Volume 1, Chapter 24: Heroic Might in Desperation Shatters the Great Peril

The ghostly blue runes flickered like breathing, brightening and dimming in turn. Reflected across Lin Fan’s face, they lent him an even graver air.

Yao Ziqing packed the seven walking sticks, the tools for making peach-blossom cakes and wine, her everyday necessities, and anything else that could be carried away into her spatial pouch.

As he plunged into and merged with the sea of mist, Mu Zhicheng’s shrill cry still seemed to reverberate in his ears. Rong Li’s head rang from the shock, and all the tenderness of the moment had turned into nothing but illusion.

Li Sihui smiled and took a step backward. She was not afraid of being bitten by a venomous snake; the system could naturally help her neutralize the poison.

His entire body basked in the early-autumn sunlight, and beneath its radiance, his face appeared so peaceful and serene.

With such powerful leverage over Meng Wanhua and Meng Chuyue, did she still need to fear that they would disobey? Did she still need to worry that she would not be able to live well?

She lay flat on the bed, her feet resting on the quilt spread across the floor. Shang Lu sat at her feet, gently applying medicine to her wounds.

The female wolf beastkin called Ayi stared fixedly at Aye’s back, a surge of fury rising in her chest. In the end, however, she managed to suppress it.

Tong Wen wanted to say it was not enough, but she did not have much money on her, and Yun Si had not given her any just now. At thirty yuan per half-kilogram, two hundred jin of fruit would cost six thousand yuan. That was already an outrageous sum.

Within the Tengzhou Branch of the Black Crow Gang, Ping Qiu, sharp-eyed enough to see through their purpose at a glance after learning that Elder Qingfan had gone secretly to the Underground City, began squatting in Elder Qingfan’s room and throwing a childish tantrum.

She had spent the entire afternoon setting up mechanisms and traps, yet she had not seen a single one of those people from Bone Rock Cave except Wukui. And just after the traps had been completed, one of Bone Rock Cave’s gaunt figures suddenly appeared at the end.

It seemed that the quantum glasses were effective only against ordinary goblins. A slight mutation in a mountain sprite was enough to render them useless.

The changes in the ocean were far more violent than those on land. At first, however, they still posed no threat to an advanced weapon such as a nuclear submarine.

Without rules, nothing can be kept in order. In every era, social stability requires certain rules and a degree of order to maintain it.

Unlike Ye Lan, the others could not understand the words of the spirit beast. They did not know what the Firefeather Crane was saying, but they could still hear the terror in its cries.

Shi Fan rarely spoke with the two of them in ordinary times, and had never spent time alone with either of them. Thus, when they reached the lounge, although the three of them sat in a row, Ding Fan and Zhao Yechen were the ones whispering to each other.

The moment they entered, they saw Xu Hao lying on the ground, apparently back to normal. His chest was still rising and falling, however, which meant he was not dead.

“Let’s talk inside. I’ll show you a few things while we’re at it.” After saying this, Chi Jiang nodded toward the security guard standing watch nearby.

He then extracted some blood from the mantis demon, mixed it with the blood of the blue elf, and made a medicinal solution.

The Wind Wolf, which had climbed up from the ground, let out a loud howl, urging the few useless teammates lagging behind to hurry forward. Otherwise, they would have succeeded just now—but they had missed their chance.

The day he married Fang Li, he handed this card to her. During all this time, Gu Zhaoting knew that Fang Li had not touched a single cent in it.

If even helping Shen Yinong had to be erased, Chi Yu could no longer think of any way to preserve the last thread connecting him to her. Since she wanted freedom, then he would give it to her.

In any case, he possessed a Mother Qi Root, which could continuously produce Primordial Yellow Mother Qi. He might as well take whatever small advantage he could.

He pressed the tip of his tongue against the soft flesh inside his cheek, straightened his posture, and gathered a cold, sinister gleam in his eyes, as though he were about to bare his bloodstained maw.

Even more astonishing was that Elder Ma Yun, a cultivator of the Divine Bridge Realm, could actually find common ground with Old Uncle Jiang, an ordinary mortal. Later, after making inquiries, they learned that before Elder Ma Yun had embarked on the path of cultivation, he had also been a merchant. Whenever he discussed with Old Uncle Jiang his experiences of opening a restaurant in his early years, he became utterly unstoppable.
