Volume One, Chapter 30: The Life-Saving Benefactor
At the same time, two crisp gunshots rang out. As two of Lister’s elite bodyguards charged toward Li Aichuan, blood erupted from their thighs; their legs, struck by the Remington sniper rifle, were reduced to comminuted fractures by the shockwave in an instant.
"So, how is this initiation different from the usual use of spiritual power?" Xiao Yi asked, curious.
However, the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Family was, after all, the ruler of an empire. If the Wuji Immortal Palace were to kill at will, it would surely invite criticism, which did not align with the palace’s principles of conduct. Moreover, Xiao Ling had no intention of relying on the Wuji Immortal Palace.
"But, General..." Upon hearing this, Hei Duge was reluctant, but since this was the order of his commanding officer, he couldn't help but hesitate as he looked at Heichi Changzhi.
In fact, a more direct method would be to simply overturn the sarcophagus and pour out all the corpse oil contained within.
Occasionally, the aftermath of the battle would spill over to Ye Xuanfu. Had it not been for his robust physique and sufficient cultivation, anyone else would have long since perished and vanished into dust amidst the clash of these two masters of the imperial throne.
"This..." Xiao Yi and Lu Xuexin were both startled, as they could actually perceive various energy fluctuations within the surrounding space.
Therefore, although he was not a true Celestial Master, Ye Xuanfu still honored him with the title of Master Mao Yan.
"It will disappear along with it, leaving a node at this location in space." Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded.
"Not yet, but once I fully research the authority of this castle, I might be able to figure it out." Hearing this, Xiao Yi was quite satisfied.
This gun was much cooler than his submachine gun, but after Zhang Xiangdong borrowed it to satisfy his craving, he handed the M26 back to Wei Chen.
Yang Zongheng began to retreat slowly. He did not truly intend to flee, nor was he actually going to relieve himself.
A stream of light flew into the sky, accompanied by a sound like rolling thunder. The Evil Buddha and the Shura were both struck by the cultivator’s blow, sent into the clouds, and vanished.
"I have basically finished forging the Hunyuan Umbrella; it only needs the Golden Phoenix Feather to be inlaid, which won't take much time," Jiang Liu said after a pause.
Now everything could be explained: demons from the Demon Realm escaped into the human world, using the body of the Poji Demon to transform into vengeful spirits. This explained why the Poji Demon had dragged Higa Kyoko into an alternate dimension during the final battle.
By the time these zombies finally charged to the front of Chen Ran and his team’s defensive line, there were fewer than 30 zombies remaining.
However, strengthening the physical body is no easy task. It is akin to expanding the capacity of a fixed-volume cup; this is far more difficult than simply pouring water into it.
Zhang Qikang finished speaking with a smug expression. To show off at this poetry gathering at the Zuixian Pavilion, he had long ago commissioned others to write several poems about the Lantern Festival. He did not believe that anything Lu Chengfeng could write in haste would surpass what he had carefully polished.
Therefore, even though the second rocket failed to hit its target, it was because the wind-attribute mutant zombie had already been blown away and was no longer in its original position.
Before entering the Qin State palace, Yang Zongheng had arranged for Du Xingseng and the others to heal at an inn. He returned immediately after leaving the palace, and seeing that they had finished their recovery and changed into clean clothes, he beckoned everyone to leave at once, lest the people of the Shanshen Kingdom see them and mistake it for collusion with foreign powers.
Seeing that one major enemy was gone, the shut-in naturally had no objections. Ji Yu watched the crow’s departing figure with a gloomy expression, his eyes shifting with complex emotions, but in the end, he did not strike, letting the figure disappear from his sight.
Gao Ming looked back at Su Han and said that these matters could not be explained in a few words, and to be honest, he really didn't want to dwell on those annoying affairs.
Gao Ming entered the room with a smile and saw why Ren Jian had woken up so early. Two large suitcases sat on the floor; one was already closed, while the other was open, surrounded by a pile of clutter. Ren Jian was likely in the middle of packing.
With the addition of Thomas and the others, he believed the Gene Guild would be fine for the time being; the vice-chairman should be able to make good use of them. Even if other resonance-users caused trouble, the situation could be stabilized.
"Heh heh, easily done, easily done! If nothing else, I am quite confident in my ability to compose poetry on the spot!" Yu Xin did not stand on ceremony at all.
In front of Kyo Kusanagi, Chizuru Kagura, and the Emperor, Iori Yagami had actually declared his intention to kill Orochi.
Finally, there was Zhao Zhu. Watching the incredibly clumsy performance of the two guys in front of him, Zhao Zhu shook his head. He felt that he still needed a shred of integrity and a bit of persistence.
"I had already guessed your intentions when you arrived. Honestly, I am also puzzled by this matter and don't know exactly what is going on. Moreover, in recent days, our Sekent City has not sent large forces out to fight against the Zerg," Xie Yeyu said, shaking his head as he looked at the five people before him.
Wei Qiao explained Gao Ming’s intentions and then said, "Old Tian, why don't we put this matter aside for now and see how the situation develops?"
A fist stopped half an inch from the back of his head, the biting wind of the punch stinging his skin.
Upon reflection, a person who could even control dragons! Zhao Haining wiped a cold sweat from his forehead and, returning to his senses, hurriedly made emergency preparations for the peak tourist season.
This promotional event for the match was different from the pre-fight press conference; it was primarily an open training session to showcase the two fighters' preparations.
Natara appeared in the sea of flowers before her and slashed down with a blade, severing her right arm.
As soon as Wang Zhen finished speaking, the screen was flooded with all kinds of bullet comments, so dense that one could barely see Wang Zhen himself.
Yu Xuanji found it troublesome and did not want to look after an old lady every day. Moreover, she was responsible for commuting in the ancient district, so complaining about the hardship was inevitable. The best solution was to hire a housekeeper for Shang Meihua.
