Volume 1, Chapter 28: The Vanishing Woman (07)

The two screenshots they took were quite different. Lian Wu Qingyi used the screenshot key directly, so her capture included the chat channel, health bar, mana bar, stamina bar—basically the entire game interface was fully displayed.

Indeed, the way she looked at her younger brother was much kinder than his own gaze. She smiled gently at him and then walked toward the cabinet.

In an instant, countless clicking sounds echoed through the Skeleton Cave, as if every dormant bone suddenly awoke simultaneously. They shook the dust off their armor, raised their swords and spears, and let out a silent battle cry.

The person responsible for setting traps stretched a thin wire between two trees. If the horse tripped on it, those hiding in the woods would immediately pounce to cover the rider with a sack. Nearby, an accomplice would knock the person unconscious, allowing them to loot the silver coins at their leisure before leaving.

One cannot bite off more than they can chew, but by pursuing both inner and outer cultivation to the extreme, it is not impossible to reach the very pinnacle.

Having such a person—radiant in both appearance and character—by one’s side might mean that in a past life, one didn't just save a nation, but perhaps saved the entire world to earn this blessing.

He first rented a van and then hid in a corner. Once he confirmed that the person on the forum had prepared the gold ingot, he immediately initiated the transaction.

Yet, Dugucheng didn’t realize how ugly his smile looked as he tried hard to appear friendly toward Bai Jiao.

Manuel sneered bitterly, took out his star-blue potion, tilted his head back, and drank it down in one gulp.

He was wrapped only in a bath towel, his upper body slender yet powerful, with tightly packed eight-pack abs and clearly defined V-lines.

But the battle’s intense fluctuations inevitably attracted the attention of nearby soldiers, who all ran over toward them.

Officer Zhou said as he quickly took a second bite; before long, the mooncake in his hand was finished.

Jiang Nan listened, feeling somewhat uneasy. He couldn’t help but recall what was said earlier at the training ground. He had thought it was out of concern for his safety, but now it seemed more like wishful thinking on his part.

All the elders and disciples watching in the square were shocked—not because Pei Wanjun was losing to Zhu Hanqing, but because of Zhu Hanqing’s swordsmanship.

After all the soldiers had dressed and gone to sleep, Du Yingwu leaned against a tree, clutching his sword.

Fortunately, Tang Yuyan’s presence attracted admiring glances wherever she went, which inevitably made me somewhat complacent.

Chu Xiyue scolded sharply. She had only caught a faint glimpse of what seemed like a wound on Duan Qingling’s ankle, surrounded by redness and swelling, but before she could get a proper look, Duan Qingling covered it up again.

“Even Marvel relies on special effects to make movies. Look at this—is this a special effect? Surely it’s not some 3D holographic projection, is it?” Ye Xu, having just cleaned Ye Muyu, turned to look and was stunned.

But the Ghostfang Giant Viper was no fool. Its counterattack began even as Bai Xintong’s thunderlight flashed across her body. Or rather, it wasn’t really a counterattack; before Bai Xintong’s physical lightning could touch it, its assault had already targeted both Bai Xintong and Nangong Yunyi.

The Fusang Sect Leader’s unique fist-and-sword technique, though a close-combat weapon, could be wielded with seamless control, thrusting up and down with precision. This allowed him to anticipate opportunities and find strange angles to launch surprise attacks on Xia and Wan. Every move left behind a splendid trail of black light, clearly the result of using elemental power skills.

Qian Guang’s indifferent eyes locked onto Mo Mo, communicating silently through his gaze: Why are you not afraid?

Since Ye Kai Cheng descended from Xu Zuoyan’s side, Xu Zuoyan quickly retracted his legs, which had been stretched out straight, to avoid being stepped on.

“If you are sure he is not part of the evil faction, then clearing his name will suffice. That way, no one in the martial world will continue to hunt him,” Bai Li Yu said.

Then, Qin Yu’s gaze fell upon a certain place within the secret realm, where a towering stone stele stood nearly a zhang high.

In Qin Yu’s understanding, even the legends recorded in various ancient texts seemed to suggest that no one possessed such power.

Though just two simple words, for Chen Fan, the enjoyment of fine food was supreme. Life, after all, was nothing more than eating, drinking, and relieving oneself.

After the Lord of Reeds and others had just left, Monkey couldn’t help but ask questions. Out of respect for Fang Han’s patience, Monkey had quietly cooperated with him earlier, letting him take the lead.

Qiu Yan tightened the horse’s reins and stopped. He looked back with a heavy heart at the man who had attacked. After Qiu Li breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to draw his sword and dismount, he was stopped by Ye He’s commanding voice and paused.

Time passed swiftly—three months slipped away in the blink of an eye. Li Yan emerged from his arduous training, drenched in sweat, his clothes tattered.

During training breaks, the third squad of the second platoon of the reconnaissance company gathered in a corner of the training ground, clustered around Xu Yan, talking.

Lu Xue’er paused for a few seconds and then realized that, aside from Nian Mingkang, no one else was near Nie Shanshan.

“Clang!” After Ye Feng broke his seal, his strength reached the ninth level of the Spirit Master realm. Under such conditions, his use of the Purple Shadow Swift Step technique was greatly enhanced. Not only did he successfully evade the sword strike, but he also swung the Golden Sun Blade, knocking the sword from Cang Feihong’s hand.

“If that’s the case, then you really have had a hard time making your way,” I thought Liu Jingfeng’s words were a bit exaggerated. However, since Liu Jingfeng insisted, there was nothing I could do. I couldn’t force him to say more, after all.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t know the whole story. We only confined him and never intended to withhold food. He simply refused to eat,” Tang Jue hurried to explain, recounting the reasons behind Xu Yan’s refusal to eat.
