Chapter Forty-Nine

For Zhao Xian, he could completely disregard his kinship with the Jiang family, but he could not simply turn a blind eye to his biological mother. If Northern Qi used his mother, Jiang Yao, as leverage, then even if he could harden his heart, he would have no way to face his younger sister, Zhao Ling'er, in the future.

Although he had already seen the truth, Ning Ye did not directly puncture the thin veil of pretense between the two of them. Piercing it would only make things more awkward; it was better to simply keep it as an unspoken understanding.

However, the Immortal Lord of Annihilation was utterly confident. The Sword Master before him was undoubtedly doomed, because this blood sword condensed from a crimson radiance did not merely attack the physical body; it also carried the blood poison of the extraterrestrial celestial demons from beyond the heavens. It would erode the soul and ultimately reduce the opponent's body and spirit to a pool of blood, from which even an immortal could not escape.

The deputy commander was just about to speak when a steel blade plunged directly into his chest. He felt as though his entire body had been instantly hollowed out, and the gushing blood, washed away by the torrential rain, vanished without a trace in an instant.

Zhao Bing had toiled in Lin'an City for the greater part of his life, finally establishing a home and finding someone to carry on his family line.

The Tulou was truly devoid of fear. Upon seeing Bai Tianxing and his party, it still swaggered over from the other side toward the pool.

Hearing Zhao Xian's question, Zhao Xi cast a somewhat awe-filled glance at Gu Pingsheng and then shook his head.

"Here is the situation: the spoils we harvested from this giant ant defense battle are as follows: 114 giant ant carcasses, three ordinary grub carcasses, one golden grub carcass, 24 ant legs, and 5 giant ant larvae," Red Leaf repeated to White Wolf what she had just said.

As he spoke, the long sword in his hand transformed into a streak of stunning brilliance, fiercely thrusting toward Yu Liuming's throat... Yet in the very next instant, the figures of Yu Liuming and Shui Roubing vanished from the spot, flashing away a zhang outside in the blink of an eye.

The two exchanged glances, and Fang Min finally picked up her handbag and walked out of the coffee shop. Lin Qingqing sat alone in her seat, her gaze lingering on the office building across the street. The fortieth floor of that place had originally belonged to Ouyuan Lan; originally, he could have had a brilliant future. But now, because of her, everything was gone.

The aura of the Five Elements Yin-Yang Disk was indeed effective. The black mist seemed to harbor some dread toward it, and under the pressure of that aura, it began to slowly retreat from Qin Haotian's body.

Thirty thousand! This stone sold for thirty thousand! Even though Tang Haishan was not particularly short of money, at this moment he felt utterly aggrieved, gritting his teeth as he paid the sum for Chen Fan.

A series of heaven-shaking shattering sounds rang out. Under those nine flames that seemed to connect to the firmament above and lock down the mortal realm below, the defensive divine abilities of the three shattered instantly, their entire bodies bound by the three-colored fire chains.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Eohrs led his followers up to the altar and knelt on one knee before Tazers on the circular dais.

While smiling and offering words of consolation, Jin Sheng-han reached out and gently pulled Jessica's hands away from the iron railing bit by bit.

After bidding farewell to Jin Hongtu, Qin Haotian returned to the hotel. Having stayed out the entire previous night, he had indeed caused Elder Su and the others some worry.

Only then did the crowd truly comprehend the terror of the elemental warriors. Fortunately, amidst Bai Qi's stern shout, the frost-type mages had already finished chanting their spells. With a wave of their hands, successive magical ice shields materialized in front of the defensive swordsmen.

At that moment, Chunyang gazed at the stone tablet. On this dilapidated and weathered monument was carved a line of characters: Punish the treacherous and eradicate the wicked, vanquish evil and promote good. Our victory is the stability of the world. Our generation should understand why our fists are clenched, and future descendants must remember.

Aboard the airplane, Jin Ruoyan's mind kept replaying the question Jin Sheng-han had asked her at the dinner table a few days prior. Later, when she met up with Yoona, she discovered that Yoona seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

Jiang Xiao had come here naturally to search for the Heart of the Holy Azure Dragon. Having acquired the Wings of the Holy Vermilion Bird, he channeled their aura into the Heavenly Mystery Treasure-Seeking Lock, and sure enough, two rays of light appeared on the lock, pointing toward the Black Water Poison Pool and another perilous location known as the Purple Thunder Canyon.

Anthony was quite a notorious figure on the forums, active in the dark underworlds across the globe, known for his ruthlessness and cruelty.

Accompanied by bursts of exclamations, columns of decked-out knights clad in golden armor marched in with elegant dressage steps, hoisting banners bearing various family crests as they advanced in the wake of the Dawn Silver Knights.

The flea market was located right beside the coliseum—a tall building guarded by several sentries at the entrance.

Seeing that Beigong Tai's reaction was so decisive that he simply turned and left, Jiang Zhonghou felt a pang of regret. Did this count as him leaking information?

Meanwhile, Fang Huaian, Li Jiu, and their group had already drawn their weapons and launched an attack against the dozen or so troublemakers.

After heading out this time, I unexpectedly learned a piece of news from the Ancestor of Demons: it turned out that he and Hongjun were chaotic twin conjoined demon gods. When Pangu cleaved open the heavens, the two of them were separated by the Heaven-Splitting Axe, each taking half of the primordial essence to the primordial world.

Of course, Lu Shu was no divine fortune-teller; he couldn't foresee everything. At the time, he had simply brushed off the topic of being tracked with a casual remark. As for whether Yuan Liangtuo and the others actually bought anything or not, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

In the end, the faction led by Nangong Yunyao and the others emerged victorious. After all, they possessed fourteen intermediate-stage spirit masters, plus a veteran at the high intermediate stage, completely overwhelming their opponents.

When they looked back in terror toward the ocean floor, they were astounded to find Lu Shu looking calmly back at them. Ocean currents surged around him, wrapping and swirling in bizarre lines, making him resemble a deity of the deep sea.
