Volume 1, Chapter 64: Right in Front of Her, He Unbuttoned His Shirt with One Hand

Meanwhile, battles broke out across the other seven peaks as well, with an estimated total of over ten conflict zones spanning the entire Misty Sect.

Qi Yuan had actually anticipated this to some extent just moments before, having noticed since yesterday that Yin Qingqi seemed to be bottling up a fierce determination.

Fang Yao shook his head with a helpless smile, wondering what kind of price tag he carried to attract so many Spirit Kings eyeing him with such predatory intent.

Thinking that Fang Yao was angry about her previous rashness, Mo Yu dared not say much more. After all, anyone would be terrified of a man who even dared to directly abandon Instructor Liu's car. She immediately brought the vehicle to a halt.

"Understood!" Guo Huai replied. Du Wei grabbed Jiang Baizhan and said, "You go take temporary shelter in the dungeon!" With that, he leaped into action alongside Hua Zifang.

Beneath the endless void, within the span of a single day and night, the entire continent's five domains and four border seas returned to a state of absolute peace and tranquility. It was as if the great battle that had occurred only shortly before had faded into a gentle breeze, with the ripples and waves vanishing in an instant.

The auctioneer used the blade to gently place a strand of hair upon it. The moment the hair touched the edge, it neatly parted into two halves.

The only change of note was perhaps the mystical contract that now manifested on the consciousness of Yu Lingyao's hand—a Blood-Origin Mirror contract she had obtained at the exact instant she shattered her identity as a Pure Soul.

While Wu Ming was anxious over here, everyone on Earth grew frantic as well. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the sea level continued to rise, and before long, towering waves a hundred meters high had formed, showing no signs of stopping as they climbed ever higher.

With that, Li Zhi drew the Dragon-Blood Baptized Sword and leaped directly down from the legendary tree, Erifus.

Hearing this, the few of them finally shifted their gaze toward Lin Xiu, who was standing dazedly in place watching them.

Thus, Li Zhi and his companions had no choice but to sneak into Hogwarts. Recalling the plot from the original story, Li Zhi managed to think of two secret passages leading in and out of Hogwarts.

Guided by the faint glow of the palace lanterns, Ye Chenxuan gradually made out the source of the comforting floral fragrance. In the distance against the red wall, an osmanthus tree swayed in the wind, seemingly unconcerned that it was still the dead of night, generously letting the east wind carry its sweet scent even further.

Getting into the car, Zhou Cong turned on the navigation system. We finally set off toward our destination, C County.

By this time, the penetrators following behind Li Zhi had also realized what he intended to do. Panic gripped their hearts; one of them lunged toward the space gate, attempting to destroy it, while the other charged at Li Zhi, hoping to stop him from executing whatever spell he was preparing.

Having had her blood drawn, Tang Guo appeared rather weak. She drifted off to sleep shortly after lying down on the hospital bed. I quietly backed out of the room, deciding to call my godmother to let her know I had taken Tang Guo out to play and that Tang Guo might not return tonight. Trusting me completely, my godmother raised no objections.

Before long, Qian Jin descended to the ground, stopping in her tracks as she gazed at the pristine world of white before her.

I, Kui Yan, having incurred a gambling debt of five thousand taels of silver which I am unable to repay, have thus taken the family heirloom to settle the debt. Regrettably, the family heirloom proved to be of inferior quality, resulting in my being taken hostage. Now that my life is in others' hands, if you deliver the true treasure by the亥 hour tonight, my life may be spared.

Following his nod, the members of the Ye family instantly surrounded the long-haired youth, their posture making it clear that at a single word from Ye Qiande, they would riddle him with arrows.

Witnessing this, Lingyun Xiao was greatly alarmed. He certainly did not want the Fiery Karma Beast to be beaten to death so easily by the opponent's staff. Just as he was about to employ his movement technique to evade Uncle You's attack, he was astonished to see the fire-red furry rabbit in his hand leap forward, crashing directly into the blazing red staff in Uncle You's grasp.

"Confidence is built upon strength, and naturally, you have brought the consequences upon yourself!" Zhang Lin sneered. As he spoke, true qi began to surge wildly within his body.

In less than half a day, notices proclaiming that the prince had been severely injured and offering a massive bounty for a skilled physician were plastered all over the royal city and quickly spread to the surrounding regions, instantly becoming the talk of every town and village. Everyone waited with bated breath to see who possessed the ability to claim this colossal reward.

Guan Jian quickly descended as well, arriving beside the pegasus. The pegasus's wings were already gone, and traces of blood were faintly visible around the wounds, though the blood had long since dried.

In the blink of an eye, Guan Jian had transformed into a human torch, his shrieks of agony echoing amidst the roaring flames. Yet the fire only grew more violent, showing no signs of extinguishing whatsoever.

Welcome, Ancestor! Recognizing with certainty that the ancestor had arrived, the Liu family was first struck with ecstatic joy, and then all dropped to their knees in welcome.

Xuan Yang turned his head, his gaze colliding precisely with Bai Zhi's. A trace of surprise flashed across his handsome, chisel-defined features.

Lu Bei retrieved a bottle of water from the car and handed it to me. The lingering heat of passion still burned in his eyes, and his cheeks were flushed, making his arousal palpable to me; yet at this very moment, he was exercising the utmost restraint.

"Looking through the phenomenon to see the essence..." Orochimaru muttered softly to himself. He sensitively sensed that this phrase contained something of great importance, but when he tried to dwell deeper on it, he found no thread to pull. He looked back at the person before him; the mask concealed their face—did Anbu in Konoha really have someone like this?

The crowd, who had already been boiling with rage, suddenly found their agitated hearts calming down upon hearing the startlingly tranquil melody.

Two choices now lay before Zhang Guodong: the first was to launch a decisive attack, taking advantage of the Japanese troops' unstable footing to capture Jiulizhuang in one single push; the second was to wait for the rear reinforcements to arrive, and then concentrate his forces and firepower to take Jiulizhuang.

A moment of hesitation had plunged Captain Mountbatten into his current predicament, and had likewise plunged the *Kelly* into its current crisis. Captain Mountbatten had factored in the threat of the Chinese navy, and he had factored in the threat of the Chinese air force, but he simply had not accounted for the threat of the Chinese army.

"Wuchen, Hongjin and I are merely friends, so stop letting your imagination run wild." Held in Baili Wuchen's embrace, Yu Weiyang did not want to see him angry, so she continued to offer explanations.
