58 Demon Experience Card 19

On the Xi'an front, three converging armies advanced steadily and cautiously toward the city of Xi'an, while Xu Lang and Han Wantao maintained daily communications. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the others also began to consolidate their forces, with two hundred thousand peasant soldiers retreating defensively into Xi'an, making a decisive and epic battle imminent.

Jiang Beiming subtly exchanged a glance with Xu Lang, signaling him to say no more and let Lu Xiangsheng make his intentions known.

At that moment, the corners of all four people's eyes caught a glimpse of the place where the illusion-formed grand hall had originally stood. With the illusion now shattered, the true landscape revealed was actually a tremendously massive and deep crater.

If the body remained largely undisturbed or completely untouched, it was believed that the deceased had committed evil deeds during their lifetime, so much so that even birds and beasts refused to scavenge upon them. In such cases, lamas were invited to chant scriptures for the salvation of the soul, and only when the flesh and bones entered the bellies of eagles and wolves was it considered that the final respects to the dead had been fulfilled.

This would not do! If things continued this way, Sun Qing's soul would be beaten until it scattered into nothingness; they could not drag this out any longer.

"According to Young Master Wang's intentions, should we implement severe suppression?" Liu Guannan asked with a smile.

Mo Zicheng still harbored lingering fears in her heart. Had this dragon bone not shielded her for a moment, she would have long since been hacked into countless fragments like He Biluo, leaving not even a trace of her remains.

After the two of them perished together in mutual destruction, Mo Zicheng felt a deep sense of lingering affection and laid their remains to rest within the stone mountain. Little did she expect that the old man would sense their spiritual aura and summon them right before his eyes.

Chen Xin still possessed considerable confidence. Setting aside her belief that her child was exceptionally smart, the most important thing was that she understood her own family's circumstances.

The dust and sand all over the sky were stirred up. After a moment, a matching whistle echoed from afar in response.

I finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the one called Rongrong agreed, things would be easy to handle. Once I got there, I had ways to loosen her tongue; and if all else failed, simply throwing money at the problem would work.

Ji Ruolin, however, was unaware of the situation. "Then you shall punish yourself by finishing an entire jar to show your apology." Without hesitation, Ji Ruolin picked up a jar of wine and tossed it directly toward Xie Yan.

Forty or fifty archers released their arrows simultaneously. Someone like Qin Zhen, who was not particularly skilled in lightweight kung fu, found it extremely difficult to evade them. Even Situ Xiaohua became immensely perilous at this moment, narrowly dodging the lethal arrows by a hair's breadth each time.

The reason Chen Cheng wanted Japanese weaponry was to train his troops. Without bullets, it was impossible to demonstrate marksmanship to new recruits. No matter how tight supplies were, he could at least still manage to acquire some firearms and ammunition by going directly to the Ministry of Military and Administration.

Feeling a mixture of pleasant surprise and disbelief, I immediately replied, "Hello!", accompanied by a smiling face icon.

Every single one of these Imperial City spies was dressed in tight black martial attire, draped in black cloaks on their backs, wearing curved sabers at their waists, and carrying arrow quivers. With bows drawn and arrows nocked, their sights were all locked onto the four figures of Situ Xiaohua standing atop the roof of the Dragon King Temple.

Yuan Zonghuai had likewise long found Yuan Anping an eyesore. Free-loading was one thing, but the crucial point was that he was an absolute good-for-nothing, which made Zonghuai feel utterly disgraced.

Batu was rendered speechless. The fat man ate four meals a day, every single meal consisting of heavy meat dishes, alongside constant snacking—it would be a miracle if his weight did not exceed the standard limit.

Under Qi Rui's watchful gaze, Han Jinyu was still able to finish every single scrap of food on her plate without leaving anything behind.

Ye Yifeng lay on the bed. Although the bedding and other furnishings were gone, the director had given special approval to return the research equipment to him after learning of the incident. Ye Yifeng never imagined the director would be so easy to talk to; he hadn't even pulled out his God of War Ring yet, though having things this convenient was even better.

"If you leave like this, are you just abandoning me here? The two of us must share blessings and weather hardships together!" she said, grabbing me tightly and refusing to let me leave.

After Nan Yaoyao stopped coming for many days, I used finger-calculation divination and deduced that she had been bound by a soul-locking chain in a corner of the palace. It seemed that anyone who grew close to me never met a good end in Li Tan's hands. If not for the fact that Nan Yaoyao shared a binding pact with Li Tan, she probably would have been murdered by some scheme of his long ago.

The first snowfall of early winter arrived with even greater momentum than expected, and since it happened to be the weekend, many citizens bundled up in warm down jackets and stepped out of their homes, taking memorable photographs while the snow had yet to melt.

Xiaoxiao's body, as litgy and agile as a snake, squeezed right through the crack of the large gate and darted toward the front of the car.

It was not difficult to imagine how deliberately she had gone against the rules of the Imperial Clan Court to summon imperial physicians and other doctors.

The young man's face instantly darkened. Could he have miscalculated? Was this "Green Water Ghost" watch a fake? Otherwise, why would he choose a watch worth only a couple of hundred yuan?

However, immediately afterward, as he looked toward Heng Yanlin, his brow relaxed ever so slightly.

As for her, she had no hobby of casually prying into other people's secrets; she had no idea how those Jade Scarlet Infants had managed to return.

When he reached out and grabbed her, she used the pretense of facing that unseen voice together to mask her reluctance to refuse him.

His body was an extension of the "Abyss," existing within a hyperspace, which was why he could not be killed even when cut in half at the waist, and could continue to fight. Albert's strike had merely sliced open space itself without actually harming the physical body of Descartes, who was hiding within the Abyss.

"No need, I have my own," Wu Guihua said. After speaking, she glanced back at Yan Chun and the old man, her heart feeling somewhat more at ease.

Xie Yulou did not utter a sound, instead turning slightly sideways as if waiting for someone. At the same time, heavy footsteps echoed from the corridor outside the door.

Such a feeling could be considered a form of respect—a respect for those people, even though they were not yet acquainted with one another.

Shen Jieming's arrest gave Tang Miaomiao the greatest shock of all. She wanted to seek out Shen Hongxuan, but she possessed self-awareness: she was merely a chess piece, a chess piece that was now completely useless. With a child still growing in her belly, she had no idea what to do.

At that moment, the large pig came staggering over. It clamped its jaws onto the old man's gun barrel and dragged it away from the old man's head.

"Yet I still find it strange," Zhuang Xiaoyue asked in bewilderment. "You are a retired soldier from the lowest strata of society who has suffered repeated hardships in life—why remain so stubbornly loyal to your damn organization, even willing to lay down your life in its service?"
