Chapter 21

Li Ling set out for Jiankun with his troops. He was determined to ensure the survival and future well-being of the soldiers who had followed him for years—men who had trained, fought, bled, and suffered injuries alongside him, now forced to live in the lands of the Hu.

This left him, as the vanguard commander responsible for the frontal assault, feeling uneasy. The enemy’s main force had suddenly come to a halt; what did this signify? Could it be that they had sensed an ambush here?

A massive logo for an LOL tournament hung over the entrance of the internet cafe, as if a League of Legends event were currently underway.

He walked up to Lan Yue, looked at her blood-stained chest, reached out, and pressed his hand against her heart.

To John, traditional veterinary medicine was a sham, unworthy of comparison to Western veterinary practices. He was determined to defeat Lin Fei this time, be the first to cure the sick pigs on the farm, and identify the cause of the outbreak.

Xu Tian’s reasoning was that launching an all-out attack while enemy aircraft were hovering over the battlefield would be highly disadvantageous to their main force and likely result in heavy casualties. It would be safer to hide in their positions and wait until the enemy’s aerial bombardment concluded before attacking.

In an instant, an unprecedented sense of crisis exploded from the depths of Jiang Fan’s soul. Under the weight of this premonition, he didn't even have time to think. Gritting his teeth against the tearing pain, he raised his fist and smashed it into the giant python’s grotesque head.

Meanwhile, Lan Yue’s spiritual palm print had been reduced to just the palm, the five fingers having vanished entirely. Yet, it remained surging with energy and powerful aura, just a step away from Bi Zhenhong, who had no time to prepare a counterattack.

At dawn, Lan Ye arrived impatiently at Helan Station, where Xiao Yan and his group were staying. After inquiring about their quarters, she proceeded directly to their lodgings.

However, immediately afterward, Zhang Ling produced a roast chicken from somewhere with his other hand.

Because she hadn't slept well for the past few days and was exhausted from work today, Luo Qi felt weary. After a busy day, she needed to treat herself well.

Qing Cang had been able to fuse five profound meanings in just over a month, partly due to the seventh-grade medicinal pill, but most importantly, the Heavy Ring had absorbed the corpses of millions of experts, allowing their energy to flow into Qing Cang’s body and enabling him to fuse his profound meanings more rapidly and thoroughly.

"Stop it!" Chu Tianyou, splattered with cold water mixed with blood, shouted at her in anger and pressed down on her hands even harder.

As a core member and husband to Susan, Yale now had access to funds totaling six trillion US dollars.

"Don't—don't kill me!" Shentu, terrified, hid under the table and knelt, begging for mercy. Chu Yunxi drew the short sword at her waist, but just then, hundreds of assassins in black broke through the windows. They surrounded her and, without a word, attacked with their swords, each strike aimed at her vitals.

Seeing Yan Rusong’s figure disappear, Yan Shiqi hurried into the courtyard and immediately called for the servants to prepare for the day.

Bai Weiwei did not hold the local official Cai Guoliang in any regard; she hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.

Chu Yunxi immediately followed, "Hey, Yan Yuzhi, wait for me!" That reckless fellow had charged in without a second thought.

Luo Qi rolled her eyes at him from behind. He had given her an out, but she walked reluctantly, staring at Chu Tianyou’s back as she went.

Thinking of this, a smile tugged at the corners of Su Miao’s lips as she leaned down and pecked the forehead of the beauty in white.

Executing this technique allows one to multiply the absorption of external spiritual energy. At the same time, it accelerates the circulation of inner energy, allowing one's own spiritual energy to recover at several or even dozens of times the speed of an ordinary martial artist.

Wanwan: Actually, I really wanted to be low-key; after all, a hero shouldn't dwell on past glories. However, my man is a detective, so I really can't help it.

After circling around and feeling a wonderful sense of accomplishment, they got into the car and headed home.

So-called "Qi" is actually something invisible and intangible, much like Qigong, which is stored in the Dantian and, when released at the necessary moment, can achieve unexpected effects.

"Guidance is more important than attack." Guan Li clicked on the trending posts on the homepage and logged into his account.

Everyone felt sorry for Huantian. Anyone who defied orders or refused to go was executed on the spot. It would have been better to just go, but unfortunately, it was all too late.

Cheng Mo'an opened Meng Xizhou’s social media feed. On the night he had dinner with his older brother, he had posted two updates.

She was unsure of the situation regarding the invading enemy, but as a precaution, she had specifically prepared many obstacles, such as wooden chevaux-de-frise and caltrops, to prevent cavalry raids.

When they reached the Liu family residence, the people inside saw the formation outside and locked the gates tight, refusing to open them no matter what. The gates were thick, wrapped in iron plating and bronze studs, making them impossible for an ordinary person to kick open.

Liu Fugui nodded at Ping'an, letting the maids be. They were always thinking about the excitement here anyway, so he didn't mind.

Such a circuitous route would not only prolong the Far East Legion’s march but could also prove even more dangerous.

Hearing her say this, Xie Jingning instinctively recalled the clothes Zhou Yang wore. She didn't like designer brands or luxury bags; as long as it was comfortable, she would wear items that cost only a few dozen yuan. They had argued more than once over this in the past two years.

"Your Majesty, I serve in the laundry room and have come to deliver clothes for Young Master Zhuyue," Zhong Qing said, keeping her head lowered and gesturing to the "evidence" on the table. She felt uneasy, terrified that Jin Feng would see through her disguise.

Arriving once again at the magnificently constructed arena, the tens of thousands of seats were already filled, the crowd roaring and bustling with excitement.

"Boss, no wonder you said you had a wife—so you weren't lying to us..." Qin Feng looked at me with a strange expression.

Discovering that the basement door had a passcode lock, Shi Wan thought for a moment, then turned and walked back to the villa's living room.
