Zhuzi had thought he was a friend, but it turned out he was an enemy. Who exactly was this man? He seemed to know the Falcon very well. And the disdainful look on his face made it clear that he did not regard Zhuzi at all.

After Xu Banxian finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances. Brother Jiu frowned and asked him, “Daoist Priest, then what sort of danger will we encounter once we enter the Kun Gate?”

After Red Hair finished speaking, the big bald man called Brother Hai furrowed his brows, lit a cigarette, and then looked down at us condescendingly. “You mainlanders?”

At the same time, I discovered that a resentful and vicious spirit had also been sealed inside the rat’s corpse. At last, I understood what this thing was. It was called a demon ghost. As for why it bore that name, we had to begin with the method by which the corpse had been transformed.

Zhao Hongfei had wanted to take the opportunity to mock the Nationalist troops, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. This might be the last time he and Liang Yihui ever worked together. After spending these past few days together, Zhao Hongfei felt that Liang Yihui was actually a decent man, and his opinion of the Military Statistics Bureau had changed as well. It was not nearly as sinister as television made it seem.

Bai Lin let out a quiet sigh and turned her gaze toward the car window. They had reached their destination: the Su family’s old residence outside the urban district of City B. The car came to a steady stop, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the white lantern hanging at the entrance of the old house in the distance. A black mourning inscription was painted across it.

A quarter of an hour later, Four Seasons Orchid accepted Young Master Le’s invitation to find a secluded place with him and discuss such profound matters as their outlook on life and values. Several of his friends watched resentfully, their eyes bloodshot, as Young Master Le left with the beauty.

There was indeed a chance that the enemy might appear to the west or north of the position. Yet our troops and equipment were far inferior to theirs, and more than ten thousand civilians stood behind us. If either side made the wrong judgment, the losses would be irreparable.

Shao Fei now understood Zhang Fakui’s meaning. He wanted to form a sniper company, perhaps even a sniper battalion, because sniper warfare was the finest weapon for defending a city.

Ling Xiangdong was shamelessly thick-skinned, and he was also the sort who quickly made himself at home. No one had invited him to sit down, but he felt no embarrassment. He simply walked over and sat on the sofa beside Ling Xiangnan.

“Then eat this fruit.” Ling Xiao held the Death Spirit Fruit out before Beiming Dong. The battle qi within his body surged, and a Heaven-Splitting Finger burst from his hand, shooting straight through Beiming Dong’s skull.

After discussing the serious matters, Ye Qinghan exchanged a few sweet words with Ling Xiaolu. Once he hung up, he glanced at the doorway behind him. After a moment’s thought, he decided not to go inside. He intended to surprise Xia Lin.

The fish’s eyes were stretched wide, as though they were about to bulge from their sockets. They sent a chill through anyone who looked at them, giving the impression that the fish had died with its eyes still open.

Her gaze had always been bold and unabashed. At first, it made him somewhat uncomfortable, but once he grew accustomed to it, he even found that he enjoyed it.

His dark eyes fell once more upon Ling Fei. He looked at her exquisite features and graceful figure, and his gaze dimmed before he turned away, somewhat sullenly.

Song Tianmo was furious. His expression darkened little by little, like a sky thick with storm clouds, as though fierce winds and torrential rain were about to descend.

Chu Chaoyang nodded. He was astonished that he had said those things himself, and his face flushed. He had no idea when it had happened, but somehow he had become capable of expressing his feelings so openly.

Madam Tan was deeply gratified. She felt that ever since her Mei’er had become a great-aunt, she had grown increasingly mature and sensible.

The youth was covered in wounds, with not a single patch of uninjured flesh on his body. His breathing was exceedingly weak. It was obvious that he had been injured without receiving treatment, and the added torment of hunger had caused his wounds to worsen continuously.

Ruan Xing had never taken the matter seriously before, but after what happened today… she suddenly began to entertain other thoughts.

Then Zhan Yining swung the wooden stick wildly in every direction. A clattering, banging noise rang out, and no one knew what exactly she had struck.

“Couldn’t you at least have some German doctor fall for my inner honesty and kindness, then invite me to join some kind of super-soldier program?”

They would pass through the Dusk Wasteland to reach the Rift of Night, then turn back from the Rift of Night onto the route planned earlier.

If he failed to return from this journey, it would still count as the last thing he could do for his family.

Since everyone was building a twenty-first-century house for the first time, none of them knew anything besides me. They had no idea how to construct it or what methods to use. Ancient architecture, its construction techniques, and its technology were far too different from those of the twenty-first century to be applied interchangeably.

Hearing that familiar voice, Marshall D. Teach wore an expression of disbelief. Even the killing intent radiating from his body momentarily froze.

With a single punch, Liu Changquan shattered an ice cavalryman and charged toward Mo Yunxuan and the others as well.

Hearing that familiar mother tongue and those beautiful four-line verses, Mu Guiying became immersed in the ethereal, desolate mood of the poem and could not pull herself away.

As fate would have it, everyone had met the person who spoke. It was none other than the six people from Withered Wood Base City who had arrived in the Demon Capital with Su Ye and the others that afternoon. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be planning to eat at the Taste Pavilion before reporting to the dormitory district of Demon University.

Only upon hearing those words did Ling Yuan’er see the truth clearly. Everything had been an illusion created by Rong Xian to deceive her.

Once he finished the exercise routine, Ji Cai finally recovered. While performing the set of punches just now, he had constantly felt a certain stiffness and had wanted to watch the video again and practice for a while. But when he checked the time, he exclaimed, “Oh no—it’s already half past six!”

He had never expected his older sister to come in person. She must have spoken with the Emperor and come to cheer him on. He absolutely could not disgrace her, and would have to give it his all later.

Feeling the enormous pressure coming from all around him, Chen Xi realized that communicating with Black Tortoise would be difficult under such conditions. He therefore set up a massive protective barrier beside Black Tortoise, enclosing both himself and the creature within it. That way, he could no longer feel any pressure. Moreover, a waterless space had already formed inside.
