Volume 1, Chapter 37: Ambush in the Mountain Forest

"Oh no!" The woman’s expression shifted abruptly. She grabbed his arm and yanked him into the nearby brush. "Get down!"

No sooner had they concealed themselves than a dozen knights clad in purple martial attire appeared on the mountain path above the riverbank. The leader held a small, palm-sized black flag; a faint, eerie purple light pulsed across its surface, as if sensing something.

"It’s somewhere around here! The brat came up from the river!" the leader shouted. The black flag in his hand shivered, the purple light flickering, pointing directly at the bushes where Su Haoming and his companion were hiding.

Su Haoming’s muscles tightened instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He...

Every mermaid had been transported by Su Yang’s interdimensional portal directly in front of the idol at the sacred altar.

Stepping onto the soft grass, they looked up at the blue sky, closing their eyes to breathe in the fresh air.

The moment I opened the box, I immediately spotted the several "toothbrush-style" bronze keys lying inside.

Before Elder Xu could react, the Monkey King’s claw pierced his chest. The Monkey King stared fiercely at the fading Elder Xu, then pulled out his blood-drenched right hand and headed toward the inner sect without a backward glance.

"My uncle actually knows when I’m on my period? He really is a pervert!" He Weixi snorted and tossed the phone back into Chen Ke’s lap.

Isn't this ghost the very thing you kept trying to make me eat? Did I misunderstand? You said you supported me eating it just a moment ago! And who says you can't add seasoning to air? What about air fresheners? Don't they add other scents too? As long as there’s another scent, it’s easier to stop thinking about the ghost.

The largest and most resilient Battle Lizards lead the hunt and become the leaders of their tribes. However, once a leader shows any sign of weakness or hesitation, the others will attack them ferociously and devour them.

Of course, it wasn't just the Jin people who were baffled; their military advisor was also filled with suspicion at that very moment, though her face, hidden beneath a bamboo hat, betrayed nothing to those watching her.

After leaving the Lin residence, Lin Yi saw Yue Yunhu standing rooted to the spot by the stone lion and couldn't help but ask in astonishment.

"Student Wang Bo, a heart cannot be wiped clean. It’s like the natural veins in marble—it’s inherent. No matter how you polish it, it won't go away. But you can treat it as your own unique mark, just like the marble."

The turmoil of the outside world could not reach Wang Kai here. For the first time, Jia Ying had her own vacation and could stay with Wang Kai for a few days, which made Daisy overjoyed.

True Dragons are masters of riding the clouds and mist; it is their most basic skill. Yet, here I was, unable to fly. My face turned pale; this was the first time I had ever encountered such a situation.

"Kill your grandfather! Get lost, all of you!" I roared, and a wild wind swirled around me, scattering the Eight Desolation Sword and forcing all eight pillars of the formation to retreat. Then, I stepped forward and, with two fingers, perfectly caught Lu Xiuhu’s peachwood sword.

"Speak, what is there that cannot be said? What are you afraid of? Believe in me, you won't cry, I won't be sad..." The boisterous singing stirred the emotions of the lovesick once again. Unlike the dim bars of the past, this one used a cold, water-blue hue to exude an exotic atmosphere.

Wang Kai looked at Nick Fury and said, "I didn't expect you to actually cash in your favor." Indeed, Lorelei was not his bottom line. If he wanted to study Asgardians, there were other options; it wasn't a big deal. If Nick Fury insisted on the trade, he wouldn't refuse.

Despite the complaints, the expressions of the many Englishmen present softened a little, and the atmosphere eased significantly.

In the Palace of King Yama, at the Bridge of Helplessness, I hope not to run into them—that child who never had the chance to be born, and the man I have always loved so deeply. If I cannot see them, I will not feel pain, I will not miss them, and I will not be reluctant to let go.

According to Ling Yang, even if the cave was warm and humid, and the walls blocked the snow and cold air from outside, allowing the interior to stay as warm as spring all year round, it was impossible for a clear-cut boundary to form at the cave entrance—with flowers blooming inside, while winter raged just beyond the line.

True Person Yuyang let out a roar, his hair and beard dancing, his robes flapping as he fought with all his might to resist the attack of the Supreme Order. Behind him, the spiritual energy of the entire Mount Qingcheng gathered into dragon-shaped streams, pouring into his body—this was the power of the Qingcheng dragon veins.

A master of Internal Force has incredibly keen pores; they can capture the slightest movement and respond with agility.

Returning from the mayor's office, Tian Chuan felt the situation was grave. Zang Nan was definitely targeting Zhao Yuqing. Could this newly established couple withstand the shockwave of Zang Nan’s arrival?

Beiyu Wujiang comforted himself and gave himself orders, driving himself to keep moving forward. The swamps in the dead of night were filled with deep, toxic miasma! He had to keep moving, never stop. Eventually, his weary eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and he lost consciousness completely.

Xiao Xun reached out to tightly grip the hand Tabo Shao had hanging at his side, leaning gently against his shoulder and closing his eyes to savor the tranquility of the moment.

But now it was severely wounded, and I held a sharp weapon. As the wound opened, I knew I was halfway to success.

"We can only pray that they are protected by good fortune, and pray that Qingfeng Youyuan and Luohua Yousheng can arrive in time!" Chan Master Yizhan sighed helplessly.

This miraculous scene stunned everyone. Every other time Moye had an episode, it was earth-shattering and required a constant rotation of people to handle; how was he better just like that?

"The old man's eyes!" I saw that the old man’s eye sockets were like hollow pits, the blood already dry, as if his eyes had been gouged out not long ago! Seeing this, Lan Xin felt a surge of shame. Yet, at this critical juncture, she was completely helpless.

But this time, Chen Xuan didn't need to lift a finger; the other registered disciples had already given the slow-witted fellow a sound beating.

Ruonan, of the Heavenly Sequence, followed the rhythm of the crowd, dancing mechanically. She used a look of avoidance to mask her jealousy and panic, chatting mindlessly with those around her about trivialities to distract herself, keeping her gaze firmly away from the direction of the Qilong Sea.

Shen Yu could only stabilize Shen Mei for now, but in her heart, she had already decided that Shen Mei must enter the palace. As for how to make her let go of Zhang Xu and enter the palace with peace of mind, she would have to think it over carefully.

"Where should I send it? To whom?" Lu Bu asked, sensing that this bundle must hold immense significance for Diaochan.

Only then did Yue Longcheng let out a long sigh, as if talking to himself, and whispered, "This Xie fellow's martial arts are truly strange." With this single move, a sense of awe toward the Sword God had been indelibly etched into Yue Longcheng's heart, though he remained stubborn in his words.
