A thunderous boom erupted, like lightning striking on a clear day, shaking the very air around them.

Duan Wuhen’s gaze blazed. A flash of icy light crossed his eyes, and he attacked without the slightest hesitation.

His figure moved like lightning, closing the distance to the old man in an instant. His right fist, carrying an overwhelming force, shot straight toward him.

The punch was astonishingly fast and terrifyingly powerful, as though it had gathered all the hatred and fury Duan Wuhen had harbored for years. It crashed viciously into the old man’s chest.

The old man had no time to mount any effective defense. His entire body was sent flying by that tremendous force like a kite with its string cut.

His body traced an arc through the air before slamming down hard...

The True Dream had consumed far too much of his origin power, and scarcely any of the fundamental law force remained. It was difficult for him to maintain his peak combat strength for long.

Jiang Bin hesitated, but in the end he did not stop him. At present, Chen Feng was his only hope. Even if he failed to undo it, the worst that would happen was that the situation would remain as it was. What he could not allow was for Chen Feng to forcefully break the seal as Qin Yan had done.

Moreover, after the strange incident just now, the meticulous Zhao Yun had vaguely begun to suspect that the body of their Great Qi Emperor possessed qualities unlike those of ordinary mortals, and that Yuan Fang was concealing a secret from them.

Her red lips moved slightly beneath her chestnut hair. Her bright brown-black eyes reflected the monster’s hideous face. Though the creature was mere inches away, her exquisite features remained utterly calm.

What could possibly have caused the legendary Black Flood Dragon to suffer such terrible injuries and die? For some reason, Chen Feng suddenly thought of the strange man he had seen earlier, and an inexplicable sense of panic seized him.

In any case, when Su Ke had left the capital back then, he had given her all the wealth that the Marquis of Zhenning’s household could not take with them. As for the treasures of the Daoist priest from Three Purities Mountain, they were enough to buy the loyalty of an entire legion.

Second Life chewed forcefully. Not the slightest trace of emotion could be found on his rigid face. The air fell briefly silent, broken only by the grinding sound of his teeth and lips.

Hades swept his eyes across the room. Aside from Kashya, several Rogues were standing guard nearby.

Although Freezing Ten Meters was merely a control skill, if the disparity in levels was too great, it would still inflict a measure of cold damage on lower-level creatures.

Du Pinzhi was utterly helpless against Zuo Xuan. At that moment, even he found himself caught in a dilemma.

Besides, when Qin Hao had left the capital, he had specifically instructed that Zhuge Yun would oversee domestic affairs and Su Qi would be responsible for military affairs.

“Suppose I’m lying to you. If I went to the bathroom of the hotel where you’re staying and looked for bloodstains, do you think I could find traces of the two victims’ blood?” Lei Xin held the DNA report in his hand without even giving it to Xu Yi.

Hothead staggered from the throw, yet he did not dare utter a single word. He merely swallowed hard.

But if this were an interrogation, there would be no way to explain it, because so many of the new viewers had come specifically to watch people die.

Tang Linxiao must have noticed the emperor’s name on the written agreement and finally understood what it meant. That was why he had become frightened.

Speaking of the weather, from a prescient point of view, the weather in the capital this year was rather abnormal.

Escort Master Huang had a bad feeling. He told someone to buy a meal and take it to Du Jiuyi for inspection.

But let us look at the matter from another angle: if there were a technology capable of simply and crudely determining the time of a corpse’s death, would scientists really rack their brains and use all kinds of methods to conduct such examinations?

Although Gu Wennuan did not care much about these things, she hoped to do her best whenever possible. After all, educational qualifications were something one could make up for. Even in the entertainment industry, plenty of celebrities had returned to school to study. Gu Wennuan believed that if others could do it, so could she.

Animal flesh developed different odors because of the oils secreted by the body itself. Human beings simply had an insufficient sense of smell and ignored most odors outright.

He did not have many opportunities left. If two more tea factories followed the example of the Wang and Mao families, business at his tea factory’s physical outlets would become even more difficult.

As the ice spikes collided with the bloody palm, Huairou and the five members of the blood clan were all sent flying backward.

Watching the deep-blue arc of light draw closer, Blood Profound’s eyes filled with wariness. He had already sensed danger from that blue blade arc. Yet the final scene before Blood Nether’s death was seared deeply into his mind. No longer holding anything back, he frantically mobilized the blood energy throughout his body and slashed at the incoming blue blade arc.

Wei Jiashu glanced across the garden. Most of the consorts had gathered in the Four-Sided Glazed Pavilion at the center. All four principal consorts were present, but the Noble Consort, the host, and Consort Li had yet to arrive.

Seeing that Lin Cong was not particularly enthusiastic toward her, Yiyi returned to her grandfather’s side and clung to his arm, acting spoiled.

The doctor over there finished intubating the patient, but the figures on the cardiac monitor had barely changed. The oxygen partial pressure remained at ninety-one percent, exactly as before. Several doctors took turns listening to the left lung, yet the breath sounds had not improved in the slightest.

Still, it seemed that nothing the emperor had bestowed upon her had been inexpensive. Added together, the gifts were worth at least several thousand taels of silver.

The Huayang Group’s reply did not disappoint Yang Zhenyu. With two relatives, Wang Wei and Wang Delin, mediating between them, the directors did not dare openly voice their opposition. Since the Yang Village Scenic Area had officially begun development, most of the board had approved Wang Wei’s idea of transformation and Wang Delin’s approach to operations.

“The student looks unfamiliar. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before. Which department are you in?” Although the young man appeared perfectly composed, his palms had already begun to sweat, and he kept wiping them on his track pants.

The Scarlet Fruit was precious, but it could not possibly be exchanged for so many White Jade Fruits. If White Jade Fruits were truly that common, then how could there be not a single female here with a beast rank?
