Volume 1, Chapter 24: A Brand New Look for Battalion Ding

Lu Yunduan felt his heart bleeding. Every cent he had earned over these many days had been spent, and he prayed that his first investment would not end in a total loss.

"General Chang, before I arrived, I ordered three thousand sets of armor and three thousand halberds to be forged. Have them all brought out now."

Chang Zhongyou was bewildered. How could he not have known there were so many weapons in the camp, and when had they even been transported in? Though half-doubting, he dared not defy Lu Yunduan’s command and immediately led his soldiers toward the tents. In less than a quarter of an hour, Chang Zhongyou returned with a group of soldiers, all of them carrying armor and halberds.

"My Lord, this armor..."

Lu Moli remained silent on the other end, not knowing what to say. After all, no matter how he looked at it, he had no standing to criticize Lu Yuanjie.

Feiyue also noted that they had discovered three prosperous-level planets in the Yutian Star system, including Yutian Star itself, along with one planet categorized as a holy-level world.

As the bodies of the Lickers and Tyrants exploded one by one, it significantly limited the amount of blood the vortex could absorb.

Based on her understanding of Gu Ruoyun, she wasn't the type to be so idle as to study such medicinal pills.

Touching his own body, he realized he was drenched in a cold sweat. His lips trembled, unable to form a word, while his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

Brother Yellow-Tooth grumbled as he stripped off his coat. Unfortunately, before he could even pull it down to his waist, a sharp, transparent, sword-like apparition suddenly manifested in the void before him. Without a moment’s hesitation, it struck, piercing straight through his throat.

A sound like shattering metal followed, and a faint bloodstain appeared on Master Luo’s arm.

The intent of the Demon Seeds to kill Heinrich was far too obvious. One could only wonder how many powerful Demon Seeds were lying in ambush within the City Lord’s mansion.

Seeing the equally grim expression on the Left Envoy’s face, a flash of cold light crossed her eyes, though it vanished as quickly as it appeared.

The power released by the God of Darkness earlier could only absorb life force; it could not absorb the radiation from a nuclear bomb.

If it were just a normal meal, it might have been fine, but as they ate their work rations, the fragrance made their own food seem utterly bland by comparison, killing their appetites instantly.

Ever since Fan Che’an had shown up at her door time and again, she made a point of waiting until Qingyan and the others had left before bolting the door.

Shangguan Ce was severely injured in an instant. After breaking free from the Nine-Yang Ruler and the Violet Blade, he desperately unleashed the Nine-Condensation Cold-Light Needles, sending a sky full of icy light raining down upon the two of them.

She slaughtered her way through the mission world; what use was it to wear a face identical to Pei Si’s? She had still killed the Child of Destiny, hadn’t she?

Especially in the days leading up to Akame’s childbirth, Bai Yu was attentive to the extreme, personally tending to her every need, from food and clothing to her mobility.

Lu Wei seemed to sense Qin Ze’s anxiety and said nothing more, focusing entirely on driving.

"Qin and Han are one family; we must set a good example for those who come after us!" they said in unison. It was comical to see such playful behavior from two thousand-year-old emperors.

Zhang Nianzu rubbed his temples as he entered the storage room. Assassin was eating her fill, though she was frowning and hissing—her wounds were beginning to ache.

Hong Qi was in no rush. At worst, he could have Wu Yan step in to declare war on Yunwei Villa directly. Even if Zhao Shanhe escaped tonight, he wouldn’t live much longer.

In the face of such sensational rumors, the only people who truly believed them, besides the insiders of the Wood-Gathering Gang Alliance, were people like Fox Wei.

"Mr. Chu Mo, I am quite a few years your senior—may I simply call you Chu Mo?" Huang Cheng asked.

"Where is the Soul-Absorbing Staff now?" Elder Hong looked him up and down, noting his empty hands, and posed the question.

He thought to himself: I will help her this one last time, to repay the debt of birth. From this day forward, I want nothing more to do with them.

Song Zimo turned back upon hearing this. Crossing the street, he scanned the shop signs opposite him. Before long, he spotted a brand-new sign bearing the characters for "Pearl Milk Tea."

After a series of rhythmic thuds against the city gates, the siege soldiers of the Jinfeng Kingdom officially launched their assault on the front gates of the Dadia Kingdom.

Watching the figure who always showered her with such boundless affection under the glow of the courtyard streetlights, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

Looking at her soft profile as she sipped her water, even without words, just watching her quietly felt like a sweetness worth savoring.

"The Heavenly Coffin!" When the Ghost Eagle Demon King’s subordinates saw the coffin, their pupils constricted, and a flash of greed appeared in their eyes.

It turned out that hidden deep within the campus, beyond the Chinese-style cafeteria they had visited yesterday, was this Western-style restaurant and entertainment venue.

"I have already captured Nan Kongqian for you. Now, can you remove the Demon Seed from my body?" The Psychic Fox didn't waste time, looking him straight in the eye. Su Ci merely smiled, saying nothing, just as Su Jie and Xue Ye approached.

Lu Xun spoke softly to Old Seven He: "Deserters must be punished. Execute all three hundred of those soldiers as a warning. As for the rest, regroup them according to their home provinces."

The elder was in the midst of indignantly airing his grievances against Lei Ding, never imagining he would receive a death warrant from the Grim Reaper. He didn't even have time to scream before collapsing, dead on the spot.

Their hard-sleeper carriage was right next to the hard-seat section; they had to pass through several hard-seat carriages to reach the dining car.

"Teacher... Teacher Zhou!" Han Jun turned around to see none other than their homeroom teacher, Zhou Zhengliang. Han Jun and Bai Yue exchanged a nervous glance. Why was he looking for them now?

Some were even performing bodybuilding poses from the future to show off their muscles to the hostesses. Ma Su muttered while drinking: "Beasts," "Brutes," "Butchers," "Thugs." But in Guan Xing’s eyes, Ma Su was clearly just jealous of their physiques and feeling inferior about his own frail frame.
