Chapter 62: An Accident (Part Twenty-Two)
Xinyi struggled to get up, but her leg had been trampled on so painfully that it was almost devoid of sensation. Only cold sweat clung damply to her skin, feeling scorching hot under the blazing sun.
Right, there was no peace of mind; a heavy stone in her heart still refused to settle. Xinyi did not know what was wrong with her, but she felt flustered and uneasy, as if... everything tonight was somehow interconnected.
The reason she was willing to risk Gu Chao’s suspicion today just to rescue her companions was precisely because she feared that if Gu Chao were driven to a desperate end, he would take these police officers hostage and use the opportunity to escape alive.
Within the nether cavern, Nina, Dongfang Aotian, and the Dragon King Cambria were striving to break through their cultivation bottlenecks. Isolated from the outside world as if in another realm, Dongfang Aotian was still unaware that the Cangfu Continent was already surging with undercurrents and on the verge of a massive transformation.
"That would be for the best!" Zhao Che actually doted on Zhao Zhi quite a bit, which was hardly surprising. Zhao Che had few descendants; although he had a princess and Zhao Zhi under his knees, Zhao Zhi possessed a particularly frail constitution.
Everyone knows that my old pig's ears are exceptionally large, capable of fanning wind and igniting fires, so hiding a bit of private money should be no problem at all.
Moon Goddess rolled backward and retreated, while Li Feng, who had been swept away, charged in again. With a 'whoosh', utilizing Phantom Charge, Li Feng instantly flashed to Siegfried's right side and directly slashed at him with Iai Slash.
Zhongli Yu, since you have repeatedly risked life and limb for me, why can't I sacrifice my dignity to win a smile from you?
Yet alas, just like the worst-case scenario anticipated, the person before her stepped forward and ultimately caught her.
Realizing that the person within the formation had been alerted, and judging by their unfamiliar voice and the fact that they did not recognize his escaping light, this should be the very person mentioned in Ren Qian's message—one of the five Dao Dan realm cultivators who had joined the City G faction.
He was well aware of the grave consequences of beating Xie Yanyuan's grandson to death, yet when a loyal subordinate who had once used his own body to shield him from enemy blades met such a fate, Feng Gechi simply could not endure it. Perhaps this was an important reason why he was able to win the devoted allegiance of his subordinates.
A red short skirt, a sleeveless top, with the binding cloth wrapped underneath faintly visible through the sides, and smooth arms wearing detached white long sleeves.
Hua Wenjing said excitedly, "Did I hear that wrong? Yihua, you promised to keep me as your kept woman? Big sister is so happy." Regardless of whether Liu Yihua's words were true or false, he had uttered something that made Hua Wenjing feel blissful and thrilled.
However, neither Marisa nor Reimu Hakurei knew this kind of auxiliary magic and spellcraft.
"Brother Huang exaggerates." Zhang Tianqiong smiled bitterly and shook his head, yet he genuinely accepted their deep bow. To them, those pills were nothing short of a gift of rebirth; otherwise, entering the duel arena with injuries would have meant certain death.
This was the first time Ren Qian had ever flown above the ground—excluding airplanes, of course.
The golden giant felt extreme hatred in his heart and slammed his right foot fiercely onto the ground. Instantly, myriad rays of golden light radiated from his body, and both the golden-armored giants condensed from divine talismans and the incoming golden light arrows were shattered by a vast, overwhelming force.
When he returned to the temporary courtyard, Huang Meng and the others had already left, and even Liu Dong and his apprentice had wandered off God knows where. Zhang Tianqiong was quite content with the peace and quiet. After informing Hanling that he needed a period of secluded cultivation, Hanling obediently replied that her daily cultivation lessons were not yet finished, and then bid him farewell and left.
"Good," Young Rong thought to himself, Gu Xiangyi, how did you abuse her? Why do I feel like she is even more eager than me to figure out how to bully you?
Gradually, Country Q also established its leading position among these island nations. They formed an economic alliance, which was slowly merging and developing into a political and military alliance.
True Person Jineng found it difficult to fight off multiple attackers alone, and with no one else around to step forward and help, he suddenly found himself trapped in one perilous situation after another. In just a short moment, the long, white mustache on his lips was completely shaved clean by the Blood Phoenix Angel's spear.
Although they had witnessed Xiao Feng's formidable power quite a few times during these past few days in Veracruz, they never imagined he could be this powerful! Besides, what did those fellows just call him? Boss?
Meanwhile, Ye Feng also motioned to Jiang Yi and Fireman to outflank Ganor from behind, completely cutting off all his escape routes.
"That kind of thing won't happen," Li Qing said indifferently. Naturally, he understood what Lan Ruoli was referring to. He feared that once he integrated the divine soul within his body and awakened the memories of his past life, his personality would undergo a drastic change, which was why he said this to them while he was still fully conscious.
Back in the Fire Silence Formation, Tang Chang had once teamed up with Qingzhan and Sijiu to form an invincible trident combination! Right now, Fairy Peony, Sijiu, and Qingzhan had formed a similar combination, but the effect was vastly reduced. After all, Fairy Peony positioned in the center was too weak, and Sijiu and Qingzhan constantly had to bail her out.
A half-man-high cave, overgrown with weeds all around, and upon closer inspection, traces of aged bloodstains could even be found. The hazy entrance seemed capable of devouring any living soul.
"Is... is that so?" Recovering her senses, she cast an apologetic look toward me, and then anxiously looked at the pet bird that had already turned into flying ashes.
Cold and obstinate, her urge to leave paused—not because of Ziyan's sarcastic mockery, but because the sound of death echoed from deep underground, muffled like the report of a gun.
"You!" The burly man's face instantly flushed red with anger, yet he had no effective retort. At that exact moment, two Qilin beasts carrying two cultivators appeared behind the burly man. Clearly, these two cultivators were the leading figures among this force of one hundred thousand Tifutu.
