36 Hiring a Part-Time Worker (Revised)

Looking at these familiar faces, the memories sealed away in Jiang Yun’s mind surged forth in an instant.

The two joined forces to finish off the puppet, yet they were struck by a full-power blow from Qi Ganglie. Jiang Dong was sent flying backward, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood. All of Golden Donkey’s defensive weapons shattered instantly, and his body was nearly torn apart. The guillotine was knocked away, but fortunately, Jiang Dong was closer and managed to snatch it up.

"Amitabha..." The five high-ranking saintly monks pressed their palms together, chanting a Buddhist mantra that instantly filled the place with a sense of peace, like a gentle spring breeze. Yet, paired with the lake water stained crimson by blood, the scene appeared exceptionally eerie.

Everyone instinctively searched the surroundings, but finding no sign of the Flame Lord, a restlessness began to stir within them.

Using his chaos energy, Jiang Dong took turns unleashing the Hades' Three Furies, the Human Emperor's Three Furies, and the Diamond Subduing Demon Fist. These were the only three styles of martial arts he knew. Facing the dozen or so Shaolin techniques that Yue Heng unleashed in one breath, all he could do was remain constant to counter the ever-changing.

Watching Li Qianchou speed back to base to synthesize his jagged dagger into a Duskblade, the commentator Sunset remarked.

She felt a wave of dizziness and swayed, her body threatening to collapse. She hurriedly placed the child by the bedside and lay down.

Hou Yuebing smiled and signaled his subordinate to bring over a black briefcase. He opened it, withdrew a kraft paper envelope, pulled out a stack of banknotes, and tossed them into the manager's lap.

Once a soul is controlled, one becomes nothing more than a useless shell, left with no choice but to surrender meekly.

Suddenly, the void over there trembled. Before Chen Qingyang’s massive energy hand could arrive, a black streak of light burst out from the void, barely escaping disaster.

"Brother Lin, hold on a little longer. Although the Master of the Heavenly Gate is at the second level of the Earth Core stage, his martial arts execution is far too powerful. I need time to defeat him." After dodging the first movement of Ye Wushang’s Great Sorrow Palm, "Leveling Mountains and Seas," Shi Hao replied with conviction.

Fortunately, Ulu reacted in time, smoothing his energy and strengthening his constitution, which finally made up for the deficit.

However, the facts were already laid out before him; clearly, the princess was quite unhappy about his breaking of the engagement.

"Twenty seconds? Damn, even 'Great Dreams Like a Long Song' wouldn't dare boast like that!" Hengdao Xiangtianxiao was slightly annoyed. After his health and energy were fully restored, he didn't dodge or retreat, charging headlong toward Li Jiuyou.

A palm struck out, and in the center of Xu Wang’s palm, a bloody glow transformed into a hideous ghostly face.

It took eighteen days for Tang Cheng to fully refine all the white jade planets. Of course, this was only the preliminary refinement. To use them with the ease of moving one's own arm would require endless, meticulous labor, with time measured in hundreds or even thousands of years.

These genetically modified humans now held an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and compared to them, Ye Wei and Tang Xuan, being ordinary humans of average build, appeared somewhat at a disadvantage.

"There is quite a bit of gold and silver inside; take it all if you want." Zuo Dengfeng scanned the secret chamber, then turned and walked out.

Mu Die ate a red fruit, leaned against an ancient tree, and gazed at the sky, lost in a daze once more. Bao Tianyou, hidden in the shadows, heaved a heavy sigh. With his hands behind his back, he paced slowly to the mouth of the valley.

Tang Cheng thought about it and realized it was true. With his Wind and Thunder Wings, even if the enemy surrendered ten times over, they would never catch him. But the Wind Emperor lacked this ability; if he could create a glimmer of hope for him, it would at least honor their friendship.

I was rescued from the Snow Valley by Yun Tian, and now I lie on the bed, feeling powerless. My mind is filled with that nine-year-old face from the Snow Valley—an illusion so vivid that I wanted to spend my entire life trapped within it.

Sound, I believe, would captivate anyone who isn't deaf for a moment, and ordinary people would be so immersed in it that they would be unable to extricate themselves.

Afterward, I threw myself into intense and earnest training. I found that my memory had indeed improved significantly. Whether in retention or understanding, things were twice as effective with half the effort compared to before. About half a month later, the peaceful school life was shattered, and we had to enter the primeval forest once again.

Her voice was clear and shallow, carrying a faint chill, as if a cold wind had blown down from a snowy mountain, seeping directly into one's heart and spleen, making one shiver involuntarily.

These five soft words roared like rolling thunder in Qin Yibai’s ears. His heart churned and drummed, and for a moment, he was overcome with a complex mix of emotions.

Chen Kepeng tried to persuade Cui Dazheng, saying, "It is better to resolve grievances than to settle them." Since they had already taught Boss Bao and his men a lesson, it would be better to stop there; there was no need to escalate things further. Although Cui Dazheng was unwilling in his heart, seeing how firmly his elder brother insisted, he could only comply with the arrangement.

Within his capabilities. Seeing her lover like this, Lu Qiao'er calmed her mind instantly, took a deep breath, and gathered her soul power.

Politeness before force. Guo Xihao had originally intended to cooperate with them in a friendly manner, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so disrespectful. Since they wouldn't show him any courtesy, there was no need for him to be polite to them either.

"Let's go!" Straightening his body amidst the mocking tone of those around him, Guo Xihao turned and left the room.

In other words, if thirty thousand people were involved and ten thousand voted for the Red Team, the Red Team would receive ten thousand points, which would then be scored by the twenty-five cadets.

Thinking of this, he could only look at Wuxin; this old-yet-not-quite-old fellow definitely knew more than he did.

"Your power is too strong. Come into my Void Illusion; don't break my home." Seeing Huang Tian attacking him without a word, Phoenix tossed out a handkerchief-like object, which instantly scooped Huang Tian inside. Then, with a flicker, she vanished and entered it as well.
