Volume 1 Chapter 55: Rotten Meat Hell 12: The Giant Serpent

While Lin Xiangru was entirely consumed by how to suppress him and how to avoid extra trouble, what the other man thought of was the fate of the country.

Now, it seemed that only Huangfu Zhaoyang remained as the viable choice. Since he could not defeat him in a fight, he would simply use him to accomplish his mission.

Feng Yangguang and Zhang Chong returned to their seats. However, Zhang Chong sat as though there were sharp thorns on the chair, constantly poking at him and making him restless.

Zhao Kuo was a youth of eighteen or nineteen, right at the age when he loved to show off his skills. Failing to ever receive recognition from his father, Lord Chang'an's praise instantly struck the right chord. He immediately grinned and began to boast about military strategy and the art of war to Lord Chang'an.

What? There have already been several batches, and why do we know nothing about it? Furthermore, why didn't you mention anything and just handled it all by yourself?

Feng Yangguang headed straight for the office, as he still had other matters to attend to, such as establishing a rating system for supernatural incidents to make them easier to handle.

Faced with Lady Li's tearful weeping like pear blossoms drenched in rain, Xiao Yan could not muster any lingering anger, no matter how great it had been.

Indeed. His father was definitely not someone who made decisions easily. What on earth could have made him change his mind?

Actually, compared to the styles Zhou Qingmiao had seen in her past life, these two designs were still somewhat rustic. Of course, they were still quite fashionable for this era, and wearing them out would undoubtedly draw the envy of many classmates. As expected, whether a garment looked good or not always came down to comparison, whereas some clothing would forever remain classic, never going out of style no matter how it was worn.

There were indeed plenty of mosquitoes that season. The large bumps swollen on Liu Tianxia's forehead after lingering by the doorway for a while made that abundantly clear.

Huang Qing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly and clumsily took the ring, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

Although the Leader had grown much fatter now, its combat prowess was undeniable. Having reigned supreme and undefeated among all the dogs in the village, the glorious battle achievements from its leaner days ensured that its offspring could run rampant across the entire village.

Looking at the golden-red flames blazing all over Mo Fan's body and feeling the terrifying power contained within those flames, Yang An's expression could not help but change drastically.

"It is a pity that the Great Zen Temple accumulated wealth comparable to a nation, only to end up with its temples destroyed and its people scattered in the end." Looking at the boundless wealth before him, Hong Yi felt very little fluctuation in his heart, even finding it somewhat laughable.

A robustly built middle-aged man rushed out from the bridal procession, cupping his hands in a salute toward the Constable.

Yet now, judging by sheer strength, Li Qiang indeed far surpassed the two of them! Naturally, a strange sentiment arose within both of them.

Wu Dayang raised an eyebrow, slightly furrowing his brow as he sized up Li Qiang. Li Qiang calmly returned the look and said indifferently.

Three consecutive flashes of lightning, accompanied by thunderclaps, drove three heavy hammers into the hearts of people who were already walking on tenterhooks, terrified that the rain might flood their homes.

Yang Cheng could not care less. "Of course, with television and online platforms exerting efforts simultaneously, I can't think of a better way to boost public discussion and heat."

Sitting opposite Darius with an indignant huff, Gela glared fiercely at him. Unfortunately, her alluring beauty had no effect on Darius, and her bewitching glances were completely wasted.

Gently picking up an arrow, an icy sensation instantly transmitted from the shaft. The temperature was so low that even Darius could not help shivering.

Wen Zhong's right arm was gone, his armor was blasted to shreds, and his right eyeball protruded from its socket, yet such a gruesome sight was completely devoid of a single drop of blood.

"I'm coming right up!" Li Shimin straightened his collar and walked to the door. Just as he pulled it open, he saw Niu Zhuangzhuang's face contorted with anger. Niu shoved Li Shimin aside and strode directly into the room.

Li Xiang stood up, gently patted him to signal him to sit down first, and then said, "Old sir, just now you substituted Confucius's ideas for your own. I think that is probably inaccurate." He explicitly told Wang Tong that these were his own thoughts and should not be attributed to Confucius.

Having failed to secure a firm footing, Wen Zhong could only retreat to dodge. At that very moment, Qin Ruo flicked his wrist, and the Exorcism Sword flew out, controlled by his spiritual power as it sped toward Wen Zhong's left eye.

A wisp of emerald-green flame flew from his fingertips. He had no other choice; getting anywhere close meant freezing solid, but this operation was planned and premeditated, involving more than just him alone.

"Yes, the consequences of this matter are severe. Senior Brother Yu Hailong and Protector Yu Shicai are going to take a hit this time. Above all, it depends on the outcome of the year-end decisive battle, but the facts are right there! Although Qin Ruo has some tricks, he is a brainless fellow." Kou Yue had never considered that Qin Ruo possessed the strength to stand up to Yu Hailong.

Her gaze was extremely resolute at that moment. Everyone could sense there was a deeper meaning to her words, yet it was hard to guess what was hidden beneath them.

Among these three factions, Lin Han valued the Diancang Sect the most, for they excelled in archery. Should war truly break out, they would prove immensely useful on the battlefield. Of course, discussing war at present was still premature, but that did not hinder Lin Han from attempting to win them over.

"Listen to me, once your good husband arrives, you will apologize properly to me! You must remember that you are already married water poured out. If you wish for a separation, don't even think about returning to the Cui family." Cui Wanshan ranted like a violent storm, yet he did not hear a single word of rebuttal from Nuosha, not even the sound of crying.

Scarcely had he turned his head back when Uchiha Yu ruthlessly delivered a personality-correction punch straight to his cheek.

"The Qingming Sect is ascending to the upper realm? What are they trying to do? Could it be that they intend to make a move against the upper realm?" The expressions of the four Golden Immortals shifted once more, their previously relaxed demeanor turning grave again.

Afterward, no one else dared to test it further, fearing that the outcome would be identical to those few individuals.

Wu Huang was no pushover either. While Kong Jian and Tang Yanxin pursued him and unleashed sword qi, he hurriedly executed the "Mount Tai Shift" technique, forcibly moving ten meters sideways through the air.
