Volume 1, Chapter 35: The Impossible

(Page 1 of 3)

After the Blazing Fire True Lord appeared, his gaze swept over Su Zheng and the other two before turning to the two Dark Guard elders still struggling desperately against the Golden Armored Guards. He immediately waved his hand and struck each of them with a palm.

Chen Zijun seriously considered smashing her head against the wall of the reception room. She had no choice but to repeat her name once more and solemnly introduce Lin Yuming to Yu Xue as well.

“Reporting to Your Highness, a military adviser is, as the name suggests, someone who participates in planning and offers strategies,” He Gui replied, stepping forward.

“Father, is what my sister said true?” Jiang Xinyu sneered inwardly, then cast an arrogant glare at Zhuo Tianmei.

“Has the commander-in-chief for the campaign against Yan already been decided?” Yu Xin’s heart stirred. The court and the capital had been arguing over this matter for days. Apart from Lian Po, who was stationed on the western front, the only person in Zhao qualified to command such a great army was Zhao She. Yet there were also rumors that Lord Anping, who had just taken office as Chancellor of Zhao, wished to become commander as well.

“Now, Third Brother, we were only having a little scuffle. There’s no need to call Elder Liu, is there?” Li Busi immediately cut in, hoping to brush the matter aside.

“My lord, please follow this servant,” a shrill voice said, pulling Xiao Xiwei’s thoughts back to the present.

Her bearing was extraordinary and her appearance breathtaking. Most striking of all was the feeling she conveyed with every movement, which left people marveling.

Perhaps that fellow dared to be so insolent before Lord Ma because he felt he had someone to rely on.

Mieyuan frowned and remained silent. Fifth Brother had indeed cried out in surprise upon seeing his appearance. Although Mo Wen had interrupted him midway, Mieyuan had still caught the gist of it. It seemed that Fifth Brother had said he looked very much like someone.

Later generations took up cultivation, and some of them eventually manifested the phenomenon known as the Immortal Dance Moon. Such people, however, were exceedingly rare. In the entire empire, not even the Human Sovereign had ever displayed such an anomaly.

“Mm-hmm… yes, exactly. I absolutely won’t steal from your territory again,” Li Qing said, slyly changing the meaning of the matter.

His mistress suddenly rushed forward, tears streaming down her face, though she made no sound. She had always been a strong woman. In her heart, she had long accepted that some things in life were destined to be endured. Weeping and making a scene could solve nothing; it would only make matters more complicated.

“Give him to me. I’ll take him to the funeral parlor tomorrow. The makeup artist there will find a way to make Mom look presentable.”

“So, because I became the Demon Dao’s Young Cult Master, I’ve practically made enemies of every major power under heaven apart from the ancient clans? If I’d known this would happen, I would have let that demon youth defeat me.” Zhou Chen was on the verge of tears.

The man spoke in an utterly calm voice, his tone light and casual, as though killing Zhou Chen would be as simple as deciding that he wanted to do it.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Chen continued inching toward the center. Violent power battered and scoured him without pause, and several times he nearly died in an instant. Only with the aid of various precious medicines and the blood essence of the Xiezhi did he manage to survive.

The moment the saber entered his hand, he felt spiritual light surge through his arm and into the hilt. The bloodstains on the blade suddenly spread, transforming in the blink of an eye into a scarlet blood saber.

As for the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, it combined the strengths of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation with those of the Three Powers Formation, making it extraordinarily ingenious.

In the face of Su Mu’s string of refusals, Su Su lowered her head and drank her porridge. Ye Yu nodded repeatedly, looking so serious that he seemed ready to take out a notebook and record every one of those “no, no, no’s.”

At that time, I still had no way to accept all the changes that had taken place. I was unfamiliar with everything and everyone, so every day was bleak, and the psychological pressure was immense.

After all, the two of them had known each other for quite some time. Even he had not known that Tianze had opened a bearing factory, so how had Zhou Jun found out? And how had he learned about it in such detail?

Zhang Ya stared at the wooden Pigsy on the ground while watching the robot Pigsy beside him from the corner of his eye. His fists tightened involuntarily, and his teeth clenched against his lower lip.

Two men carried a crate inside. It was wrapped in colored paper, with a large decorative bow tied on top. One man was young, the other middle-aged. Naturally, they were Tianze and Pang Wei.

They had arrived, but Hindenburg was, after all, a guest and had to be treated properly. Only after making sure their guest felt completely at home—or at least approximately so—did Su Gu finally discuss business with Missouri.

It was not only him. The other commanders of the First Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army felt the same way. They believed that using artillery shells and bombs against the Thai people was simply too wasteful.

“That’s right. The risk is enormous. But the rock supporting us probably won’t hold out much longer either. When that time comes, we’ll have no escape from the fate of falling,” Yu Die said.

At least until the magical power in the Holy Grail was exhausted, Fang Li was effectively carrying a wish machine with him wherever he went.

To face the top seed in the strongest possible condition during the second round, this task had to be completed within this match. Otherwise, against the top seed, Zhao Junzhe, Li Yonghao would have not the slightest chance of victory.

The Eighteen Great Clans would never readily acknowledge Zhao Yi as their equal, no matter how astonishingly his fleet had performed in the war.

Thinking about it, perhaps she would still have to have a proper talk with this classmate after returning. Otherwise, it seemed rather inappropriate for her to catch her sneaking in and out every night.

Most importantly, the armies taking part in this war came from the west, northwest, and central-southern regions. Troops and personnel had been mobilized from nearly every part of the country except the northeast. Under the crushing and infiltrating pressure of war, the barriers and boundaries between the armies disappeared, making it far easier to coordinate commands and unify military operations.

Therefore, he had to humble himself and beg Chu Yang now. One man had already died; he could not allow this one to die as well, or the consequences would be disastrous.

Having known Xia Jinxuan for three or four years, Xia Jinxuan could tell at a glance whether he had exerted himself.

“Did His Majesty return alone, or did he come back together with the Crown Prince?” Helian Wanrong asked.

The surroundings instantly fell silent. All the ghosts gazed upon the deity, then dropped to their knees once more.

Only after arriving here did Mu Yunjun feel the oppressive sensation brought by the Buddha light. Yet even amid that oppression, the aura of peace and serenity had not vanished.

Under the tree demon’s control, it appeared that the elven attendant took him along every day and let him do as he pleased. In reality, however, everything had been carefully designed as part of a gradual course of study.

Shen He took two daggers from his robes and casually tossed them onto the ground together with the roast duck, then formed a hand seal.
