Chapter 28: Another Pair of Tall and Short

Following the great battle at the summit of the Giant Buddha, Ying Zheng emerged from the Lingyun Grotto, declaring that his grand undertaking was about to begin. Although Matthew did not know exactly what he planned to do, he chose not to interfere; the name of Qin Shi Huang carried more weight than anything else, allowing Matthew to place his absolute trust in this partner.

The group, who were about to leave, were taken by surprise when Kang Mingsong announced he had a decision to make, wondering what could have provoked him to declare it so urgently.

As Matthew’s internal energy erupted and collided with the overwhelming force of Might Guy’s fist, a tremendous impact surged through him, nearly sending him flying. He quickly applied a subtle technique to silently dissipate some of the force.

However, Jiang Yunzhu was a member of the Dragon Soul; regardless of anything else, her willpower was surely far superior to that of an ordinary person.

Ling Su was puzzled. Could the Empress really miss her? Although they came from the same place, they had not spent much time together, and Ling Su did not believe in the sentiment of shared roots.

At this moment, the wide, dark grey wings of the Night Pigeon were spread out like a butterfly specimen, mechanically pinned to a flat surface, her huge and graceful figure trapped within the groove.

Watching Yang Xiu’s despicable conduct toward the Wang and Yuan families, Han Shixiao trembled with fear, wondering how he would treat the Han family.

Yet, the system actually required him to release Cheng Heli. Could it be that Cheng Heli still held some utility?

"It’s over, Zero," Matthew said to the ethereal air as he reclined in his office chair.

"Uh, Gu Qian’ai, how did you know the table was broken?" Lu Fang steadied herself, trying to recover her voice.

Yue Qiantao scrutinized the two of them and pondered, "Decide among yourselves; one of you should go. After all, the World Chamber of Commerce is a massive enterprise that needs someone at the helm. Have one person go and gain some experience; it will be beneficial for the development of your Chamber."

I am going to sleep now; I can hold on no longer. I shall welcome the New Year in my dreams. As for the final ranking on the monthly ticket chart, it is entirely up to you all—I have done my best.

The three exchanged a malicious smile. A large man in blue clothes slowly drifted toward Yin Baikang. He was round and plump, his face greasy and shining, looking exactly like a wealthy landlord. This man was Pei Fang, the Lord of the Millennium Kingdom and a master at the late stage of the Deity Transformation realm.

The nature of the Erosion Rule dictated that every retreat rapidly consumed a vast amount of the opponent's rule-based power.

Moreover, since the Five Elements ability was being treated as a trump card, he could not afford to exhaust its energy now. Thus, Lu Shi only made slight use of his lightning ability, while his wind ability was used continuously, and his clairvoyance remained active. For everything else, Lu Shi shifted his focus entirely to martial arts.

"That's not right. I heard Perfect say that one divine artifact is worth ten ink stones," Beibei said, and Lin Lei immediately recalled it as well.

A dense sound of weapons being cocked echoed through the surroundings. Amidst the crisp clatter lay an infinite solemnity. The men of the Seventh Group had already leveled their Cayenne light machine guns, coldly surrounding the Zhong family's bodyguards. The pitch-black barrels exuded a chilling murderous intent.

From the time Zhou Rou was his homeroom teacher to the moment she fell for him without reservation and resolutely gave up her teaching career to help Lu Shi build his financial foundation, Lu Shi’s efforts—merely accompanying her or having the occasional meal—could hardly be considered equal to her sacrifices.

Although it was normal for cultivators to kill one another—after all, the struggle for the Dao was also a way of moving forward—he decided to let it be. After all, this company was not his; he would simply do as he was told to avoid losing his livelihood.

Suddenly, Wang Ze launched a surprise counterattack, catching Yi Ning completely off guard. But did he really think that alone would make her admit defeat?

Luo Li felt a trace of helplessness. It was not that she had never seen dead bodies; she had seen plenty a few months ago when Ye Tian saved her. But if it truly were Zhao Kuo, then even the heavens must have found him disagreeable.

After speaking, the man smashed the phone onto the ground, ignored the struggles of Feng Yinghua and Su Ruxue, and forcefully dragged them into the police car.

"Look, this is the sword." Xu Xiaoyu opened the suitcase, revealing the ink-black, primitive long sword inside.

Su Han’yu’s journey—from being a suspect to being accused by Su Ruxue, to her eventual surrender—was a dramatic life story in every scene.

After discovering the anomaly with the pig, Grandma did not dare delay for even a moment; she traveled across several villages to fetch the only barefoot veterinarian in the region.

The idea was sound, but the danger of conflicting thoughts was high. As luck would have it, another team had the same intention, and suddenly eight parachutes intertwined over the western sky of Y City.

Yuan Hetin had a habit: whenever he was free, he had to sit in a café for a while, and today was no exception.

I looked at the scene before me in confusion, having no idea what had happened. Then, as it dawned on me, a flash of panic crossed my face, fearing that my identity as a turncoat had been exposed.

Undoubtedly, there were many things in this room—many things with consciousness, thought, and even their own personalities.

The plane traveled over ten thousand miles from Dubai Airport to Rongcheng International Airport, arriving at ten in the morning. Li Wei looked at the beautiful terminal building outside the window, his face full of excitement.

However, he could only think about it; the stone coffin was too terrifying, far beyond his ability to intervene, and even speculating about it was difficult.

According to the Alchemy Chip, these one-time innate Gu insects were manifestations of the laws of heaven and earth. This one was the embodiment of the Law of Change, which was why it could break the restrictions of the Wild World and directly raise transformation-type skills by four levels.

He could consider SR cards, but as for SSR-level cards, Hou Muyun did not plan to think about them for now; the points required were too high, and he still had an unused "Invisibility Card" in his possession.

If that were the case, could there be some connection between this world and the one from before his rebirth that he was unaware of?
