47 Forty-Seven Whales

He was fortunate to encounter the Dragon Vein and to meet Hong Tian, the one who commanded the Dragon Vein. It was he who changed everything for him.

“Lieutenant has no ill intentions. Could we perhaps sit down peacefully and have a proper conversation for a while?” Izanami was led to a corner by a ‘rabbit’ and was astonished to see the nearly invincible lieutenant he knew being subdued so easily. Immediately, he spoke up as a peacemaker.

Although the commander had fallen, the most senior and highest-ranking Chinese soldier spontaneously took over the command from his predecessor.

Though merely mortal, the fervent zeal to die for Qin Zheng emanating from him was enough to unsettle even the revered Three Star Pillars.

When he saw the opponent block the fierce attack with a single finger, he was so shocked that his ocular technique was automatically dispelled.

Su Cheng guessed that Su Yunshan recognized Yao Lijuan’s abilities, but was rather bothered by the fact that she was more than ten years older than Su Cheng.

Hong Tian intended to leave, and the Thunderstorm made no attempt to detain him, gladly agreeing and merely advising that if Hong Tian ever wished to return, he could use the teleportation array.

When they saw only a portion of the troops charging out from the headquarters faction, Lao Qian and A Yan both exhaled in relief. This proved that the conflict could continue without escalating into an all-out decisive battle. They still had time to delay and await reinforcements.

An assault vehicle blocked the path. The black-armored special forces soldiers inside were terrified beyond measure. All their psychological endurance training failed utterly. In the face of such a godlike killer, everyone was left weak-limbed and mentally scrambled.

“Master, the appointed time with the Rockefeller family patriarch has arrived...” The servant reminded nervously, knowing how much the patriarch disliked interruptions during his thoughts.

Even if he returned to the De family’s domain, with Zi Yu’s temperament, she would never allow him to seize the land unchallenged.

Yet, putting aside physical prowess, Qin Lun had another trump card—Joy’s murderous aura. Every form of life, including humans whose beastly nature had greatly diminished, instinctively sensed the latent hostility in other creatures.

It must be understood that these elites specialized not only in assassinations and covert killings, but also in reconnaissance, espionage, disguise, and the critical skill of uncovering enemy stratagems.

A fleeting dream, not dark or decayed, but glowing softly with a hazy, warm light, like a delicate blush upon the heart.

The Asura King crossed his arms and surprisingly made way, wearing a faint, enigmatic smile as he looked at the leaders of the four great powers.

The longsword pierced Ye Fan’s true energy shield, and with familiarity, tore through it, continuing its assault.

After discussion, Yun Fei immediately took action. Since she had been out of the Eternal Longevity Palace for some time, she would begin to feign from this moment onward.

After I spoke, a sudden gust of chilling wind swept up, carrying sand and stones hurtling toward us.

This form of magic was among the most basic, but despite its simplicity, it was highly practical.

“Gerhard, you go first. I’ll hold them off, otherwise with the speed of the sandstorm whirlwind, we won’t be able to shake off the helicopter!” Monica looked back worriedly, smiling as she gently pushed Qin Lun aside.

It was said that this deity once had an engagement with the Revered Mirror God, though for unknown reasons, their relationship had become openly antagonistic.

“Understood, boss,” Liu Yi’s confidence soared. After Lei Ha Ya’s reminder, he had a plan: to make a slingshot.

“No,” Jiang Li replied. In their two years of cohabitation, she rarely heard him speak. Seeing the hopeful eyes of the dream weavers around her, she could only pray that nothing would go wrong.

Gu Qian was a freshman this year; her tuition and living expenses were covered by Gu Fei. But when it came to transferring money, she suddenly remembered how poor she was and felt deeply saddened.

However, since the Le Rong family was within the radius, at this moment her parents were either killed by Ailien or had miraculously survived. Le Rong was deeply worried and wanted to return to check on them.

Yang Xu first recalled his destined Dao Lotus stationed at City C, then merged with it. His physical abilities instantly doubled. The Dao Lotus transmitted a wave of pleasure, clearly delighted. This was Yang Xu’s first time fusing with his destined beast.

“This is... the Haotian Hammer?” Upon seeing Tang San’s martial soul, everyone’s expressions changed. Titan was excited, but Yang Wudi and Niu Gao looked grim, their dislike for Tang San deepening.

By the time Le Jin arrived, all units were prepared. Subordinates and soldiers stood silently, awaiting his orders.

The neighboring clan, under the pretense of mourning, had utterly plundered the Wang family. They slaughtered all foundation-stage cultivators and forced the survivors into slave labor at the herb fields. Each season required a sufficient quota of mature spirit plants, and many perished. Thus, the Wang clan gradually dwindled.

Zang Ba’s scouts, upon discovering the tragic state of Cao’s camp, immediately reported back to Zang Ba.

“Your son heeds your command,” Liang Xi bowed her head with a playful smile, then raised it again, radiating a resolute and heroic spirit.

Hu Xixi’s life was marked by many losses. She grew accustomed to losing, which bred a sense of insecurity but also the courage to accept fate calmly. At least, even if parted in the future, she would not forget their love and embrace today.

Of course, there was also resentment toward the Kenrito Exiled Mage Group, stemming from tensions between the Barov family and Dalaran.

On the arena, Ye Han had barely recovered when he sensed a sharp rushing sound from the right airspace. Without turning, he instinctively raised his sword in defense.

“Ah Xi, you’ve exceeded my expectations,” Chen Tianyun’s eyes shone with admiration, openly praising.

Following the town’s main road further, one turns a corner into a mountain pass flanked by two adjacent peaks. Their formation perfectly cradled Gourd Valley below.
