Chapter 64 Hesitating and Undecided
Although the spiritual power required to advance into the intermediate realm of refining Qi and transforming spirit could be described as formidable, at this moment, Lv Xuan could not perceive the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power within his body.
"By the way, Meilian, won't your Taoist arts produce any side effects?" I asked with a hint of worry.
Because both the martial arts community and the Demon Palace were well aware of the immense impact a defeat in this battle would bring, neither side could accept the outcome of failure.
This cool response caused Zhabo to swallow back the words that had already reached his lips.
A sharp flash crossed Zhao Hua's eyes, clearly revealing a barely concealable anger at the mention of the name Ye Hen.
The appearance of the person before him was now completely revealed. He was a man in his forties with a dark complexion, a square face with a side-parted hairstyle, a slightly stout middle-aged build, and stood over six feet tall, much like Liu Xinghao. His arms were corded with taut, robust muscles, making him look like someone who practiced martial arts.
Qin Bei laughed heartily and began pouring tea for Xia Jian. With a beaming smile on his face, anyone unaware of his true background would have taken him for a thoroughly kind-hearted man.
"Jump a few times when you're told to. These are the rules, just to check if you're smuggling anything contraband." An elderly uncle slowly strolled out from behind the shelves, dressed in a prisoner's uniform and holding a plastic basket as he picked up the clothes Liu Xinghao had dropped on the floor.
Although there were Greater Xuanzun even stronger than the Xuanzun, one had to realize that the peak of the Xuanzun realm was likewise a height unattainable by ordinary people.
Sect Master Situ Xuanyin was also a free-and-easy person. When experts clash, victory or defeat hangs by a thread. Since the two tigers had fought and he was already slightly inferior, Situ Xuanyin did not press the issue further. Nodding slightly, he said, "Master Fuju truly possesses remarkable martial arts; this old man admits his skill is inferior." With that, Situ Xuanyin gracefully retreated.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun was blazing high. Bamboo-pole and the other two, along with the dark-faced Shen Chongwu, each held an ice pop inside the steamer-like security guard booth to beat the heat.
Zhang Yuxing was instantly motivated to no end, and his heart could not help but scream: Your uncle! You're dressed like a pangolin, of course you're not cold, and the posture you chose is sitting down—why don't we trade places?
There was no need for further comparisons, for before Xia Xin even finished his thought, he saw Xia Ye naturally sit down on his lap, snuggle into his embrace, and giggle at him.
These briars sprawled across the ground, looking utterly ordinary save for the abundance of sharp thorns covering their bodies.
Upon hearing that I had to foster her for a few days, I instantly refused. Setting aside Shen Ruoying's matter, I was planning to go on a date with Ding Hanyu tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow was also a very important day. Even if I were to take a day off, it certainly couldn't be on either of these two days.
Seeing the eagle decisively execute all five men, Ye Hen turned and walked out of the locker room without even sparing them a single glance.
"The one who deserves to be scolded is me, not you. Thank you. But no matter what happens in the future, you are never allowed to achieve your goals at the expense of your own body, understand? Don't you know how much that breaks my heart?" I sighed. The more she acted this way, the more guilty I felt, feeling as though she was constantly being wronged.
Ling Tian did not ask any further questions. Instead, he bid farewell to the snow fox, returned to Gong Bingrui's side, and sat together with her, sipping drinks. Gong Bingrui had not gone to dance, and since it was still early, the ball was far from over.
"Gulp!" Huo Tianlin was also dumbfounded, his throat continuously swallowing saliva. Had it not been for his embarrassment, he probably would have started refining his Kirin Arm right then and there.
At this moment, Chen Yu also walked over. Within the hole in the ground that had been sliced open by Chen Yu's flying sword, a colossal creature appeared beneath their feet—unmistakably a dragon, existing only in legends.
Or perhaps making the Zhang family tell lies pricked their conscience so much that even if it stemmed from selfish motives and wasn't too excessive, her conscience would still feel uneasy.
A flat culture vat gradually rose upward. It was more exquisite than the previous ones, and the liquid inside was not a yellowish-green, but a pale blue, emitting a mesmerizing glow.
According to the rules of prominent and wealthy households, it didn't matter when they were relaxing at home, but during large-scale family events, or when going out to attend major gatherings hosted by others, the sisters had to dress similarly—either in the same color scheme or the same style and pattern. In short, when standing together, it had to be obvious that they were daughters of the same family.
Zhang Xu raised a hand to block, cursed under his breath, and then yanked my arm, dragging me to the ground. Following that, another person came from my side and smashed a baseball bat straight into my back.
"Go back and tell your emperor that Meng Qianxun will not accept this imperial edict. Just say it came from this prince." Ye Wujue once again uttered words startling enough to shock the living.
As the millstone ground downward, dazzling golden light flooded the space, and several shrines materialized accompanied by incessant chanting, with shadowy figures flickering about.
Beneath the walls of Chang'an City, the interconnected camps of Dong Zhuo and Li Yang stretched for miles, housing over a hundred thousand troops. From time to time, the battle cries of soldiers drilling echoed from within the encampment.
Had it not been for the universe compass shielding the heavenly secrets, the three of them would have long been discovered and trapped in inescapable peril.
Wang Tianxu had spent the entire night pondering how to use the Vajra Prajna Bead to exorcise his inner demons. Originally, he had hoped to draw the attention of certain people through the spellcasting duel wager so that he could find an opening to intervene in the matter. However, no one came to look for him all night, which clearly showed that this method was not yet impactful enough to catch others' attention.
These garrison camp soldiers were all veterans under Li Yang. Upon seeing him, they exchanged no superfluous words, simply offering a military salute one after another before resuming their guard duty.
