Chapter 40: Yaoguang Hall
After three days of coordination, everyone had developed an instinctive reflex to Cao Cao's commands. No matter when they were given, the moment they heard his orders, everyone would immediately enter their respective states.
Like a wild goose touching the snow, she tapped her feet lightly on the snowy ground a few times before arriving in front of those three.
Yi Yang shook his head with a smile; he truly had no way to deal with Cao Cao. He was confident in himself, with a domineering sense of self-assurance.
After circling around, Qiu He stopped shooting. With his left hand, he tugged at his shoulder, pulled off the cape of justice from his back, and threw it onto the ground.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Ming decided to focus on upgrading Strength, Agility, and Control first; after all, the effects of these were the most immediately apparent.
There was no brutal battle, no clash of wits and courage; their entire squadron had been wiped out by the opponent with overwhelming force.
As the two joked, arrows fell like rain from the city tower onto the heads of the enemy troops. The Frost Bow techniques of Fu He and Wei Feng were particularly sharp; once the enemy soldiers were struck, they immediately froze solid, turning into obstacles for their own marching ranks. Seeing this, the enemy was terrified and their formation fell into chaos, yet they continued to charge forward desperately.
"Are you talking to me?" Su Hong pointed at his own nose, his expression one of surprise.
Although Gu Ming felt some heartache, there was no other way. If he didn't quickly eliminate the mutated zombies, the casualties would be far greater than this. Turning around to look at the very last mutated zombie, just as he prepared to strike, he found that it had also been killed in an instant.
This time was no exception. Yun Xu knew that Steward Bao had a penchant for gourmet food, so he naturally had to serve him a table of his best culinary creations.
To put it bluntly, Su Ming was simply trying to eliminate dissenters. To maximize his own gains, as long as people like Tang Zhen couldn't descend underground, they would have a better chance of securing a larger share of the spoils.
Spitting a mouthful of fresh blood onto the cave wall, Lin Fan looked at the Black-Scaled Beast, which lay limp on the ground after his final blow. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. Supporting himself with his hands, he climbed to his feet and took the opportunity to collect the Black-Scaled Fruit from the floor.
"That person has already vanished into the void, carrying the aura of solar flames. Under the great calamity, he has disappeared without a trace," the Saint Jie Yin sighed.
Even Liu Ran, who had originally considered abandoning those Star Realm cultivators, was now doing his utmost to engage the Demonic Ape.
Too many things had happened during this period, and her heart was already troubled enough; now, something like this had occurred.
One day, after finishing his tutoring work, Xia Kun bumped into Zhao Qingshi, who was also heading home. Because there were many guests at noon, she no longer ate at home at midday.
The Martial Arts Academy was different; they focused entirely on cultivating Qi and blood, resulting in higher cultivation levels. There were already over twenty martial artists at the peak of the Body Tempering stage.
Mo Qiang also gave up on the idea of attacking and switched entirely to defense. Seeing Zhou Ming strike, he decisively used his spear to block.
After controlling the ball, Yang Zhou immediately launched an assault toward the opposing goal. Blocking his path was Wang Bi, who had been his sparring partner all along; the two of them seemed to be acquaintances.
A middle-aged man in a green military uniform stood silently at the command console in the system room, observing all of this. This was the latest achievement of humanity, a part of the "Evolution," and it carried the hopes of the human race.
That day, Xu Wan led his subordinates to clash with the vanguard of the Yuezhi. Both sides suffered nearly fifty percent casualties, so he led the remnants of his forces back to Jiayu Pass.
Because it was sturdy and durable, Jingjue had become a commercial hub, attracting elites from all tribes to sell their goods there. If Loulan City could do the same, it would certainly have a superior geographical advantage over Jingjue City.
"I don't think so? There's nothing going on in my family. My father felt much better yesterday, and he even said that Shi'er is gentle and proper, and that I have a very good eye!" Zhang Qian had originally wanted to say no, but given the rigorous nature of those in the Ministry of Justice, he decided it was better to be honest.
There was a moment of silence inside, followed by a flurry of rapid footsteps. Through the partially opened door, a hand reached out.
Shen Qingyu clutched her chest to soothe her discomfort, stealthily opening her eyes a little wider to look at the corpse.
The Han family was now proactively drawing close to Yi Yang—could they really bear the pressure of a catastrophe that might lead to their clan's extermination?
The Great Elder's calm voice echoed slowly throughout the hall, drawing everyone's gaze toward him.
Assistant coach Li Xin and data analyst Zhuge Changming wore faces beaming with pure happiness.
Even though it was all a dream, he had never seen Sheng Yuqing use a blade in reality, yet those images were so vivid, as if they had truly happened; he could see every single detail.
However, this time, his treatment of Ling Ying seemed to show a sudden change in personality, as if he had truly adopted the identity of a member of the Xiao clan.
Yet, under such circumstances, the things he actually did were things he was absolutely compelled to accept. It was precisely because of this acceptance that, even if he found it hard to imagine in his heart, he could only move forward step by step at this moment.
After registering at the guard room by the school gate, Ling Zikai and Du Juan followed Zhang Nan toward the Forestry Department.
The short sword in E Lai's hand was revealed, transforming directly into a great spear, radiating a terrifying aura.
Seeing that Wu Dashan understood his meaning, a smile appeared on Zhang Tianming's face, and he nodded at him, signaling his approval.
Yan Yu had spent most of her time at the old Xu family estate recently, and no one knew what she was tinkering with. She would also come to the Taoist temple once or twice a week; besides devoutly honoring the Tao, she would also handle matters that Xu Changsheng was unwilling or too busy to attend to. This had gradually become her daily routine.
When I heard that, my face turned red. It seemed that not only had I harmed Li Yun, but I had also damaged the class's honor, and even tarnished the department's beautiful wish to offer blessings for Beijing's Olympic bid.
Only then did I realize she didn't fancy me. In the end, it had always been my own unrequited love. Since I never liked to force others in matters of the heart, I felt that this outcome wasn't bad; I could finally concentrate on my grand ambitions.
Cheng Ziliang really couldn't fathom what Xu Changsheng could change in a single night, but he couldn't help but ask. This matter was of great importance; it concerned not only Yuanyuan's fate but also his future status within the family. As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion.
Ling Zikai hadn't expected He Qiujiang to pull such a trick. It seemed this plan had been long in the making. He wondered what exactly he had set his sights on inside Falling Star Valley, to be willing to spend such a fortune to contract an entire forest farm.
The so-called Sunset Red Immortal Herb likes to grow on the highest cliffs within its habitat, specifically on the red soil facing the direction where the sun sets. It loves the sunset, for only the evening glow allows it to grow.
