Volume 1, Chapter 42: I Give You a Chance to Live

At this moment, two graceful figures, one in black and one in white, stood atop the battlements of Yunzhou City. Both gazed motionlessly in the direction the carriage had taken, as if frozen in place. They were none other than Mu Hongxiu, the master of Wuxin City, and the Ice Fairy Mu Shengnan.

Helpless and with no other options left, Xuan Yuan Kang finally made the phone call. "Boss, Chen Feng and the others have found out about what Wang Lei did. Chen Feng feels that if we don't deal with him right now, it might genuinely pose a threat, which would be detrimental to all the students across the academy."

As Yao Shenghuang's voice trailed off, he and Bureau Chief Fang stepped out first, followed by the two police officers. Chen Feng cast one last glance at Sister Ping's face, sighed softly to himself, and then resolutely turned and left.

At that moment, Chu Tiannan spoke up, "No matter what, I cannot let my sister stay here alone. I am taking her back to Southern Chu." With those words, Chu Tiannan walked over to Chu Yu's tombstone, intending to dig up her remains.

Li Siwei looked at Shi Chuhqing, knowing full well that she was merely putting on a brave face, and her own heart ached for her.

Suffering a sharp pain in her body, the white flood dragon flew into a furious rage. Its massive tail lashed out violently, whipping up a fierce gale that swept toward Wei Chimu. This colossal tail carried a ferocious momentum, engulfing the entire well chamber. Although Wei Chimu managed to dodge, there was nowhere to escape, and he was squarely struck by the gale. The sheer force of it was as overwhelming as a collapsing mountain or an overturning sea.

Li Ling nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, Master! You may rest here for a few days then!" Having said this, Li Ling stood up tall, strode out of the Taoist temple, and headed all the way toward the peak of the mountain.

The White Emperor Mountain relied on agile footwork; the "King-Beating Ruler" would strike and instantly retreat, advancing the very moment it fell back, leaving behind a flurry of ruler shadows with every movement. The war drums of the Crimson Cliff were even more formidable. Without needing to close in, she merely flicked her fingers from a distance of ten feet, rapidly tapping the drumface to disrupt Ye Nansheng's state of mind.

Yet Du Sanniang was no pushover either. The moment she noticed the sharp-eared, monkey-faced pirate aiming his muzzle at her, she spun around gracefully, dodging the barrage of gunfire. Realizing his initial strike had missed, the pirate hurriedly redirected his gun toward Tang Jian, who was closest to him and posed the greatest threat.

When I woke up, it was already three days later. The instant I opened my eyes and gazed at the snow-white ceiling, my first thought wasn't that I had survived, but rather: *Good grief, did I die yet again?* Surely no one else had a more tragic fate than I—first dying in a car crash, and now being shot to death.

Lin Hong unconsciously nodded. At that exact moment, Long Ling's figure rapidly materialized in the sky above, a golden seal forming in his palm. He uttered not a word, radiating only an aura of grim, chilling slaughter.

Shortly afterward, Long Ling had the qilin stand guard for him, while he retreated into the space within the Primordial Sword. Cultivating this mental-power martial art within this realm proved to be far more advantageous.

With genuinely insufficient evidence to prove that Jasmine was the murderer, Bao Zheng had no choice but to release her. However, although she was now free, she was forbidden from leaving Tianchang County.

I ordered a mocha and a piece of Black Forest cake. Yue Tang didn't care for coffee, so she opted for a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

An uproar broke out among the crowd as they murmured and debated with one another regarding the validity of the views just expressed. Tang Jian signaled for silence, allowing Yan Fu to continue his lecture.

Chen Feng pulled out the only wearable, level-twenty piece of armor from his pack and put it on, then curled his body up just like the Qin brothers had done.

The Fengtian Army generals completely forgot what era they were living in; feeling as though they had been transported back to their bandit days, they immediately grabbed their weapons and charged directly toward Wang Zhenyu.

Su Ran had even secretly resolved in her heart that once the house was finished and she moved in, she would truly be together with Grey.

Just a moment later, the fragrance of the medicinal herbs grew increasingly rich. At the base of a hillside, a golden-yellow, fifteen-centimeter-tall, sturdy glossy ganoderma came into Li Ling's sight.

Squinting sideways at Yueyue Peng, Zuo Yan said, "Time is of the essence; I must return to the Wealthy District immediately. You are coming with me to explain this to the Chief Judge." With that, she ordered Lin Fan and Gao Jie to escort Yueyue Peng into the vehicle.

Mo Chuan approached and looked it over from top to bottom, filled with curiosity as he thought to himself that any meteorite capable of piercing through thousands of feet of gale winds must surely be extraordinary.

Not entirely; at least the contemporary English navy, aside from scaling down compared to the Portuguese, possessed formidable overall strength. However, England had not yet ventured out of the Atlantic at this time, and the Great Ming dynasty remained unaware of its existence.

Lomisar forcefully shoved Qing'er away. Xue Fei darted forward to catch her, the longsword in his hand coming to rest right against Lomisar's forehead.

The clone said no more, preparing to resume seclusion. Utilizing the Chart of the Nine Provinces and Four Seas to commune with the power of the Emperor Jiang Domain, he sought to attain the celestial realm of Taiyi.

Zuo Yanfa's expression shifted drastically as he hurriedly executed his divine abilities. Countless talismans swirled around him, faintly protected by the souls of tigers and leopards.

After Qian Ran's driver brought the car to a smooth halt, he immediately stepped to her side, lifted her luggage, and loaded it into the trunk.

The loyalty he had previously won now forged an even unbreakable bond. Liu Yifang made no effort to conceal it, and the radiant triumph on his subordinates' faces was visible to anyone with eyes.

His sneak attack was as swift as a lightning bolt. Had Salak dropped his guard the moment he turned around, he undoubtedly would have been unable to block it. But Salak had not; with a single wave of his hand, he slashed a path of green light through the void. The two bursts of energy collided, instantly neutralizing each other in mid-air.

It would have been a different story had Gucheng not activated his zone. Relying on veterans like Lao Bangcai and Liuzi—two hacking freaks—Guopi might still have possessed the confidence and strength to fight head-on. But under the current circumstances, there was simply no chance of victory.
