“Actually, what he said does seem to make sense,” a woman in the crowd said timidly. “As long as we don’t go outside, we’ll be safe.”
Li Haixia loudly retorted, “What kind of nonsense is that? If something happens to the people outside, how long do you think we can survive? There’s no food or water here! If we don’t stand together now, we might as well wait to die!”
Sun Hu heard snatches of the conversation inside. He had never imagined that, after risking their lives to protect the people within, someone could still be so selfish. Furious, he kicked the door twice before raising his voice.
“People inside, open the door! We’re only taking some supplies; it’s not as though we’re asking for your lives!”
Hearing the shouts from outside, they...
The city’s action instantly intensified the conflict. Meanwhile, while asking the old man to investigate, Liu Chunbai led the entire newspaper staff—nearly a thousand editors and reporters—to the gates of the municipal government to petition the authorities.
Lu Qiao slowly rose to her feet. With a pair of bright, lucid eyes, she gazed clearly at the person before her, who looked utterly bereft. Without saying a word, she simply began tearing the newspaper apart, piece by piece, like scattered snowflakes falling into gray mud.
Huang Mie seized the opening and was about to slip behind Jinzhu, but the moment he took a step, Su Yelou appeared before him in a flash.
“Tiantian, just stay with me. We’re going to deal with Fan Zhesi,” Zhao Hongbing replied.
The information inside Neo’s mind was the inherited legacy of the entire Ugly Mermaid Demon Clan’s kings. It could be transferred to another person through a single kneeling motion and the recitation of an embarrassing incantation. In the strictest sense, it too was a form of energy.
“Xiang Yi! Enough—stop talking!” Yun Ci had also realized that something was wrong. Seeing my darkened expression, he cut him off.
For instance, the kind of strength possessed by power-based boxers, or the lethal combat techniques practiced by those in the military who devoted themselves solely to killing.

Ruoshui stared blankly at the fairy, unable to figure out what trick she was plotting. She wanted to talk to her about Bai Lei? Talk about what? Could it be that she still didn’t know Bai Lei had met with disaster, and had come to discuss why she had stolen her fiancé?
The dishes, long since gone cold, filled the entire table. It was obvious that Azhi had spent a long time preparing them with great care—all of them were dishes he loved.
Yet why did these people—the very ones who were always claiming to love and value him, the very people he had worked himself to the bone to support—insist on dragging him down?
At that moment, everyone was nearly on the verge of collapse. They stared blankly at the heavenly thunder that had descended from above.
With the He Family’s wealth and splendor, how could its young master possibly need to do such things with his own hands? And yet he had done them—not only once, but for many years.
In the neighboring room, Qiao Qing listened to the commotion outside. She lay on the bed with her eyes open, her right hand gripping a dagger tightly.
Nangong Chen smiled bitterly. Over the years, he had told himself those words more than a hundred times. But what use was it? He would still go mad for an entire night over a figure from behind that looked uncannily like her.
Wang Chendian’s voice was filled with terror. Not daring to let the fluctuations touch him, he hurriedly summoned the Heaven-Piercing Demonic Light to shatter the void and attempted to flee.
“No, there’s no need after all.” Bai Muqing waved her hand. She had no desire to make Nangong Chen lose face because of her.
And as for Fragrant Grass over there... she had failed to become a good person, and had probably already lumped me together with the criminal underworld.
Still, when they thought of the many legends concerning the Netherworld, everyone could only suppress their restlessness, not daring to cross that dangerous boundary lightly.
As a result, once they arrived, the mental states of the people from the Southern Hall contrasted sharply with those of the other three halls.
As the name implied, these were magical treasures linked to their owners’ lives. If a treasure were damaged, its master would suffer as well. In the past, those fellows would never have willingly offered up their life-bound treasures with both hands. But things were different now. Luo Feng possessed the ability to remove the karmic flames from magical treasures, so he naturally had no reason to covet their belongings.

Frowning, he brought the half-eaten senbei between his teeth before his eyes and examined it carefully. Recalling the hard, unyielding sensation from moments before, Karp could not help raising his head suspiciously to look at Sengoku.
Yet amid Kenpachi’s laughter, he turned his head and glanced around. The millions gathered in the venue had all been frightened into silence by Kenpachi. The scene was now as deathly still as a realm of ghosts.
“I’m not sure. By the time we escaped, he had already disappeared,” Shao Shao replied worriedly.
In this way, besides Ye Tian and the other seeded competitors ranked among the world’s top ten, several more contestants had also advanced to the second round of the elimination tournament.
He would never know that, before his Sluggish Light could reach Kaguya, it had already been blocked by the translucent Barrier of the Wind King. In other words, the Sluggish Light had no effect on Kaguya whatsoever. At most, it had slightly slowed the rotation of the Barrier of the Wind King, which made no fundamental difference.
When I heard Wang Xuemei say that she wanted to meet that evening, I immediately turned my gaze toward Bai Si, wanting to see what she thought. Bai Si’s expression remained unchanged, and she nodded at me.
If Glory was drawn over by the sound of those footsteps, it would inevitably have to cross Woodenhead and Dachun’s firing lines. Then everything would be perfect.
Qingtian still could not control them. But once Qingtian activated and released them, they moved about without restraint, directly corroding the souls of any living creatures they encountered.
He stamped violently on the ground and leaped into the air, bringing the enormous axe in his hands down upon the Barbarian Bull’s skull. At that instant, a dragon’s roar rang out through the void.
The two of them quickly ran ahead of Mo Xiuchen and the other man. Their aim was to appear at the right moment, strike up a friendly conversation with them, and coax a few secrets from their mouths.
Under Fu Chunrong’s watchful gaze, Yang Chao’s Shadow Demon fled miserably into the range of the defensive tower. It did not stop there, however. As if still terrified, it continued running toward the woods beside the tower.
