Chapter 238: Regent

What was truly terrifying was Saber hiding in the darkness together with this army — an assassin lying in wait, paired with an invincible force that had never known defeat; the combination of the orthodox and the unorthodox could produce a terrifying effect.

After Xiao Dashan followed them back, he slipped into the room when no one was looking, intending to deal with the old lady's corpse. Perhaps out of nervousness, he planned to drink some liquor to bolster his courage, but unexpectedly the liquor was poisoned, and he died from the poison just like that.

This body was still too weak. Feng Xuanyin thought that once her cold had cleared up, she would exercise every day; otherwise, how could a body like this protect the people she cared about?

By the time I came out, Zhou Xun had already returned, and on the table was a steaming hot breakfast laid out.

Zhang Yan pulled her hand free, sighed, and stood up. Yang Qingyi also hurriedly stood up, but Zhang Yan suddenly walked to the window and gazed into the distance at the enchanting scenery outside. It was a pity that everyone could at most open the window, yet none could climb out of this deep well.

She had only found this one good place to escape the palace after great difficulty; if the tree were chopped down, what was she to do when she wanted to sneak out of the palace?

He was not afraid of her suffering the censure of the world by following him, but he feared she would come to regret it. For it would be her regret that would crush him utterly and leave him unable to recover. Perhaps Wang Cheng'en cutting off the bond of affection right here could still be considered a timely stop on his losses.

Marrying him did not seem to be a bad thing at all. He was not a figure who would go down in history, so marrying him would not change history. More importantly, if she married him, given Duan Rushi's temperament, he would surely let her live a free and easy life.

Trust Clarence? Trust his promises? Not at all. He had merely borrowed the governor's Mr. tiger-skin, and offered possible resource exchanges, to get Clarence to do his bidding — that was all.

Turning his back, he slammed straight into his opponent with full force. Han Miao only realized after the collision that he had not torn open any spatial rift at all.

Wu Jie thought of the teleportation arrays he had seen before — all of them were activated by teleporters using energy — so his mind immediately jumped to energy. But for the moment he could not make up his mind, and so although his thoughts raced inside, for a long while he did not dare to voice any conclusion.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Chen Yu's mouth twitched, and inwardly he cursed the National Security Bureau for being utterly inhuman — the real bureau chief didn't come, yet they sent the second-in-command. Wasn't that just bullying people?

"Tianchang, give me the car keys." Shui Qing suddenly broke into a run. At this moment she felt no pain anywhere on her body; there was only a single thought in her mind — to save someone.

This seemed to really be our first time campaigning against a foreign main city. So what if we're invaders? For the China Region's better development in the future, Tianyuan City had to be taken.

Only, his awakening came a little too late, and as a result Li Shishi actually managed to guess what he meant.

Since the renovation of this township health clinic and the formulation of its systems had always been handled by Qin Yang in coordination with Yu Youcai, Qin Yang took on the responsibility of explaining, and together with Yu Youcai led the way at the front, conducting the inspection and giving the explanations.

Although Li Tinghui's words were phrased as a question, he had long since put them into actual action. To show his sincerity, the speed at which he stripped was truly not slow — before he had taken a few steps, his upper body was already bare, not even a single undergarment left, to demonstrate his innocence and that he carried nothing hidden on him.

Although in his heart he had already fitted a hypothesis onto the Laws of Purgatory, there were still some doubts and mysteries that kept him from fully believing that hypothesis.

"Big Sis, I really just want to buy a pack of gum…" In his desperation, Wu Jie stressed once more.

On an expedition, in the Immortal Realm where supplies were extremely scarce, this could be considered excellent treatment.

In agony, his head drenched in sweat, Wuqing curled his lips into an evil grin. On his severed arm, threads of blood glowed with a red light, and were actually slowly growing back — a sight that was both revolting and astonishing to behold.

Damn Hawkins — Chu Fan felt like cursing up a storm, but he held it back. It was the same line he had used to persuade Yang Li Wei: you can't expect every unit to fight the way the ones under his command did, can you?

As the saying goes, tell a lie often enough and the liar himself will come to believe it. Xiao Ye would rather die than reveal the truth about the stone mill. After hypnotizing himself so many times, naturally his expression remained open and at ease.

Of course, the reason the Taiji Alliance could be so domineering was also because Ao Zhen truly could fight. Every time she struck, she crushed the opposing forces with ease. Vice Alliance Leaders like Yue Tianpeng were also extremely formidable.

The reason Li Ziqing had been infected was that while she was leveling up with the Guardian players, they had suddenly been ambushed by a large Lurker force. With no hope of survival, Li Ziqing chose to be infected by the zombies, then cleverly logged off and back on, entering a void state.

Xiao Ye, sprawled on the ground, numbly and with great difficulty pushed himself up on his legs, carefully tucking the official seal into his bosom. "Thank you, Supervising Commissioner my lord, for your mercy. This humble official takes his leave." His official robe had not been stripped from him, which saved him the trouble.

Children who grew up in the fortress town — this garrison town of fewer than five thousand people — although the walls looked sturdy and tall, the number of times Xiao Ye and the others had snuck in and out in the past was as many as the beatings they had taken on their backsides.

Lei Xuantong stretched out a purple-gold arm and reached once more toward where the glossy black crystal core lay. From the tips of his five fingers shot five threads of purple-gold filament, darting forth swift as lightning.

After the light barrier slammed into the mountaintop, the originally pale-blue screen of light began to flash wildly. And when the impact ceased, the screen finally gave way, shattering inch by inch, and at last dissolved into a wisp of spiritual light and vanished.

A cold laugh rang out. The instant Shui Linglong burst up from the water's surface, a beast-vein powerhouse slammed a palm strike down toward the blue sea region below.

It had to be said, Li Qifeng's strategy of pulling the firewood out from under the cauldron became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Xie Yunliu suddenly spoke: "If it had not been for you today, I fear I truly would have committed a grave blunder." The words seemed to be finished, yet also seemed not to be, but Ye Suiyun knew this was Xie Yunliu thanking him — for a man of his stature to be able to utter such words was already extremely difficult.

Afterwards, Ye Suiyun settled his grandmother in her residence by Dongting Lake, and they agreed that once the matter was handled he would hurry back. Early the next morning, Ye Suiyun, Tang Xiao, and Qi Yufeng set out.

Zhang Yifan paid her no heed. He simply suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, where something indistinct had appeared in the far sky. His strange behavior of staring up at the sky drew Yun Yun's attention.

Watching the vast seawater plunge down from a height of a hundred meters, the Fan family cultivators stared silently at what lay ahead.

The moment the eight of them saw the Interstellar Skateboard R4, their eyes lit up. Although many people now owned interstellar skateboards, the vast majority were R1 grade.

Ye Suiyun cupped his fist and said, "Take care, everyone — we'll meet again in the jianghu another day." The boatman untied the mooring rope, and the great vessel pulled away from the shore and entered the river, gliding slowly out. Ye Suiyun walked to the bow, took out a bamboo flute, and began to play. The melodious notes of the flute swept across the river's surface and drifted toward the people on the shore, as if gently bidding them farewell.
