Chapter 43

Lured by profit and intimidated by force, coupled with his personal involvement, what was there to worry about in a matter like this?

The Spear of Starry Universe brushed past the hunter's ribs, cleanly shaving off a strip of flesh. The cut was so smooth that even the blood took a few seconds to begin flowing.

After that single sound, it was not over yet. Following closely, a continuous succession of wolf howls erupted, one after another, overlapping and cascading from a distance toward them, until the closest one seemed to be right around them.

The pure spiritual energy within the Spirit-Gathering Array rushed toward Xing Chu at a ferocious speed, forming swirling vortexes around him that he inhaled like a giant whale swallowing water.

"I told you to tell me what on earth happened to Zhuge Yuxiao." Seeing the other person staring at him in a daze, Lun's tone inevitably grew even colder.

"A mechanism? No, I don't know. There are people specifically assigned to guard the door. Whenever we come back, we have to wait until the doors open in the morning to go in." Wo Xiong did not understand what a mechanism was and honestly spoke of what he knew.

Shen Yun's focus at this moment was no longer solely on those crystals. Every distance she covered, she would skillfully set up several reconnaissance arrays.

However, if such a miserable scream were heard elsewhere, it would surely bring tears to the listener's eyes because it was far too wretched and unbearable to witness. Yet this was the Ministry of Punishments, where such cries were already a common sight, and even more gruesome ones existed. Therefore, the palace attendants of the Ministry remained expressionless, going about their business as usual.

A flash of brutality crossed the demonic man's eyes. With a sudden flick of his hand, a halberd gleaming with a dark, somber light appeared in his grip, and he slashed fiercely down toward Xing Chu.

Night Cloud, however, seized the precise moment to strike, firing a beam of white particle cannon energy straight toward the spot where the poisonous bee was about to land.

Upon hearing the mission described by Su Xing, Gu Minghui remained speechless for a long time. Having previously heard Su Xing mention that it involved mortal danger, he had nervously awaited Su Xing's reply, only to find out that it was merely a porter's job?

After the vine was severed, a small amount of black liquid actually flowed out from inside. Once the tree roots were gouged and injured, they too contained a grayish-black liquid that emitted a faint, foul odor... resembling the stench of a corpse.

Su Xing ignored the other person's sarcastic remark. He waved his hand, signaling Yu Qiuyi to step aside first so she would not overhear their upcoming conversation.

The crisp and pleasant voice made Wang Feng's eyes light up once again. Although it carried a somewhat exotic accent, considering she was a foreigner, managing to reach this level was already quite impressive.

Yang Kuang used the formal respectful form of address, intending to summon the Celestial Master and leverage Lu Ping's abilities to contribute strength to the currently precarious and storm-tossed Great Shang dynasty. Besides, he had long been curious about Lu Ping's talents.

At this moment, his divine soul had surged tremendously, improving by more than threefold. Now that he had also obtained the dragon bone of a Tier 9 magical beast, it appeared that Luo Chen had indeed gained a blessing in disguise.

Yet Chen Xuan did not give up, because he could see how much Liu Shiyan loved this guqin. He grabbed Liu Shiyan's slender hand, took hold of it, and led her to turn back into the musical instrument shop.

"Very well, I will have someone send it to you as soon as I return. However, have you ever done this kind of work before? Experience is naturally for the best, but if you lack it, I can also send someone to advise you so as to avoid any mishaps," Yang Kuang said considerately.

He prepared to pierce Su Xing's heart in an instant, sever his head, and regain his freedom as a zombie.

Guan Yu naturally reported everything in detail, as no one would conceal anything in matters like this.

Under the influence of his excitement, Suzong Li Heng even cast a cold, sideways glance at Li Feng in the distance. Once Luoyang was retaken, and after the armies from Jiangling, Jianghuai, Henan Circuit, and Jiangnan converged, he would crush Li Feng to death and completely eradicate this future trouble.

Absolute personal strength brought absolute confidence. The Immortal Race was not afraid of frontal assaults; what they feared was the descent of Heavenly Demons to bewitch and delude the mortal world. Once sinful desires ran rampant, it would cause an imbalance in the Heavenly Dao.

Jockeying for personal connections, strength, and foundation, Ling Yue and the Four Peak Masters held no advantages over him whatsoever.

Wang Yupeng still wore a sneer on his face, but upon hearing these words from Xiao Dongchen, he was instantly stunned, and his expression immediately turned unpredictable—quite a colorful spectacle indeed.

Therefore, Zheng Xudong simply climbed up the tallest pine tree on that hillside, picked a horizontal branch about as thick as a waist, sat quietly upon it, and waited for the "guests from afar."

Master Victor nodded to him, then cast a deeply meaningful look at Adam, said nothing more, and left the laboratory directly.

Everyone understood every word she said, but none of them could comprehend what those words were actually trying to express when strung together.

By using a method similar to the world-breathing of His Holiness Prometheus, to strip away and transform the negative portion of the energy?

As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar immediately broke out in the venue, plummeting everyone's impression of Meng Lang to the absolute rock bottom. How could someone from the dignified Tianhe Valley actually utter such words in public?

Anduin nodded. How could that towering blaze ever fade from his memory? The sound of catapults gradually subsided, and debris no longer flew about. He silently put on his helmet, just as he had done countless times before. There was neither surging excitement nor dejection; this was simply one of the most necessary preparations before battle.

In this era where machinists trampled over everything, there still existed a system that could barely rival them, which was already a rather remarkable level of achievement.

Ye Tian placed the clothing bearing Gao Hongjun's body odor next to the military hound for it to sniff. This hound often executed jungle-tracking missions, but Ye Tian's aura was too oppressive. Coupled with a couple of sharp slaps across the face from Ye Tian, the fiercely loyal military dog immediately pissed on the ground and defected, becoming Ye Tian's new pet.

"Big boss, I think I've spotted the person you're looking for." Three days later, in the afternoon, Fan Zheng was drinking tea in the villa's tea room with the vice president of the Mainland Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce when he suddenly received this phone call.

During this period, professors and tutors also took turns on duty, but they functioned much more as researchers than as teachers. Their daily routine consisted solely of dragging students into research groups, and formal lecturing was entirely nonexistent.

"Indeed, this is a self-seal. When your vitality recovers in the future, your soul will probably be torn apart and devoured in that very instant," the Dragon King said with deliberate nonchalance.

"Elena, have you been well lately?" Ye Tian's skin was thicker than a city wall as he walked over, intending to greet Elena with the Western custom of a cheek-kiss. Yet, at a distance of less than a meter, he was blocked by an invisible wall.
