Volume 1, Chapter 43: Don't be afraid, I am here

Strip me of my military uniform?

His voice was soft, yet it carried a bone-chilling coldness.

Vice Minister Li, you are mistaken about one thing.

Huo Chenyuan walked step by step toward Vice Minister Li, his military boots making crisp echoes on the floor.

My uniform is not something anyone can strip away. Not even you.

He came to a halt right in front of Vice Minister Li.

Ximen Kuang pulled her onto his lap in one swift motion, her plump, peach-shaped buttocks pressing firmly against his thighs.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Yu, who had just been arrogantly threatening Qin Fan and Su Yanran, suddenly lost his nerve, lowering his head and humbly apologizing to Su Yanran.

Were it not for matters of status, he sometimes really wanted to go to the battlefield and witness it for himself, though such thoughts could only ever exist in his fantasies.

Old Er Ma stared with wide, furious eyes, rushed forward, and landed a vicious slap across his face, sending blood and spittle flying. Then, with a swift kick to the joint of his knee, he forced him down to his knees.

Boss Li, how was the grievance between you and me supposed to be resolved again? Qin Fan released Wu Zeming, walked up to the pale-faced Li Hongfei, and asked with a half-smile.

Just bear with it for now! Who told you to be my personal bodyguard? Once Uncle Li's people arrive, you can just be the driver! Li Yongle curled his lips in disdain and walked toward the hotel lobby.

At that moment, a group of ruffian-like figures swarmed over. Upon seeing this, the young man prudently slipped away.

Since we've noticed anomalies, we should instruct the patrol officers to expand their perimeter and heighten security. Just as Luo Xiangyang finished speaking, the sound of continuous gunfire suddenly echoed from not far away.

The moment the box lid was opened, a peculiar fragrance wafted out, accompanied by a rising plume of grey smoke that drifted away.

He had told the old commander back then that this wasn't a matter of money. Even if you were to offer me mountains of gold and silver, or promise me high positions and great wealth, it probably wouldn't be easy to find. How about this? Give me three months. If I still cannot find it, I'm afraid I will be powerless to help.

The self-detonation of the Yapool armor directly obliterated an area with a radius of two kilometers. This jamming device was located right inside that zone and squarely within the epicenter of the blast; the optical camouflage system along with the temporary energy shield were instantly ripped apart, rendering the entire equipment completely useless in a split second.

Zhang Zhiping did not know if there was an issue with Tang Tianzheng's initial miraculous encounters back then, or if he had coincidentally come into contact with the Demonic cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect later on. Nevertheless, believing it is better to be safe than sorry, he immediately attempted to divine the situation using heavenly calculation techniques, only to find the result completely blank—and this was precisely the hallmark of Demonic cultivators.

Meanwhile, on the other end, after the callers demanding surrender shouted multiple times without seeing a single white flag raised on the city walls, and instead witnessing the defenders tightening their defenses for a desperate last stand, Cai Xu understood that he would have to conquer this city with his own sword.

Therefore, waiting here could hardly be considered an ambush against the Wuhuan; rather, Huang Ju and the others were simply biding their time for an opportunity to launch a night raid.

However, the download count for Tetris had already reached sixteen, whereas it had only been nine when checked that morning.

The moment Gongsun Duan's laughter ceased, he uttered each word deliberately: Draw your blade! Just four words, spoken so softly that it sounded barely like a breath.

Yet the very next moment, before the Wuhuan cavalrymen—who had just received the urging orders—could take any practical action, a series of urgent barks suddenly rang out from the distant darkness.

In an instant, the giant mirror exploded, and countless fragments burst outward in all directions like sharp arrows. A fierce, peerless aura of sharpness soared into the heavens, cleaving the sky and earth as if slicing the very firmament. It actually pierced right through the barrier's isolation, directly cutting apart the gathering wind and clouds hovering above the Sevenfold Peaks.

Later on, after Tang Ningjing ate a few meals cooked by Ningning, her conscience seemed as though it had been eaten by dogs, turning her utterly brazen and thick-skinned. She constantly pestered her dear Ningning to cook for her, completely hooked on the food. Yet, this only served to prove just how exquisite Ningning's culinary skills truly were.
