Chapter 142: The Bronze Key

Chu Yuyao almost tripped over the threshold and darkened her face at the words, "That pervert didn't actually itch to death? Yun Shuwan, that poisonous flower, really has decent medical skills; she actually managed to antidote that black-hearted lotus's Spring Breeze Smile."

Regardless of whatever conspiracies the two of them were hatching, they could not escape the system's detection, and she didn't care in the slightest.

The system was breakdancing in her sea of consciousness: [There's something even more exciting~ That poisonous flower found out that Chu Ruyan was the one who secretly contacted Li Qianjue, yet Li Qianjue fell right into your trap and was caught like a turtle in a jar, and now he is frantically sowing discord.]

The loosed arrow possessed infinite power, and with a swift whoosh, it left a massive void right in the center of the puppet's chest. Sobel had "killed" him for the second time.

①: If "Nether Knight Tristan" exists on your own field, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand.

As the voice faded, a gust of wind blew the door open, sweeping across his face. The wind was bone-chillingly cold, carrying a sharp, murderous intent that startled Old Hei into a violent shiver, making him too terrified to even move.

肖林还以为是自己最先采取行动... (Note: All source text must be completely translated into English without leaving any fragments).
Xiolin thought he was the one who took action first. In truth, what he did not know was that the Adams family and the Pandi family chose not to wait until everything was fully prepared this time. The firearms had already arrived, and the new gunpowder technology had also entered the production phase. Filled with confidence, the two families discussed the matter and chose to take the initiative ahead of time.

This was not because the remaining people could no longer afford a higher bid than four million, but rather that upon hearing the bidder was Fifth Xiu, they all harbored some hesitation.

The general referred to Huai You. Huai You's subordinates did not hesitate to use their lives as the price to cover his escape. Even when facing an enemy with an overwhelming disparity in strength, even when they had only one last faint breath left, and even if it could only buy them a single second of time, they never gave up.

"Xuan Ke is right! Furthermore, Qiaominzi is, after all, a town mayor. Even if it can be proven that he is guilty, he must be dealt with through formal judicial procedures. To carry out unauthorized sanctions against high-ranking government officials without conclusive evidence is to invite a nationwide manhunt by the state," Taloyi added sternly.

Whenever anyone mocked her, her older sister would fiercely scold those people away and comfort her, telling her not to take it to heart.

Her lips were trembling, and her body was shaking as well. She found it unbelievable that the man before her, who was so lofty and arrogant, could utter such cold-blooded and ruthless words that instantly pushed her to the brink of collapse and utter despair.

As long as these cultivation techniques were acquired by Lü Jue, they would be directly imprinted into his mind, instantly propelling him to the pinnacle of mastery.

The previous second, she was saying on the phone that she was working overtime at the company, and the next second, she appeared at a club, arm-in-arm with some other wild man.

Lu Ze asked Cheng Ran for some food and water to continue satisfying his hunger, and later even requested a damp towel to wipe his face.

After school, Chen Guoguo spent several consecutive days unable to find Liu Xu'er and threw tantrums demanding her mother. Madam Chen had a splitting headache. At present, her mind was entirely consumed by Baozi, and her meticulous care for Chen Guoguo fell far short of what it used to be.

A flash of blade light swept past, and more a dozen figures were sliced directly in half at the waist. Blood surged forth like a fountain, while the blade light continued to sweep horizontally without the slightest pause.

Although the Xuan Sect existed independently, it was ultimately constrained by the laws of China. The consequence of going head-to-head with the police would inevitably be serving time in prison.

"An'an, why haven't I seen you like eating this before? Didn't you dislike chicken drumsticks?" The old woman remembered An'an's preferences and asked in confusion.

"This concubine pays her respects to the Empress." Consort Ying curtsied, her eyes darting incessantly toward the inner chambers.

"Can I afford not to nod? If I don't nod, His Majesty might really hand over the mortal commoners in Jingji City to the Ximen family to manage. Who knows what kind of public outrage and grievances that would stir up by then?" Nan Gong Yuhuan said with exasperation.

"Second Brother, I came here on my own! These people have nothing to do with me!" Qin Yu hurriedly distanced herself, afraid that things would go poorly if Qin Leng refused to play along with her.

"This is the Bronze Palace; why are there so many piles of bones here?" Xue Xinrou asked with trembling apprehension.

"Everyone, as long as you wholeheartedly follow the Fang family from now on, and as long as you do not betray the Fang family, I, Fang Mu, swear here today that even if the Fang family is ruined and every member executed, we will never fail you."

"You think you can snatch my double swords? What a joke!" Miss Mavi thought Jack was telling a dark comedy! Could that possibly happen?

During his years in the Fang family, old Li Toutiao had felt the kindness of the Fang family members, and Fang Tianhao had also treated him quite well. Upon first entering the Fang family, Fang Tianhao had instructed someone to send him a set of clothes so he could change out of the tattered rags on his body.

Perhaps misfortune will befall you, but please do not blame me; shift your hatred onto someone else instead.

Immediately following that! Just as Fang Tianhao finished speaking, a continuous series of miserable screams echoed from within the manor, cries so tragic they pierced the soul. The father and son exchanged glances, but before they could even step inside the courtyard, they saw Huzi running out in a panic.

Yet when she drew close to Meng Xiao, she caught a faint fragrance coming from her—the scent of that green liquid—and her narrow eyes slowly shifted toward Lu Mengxiao's hands.

Su Jue frowned slightly; he had no idea what wrong medicine Yu Manyao had taken to actually want to compete with her for victory or defeat.

Jue Zhiyuan, hiding inside the dressing room, saw Fan Xixi being hijacked by Fan Jingyun and wanted to rush out to protect Fan Xixi at the very first moment. However, when he gently pushed the dressing room door, he found that it had been locked from the outside.

Passing through the wide practice ground led straight to the cafeteria. Though nominally called a practice ground, it was actually an arena where the school permitted students to challenge one another, and it was also invariably the venue for the finals of successive ranking tournaments.

Heh heh, Fatty Dong still possesses some tactical acumen after all, actually arranging a stunt like this. Are your eyes blind that you can't see the general's armor I'm wearing on my body?

He never expected that Ji Jinshu and Lin Shiyuan would have such a close relationship, to the point where he could even act in the capacity of her father.

The two major divisions of forces led by Liu Tianhao and Zhang Liao converged head-on, suffering zero casualties.

"No, a week is too long. I have to go back and see Jue Zhiyuan right now; if anything happened to me, he must be worried sick." Having been away for such a long time, Jue Zhiyuan would surely be deeply worried, and she could not just vanish without a single word.

He was a mature and tall man, enveloping her within his protection like a mountain.

When she ran to that tree, Xun Qing saw that the person hanging from the tree was already dead, eyes wide open, pupils filled with bloodshot veins, mouth agape, and tongue protruding.

After a lapse of thirteen years, the Lu Family Village no longer existed, and Yuxi Town had become synonymous with that event. After thirteen years, the people of Ren County not only failed to let go of that incident but instead regarded it with fearful reverence—awe in the face of death and an instinctive dread of unsolved mysteries.
