Chapter 42: Following in the Rainy Night

One of the demon beings was standing too close and was instantly crushed into a bloody pulp by the tail of the magic dragon.

After the Emperor of the Spider Dynasty finished speaking, he channeled the true essence within his body, abruptly swung his heavy saber into a fierce blade aura filled with terrifying might, and slashed it directly across the neck of the Emperor of the Purple Scorpion Dynasty.

"Brother Xie, since all five standard-bearers trust you so much, you shouldn't decline anymore. We brothers are all willing to follow your lead..." Xu Da and the other three exchanged glances, seeing the determination in each other's eyes, and immediately began to persuade him earnestly.

The several judges watching the battle were greatly startled and hurriedly stepped forward to repair the barrier, lest Lucia's attacks harm the spectators.

Lin Chen did not know how much time had passed before he finally slowly regained consciousness from his coma. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

However, his gaze still carried a trace of skepticism. Although Lin Chen had diagnosed the cause of the illness, it did not mean he was capable of curing it.

Over the years, they had merely sensed that the military department was conducting some kind of mysterious research, always assuming it to be some secret weapon, and had never imagined in a million years that it was the legendary Stone of Life.

"Quite arrogant, aren't you? I'll go and meet him!" Seeing this, Zhang Xiu brandished his Torrential Pear Blossom Spear and galloped out on horseback.

His golden pupils shimmered with the brilliance of wisdom. Looking at Rheinfurt, a faint smile graced the corners of his lips, refreshing and gentle like a spring breeze.

Li Qingfeng once found in the tenth volume of the Saint's Alchemy Techniques a solution for restoring the fractured roots of the Heavenly Soul Grass.

Tusu arrived at the school a little later. During the winter break, he had not been idle, instead undergoing intensive special training in various aspects.

He certainly would not admit now that he had truly harbored the thought of accompanying Tong Yu just moments before; he simply did not want to show weakness in front of Yuntu.

In fact, there was no need for us to shout; the submersible was already tilting as it moved upward. The submersible behind us seemed to sense our panic, and powerful flare shells were launched one after another.

"Good! As for this second condition, Yan'er was raised within the gates of a noble family and has always been pampered. She cannot endure the slightest grievance! You must never give her the cold shoulder, and you must never let her shed a single tear of sorrow! Do you hear me!" Cai Yong glared sternly at Liu Fan, as if he would immediately pounce and tear him limb from limb should Liu Fan hesitate to agree.

Dugu Shuqin was pulled back to reality by the other's question. She blinked, gazed at the faintly reddening sky ahead, and replied coldly.

The other party was clearly not foolish either: "Do you really take us for fools? If we cooperate, we brothers probably won't even know how we died by the end. All our brothers want is the map." His heart sank; these people likely wanted not only the map, but their lives as well.

Hua Xi was somewhat surprised. Given Jiarao's status, why was he still so respectful and fearful of Xingzhui? Could Xingzhui be more than just an illegitimate son?

The eldest sister took one look and said, "Oh my, I can't break change for this. These two bowls of noodles aren't worth much anyway, so just consider it my treat. You don't need to pay." With that, she pushed the money back into Cang Jiuyao's hands.

Indeed, if Qingyu still possessed a shred of defensive capability just moments ago, at this point he had completely lost the qualification to match himself against Gu Luo.

The entire dormitory building was enveloped by a massive layer of purple light curtain, which seemed to have a life of its own, with faint purple water ripples undulating across its surface.

Having finally endured Nurse Wu's reprimand, the Fifth Prince did not dare to linger for even a moment and hurried out toward the Directorate for Palace Works.

Although it was easy for military generals to hunt down ordinary soldiers, they could not draw their bows indefinitely, especially since they were all using heavy bows. At most, they could draw the bow a hundred-odd times a day.

"Young Master Chen, did something happen that made you want Young Master Hu and the others to join the Fang of the Wolf and help Lin Xin?" Prompted by Chen Weili's phone gesture, Yao Mei'er walked slowly over to Chen Weili, sat down on a chair, and spoke.

Hao Ren faced the huge boulder engraved with mysterious patterns, his arms extended horizontally in the same "magpie bridge" posture as before. He uttered a soft cry of "Transform," and immediately an access tunnel leading to Mohe Village in Shennongjia appeared before his eyes.

Yuerong shifted slightly, already two zhang away. Treading lightly on her tiptoes, she drew her long sword and agilely thrust it toward the Eastern outsider's sword. Failing in his sneak attack on Guan Canghai, the Eastern outsider was forced backward by Yuerong's thrust.

Fortunately, she had made preparations beforehand and timely notified Murong Ruyin to come to the rescue; otherwise, things would have been troublesome today.

Zhu Nanhui said, "He doesn't know martial arts, but he certainly knows magic tricks. Let's see if you can pull another trick today!" Saying this, she lunged toward Yuerong once again.

Fang Jianxi's words made Shao Sisi suddenly realize the truth. The progression of their mission depended entirely on Yuli and Xiyong to bring subsequent clues to the surface. If Ouyan Yu were to take Yuli and Xiyong away... the clues would be completely severed.

"You can still drink? Good, let's have a glass. Come, bottoms up." Seeing her red dress set off against her flushed cheeks, Huang Yan smiled and raised his wine cup.

Shao Wanxi blinked her large eyes, looking entirely innocent, much like someone acting coquettishly. Pei Yuche also embraced Shao Wanxi with deep affection, his large hand stroking her long hair. Completely disregarding the presence of outsiders, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

The leader of the exotic beasts was no exception; its eyes held a rare look of terror. It wanted to lower its head to check its body, but with a single twitch, its head detached directly from its neck.

"Do you know? The value of injecting this single tube of genetic enhancement serum is over a million US dollars." After finishing the injection, the eccentric man smiled at Assef while preparing for the next dose.

"What I want is to tear them down step by step with my own hands, and let them taste the very bitterness I once endured." The old man silently repeated this long-settled determination in his heart.

The Xia River Alliance army had sought out their Vesser Empire as a vassal state rather than the Earth Alliance army. Thinking from this perspective, they instantly understood that Tang Huang regarded the world where the Vesser Empire resided as Vesser's own territory.
