Principle 55
Xuan Xing handed his communication bead to him, and Feng Xuan left his spiritual imprint inside it so that they could contact each other at any time in the future.
Yue Zhong pointed at the twenty-odd Xenomorphs, and those four sinister bloody lights swept directly across them like vicious dragons.
Not daring to fly on her sword, Xu Wanqing could only run wildly across the ground. The golden light struck the side of her face, illuminating the glistening beads of sweat. Her gaze was resolute, shining with a faint inner light that made one feel she could charge through a mountain of blades or a sea of fire should it lie ahead.
Then Diarmuid appeared in Ulquiorra's blind spot, thrusting his Gae Dearg forward to pierce the dodging-free Ulquiorra's flank.
"Have it your way." Long Li had spent some time with Xuan Xing and understood his temperament. If Xuan Xing was truly determined to do something, no one could persuade him otherwise, so Long Li ceased trying to advise him.
Every round of training was a decisive battle; to advance brought one a step closer to astronaut qualification, while to fall behind meant packing up and rolling back home.
"Alright." Annie closed her eyes to think for a moment, then began pacing around the room. She swung her arms vigorously, took large strides, and wore a nonchalant expression on her face.
After a very long time, Halle Berry finished her four-minute continuous acceptance speech with great excitement, and Wang Yang walked with her toward the backstage with a smile.
After a lapse of more than twenty years, Chu He set foot on Startling Heart Peak once again, yet the scenery here remained almost identical to how it was back then. However, in Chu He's eyes, it was vastly different from the past; at the very least, the illusion formation on the peak was now completely transparent to him.
Ten million troops might seem like a huge number, but consider how the Corpse God and Skeleton tribes mobilized two to thirty million members at once just to attack the Profound Heart Sect back then. While those soldiers varied in strength, their overall power undoubtedly surpassed the ten million troops Zhao Suo currently commanded.
Amidst the chilling winds and gloomy fog, shadowy figures loomed, making it impossible to discern the identity of the speaker even when gathering spiritual consciousness.
"Uh... about that..." Tang Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you for the concert tickets." In fact, he had already thought about apologizing to Wang Yiqing since it was indeed his fault, which prompted him to say these words.
"Fold this hand." A hand suddenly reached out from the side and covered up Lear's cards. Lear turned his head and couldn't help freezing for a moment. Chestnut-brown long hair, a gentle smile—who else could it be but Edith?
Cao Ge could not bear to tire Li Jing'er out, so he finally carried her back, dressed her, and held her tightly in his arms.
Yun Hai was also slightly surprised. Initially, he thought this was the ruin of a royal city. If Dr. Lu's words were true, what kind of reason could possibly cause an entire kingdom to be buried together? It was simply unbelievable.
Amidst everyone's alarmed cries, a figure suddenly flickered. Before he could react, Cheng Feng was grabbed by the collar by Gongsun Yu and slammed heavily onto the ground, leaving him utterly dizzy and unable to crawl back up for a long time.
Zhuge Liang's inspiration was thoroughly ignited, and he excitedly said, "That's right, we can arrange iron spikes in the middle of the river. When their ships come over, we'll pierce their hulls and let them show off in the water!" Cruel plots hatched from the minds of two seemingly righteous men.
Ye Zilu and Gao Yue circled the yellow jade sandalwood tree several times. After a long while, each selected a thick branch and gently snapped it off with their hands. With a wave, the branches vanished into thin air. Thinking they had stored the branches in their storage vessels, Yu Feng and the others paid it no mind.
Actually, Zhang Liao did not know that Lü Bu had not wanted to deploy this elite force so early. Fearing that Zhang Liao could not hold off Cao Cao, he had thrown this force, forged purely with vast wealth, onto the battlefield. Naturally, he would never let Zhang Liao know his true motive.
If he stayed any longer, Qiao Ye's glare would probably pierce a hundred or eighty holes in him.
"Forgive this younger sister for feeling unwell; I shall take my leave first." Consort Yan stood up, supported by her maid Cuilan.
A light was on on the sixth floor. Qin Mu raised his head to look up, unable to see anything through the curtains, yet he was confident that Tan Yun was watching him from behind them.
Shen Tianqing also felt deeply aggrieved. Seeing the plan proceeding smoothly, who could have foreseen that Feng Qingye would crash in halfway, not only poisoning Shangguan Xuan to death but also abducting the crown-prince-to-be's dearest sweetheart. Moreover, Shangguan Duo was pressing step by step, and the situation in Chang'an City was on a knife-edge. How could Hua Lingyu possibly walk away at a time like this?
In truth, the match between the two was akin to a game of go, where the board encompassed all creation, the territory represented the anomalies of heaven and earth, and their influences were their respective divine powers.
Feng Qingye looked somewhat nostalgically at the ancient tree by the wall and the swing beneath it—that was his favorite place during childhood. His birth mother would gently push him on the swing from behind, smiling with infinite tenderness.
"Imperial Uncle, please don't be like this. If Mother's spirit in heaven were to see you looking like this, she would be saddened..." Looking at Shen Tianqing in this state, Shangguan Rui felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Xin'er, why are you here?" Zihan lay leisurely on the chaise lounge, casually eating pastries.
Xu Lizi recalled that back then, Gu Lanwen had fought until her hair was completely disheveled, making her truly unrecognizable.
On the other side, Xiao Jingyan, accompanied by Fan Shui and Liusha, traversed the dense forest. Following the bloody stench, they finally arrived at a scene reeking of carnage an hour later.
"The Truth Sequence!" Zero replied coldly with just those four words. With a wave of her delicate hand, the man's program data was completely wiped out, and his very existence vanished forever.
When yesterday's banquet dishes were served, he had figured that this lunch plus dinner wouldn't be cheap, but surely a few hundred thousand would cover it? Yet he never expected that he had still underestimated the cost.
"Do you know how many subordinates Bai Shuiling has whose strength matches mine? The two hidden monstrous prodigies of the Five Elements Sect and the God-Moving Sect have both defected to him..." Yumeir spoke somewhat hurriedly.
