Volume 1, Chapter 45: The Disappearing Woman (24)

On such a massive island, the Star River Alliance garrison numbered a full thirty thousand, yet in a mere five minutes, every single one of them had been knocked out.

Liu Hui felt a mild headache coming on. He had a very profound understanding of Yang Tao. Unless it was an absolute last resort, he no longer wished to come into conflict with Yang Tao.

"Simple. You, you, and you—the three of you shall sever one of your own arms as punishment for kidnapping my friend." As he spoke, Lin Huan pointed in turn at Lu Tianfeng, Lu Wangang, and Lu Wanqiang.

At this, the three of them turned back to glance at the high-spirited Lu Haodong, as if at this very moment he were radiating the aura of a leader, surrounded by a brilliant constellation of generals. Perhaps he really longed to recite a poem right then, only holding back because he refused to parrot someone else's words.

Chen Bao and the others showed no particular change in their expressions. He looked toward Feng Shaotang and the four of them, wanting to ask if there was danger involved here. Why had no one mentioned it to him beforehand?

This agreement even involved the lives of all four of them. To gather the fragments, they would have to be killed first in order to seize them. No matter how Chen Bao turned it over in his mind, he could find no flawless excuse.

Looking out into the distance, everything appeared as though a spring breeze had swept across the earth, reviving all things. Every single spiritual herb exuded an intensely vibrant and thriving aura.

With just a flick of his divine will, he could span an unfathomable distance to descend upon that river of stars, looking down from on high upon an unknown galaxy spanning one hundred thousand light-years.

Take, for example, the penultimate emperor of the Yin Dynasty. At the time, that emperor fancied himself brilliant and martial. During a campaign deep within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, because the defending generals and garrison soldiers fought with great valor, they inflicted heavy casualties on the demon race.

Vitality and bloodline surged into Li Mengshang's body. This physique was now no different from that of a living person; her blood circulated, her heart began to beat, and the surging vitality breathed new life into the deathly still form.

Ye Xiaoran hurriedly caught Meijuan's hand, pulling out the IV needle. Then, pulling Meijuan into a tight embrace, she said nothing at all.

As for the lamp, once the flame detached itself, it voluntarily merged into the Nether-Seeking Skiff, transforming into a seal upon the bow.

PS: Well, once the Fairy Tail arc is completed, I'll probably need to take a break for a while. The exact duration is currently undecided.

Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. His words were meant as a provocation, intended to goad this Lord Zhang into thoroughly investigating the matter in a fit of anger. Yet he was afraid he might have gone too far; if this official flew into a rage and had his head lopped off, the loss would truly outweigh the gains.

Sigh, digging plot holes is truly a bad habit, especially continuing to dig inside an already deep pit—it's practically burying oneself in the process. Still, I can finally start filling them back in. I wonder if anyone had already figured out which stretch of plot holes I was preparing to fill?

Moreover, ever since she became pregnant, she grew even more uninhibited, inviting her close girlfriends over to the estate for gatherings. In truth, it was simply to flaunt her pregnancy.

"Heh, so what if you are a Nascent Soul realm expert? If you want to take my wife away, what do I have to fear from a fight? Besides, your cultivation is far from reaching the Nascent Soul realm," Xuan Yuanze said without a trace of fear.

The second turning point in the war occurred in Water 7. The lunar scientists and the finest shipwrights of Water 7 gathered there to forge the most ferocious warship in the world—Pluton, deemed capable of standing alongside Uranus and Poseidon.

Skill: Flame Clone. The Flame Demon Shadow Assassin can utilize its own fire element to create a flame clone. The clone possesses 70% of the Flame Demon Shadow Assassin's total attributes. When both strike an enemy simultaneously, their damage stacks.

Across the vast and boundless white snowfield, roads and terrain were completely buried under a silver blanket, making it impossible to tell one from the other.

I think so indeed, so I promised never to tell anyone else and told them to be careful themselves and avoid letting others notice what they were doing.

Bardock departed, returning to Planet Red Mountain. For the next few days, Mount Paozu was left with only Son Goku and Bulma.

Not only had Su Han perceived the lethality of the Pine and Frost Cold-Bone Skeleton, but Blood Sword Hegemony had noticed it as well. A giant sword, perpetually dripping with fresh blood, was thrust into the ground. A blood-red hand crossbow suddenly appeared in his hand, and a red beam of light shot forth from it, hurtling toward the Pine and Frost Cold-Bone Skeleton.

He also retrieved the letters from the past two months—there were two in total, one from a month ago, and the final one arriving just yesterday.

You might feel this isn't worth mentioning. Yet this subtle shift is precisely what brings about changes in execution and efficiency! Although that game against the Cavaliers went down to the wire and nearly resulted in a buzzer-beater against those guys from Cleveland, one has to admit there were still quite a few variables on the court.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, Coach Chen? Is the pressure getting to you? Or maybe we should just stop playing—let's call it my win," the rookie said smugly.

Then, lifting his gaze to survey the loess-covered mountains and the withered, dormant scene of winter, it seemed as though the landscape looked even more depressing, lacking the vibrant vitality of his hometown.

The Demon King of Confusion trembled with rage, angrily hoisting his heavy iron staff. Yet unexpectedly, his limbs suddenly turned weak, and the heavy iron staff slipped from his grip, crashing down onto the ground with a thunderous roar and gouging out a massive pit.
