Chapter 20: The End of the Line

Knowing that her husband was unreasonable, Qiu Hua Zheng dared not show him any displeasure. So, she quickly fetched a basin to heat water. Seeing Qiu Hua Zheng obediently start heating the water, Da Jun Zhao’s furious temper was somewhat calmed. He continued gnawing on the cornbread and then kicked the lifeless rabbit at his feet. “Later, go skin the rabbit. We’ll have rabbit meat for dinner.”

...

Watching everyone rush toward him, Hu Lai no longer cared and sneered coldly as he summoned his life-bound treasure, the Celestial Sword Pill. Once the sword pill appeared, Hu Lai’s aura changed instantly, a stark contrast to his earlier street brawling demeanor. Now, he radiated the sharpness of a peerless divine sword.

Wearing the water monkey’s skin was uncomfortable. I wanted to ask about Liu Rufeng’s father to distract myself, but Liu Rufeng didn’t even acknowledge me. He just said he would get rid of the skinless water monkey and left.

Yin Fei Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised to see Qianfeng Huo here. Huo didn’t seem like someone who took meticulous care of himself; something must be wrong.

Li Feng and a few others admitted that Liu Ling and his group targeted Wanwan Lu and even tried to strip her and Nan Nan to take photos.

After this series of events, the once resplendent Yunlan Sect was now riddled with wounds and scars.

After drinking the warm wine, Leng Qinghan was momentarily stunned. He noticed that this deeply troubled man exuded an overwhelming aura for no apparent reason.

Afraid his sister would be harmed, Fan Mo anxiously rushed over and gently pushed Mo Yun aside. His heart was in turmoil. The battlefield situation changed rapidly; Mo never intended to harm Xiao Xiao, but his concern for his sister’s safety had landed him in a perilous position.

“Show some respect to the person who saved your life,” said Su Mo. Hearing this, he felt a strange sensation but pretended nothing was wrong.

The boy’s eyes were bloodshot, and though he didn’t struggle, he stared fixedly at the man in black. The hatred in his eyes grew stronger, fierce and burning like molten lava erupting.

“Why? I’ve been good to you, always good, and only good to you. Will you marry me? Please?” Lu Yuchi’s voice grew hysterical.

Zhetong ran crying for a long time. She didn’t want to return to the Zhuo family and didn’t know where to go, so she decided to find her sworn brother, Du Kai. However, embarrassed, she looked around at the deserted mountains and wildlands, unsure of where she had ended up.

Lu Yuan wasted no words, sat on the sofa, opened a box, and placed a half-kilogram gold bar on the table with a smack.

He and Tang Duwu just wanted to make a quick profit and then flee, to manipulate their artificial intelligence project called the "New World."

Lv Kui led the way, followed closely by Su Yunnan, with Pei Lingxi trailing behind at a leisurely pace.

268 was ecstatic, focusing solely on earning points—it truly had a strong synergy with its host.

Suddenly, a thunderclap struck, followed by a howling strange wind. The grass on the ground rippled, revealing a blood-stained wooden plaque.

With the dantian pierced, the foundational core destroyed, and vital energy lost, even surviving meant living as a mortal.

It was already nine o’clock at night. Apart from the light beneath the street lamps, everything else was pitch dark.

Discovering the dense cosmic energy within the beast core, Qintian's confidence surged. This time, he was determined to breakthrough to the second tier of Awakening Realm.

Xun Mo recognized Qingcheng Ye at once. If not for Emperor Zhao standing nearby, he would have eagerly waved to her.

As a fellow human, Xia Zixuan did not resist. Moreover, he had dozens of Dao fruits; even sharing a few with Shen Tu was no problem.

That night was dark and windy, the cold wind howling. Yang Xuemei felt unwell and wanted to get some fresh air.

An Ruoran gestured toward Linda, wanting to know whether Linda intended to tell her today or tomorrow.

“There’s nothing serious; everything will be fine,” said Lan Yuchen, unwilling to recount the shocking events from yesterday in the hospital room, especially since things seemed to have improved now.

Time passed anxiously, every second dragging on. Lan Yuchen had just come out of the blood draw room.

Xu Xiaoya was utterly defeated, almost wanting to slap someone, but considering today was her wedding day, making a scene would only harm herself. So she smiled bitterly and endured it.

The cold dragon roared, targeted by a bone arrow. Unable to dodge, it was pierced through the snake-like head by a single arrow. Its long body thrashed several times before collapsing with a crash, then fell silent.

Seeing An Ruoran awake, both of their eyes clearly shone with excitement.

Du Ruo took a deep breath as he approached the stairwell, putting on a calm expression before daring to proceed.

Although the Zero fighter jet did not explode into flames again, the engine emitted thick smoke, making it clear it could no longer fight. Under friendly cover, it disengaged from the battle group and headed toward the aircraft carrier below.

Yu Heng voiced his thoughts, causing Luan Feng’s expression to stiffen, then his eyes filled with confusion. What did he mean? Was he still pushing for a battle between the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm?

After speaking, he subtly dragged the flying sword, forming several hand seals at a speed invisible to the naked eye, adding a few seals of restriction. The once radiant flying sword suddenly dimmed, becoming an ordinary low-grade treasure.

The weasel walked slowly to the stone tablet at the deepest part of the secret chamber, then unhesitatingly activated his ocular power.

Yu Heng sheathed his blade with disdain in his words, took a deep breath, and with a cold gaze, his strikes drained his earth and wood elemental spiritual power.

At dusk, without heavy clouds, the clear afterglow of the sunset cast a hazy warm orange over the mountain path.

The sea’s killer god, the Qingxu sect, though often tranquil and aloof, still carried out Laozi’s mission of saving the world’s suffering.

As Orochimaru had said earlier, it was likely that among the nine great tailed beasts, only the Nine-Tails within Kushina remained under their control.

Every step Zhou Jin took after that did not disappoint Xu Shu. As she expected, Zhou Jin openly abandoned his previous plans, allowing Xu Shu to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She did not know that today, as the leader, her legend spread throughout Xirang City. Slapping someone’s face was seen as a blessing, a gift to be gratefully received and proudly shown off.

Yun Shen’s words struck a chord deep within Lin Su’s heart. She never imagined that even a supreme deity like herself could have such troubles.

Once the dishes were served, Wang Yisuan closed the door to the private room, sat down, poured half the beans from the bamboo tube, and began to explain everything.

Su Mengxi did not retreat. With her strength, even if Liu Dahu and Tang Feng attacked with full force, they could not harm her. He needed to act at the crucial moment and could not afford to step back.
