51 Usurping the Han Dynasty (23)

"Since the professor has said so, there shouldn't be any issues with the equipment," Jerome said.

Command after command was issued directly by the families within these cities or by the City Lord's Mansion, and powerful figures immediately rushed toward the City of Crouching Dragon.

Upon receiving the message delivered by Bi Nian, Han Han wore a face full of sorrow, never expecting this moment to arrive after all. Recalling how imposing the majestic eighty-thousand-strong army had been when crusading against the Ziqi Kingdom, even someone of Han Han's standing now found himself at a loss as to how to face the situation.

"Let's head to the console first," Professor Jerry said, walking directly toward the direction of the control panel.

However, Officer Liang still did not plan to buy it. In this era of war, two silver dollars could accomplish a great deal and save many lives. Officer Liang was no ordinary person; he was the guardian deity of the entire Yangcheng, bearing a heavy responsibility, so he still shook his head.

In my field of vision, a massive tear had ripped open in space and time, and a powerful suction force pulled me in, sweeping me away before I even had a chance to struggle.

Goethe had not yet figured out where he would go or what he would do after leaving the island, yet he had already boarded the ship.

Xu Bai could not help but wonder if Ji Heng from his past life had turned into a zombie while returning to Rongcheng to look for his parents.

The first floor was not even half full, while the second floor had only a sparse few students engaged in heated discussions.

"How is it? Have any life signatures been detected?" Professor Jerry asked, glancing at Kemi beside him.

With the spiritual platform as the axis, twelve starlight sword pillars descended from the dome canopy, arranged in left and right columns corresponding to twelve white jade Taoist platforms.

As it turned out, Zhang Gui had once learned the Eight Trigrams boxing and palm techniques, which blended hardness with softness and embodied deep Daoist principles. They demanded rigorous internal kung fu, making Zhang Gui's internal energy as profound and surging as roaring waves. Plucking flowers barehanded relied entirely on his internal strength, which amounted to nothing in his eyes.

After a slight hesitation, Duanchou reached out and grasped the long banner. Immediately, the flag vibrated, lifting without wind, and the surging demonic energy scattered within the sword array gathered like a tide. The entire banner instantly ignited with ghostly white flames, burning fiercely and unceasingly.

"It's very, very difficult, and the chance of failure is extremely high!" Fei Xuan nodded, her expression turning slightly solemn.

Although over the millenniums, very few individuals could be definitively identified as Awakened of Heaven, a few did exist. Those widely known individuals could be considered the cream of the crop among the Awakened of Heaven, and they bore another title: "The Abyss Walkers."

"Brother Su, these diamonds of yours are already finished products. As for packaging, adding a few platinum ring bands and gemstones won't cost much. Given our relationship, don't even mention the fees, or I'll get angry." Zhang Duanwei naturally would not miss such an opportunity to grow closer to Su Cheng.

"Wait, what are you doing? Can the Law Enforcement Hall just arrest people at will?" Hong Tian stepped forward and demanded sharply.

However, the existence of monstrous fish in the water caused He Zheng's heart to sink at the time. Every single bite those strange fish inflicted upon her was felt with absolute clarity by He Zheng.

Realizing that he was still with Huo Bing today, he felt somewhat uneasy, so without daring to overthink it, he immediately drove to the Huo family villa.

The bullet surged forward with a scorching temperature toward the skeletal mask's brow, its speed exceeding the speed of sound. The skeletal mask seemed truly foolish, neither dodging nor evading, remaining exposed atop the armored vehicle like a model showcasing a designer's latest creations on the runway.

Just as the beasts leaped forward in excitement, they failed entirely to notice that all around them, right beside the towering trees, countless tiny golden specks were drifting. Faintly, these golden specks connected to form countless lines.

"I have a medicine here that is exceptionally good for treating gunshot wounds. Shall I bring it for you?" A flash of worry crossed Yuan Muze's eyes, though it was indeed caught by Jing Muxuan.

That huge venom gland swelled up out of anger, resembling a balloon being slowly inflated. Xue Yun watched and applauded in admiration, still completely unaware of the mistake.

Gu Yu appeared before the Octopus King wielding a spiritual sword. If anything truly needed to be said, he really ought to thank the Octopus King before him; had it not been for its continuous draining of his already overtaxed body, perhaps things would not have come so easily.

That Xu Yang had embezzled funds was an ironclad certainty laid out before Zhao Yun and the ministers. Though among these ministers, a tiny fraction still refused to believe that Xu Yang—who in their eyes had always been frugal—could be guilty of corruption.

Facing the hulking, sturdy man charging at him, Gu Yu dared not be careless. Without knowing the opponent's true strength, he chose to wait for the enemy to make the first move. Facing a foe stronger than himself, Gu Yu could not afford the slightest flaw, so neither of them moved for fear of exposing a weakness and being struck down by the other.

Yet due to their inferiority and fear, they had lost any fundamental will to fight. Consequently, the city now felt entirely like a boat drifting in a violent storm.

Upon hearing Mu坤's words, the exhausted soldiers suddenly experienced a surge of renewed spirit.

Because Xiaoyu was now nearing a state of madness, people outside the hospital watched in astonishment as the surrounding flowers, grass, and green leaves withered entirely. For reasons unknown, a single ray of sunlight stood out with striking brilliance, its light shining unceasingly into a certain hospital room.
