Volume One, Chapter 22: Teasing

"Venerable Subduer of Demons, is this truly feasible? Those are peerless experts we are dealing with; can we really wipe them all out in one fell swoop?" Watching the battle in the distance, where destructive forces erupted at any moment, the Flame God-Eater looked toward the God-Eating Demon Lotus with a hint of concern, then turned to the man in the black robe on its left.

Naruto placed the wild vegetables he had picked and washed into the boiling fish soup. The green vegetables floating atop the milky white broth looked incredibly appetizing.

Zhang Fan’s plan was not to claim Mikoto just yet, but since she had delivered herself to his doorstep, he saw no reason to refuse.

Cai Shaoqing couldn't help but laugh, feeling a touch of schadenfreude. She slowly walked toward Le Lang when a sudden mountain breeze swept by, catching the hem of her plain white dress and causing her expression to change in alarm.

A single thought was enough to render them immobile; a single gesture was enough to shatter their bodies into dust.

The Third Superintendent’s attitude left not only Wang Feng bewildered but also everyone in the square completely confused. The Karov family had always been known for their aggressive stance in the Wind Wing Federation; it could be said that the family had never been this accommodating before.

Li Erqi’s gift shop was divided into three floors. The bottom two levels sold all kinds of gifts, including a vast array of large teddy bears, all neatly displayed and varied in style.

Aleister’s words left Zhang Fan speechless for a moment. After a pause, he let out a long sigh.

At this moment, although the bleeding had stopped, Shi Shan was extremely weak, and speaking was a tremendous effort for him.

Someone shielded their brow with a hand and tilted their head, straining to catch a glimpse of the key with the corner of their eye. The golden light made their eyes ache, yet their voice was remarkably loud.

Beyond these primary objectives, the secondary goal of flexing their muscles using geniuses like Terumi Mei was undoubtedly executed perfectly.

The pierced crust could no longer contain the magma layer beneath; red geothermal fire began to surge out from the bottom of the pit! Curiously, however, this magma seemed constrained by some force, unable to erupt above ground, turning the massive crater into a furnace of flames.

Having been exploited of eighty percent of their vast resources here, the Dark Clan must be heartbroken and would surely go mad, relentlessly plundering other races.

The message was brief, but the meaning was clear. The simple words "I’m coming out to pick you up" revealed that he possessed a vehicle.

The two soldiers following Zhao Tiehu, besides carrying Hanyang-made rifles on their backs, each had a Mauser pistol tucked into their bosoms. As for Zhao Tiehu, he carried two, both fully loaded and ready to fire at a moment's notice.

"During this counter-encirclement campaign, you might want to chat with Comrade Tiehu and see what methods he has. Judging by the results of these recent battles, Comrade Tiehu seems quite adept at defeating the strong with the weak, which is exactly what we urgently need right now."

"What is the concentration of Pangu blood in me now?" Qin Tiange was curious and stepped forward to touch the Pangu Stele.

As for the more esoteric content, it was covered up; the moment relevant leaks were posted, they were deleted and the accounts banned.

The other party spoke with evident agitation. Zhang Shaozhuo fished a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to the man, and lit one for himself and Ye Qing. The three of them stood on either side of the wall, puffing away.

Once the enemy charged close and the two sides engaged in melee combat, the corporal in the front would quickly stand up, and the soldiers behind him would follow suit.

The artillery platoon had already set up all their infantry guns. With a single order from Yang Jun, they would surely blow the gates of Shenghu City wide open.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cao Wei performed a graceful vault onto the horse’s back, clamped his legs, and gave the horse’s rear a heavy slap, all without a moment’s hesitation.

Not long after, Cao Xiu also arrived with his army. Seeing the Shu forces lined up in perfect formation, he quickly deployed his own troops in preparation for battle.

Footsteps approached from afar, drawing slowly nearer. These were the footsteps of Dharma Master Yunkong.

Xu Tian naturally would not sit idly by. This time, he did not move, but instead lifted his Black Ancient God Blade. With a loud "bang," the Azure Light Snake collided directly with the heavy blade, sending dazzling sparks flying between them.

Xiang Ao had initially hoped to increase the yield of vegetables, but the climate in the Hetao region was too arid, leaving the farmers helpless.

She was not particularly beautiful, and her skin was even a bit dark, but she possessed a certain wild charm.

She admired Shi Wanyue’s decisiveness in abandoning all the painstakingly laid-out plans of the Shi family in an instant.

Seeing that Zhong Wanyan made no further move, the old woman held her breath for a while before calming down. She moved her legs, which had gone stiff with fear, and as her eyes darted about, she caught sight of the silhouette cast by the candle on the person in the bed.

Zhang Fei had a deep fondness for spears. The one he forged was eighteen feet long, with the tip crafted into the shape of a serpent. Zhang Fei named it the "Eighteen-Foot Serpent Spear."

They were at the docks, where the road was not particularly wide and crowded with people coming and going. If they didn't yield to one another, it would likely take them quite a while longer to clear the area.

"Your hidden ailment is a rare and tricky condition in medical terms. Eradicating it completely is by no means an easy task," Chen Fei told him truthfully.

Along the street, there were places with very direct signs, advertising "Five-Colored Dinosaurs for Sale or Rent."

In truth, Li Qi felt the same way. These 'Second Brothers' were the only race he had met that did not discriminate against him from the very beginning and treated him with genuine kindness—something even the Spirit Race could not necessarily claim. More importantly, they were easy to talk to.
