Volume 1, Chapter 54: The Fall of a Military General

Tomorrow is a brand-new month, and starting tomorrow, I will definitely maintain a schedule of two updates every day. That is all, thank you everyone.

Su Yi, Ming Luo, and the old man protecting the Western Emperor were sent flying backward out of the mist, skidding dozens of feet across the ground before barely coming to a halt.

"My lord, please take me away." After a nearly sleepless night, Zeya came to Blue Jiayi's wooden house once again, looking at him with her beautiful, light blue eyes.

Ming Luo leaned forward slightly, putting all his focus into healing Huang Fei. A verdant green glow enveloped Huang Fei's entire body, and by now, the wound that had nearly torn her upper torso apart was almost half-healed.

Xu Ying fell into deep thought. What he had done was merely a catalyst; there must have been other matters at play. It was likely that this uncle had been harboring a bellyful of suppressed anger with nowhere to vent, and had seized this opportunity to let it all out.

Lin Tian snorted, "Let's see who is courting death!" With a single stroke, Lin Tian's sword slashed toward his opponent. Only then did the adversary realize how terrifying that sword truly was, hastily crossing his arms in front of his chest as a massive surge of demonic energy materialized to protect him.

Hearing that they were planning to go to the house over there to build a fire and cook, both Grandpa Wang and Granny Wang firmly disagreed.

After all, the Son of the Demon God and the Buddha of the Western Sea were both mighty experts of the Origin Realm with peerless power. Dealing with these mere five Immortal King Realm experts still left them with plenty of options.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye at Wu Chi, who remained enveloped in seven-colored auspicious light, Changsun Sheng could not help but sigh softly.

In close-quarters combat devoid of superfluous moves, technique, experience, physical fitness, and energy supply were of paramount importance. In terms of technique and experience, the gap between the two was minimal. When it came to physical fitness, Ye was clearly the stronger one. Meanwhile, Lei Ao relied primarily on his raw strength and energy reserves.

The mere thought that something might have happened to him sent Li Huaiyu into an uncontrollable panic, her eyes darting back and forth in frantic anxiety.

"Get out of my sight!" Kayo roared, his massive, sturdy hand grabbing the toe of his opponent and slamming him fiercely against the ground, only to find that it was merely an afterimage.

The suffocating sensation of having his throat gripped relentlessly made Gu Moyan feel exquisitely miserable. He suddenly recalled how, back when they were together, he had choked Nuo's throat on several occasions. At that time, she must have felt just as painful and wretched as he did now.

His heart was filled with contradiction and irritation, so he tried his best to avoid seeing Liang Rou, and his words to her inevitably sounded cold and harsh.

Liang Rou had been drinking milk, and her upper lip was stained with white foam, making her look both comical and adorable.

Harboring uneasy hearts, the regional lords arrived at Changlin ahead of schedule, intending to use this opportunity to sound out the Lord of Ziyang.

The door opened and closed again. Huaiyu stepped out from behind the screen, her previous complicated expression completely vanishing as her face lit up once more with a roguish grin.

"Do you like it?" Qian Fanchen's complexion seemed a shade paler than before, but he still looked at Ji Xiaoyue with a faint smile. For some reason, staying with this girl always made him feel like treating her the way he treated Qing Jiujiu—wanting to make her smile.

"Greetings, Your Lordship." Bai Dezhong's expression was livid. Without even returning a proper look, he cupped his fists in a perfunctory salute, his eyes remaining locked onto Huaiyu with a towering fury burning within them.

Glancing at Xiao Wei behind her, who was still immersed in the sweet bliss of romance, she refrained from disturbing them and nervously braced herself as she walked into the private dining room.

The Chen family members all returned home to attend the wedding feast, and Chen Afu also had Chen Ming deliver her congratulatory gifts. On the surface, her wedding gifts were identical to those sent to Chen Aman: fifty taels of silver, two bolts of brocade, two quilt covers, and two pure gold hairpins. Aside from the fifty taels of silver, however, the rest of the items were in an entirely different league compared to what had been sent to Chen Aman.

However, no amount of regret could change what had happened now. In short, she had been thoroughly exposed and betrayed by Niu Xiaoli and Miao Hong.

Determined not to let a second Zhao Guangran appear in his family, he declared that he must work hard and keep his younger brother so busy that he would have no time to get mixed up with the likes of Zhao Guangran.

It was a pity she had no great aspirations regarding the law; otherwise, becoming a lawyer wouldn't be a bad path, and she might even make it as a top attorney. Just the thought of it made Gong Ruini feel exceptionally thrilled.

"Even if Luo Zijun drops the charges and Zhang Yangyang is released, the Zhang family will immediately place him under tight control, making him even harder to approach." When it came to matters concerning the survival of the clan, Zhang Yangyang, being the scapegoat, had to remain strictly within the Zhang family's sphere of control at all times.

Qin Jian shared a bond of life and death with Chu Lingxuan, and it was through Chu Lingxuan that he had come to assume office in Dingzhou Prefecture, which was why this matter could only be entrusted to him with complete peace of mind.

"They are bringing out fifty thousand in cash, and then they are investing with their technology." Reaching this point, Zhao Guangran suddenly remembered that he had not yet explained what "technology equity" meant to them, and he opened his mouth, preparing to offer an explanation once more.

Naturally, Princess Rui had no desire to benefit the concubine-born son of Lady Jiang, so she continuously sought out various remedies to treat the child, though with very little effect.

There were still three bullets left in the magazine. If these two pilots turned out to be ghosts, I wouldn't have to fear them at all.

Division Commander Yang felt a pang of regret. When he had first seen that slip of paper, he should have immediately issued two orders: one to wipe out the criminals below completely, and another to simultaneously dispatch men to board the ship and capture the remaining thugs.

The Orthodox Emperor gazed fixedly at the front hall for a full five or six breaths, his eyes gradually blurring with a mist of tears.

The leader of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Corps wore an expression of disdain. "Hiss—hiss!" Wherever the fireball passed, everything was reduced to ashes, along with all the members of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Amidst my thoughts, Bian Yiqian and Qin Bing also walked over. Meng Meng did not approach, but instead pressed her lips together and watched me from afar.

During this speculative attack on the currencies of Southeast Asia, the Quantum Fund's nominal fifteen billion dollars actually only utilized a fraction of its total.

True to expectation, Mo Yan, who had been lying limply in her arms on the verge of death, suddenly stood up. With calm composure, he stripped off his blood-stained outer garment and put on a fresh, clean one, though his complexion still retained a slight pallor.

"Fine, fine. Senior Brother can tell me all about the ten great venomous creatures another day." Deeply aware that once Zhou Nianping got started, he would chatter endlessly, Mu Changfeng had no choice but to interrupt.

The monk picked it up between two fingers and gently placed it upon the petals of the ice lotus, a flicker of delighted a smile crossing his face.

Seeing Ye Lengfu's rakish, carefree smile, An Yujia felt her anger flare up even higher, and she could not help but loudly reprimand him.
