Volume One, Chapter 35: She Is Going to Betray Us
It was often said that the upbringing within the Zhang and Wang families of Sanshui County was extraordinary; though previously skeptical, witnessing it today was truly astounding.
This decisive battle, which would determine both the future fate of the Pure Land Sect and the life and honor of Funantu himself, had finally reached its ultimate climax.
Having never experienced such a scene, Lin Yuan was momentarily flustered. Even the previous time he had teased Honglian, it had been a deliberate, thick-skinned act, but this situation caused him to instantly lose his composure.
Six days before the mission time limit expired, under the guidance of spy satellites, all Burning Legion bases within the Mount Hyjal region were neutralized, including two relatively large, medium-scale bases.
The moment the towering demonic soul appeared, it felt a sense of unease. Lifting its eyes to gaze at the pervasive golden halo surrounding it, a look of astonishment crossed its face. Nevertheless, the giant entity struggled to raise its right hand, desperately fighting against the suppression of the soul tablet while condensing a massive seal of magical power.
"Very well, stay here. I will go resolve the issue." After noting the location of the battle mage, the Lord of Dream City summoned Mistella and entered the spatial tunnel in an instant.
Deep gouges were still visible in many places on the ground, as if the island had been hacked and hewn by blades and axes, leaving it in tatters. Whenever he encountered such areas, Fang Yan could only hide within the clouds and mist outside the island. Such large islands were the most likely to attract conflict, and the thinning water mist at the center of the island was unfavorable for his concealment.
However, Fang Yan possessed an even more powerful spatial treasure. Just as the great net was about to ensnare him, it triggered the blue bead he carried. In the ensuing clash of spatial forces, the horn-shaped artifact proved inferior, causing the black web to collapse instantly and allowing Fang Yan to break through with ease.
Qiu Buping stepped back three paces after retracting his fist, his face filled with terror. He had put eighty percent of his strength into that blow, yet he had failed to injure Manshan at all; the disparity in their power was simply too vast.
He was always surrounded by crowds wherever he went, accustomed to the myriad facets of the mortal world; how could he possibly remember someone like her, a mere passing traveler?
Opposite her, because Su Nuan had been spotted by zombies at the window, dozens of them swarmed toward the base of the wall, looking up and hissing at her. They occupied all the space beneath the window, making it impossible for a car to drive past.
"Who is it?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. As the screen lit up, she caught sight of the name and froze.
After the bodyguard left, Mu Chiyao remained standing before his desk in the same posture, his hand slowly tightening into a fist.
Xie Ci’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he cursed under his breath. He reached out to take the eraser from the rabbit’s hands, turned around, and without a word, wiped the blackboard clean.
Then, he turned to face Mu Chiyao, and just as he was about to speak, Mu Chiyao spoke first.
Taking advantage of the moment Taohua went to the restroom, Li Xiumo leaned over and whispered a few words to He Ziyan.
The young man licked his lips, his aura surging as he charged forward with his sword. The two clashed in a fierce struggle. Although Bai Jianjun was naturally gifted and possessed a decent magical artifact, his cultivation level was too low and his true essence limited. After a few attacks with his flying sword, his essence began to falter, and he was struck down.
Hao Yiren bit her lip. Everything Tong Lixi had done in the past was enough for her to hate her for a lifetime, but today, from the moment she sought her out, she knew that no matter how much she loathed her, she had to endure everything for the sake of Yichu.
Just as the men of the Third Young Master Liang attempted to leave the private room, someone blocked the way outside, refusing to let them pass.
Just like Alibaba in later generations, using a brand-new business model to transform the landscape of traditional industries, it was this kind of grand feat—setting a benchmark for social reform—that the Concern was most willing to emulate.
Generally speaking, in a "sitting in a well looking at the sky" scenario, the scene would be used to imprison a giant snake, but for some reason, they had used a giant tortoise here. This approach far exceeded Sha Chongba’s expectations.
A moment later, Han Bing stepped forward, stopping about two yards from the deep pit to unlock the formation; he was already well-practiced. This time, he did not even need the help of Luo Yingzi.
He was the "Number One Expert of the Imperial Guard," who had always been shrouded in mystery! When the fierce hawk Fan Qian had once caused chaos, it was he who personally stepped in to capture him, beating him to the brink of death.
He knew just how dangerous a wound involving the thoracic cavity and internal organs could be once it reached such a stage of infection.
Seeing that Su Yimo had awakened, Wen Wan hurriedly sat before her and asked, "How are you feeling? Is anything uncomfortable?" Su Yimo shook her head; she had merely spent a day in the sun, which had left her slightly dizzy, but it was nothing of real consequence.
The charm of blue amber lies in its inherent uniqueness: its origin is relatively singular, and its primary color is a rare, uniform blue. Such natural blue amber can currently only be found in Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
"It’s fine. The real investigation doesn't start until tomorrow; today is just about accepting the mission," Peng Liyao said to Feng Linhan, gesturing for him to follow. Since today was Feng Linhan's first day of work, it was only natural to treat him to a good meal.
