Chapter 48: Loss

Duan Xiaoqiu’s temper flared up as well. The man she loved was already dead, and now even her brother refused to side with her. Driven to utter desperation, she cast all caution to the wind.

"She did forge the accounts! Protecting her is useless!" Duan Xiaoqiu actually broke free from Duan Xiadong's grip.

A sharp glint flashed in Duan Xiadong's eyes, and he delivered a fierce slap across her face.

Duan Xiaoqiu stared at Duan Xiadong in utter disbelief.

Li Shuhe sensed that something was amiss; Duan Xiadong was afraid, which meant he definitely had something to hide.

Yuyou had never felt such deep-seated hatred before. Even after defeating Mu Nanqing with her unleashed berserk power, the fury in her heart remained unquenched. Therefore, for the very first time, the Sword of Heaven-Gathering Clouds unleashed its unreserved might in her hands. Rays of light shot forth from the blade, writhing like the tails of serpentine beasts, ghostly in form yet capable of slaughtering enemy troops.

Ao Yunlan was a senior Wind-attribute Archmage and the most brilliant member of the Ao family. Defying the staunch opposition of her family, she had stubbornly insisted on marrying Qi Zhenlin because she had fallen deeply in love with him, a man equally extraordinary.

Because she knew very well in her heart that they belonged to the same world and were members of the same family, and he was undoubtedly her father.

Zhan Tingting let out a cry of pain, but when she raised her hand to touch her face, her fingers brushed against nothing at all.

As for the others like Ye Hei, Wushi, and Duan De, she felt they were overwhelmingly powerful and dangerous; it was only natural that she could not fathom their depths.

After the Hilton manager escorted the guests to their car, Shen Hanzhou glanced at the flight information sent to his mobile phone.

"No." Lin Yi shook his head, rejecting the idea once again. Song Ji currently held sway over half of the First Army's effective forces; killing him now would make it impossible to control those one hundred thousand soldiers, turning into a net loss for the First Army instead.

The Azure Dragon was solely responsible for causing destruction and roaring; as for speed, it was no longer a consideration.

When Guan Yue caught sight of Ye Feng, his eyes lit up noticeably, gleaming as if he were gazing upon a rare and precious treasure.

"High-end restaurants exist purely to fleece people like you who care about face and status, don't they?" Chu Qiu curled the corner of her lips and said.

Whether driven by a reflex or pushed to her absolute limit, Qin Sangruo raised her arm and bit down fiercely on the back of Lu Yangying's hand.

With a soft utterance from Lin Baobao, that single sword strike pierced forward, illuminating the entire plaza like a flash of fire piercing the night sky.

"Sister Yang, I haven't come for old Yang; we are here to apologize," Gu Jingshen said apologetically.

It was just that later on, she heard Ming Youran mention her cousin less and less, until eventually, all news of her cousin vanished entirely.

As soon as she woke up in the morning, Xu Fen heard the patter of raindrops. Glancing out the window, she saw the rain was not heavy, but the sky was ominously dark. It looked like a heavy downpour might follow shortly, meaning she wouldn't be able to go out to do business this morning. She would just have to wait and see if it cleared up by the afternoon.

It seemed that this boarding capsule, synthesized from solid-state light, could also create fantastical visual effects by altering light refraction. The spherical shape remained completely unchanged; the other party had merely opened a hatch on the sphere leading to the outside world, yet deliberately made it seem so profoundly mysterious.

Zheng Guoqiang went to work in the fields after finishing a cigarette, while Niu Dachuang was still fast asleep.

After finishing dinner, An Ruyan hurried upstairs in a rush, without saying a single word to Mu Tianran.

Among these fierce beasts, there was one very special creature. It possessed three heads and a body over three meters long, lording over its territory as an undisputed overlord.

A short while later, outside the gates of the Hu family estate, the Asura Heavenly Venerate and a respectful-looking Hu Ba were already standing before Zhao Yu.

If sect masters like the head of the One-Unity Sect and the head of the One-Origin Sect lacked sufficient strength, could it be that Luo Tian lacked it as well?

Approaching Lin Tian was tantamount to seeking one's own doom! The two quasi-immortals also wore expressions of deep apprehension at that moment.

This scene filled the Grand Protector with extreme terror; the might of the Heavenly Blood Bead plunged his heart down into the abyss.

At that moment, having arrived within the Ice Dynasty, all the subjects within the imperial capital were struck with profound shock the very instant Huang Ling'er revealed herself.
