54 Waiting Upon

Meanwhile, the moment the Yaksha's protective barrier sprang up, an overwhelming horde of blood-sucking insects swarmed toward him from ahead. Their numbers were so vast that the instant the Yaksha made contact with them, tens of thousands of blood-sucking insects immediately began their assault.

"Qin'er! I heard you went to the county town to deliver those sweet potatoes. How did it go?" Fang Hui asked with a smiling yet eager tone.

Gao Tang swallowed hard. As he watched the black-clad warriors under his command struggling against Deng Zhan and the others, anxiety gripped his heart. His gaze shifted, landing on Pang Tong, who was standing behind Liu Xiu.

However, Ye Mo did not allow his disciples to use the quiet rooms for too long. Aside from the fact that the rooms had to be shared in rotation, daily internal cultivation had its limits. Spending too much time on it would only lead to mental exhaustion and hinder subsequent progress.

Although Ye Mo had never been to the carefree zone, he had heard of its reputation; it was said that spending tens of thousands there in a single visit was completely normal.

"If she really clings onto us, we might as well just take her in! Let her go and experience firsthand what the life she imagines is actually like!" Shen Songming's sympathy had always been exceptionally thin. Being a businessman, he had to be ruthless and cunning to make money.

Despite previously showing contempt for Lei Yiming in his words, every gesture and movement he made now was brimming with ultimate, lethal techniques, entirely devoid of any underestimation of his foe.

As the tips of his toes lightly tapped the ground, his body soared upward like a wild goose. His mind connected with the artifact spirit within his sword to parry the attacks of the spiked chain.

In fact, Gu Feng was extremely curious as to how Gu Fei had managed to acquire his current strength and stealth abilities.

With no other choice, he could only conjure his escape light and continue flying forward at an ordinary pace. However, Di Chong soon found his flight exceptionally strenuous; not only was his speed shockingly slow, but his consumption of magical power had also multiplied several fold.

Once the memorial rites concluded, to Xiao Yu's astonishment, Situ Jing stepped forward and pressed a mechanism hidden behind the stone tablet. A narrow crevice slowly split open before the tomb, revealing clean and orderly stone steps leading straight underground.

Yet, the reaction of the Purple Gold Gourd toward Prince Fire Shadow went no further than that. Prince Fire Shadow attempted to use his Five Elements True Qi to communicate with the Purple Gold Gourd, but received no response whatsoever.

Just as he was about to leave, Old Yang pulled Jia Sidao aside and remarked that if there were any more lucrative gatherings around the dinner table in the future, he hoped Jia would remember to include him. Aside from getting to know more people, there was also free food and drink to enjoy—which, for Old Yang, was quite a pleasant way to live.

Fortunately, he was pulled back by the people around him, preventing a duel scene from playing out. What disappointed Godunov was that no one proposed the course of action he had been contemplating.

"Paiyu, something terrible has happened! The municipal bureau has been surrounded by the military, and they are explicitly demanding that we release Zhao Rui!" Guo Tiezhu's voice on the other end of the phone was terrifyingly loud, forcing Song Paiyu to hold the phone some distance away from his ear.

Right now, all I wanted to know was what Wang Qian's mother had said to Zhang Tingting to make her so agitated. Judging by Zhang Tingting's expression, she was clearly panicked as well. While I was fretting, my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw it was Zhang Tingting. I asked Wan'er if I should answer, and Wan'er said, "Answer it! We haven't done anything wrong."

Disheveled, with her body and face covered in wounds, Suoluo was the first to be pushed onto the execution stage erected in the center of the square.

The reason this magic was special was because it did not require a designated target. With just a single click, it would form a sphere with a three-meter radius around the caster, providing intermediate healing to everyone inside that sphere.

Yet in his heart, he knew the fundamental nature of his brother and sister-in-law would never change. In their eyes, family ties were utterly worthless. Only when you had money and power would they deign to speak to you about family affection.

In the open space lay the skeletal remains of dozens of people; Li Jiahe, who had passed out on the ground untouched and free of any black gelatinous substance; a jet-black, glossy skeleton; and Xuan Feng, who suddenly raised his head to reveal a cold gaze.

Zhao Zhijing smiled and said, "Lin Tianyao, don't you know that practicing martial arts at night yields better results than during the day? I am currently trying to persuade the disciples to practice at night, but I've found that they simply cannot endure this hardship."

At a level like his, the divine power cultivated within his body contained the most formidable taboo Dao-rule forces, far surpassing the power of the heavens by goodness knows how much.

Because if Nagato refused to take any more risks, he would never know the extent of what he wished to accomplish, nor even the level he desired to reach.

One must understand that by this stage, Ye Chen's Chaotic Holy Body was unimaginably immortal and terrifying. Not only could he shake immortal sovereign weapons bare-handed, but he was even capable of tearing ordinary immortal sovereign weapons apart—far surpassing ordinary Primordial Sovereigns by goodness knows how many times.

The man with a bruised and battered face, sparse stubble, and wide-open eyes stared blankly at the sky, allowing the boy to weep unrestrainedly, no longer like before when he would deliver a slap and angrily scold him not to act like a coward.

Venturing further inward, Xuexue's intention was for everyone to advance in formation so that even if they encountered Asuras, as long as they opened a gap and lured them into the formation, it would suffice.

At least as far as Feng Qiuhuang was concerned, she knew that if she were to fight him, she had no absolute certainty of victory.

The driver twisted his head backward, raised his hand, and shot the leader sitting in the back seat right in the head, blowing his brains out with a single bullet. Then he drove away in escape, though unfortunately he still failed to get away; after being captured, he was summarily dealt with by the authorities.

When he came here last year, he hadn't really witnessed the entire celebration process. After all, back then he hadn't come to see this so-called Dugong Festival. But seeing it today, he felt no resonance with the joyful atmosphere surrounding him; all that remained in his heart was a trace of helplessness.

Inside the grand hall, Prince Zhi had already departed, leaving only the members of the White Tiger Hall alongside Le Yi, Wei Liao, and Pang Cong.

As he spoke, Wang Hao flicked his hands, infusing two balls of creation energy into the bodies of Qitian and Jiushi.

Zhao She took the lead, charging ahead with fifteen hundred cavalrymen to break through the obstruction of the Zhongshan soldiers. The Zhongshan troops, who had just been trampled by horses and had yet to recover, attempted to organize a defense, but Zhao She and his men broke through their phalanx and slaughtered their way through.

Struggling hard to suppress the urge to pull Haibara into his arms and ruffle her hair, Shinha also carefully examined those lions and could not help laughing out loud. Despite being hailed as the highest-evolved and largest of the feline species, those big guys were essentially no different from the two cats acting spoiled and rolling around at the doctor's house.

Immediately afterward, Wang Hao's magical power was seen surging forth like a tidal wave, and an unknown ripple spread outward, eventually enveloping the entire arena.

Since the Zerg were capable of infecting and assimilating mutated beasts on Earth to transform them into Zerg, it was highly likely they could also infect and transform humans. This was the most terrifying and tricky part of all.
