Chapter 50

At this moment, Gao Jiu arrived with the special operations team. The team members possessed fierce firepower and pinpoint marksmanship. Given that the Japanese soldiers had already been largely decimated by the Independent Battalion, the arrival of these formidable fighters meant the remaining invaders were thoroughly annihilated in no time.

However, a succession of towns lay further ahead. Whenever you engage in commerce in the Central Plains and wish to exchange your goods for silk or porcelain, you are required to pay taxes. Otherwise, Yuan Guanshou's army will make you understand the true meaning of the state's machinery of violence.

When Shangguan Yan led the pigeon and appeared in Chanye City, everyone in the city widened their eyes in utter shock.

Witnessing this scene, Bai Feiyu could not help but feel a lingering doubt: could it be that news of the defeat suffered by Xiao Tian, Liu Li, and their companions had not yet reached the commander's ears?

Mike recalled how those soldiers looked upon seeing him—as if they desperately wished their birth mothers had given them a few dozen more legs and a few dozen more pairs of wings to run away faster.

By the later stages, the advantage of bloodlines would no longer be so pronounced, and the ultimate heights they could reach might not necessarily surpass that of Cao Ying.

The Japanese brigade commander had originally assumed that his elite field brigade could easily cross the lines and wipe out those mob-like remnants of the Third Battalion.

"You are courting death!" Lu Yunxiao snatched the corpse and placed it gently on the ground, his face covered in a layer of frost while murderous intent overflowed from his eyes.

Xiang Yufei had nowhere to retreat. An ancient shield materialized before his arm, but the ancient sword was as heavy as a mountain, crashing down with a terrifying edge that instantly cleaved the ancient shield in two.

She gazed at the dozen or so chests on the ground, which were far more lavish than the dowry prepared by her mother's family.

Gains was an inherently diligent man. Having obtained Dai Yue's "promise," he naturally fought with all his might! After successfully slaying a world overlord, he grew impatient to claim Dai Yue as his own.

This was a hard fact; the physical body of this ferocious beast was frighteningly powerful. To say nothing else, the golden scales covering its exterior were comparable to weapons refined by ordinary cultivators, not to mention the mighty divine power contained within its flesh. Only weapons like the Crystal Pagoda could hope to withstand it.

"Indeed, you should have arrived long ago!" A voice rang out from the skies, and then Si Qi saw a figure flying rapidly toward them, unfolding a pair of magnificent wings spanning over a hundred meters wide.

Ying simply could not comprehend Grandpa Li Ming's eccentric way of thinking. Had she not personally driven away or slain numerous assassins from foreign countries, she would never have believed this was real, for to outsiders it seemed utterly unbelievable.

The Song army had only this single method to counter Zhang Hongfan's artillery vessels, and it had indeed proven effective during the previous rear-guard battles, ramming and damaging two cannon ships. Yet what of it? As long as the cannons remained, whichever vessel they were mounted upon would retain their destructive power.

"Mom, Daddy made the bad guys surrender with just one move! That's so awesome!" Lin Miaomiao cheered in a clear, ringing voice.

He must have completely figured out what these materials were, which was why he set them down and watched with a glimmer of anticipation as he waited for the blacksmith to quote a price, ready to pay up alongside Li Ming.

As it turned out, Gryffindor had somehow drawn his wand and held it lightly between his slender fingers, while a red thread radiated from the tip of the wand, stringing the dark wizards together like candied hawthorns.

What Liu Suoxue said was no falsehood. In fact, not only within the palace, but even inside the Gate of Death, when the two of them were engulfed in chaotic mists, Su Xin had secretly urged the Tree of Dao Creation to absorb those chaotic mists.

"Hugo, would you like to buy an owl?" Will asked, his oversized ears twitching.

It all depended on whether he chose to step forward and rescue Weng Zihang or play the coward—though, of course, he might be entirely oblivious to the matter.

The servants were bustling about busily, decorating the house as if preparing for the New Year, all to celebrate her birthday.

The law enforcement robots responsible for penalizing illegal grouping and passive combat in the previous matches whirred as they flew overhead, landed, collected the cube, and handed the anesthetic gun over to Ming Yao.

Although the fairy maidens felt somewhat resentful, knowing that persisting further would only make them a burden, they sighed one after another and employed the "pot-in-heaven" technique to dive into the cauldron.

Once Huai Zhen retreated into her room, tranquility descended upon the space, leaving only the crackling of the fireplace and the steady, shallow breathing of the person fast asleep in the velvet armchair.

"Did I not tell you just moments earlier?" Qin Jiuyu thought to herself that Wei Qingwan's memory was truly atrocious, wondering how she could forget what had just happened in the blink of an eye.

There were far too many intimately entwined foreign couples on the beach, so their pairing did not seem particularly novel. Anyone glancing at them would likely assume: another Oriental mistress belonging to some government official.

Pity that Master Yi had retired from the craft in recent years and rarely brewed tea himself; even with money, acquiring such a tin of tea was exceedingly difficult.

Wei Qingwan had not anticipated that she would cause such a massive commotion. Stirred up by her scene, passersby all turned to look, while occupants of other carriages also lifted their curtains to gaze in this direction.

Her gaze remained fixed on that photograph, watching how attentive the man truly was to Feng Lulu at the table, while a ball of fire raged within her chest.

"Surely not." Even knowing there was no reason for Brother Zhao to deceive him, Jia Sidao still found it somewhat startling.

"Let us hurry and leave as well! If we linger, I fear other demonic experts might arrive," Xiao Yu said with a grave expression.

" Boss, the Marquis has surrendered! Haha, that means we won't have to die here!" At the east gate of Pingyang Prefecture, a defending soldier shouted joyfully to City Gate Officer Xie Dabao.

Jia Sidao pondered whether Li Shiyun had been able to notice the heaviness in Ji Yanran's footsteps right from the beginning simply because she was quite familiar with her.
