Chapter 59 (Combined Chapter)
Suddenly, another voice rang out: "The enemy has already appeared, what are the Eight Guardians of the Mausoleum still hesitating for?" Before the voice even faded, Leng Ruoshuang was overjoyed, recognizing at once that it was her eldest sister, Leng Rusue, who had arrived. Then, before everyone's eyes, a graceful figure leisurely materialized, revealing none other than Leng Rusue.
Immediately, her body levitated slightly above the ground, her pupils turned icy blue, and the extreme frost energy within her erupted instantly, like water pouring from a glacial spring in the abyss of ten thousand years.
She was forced entirely onto the defensive, utterly unable to cross swords with her opponent. Even though her true elemental power vastly surpassed theirs, it felt as though she were merely striking at the empty air, completely ineffective.
How could anyone possibly feel at ease placing high-precision instruments like servers in Konoha, a place that gets blown to smithereens every few days?
Qin Jie was not currently in Blue Star City, so the place was temporarily managed by Zhang Mo. Following Qin Jie's instructions, he had put up the signboard of an internet café.
Leng Ruoshuang and the others, however, harbored entirely different thoughts: "Two years ago, even though your Unification Sect and the Divine Wind Gang fought tooth and nail in Myriad Flower Valley, the two of you were chatting and laughing merrily. What hypocritical nonsense are you spouting here now?" Dongfang Bai threw his head back and laughed heartily, his face flushing slightly. Fortunately, his complexion was naturally rosy, so it was hardly noticeable.
The wound on his shoulder throbbed dully as the frost-fire magic of Frostmourne relentlessly gnawed at his soul, causing a numbness in his limbs that made him feel as though his entire body had been hollowed out.
Leng Yan was about to reach out and take it, but a second thought crossed her mind: What if Qin Jie had smeared poison on it to harm her?
With her graceful eyebrows, delicate nose, faint red lips, and water-clear eyes, she possessed an expression that seemed capable of melting anyone's heart.
She knew very well that the Tianyu Star had just undergone a massive reshuffle; countless individuals, from the geniuses of the younger generation to the powerhouses of the older generation, had perished.
Compared to their offensive, the retreat of the Blood Shark Mercenaries was even more rapid. Chen Xuan's elusive movements, terrifying lethality, and overwhelming strength had long since struck bone-chilling terror into the hearts of many.
Naturally, to successfully acquire the method for operating the "Reincarnation Realm," Yun Fan also took two other factors into consideration.
He had been deceived by him all along. Fortunately, however, he was not entirely foolish and had not revealed his trump cards to him, otherwise dealing with this fellow might have proven quite troublesome.
In fact, judging from the subtle, lingering smile at the corner of Thirteenth Aunt's mouth, one could tell she was not truly angry.
After leaving Sun Chenshang's home, Hao Zhengbei's mood grew even more sorrowful and heavy. Why was it that following Sun Chenshang's clues yielded no evidence of Wu Di's crimes? Were the clues incorrect, or had he misunderstood them? Could it be that the method he had devised simply wouldn't work?
As it turned out, in the lower left corner of the stone wall rested a crystalline green sphere, bearing a striking resemblance to jade.
Originally, he had gone to see Sun Chenshang with two objectives in mind. First, to inform him that no incriminating evidence against Wu Di had been found; second, to convey Tang Shiying's exact words to him. Yet when he saw how deeply nervous and terrified Sun Chenshang was, he could not bear to do so, deciding instead to let the matter rest for now and tell him later.
This was indeed bizarre. How could such a long and cumbersome heavy stone block possibly have been transported here through a maze-like passage—standing five meters high, how on earth did it negotiate the sharp turns in the corridors?
In truth, he could not sleep at all. His body ached incessantly, a pain that penetrated straight to his marrow, keeping him awake through sheer agony.
The fatty tumbled a bit dizzily, but thanks to his thick padding of flesh, he shook off his daze after a brief moment and snapped back to awareness. Rolling right where he was like a ball, he scrambled back to his feet and then slapped both hands fiercely against his cheeks.
Lin Ming chuckled softly, "I've fully grasped it now. Furthermore, I've comprehended some brand-new techniques based on these interlocking battle arrays." With that, he pointed his hand toward the two overlapping diagram arrays.
The men Cheng Yaojin had brought along this time were almost exclusively the veterans who had originally walked out of Wagang Village. Truly, those foolish bandits were down on their luck; of all places they could have gone, how dare they wander into Wagang Mountain? Wasn't that equivalent to walking right into a trap with their eyes wide open?
He simply crossed his legs into a lotus position, regulated his breath slightly, and circulated his spiritual energy at a leisurely pace to heal his battered body.
"I never expected you to be so formidable. Truly impressive!" suddenly remarked the voice from the roof that had just been standing atop the ruins, chuckling.
This was a very crude stone chamber containing several sets of skeletal remains. A platform carved from a massive boulder stood five meters away from the entrance, with a golden coin sword still piercing straight through its center.
Cold sweat poured directly down my face. Damn it, I am a ghost right now; if I die here, I'll truly be dead for good.
Rosa shot a suggestive look at Lao Kai. Tempted by the lure of money, Lao Kai had no choice but to bow his head and submit to Rosa.
Feng Yuan felt somewhat flattered. Watching Fengxun's calm expression, pure fire spiritual energy coursed through his body, and wherever it passed, his previously turbulent spiritual energy gradually grew docile. A wave of full and comforting warmth washed over him, causing Feng Yuan to break into a wide smile toward Fengxun.
"What is this?" Before he could analyze its medicinal properties, the pill melted instantly in his mouth and was swallowed down. Immediately, a wave of warmth enveloped his entire body.
Because the word had been put out since morning, it had attracted a massive crowd of people seeking medical treatment. The queue, which originally stretched from inside the Tianxiang Restaurant to right in front of Song Ningyao and her two companions, had now spilled all the way out into the alleyway, even obstructing the business of the neighboring cloth shop.
Fortunately, it was winter vacation, and the row of shops opposite the school was also closed. Otherwise, anyone seeing her like this would surely have thought a lunatic was on the loose.
Two guards hoisted Ye to his feet. Since the only bed in the room was already occupied, they glanced around and instead propped Ye up against the table.
The group exchanged glances and hesitated for a moment until Silvia finally couldn't hold back any longer. Using arcane energy, she condensed a hand in mid-air and reached out to touch the sphere of light.
As soon as the monkey entered, it saw Fang Zheng and the Lone Wolf beginning their meal, with fresh vegetable leaves still sitting in the Lone Wolf's bowl. Instantly growing anxious, it came running over with a strange cry, scooped out its own rice, and stared fixedly at the dandelion bowl.
