Chapter 44: You Are Here to Suffer and Atone, Not to Enjoy Life

"Yes!" Hephaestus immediately retrieved an amulet from a golden storage chest and handed it to Diablo.

Although Nanjing had only twenty thousand elite tiger-cavalry troops, there were still more than one hundred thousand scattered across the single town and nine provinces. Even if all the garrison troops and prefectural guards of Jiangnan were deployed together, they would still be no match for the tiger-cavalry.

Principal Azure nodded and glanced around. Not a single ghost was in sight, but since a time had been agreed upon with those soldiers, the formation had to be activated now.

Du Zigong evidently attached great importance to the new school of thought emerging from the Way of the Five Pecks of Rice; otherwise, he would not have sent his most valued disciple. It seemed that, regardless of whether it was good or bad, he at least officially acknowledged the existence of the Qixia Taoist Temple on the surface.

Of course, even if such a condition existed, it could probably be cured by finding a light-element mage. However, magnifying glasses and similar items were commonly seen, especially among elderly mages.

"According to the combat logs, Skynet determined the center of the interference source based on the range of electromagnetic interference, thereby pinpointing the general area of the commander's aircraft, and then dispatched several fighter jets to inflict damage on the commander through suicide attacks," Christina said.

After all, living together and sleeping in the same bed were two different things, and clearly, Plum's words did not carry the meaning I had understood.

However, on the second day after the match, during Paris Saint-Germain's post-match review meeting, Gao Han sharply criticized the performance of most of the players—including Neymar, who scored twice, and Lucas Moura, who provided two assists—and singled out only a few players, such as Suarez and Matuidi, for praise.

Diablo had acquired a method for transferring experience points from human professional altars, which now came in very handy. Many creatures in the Burning Hells suddenly felt a tightness in their chests, only to discover that their experience points had decreased by ten or twenty points.

Seeing the dark flame wave about to pierce his body right through his stone shield, Suyang desperately mobilized the magic power within him. However, this sensation of blocked magic power was something he was experiencing for the first time, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

The space opened, and Yunjie rushed out with his fist-blades. Outside, it was already dark, but Douglas could vaguely be seen clutching his blood-red backside. The moment he saw Yunjie charge out again, Douglas instantly flew to the summit of the mountain, turned around, and prepared for battle.

Not daring to go down the mountain when Qi Yubai was away, now that Qi Yubai had returned, how could she not hurry down to stroll around?

Lu Hong could not make the final decision; in this mission, he was merely playing a supporting role, or rather acting as an assistant, taking orders from Lei Jun and the doctor. Upon hearing Yu Min's request, his gaze shifted toward Lei Jun and the other, implying that she should ask the two of them instead.

You merely assumed that once you arrived in that fertile land, you would naturally possess the strength to match it.

The howling wind rushing past her ears was somewhat uncomfortably fierce, but before Shui Yue had time to dwell on it, she suddenly stopped dead in mid-air.

"That's right, Xue Feng, you have become the guardian of this trial space! You can never leave this place!" Tiger King Asura seemed equally reluctant to face this reality.

Rogues did not necessarily mean their cultivation level was low; on the contrary, they lived freely, possessed abundant opportunities, and were by no means inferior in cultivation to those from other major sects.

A human race that had lost its king was no different from losing the pillar that held up the heavens, and for a very long time, they lived a life worse than death.

Then, bending over, he hoisted her onto his shoulder with an imposing aura and strode out of the hot pot restaurant.

Walking up to Shen Heyi, she murmured, "Pardon my clumsy display," before nervously inserting the acupuncture needles into his acupoints.

Ye Qingcheng gradually slowed her pace. Suddenly hearing a voice that could not be more familiar, she frowned slightly, lifted her gaze, and caught sight of Mu Zi'an's tall and handsome figure. A faint, subtle smile lingered on his handsome face, as if some tremendously wonderful event had just occurred.

Clearly, it was the sister who had been taken advantage of, yet the one who did so acted even more righteous and confident than the victim herself. What kind of world was this?

Yao Qingmu rubbed her nose, awkwardly lowering her posture and straightening her arms and legs. It seemed she had truly overestimated the ancients' capacity for acceptance.

Having followed the Imperial Lord for so many years, he understood the Imperial Lord to some extent. The Imperial Lord was extremely reluctant to go to the Heavenly Realm and had no desire to see the Heavenly Emperor.

No wonder that back then, in order to save her, he had taken a knife for her, struggled between life and death in the hospital for a month, and upon returning to school after being discharged, was overjoyed to see her sitting safe and sound in the classroom. Yet she had greeted him completely unfazed, casually saying, "Oh, Twenty, you're back to school?"

Lu Qingyue was already in a bad mood, and furthermore, she felt that there was really no deep friendship between her and Jun Lintian. The fact that her son had turned the nominal grandfather's room upside down always felt somewhat improper to her.

Having lived with Lu Qingyue for a long time, Ling Yuxuan could tell at a glance whenever Qingyue was unhappy about something.

He hadn't even carefully examined the divine sword, nor had he checked what the set bonuses were... He only felt a refreshing coolness in his mind.

The first forging did not go smoothly. The sword mold merely gave the flying sword a physical shape, complete with a foundational sword array, but the intricate details still needed to be carved. By early the next morning, when crafting the third sword, Shaoyang finally succeeded.

From the current perspective, Manzano was a world-class manager after all, and Gao Bobo had still lost a chess move in the tactical duel between the two head coaches. His adjustments were always a beat too slow, leaving him led by the nose by his opponent.

After exchanging a few polite pleasantries with Old Zhang, Yuan Tian returned to his seat. Upon sitting down, he saw that this group of people had indeed eaten all the dishes completely clean, leaving him with only a chicken head. Fortunately, not all the dishes had been served yet, so Yuan Tian still had food to eat.

Gu De thought to himself, "I know you're one of the Five Evils of Qinchao; since I can't afford to offend you, can't I at least avoid you?" Without raising his head, he actively stepped out of Dai Mumu's defensive zone and sprinted toward the top of the penalty arc.

A black sedan parked by the roadside. Xia菊 hurried over carrying a suitcase, opened the door, and got into the back seat. The sedan then drove off in the direction of the Shiliupu Pier.

The mysterious person discarded Sun Chang and Sun Heng from his hands. Because he was surrounded by dense fog, Yuan Tian could not make out his exact movements; he only sensed that the figure seemed to parry, but Yuan Tian's snapping whip-kick was not so easily received—the mysterious person was forced to slide backward from the impact.
