Volume 1, Chapter 24: Killing

"I am the eldest daughter of the Liu family, how dare you!" Liu Wanyun's heart pounded as she glared and screamed in fury.

"And what if you are the eldest daughter? Do you think you're the first one I've toyed with?" Li Zhenzhe impatiently unbuckled his belt. "What is the Liu family compared to my backers?!"

"If you want to blame anyone, blame yourselves. You shouldn't have offended people you can't afford to cross. Even if I ruin you tonight, there will be others to clean up the mess for me!"

Hearing Li Zhenzhe's words, Liu Wanyun was struck with utter shock. "Is your backer the Qiankun Group?" Although her body was limp and weak, her mind remained sharp.

"Heh!" Li Zhenzhe gave a sinister laugh. "Don't think you can fish for information from me!" As he spoke, Li Zhenzhe, in front of Liu Wanyun...

"To be honest, the fact that the Crown Princess was able to run into the Imperial Noble Consort while riding in her palanquin today was exactly what I arranged," the Empress said with a sweet, charming smile.

When Qi Rui led everyone out of the villa, they saw Shen Hui waiting with hundreds of Hongmen gang members to receive them, many of them holding gongs and drums.

Counting like that, Su Nian'an eventually fell asleep without realizing it. Even in her sleep, she muttered unconsciously, mostly asking why Han Mocheng had not returned home for the night.

The two of them had been defeated by Murong Fu even at their peak; with only enough strength left for one final blow, they stood no chance of winning. Seeing that Murong Fu had no intention of killing them, they decided to conserve their remaining strength for future plans and ceased their resistance.

That star was twinkling right at the tip of the giant beast's nose. The beast opened its mouth and roared, assuming a leaping posture as if to spring out of the sea of sand and swallow that speck of starlight.

Once everyone had stopped, Jin Shan ordered everyone except Qi Rui to be blindfolded. He whispered a few words to a soldier and then led Qi Rui away from the group.

Among the northern territories, although there are not many factions that have reached the eighth rank, there are quite a few seventh-rank ones. However, in the Beiding Territory, there are no seventh-rank factions established at all.

However, with Chen Han's keen mind, he could naturally discern some clues. In the memory of the lotus seed of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, he had seen that mysterious gardener. That fourth black lotus, which he had never heard of before, was on this Jiu Yan. What exactly was his relationship with that gardener?

Zhou Yunba was dressed in a golden dragon robe. Despite being over two hundred years old, he looked like a man in his sixties or seventies, but his complexion was very poor and his spirit seemed listless.

At this time, Qi Rui had divided the troops into three groups. Ge Zhengxiang led one thousand men directly toward the southeast of Erlong Lake, their mission being to lure away the pursuing enemy.

An Wen had not expected this usually taciturn guy to be so delicate in his thoughts, even recording all of her habits while she slept.

Her ability was everything to her. She would channel her power to her father. Even in the next life, the life after that, and the one after that—whether they climbed to the heavens or descended into the abyss, whether they faced mountains of blades or seas of fire—from now on, no one would ever be able to separate her from her father again!

With the infusion of every word, the Nether God Tree continued to grow, and the aura it emitted grew stronger and stronger.

The clerk looked at the gleaming silver coins, his slender pupils narrowing. He knew that while the official currency of the Xia Kingdom was copper coins, rare metals were also quite valuable. These few silver coins were worth roughly equivalent to his monthly wages.

But Momo was also worried. If she left behind too many supplies, given her father's personality, there was no telling if he would just give them all away—a situation she least wanted to see.

"This human, Yang Tian, has a talent even more terrifying than our demon race's Yin Que or Giant Claw. At this stage, they can only contend with Black Hole-level mid-stage powerhouses," Xuan Ye Wang thought, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The earthquake caused by the meteorite had destroyed many houses, and the kiln roofs of the brick factories had all collapsed. Everything would have to be rebuilt, which was another extremely troublesome task.

The reason An Wen was so bold was that he knew Chu Chu was not at home; she had gone to Europe for a trip before the start of her freshman year and had not yet returned.

"This test is to verify the physical model feedback of the virtual space. Therefore, the surrounding buildings and vehicles are all expendable."

Countless secret manuals appeared, but they all required a massive amount of points. Yang Tian looked at the mere two hundred points in his account and shook his head slightly.

Until the convoy vanished from sight, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint ran back in twos and threes, looking toward the west with lingering fear.

Lu Miaozhi nodded in understanding. Li Yunfei let out a loud shout, "Attack!" With that, he charged toward the four monks. The sword in his hand flashed like lightning, enveloping two of the four monks.

Xu Ziling leaped high into the air, dodging the long spear that Cao Yinglong swung horizontally. He slashed down with his sword as if it were a heavy broadsword. Cao Yinglong did not defend; instead, he changed the movement of his spear, thrusting it upward. When Xu Ziling's sword struck Cao Yinglong, the spear was bound to strike him as well.

Xie Yuchen's insults did not ignite my anger. Like a lion, one does not get discouraged just because a lamb slips from its jaws; on the contrary, it conserves its energy to hunt successfully the next time.

This Xijiang Tunnel project utilized forced labor from two states, with work starting from both the north and south ends simultaneously. As a result, the project progressed rapidly, and within two days, the tracks were laid.

Rumble—a bolt of lightning from a clear sky struck Liu Biao's head, instantly shattering his pride and self-importance into dust.

From Yan Wubian, he sensed a threat. This was a young talent whose strength was not below his own. Although he was arrogant, it did not mean he lacked cunning.

I did not look at the sycophantic Flying Dragon Immortal again and turned toward the entrance of the Fifth Heaven. Among those in the Fifth Heaven, I was most familiar with the Xu family, so the first thing I did was head there.

"Do you still not understand? The actual military power is not in the hands of the Marshal. His words only hold weight if those below him are willing to listen. Father, we must seize military power!" Shaodian Ji had even greater ambitions.

Amidst the sky-high flames, smoke billowed and shrapnel danced wildly. The Japanese soldiers who had not been torn to shreds chose to jump into the water, but the rolling river would not give them a chance to surface again; even if they jumped, death was the only outcome.
