Volume One, Chapter 34: Four-Star Martial General

The martial artists of the allied forces were utterly bewildered, but far away in the forbidden grounds, Venerable Black and his companions were ashen-faced. In truth, ordinary Hollows only possess physical attack capabilities; such ghost-path abilities are not something an average Hollow could wield. Only the most formidable among them are capable of such feats.

Jiang Ying received a notification from his parents that Jiang Zhonghai was coming to find him and told him not to wander off, leaving him with no choice but to wait quietly. "Captain Jiang, I'm over here!" Seeing Jiang Zhonghai flying toward him, Jiang Ying shouted in a hurry, fearing he might be missed.

"Your master has been worried about you all night. Are your injuries serious? Someone, go fetch Doctor Zhu." Yan Mubai then noticed the presence of Manor Lord Su in the hall; his words were earnest and filled with concern.

"That's right!" Reminded by this, Dou Rui's eyes brightened. A Martial Venerable capable of transcending tribulation to become a Martial King is certainly of immense value. If they managed to capture him, it might bring a monumental stroke of fortune to the two brothers.

He Tian had long since received news that Lin Bei had entered the cave, just as he was aware that the Great Elder of the He family was also on his way.

As the long blade swung, an exaggerated red arc of sword energy swept out from the Mortal Blade, smashing fiercely into the white wooden house.

"That's good. There is some food in the kitchen; eat and get to sleep early. I am going to rest now." After saying this, Shu Qianheng stood up and walked straight into his room, not to emerge again.

Surrounding the man and Ye Qi and the others, Xuan Yuan Chenxing of the Nanshan Border Defense Army stepped forward and interrogated the man loudly.

Clicking on the panel, he found the beginner's guide and began browsing the introductory tips. He checked the official website's data and compared it with his own starting attributes.

With a forceful heave, she hoisted Quinn onto her back. Fiora’s body sank slightly; clearly, carrying such weight was a bit much for her. Although the Dragon-Pattern Battle Armor had transformed into a form-fitting soft suit, that was merely a visual change; the weight of the armor remained the same.

"Aoqiu Mountain Peak, please enlighten me!" The burly man tensed his arms, and a giant axe appeared with a resounding clang, spinning with wind-whistling force between his arms.

These people tracking Lin Qianyu were none other than the accomplices who had participated in the plot against Mrs. Qiao all those years ago.

Big Dou Dou shook her head, then rolled up her sleeves: "He bit me, so I pushed him away!" Big Dou Dou explained simply, indicating it was merely self-defense and that she hadn't started a fight.

Having met with the Emperor, Ye Shaochen waited with peace of mind for the imperial marriage decree. However, before that, Ye Shaochen said he wanted to take Su Lingyu to meet his brothers.

In ten seconds, the remaining three hundred meters were covered rapidly by Fiora. Recalling the "Realm of Sorrow," she swung her longsword continuously to strike down the surrounding Void creatures. Finally, the Sword Magic was unleashed again, and the light and shadow of death rendered into countless sword beams, carving a path forward for Fiora. In that instant, Quinn was within reach.

Her private life would likely be dug up incessantly, and she did not want anyone to know about her past.

When he arrived, Ji Bei was flushed with a high fever, his hair damp and matted to his head, muttering incessantly in his delirium.

Bai Bingbing sighed helplessly and quickly planted a kiss on his cheek. Long Teng finally smiled with satisfaction, then stood up and quickly hid inside the cabinet.

Tasa immediately dispatched men, but by the time they arrived, it was already too late. Various military and police forces had joined hands, and the armed police and public security had acted in concert to dismantle all the strongholds held by the Eagle.

Inside Tasa's base, Shen Tong was chatting with Tasa and Na Bing; the items Na Bing had brought as an apology were already at Shen Tong's home.

"Big brother, I think you're just jealous! Can't stand to watch, can you?" Ming Fan added cheekily, drinking the soup Ming Jing was feeding him with a smug look.

"Is this... space magic?" Su Jun finally recognized Luther's technique, but there was no way for Su Jun to escape.

After watching dozens of games as a bystander, Su Jun finally grasped the rules of this three-card game. At the same time, he discovered some patterns, especially among the local indigenous people, who liked to lead with high cards, regardless of the consequences.

Seeing that his newly promoted senior assistant, Fan Ju, had yet to speak, Ba Yuan'an signaled for him to share his thoughts.

So many days of devilish bathing had maximized the growth of Angela's magic. Angela had now reached the 7th rank of a Magic Scholar. She felt that continuing to soak like this was no longer very effective, but she still followed Adair's instructions.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the emergency center received a call that there was a wounded person at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, and gunshots had been heard.

Su Jun, a middle school student from the 50th century, was well-balanced in all aspects—not the best, but certainly not the worst. The most attractive thing about Su Jun was his cuteness.

"These arrows should be very precious. Why didn't the person who fired them retrieve them?" Lu Tianming couldn't help but ponder this question, feeling very puzzled.

*Heh*, Mrs. Shen the Second really has a good idea—wanting to use public opinion to force me to surrender. However, public opinion is a tool I can use just as well as you can. Let us see who ends up suffering.

"Let them go outside and keep watch as well." Lu Fangfei glanced at Huanhuan and Xiaohua, then looked at Liu Yunyun and said gently.

A look of intrigue appeared on Duan Liuyun's face. He reached out, took the menu, and began flipping through it. Lan Shengyan and Qiu Nianbai, sitting on either side of him, leaned in simultaneously, fixing their eyes on the menu in Duan Liuyun's hands, and the three of them looked at it together.

In the twenty-third year of the Zhou Sheng'an era, the autumn in Jinjing City was exceptionally cold and damp, with a solid week of overcast skies and drizzle.

Hou Jian had long heard from Mr. Pan that there was an underground communist comrade named "Spring Breeze" within the Kuomintang. Could it be Commander Li? It was simply unbelievable. He stared blankly at Li Er for a long time, unable to speak. Thinking back on everything that had happened, it felt like a dream. No wonder he had survived such a great disaster, and it was he who had saved him.

Yu Xue brought many tonics and precious items to the Shen Mansion. When Mrs. Shen the Second heard that Yu Xue had arrived, her heart turned chaotic. Every time this plague-bringer appeared, nothing good ever came of it. Why had she come again now?
