"Ah...!" A scream that pierced the heavens echoed through Siwa Village. The excruciating pain caused Wang Changshuan to roll continuously on the ground. The rag in his mouth had fallen out; otherwise, such a beautiful scream might not have been heard. Liu Feng looked up at the azure sky for a moment. As he lowered his head, he delivered another heavy, forceful blow to Wang Changshuan’s skull with his club. This strike shattered Wang Changshuan’s head, and flesh and blood flew in an instant. "You brought this upon yourself. This is the price for touching my woman." Wang Changshuan had not yet breathed his last, but half of his eye socket had collapsed—a wretched sight indeed. "Was it this hand that tied her up? Then there’s no need to keep it." Liu Feng took the axe from his waist... I truly don’t know how Brother Jie’s brain is wired. He doesn't use a single dirty word, yet his insults are exceptionally vicious and caustic, capable of sending anyone’s blood pressure skyrocketing at any moment. The four men opposite him turned pale at these words. One of them, a Taoist of about forty with a thin, two-strand beard, spoke up: "I never expected that Xifeng, the leader of the four great guardians of Listening Snow Hall, would be reduced to nothing but name-calling when facing death."

But what appeared before Jiang Hao was not a scene of intense battle, nor a moment of crisis. Instead, it was a picturesque scene. Li Shaojie is incredible; now that our domestic musicians are stepping onto the global stage, we can all hold our heads a little higher. Harsh truths are met with hatred; Yuan Shao, a solitary ruler, lacked strategy. With Wuchao’s grain supplies burned and his foundations uprooted, he still foolishly attempted to defend Jizhou. "Oh! Found it, I found it!" Jiang Yuhe exclaimed in pleasant surprise, drawing the gaze of everyone present. The servants, who had been sweating profusely after searching for ages without success, all let out sighs of relief. Watching the Commissioner, who usually wielded power with such ease like a space commander, in such a state, Zhao Changxing sighed inwardly. As the distance to the Devouring Blood Python closed to one hundred meters, Zeng Lian quickly issued the command to attack. Strangely, however, no liquid flowed within the tent. The people who had been sleeping there just moments ago had vanished as if they had evaporated from the world. There were no screams, no fresh blood, and no magical or summoning portals lit up; the five of them simply disappeared from the moonlit pool illuminated by the bright, clear moon. Ke was further appointed as Grand Tutor. He then suspended the court’s reception of petitioners, closed the schools, forgave outstanding debts, and abolished customs duties. His governance prioritized benevolence, and everyone was pleased. Whenever Ke went out, the common people craned their necks, longing to see him. Wu You thought to himself, I didn't expect this young lady to be so resolute. Yet, he couldn't have gathered so many girls here just to sell smiles. What, then, was their true objective? Wu You kept his eyes on him; the moment he saw him trying to run, he grabbed his collar and yanked him backward. "How long do you intend to play this 'father and son' game?" Qin Zheng said, though he still bent down to pick up the adorable-looking child. As the formation sealing the iron gate was undone, a powerful counter-shock force rippled outward. Seeing her makes my blood boil, but I knew I couldn't afford a conflict with her at this moment, so I stood aside to let her pass. This is the principle of the turning wheel of Feng Shui that I have always emphasized; no matter how prosperous a land of good fortune may be, it is destined to fade—it is only a matter of the cycle’s length. The cycle for this wooden house is a mere twenty years. Once the cooperation is confirmed and the contract is signed, one must head to the second floor of the martial arts school to sign it in person with their current family head.

The butler was no fool. Seeing that the situation was dire, he had already secretly sent men to find Tong Guowei. Several princes going out together, combined with the Imperial Noble Consort’s decree, was naturally a major affair. Even if Tong Guowei didn't favor the master of the house, this was a matter of the Tong family’s reputation. The winter is arid with little rain, and as temperatures begin to rise, these become the specific weather conditions that form sandstorms. Surface-level single-cell currents gradually develop into cloud clusters or squall lines, allowing the sandstorm to evolve and continuously expand in scale; as long as there are favorable wind speeds and topographical conditions, a sandstorm forms immediately. "Three seniors, let us leave this place to talk. This is not a good spot." Lin Feng understood clearly that Huo Minglan had powerful backing. If he sent a message, the experts from his faction would be guided by his soul and arrive, which would be a troublesome matter. Qiu Shaoze was momentarily speechless. Lei Lixing was entirely correct; his own indecisiveness was the true culprit. If not for his hesitation, who in this world would dare to be his enemy? Using the power of his spirit, he opened the Wuwang Divine Emperor’s storage ring. Lin Feng felt a sense of disdain; for a peak Divine Emperor, the Wuwang Divine Emperor had surprisingly few treasures. However, for Lin Feng, the corpse and divinity of the Wuwang Divine Emperor were the most valuable, as they could be used to refine many medicinal pills. "Li Zhongtian, Li Cailian is still in my hands. Do you disregard her life?" Xiao Rang sneered. Just as Li Cailian and Ao Li had feared, Xiao Rang truly did not use any techniques or spells; he simply surged his immortal power and charged forward, relying entirely on brute force. "This is called being profound, do you understand?" After speaking, Qiu Shaoze reclined on the sofa, stretching his arms to drape them over Shang Mengqi’s shoulders. Of course, there are also a minority of natural mineral aggregates, such as agate and opal, as well as organic materials like amber, pearls, coral, jet, and ivory; all of these are accessories included under the category of gemstones. "However, the fleets of various nations in the Bohai Gulf will not simply sit there waiting for submarines to attack. They can completely withdraw from the Bohai Gulf and simultaneously blockade it!" Seymour added, one sentence after another. "It’s nothing!" I roared. The snake tongue wrapped around my throat began to constrict, attempting to pull me into its maw. Although the force was great, it could not crush my throat; the bone armor on my body is not something easily broken by ordinary strength. I arched my back, resisting the pulling force.
