Volume One, Chapter 21: The Chimpanzee and the Spider

The two exchanged a few more moves, their sword tips producing endless howling winds and sword chants, as if countless blades surrounded their bodies, shielding them at the center, allowing no one to interfere.

When she was slipping the poison into the wine, fearing the effect might be too weak, she had added several extra pills. Unexpectedly, in the end, they all ended up in her own mouth.

“Of course not. I came to tell you that first thing tomorrow morning, they will transport the goods away. You must seize the opportunity; tonight is the most critical moment!” Bing Ling’er said calmly, as if it had nothing to do with her.

However, the First Independent Division currently had no combat missions; all weapons and ammunition consumptions had to be exchanged with spoils of war. Whether they could break even depended entirely on Zuo Gangchen’s skills.

Amid the earth’s silver cloak, it emitted a faint, delicate fragrance. Plum blossoms faced the wind and snow with pride, their character growing stronger the colder it got, inspiring admiration. In the biting wind, they possessed a unique beauty. Their subtle scent, though not as pervasive as osmanthus spreading for miles, had its own distinct charm.

The Sword Pool Tournament, initiated by the Sword Sect of the Fallen God Continent, was a grand event for sword cultivators. Naturally, Ling Qingyun, a sword cultivator himself, would not miss it.

The commentary was all from the Douyu live streaming platform, which naturally would not flatter the Panda streamer. Moreover, having already received orders from higher-ups, they seized every opportunity to throw dirt on Lin Fan.

“Innocent?” Aunt Wang chuckled, “What does innocent even mean? What isn’t innocent? When they killed Chou Tianren back then, did they ever consider the word innocent?” Aunt Wang said.

Though the waves were large and the surges fierce, Ling Yun was stronger. Effortlessly multitasking, he extended his sword finger, touched the void lightly, and a sword aura shot out from his fingertip, immediately severing the giant wave. Suddenly, a torrential downpour began, yet not a single drop fell on the two of them.

The three from the Chen family lost their composure. What did it mean to be irresistibly drawn to listen? Could such a thing really happen?

Chen Zui kicked open the door and dashed into the yard. The first thing he saw was a team member tied up like a pig at the doorway. Then, inside the yard, he saw a second one.

But no one truly cared. If they did, their divine powers could instantly reveal others’ hearts, but then they would no longer be demons. Thus, their inability to recognize their own strongest aspect was also their greatest weakness. The way of heaven: what rises must fall, what reaches its extreme will reverse.

It was early morning; most villagers had gone to the fields to work, only a few stayed home. It was a perfect opportunity to find Master Cao.

The method of cultivation based on incense and faith had been lost since ancient times, and no one knew if anyone still possessed the complete practice.

When the dark creatures realized they were outmatched, they ignored Zhou Xue’s calls for them to return and scrambled toward the black hole’s entrance, looking quite disheveled.

For example, in the late stages of a game, high-scoring players gradually separated from others; low-scoring players around them became fewer, and the difficulty accordingly increased.

Eventually, they saw a carriage slowly approaching. The person driving it left him utterly speechless.

It seemed correct. Li Zhishi glanced back at Zhuan Zhu, then turned to the bandits of Black Mole Mountain, lightly pressing his Fish Intestine sword.

“But… didn’t we do something already?” I referred to what happened in the lingerie shop.

Feng Ping looked at Wu Song fiercely and dared not speak. He led Wu Song out of the house. Wu Song noticed a large water vat in the yard, filled with about five to six hundred jin of water.

His shattered soul and body lay limp on the ground like a dead dog, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

All units received orders to enter the woods and spread out. The Xiongnu cavalry charged into the forest. The Han army exploited their infantry advantage in the woods; archers and crossbowmen fought flexibly, breaking the Xiongnu forces and beheading thousands of mounted soldiers. Once again, the Chanyu fled under the heavy pressure of Li Ling’s troops.

“Since you said you’re hungry just now, I’ll get you a slice of cheesecake and a cream cake!” Sister Su Zhiqing decided for him outright.

Unfortunately, Huzi didn’t listen well, still biting Sixth Master’s left arm, shaking his head vigorously, causing Sixth Master to howl in pain.

Looking at other special skills, even the lowest required five thousand points, and they were all low-level skills, which made Jiang Fan gasp repeatedly.

He suppressed his fear, threw away the scabbard, gripped the horse-slaying saber with both hands, and fiercely struck down the fireball Chen Hao shot out.

Behind Chen Hao, Chen Feng and Jiang Shaoping suddenly moved with lightning speed, appearing before the trio of Kong Xuan. Their fingers moved rapidly, sealing the three’s acupoints and controlling them.

Huang Tao’s subordinates were truly formidable. After a forced march, guided by locals familiar with the roads, they crossed mountains, climbed cliffs, and finally arrived at Niujiagou at dusk.

Seeing Jiang Ziqing understood, Ji Qingtian smiled, lifted his foot, and headed toward the entrance of the gymnasium.

Chen Ting rode her horse onto the track, with the Black Fox beside her. Chen Ting couldn’t help but glance back at the Black Fox, which was pawing the ground excitedly—this was its state when thrilled.

Kui Ge’s men immediately burst into laughter, their laughter filled with lewdness and sacrilege.
