Volume 1, Chapter 59: Appearing in Court

Employing the technique of striking across mountains and subduing bulls, the Sect Master drove his martial art—an elbow strike—directly inside the protective barrier. The Three Pure Ones hurriedly recalled their respective spiritual treasures to defend.

"Ah! You guessed it in a second. But he is not the Green Wind Hero; he is an impostor," said Gongsun Qian.

Perhaps many people do not understand the countryside, or rather, the countryside in other regions. At least around the Huaihai area, public scolding and street cursing in villages are entirely normal occurrences.

Gaoyang managed to find a set of tattered cotton-padded clothes from somewhere, put them on, and strolled back and forth through Xu Zeng's city. Because the outside attacks had ceased, the survivors within the city also seized this opportunity to come out.

Walking along the road for a short while, Gaoyang reached the edge of the market and saw that quite a few people were already setting up stalls. Just like browsing a market before the apocalypse, Gaoyang walked in with his hands in his pockets and a swaggering gait. Looking at the vendors busy arranging their goods around him, he truly felt a bit like laughing.

Gu Xinan desperately wanted to refute her father's words, but facing her deeply sincere father, she could not utter a single rebellious sentence. She was afraid that if she spoke words of contradiction, her father's sweet dream would turn into a nightmare.

"Lord Marquis, I heard the Fourth Young Master is actually a young lady?" Zhang Haoran looked at the grandfather and grandson, his emotions quite complex.

It stood to reason that after exerting himself so much by holding the horse stance yesterday, Liu Tianhao should not even be able to get up. Yet now, he felt full of energy throughout his entire body, with not a trace of exhaustion. It seemed he had rested very well last night, Liu Tianhao thought to himself.

Everything that happened here was transmitted back. Xiao Zhan could guarantee that these nations would certainly not give up hunting him down. Once they knew he was here, they would definitely resort to every possible means to eliminate him.

With a single strike of his axe, he split the giant hand apart and shattered the lightning. Before Kunyang could rejoice, however, he saw the scattered lightning rays gathering back together. In the blink of an eye, they merged into a five-colored bolt of lightning that descended swiftly.

By today, the magic net he had been laying out had reached its final closing stage, leaving only the most crucial step remaining to be performed.

In Liaodong, Zhang Chu also closely monitored the military situation in the capital. The outcome of events left even him dumbfounded. When intelligence reported that a large number of people had died of illness within Beijing, describing their symptoms at the time of death, Zhang Chu finally believed that the posterity's speculation of a plague occurring at the end of the Ming Dynasty was indeed true.

This explosion was much closer to Luo Tianhua, directly blowing apart his protective water dragon. A miniature water dragon lunged straight toward the direction of the explosion, but it had already lost its target, striking empty air and continuing with unreduced momentum to crash directly into a wall.

Although most of the elves present possessed enough elegance and breeding not to stoop to flattery just because of a single remark from the Master of the Holy City, they nevertheless considered the proposal itself to be quite good.

Guo Dahai let out a dry laugh and said, "Brother Tian, I was just joking. Who wouldn't want to become the number one expert in the world? I will work hard."

Under his interference, Chitian attempted to break free using his Dao intent alone, only to be met with the suppression of the Great Dao. Reinforced by the immortal Dao methods of Immortal Lord Huntian, his Dao intent suddenly surged, causing the entire chaotic void to tremble slightly as all forces converged to suppress Chitian's Dao intent.

Stooping down, he picked up the dagger, feeling as though a mysterious power resided within it, though he knew not how to wield it. With a casual wave, he sliced through the air with an unusual sound; it was undoubtedly a precious blade capable of cutting through metal like mud.

As he spoke, Yang Tian transformed his claw into a palm and sent the middle-aged man staggering backward with a single strike.

When the sun peeked through the eastern clouds, illuminating the walls of Torrent Keep with the first rays of dawn, the night-shift guards began to yawn and heavily push open the battered, heavy wooden gates.

Yet to suggest that the original singer had arrived in person felt rather unlikely—how could such a coincidence happen?

It appeared frantic, with one command following another and a new regulation succeeding the next, but in reality, it was resolute, orderly, and unhurried.

However, when Qingqing finally shifted the crux of the problem back to funding, Zhao Tian could only laugh or cry.

The dark lump looked at the dying rat on the ground, its expression shifting slightly as it gripped the steel rod in its hand even tighter.

Not long after Li Jiting and Cheng Mo left the safe house in Room 35, Cao County, this somewhat aged apartment welcomed another uninvited guest.

After a lingering and reluctant farewell, watching the retreating backs of his companions, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

This was an item acquired from the initial return gift package, along with the Phantom Veil and the Square Inch Jianghu.

The aggrieved voice of the ghost bride drifted faintly, sounding as though it came from far away, yet simultaneously right beside his ear.

The subsequent development of events would inevitably implicate Cheng Mo. Regardless of whether Liang Junwei intended to drug anyone, Cheng Mo would undoubtedly incur Liang Junwei's wrath.

The new emperor wore a dark expression. "General Yuwen, I thank you very much. Are you practicing some sort of membrane magic? Your finger technique is so magnificent that you poke a hole through such a thick wooden door with a single jab."

"Alright, say no more!" Liu Liu frowned and scolded Liu Ting, then irritably dragged me away.

"Hello, Guozhang? Calling so late, is something the matter?" Fang Haiyang asked from the other end of the line.

The giant female serpent's condition was no better than his; both of them perceived the desire burning in each other's eyes.
