Chapter 14

The player holding Song Yu hostage flashed a look of ruthless cruelty in his eyes, but the very next second, that emotion turned into utter bewilderment.

Instead of collapsing from a fatal wound as he had anticipated, Song Yu drove a dagger straight into his heart.

He could not understand why Song Yu was not dead, yet he himself was.

The traitor's body collapsed limply. Clutching his continuously bleeding neck, Song Yu quickly pulled out the dagger, retrieved a bandage from his inventory grid, and wrapped it around his neck to stem the flow.

"Anyway, Third Brother is more worldly than I am. Whatever you say we should do, we'll do. What's wrong with giving him a ten percent silent partnership?" You Junda had no better ideas anyway; having a stake belonging to the Imperial Inspector in Yanzhou would ultimately bring more advantages than disadvantages.

Everyone agreed in unison, full of drive and enthusiasm. Hating Kingdom was a scene of bustling activity. Zhu Mu was the bane of the Yinling clan; he had never expected that as soon as he obtained Zhu Mu, news of the Yinling clan would arrive. With Zhu Mu, even if they could not defeat the Yinling clan, they would be completely capable of self-preservation.

"Then you use that one. I'll just use the standard issue sidearm from the officer," Qin Huang said. He walked over to the police officer, smiling cheerfully as he picked up the man's sidearm and brandished it.

Zhang Zheng nodded. Hearing what Li Chao had said, even though there was still no sign of progress yet, he believed that with Li Chao's strength coupled with his own assistance, none of these would remain mere fantasies of the future—they would inevitably become reality. The foundations of the future would be laid by Li Chao and himself together.

Retreating from the courtyard, Zhang Zheng saw Tang Chu sitting with his back against the compound wall, panting heavily. Reaching into his pocket, Zhang Zheng fished out a pill, walked over to Tang Chu, squatted down, and offered the pill to him.

However, after taking only a few steps away, a deafening explosion suddenly echoed from the neighboring street. Immediately following that, a huge black mushroom cloud quietly rose from the street front, plunging half the road into pitch darkness. Then, two more heart-wrenching screams pierced the air from that same alley; judging by the sound, the outcome must have been too gruesome to behold.

Controlling the Five Elements Orchard was equivalent to guarding the gateway to the Mystic Palace Secret Realm. Once they secured the Mystic Palace, those people would have nowhere to run. Furthermore, with half of the Azure Bear Tribe's battle team stationed right here, they could maintain a continuous influx of reinforcements.

For the past few months, he had been constantly busy with the affairs of the Bear Country: reorganizing the tribe, constructing the thousand-mile grand array, refining divine blood for his martial mentor's wife, and cultivating the path of the soul. The five wives had also come over from West Azure Bear and helped out the entire time, leaving not even a moment to whisper sweet nothings.

After a moment, several horsemen were seen galloping out from within the military camp. The leader wore a red-tasseled iron helmet and silver-scaled armor, mounted on a robust, thick-flanked bay horse that surged forward like the wind, kicking up a few wisps of dust.

Seeing Guan Yifei in such a hurried rush and truly wanting to leave, Wang Xueyan felt deeply unwilling. She refused to accept that the person she had yearned for through hundreds and thousands of nights would just leave like this, refused to believe that their romance had turned into nothingness, and even less could she believe that his inherent nature could be so heartless.

Moreover, a crucial point was that his battleship was alive; it could crawl directly onto the island and grow root systems to regenerate energy.

"Wait a little longer." Walking over to the water dispenser to pour a cup of water for the newcomer, Yang Mingzhu repeated the very words she had just uttered.

He had originally wanted to observe the situation a bit longer, but since Ye Fei's grand势 was now a thing of the past, he too needed to prepare to step forward and grab a share of the spoils.

The last time the story was told, the medium Elise came to Josh's home to perform an exorcism on his eldest son, Dalton.

Along all four sides of the base city walls, elite soldiers stood guard in high spirits. The guardian spirits they possessed were, throughout the long river of history, the elite among soldiers of every era, capable of fighting ten men single-handedly.

Although this place was far from bustling like the vibrant downtown area, after passing through a few tiled houses with swallows' nests built under their eaves, one could catch sight of the magnificent and imposing Vajra Temple.

The moment Li Gu summoned Pangu, the Dragon Country erupted in euphoria. Furthermore, everyone knew instantly who the champion of this arena battle would be; it went without saying.

Then, in just a fleeting instant, the vital blood energy of Tantai Tianyong that coiled around his Ten-Directions Overlord Spear shattered and collapsed inch by inch under this single hand-seal from Chu Yuan.
