Chapter 56: I Invited Clerk Song Over for Dinner Tonight

Having its single horn pulled out, the crown prince dragon was no different from a heap of useless flesh, collapsing limply to the ground with breathing so faint it was barely perceptible.

Beyond combat effectiveness, attributes such as reaction time, speed, agility, and strength would all be enhanced by an immeasurable margin.

Presumably, because he had a huge falling out with Ai Tangtang earlier and felt too awkward to approach directly, he had disguised himself as a beggar just to come and watch the ceremony.

With repetitive yet resolute movements, this very action transformed the Fire Phoenix's leisurely stroll into a full sprint. The ensuing wave of heat left the silver-spotted leopard's consciousness blurred, its instincts screaming at it to back away and dodge, yet it was utterly unable to do so, let alone Jiang Hai who faced it dead-on.

As the three of them conversed, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the distance, causing the entire ground to shudder violently.

If Wang Zilin were truly some sheltered young lady of a wealthy family, how could she possibly work a part-time job on the weekends? Moreover, when her classmates engaged in a comparison of status, Wang Zilin would remain silent, and whenever others inquired about her family background, she would merely respond with a faint smile, offering no further elaboration.

Their clan had already offended the Flame Peak Sect and had no choice but to pledge allegiance to another faction. Naturally, the Hall of Yama would never deign to look upon them, so Jing Shi chose the seemingly unfathomable Chu Tianze.

Yet, emotional debts were the absolute hardest things to repay in this world, and some emotional debts were of a kind that could never be settled in a single lifetime.

Who could have anticipated that human calculations would fall short of destiny's decree, and such a crucial item would actually end up in Lu Yunfei's hands? This was simply impossible.

The bloody clash that should have taken place was effortlessly defused by Li Zhiyuan. The five ferocious and peerless wolves now had to obey the commands of that old wolf, who was none other than the master of the Wolf Hall.

Liang Tiancheng seemed to be whispering softly to the beast-bone saber, but no sooner had his voice fallen than the crimson glow radiating from the blade's surface grew dazzlingly brighter, its vibration frequency intensifying rapidly as if echoing Liang Tiancheng's sentiments.

"Xiao Hua, with our strength, we can form a battle array. Not only can we survey a thousand miles of territory, but we can also detect abnormalities within the Void Realm in advance. If fortune favors us by chance, we might even stumble upon certain treasures!" Upon receiving Xiao Hua's voice transmission, these Martial Gods all put forward suggestions, their contents largely identical.

With the sound of a whistling wind, the fist that had been on the verge of descending suddenly flew off course. That fist traced a circle in midair before ultimately smashing squarely onto Gao Wu's forehead, instantly shattering the momentum of his attack.

Witnessing the tense, sword-drawing atmosphere between the Yang Heavenly Sovereign and Bai Yu, the Devouring Night Demon Lord was also momentarily dazed. He had not expected the enmity between the two to reach such a stage, though he refrained from interjecting, instead offering a cold, internal sneer.

"Big brother, perhaps... we should fall back first!" Ye Xuan said hesitantly, gazing at the first chieftain's face, which was as gloomy as standing water.

Within the memories of these Martial God grand commanders lay numerous experiences of traveling to and fro across Heavenly Seclusion Island. Xiao Hua searched through them for any trace of a clue, but was unable to determine anything definitive in the short term.

Occupying high ground is always most advantageous for archers. Volley after volley of arrows shot out like a swarm of locusts, and one could see the monsters beneath the city walls collapsing in massive waves, one after another. Most of the slain monsters took arrows straight to the eyes, glabella, or heart. Because monsters possessed immense vitality and high defense, striking them anywhere else rarely resulted in instant death.

Zhang Hua slammed his hand down on the table and rose abruptly. Losing a mountain of gold and an oil field all at once meant that if his old man ever found out, he would surely skin him alive.

Xu Chen's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. Earlier, he had staked his life to confirm that the other party would not strike him down, and by fully exploiting that fact, he had managed to seize the initiative at every turn.

Seeing that Han Leitian was injured, Mesaide over there wanted to come to his rescue, but before he could, Lu Lümeng drove a halberd straight into his thigh. Blood gushed out profusely as he struggled desperately to flee, but Lümeng had no intention of affording him such an opportunity.

Ling Yefeng stretched out his large arm, wrapped it around my waist, and yanked me into his embrace, letting me rest within the crook of his arm.

First, you simply do not love the other person enough. If the love is insufficient, you cannot be together. Although you are adults, you must still take responsibility and pay the price for your own actions, must you not?

Mu Dongyou's stubbornness was no better than that of a plow ox tilling the fields; otherwise, he would never have fallen to his current plight. Mu Zhijun understood this better than anyone else.

The aura surrounding Ling Yefeng shifted from blue to profound yellow, and now to a pale purple. This step-by-step sublimation could only indicate that someone was secretly assisting him behind the scenes.

From the days when she used to treat him with utmost respect and courtesy, terrified of taking even the slightest advantage of him, to now being able to take the initiative to ask for his help.

If Lin Shujie were still alive, that would be wonderful. Perhaps she could still yield some useful clues.

Jian Yijun was truly the sort of person who would never panic, even if the sky were to fall, because panicking served no purpose anyway.

Ignoring Madam Ma's hysteria entirely, Madam Rong looked on with cold eyes as several matrons pinned Ai Qiaoer's head down.

Looking at the wine glass before him, Xiao Chen wore a deeply troubled expression. No matter how he looked at it, the cup simply felt far too large.

Zhao Kezhen gazed at Mother Zhong, gnashing her teeth in secret. This was no recuperation; she was clearly being kept prisoner within the estate. Though her three daily meals strictly adhered to the standards of a secondary consort without a single exception, her movements were confined entirely to this tiny square of the side hall, with Mother Zhong's people shadowing her every step.

I abruptly thrust both my hands forward, aiming straight for that pair of snowy peaks, and grasped downward with a ferocity far surpassing hers.

Complete the training and successfully pass the trials, and one can likewise become a qualified special operations soldier. Even if one fails to pass, they can still return to their original unit to continue their service until their term of compulsory military service expires.

A Ke felt helpless, yet she dared not make any drastic moves. Lowering her head, she covered her face with one hand, seemingly terrified of being recognized by others.

This was clearly the very hairpin she had given to Yuanyue last time. Raising her head, Yuan Xi found Xiao Rongzhan's stern visage greeting her eyes.

Mother Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager was like a red-crowned crane with broken legs, utterly incapable of standing up.
