Volume One, Chapter 32: The Wall of Thorns: A New Chapter in Defense

Of course, nothing is absolute. If someone else in the experimental class possessed a skill as powerful as his, it would be difficult to say what might happen. Otherwise, why would these people have expanded their patrol perimeter so widely, and why would they have forced Li Qiang and his two companions into this eerie, deserted village?

Under the massive impact, before there was any time to react or defend, the branches rushing from behind pierced into his body. As blood dripped, it seeped into the vines of the Ancient Soul-Yan Tree. Having consumed the Enlightenment Pill, his understanding and perception of nature had reached the level of an immortal; before achieving true immortality, he had no need to worry about an unstable foundation, nor was it possible for inner demons to arise. If it were the latter, they would surely do everything in their power to pursue the Peach Blossom Immortal, whose beauty was no less than that of Tang Xue'er.

The air was filled with the distinct fragrance of evaporating plant sap, but at the same time, something called "anxiety" was quietly creeping into Li Qiang's heart.

With a screech of tires against the pavement, the girl slammed on the brakes, her icy eyes fixed on Ye Feng. Then, a few intermittent shouts could be heard, but because the noise inside the room was so loud, it was impossible to make out what was being said. The only certainty was that the sound was coming from the room next door.

The regulations stated that the Era Zana Company would only deduct one percent of Zhang Yunze's NBA rookie contract salary as a commission each year. Every year, they would secure at least two endorsement deals for Zhang, and depending on his performance in the NBA, they would strive to obtain endorsement contracts from Pepsi or Coca-Cola for him.

Previously, he had thought highly of Zheng Jiangnan, considering him a promising young man. He had not expected Zheng’s true nature to be so unbearable; not only was he arrogant and contemptuous of others, but he also completely lacked any sense of discernment.

Shunzhi... I suddenly miss him so much. Why isn't he by my side tonight? My pillow is a bit damp. Did I cry?

"Kirin King, if you dare to hurt Lu Ming, I will slaughter your entire family!" Infuriated, the Hell Demon Dragon roared in uncontrollable rage after hearing the Kirin King's words. Unfortunately, he was completely bound and his freedom restricted; even if he wanted to stop the Kirin King, he could not break free.

After more than a month of traveling, everyone in the party, including Immortal Lord Jinlei, felt exhausted. After all, the energy required for flying in the Demon Realm had to come from themselves. They were unwilling to convert demonic energy for consumption, so they had to rely on immortal stones, though absorbing energy from those stones also took time.

Taking a few steps forward, Wang Li sat on the high commander's seat in the tent. As he unfolded the silk scroll, his expression shifted several times, and he remained frozen there, speechless for a long time. Helpless, Li Yiji had no choice but to stop talking about rituals and propriety and climbed into the carriage obediently.

If I am not by Shunzhi's side, how can I be a bodyguard? "Are you a secret agent?" Could it be that I actually guessed it right just now?

Wuya's words were enough to be considered praise in the ears of the two shadows, causing both of them to feel a slight joy.

His expression stern, Lu Ming prepared himself for battle upon seeing the malevolent look on Xue Shayun's face. Moving like a dragon, Lu Ming knew that Xue Shayun's strength was far superior to his own; if he fought head-on, he would surely meet his end.

I suppressed the doubt in my heart and bowed down. "Rise, my concubines," Shunzhi's cool, clear voice echoed in the hall. After I stood up, I eagerly searched for Shunzhi's eyes again. I don't know if I'm being overly suspicious, but I always feel that Shunzhi is intentionally or unintentionally avoiding my gaze.

Mathis was staring intently at Lang Zhan's face. When Lang Zhan suddenly opened his eyes, and his blood-red gaze collided with Mathis's vision, Mathis felt a wave of blood-red light rushing toward him. His eyes felt as if they had been pricked by needles, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan of pain.

The lady spoke in a tone of extreme resentment, as if she wished to throw herself at Mu Chenche's feet and beg him to uphold justice for her.

It could be said that one could see them in some corners, but perhaps because there was a street-side cafe nearby, the merchants had simply placed a few restrooms not far away for the convenience of their customers.

The film they had shot so painstakingly was now being shamelessly "box-office stolen" by another movie currently in theaters. Huang Bo was furious at the time, but he knew that even if he got angry on the spot, what could he do? So, without watching the movie, he ran back to find Ning Hao, hoping that Ning Hao could come up with a solution.

Tian Ruier was not shy either; she took a bag of snacks, opened it, and began to eat. It seemed they hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

She was too closed off, yet also too free. She closed off my right to know, while freeing her own body. That is why I cannot keep someone who is determined to leave; she has too heavily diluted the relationship between us, whether there is love or not. She thinks that everything I currently possess is something I cannot give up.

The man glared backward and ignored them. Come to think of it, the man had round eyes, a full beard, and a fierce expression, looking quite alarming. But given the delicate whip work he had just displayed, it was hard to reconcile the two. It was likely a family martial art.

Under the flashing magnesium lights, Shen Zhan and Lin Xinxin finally appeared before the cameras. Their tightly clasped hands drew whispers from many people in the crowd.

A long, strong hand brushed across Lin Xinxin's brow, easing her expression slightly, and she turned back to give Shen Zhan a kiss.

The door opened slowly, revealing a scene of chaos. The expensive-looking furnishings in the room were scattered across the floor, tables and chairs were overturned, paintings had fallen, and appliances like the television, stereo, and lamps were all askew—it looked as if a typhoon had passed through.

However, her belly hadn't started to show yet; the baby was only three or four months along, and she was already eating so much. By the time she gave birth, she would probably weigh one hundred and fifty pounds.

Mrs. Chen let go of the man's ear and stepped forward, delivering a crisp slap without hesitation.

Before his eyes, the light screen was gone, replaced by a mountain forest. The woods were lush, the branches and leaves rustled, which was very different from the noise of Tianyi City; it was very quiet.

In truth, he had never been respected or valued like this in his life. This was an honor Young Master Du had never tasted before.

As the laser continued to shine, hot steam mixed with ash, asphalt, cement, and dust particles rose with the flames, condensing into objects at the edge of the heat circle and raining down as a howling black storm.
