Chapter 45: Refreshing

In that instant, Wang Lin thought of many things, and countless ways to torture Lan Ruoshui welled up in his mind.

However, it was all in the past now; what was there that he could not let go of? Today, his heart was solely set on the Great Dao, upon the supreme path of cultivation, leaving no room for personal affections or individual desires.

Wang Lin nodded slowly, and the True Will of the Firmament within him resonated once more, offering another sincere affirmation—an affirmation of his Dao, and of his perseverance and persistence in cultivation.

...

Su Mu flew over in a spiraling arc and descended slowly, temporarily putting away his Innate Profound Domain and elemental armor, and pulled Jiang Xiangyang into a hug.

"I..." Li Mou tried to speak, but suddenly, his breath caught. His entire body plunged heavily onto the ground, never to wake up again. He was completely dead.

A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Ye Yun's eyes. He had not expected to elevate his sword intent to the level of fifty-one percent. He had thought it would reach fifty percent at most, and realized the improvement exceeded his expectations.

After that, the matter of the silver was dropped. Even so, Second Madam eventually learned of Old Madam Ye's glorious achievements outside the estate.

His strength was already sufficient to rival Liu Chen, and yet this was merely from a casual strike. If he were to truly unleash all his trump cards, how terrifying would his power become?

Seeing that Ye Yun genuinely did not seem angry, Chunyu Wei finally set her mind at ease. She certainly did not want Ye Yun to harbor any resentment toward her over this matter.

"You." Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager looked at her. She had not expected this young girl to ask such a question right off the bat, starting off with neither head nor tail—oh, this girl.

Previously, Su Mu had believed the Blind Doctor was dead, so he had no choice but to research head-transplant surgery himself. Liu Shu's research direction was similar to the Blind Doctor's, though far inferior in skill. Now that the Blind Doctor was alive, if he could acquire the Beast Scripture, he would gain control of all the Blind Doctor's research achievements.

Hearing this, Song Yixiao understood and felt a pang of secret shame. She had previously considered Old Madam Duanmu heartless, but prompted by the Empress Dowager, she now realized that this great-aunt was actually doing her utmost to protect those around her. Sacrificing Shen Qimo, cruel though it was, what choice did she have under such desperate circumstances?

Even if Lan Yudie's strength ultimately grew formidable enough to surpass his own, granting her power exceeding that of Wang Xun and the others, and allowing her to become the Sovereign Immortal of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it would still not be a bad thing for him.

"Naturally I know, so Your Honor should understand even better that this matter was deliberately framed by the Zhou family. Otherwise, wouldn't it make Magistrate Chen look like he was using his power to bully others?" Lady Shaoshi immediately said.

A battle array composed of over a hundred Silver Knights was simply peerless. Slashing down the descendants of the descendents was as effortless as chopping vegetables, and furthermore, they had no way of escaping this city. The skies were locked down by the Gemini formation; realistically speaking, not even a fly could escape.

"Bang!" The ice arrow was actually reflected back by Ling Yun, knocking down a saber-riding cavalryman at close range.

No! Wait, didn't I just do nothing and say nothing just now?! Could it really be that I look that much like some terrifying creepy uncle?

"Most of the cities in the Southern Kingdom have just been brutally slaughtered, so there will probably be plenty of non-combat quests available to take on," Fei Yan said.

Then, the door was pushed open with a bang, without any warning, as if it had been suddenly slammed open by something.

Much like the warships in science fiction films, which were generally divided into main batteries and secondary batteries, no one truly knew what a space battle would look like once it broke out, given that no one had ever witnessed one firsthand.

Time passed by unnoticed. Wang Chao looked down at the zombie dogs with utter boredom. After making repeated attempts, those dogs finally gave up their desire to come up, and merely lay sprawled in the lobby, constantly staring upward.

Wielding a horsetail whisk, three thousand strands of white silk surged forth, piercing through the surrounding warships and wrapping around the hulls like creeping ivy.

Lightning flashed, and serpent-like flames burst outward, while three palm-generated thunderbolts streaked rapidly toward the top of Li Mengying's head. The thunderballs interwove, casting a strange, oppressive domain downward.

He had sought her out early the morning after being stood up, only to find Jun Xian and Xu Musi chatting away cheerfully and discussing something with great intimacy and familiarity.

The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Harris, and assistant coach Yonas both saw the gap between the two sides. The players also felt that Spain was too strong to beat, causing their morale to sink slightly—shifting from their initial fiery spirit of wanting to fight no matter how strong the opponent was, to a mindset of "since we can't win, we might as well just use this to find our rhythm."

Liu Lang, however, never underestimated the changes in Jiujiang City, for he had witnessed too many phenomena similar to the resurgence of spiritual energy.

His original intention was to let the three of them comprehend the realmbreak on their own after breaking through, but the expressions of the three before him clearly showed deep concern.

Rather than letting her own artist ruin both the play and her own career credentials, Lou Cheng would rather select actors for the drama from the outside.

Although the Song Dynasty treated scholar-officials favorably and suppressed military generals, this was merely a difference in political treatment; in all other respects, military personnel were treated equally well. Moreover, military discipline and rules were extremely lax. Even if soldiers committed major offenses, as long as it wasn't treason or the like, they would generally get off with caning or demotion, and on-the-spot executions were almost unheard of.

Thus, as soon as dismissal time arrived, waves of students clad in blue and white uniforms would continually pour out of the wide-open school gates.

Then, right at that moment of flashing and fading, rising and sinking, the vital energy within a radius of a hundred miles was violently churned like boiling water, followed by fleeting afterimages, flying fists and kicks, and endless shrieks of agony.

You Luo glanced at him, gently brushed the hand from her shoulder, and walked slowly forward. Her retreating figure appeared lonely.

Her entire body pressed flush against Ling Si's back, holding him with a death grip, before she drifted back down into deep slumber.

I felt a little irritated. It was always like this. Every time I thought a mystery was about to be unraveled, people either refused to speak or claimed ignorance.

To figure out Zhao Ritian's background, Xue Fei made a phone call to Lu Tao, asking him to find a way to investigate Zhao Ritian's family situation.

Deep in his heart—though he had no idea who he was bidding farewell to—Feng Che turned and dashed off in the direction where his teammates had retreated just a moment before, leaving behind massive walls of ice on the spot that would take goodness knows how long to completely melt.

At this, Li Chen could not help but sigh inwardly. In the starry universe, Ancient Ancestor powerhouses were enough to awe an entire region, yet in this prison, such powerhouses were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.
