35 Sudden Rain at Night
Suddenly, Gu Xi heard an unusual sound, like a stomach rumbling, accompanied by a sense of nausea.
Upon realizing this, Ling Yi did not hesitate and immediately took all six Thunder-Fire Pearls from his storage ring. He picked one up, channeled his true essence into it, and hurled it toward a densely packed area of demonic beasts.
"Understood! We will be careful! But how long will it take for you to help Mengqi recover?" Li Hao asked, looking at Ye Feng.
Luo Xiangdan curiously examined the leg bone of an unknown demonic beast in his hand. The strange patterns arranged on it were intricate; did they perhaps serve some mysterious purpose?
The battle was imminent, and the members of both factions gripped their weapons, poised for action. At that moment, the Green Gang’s formation suddenly split in two.
Seeing Xiao Ya rushing toward him with a mountain-cleaving blade, the tall man sneered. He discarded his scabbard and assumed a fighting stance. His sword was specially crafted, a full thirty centimeters longer than a standard blade. Its handle was long enough to be gripped with both hands, and the edge shone with an extraordinary, icy luster.
"Indeed, using a Void-Ascension level cultivator as a suicide soldier—tell me, do you belong to the Eastern Clan or the Western Clan?" Lu Yue asked, puzzled.
The only pity was not knowing whether anything remained of the demon wolf, though after such a powerful self-detonation, it was unlikely anything could have remained intact.
Ye Feng took the form, which mainly required filling in the mercenary group’s name and the creator, the commander. After filling it out, he handed it to the NPC receptionist. The NPC took the form, applied a seal, and then produced an object resembling a crystal ball, handing it to Ye Feng.
"What?! You have the Glazed Jade on you?" Ling Tian suddenly leaped from his seat. His speed could only be described as teleportation; in an instant, he was before Ye Feng, his hands gripping Ye Feng’s shoulders as if afraid he might run away. His eyes burned with such intensity that it made Ye Feng’s skin crawl.
"The Six-Pointed Profound God Sect? I've heard of it, I've heard of it! The name has five characters, which is quite rare, so I remembered it the first time I heard it," the stall owner said excitedly.
Since becoming the ‘Lady’ of Lingtian City, Shangguan Wan’er had helped Ling Luo without a single complaint. However, this could not last indefinitely; without proper standing, it would inevitably affect how others perceived her.
After glancing at Leng Aoyun, Leng Aoyue turned her head, her eyes fixed on the screen, sparkling with a strange light. No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
"I’ve designed a plan concerning Qi Yunsheng; give me your thoughts from a technical perspective," Zhang Fei said to Dong Xuecheng, always getting straight to the point. The two did not seem to get along well, so they rarely exchanged pleasantries, preferring to speak only of business.
Gu Canglan felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this, and a fleeting hint of a smile flashed in his bell-sized eyes.
Ling Luo nodded. Having clever people around him had this benefit: some things did not require explicit orders to be executed. While obeying the sovereign’s commands was important, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances could not be ignored. Otherwise, if an emergency arose where reporting back was impossible, those who only knew how to follow orders would truly cause a disaster.
Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, this was merely an excuse he had concocted to kill him, intended to show that no matter how powerful or arrogant one was, they were nothing but an ant in his presence.
Lang Tianya was running with her tucked under his arm. Her left hand happened to be pressed against his waist, and their skin was in contact. It was through this touch that Lang Tianya transmitted these words using the Dark Realm Communication Technique. She then realized that although he was sprinting downstairs, he did not seem to be using any internal energy at all.
"No. It’s Feng Juan; she might have discovered something. Let me handle this." With that, Yu Qianhua entered the game.
Had they not been fighting like this for the past week? There were even times when both sides engaged in direct firepower exchanges, locked in a stalemate. This was the proper way for two armies to engage; why had the Chinese army suddenly changed its style?
Yan Ming shielded Xi Lan and retreated to the back of the tent. Blade light rained down upon them. Yan Ming fought back desperately, while Xi Lan constantly dodged, terrified of harming the child in her arms.
In truth, she hadn't thought much about it before coming. She had simply heard that this eldest prince was incredibly formidable despite his youth, and she was both unconvinced and curious, intending to follow along and observe closely. But when she finally reached his side, Guan Qingyue was stunned.
Wind rustled the leaves in the forest. Feng Yue looked up at the mottled sky, squinting as she slowly recalled the past.
They were currently in Dugu Town, surrounded by civilian houses. Half of them had been destroyed when the Feng Kingdom conquered the area, leaving the place desolate and filled with sorrow.
"Jinhua, it’s dark!" His voice came clearly through the rain, his eyes filled with a concern as pervasive as spring rain, piercing to the heart.
It was impossible that Bai Yi was unaware of the common knowledge that composite armor required composite ceramics. However, he truly did not want to share this secret with the Soviets, for he was well aware that the current Sino-Soviet honeymoon would be short-lived. In a few years, the two countries would break apart completely due to various reasons, reaching the brink of war.
The door opened and closed. The innocent and lovely maid was sent away without suspecting a thing. Feng Yue sighed in relief, moved her aching hand, and turned to look at the person by the couch.
As he said this, a look of pride reappeared on Hindenburg’s fat face. His deep-seated arrogance did not stem from the strength of the U.S. military, but from the fact that he himself was already formidable.
"Are you laughing at Jinhua, my lord?" She felt somewhat flustered. She tried to take off her boots, but even kicking them off shouldn't have been this difficult; why was it that when these boots were on someone else's feet, they were so hard to remove?
South of Kuizhou City and north of Chendu City, there was a dense array of tents stretching as far as the eye could see. If nothing else, based on the sheer number of tents, there was a force of at least one hundred thousand men.
By the time he finally awoke, this had happened. Dongfang Qingyue guessed that Ning Ye must have fallen victim to the demon’s trickery.
Miss Dan was right, Lian Zhan pondered for a moment and agreed. The dozen or so people headed toward the cliff together to rescue Ran Fei.
Rune’s army advanced, abandoning all the territory they had previously occupied. Even the unfinished fortress of Wolf Fang Castle was to be burned and dismantled.
"Roar!" The variegated spider let out a hiss, and its eight legs immediately left the white wolf’s body as it chased into the woods.
At this moment, Yu Liuming was even more certain that the appearance of Shui Roubing and Shui Shaoyun at the Prime Minister’s residence could not possibly be a coincidence. Since the other party had already reached an understanding, he needed to respond with caution.
