Chapter 65: Dark clouds weigh over the city, threatening to crush it (Part V)
Although the technological levels were comparable, and there was no gap in the knowledge possessed by individuals on both sides, Tianlin could never win the war within the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, one thousand kilometers away in the waters of the eastern coast of North Africa, a new battleship decisive battle had begun. The battleship formation of the Zhoutian Alliance desperately blocked the southward-bound fleet of Wanmingstan, while simultaneously opening fire across multiple fronts in the Indian Ocean. White nuclear mushroom clouds continuously blossomed over the ocean.
Nie Xin nodded and thanked the boss, but after they left, the boss gestured to several strong men. Each of them armed with sharp daggers and given instructions by the boss, they vanished into the streets.
At this moment, Guchensha was still in a distant place, observing the changes of Zhouyang within the Nine Profound Universe. He did this deliberately: neither allowing the Old World to control Zhouyang, nor seizing control of him himself, thereby detaching himself from both paths of change to see what realm he could grow into.
It was not easy for ancients to adapt to modern life, and Qin An had no intention of explaining anything to them. He simply let them slowly experience and comprehend the world themselves; perhaps one day, they would understand everything.
This was much like many things in life—everyone understands the principles, yet actually putting them into practice is so agonizingly difficult.
At this moment, Sun Dingchu arrived. Rendi felt as though horns were growing out of his head. Reason told Rendi that he absolutely could not let this fellow off the hook. Yet reason also told him that if he revealed the truth to this colonel, the colonel would undoubtedly deliberate over it, only to eventually let the matter drop with the utmost difficulty.
To Yang Ye, two talisman papers were not particularly precious, but Elder Qian's gesture deeply moved him! Although Elder Qian claimed he would not help him, wasn't this gift of talismans a form of assistance in disguise?
Qin An had once again rushed into such perilous danger for her sake! Why? How was she supposed to face this man whom she had only known for ten days from now on?
"The General is dead! The General is dead... Run!" With someone's panicked cry, the Han soldiers of this section, who had been fighting desperately against the Zhao forces, instantly lost their fighting spirit, collapsing in complete disarray and fleeing in all directions.
Therefore, to increase the mobility of the rescue effort, Jiang Huaiyi divided the twenty thousand rescue troops into four separate units. These four units plunged into the heart of the capital like four sharp daggers, with Jiang Huaiyi personally leading his core direct subordinates toward a certain military district compound.
And so... feeling both chilled and dizzy amidst the rich, sweet fragrance, Bu Piao'er gradually opened her eyes from the fainting spell, returning to consciousness in this world once again.
The next day, Xu Changping was set to leave. Mother Qiao had a very favorable impression of her and bustled about picking some vegetables for her to take along.
"My Lord, you... could it really be you who had them block me and forbid me from entering?" Tong Xuepian asked, looking at Jun Jie with an expression of utter devastation and disbelief.
It was too boring on the carriage, so many people found ways to pass the time. Playing poker was quite common, alongside recreational activities like performances and singing.
Qiao Jianyue did not expect such an intense reaction from her parents, especially her mother, whose body was trembling with fear.
"Splitt!" Two monsters were sliced directly in half from the waist by Qin Yang, their upper and lower bodies separating in a rather absurd manner.
Moreover, due to the influx of massive amounts of otherworldly energy and countless demons, a tiny fraction of the population in this world underwent bloodline mutations, granting them exceptionally high martial arts talent.
Twenty-and-odd minutes later, Du Bian met Grandmaster Ning Zongwu. He wasn't even allowed to enter the mountain gate; instead, Grandmaster Ning directly had Du Bian take his apprenticeship examination at a stone table outside Lotus Temple.
In this dramatic suite of rooms, I experienced separation, divorce, and a severe illness requiring surgery... In life, such occurrences are simply inevitable.
The only one who could possibly help him was Gu Yu, but the relationship between the Fang family and Gu Yu was not as rosy as they imagined.
A deafening roar erupted, instantly deafening everyone present. Under the blinding glare of light, their surroundings turned as bright as day.
Indeed, by evening, Deng Fang instructed the three of them to help guard the southern pass tonight. In truth, however, his real intent lay elsewhere—not for them to guard the southern pass, but to rendezvous with Gu Sanquan's subsequent reinforcements so they wouldn't all stumble into the trap set by the lieutenant.
He first turned his head left and right, his gaze seeming to stretch infinitely far, as if piercing through the inner world to the outside. Then, he shook his head in disappointment, took a few steps forward, and sat down upon a larger fragmented boulder while the golden crown atop his head slowly rose.
Because when the incident occurred, he happened to be monitoring the satellite feeds, yet to his astonishment, he had witnessed such a horrifying scene.
Moreover, since she intended to study those scrawled diagrams in the dead of night, her conscience truly felt a twinge of guilt.
The reason he was so nervous was that the immortal cranes within the Cangyun Sect were not ownerless; they belonged to Elder Yueting of Spirit Sword Peak.
Ye Qianli had previously evaded this question entirely, but now he cupped his chin in a pensive posture.
"Then where could he go?" I told Snoopy to go drink some water, and immediately went down to the basement to look for Green Bean.
However, just when the Sky Desolation Python thought it was facing certain death, a deafening roar rang in its ears, prompting it to open its eyes.
Han Lu looked at the Sky Desolation Python with extremely complex eyes filled with memories, recalling everything that had happened over twenty years ago as if it were yesterday. This Sky Desolation Python had once attacked him, only to be subdued by him in the end; and now, Han Lu had stepped in to save it.
"Stop bragging. I'm a pharmacist too, and concocting medicine is no simple feat," I couldn't help muttering.
"A little over a month ago, our disciples from the Polar Snow Kingdom were teleported into the Black Water Realm of the Northern Kan Trigram in the Divine Palace's Eight Desolations Domain."
In contrast, though Sen Ming wore a grave expression, torrential waves churned within his heart. Even though his clash with Han Lu had lasted merely a fraction of a second, he had already sensed Han Lu's extraordinary prowess.
Meiji nodded, enveloped in purple radiance. Following Han Lu's instructions, she dashed toward the direction of the Heavenly Defect Jade Rabbit. Perhaps that location was relatively the safest; guarded by the Dao Ancestor-realm Heavenly Defect Jade Rabbit, even those geniuses from earlier would not dare to charge in rashly.
The golden arrow targeted Gildarts' head, as the head was naturally the prime location for scoring critical hits.
Xia Chen and Song Jiahui, sensing the heavy mood weighing upon the couple, took seats on the individual sofas on either side.
