Chapter 31: Caught in the Act
Drawing more than ten thousand troops from the 114th and 32nd Divisions, and with the assistance of a large number of puppet troops, they prepared to covertly concentrate their forces to launch a surprise attack, followed by continuous sieges, in an attempt to annihilate the Eighth Route Army in Shandong with overwhelming force.
After all she had been through, returning to the Cherishing Flowers Shrine truly gave her a sense of "coming home." The apricot trees planted here, the falling apricot blossoms, and the faint fragrance flowing in the air made every pore of her body feel at ease.
She kicked the tombstone under her feet into pieces in a fit of rage, and as she stomped, she kept up a relentless stream of verbal abuse.
Dong Zhuo murdered the young emperor, slept on the dragon bed, and took the palace concubines for himself, completely shattering the majesty of the Han Dynasty. Although he successfully lost the hearts of the people and soon met his end, this brought no benefit to the continuation of the Great Han.
The personnel patrolling around the research institute were all security guards dressed in black uniforms, wearing steel helmets, and armed with loaded weapons. Numerous guard posts were set up around the factory area, making the security so tight that not even a drop of water could leak through.
Kuang Shixun briefly explained the situation, omitting only the matter concerning Fang Zhong and Kuang Xue; after all, that was his private business, and there was no need to tell Lei Long.
"Mother, Yi'er likes it, I like it!" Yi'er felt uncomfortable that his attempt to actively lick Su Meijiu went unanswered, so he simply lay across her embrace and rolled around.
The wedding procession could proceed no further upon reaching this point. The Demon King Chihe had long ago dispatched several of his top generals to receive them. Chunxi, who was officially the princess-consort, was the most important person in the group and was kept under separate supervision—or rather, separately cared for.
Wait, that’s not right... Spirit Raiment! He instantly realized that what the other party was wearing was a spirit garment that couldn't be bought for a thousand gold in the Thousand-Face Market.
"Impossible, Shaofei was clearly chasing the demons on the winding mountain road." Dukao looked at Qingming on the water curtain barrier, noting that Qingming had only just finished off five demons.
"Very good." Qingwu nodded with satisfaction, but her vision went black and she fell backward; she was simply too tired.
He knew this was rhyming, and it sounded pleasant and melodic to the ear. Although he did not understand the meaning, he still clapped and echoed, "A fine poem, a fine poem!" The man behind him was also a down-and-out fellow, and the moment Ah Shui saw his face, he felt a deep sense of kindred spirit.
The cold, biting words scattered with the wind as soon as they were spoken, vanishing into the azure sky without even an echo, leaving no trace behind.
The corpse demon swallowed the white-robed cultivator in a few gulps, and then, with a flash of black light from its two massive palms, two black blades several meters long appeared out of thin air.
"Dapeng, Peacock, this ancient Buddha advises you to surrender, so that you may die more comfortably." Burning Lamp no longer feigned compassion or hypocrisy, revealing a sinister face.
But Xerneas was also the origin of Mega Evolution stones, and Tingshu could not judge from such limited information whose control over life energy was stronger or weaker.
Manager Zhang deliberately dug a pit for Su Yunliang to jump into, and used this to erase his own mistakes.
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile. Only by being sufficiently powerful can one possess the capital to act without restraint.
"That old beggar woman never forgets to show off her 'Hundred-Skill Immortal Sending Shuttle' wherever she goes!" Just as the giant golden shuttle submerged into the five-colored vortex, an old man in a black robe with a pale complexion, standing not far from Zheng Zhong, sneered.
When she had just arrived at the auction, Lu Xingzhu noticed that Shen Xiaobai’s hair was a bit messy, clearly indicating that he had rushed over in a hurry.
The Military Defense University had no students on the list, which was quite embarrassing this time, but fortunately, three of their instructors made the list. It was a decent number, considering these three instructors were only 25 years old; it could be said that they barely maintained the dignity of a prestigious school.
The young man, Zhang Hei, decided to swim across, but the flood was raging. Everyone held him back, comforting him by saying that perhaps the flood would not submerge the roof and might recede soon, urging him not to be impatient.
"But! This is an army of ten thousand werewolves. If you, with your late-fourth-rank strength, are surrounded and attacked by them, you absolutely won't be able to withstand it. Even if your cultivation were at the early War God realm, it wouldn't be enough. The combined power of ten thousand wolves is truly terrifying," Yun Cai'er warned.
As he spoke, Linghu Chong stretched out his arm, pulled Ren Yingying into his arms, and his hands began to wander over her body. Ren Yingying’s cheeks immediately flushed with a rosy glow, and she struggled to break free from Linghu Chong, her giggles echoing from the guest room.
"Is that so? I thought that since my second younger sister married into the Wu family, she had been fighting with them only a few days later." Su Ying said with a smile, offering an apology.
Lin Pingzhi thought to himself that he would eventually have to provide an explanation to the old master for all of this; otherwise, as the head of the Fuwei Security Bureau, he would lose face for knowing so little. It was hard on him to have held back his questions for so long.
At the same time, the space-time cultivator Leng Gan also took action. Space-time energy swirled as he confronted the light swords, attempting to shift them into another dimension.
The Spirit Fruit, being a fruit containing spiritual energy, had a much milder essence. It was somewhat similar to the spiritual energy of life essence, and was more effective at refining the internal organs.
A smile appeared on the man's bloody lips, a sight that made one feel terrified.
Their hearts sank instantly. They were only two Martial Saints, while the opponent had three. As for Duo Er’s level of skill, he was not even worth factoring into their calculations.
Li Xintian looked up at Wang Xiu, and seeing his conflicted expression, her heart sank as well. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like Wang Xiu was unwilling.
The sword blossoms struck Liu Kui’s body with a crisp clatter, but Liu Kui’s figure only shook slightly, and his fist, its momentum undiminished, smashed toward Mu Yanran.
