Fifty-five

At that moment, Ling Xiu immediately thought of his sister Ling Xue. Although they looked nothing alike, their abilities were the same; it was just that Ling Xue’s powers had not yet fully awakened and were beyond her control.

This heart of stone was even larger than the Giant Merchant Star. If it collided with that star, the destruction would be catastrophic.

“No, I heard a name,” the monkey’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had just caught wind of something incredibly exciting.

Of course, this was on the condition that the Mysterious Sword didn’t act up and that it worked the same way as the killing sword in the game.

“Good thing I didn’t take your word entirely; otherwise, I’d be a criminal in Konoha!” Kakashi said, drawing a kunai from his lower back and holding it in front of him—his intentions clear without a word.

Two million. After repaying Zhou Zhengyu’s external debt, there was still some left over. That was quite satisfactory.

“Our followers fought their way here,” Kyle replied, his tone tinged with caution.

They were quite surprised. The trigger for the battle in the Shurima Desert had been the unsealing of Xerath, which attracted various transcendent beings.

Seeing my grandfather’s fierce resolve now stirred a touch of excitement within me. Yet soon after, pain overwhelmed me, for no matter how determined he was, it seemed he could not escape this calamity.

The rain was damned. Because of it, he could not dismantle the formation above Fan City. If he did, the city would inevitably flood over time, yet there was no way to drain the water outside now. Given Fan City’s vast horizontal expanse and the immense energy the formation consumed, it was no wonder he swore loudly.

After dodging, Lin Yue dared not remain lying on the ground. The rat leader had turned direction and charged again. Lin Yue rolled several times, evading the rat’s pursuit, then swiftly countered with a side kick, striking the rat leader’s head.

“Liu Chuan, don’t speak. Some matters, just listen to me! I know you care deeply about certain issues—just like this great god sitting beside us. I’m sure you want to know his background!” Ying said.

At the exits and entrances, there were Liu family members, and the valley was constantly patrolled. But this valley was exceedingly complex, with caves connected one after another like a labyrinth. How could one possibly find anything here?

Perhaps it was because Ziling wore a cloak or because she truly possessed True Spirit Realm strength, but almost everyone on the street who saw her couldn’t help but linger a moment longer.

“Senior Qingcheng, I believe you already know. Time waits for no one. Let’s act quickly. Even if Lin Wudao arrives, what of it? We hold the Lonely Star; he wouldn’t dare make a move, right? If we delay any longer, we’ll lose our chance!” Liu Chuan urged again.

“Yes, Senior Linghu’s reprimand is justified. I was truly foolish. Liu Chuan, do you think this matter can simply be settled like this?” Qingcheng Aosnow looked at Liu Chuan.

Liu Chuan was also probing Duan Feng. They had captured so many people for a sacrificial ritual in the Nine Netherworlds. There was no way they would just let them go.

In just a few breaths, a dark spot appeared before them. If not Fang Yan, then who else?

Since the dawn of creation, the Five Elders of the Five Directions had rarely left the Kunlun Immortal Realm. This realm was the key to suppressing evil qi, and these five elders were the driving force behind this suppression.

Shops like this were common in the capital. Tao Xian planned to take Su Ruotong there for a date during summer, but before they could go, Chu Yuhu had already brought them drinks.

The Corpse King Hou turned his upper body, extended a hand with a smile, and said, “Bold slave, step aside.” A surge of energy blocked Wang Qingzhen.

Just as Liu Feng hesitated, the enemy struck instantly. Several yellow dragons soared into the sky. Then Sun Luban kicked down from a high ground. At that moment, Sun Luban activated magic immunity, jumped, and kicked Yuan Shao, who was hiding in the woods, into the air.

By 10:30, Murong Shanshan’s phone finally rang. We had already left the teaching building and were walking outside.

At the banquet, the guests gradually resumed their laughter and chatter. Each time Hawkeye appeared, they quieted down instinctively. But when the captain invited Hawkeye to join, the atmosphere lifted again.

The heavy sword hovered before Simon, then spun around, switching the positions of hilt and tip before landing firmly in his hand.

After several such repetitions, Nong Xue resigned herself to standing still, eyes wide as she stared at the approaching jackal demon, racking her brain for any means of escape.

“Eat slowly; no one’s competing with you,” he said with a smile at the corner of his lips—a gentleness and indulgence even he hadn’t noticed in himself.

A quarter of an hour passed. Seeing that Yalu had no intention of fleeing, Sanbao began to feel a trace of fear.

Zhao Yan clenched his fists until they clicked, staring at Denise’s wild gaze, feeling the blood within him surge uncontrollably.

Prime Minister Bai turned to Bai Shirou and asked, “Shui’er, is there something unusual in your room?” He was merely probing.

However, these silver wings were no ordinary flying artifacts but soul instruments, housing a fierce beast called the Great Wind at their core.

“Is it really that powerful?” Xue Pingshan asked, though his tone remained dismissive, as if suspecting Han Bing was bluffing.

That was negative energy, completely opposite to positive energy. Together, they formed absolute zero energy.

He believed that Kuang Shuai and Mei Yinxue were restricted by rules in their competition and could not enlist family experts. Thus, Qin Yang assumed the so-called expert Mei Yinxue had recruited was probably of the same caliber as Jin Biao, the younger brother of the sponsor.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, “A father knows his child best.” Old General Yang could tell from the cold tone that he was displeased.

As for Gantian’er’s claim of helping the hero spy on his opponent Gongsun Chuyu’s movements, Luo Xiaxia felt both resistant and disdainful.

Wang Yin thought Du Bian was courting disaster. Given his merits, even if he failed the graduation exam, he could still get a decent post. Yet he insisted on betting with Yan Shi—truly a path to self-destruction.

The alliance between the Third Elder faction and the Blood Bat was half completed, but it was entirely due to Yaru’s scheming.
