“She’s completely out of action. Now only you, Tony, and Mr. Baili have air superiority.” Barton pointed toward the Quinjet behind him, black smoke pouring from it.

As the light in his right pupil flickered, the Golden White Stone and the Demon God White Stone appeared simultaneously on a special communications platform—something resembling a world of consciousness, somewhat like an online world, yet different from both.

After the flash, the earth began to tremble. The spirits, hearing thunderous explosions for the first time, were so terrified that they covered their ears. A gigantic black mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and part of the wall surrounding the Land of Judgment collapsed. A torrent of water burst forth, extinguishing the flames that had not yet spread, then surged toward the nearby river.

Jun Haixin gazed at Jun Yuexi, who was happily playing with Bai Yueran, sorrow gradually filling his eyes.

Wu Dao Guohu was not particularly surprised by this scene. After all, such rifts had been appearing frequently of late. But Zhanji Lingma, who often conducted statistical surveys, did not share his view.

The existence of the Super Drive’s third stage represented a vast gap in rank compared with an ordinary second-stage user. Add to that Yunshan’s Summoner, the absurdly powerful Solitude of Cold, and this battle was steeped in an air of despair.

When Gangzi heard that the orc fleet had retreated and realized that his opponent was probably a clever man, he immediately ordered the elven warships still taking on supplies to set sail and pursue them.

Er Ya gestured for Zhou Lixin, Cai Baocheng, and the other man to tie up the roe deer’s four legs, then continued walking back.

Besides, he had only been studying sailboat design for a few months. His knowledge was nowhere near sufficient to complete the design of a large vessel. Even with a computer from outside the game to assist him, a gigantic ship could not be designed in a short time.

The Eastern Shore Fleet’s movements had not escaped the Northern Fleet’s intelligence network. After receiving the report, Gangzi did not order the Rolling Blade Fleet to turn and meet the enemy, but continued advancing toward Songping.

The spacious stage now held only the two of us. He tossed me the sword at his side with an apparently casual motion, yet when I caught it, the impact left my arm tingling faintly. I was genuinely astonished that a man so uninhibited could possess such profound inner power.

“Bah! You’re vicious as hell. How dare you curse your own husband like that?” Xu Zhongshuang seized both her hands, gripping them hard, dragged her onto the sofa, and pinned her down.

The journey had seemed like a tour of a garden. Gradually, however, I sensed that something was wrong. The cold-faced man seemed to be leading me in circles around the entire estate. He lived here, and there were several places we had clearly passed before—there was no way he had failed to notice. What sort of trick was he playing?

He would never forget Xuan as he had seen him when he walked out of the Dragon-Teng Palace. He even thought that if he had not sent Xuan to Qinzhou back then, and if he had been ruthless enough to kill Qin Xi directly, Xuan would never have had to endure all that suffering afterward.

“What about you? Will you keep vigil on New Year’s Eve too?” According to the customs of the Five Continents, on New Year’s Eve the whole family gathered together for the reunion dinner, then sat around the stove chatting while waiting for the moment when the old year gave way to the new. They stayed awake through the night, symbolically driving away all evil, pestilence, and disease, while hoping for good fortune and prosperity in the coming year.

Yet Li Zixuan himself had said that he had no idea such a place as Xudu even existed. Zi Ye felt that Li Zixuan would not lie to her about something like that.

Since I was the one who recruited him, my superiors assigned me to look after him. After spending several months with him day and night, I discovered that he was an ambitious young man who was exceptionally meticulous in everything he did.

“You neglected your duties. Such an obvious target managed to infiltrate this place, and you failed to notice a thing. Take them away and give each of them fifty strokes!” Xiuluo could not even be bothered to spare them another glance as he watched the men being dragged away, crying and shouting.

Looking at Su Meixue’s disfigured face, Li Xiao’s concern was plain to see. A trace of authority entered his voice as he asked her what had happened.

Yu Wan had no idea how Qi Shengfei had found such a cook, but she merely smiled and said that the cook was at her residence.

After all, he was not heartless. In surroundings like these, how could he possibly sleep soundly?

She could hardly imagine that, in the outside world, people were doing something so earth-shaking merely to save a man named Chen Yang.

Its offensive capabilities, however, were extremely formidable. If his guess was correct, the Guluo Empire possessed a large force of elite soldiers.

Next, Li Dadan would shoot the soldiers on either side of Phil. Phil only needed to grab the grenades and rush into the cabin to complete the mission.

The stars were exceptionally bright that night. Chu Liang could see Jiang Xiaobai’s face clearly; beneath the moonlight, it looked gentle and warm, utterly unlike her usual outgoing, lively self.

Bai Shentian stepped away in disdain, but his heart truly yearned for the white card in Chu Liang’s hand. He could only cough several times, glance around, then seize Chu Liang and pull him into a corner.

Emperor Wuzi felt deeply conflicted, yet there was nothing he could do. Escaping had been his own decision; he could hardly admit that he had been foolish.

Leaving was easy enough, but returning was difficult. After the original master gave birth to her son, she lived in this apartment for several years.

These were the words Zhan Xingshen had spoken with the last breath in his lungs before he passed out.

“Five pillars of light. Which factions are preparing to join forces against us?” Jiang Xin stared at the pillars of light in the sky, bewildered.

Several more bolts of thunder descended, binding the lotus and suspending it in the air while striking it repeatedly. The Blood-Sea Reincarnation Order followed close behind, continuously inflicting physical damage. At last, a strange white, plump, silkworm-like creature emerged from the lotus’s roots.

Then a fierce wind swept past, and figures began falling from the sky like a torrential downpour. In an instant, hundreds of figures had gathered around the Primordial Dao Tree. This was not to say that no one else was still coming; it was merely that the arrivals were no longer as densely packed as before. Their numbers, however, continued to rise.

“Wait—do you think this method might work?” Zhou Jiu’s eyes suddenly lit up as an idea occurred to him.

Zhou Jiu did not even glance at them. He left with Xiong Tao, passing by the others as though nothing had happened.

The Earth Emperor Dragon’s eyes were filled with confusion. He had no idea what Zhou Jiu intended to do. After all this time, Zhou Jiu had merely had them clear the area around them, and the Earth Emperor Dragon had assumed they were preparing for a fight.
