely warped by their long-term hideous forms, falling for Yan'er and abducting her would have been entirely normal.

However, no matter what, Xiao Haanyi being single was an undeniable fact. He had never explained the reason for his singleness to the outside world, always brushing people off with the excuse that he hadn't met anyone who caught his eye. As for these rumors, he had never cared about them in the slightest; the capital was a place overflowing with rumors—one more or one less made no difference to him.

"Pfft," Ye Qinglan failed to hold back and burst out laughing, earning her a fierce glare from Liu Fengxun.

He smiled with a grin that could not be concealed. His eyes were exceptionally beautiful, even more mesmerizing than Ye Qinglan's.

Yet regarding such a matter, she could hardly explain that the shopkeeper guarding the gold store was actually none other than herself.

The Buddha Immortal River was a supreme existence on the Wangchuan Continent. Although it could not be considered the most mysterious, it was far too distant from their three kingdoms.

This was a very sufficient reason, but Nangong Yu felt somewhat saddened upon discovering that whenever the topic of children came up, her eyes would dart away evasively.

"Godmother, my mommy is pregnant, and the doctor said she needs to rest and nurture the fetus," Yinuo suddenly said, looking up from the side.

"Qinglan, are you alright?" After Helian Hao left, Helian Cheng did not immediately follow him. Seeing her reddened wrist, a wave of tenderness washed over him.

As the elevator doors opened, she transformed back into the refined and capable jewelry designer. Gu眠 was stubborn and refused to let anyone witness her vulnerable side.
