Chapter 57: Clearly a Mutual Pursuit

He had originally hoped for some kind of sword technique, or perhaps some high-level treasure, but it turned out to be a physical secret technique. Weren't the secrets of the Heavenly Family enough to transform his mortal flesh into a mystic art?

In the rear, Mu Yuan wore a deeply worried expression; just by looking at his face, anyone could tell how profoundly distressed he currently was.

Fortunately, in the end, the two of them could be considered to have crossed paths and gotten to know each other through conflict. Although they did not share a deep friendship, they had at least fought, right?

"Even Yan Jinglei died at my hands; what do you think you are?" Xiang Yu let out a cold laugh. Employing his ethereal movement technique, he met the charge head-on without the slightest hesitation or evasion.

"Second Young Master, do you truly intend to let him leave?" After Hou Liangsheng departed, Liu Yu's expression flickered with uncertainty, and he finally could not resist asking.

Tian Mo also glanced around the vicinity. Indeed, there were not many people left, though the ones present were certainly all experts.

Niu Beidou showed an exceptional degree of panic, raising his pistol as if to fire. Seeing that the situation was critical, I flipped my hand and struck fiercely upward against the butt of his gun. His pistol let out a muffled, fart-like pop, and the muzzle flash shot straight into the sky. To my surprise, the fellow's firearm was equipped with a silencer.

How could such a venomous gaze possibly escape Chu Yan's divine sense? With a single sweeping glance, Chu Yan froze instantly.

Regardless of how immense the might of Tang Haotian's palm strike was, and no matter how bone-chilling its frigid aura, Tang Yi's hand stood like an unsurpassable mountain, blocking everything outside with absolute flawlessness.

Setting aside whether Xiang Yu would allow him to leave, even if given the opportunity, he had no intention of departing, because the Painted Butterfly would inevitably subject him to endless, tireless pursuit.

"Thank you all for your concern. I believe this is a question everyone will know the answer to shortly." Liu Tianqing's smile remained faint, carrying that familiar detachment Ye Li knew so well. Yet the message it conveyed caused her heart to plummet instantly into the abyss—he was going to get engaged, and to a foreigner at that. Who could tell her if she was simply hearing things?

Aside from them, there was a fifth newly carved president whose portrait was so massive it completely overshadowed the previous four.

Who would have thought that within just those few days of rest, the people dispatched by the imperial palace would already have returned, bringing back news regarding the Medical Immortal Sect.

Song Yaxuan raised a protective barrier of spiritual energy, but one side of his body was still drenched in sweat while the other was frozen white with cold.

The skill she had upgraded to the elementary level was the Appraisal Technique, an ability used to understand the basic attributes and conditions of items.

That military commander continued: "I also thought of another matter: when the fourth brother led his troops to transfer this time, very few soldiers in our army knew about it. How did those Nangong rebels find out in advance and set up an ambush? As our army attacks Shaoyang this operation, we must also pay attention to strengthening confidentiality measures."

However, that bronze coffin had already sunk into the magma, the ancient killing array had been triggered, the headless ancient corpse and the viper had vanished without a trace, and the underground tomb had been reduced to ruins. Finding the bronze coffin again was practically impossible.

Wei Lai muttered these three words under his breath, resolving in his heart to find an opportunity to figure out what the Fourth Firmament was really all about.

"Two carriages collided and blocked the way. Taking a detour along other paths would have taken even more time, so I waited for the people from the Shendu Prefecture to resolve the issue before returning home. It only delayed me by about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea!" Cui Haoran explained.

Back then, Yang Jiakai's instructor had taught him certain Wing Chun techniques, telling him that if Wing Chun was practiced to the realm of perfection, it could be called invincible in close-quarters combat under heaven.

Having just taken multiple palm strikes from his opponent back-to-back, he felt as though the internal organs throughout his body had been shattered.

For several days straight, he had kept silent about all this news, deliberately making things difficult for me and delaying the time I had to search for my master. This was something I could never forgive.

"No, no. Well, if classmate Qin Feng wants to, wants it in the future, he can come find me anytime." Ding Hanyu's blush extended all the way down to her neck, her breathing so erratic she probably had no idea what she was saying.

Yang Jiakai, however, had anticipated this outcome long ago, and had therefore arranged for Old Stick to protect Han Ning secretly from the shadows.

Upon hearing Liu San's words, a sudden wave of realization washed over me. I finally understood how this fellow knew of the existence of that stone box—it turned out he was Liu San's biological father.

Naturally, her excellence was evident to all; otherwise, she would not have attained the position of chief financial officer of the Xia family at such a young age.

In this way, across the youth, middle age, and old age of my life, I had a legendary experience worth savoring, which left me immensely satisfied.

"I actually do know a few Earth Gods. Would they be of any help to you, Heavenly King Broad-Eyes?" the God of Wealth asked.

"Bastard, you are doomed to die a horrible death, a horrible death..." Senior Brother Dongfang cursed frantically, but it seemed nothing could reverse the situation. When a demon general struck, no one could possibly offer any assistance.

An attendant noticed Long Mu entering, immediately walked over, and scrutinized him closely.

Knowing she could not shake off the charge of unbridled indulgence that Ahan had pinned on her, Yun Qingyue did not argue. She gently pulled Qianhui, signaling him to leave.

A flash of astonishment crossed Chu Han's eyes. At that very instant, the Dragon Proud Nine Heavens technique imprinted in his mind surged forth, revealing a complete and flawless circulation diagram of dragon power.

The dozens of mercenaries who had sworn allegiance to Li Tong and his son, desperately arguing and fabricating excuses on their behalf, were all executed by Lin Wentian's confidants.

Previously, he had been waiting in vain for an opportunity, but now the chance had arrived. He naturally understood the hint Wei Mingli had just given him. As long as he strangled this person in the cradle, Wei Mingli would hand over the Mystic Sky Crane Immortal Grass with both hands.

Dozens of silver needles, the moment they made contact with the spiritual energy swirling around Long Mu's exterior, seemed to strike hard metal, twisting, snapping, and scattering across the ground.

Ji Ziyan busied himself handling affairs while keeping track of the time. When he estimated that Xia Nuannuan had finished eating, he called her again, but still received no answer.

She found an excuse to skip dinner, having Lingxiu prepare a few pastries to barely fill her stomach. After bathing, she immediately went to bed.
