Chapter 38: Surprisingly Difficult to Kill

He had finally managed to emerge, yet he had to face this terrifying innate ability once more. Though he had stepped out of the crystal tower, he dared not stray too far from it, lest disaster strike.

However, a careful observer would notice that despite Su Xin being at a disadvantage and suppressed by the monstrous beast, he remained composed and calm rather than panicked.

Though her voice was seductive, the Serpent God’s attacks were ruthless. Countless streams of venom poured from that massive maw like water columns, crashing toward Xia Moqiu. Even before the poison arrived, the acrid, foul stench made Xia Moqiu furrow his brows.

Their ships featured a flat-bottomed design and lacked even a ramming prow to take the enemy down with them; they were, in truth, merely ordinary cargo ships repurposed for troop transport. Their greatest defensive strength lay in the Mongolian recurve bows held by the soldiers. If they encountered the enemy’s giant ballistae or catapults, they would likely not last a single round before being smashed and capsized into the river.

The beast was fearsome. Once it seized the initiative, its onslaught became even more savage. Its massive claws slashed repeatedly, each strike unleashing invisible gales of energy, as if it were desperate to tear Su Xin to shreds in an instant.

Less than ten minutes after hanging up with Yang Fan, Li Botao received a call from Yang Weize.

These words left Qi Biao even more bewildered. He had been with Ao Yong for so long and knew him too well. He simply could not reconcile that incomparably handsome face with the "bear face" before him. Yet, everything he had just witnessed with his own eyes left him no room for doubt.

Zhao Tianyou fished several exquisite drawings from his robe—a ring, an inkstone, and a table. He already possessed the Jade Seal, and the jade belt was around Kublai’s waist. If he could uncover the whereabouts of these remaining items, it would be a monumental task for him.

Soldiers who obey orders unconditionally are the finest soldiers. The Ghostly Eighteen Riders had charged into the camp to slaughter, and those who died at their hands were the very comrades these soldiers had lived and fought alongside. Seeing their companions murdered, it was inevitable that they would harbor hatred. Thus, when Qi Biao gave the order, the soldiers fired their arrows immediately.

Over the years, Lei Jun’s fiery temper had been greatly tempered, but Gao Bo’s words ignited his rage in an instant.

Yet, she longed for Mei Yulong’s love so desperately that she hardened her heart, gritted her teeth, and quickly slid the jade bracelet onto her wrist.

Upon hearing Li Hongwu’s words, Uncle Ghost realized he had been played by him yet again. He simply ignored him and turned his gaze toward Number 21 and the others.

"Is it really that fragrant?" Bu Ou was moved and picked up a piece of fish to taste.

Zhang Zhishu frowned slightly, but as a physician, she dutifully stepped forward to take Lady Zhou’s pulse.

"Oh my, tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re done for." Seeing Song Hao vomit blood, Li Qingfeng was quite satisfied with his strike.

I instructed Huai Zhu to clean the vegetables and meat, then took out the charcoal I had secretly prepared, went into the courtyard, and began to light the fire.

It was a late autumn day, after the start of winter, and Chen Mo could not complete the movements of his techniques perfectly as his master instructed, leaving him feeling restless and agitated.

It was a beam of light projected into the human world by that figure standing atop the Nine Heavens Immortal Mountain, behind the Heavenly Gate Immortal Vault of Mount Kuaiji.

The innate talents of the Heavenly King and Wen Biluo indicated that they were descendants of the natives within the cosmic battlefield, as the Engineer lineage was a race indigenous to that space—nonexistent anywhere else.

"I can only say that Ren Kejun is unlucky this time. Tell him it’s not too late to stop now; otherwise, having worked together, I do not wish to see his eventual fate." Adina’s face remained expressionless.

Thousands of miles away, Feng Qingyao, who was mid-journey, suddenly felt a pain in her heart and pulled on the reins to slow her horse.

Su Yirou was lost in thought when he picked her up, carried her into the office, and placed her on the sofa. He checked her feet, stroked her belly, and pulled her into his embrace.

It was late afternoon, and the sun was tilting westward, casting a field of dazzling golden light that began to show a trace of red.

Her clear eyes opened slightly, and Yun Xiyan quietly pondered in her heart. All the imperial physicians were men, so that was naturally impossible.

In the dim light outside the screen, seeing that Cao Jin seemed to be asleep, she did not disturb him. She carefully pulled out a quilt, spread it by the bed, and lay down.

The smile on Yan Yinuo’s face could no longer be maintained. Not only were Old Lady Xu and the others abroad, but the crucial point was that she had no blood relation to them at all.

"Fire at will!!!" Watching the soldiers of the three tribes attempting to land on the coast, Mu Yunqing immediately gave the order.

Lifting the letter from the table, Su Munan’s hands could not help but tremble. She was his mother, after all; even if he were ruthless, he could not help but feel grief.

"It must be the second cousin," Han Yingsue said. Her tone, however, was somewhat cold, revealing her displeasure.

Ye Qingsuo was also forced backward by this surge of power, crashing heavily into a pile of rubble.

Su Yu also wanted to know! Why did Su Yi think she had a salary? Could it be because of the pocket money her great-grandmother gave her?

The President of the Lighthouse Nation, who had not missed the momentary shift in the expression of the Dragon Nation’s Grand Elder, became increasingly convinced that the Dragon Nation must have a way to cope: ...?

The layout of the Jiang residence had not changed much from three years ago, a fact that Lu Junche found quite satisfactory.

George’s subordinates, standing all around, dared not speak a word, fearing they would be crushed to death by the enraged George.

Rong Luo wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "In the future, I will serve Mother Consort Chen with the utmost filial piety." Having said this, she prepared to kneel again.

Zheng Zhilong was furious, but the deed was done. The Xinghua Army had slipped from their control, and pursuit was practically impossible. Fortunately, apart from kidnapping some of his officers and sailors, they hadn't caused much other trouble. As long as Gao Heng remained in his hands, there would be no major problems.
