After that brief exchange of blows, Li Nan had gained a rough understanding of the difference in strength between the two sides. Apart from the team captain, an exceptionally handsome man who had not yet made a move, every member of the Warring States Unmatched team was extremely powerful. If both sides truly fought to the death, then even if his side won, they would probably lose one or two members.
Zhou Xingshan was also astonished that Shen Tian had actually gone on strike, even threatening not to return to work unless he bought a car. There was even the matter of his accepting red envelopes from suppliers.
Thinking of Huo Qubing, the Son of Heaven could not help feeling melancholy. As a result, he paid particular attention to the “Xiping Post Station built by the Flying Cavalry” mentioned by Zhang Yue.
It turned out that everyone in Zhou Laosan’s family was a university teacher. Li Xiuxiu was filled with envy; in both of her lifetimes, she had always looked up to intellectuals.
“How can this be?” In the five hundred years I have spent treating patients with heart ailments, I have never seen a pulse this chaotic. An ordinary immortal with such a pulse would have died long ago.
That was why Zhou Laosan’s family had been forced to return to Jiangtian City with nothing and seek refuge with Zhou Zhu’en.
“What is the Cosmic Cocoon? How can it be so powerful?” Wu Gu asked in confusion. Although he was also from the primordial world, he did not really understand what had happened in Chaos.
As soon as his voice fell, there came a tremendous crash. The door to the sleeping hall fell straight down. The senior disciples were so frightened that they leaped far away.
Yet at that time, no one had imagined that a rift would appear within the Service Department.
From far away, he saw that azure stream of heavenly water descending from the sky and reaching the Immortal-Chasing Cliff, the place where he had encountered it. It turned out that when I became lost, I had unknowingly reached the boundary of the Jade Clarity Realm.
He was grinning from ear to ear. After dinner, he even wandered around the shopping mall here with Tang Chi for a while.
At the TD North Shore Garden Arena, the game had reached the final quarter, yet neither side had gained the upper hand. The very first game of the regular season was already this intense, leaving the spectators both surprised and thoroughly entertained.
Lu Yiyi had not opened the ledger to examine it closely at the time. Still, she had indeed found it strange that Xu Ruiyun was carrying a ledger—and not just any ledger, but one belonging to the Qiucheng Heavy Machinery Factory.
She had never been one to tolerate being taken advantage of. Everything had begun because of He Xize, and Xie Guangyao had probably noticed something as well. That was why he had said those words.

After saying this, he placed one hand on Cai Tao’s shoulder and brought the wine cup to Cai Tao’s lips with the other.
However, after He Xize talked things over with them, everyone compromised. Feng Miaomiao did not go abroad after all, but remained in the country, drifting from one major fashion week to another. She was rarely home; after staying for a few days, she would fly off again.
In her heart, the words “spend a lifetime together” seemed far too extravagant. She knew that Yan Weiming treated her well, but she did not dare guarantee that she could truly entrust her life to him.
After the Great Revolution, Yan Xin bade farewell to everyone and left on her own, taking with her the children of Lu Guangzhong and Xiao Ruifeng. Thus, Lawyer Li had known nothing of Lu Qiming’s situation until she encountered Lu Yiyi.
The other task was to familiarize themselves with the ship’s performance and learn how to operate it under the guidance of Chief Technical Engineer Lao Wang. Once the other unit arrived, they would study the weapon-operation materials together.
“Do as I say. Everyone, follow me. I’ll let you take revenge later.” Shen Feng’s voice was cold and carried an unmistakable command.
With Andrew taking the lead, the other young people from the Stars and Stripes nation also understood what these Gypsies intended to do. There was no need for anyone to kick them down; one by one, they knelt on the ground.
“May I ask, my lord—having lived in Chang’an for so long, do you understand the official tongue of other regions?” Wang Ping’an asked again. The official tongue was simply the speech of Chang’an.
“Priest Mu, you seem to have misunderstood. We are the Venom Fang Squad. We have only just returned from the Savage Wastes, and no one sent us.” The young leader spoke while forcibly suppressing his rage—the rage that wanted to reduce everyone present to dust.
After the Taiji diagram blocked the attack, it vanished. But Rose understood that Ning Yue could make it appear again at any time, so long as he wished.
Wang Ping’an also silently memorized the names of the three men, lest he embarrass himself later. What he had not expected was that his own grandmaster would be there as well.
“It isn’t sorcery. It is a genuine medical art, though its theories differ from those of Western medicine. In your words, all roads lead to Rome. Whether you travel by water or by land, you may still reach the destination.” Wang Wei explained this to Sterling.
With that, he pushed open the commander’s chair with a creak, rose to his feet, lowered his head, clasped his hands behind his back, and departed alone without saying another word to the generals.
He had not charged forward with his subordinates just now because he needed to oversee the entire situation and control the battlefield.

Still, she found it somewhat strange that Wanqi Longxi had not exploded over her mocking words just now.
The higher a person’s level, the more clearly he understood how formidable Old Master Tang was. His awe of Old Master Tang grew accordingly.
Zhang Tian followed the formation master around the entire camp. Every outer defensive line was covered by formations, and a vast quantity of magic stones had been buried beneath the ground. Zhang Tian saw that most of them were low-grade stones, though medium-grade and even high-grade stones had occasionally been used. This was not an expense an ordinary team could possibly afford.
Chen Qiao was extremely depressed by the whole affair. Few people in this world dared to cause trouble for the Imperial Alliance, and anyone bold enough to make trouble in Iron King City under the Imperial Alliance’s control had to possess the courage of a bear and the gall of a leopard.
Bo Kong surveyed the entire land and suddenly discovered that only the tent beneath him remained intact. Everything else had vanished beneath the mud. He could not help feeling astonished, yet he became even less willing to approach his own tent.
Not far behind him, a pair of enormous golden thunder wings stirred the air, bursting into clusters of tumbling golden lightning arcs. Their rumbling thunder was deafening, and a figure was half-hidden within them.
Jiang Feng laughed. “I don’t care what your purpose is. In any case, choose one—Le Mans Mountain or Lisbon.”
Faced with Hu Meilin’s question, Liu Jun asked in confusion, “Why do you think I’m the leader of the First Pioneer Group?”
“You’ve got to be kidding. Beneath it are major blood vessels, and above it is a dense network of nerves. How could anyone possibly cut out the tumor in the middle?”
“Teacher! I can secure first blood in one minute. Do you believe me?” Zhou Jiadong said confidently.
Lang Yu recalled the time he had fallen into the underground cavern at the Supreme Mystery Sect. If that place was anything like this, then unless the entire great hall was blasted flat, it would be extremely difficult to find. And every day they failed to find it, the demon race would remain in danger of being threatened. In his previous life, Lang Yu had used such methods more than once and knew all too well how despicable they were.
