Chapter 264

The entire sequence of powdering and movements was clean and efficient, without a single hesitation; within moments, the two rhino tanks between the catalog room and the camp were destroyed. Such an attack seemed to happen in the blink of an eye, naturally shocking the camp into losing five rhino tanks.

The strong oppressing the weak is natural law, but if one relies solely on intimidation without benevolence, once strength wanes, backlash is inevitable.

"This is likely Douglas's own resistance. As a hunter, he excels at waiting for opportunities—he must have been waiting for this moment since he sensed the intrusion," Husetas said; as a scholar, he still possessed some capacity for deduction.

Today, Wang Mazi and Liao Quezi were also very happy, because these brothers had worked alongside them on the construction site for years; seeing them find happiness naturally brought them joy. Since the project wasn't urgent, they had specifically granted two days off to celebrate—the moment the news spread, the workers were overjoyed.

No one felt regret, because from the moment Wei Sijia appeared, the outcome had already been sealed.

Inside his body, Xu Yiming could see every one of his meridians glowing with a faint green light—any doctor would immediately sense something was wrong.

But this was not up to Liu Jianfei's will. Though he felt deeply unwilling, he had no better option—he could only wait for the next mission to begin.

The furious sword qi immediately drew the attention of the two fleeing men; Gong Suncai's hair stood on end with fear, and he instantly raised his treasure gourd behind him.

"Yes, Master, I'm coming right away!" Natasha replied with crisp decisiveness. As a demonic pet, no one's command mattered more than her Master's—because she existed solely because of him.

Beneath Fang Hong's feet lay a temple called Tag Temple, vast in scale, covering hundreds of acres, with a large monastic population of at least a thousand, housing a third-rank Tuguzu, exerting immense influence throughout the surrounding region.

"Then why not lock him up in a mental hospital?" Lü Xiangming asked. If he were locked up, none of this would've happened.

With a sigh of relief, Lin Feng and Lin Hao immediately changed their stance and stood their ground to watch the spectacle.

Bringing such overwhelming firepower to another's base gate invites suspicion of hostile intent—war becomes easily inevitable.

Lin Qiao suddenly pressed his other hand against the man's chest and shoved him onto the bed, then spun around to straddle his abdomen.

To ensure they had full energy to complete their mission, Xie Heilong rose at 5 a. . to prepare them a delicious breakfast.

Moments later, the others snapped to awareness, their hearts tightening, beads of sweat breaking on their foreheads, expressions turning bitterly grim—they all understood their predicament.

Awuha's eyelids kept twitching; he knew he had likely committed a grave mistake—one that could cost him and the entire Jianzhou Left Guard their lives.

Deng Mingyan waited a full fifteen minutes without any signal from Erxiong and the others; his brow furrowed, he gripped the reins tightly, about to act—when suddenly a scout, drenched in blood, galloped back on horseback, the steed racing like the wind, the scout slumped and swaying, no trace left of elite soldierly bearing.

The other three teammates abandoned their study of the already-triggered "totem traps" on the ground and followed Cang Yue Wuming's footsteps.

So each time he came, Qi Zijie not only updated Fu Yi on his recent life, but also taught him as many characters as possible, so he wouldn't completely regress in the wilderness—if one day he truly became like those monkeys, Qi feared he would weep for him.

The man entered with a dark, menacing gaze, said nothing more, and sat quietly on his own bunk.

The broken world was undergoing a continuous contraction; from the outside, what had once been a spherical world now showed deep craters like those on the moon's surface, and these craters formed as the entire sphere steadily withered and shrank.

At the time, Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan did not adopt Fu Yi's proposal to abolish Buddhism, nor did he regard Buddhism as a heretical sect.

He was still trying to explain when Ye Sheng suddenly drew his Shadow Assassin Sword halfway out with a sharp clang.

At the moment he witnessed the truck collide with Zhou Hangyu, Tao Xiu's mind went blank; he didn't know how he reached Zhou Hangyu's side, only that his legs gave out and he collapsed to his knees.

According to imperial precedent, once battlefield merits were verified, the emperor would consult with the Chancellors of the Council of State in advance to determine rewards for the meritorious; now that the matter was raised at court, Huangfu Weiming couldn't shake a foreboding sense.

Juzi and Xing'er stood behind the worshippers lining up to burn incense and pray, taking turns entering the main hall to kowtow before the Bodhisattva.

Although Cent was puzzled why Zhao Qingran appeared here so late, he still upheld his principles and did not ask.

"Yes, Second Young Master!" Hu Qing replied crisply; beneath her military cap, her cropped hair and demeanor exuded sharp efficiency.

After the rain ceased, she gazed at the sky and decided it was best to prepare the old king mentally: "... ather, I don't understand those rituals—if I make a fool of myself…" Of course she didn't understand—she'd slept through the three days meant for her training.

Fa Ming finally exhaled in relief, his gaze burning as he summoned qi to prepare to break the restriction and bite her—but the more qi he summoned, the more his body numbed.

"Do you really think you have the ability to rescue him?" Hui Xi said to the Black Pig with disdain.

After a moment's hesitation, "You two go have fun—I won't be joining today." For some reason, he felt uneasy in his chest.

"Hahahaha…" Watching the pile of cursed fruits gradually mounting on the deck, the Four Great Battle Kings grinned so wide they could barely close their mouths.

Thus, Qishan and Luo Chong suppressed their qi and hid within the black stone; the rest was left to the Undying Armor Servants.

In the autumn of the second year of Emperor Jing's reign, in the tenth month, the warriors of Beichen and Siam were pacified, and the emperor returned triumphantly from his campaign.

"What's going on?" Shen Andi asked, standing by the window in surprise; behind him, Lin Zeyu and Lin Zexuan also walked over, equally bewildered.

In Lan Xin's view, the upcoming formation activation and connection to Wuji Divine Palace was critically important—nothing could be taken lightly, which was why she explained so thoroughly; yet she hadn't realized herself that she was instinctively wanting to spend more time alone with Ye Lin.
