Chapter 60

This left Gao Siqi in a dilemma, unsure whether to dispatch scouts or not. Consequently, upon entering the borders of Shandong, his anxiety grew even more pronounced, to the extent that the skin around his eyes became visibly swollen. Yet he knew he had to persevere; once they passed Shandong and entered the territory of the Southern Zhili, the influence of the imperial secret police and the military garrison would surge again thanks to the collection of commercial taxes.

At this thought, a vibrant and energetic smile actually bloomed across Tam's chubby, toad-like face, secretly earning the silent admiration of Sage Fukasaku.

The match between Ejirou Nitchuu and Takeshi Momoshiro captured the attention of countless individuals, naturally drawing the vast majority of the spectators to watch it live.

"Who are you? Why are you destroying our sacrificial ritual?" Holding his mutilated, lingering corpse, the cult leader shrieked with a frenzied demeanor, leaving it uncertain whether his outburst stemmed from genuine faith in the evil deity or sheer terror of death.

After much deliberation, Bai Luo concluded that this matter likely required intervention from the Heavenly Court; if Sun Wukong and his companions wished to restore their celestial powers, returning to the Heavenly Court was essential.

Nie Jin could no longer maintain his grip on the Shovel of Light. With a single release of his hands, the implement was driven deep into the earth by Du Qianjun's palm strike, producing a thunderous boom amidst a billowing cloud of dust and smoke.

After the old lady seated herself, she continued to express her gratitude to me over and over again. I told her there was no need, but right at that moment, I noticed a black mark on her neck, one that closely resembled a birthmark.

However, when Feng Jun discovered that a massive cargo ship fully loaded with grain sailing on the high seas was actually flying the American flag, he immediately changed his mind. Why bother knocking out the crew? He could simply transport the entire cargo ship directly into his smartphone dimension.

When he left, he had laid such a solid foundation; if Luohua could not even manage Earth at present, it would be utterly disappointing.

It was not until the following day that I slowly regained consciousness. Yet upon looking around, I discovered that Yuan Lei was unexpectedly gone, and there was no telling where she might have wandered off to.

Tang Xiaoxiao had no idea what kind of conflict had occurred back then, but since the person was introduced by Elder Huang now, she had to show the old man some respect. Seeing that Li Chao seemed incapable of even putting up a hypocritical facade, she had to step in and handle it herself.

The steel needle was blocked by the shield, instantly producing a sharp, piercing sound of metallic impact.

"What Tenth Stage Mountain? What protagonist of destiny?" Lord Zuo Yao stared blankly at Lu Yun, asking with utter bewilderment.

Upon returning to the Herb Gathering Hall, Chief Hall Master Zhou retrieved one of the Great Nourishment Pills provided by Luo Hao, used a fingernail to scrape off a tiny bit of the medicinal core, and pressed it against his tongue to taste.

The elderly Daoist priest Qing Kong sensed nothing unusual, but Luo Qian perceived someone's intense malice with crystal clarity.

Luo Feng walked over to the window, chanted an incantation, and reached out toward the sunlight. With a clasp of his hand, as if catching something, he threw it onto a wooden chair, which instantly burst into flames. Startled, Ye Zhongyue snapped back to his senses only to find that the chair was already more than half burned, and he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to extinguish the fire.

Although Luo Hao had successfully completed the construction of the top-tier formation, frequently drawing upon the power of the supreme treasure, the Ruyi, within such a short timeframe left him feeling mentally and physically exhausted.

To rescue the remaining soldiers, Kangsumi dispatched Tegin's foremost warrior, Bahu, leading five thousand iron cavalry for a rescue mission, intending to simultaneously wipe out the enemy's vanguard force.

"Everything that needed to be arranged has already been arranged. Now we are just waiting for the specific execution. If all goes smoothly, we might even be able to set off a day early," Wang Ping'an said.

"I am only forty-seven years old, thank you very much! Besides, my surname is Shen, you can call me Uncle Shen!" the chief of staff said with a smile.

She walked very slowly, as if bearing the weight of a towering mountain upon her back. Her expression was hollow, her large eyes filled with tears, and it was glaringly obvious that she was weighed down by heavy worries.

Therefore, using the HS129 for dive-bombing had its limitations. If the dive angle was too steep—such as the nearly vertical ninety-degree dive in this instance—and he failed to pull up in time, the bomb might collide with the protruding terrain ahead, and since these bombs were all equipped with impact fuses, they would detonate upon the slightest contact.

Regrettably, it was already too late. Just as his arm had hoisted the flag aloft, an armor-piercing shell came hurtling through the air, striking precisely at the junction where the turret met the hull. It easily pierced the armor and, once inside the vehicle, slammed directly into the ammunition stowage.

Yet while other people performed pole dances with vertical poles, how on earth was one supposed to dance on a horizontal one?

Zhong Jingyun did not make a move immediately; instead, he paused for half a second to observe Duan Yifei's subsequent actions.

As the sky grew faintly bright, the various ghosts and deities began to return one after another. Because the sun was starting to rise, spiritual entities with weaker cultivation had to keep out of the way; otherwise, exposed to the sunlight, their yin energy would dissipate and their souls would be damaged, resulting in a drastic loss of their spiritual power.

Naturally, before being subjected to any forceful treatment, Kato鹰 could not afford to show fear; he naturally had to put on a welcoming facade.

In the initial stages, the radios used by Germany still relied on outdated vacuum tubes, which consumed massive amounts of power, were bulky in size, and complex to operate. Every single tier of communication required switching frequencies, thereby necessitating a dedicated radioman. Germany's five-man tank crew was the most fully staffed in this regard.

"If you can defeat me, the red-armored beast's claws are yours." Gu Hualong finally relented, casually tossing the beast's claws onto the carcass of the red-armored beast.

Lin Qinghou was speechless. It turned out that the old man who married a twenty-eight-year-old at the age of eighty-two had passed away. This imperial concubine was also quite pitiable; nearly every time he saw her, someone in her family died.

The old man clicked his tongue. Over the countless ages, he had witnessed too many figures pass through this place—some experiencing hardship, some pain, some perseverance, and some despair—yet he had never laid eyes on a youth so utterly at ease.

"Big cities really are different; even the patrol officers are this enthusiastic." After uttering his exclamation of awe, Hua Ye swiftly proceeded along the main avenue.

This time, even Zhou Yanchang burst into hearty laughter. Having taught so many students, his sole ambition in life was to teach one who would attain the title of top imperial scholar.

Finally, that promoted young commander of the Mars family, after pondering for a long time, began to take action.

He rapidly bound these unconscious individuals with ropes, then sat cross-legged before them in meditation, assuming the guise of an otherworldly master of the Dao.

Since Old Madame Su had already spoken her mind, Madam Jia could do nothing to stop Shen Wangshu either, and could only release a sigh as she looked at her.

"Bah! Do whatever you please, whether you want to kill or dismember me!" Keli spat a glob of blood-tinged saliva toward Xiao Mo, which landed squarely on Xiao Mo's boot. Xiao Mo did not dodge, nor did his expression flicker in the slightest. After giving Keli a thorough, piercing look, he turned and walked away. Several personal guards hauled Keli to his feet and followed in Xiao Mo's wake.

Initially, however, they should not charge fees; they would let the review platform subsidize the costs, with the website covering the price difference resulting from the discounts.

Modern warfare involved too many variables. One side might hold a top-spec M16 while the other wielded an AK, yet victories and defeats would still be shared. Bullets were merciless; a hit meant elimination, regardless of any disparity in combat prowess.
