Volume 1, Chapter 42: The Ulterior Motives of Han Qian

Countless corpses filled the entire bottom of the pit, layer upon layer. There were thousands of them, men and women, old and young, dressed in all sorts of attire. Moreover, the piles consisted mostly of severed limbs soaked in blood. Intestines, eyeballs, and fingers were scattered everywhere... A horrific sight! It was evident that almost all of these people had been killed with a single blow, slaughtered in a frenzy.

As the werewolf left, those who had been watching from the shadows also withdrew one by one. Either they deemed themselves no match for Liu Yi, or they were unwilling to engage in a battle to the death with him only to let others reap the benefits. After all, the combat prowess Liu Yi had displayed proved that he was truly not a person to be easily trifled with.

"It is getting late. You should go to sleep early, I must be going." Knowing that staying longer would serve no purpose, He Yunjian stood up and took his leave.

Because within the illusion realm that granted a recovery speed bonus, Hong Zhenying's combat capability was truly terrifying.

Yan Wei walked in carrying tea and pastries, just passing by him as he went out the door. Watching him leave, Yan Wei set down what she was holding.

This show-off attitude earned me a flurry of random punches, and they laughed and scolded me for being selfish. If I had known it would come to this, why act as I did in the first place, sigh! I brought them to the craftsman and had them sketch the weapon designs they liked so the craftsman could make them for them.

"I don't know, just go ahead!" Qingxuan maintained his usual demeanor. Truly worthy of being master and servant, they really were alike.

Seeming to sense Ye Mo's hesitation, Zhang Yixing gently patted the space beside him.

Having obtained these Five Elements Battle Puppets, this was the first time they had been completely suppressed by someone else in terms of sheer brute force.

I led everyone to the venue, where the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor were already waiting. I introduced my friends one by one to the Yellow Emperor, who invited them to sit and dine together. After taking a bite of the meat, I realized it was bland—I had forgotten to ask Cangjie to mention the matter of salt to the Yellow Emperor. I secretly exchanged a glance with Cangjie, and he nodded to show he understood.

Upon learning of this matter, Assistant Lin promptly notified Tang Yibei while contacting numerous magazine publishers and media outlets on his own to suppress the issue as much as possible. Arriving outside the company gates and seeing so many media reporters still fiercely interviewing Fang Liang, a momentary surge of irritation flashed through his heart.

I walked at the very end. Once everyone had broken through the encirclement, Lotus Girl immediately deployed her toxic smoke barrier behind her to block their pursuers.

At that very moment, the television broadcasted an urgent news flash, urging all citizens not to go outside as a shootout had broken out in the downtown area.

Suddenly, the ground around them began to tremble, and dust and sand were kicked up into the air. The hunter immediately realized that a fierce beast had appeared, which was why he hurriedly warned Gu Xiyuan. However, lacking such common sense, Gu Xiyuan failed to react in time.

This time, Cui Yingyu used all her strength to break free from Xia Zhichiu's grip, and then fiercely smashed the jade bracelet onto the ground. Looking at the fragments on the floor, Cui Yingyu finally recovered a sliver of her rationality.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Fu Jingheng, Cheng Yifei let go of Miao Fei and asked Fu Jingheng with a puzzled expression.

Otherwise, no one would bring up these matters to explain the situation in this manner. At first glance, this was clearly an attempt to sow discord, to drive a wedge between him and Xu Nan, and even to utilize the pressure of public opinion to tear them apart.

Tan Zhe nodded, touched his face, suppressed the anger in his heart, and hurried forward with a few quick steps to enter the city.

Everyone looked at Gu Xiyuan, then at the man beside her, seemingly trying to confirm whether these words were just a joke played on them for a moment. But seeing Mo Xuanyin's expressionless face and Gu Xiyuan's playful look, they all averted their eyes.

Watching Cheng Yifei into the ambulance, Cheng Xuanxuan left by herself. Upon returning to the Cheng residence and just finishing ranting about her unpleasant encounter to Yao Jing, someone came looking for them.

I accompanied Li Chengmin as she walked north. When we passed by Yushan and the others, Li Chengmin stopped and looked at him.

"Anything else is fine, but not this book. Forgive me." Oudenay seemed somewhat displeased.

Although he was still somewhat unaccustomed to fighting with the aid of the Divine Nong cauldron, Zhou You had already begun to form some ideas.

Not long after, Bai Youran did locate a spot situated at a corner on the edge of the central plaza area. It looked unassuming, but nearby was a path leading in and out of the plaza. Once the plaza became lively, there should be quite a steady stream of people coming and going.

The family to which Shangguan Yunhai belonged had been a lineage of military generals back when dynasties still existed. As a centuries-old ancient martial arts family, they naturally possessed knowledge of traditional Chinese martial arts and internal energy techniques. When shaking hands with Ye Fan, Shangguan Yunhai intended to covertly scheme against him, using internal force to crush the bones in Ye Fan's hand.

Aside from the legacy he obtained from the Fox Ancestor, Qin Wuyan had also acquired a skill called "Azure Cloud Heaven" within the fragments of time belonging to the Qishan Fox Clan.

As Yun暮 stepped forward, waves of mighty spiritual energy spewed forth from the eye of the reincarnation formation, and booming echoes resonated across the myriad mountains.

Seeing Lin Juntian's condition, Shui Ruoying's expression turned stern, snapping her out of her pleasant surprise. Sweeping her gaze across the crowd, she let out a soft cry and immediately sat cross-legged, closing her eyes to cultivate.

While Mu Jianfei waited patiently, about a cup of tea's time later, Gui Qingshan looked up from his deep thoughts, cast a solemn glance at the others, and spoke up.

A martial arts master once said: "Character determines the direction of martial arts." Looking at Handing's sword techniques, I became even more convinced of this statement. To say what Handing's style felt like to me, it was complex—a complexity imbued with extreme wisdom.

His subordinates swarmed toward the main gates, removing the wooden bar blocking them and then pulling the doors open with all their might.

Lin Jing hurriedly got up from the bed. Her brother-in-law had gotten off work so late, he must be starving, yet she had actually let her brother-in-law wait on her. Lin Jing felt rather embarrassed.

Meanwhile, at this very moment, all the members of the Nangong family rushed outward together and vanished from this place.

"What's so strange about that? If you're willing, you can also come work at the jewelry company I'm planning to set up, though the income won't be high—I'm just afraid you wouldn't be willing to stoop to it." Wufan already regarded Xian Shunqiang as a brother, knowing full well that someone like him, bent on making a big fortune, wouldn't condescend to work in a regular corporate enterprise.

However, he didn't dwell on it further and went straight outside to call a nurse to change Wang Yuan's quilt, inwardly muttering only that the medical environment in this hospital left much to be desired.

Yuan Quan gave it his all, gritting his teeth with a muffled roar as he squeezed out the very last bit of his potential. His speed abruptly surged again to fifty-five seconds, and the distance between the two of them closed bit by bit.

Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Lu Feng did not go home, but instead drove to Zhao Lu's place. After getting out and heading upstairs, Zhao Lu opened the door. Before she could clearly see who had come, scorching lips were already pressed against hers, and that familiar scent instantly made her body go weak.
