Hao Nan slowly stood up from his seat, casting a gentle glance over in that direction, only to be instantly stunned. He discovered that the figure there had suddenly vanished; the black-robed person who had been standing there just a moment ago had unexpectedly disappeared. What was most startling was that he had not perceived the slightest hint of how the disappearance had occurred.

"Consider it a special reward. You're a good fellow, I like you very much. So, do your best to keep living." Li Xiaoyi smiled again, patted him on the shoulder, and then called for everyone to set off immediately.

Roughly ten days later, as mid-July arrived, Liu Tian fully recovered and was discharged from the hospital, allowing everyone who had been following the matter to breathe a sigh of relief.

Blue Ruoxin looked at the stone-rimmed well before her, completely unconcerned about whether any beastmen might come to steal the water. Since the groundwater of this well was so abundant, surely it would not be a problem even if more than a hundred additional people consumed it—why bother worrying about others coming to steal it?

"Master, please bestow your divine assistance. My army crusading against Shang has been blocked by Houyi outside Tongguan Pass," Jiang Ziya said directly.

Back then, Ling Xiao had truly and personally experienced a terrifyingly destructive Hyper Beam. The sheer power of that beam was such that, if it were him now, even if he managed to avoid a fatal hit, he would likely be not far from death.

Worth mentioning was the encirclement of the Oda-Tokugawa coalition forces: apart from the direction of the Shikigami, every other area was densely packed with soldiers. No soldier would be foolish enough to stand guard right beside a Shikigami; who knew if the Shikigami, while chewing on chunks of meat, might suddenly take a fancy to someone nearby and snatch them up for a ready-made meal?

"Captain, whether you accept it or not, your mode of thinking is truly limited to just this level..." In the end, Wu Xue finally uttered the reality that Li Xiaoyi refused to accept.

Whether Qian Yiwen understood or not, she nodded to me anyway, signaling that she understood.

Gu Xu was not alarmist; money could always be made, but good doctors were hard to find. For someone like Li Mazi, what opportunity would he ever have to come into contact with those top-tier medical giants?

Amidst his continuous sprinting, Xu Zhiyuan pulled out a health potion, poured it straight into his mouth without fearing of choking, and forced it down his throat.

Yan Shiyi's fingertips trembled slightly. He frowned, released his grip, and shifted his hand to press against Yilan's other wrist in a different posture.

Begonia nodded, and looking up, she discovered that a hole had been poked through the paper-pasted window, with a pair of round eyes peering through and sizing her up.

Although the wolf kings were ferocious beyond compare, the barbarian warriors were no pushovers either. Before long, both wolf kings fell one after another, and the people finally welcomed victory after a fierce battle.

Compared to those top-tier luxury car brands, BMW and Mercedes-Benz might not amount to much, but why do so many ordinary people still consider BBA to be classic luxury cars?

This was far more than just a playful banter circulating among Dota players; in countless professional matches of the past, the horrific sight of a thirty-net-worth Anti-Mage dropping dead in a fraction of a second was a frequent occurrence.

Seeing that the envoy before him remained motionless for a long time without speaking, his brow furrowed deeply, Ferryman Wei mustered his courage and called out twice.

White Harrier was forcibly fed a dose of dog food and felt extremely unhappy inside... It was precisely this scoundrel of a man who had snatched away his leader.

The events that had transpired on the street gradually returned to Gu Xiaobei's memory. At that time, Li Haonan had held her so tightly and resolutely, shielding her entire body within his embrace, using his own flesh and blood to resist the hard pavement.

"Heh, that's more like it." Lu Feiyang clapped his hands in satisfaction, a trace of a smile appearing on his face.

Facing Li Fengtian's torrential storm of attacks, Lu Feiyang relied on the speed advantage granted by his Flash Step skill, moving like a slippery, elusive loach, leisurely and effortlessly dodging back and forth amidst Li Fengtian's flurry of punches and kicks.

"Then accept Lin Xifang. Given his achievements in Shangjing, this young man is a phoenix among men. If we can place ourselves under his protection, the Ye family will surely restore its former glory in the future," Ye Tian pleaded.

"This is completely unreasonable..." The plump middle-aged man cast a stealthy glance at Hu Qiyan, suddenly feeling that Zhou Shigang was truly unfortunate to the extreme. To encounter this person in gambling on stones, could he still expect to win?

Glancing sideways at Wei Yan beside him, the pockmarked old man named Lao She finally took the time to measure Wei Yan up.

"This fellow, did he calculate that I wouldn't dare? Did he say that on purpose?" Xiao Kang noted Lu Feiyang's previous words, feeling hesitant and indecisive in his heart.

Initially, seeing Cao Yu holding a longbow, Roger had assumed he was a ranged attacker. Who could have known that this fellow would actually charge forward brandishing a longbow? Could it be that a longbow wasn't a ranged weapon at all, but rather a melee weapon that just happened to be shaped like a longbow?

"It doesn't matter, those guys are just slightly weaker in strength than me; you won't suffer a terribly painful death," the slaughter beast chuckled and continued.

In an instant, Lu Feiyang utilized changes in his speed and spatial positioning to evade the tiger's attack, landing squarely on its back. Following that with an all-out sword strike, he directly finished off the creature! In a flash, the tiger's body dissolved into a wisp of blue smoke in mid-air and vanished.

Having completed all this, he peacefully awaited the summons from Chongzhen. Drawing on his many years of official experience, he knew that if Chongzhen intended to take action against Jiang and Huang, he would certainly inform him in advance so that he could initiate the strike himself. Just as expected, that afternoon, Wang Cheng'en arrived at his residence to issue the imperial decree stating that the emperor summoned him.

"Oh, so the root of the matter lies here!" Driven by the desire to put his good friend at ease, Ning Yanzhang very considerately put on an expression of sudden realization.

It turned out that his father had once been one of the leaders of the Skill-Flow Fighters, having lost his life back when Zhuozhu was still a young child. Experts had determined that the wound was neither caused by a Sparrow Fighter nor a Sparrow Spellcaster, and the wound emitted a shimmering blue light, bearing a striking resemblance to the methods practiced by heretical paths.
