Chapter 24

Upon returning, Zhu Wangshu was struggling to rise from the bed when Wuyang stepped forward in a flash to steady her.

Xia Yan felt a surge of joy and stepped forward, ready to open the wooden chest. Just then, he heard footsteps behind him. He spun around to see a pursuer wearing a black mask closing in.

Why would Lin Jiajia hand over the fruits of her company's hard work to others, suffering a loss of tens of millions? What possible benefit could this bring her?

After a day of buzz, everyone in the base knew about the cooling suit, though for now, only the construction workers were equipped with them.

Zhao Xuanyu looked at the young man before him. He recognized him; he was a top-tier talent he had recruited at a high price shortly after taking over the company.

The monster before them let out a deafening roar at the glare of the searchlight, spraying a stream of foul-smelling green pus toward the watchtower.

Seeing that the mooncake box could be unfolded into a lantern, Brother Yong was instantly confident that it would be a bestseller.

Not only was she beautiful, but she came from an incredibly wealthy family; upon graduation, she became the president of a subsidiary her father had created for her.

Seeing that the intruder had been shot down, the mutant guardians and armored soldiers dared not relax in the slightest. That fellow Beicang had escaped too many times before; such a barrage of fire should have been impossible for him to dodge.

"What is the third rule?" Li Mu asked, curious about the final regulation. The first two had already severely limited Chu Yun’s abilities.

There were naturally some happy and some disappointed in the arena, but it was still better than the scene earlier, when almost the entire crowd had been hurling insults after Bite’s victory.

Ma Yi swung his spear with the finesse of a master deflecting a thousand pounds with a mere four ounces of force, sending a massive volley of stray arrows hurtling back toward Chen Xin and his soldiers.

Therefore, although Disney had yet to respond to MGM’s relentless pressure, they would certainly not renege on their debts—that was not something to worry about.

"Is this guy a newbie? Daring to use an area-of-effect attack in public. Good thing I have a shield," remarked a student holding a large shield, still reeling from the shock.

Gently extending her hand to push the door open, a burst of intense light stung her eyes. Na Zi couldn't help but raise her arm to shield her vision.

People are like that; when they are in pain, they want to go far away, drifting in places where no one knows them. But after drifting for too long, one grows weary. Once the wounds in their heart have mostly healed, they find themselves wanting to dive back into the very world that once left them covered in scars.

This was the place Sima Chengzhen and Xuanyunzi had settled in after arriving in Suizhou. Located on the outskirts of Chengping County, the Taoist temple was small but the environment was quiet and secluded, perfectly suiting the tastes of such free spirits.

Since he had shared information about an entrance with the Xuan Alliance, Xiao Zhan could not let them reap the benefits without effort. They had to provide sufficient manpower and resources, and take full responsibility for all supply logistics.

The clapper of the night watchman drifted lazily through the night sky, and the entire city slept soundly.

Weapons made from metal substitutes on the Qin Continent would be enough to turn Jasmine City upside down; there was no need to put up with this kind of nonsense from the Black Butterfly.

"I’m giving you a chance, but today..." Zhu Tong leaned in closer and whispered something into Yangzi’s ear.

Just like that, I wandered around aimlessly for a while. Seeing the moon beginning to set, I realized it was already the middle of the night, yet I still hadn't found a place to sleep.

"Hundred-Ring Aurora Barrier!" Daoist Long was startled. He waved his hands repeatedly, and seven-colored light shimmered before him as he erected barrier after barrier. In an instant, hundreds of shields were deployed to block the torrent of Eight Trigrams energy.

The Nightmare Horse entered the Savage City without obstruction. The bridge rose once more, cutting off any chance for enemies to enter, as Pan Qi rode the Nightmare Horse all the way into the city.

After all, Fan Wuping’s flood control efforts were not exhaustive; there were simply too many problems for him to solve alone.

"Kill him!" The disciples of the Zhanlan Sect turned bloodshot with rage. Ignoring the Heavenly Mechanism Tube, they charged at Mo Feng. However, apart from Ye Wu’s senior brother, the rest were merely Body Realm cultivators. To Mo Feng, these people posed no threat at all.

This made Fan Wuping angry. Without any visible movement, four or five security guards were sent flying. Although they weren't severely injured, they lay on the ground moaning and groaning, clearly dazed from the impact.

Zhu Tong followed the convoy to Jiaxue Garden, hoping to take the opportunity to observe whether Tian Xuyang was truly insane or just pretending.

After a night of charging, when the dawn finally broke, the battle flags of Yuyang and the great "Mo" standard were finally planted at the highest point of the Savage City. Countless soldiers and generals wept! They cried like children, for they all knew they had accomplished a legend—a legend their predecessors had only dared to imagine but never dared to attempt.

With the help of the reconnaissance robots, he made gains within just a few minutes, having already discovered several clues hidden in the shadows of the Dragon's Nest.

"Hmph!" Hu Chaoxian looked on with disdain. He suddenly increased the force on his blade and declared, "All paths of goodness return to one—disperse!" As he withdrew his sword, the force caused Ba Shisi’s short blade to be ripped from his palm.

In truth, what Ruoli feared was not the torture they might inflict upon her, but that Zeye would take the blame for shielding her.
