Chapter 56

Driven by despair, the French army erupted with formidable combat power, repeatedly assaulting the defense line of the Sixth Regiment. Ge Jianfeng personally advanced to the frontline of the position to direct the defense.

However, Ye Qingjian was different. His talent in the path of the sword was simply too extraordinary, making him a once-in-a-millennium prodigy and ghostly genius of the Wanli Prefecture, fully qualified to rival the stellar talents of the Heavenly Authority royal Fengyang clan.

Perhaps it was because deep down he was a person who strictly kept his promises? Or perhaps it was because Hongjian trusted him deeply and even taught him cultivation techniques.

In the past, Hongjian felt that the sensation of being completely drained after using the Myriad Transformation Annihilation Technique was agonizing, but after enduring the repeated torment of divine sense injuries over the past few days, experiencing it once again made her feel that this level of pain was really nothing at all.

Qin Yue chuckled softly. Although she had long known that she could return to another time and space by virtue of the Fengli Purple Hairpin, she had never entertained the thought of going back.

Panhu asked with a puzzled expression, "Second Sister, what riddles are you exchanging with Young Master Yang? Why can't I understand a single word?"

Holding the positioning device given to him by Ultear, Arthur waved his hand to summon the black dragon from over there, extracted a wisp of death magic from her body, and channeled it into the device.

"Empress Dowager Yu," Xiao Qian replied without the slightest hesitation. He closed his eyes again, seemingly struggling to recall everything.

A Chinese cruise ship slowly approached the pier of Cancun Port, and a team of Chinese people disembarked from the vessel.

With the ten thousand captives from the Southern Viet Kingdom, the Fengming Kingdom's army no longer needed to serve as the vanguard force. Presently, the two sides were getting along quite harmoniously.

At this moment, he naturally had no idea that a massive uproar had already broken out on the internet regarding his heroic rescue. It was not until he took out his phone that he discovered his device had actually broken due to the earlier sudden incident! It remained a completely blank black screen no matter how long he tried to turn it on. Rolling his eyes, he realized he would have to go buy a new phone tomorrow.

Chenguang turned around and trudged at a turtle's pace toward the warm tent. Just as she took a single step, her hand was caught by Shen Run.

There was no sun that afternoon, and the sky remained overcast throughout, leaving no sunset to be seen when twilight fell.

Miyagi did not return to normal until Ayako got off the vehicle, though he still stood there foolishly hugging the box from earlier. Seeing that Miyagi intended to carry the box straight into the basketball gymnasium, Mitsui pulled him away.

"Why must we be penned up and imprisoned?" Alice asked with indignation. She was truly ignorant of this chapter of history, and hearing how astrological sorcerers had been suppressed inevitably reminded her of her own experiences. Being bullied always stirred up immense anger.

Zhang Liang merely offered a charming and wicked smile without saying much, yet his approach to inviting guests unexpectedly opened up a brand-new world for Shao Xiaomin.

Giving Qile no breathing room whatsoever, Xiang Feng closed in with a surging rush. With the middle knuckles of his fists protruding like iron spikes, he drove one fist fiercely into Qile's chest and slammed the other ruthlessly against Qile's throat.

"Get up! How did you get your face in such a mess?" Chen Jiangher instructed casually. He had once known wealth and was accustomed to ordering servants around; now that his family had money, he felt no surprise that his son had bought back a bondservant.

South of Damu, after entering the mountainous terrain, the mountain trails grew increasingly indistinct. Yang Lang proposed posting guards along the march, but Li Yu indicated that maintaining general vigilance was sufficient. At this stage, conducting patrols with too much fanfare might provoke the Wuyi barbarians.

"It will be more than a month before Tianyun returns, and there is no point in suffering through idle waiting here. It would be better to wander around for a while first and understand the situations of the major forces within the Heavenly Demon Star," taking two deep breaths to calm his mind, Lin Kong walked directly toward Meilingzi's residence.

Ye Xian was momentarily stunned, not expecting the old man's attitude to suddenly turn so cold, but remembering this elder's temperament and way of doing things, he said nothing more.

The longsword in Su Zhan's hand had no name of its own; it was an heirloom passed down through the Qingfeng Temple and could be considered a divine and formidable weapon. Su Zhan had stowed it away in the Nation-Guarding Scroll when he left the Qingfeng Temple, never expecting there would be a day he would use it again.

"I was only trying on the dress..." Wang Yamei said timidly, her tone filled with grievance beyond measure.

Moreover, they harbored no particular thoughts at the moment—they understood the young lady's frame of mind all too well.

Between life and death, one naturally chooses life; and between family, lineage, and an unsatisfactory imperial court, there is no doubt that one chooses family.

Because this represented not only a regular stipend but also military authority. Once Pei Shuo inherited the title of Founding Marquis, his existing official posts would stack together with the title, further expanding the military power in his hands.

Knowing that their combined strength was no match for Ye Sinian and the others, the other two Mahayana-stage cultivators hesitated for a moment before finally compromising.

Yet they never expected that when they reached the lodging place of Ma Yuanyi and his companions, the people had already completely dispersed... History took a turn here; Ma Yuanyi was not killed, but managed to escape.

With Xiu Qiqi by his side, Cheng Dagun's safety was secure; foolishness was not something that could be unlearned overnight, either.

Yet at this moment, Hirako considered this a struggle to the death, because his opponent was far too powerful and every move carried killing intent. He was enraged.

When Zhan Peilin rushed to the hospital, Zhan Rou was sitting on the steps, covering her face and weeping softly.

Although the first few celebrities to appear possessed neither great fame nor widespread renown, the reporters had waited anxiously for hours, so even the obscure figures were immediately greeted by raised cameras and frantic photography.

Xiang'er glanced at He Wanru and silently mouthed two words to her. He Wanru understood instantly.

The old lady's aged face flushed crimson. Being unable to afford the item yet subjected to mockery left her frantic with rage, but she was utterly helpless against the situation. Suppressing her frustration, she forcefully yanked at the bracelet on her wrist.

"Your heart is gone, so you are unworthy of her. Naturally, you cannot fulfill any of those things she asked for," she said.

"Mistress, first bring a basin of clear water, then serve two pots of tea, and bring a couple of plates of refreshing fruits as well," Taohua instructed the proprietress.

With a fist the size of a sandbag, a blow was aimed straight at Li Jigui's face, frightening her into dodging left and right while frantically pulling and shaking the old lady by her clothes. The sight of that massive fist bearing down on them terrified the old lady as well.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate found this under Lady Song's pillow." A secret guard presented a silk pouch with both hands.
