Volume 1, Chapter 26: Hoist with One's Own Petard
Lin Yuan was still on the twenty-fourth floor, slowly browsing. He discovered several useful items on this level and purchased them all.
Countless beams of colorful light surged from the planet into his body. Within a few seconds, the planet lost its luster, becoming as lifeless as a giant meteorite.
The three of them had just stepped out of the hallway when they saw Bai Xiangxiang practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Her foundation was truly impressive; her movements were sharp and fierce, lending her a heroic and spirited air.
As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous glint flashed in Chu Wangxian’s eyes. He gripped a surge of powerful lightning in his right hand and unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Sword, a massive blade of lightning descending directly from the sky.
Xiaoyao’s fury was no less than Feng Luotian’s. Heaven knows that the moment he saw Yu’er in danger, his heart had nearly stopped beating.
It was unclear whether these beasts had been brought to Windmill Village by Garp for the training of Ace and Luffy, or if the island where the village was located was simply a dangerous place by nature. Regardless, these beasts were remarkably strong; if placed on the Grand Line, they would pose a challenge even to some of the novice pirates just arriving there.
Li Qiang, who was kowtowing with rhythmic thuds, could not have imagined that everything before him was merely an elaborate play performed for his benefit.
The consciousness of rules is a planet’s stress response. For instance, if humans cause severe destruction to a certain area, and that location happens to be the planet’s center of gravity, natural disasters will descend—a form of viral clearance.
Hearing that Lin Cheng was willing to exchange supplies for information, Yegor felt an immediate sense of relief. He thought to himself that although this guy always kept a cold face, he seemed quite reasonable, so he nodded quickly to signal him to continue.
The divine abilities of the three men shattered into fragments the moment they touched that peerless shockwave, unable to inflict even the slightest harm on Lin Yuan.
“Mother, I want to go out and find a job,” Su Shi’an said softly after they had moved far away from that eerie building.
Guo Yangyun regretted his words the moment they left his mouth. What if Ye Shuo really demanded his life in exchange? He looked at Ye Shuo with a guilty conscience, while Ye Shuo appeared deep in thought.
The two stood face-to-face on the arena once more. The black, malevolent aura swirling around them refused to dissipate, whistling and circling the pair, drawing gasps of awe from the spectators.
This was the first thought that flashed through Lin Yu’s mind, and a sense of overwhelming terror swallowed him instantly.
The words of the security guards caused the expressions of the “Evil Trio” to change. They exchanged glances, and after a brief standoff, the man in sunglasses burst into laughter again.
“This...” The youth was taken aback by the unexpected answer, his expression freezing as he found himself momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
Nezha knew that he was no match for Wukong, and seeing that Wukong had shown him some restraint, he acknowledged his defeat and withdrew.
Looking at the number on the stone pillar, a gasp of amazement rippled through the grand hall. This Qin Xiu had nearly broken nine hundred, just a hair’s breadth away from Su Yanran’s record. Give him a little more time, and he might even surpass her.
Lady Tang gritted her teeth and said, “She is dreaming.” Her son was her lifeblood; she would never let Lady Cheng raise him. If Lady Cheng raised him to be a good-for-nothing, the one who would end up crying would be her.
Seeing the blood, the passengers in the cabin panicked, screaming loudly. They wanted to flee but did not know where to run, cowering in their seats and sobbing in terror.
Subsequently, as the alien seaweed began to spread, Chen Hao suddenly struck, channeling his mana to empower the third-generation Xuanyuan sword, unleashing a blade aura directly at the alien growth.
Sitting on the ox cart, Liu Yuanqiao dared not open his mouth or his eyes, fearing he might lose the resolve he had found the previous night. The cart traveled further and further, and Liu Yuanqiao moved ever further from home.
If you remain stagnant on the path of transcendence because of your father’s existence, you will be looked down upon by those in the latter half of the journey.
She took a deep breath. Although her condition had not fully recovered, it no longer hindered her ability to fight.
The follow-up to this connection is for you to solve yourself. Time is limited, so let us return to the previous question.
Although Chen Hui was also pale and trembling from the sudden turn of events, she knew they were not yet out of danger and immediately helped translate for Qin Yang.
Qin Yang himself hailed from the Hidden Sect. As the future sect leader, the power and resources at his disposal were immense.
But then, hearing that Yun Ping was still in prison, Yun Shiji grew confused. If she had a high-ranking official as a backer, why was she still in jail?
Long Yue never expected that Qin Yang’s so-called reliance would be something as crude and simple as a gun. After all, firearms were strictly controlled in China; private possession was a major crime, and ordinary people had no way to come into contact with them.
“Huo Jingyi, by the way, people in the entertainment industry are all good at acting. Are you?” Ye Jiangi looked at him.
If Wang Ruoyu’s benevolent nature gained the upper hand, it would be a great thing for Su Muyue. At the very least, she would no longer have to rack her brains worrying about Wang Ruoyu coming after her.
The man flashed Qingrong a sunny smile, a smile that made her feel as if she were seeing Senior Xuan Ming again.
Seeing this, Yan Yanqi raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the two of them before she pulled Bo Qichen inside.
During this period, Ye Jiangi had indeed gained some weight, and her complexion had become rosy—not as haggard as she had been in Chicago.
The other zombies had no objections to this proposal. They nodded and set off in different directions; after all, the sea of corpses was controlled by green-eyed zombies, making them quite easy to subjugate.
A knight dies to save a princess. Although it is not the knight’s intent to make the princess spend her life in guilt, he hopes she will not forget him, and he hopes she knows that the knight truly loved her.
Sun Ce stood on the riverbank, staring blankly at the rolling Yangtze River, his brow furrowed with worry and unease.
In less than a day, the structures on the surface of the half-fortified Yijing city walls were razed to the ground, and several sections of the wall had begun to collapse.
Mili dragged Lu Qifeng to the sofa. She turned the laptop around to show him.
The man was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and shot a hesitant glance at Huang Xing before scrambling up from the ground in a panic. Huang Xing reached out, pulled the man onto the horse, and they hurried away along the shallow trench.
But that shouldn’t be. The area had been tightly surrounded by guards sent by Liancheng. What assassin could have the skill to brazenly push open the doors of the bedchamber to carry out an assassination? I clutched the quilt tightly, holding my breath.
