Volume 1, Chapter 60: The Stranger

Liu Zheng, the garrison general of Jian'an City, stared with wide eyes, looking excitedly at the brilliant fireworks in the sky. When Cao Yongxian was half-man and half-corpse, he had already reached the level of a bronze-armored corpse. At this moment, he had advanced even further, possessing an incomparably tyrannical physical body, and the Yin corpse holding the giant axe was by no means inferior to him.

Seeing Princess Anqing, Empress Ma immediately wanted to go forward and recognize her, but she was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The crew members collapsed on the stage from exhaustion, looking at the director under the water tank in the distance and shaking their heads. They didn't want to, they didn't want to lose their jobs, but forced to choose between working themselves to death and letting the director face punishment, they chose to protect themselves.

That curved blade let out a sharp screech resembling a mournful cry, and then shattered with a crack, scattering across the ground.

Chi Miaomiao sat steadily in the front passenger seat, looking back through the rearview mirror. Pei Ye, radiating righteousness, sat right in the middle, flanked by a drunkard on either side.

Huo Xiuxiu's long speech didn't seem to have any inspiring power at all; instead, a dead silence fell below.

"Right, you humble bailiff, the yamen just sent over a few more free laborers a moment ago. I'll hand all of them over to you," the head bailiff said, waving his hand.

Liu Hao pulled the old man aside, though it was unclear what he said, before turning around and heading back to the Cao family residence.

Jiang Ying had always been decisive. Without lingering for even half a minute after speaking, she turned back, got into the car, and honked twice to signal the security guard to open the gate.

Lin Chengzhuang was speechless. What was this supposed to mean? She merely wanted this iceberg of a man to have a better attitude; why did he try to dismiss her with silver? Did he think she was someone obsessed with money and insatiably greedy?

Splattering fresh blood dyed Long Teng's gray clothes entirely red. At this moment, Long Teng had completely transformed into an Asura, an Asura completely immersed in slaughter.

In an instant, a dark vortex seemed to form within the gate, acting like a black hole with a terrifyingly monstrous suction force, pulling the heavenly thunder orb straight into the bronze immortal gate.

This is big! Xiao Kuang was thoroughly depressed. Yun Mengyu giggled as she ran down, took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs and sleeves, and waded into the river to catch fish. Perhaps having too much fun, she foolishly waved at the person standing on the arch bridge.

Seeing that the business of the Qingfeng Baozi Shop was currently thriving, she was overjoyed. After all, she was now half-owner of this Qingfeng Baozi Shop, and soon she would become a very wealthy woman.

"Mo'er, keep it up!" Jianquan, standing to the side, began to cheer for his wife. Carefully calculated, there were still about four or five days left during which they could not use martial arts.

I didn't move, looking with heartache at the clothes on my body—this was my last set. Damn that accursed broken dragon, I helped you and yet you just pat your bum and vanished. Scarface rushed out of the pool, wiped the water from his face, and said, "There's a very long tunnel down below. Using killing intent to compress the air will let us hold out a little longer." With that, he vaulted down, and I hurriedly followed.

Looking at the tide-like soldiers, Hu Fei, who stood atop the city wall wearing no armor, maintained an utterly calm expression with a brilliant light flashing in his eyes. After all, having attained the status of a Martial Saint and a Totem Master, not to mention a Marshal accompanying the Prince of Zhennan, what kind of scene had he not witnessed?

"That doesn't belong to Lin Ye either!" With that, Lin Chengzhuang dragged her elder sister rushing toward that direction.

As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention Yue Yi and Qin Yantong furrowing their brows, even Old Master Li wore a deeply furrowed expression.

The sword intent within the "Seven Stars Sword Array" was immensely powerful. Wherever the sword intent passed, it seemed as if it would cleave the void itself, causing the heaven and earth to shake, sword qi to tower into the clouds, and a violent tempest to sweep outward.

Hearing Wen Ruyu's voice from behind, a chill ran down Han Bobei's spine, and a trace of panic surfaced. However, before he could turn his head, Wen Ruyu's palm instantly shattered all the meridians in Han Bobei's body.

Miao Yongjun's father had once served as a prefect, and his family's livelihood had been quite decent. Consort Miao's birth and upbringing had all taken place under the watchful eyes of servants, making it relatively easy to investigate. If the Miao family harbored any dark secrets, some of the earlier servants would surely have been dismissed, creating a generational gap among the higher-ranking household servants.

However, the falling rocks around him were now more ferocious than a rainstorm. Sun Changxi wailed continuously as he was pelted, assuming that Shen Nianyi deliberately refused to rescue him upward, and began cursing bitterly from below.

In other words, curiosity killed the cat, and he wouldn't even be able to explain the truth to Xiuniang later. He had already thought of an excuse, claiming simply that the Emperor kept him talking and refused to let him go, and that his return this time was due to a hurried summons for a secret imperial decree—it was only natural to exchange a few extra words.

Qian Jun knelt before the Prince of Ren, his eyes narrowing slightly to conceal a gaze that could not hide pity and sarcasm as he stared fixedly ahead. The Prince of Ren found himself extremely uncomfortable under such a gaze, beads of sweat breaking out all over his back.

With a mental calculation, Chu Xinghan's brows furrowed deeply. He desperately wanted to use the Star-Divination Art, but a month had not yet passed since the last time he used it. Leaving aside how much lifespan would be consumed if he used it now, the success rate would also be extremely low—almost less than one percent, rendering it practically futile.

"Shining, come and meet Mr. Liu." Jiang Haoyuan seemed to value this person greatly, solemnly having Shining rise to greet him.

Who could have foreseen that Ye Ziyang would turn out to be so insanely powerful in the end? After ten years of brewing, it was a strike of absolute killing. He directly struck the 360-degree indestructible Golden Body Consummation golden humanoid, causing it to spectacularly collapse and perish.
