“The man—hmm, not old, quite handsome, and even carrying a knife…” Li’s third son exclaimed with shining eyes as he gestured excitedly.
The herdsman paused momentarily, hesitated, then hurriedly lifted and retreated, prompting someone nearby to inquire about the situation.
The punch that was thrown carried a fierce gust of wind; Su Can had no time to dodge, and Zhang Qihang had already rushed between Zhu Tong and Su Can. He saw that the punch was powerful enough to at least knock Su Can unconscious.
Of course, Zhang Qihang’s nature remained the same as before—forgetful and not holding grudges—but the dangers he had faced over the past two years had instilled a latent ferocity in his character.
Qiu Ye Hong was stunned, glancing at the horse. Despite being tethered, it trembled unsteadily, its eyes fixed and unblinking.
Yi Feng was furious. Shidai’er had said, “Even worse than Yi Feng.” The demon queen continued, claiming that a man as outstanding as him was scorned to such an extent.
Even Feng Yuan, with whom he had a slight friendship, was no good. Feng Yuan was proud, but his pride was vulgar and crude. Yue Jue believed his own pride was the true pride—like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, illuminating the earth, yet forever beyond the touch of the common folk.
“For your friend, would you be willing to do anything? Even at the cost of your reputation and honor?” Toman’s voice was heavy with sorrow.
Chu Xianyun was shocked, hastily stepping back and drawing his sword. But whether due to his depleted energy or the beast demon’s magic, the spiritual sword seemed fused to the beast’s body, impossible to extract.
Reckless moves would lead the four sect cultivators to respond in one of two ways: either flee the Feather Wing Peak and wreak havoc elsewhere, or concentrate their forces to besiege the Taiyi Palace cultivators. Neither option was what he hoped to see.
I gazed at Gao Ning’s face, always sensing that this fellow harbored many secrets. Unfortunately, he would never tell me, and I had no way to find out.
The funeral delegation did not stay long, mainly escorting Elder Zhuang’s coffin on a circuit before returning to the quarantined spaceship. According to the plan, Yu Zhe and the others left the “New Mountain Peak” and boarded the “Effer” spiritual escort ship. The fleet slowly departed from Jinghai Spaceport, beginning its orbit around Earth.

Su Lin said nothing and led a large group, including a live TV crew, toward that secluded corner.
To Han Feng’s dismay, Senior Sister Xie was only admiring the splendid stars; the strange cry just now was merely her marveling at the dazzling night sky. She hadn’t noticed the chess formation above her head at all.
The power difference between mid-stage and late-stage Foundation Establishment was instantly apparent; though only a single grade apart, the gap was vast.
When Han Feng cast his gaze toward the stone bed opposite him, he found a pair of familiar large eyes scanning him.
Wang Kun did not linger long in the capital. On one hand, his rank and status were sufficient to participate in this event, but appearing among a crowd of generals and officials as a civilian felt incongruous.
It was because you were just a private individual that others habitually took advantage of you. If you really managed to get something, the credit would naturally belong to the leaders and officials. As for any loss to a private person, who would care? Just a commoner. What resistance could you possibly mount?
“Qiudie, don’t worry about me! Hang on!” Jiang Dong shouted fiercely. No matter what, he could not let Qianjiang escape today. As three arrows flew toward him, Jiang Dong hastily drew a wooden plaque and struck them down directly.
However, the three dark crows flapped their wings vigorously but still found they couldn’t catch up.
Three days had passed since the oil tanker crash; now the whole world was focused on Tokyo, yet the government offered no comment on the cause.
The insane throngs and the enormous ram-headed demon in the distance together painted a hellish tableau.
Because the group included Bai Ling, a sorcerer, the elves invited everyone to visit the Elven City as guests.
She didn’t cry when she learned her husband had been replaced by an old man, nor when she was banished by her grandparents. But now she cried, laughing and crying at once.

At that moment, a black wave of light suddenly flew toward Gemu, striking him. The black wave was Rin’s magic, but it caused no real damage, only pushing him back a step. If Gemu were an ordinary person, he’d at most catch a cold for a couple of days.
Doctor Ma said Jin Daxi’s condition was not incurable, which was why the Wang family insisted on handling the medicine personally.
In the third round, Hayward finally missed his shot under Igodala’s tight defense. And what about Yiyang? Despite facing a triple blockade from Feivos, Neto, and Lyles, he still miraculously scored.
Mo Ran grabbed Yun’er, used ghostly energy to rise up, leaving Jifeng below utterly baffled.
Yan Sheng fixed his gaze on the blue figure chatting and laughing with those nearby, his eyes even smiling—so unlike the cold, fearful, and loathing looks he usually gave me.
I had a good chat with the future famous director, university student Iwai Shunji. Of course, mostly to hear his future aspirations and to paint grand visions for him. This is a skill every company president must master; a president who can’t inspire his subordinates with dreams isn’t a good one.
The duel arena not only offers the chance to earn substantial rewards in a short time but also hones the combat skills of fighters like Kira.
Yet at this moment, no one cared about such matters; the forbidden spellcasters chanted in unison, each clutching their forbidden magic, ready to unleash.
“Haha, you’re too modest, Kimura-san. Your debut single has sold over a million copies this time. I’m very pleased. The agency has decided to reward you. I wonder, Kimura-san, what would you like?” Nozaki Junfu said with a smile.
