Volume 1, Chapter 23: Where on earth did Ye Yun acquire such formidable power?

Foster parried with his broadsword and slammed his left-hand shield toward Wright’s head. The battle aura coating the shield was visible to the naked eye, and the force of the blunt impact was no less devastating than a blade.

"So what if he's simple-minded? Dad is just as simple, and hasn't he lived a peaceful life? When the factory laid off so many people, wasn't he spared? That’s what they mean by 'the simple-minded have simple blessings,'" Ji Ran argued with her mother.

"I am Frank, an elder of the Pangu Divine Sect. I have come to the Blue Moon Empire today to discuss a matter with you," Frank said calmly.

A member of the Sea Family Gang acknowledged the order and hurried away. In the interim, Long Aotian helped Meng Ke apply medicine to his wounds and carefully bandaged them with a clean cloth. Meng Ke then casually threw on a robe.

The Great Grandfather of the Sea King waved his hand, and the birth data and burning blood flew into the spirit turtle divination shell.

Li Han, staying in his room, heard the shouting outside. He opened the window and, seeing dark clouds gathering in the sky, assumed a torrential downpour was imminent. Losing interest in going out for a stroll, he sat back in his chair and continued to toy with his Soul-Refining Bottle.

Suddenly, Huang Feng, who was standing beside him, greeted the elevator with a warm smile. It was Chen Fei who had finally arrived.

Otherwise, Lin Ao would never have been able to sell his eight pieces of gold equipment, two pieces of dark-gold equipment, and purple equipment for such a high price.

"The target is in this building. Your mission is to rescue the two kidnapped Chinese athletes. Ensure their safety at all costs; as for everyone else, kill them all!" a white man in military uniform ordered his dozen subordinates, who were similarly attired.

"It is necessary!" Gaara replied firmly. Only those who have experienced that war firsthand can truly understand the power of the enemy.

When Zhou Yuqian and Wang Ping reappeared at the mouth of the cliff cave, Mo Xun had vanished without a trace.

"Let her in." Although Fenansha was suspicious, he still signaled Chi Yan to let her through.

Hearing the words of the Western Emperor, the group was slightly shocked. However, recalling how the Zither Obsessive had managed to hold off numerous experts on the summit of Cloud Mist Peak single-handedly, they gradually felt relieved.

The situation was strikingly similar to the one just moments before, yet it had reversed once again. The imposing, seemingly invincible White Sail pirates had become like fallen leaves in an autumn gale, shattering at the slightest touch.

Countless demonic figures vanished into the sea of fire, and a charred, acrid scent began to permeate the mountains.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Chong Yun, who was also frowning. His heart stirred, and a moment later, his brows arched as a plan took shape. He gave a dry cough, suddenly slapped his forehead, and put on an expression of sudden realization.

Over a thousand carriages were laden with goods, yet they were so heavily concealed by cloth that it was impossible to discern what lay beneath.

Moreover, Guo Xun and Liu Yan had been persuaded by Kebineng at the time to jointly petition the imperial court. Their combined efforts were what finally forced Ye Zhao—who had already achieved great merit and prestige in Youzhou—out of the region.

The waves of the Yangtze River push the waves ahead; if no more exceptional talents emerge, it is simply because the passage of time has not been long enough.

The commander clearly did not expect Guan Yu to dare strike under such circumstances. Before he could react, the long spear pierced his skull, pinning him directly to the gate tower.

In a matter of seconds, the Void Rat’s body expanded ten thousand times, transforming into a star-beast as vast as a mountain, covered in sharp, hideous silver spikes like a giant hedgehog.

"Heh. As for whether she will participate in this fair trade, I’d say it’s a fifty-fifty chance. But even if you don't invite her, her guild will arrive, and the winner of this auction will be her. We at 'Singing to Wine' will not be participating," Ni Liu Shang said.

Among all the congratulatory plaques, one titled "Nurturing Talent for a Century" caught my eye. It was very ordinary, appearing inconspicuous among the exquisite plaques sent by leaders, and the signature at the bottom bore no specific name: Jinting Film and Entertainment Co., Ltd.

Subsequently, this news spread to every corner of Jingzhou. Spies for the Sun family of Jiangdong, Dong Zhuo of the Central Plains, Liu Zhang of Xichuan, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, and Cao Cao of Liaodong all scrambled to send this vital intelligence back to their respective states.

By this point, Lin Fan was finding every step increasingly arduous. Each step forward required more time to adapt and the endurance of greater pressure.

"Sword Ghost, Brother You. As for 'Han Family Young Master,' you might not have heard that name, but what about 'Drunkard'?" Yutian Shenming asked.

"Damn it!!!" Just as Gu Fei spoke those three words, Yutian Shenming and Zhan Wushang realized the two of them had been caught in a stalemate, and they simultaneously gestured with their middle fingers toward Gu Fei.

"Yes, it’s a success." Precia continued her work without pause, looked up, and glanced casually at Zhou Chao, who had walked to her side, confirming the result.

Wei Yan inexplicably became a general of the Gongsun army's vanguard. The others were speechless and couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so several guards led Wei Yan to the rear camp to arrange her quarters.

Although the Arbiter did not know his inner thoughts, he felt a strange, nagging sensation as if his very undergarments had been laid bare, leaving him increasingly frustrated and his expression growing ever more sullen.

According to Song An, the Tang Family Manor was the stronghold of the Tang family, a powerful clan that had originally resided in the Chaos Domain.

At high noon, Su Qian was explaining some details about the Divine Realm to Ye Nan and the others. The three bored individuals listened with rapt attention.

Large trees were everywhere. Lin Luo chose an exceptionally thick cypress and began sizing up the base of the trunk.

Because the effect "Monsters can deal combat damage directly during the opponent's turn" was scientifically inconsistent for the physical card game, it was changed to: "As a trade-off, your own monster can attack directly during the next turn."

The Evil God’s strike roared out, sweeping over Winged Kuriboh like a torrential flood. Against its infinite attack power, the meager 200 defense was negligible, but as the dark impact washed over, although the Kuriboh was destroyed, it stubbornly left behind a transparent barrier that shielded Youxuan from the entirety of the assault.

This also severely hindered the progress of many geniuses, which is exactly why the Battlefield of a Hundred Dynasties was limited to a duration of one year.

Chen Fang’s body was now very healthy, and could even be called robust. Every time he and Ji Mei engaged in their passionate encounters, it was always Ji Mei who ended up crying and begging for mercy; Chen Fang’s formidable physique was simply more than she could handle.
