Chapter 59, The Dust Settles (Part 1)
At this moment, I was still mid-air with nothing to push off against, and the six dragon shadows were too late to fly beneath my feet. I could only hold my breath, driving my thunder shield to its absolute limit, while gripping my sword with both hands and slashing with all my might toward the steel claws swept out by the holy beast, the White Tiger.
"What? Silk threads!" Hearing Soga's words, the three of them cried out simultaneously, their faces filled with disbelief.
Just when everyone thought the continent had returned to peace, that terrifying army appeared once more. They simultaneously attacked the gathering places of the elves and successfully uprooted the Tree of Life, which the elven race revered as their greatest treasure, cutting off the source of life for the elves.
Even more frighteningly, the combat style of these warriors, who originated as rangers, completely defied conventional logic. The endless array of diverse attack methods left the defending forces of the Demon-Sealing Continent dazzled and utterly defenseless.
Zaitong Port remained in the hands of the Maritime Trade Supervisorate. Evidently, the two tumens of troops under the Semu generals had not fully arrived, and there were barely a thousand soldiers in the city. Spreading them thin to control all four city gates of the million-strong Quanzhou Prefecture would be quite a feat in itself.
His words won the approval of most of the Franticians. Mendoza also felt that doing so would yield no real benefits, and moreover, abandoning the sea for the land to enter the Chen Family Village—which possessed a depth greater than Changdao—carried certain risks. Thus, he dismissed the idea of bombarding the Chen Family Village with cannons.
Carrying such a sweet dream, when Claudia closed her eyes, a faint, sweet smile still lingered at the corners of her mouth.
Wang Yu sighed. Could the Taiwanese trend of picking up girls have such a profound influence? What a societal tragedy. After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu decided not to waste his life and time here any longer. Stepping on the accelerator, the car drove back toward the company.
Hearing the witch-woman's voice, I breathed a sigh of relief, chanted the incantation, and slowly walked out of Mount Yunlong step by step, collapsing onto the ground from sheer exhaustion. The witch-woman said, "You child, how can you sleep right now? You should hurry up and put Mount Yunlong back where it belongs." Gathering my energy, I turned around, waved my hand, and sent the great mountain back to its original place.
Su Yang was not worried; once she sobered up, she would still remember tonight's events. After all, she was a practitioner, different from ordinary people.
"Where is the proof? Shut your mouth if you have no evidence!" Yang Kai slammed the table, causing the cups on the surface to rattle loudly.
They wanted to see with their own eyes whether this young man who had created miracles actually possessed three heads and six arms.
It was just a pity that Li Tianchen did not take his words to heart at all. After the nine-headed fire phoenix carried them forward at an increased speed, he turned around, returned to his quarters, and went back to researching something.
"Who knows? His strength was too great, and he threw it too far. I originally wanted to rely on my nose to find it back, but then it started to rain, washing away all the scents..." Erha sighed and said.
"Does that mean I should run away right now?" Landon said, seemingly to himself.
Beneath the moonlight, a beauty emerged from her bath. Even given Tang Feng's state of mind, he could not help but be somewhat dazed in the face of such lovely scenery.
Appearing fifth was the main team of Butterfly Flower Academy. Compared to the first two teams, the cheers from the audience were noticeably fewer. This was because, over the past three years, the main team of Butterfly Flower Academy had fallen off the pedestal of the top three and even dropped to fifth place. Not only had they been consecutively defeated for two years by a newly rising academy team, but they had also been stopped short of the top eight.
However, neither of the two present dared to say anything. Both had witnessed Landon in action and knew that this fair and tender skin was just an illusion; Landon's physical body was far more formidable than that of a veteran blacksmith.
As for Yun Xiu's death, the Heavenly King Sect would undoubtedly launch an investigation unaware of the truth. Since the Emperor of Wei knew the score, there was no need for Su Yang to concern himself with it.
In the end, although Ye Xuan obtained all ten volumes of Zeng Shan's meticulously studied books on the Zi Ping technique of destiny calculation, he lost the tenth, twelfth, and thirteenth matches. Furthermore, Zeng Shan's flawless performance in the final two matches clearly indicated that he had completely mastered the technique of generating perfect force amidst frictional resistance.
She did not even know when she had begun to detest Xu Fan. Perhaps it was because her parents intentionally tried to matchmake her and Xu Fan, or perhaps because of Xu Fan's weakness. Yet, following this recent incident, her aversion to Xu Fan had vanished as well.
Li Rusong was fierce and adept at combat. Initially inheriting his father's prestige, he was appointed as a chiliarch-commander in the regional military commission and served as a imperial guard officer for the Earl of Ningyuan. For his military achievements, he was promoted to assistant commissioner-in-chief and became the right deputy commander of the Divine Engine Camp. Later, he was promoted to the position of Regional Commander of Shanxi.
Faced with Liu Bian's threatening words, Han Zhongyan showed no reluctance or resentment whatsoever. Because Liu Bian was now the sovereign and Han Zhongyan was the subject, Liu Bian's words, though tinged with a threat, could not truly be considered mere threats, for Liu Bian remained the legitimate Emperor of the Great Han.
"Main Gods? With those fellows around, we royals are nothing more than puppets. They don't even dare let us possess power. Father King stood in awe of those fellows, but they are gone now. This country should be for us to call the shots!" Mentioning the Main Gods, the eldest prince displayed utmost disdain.
After Nian Yangxiao arrived here, he possessed a perverted ability: the power to temporarily bring space-time to a standstill, or rather, to slow down its flow. Xu Fan did not know if this would work on Yong'er, but regardless of its effectiveness, if he could not kill Nian Yangxiao, the best approach was to recruit him.
"Bad luck? Was the annihilation of the scientific expedition team back then caused by bad luck? Abnormal magnetic field phenomena are rare, but since this is a rarely visited zone of life's prohibition, all kinds of rare phenomena are possible," Tang Feng said.
"Does that mean the passengers trapped on the mountain are also saved?" Tang Feng suddenly asked Xu Renyu.
Xu Huiyi followed him with some concern, helping him find a change of clothes and adjusting the water temperature for him.
Toward the end of the extra rounds, it was Enrique—who had been suppressed for the previous three rounds—who seized the initiative in the match, pressing forward and attacking Sitthichai continuously. In the final thirty seconds, Enrique once again landed a rear hook punch that rocked Sitthichai somewhat.
Therefore, he pried open Gu Jingchen's audacious hand, pulled Mo Ran up, and firmly shielded her behind his back.
After devouring Young Master Shen, my judgment regarding the abilities of fierce ghosts was reasonably accurate. Though it was only a glance, I could conclude that this old ghost's combat power was likely not much inferior to that of Young Master Shen.
What Jian Ning was thinking about was not how Fu Tianze was doing; she actually felt quite like laughing. Gu Jingchen refused to back down even a single step; despite all the resolves he had made in the past, he had never been willing to truly take action, yet this time he was genuinely trying to kill her. How could she be willing to die just like that?
