Chapter 84

Leian stared at her in a daze, as though too startled to react, his face still blank with shock.

So last night he had not kept watch over her sleep because he had been sorting all this out? And there was so much of it! At once she had the uncanny feeling of being dropped into a sea of endless drills and exam papers.

“This one’s a deep, blood-red color—could it be the skill of some legendary master of the past? If I could draw this skill, it would be perfect!” Li Tuanjie said, peering closely.

Li Zheng had become her inheritor, an utterly pure, unadulterated heir. No matter how the institute tested him, the conclusion remained the same.

Although the dragon roar Xiao Yu simulated with the magic array was nothing but lip-synced imitation, he had still followed the advice of the Mafa Sorcerer and the others by using five milliliters of the Crimson Dragon’s blood.

The room he guarded was set into the wall along the corridor, with floor-to-ceiling windows that were transparent from the inside yet looked no different from an ordinary wall from the outside, allowing him to keep perfect watch over any creature or disturbance passing through the hall.

Mao Zhiqiang said nothing more after that. My mood was somewhat heavy, and I no longer wished to speak with him. Seeing him sitting quietly, I thought that was fine too, so I emptied my mind as well and sat there blankly, staring ahead.

“What a pity!” A faint sigh echoed deep within the imperial palace, and at once a series of orders began to be issued.

As Luo Tianwang approached the retriever, the dog immediately became wary, a low growl rumbling in its throat to warn him not to come closer.

And Fang Hao’s appearance was undoubtedly the ray of hope he had been waiting for. As the plan unfolded step by step, everything proceeded exactly as Meng Tian had envisioned.

“Did I ever say you talk too much? Men who talk too much are annoying.” She suddenly realized she rather missed Xuan Yuan Qi Mo’s former coldness.

Wang Bao and, burning with rage, staggered back from outside, only to find that his own room was pitch-black.

Just then, he would not have asked such a question so suddenly unless he had sensed something. Otherwise, he would not have called him so late at night, and by early the next morning he would not have come to his office to find him.

When Long Ao arrived at another battlefield, the Dragon Squad was already at a disadvantage. The one leading the attack against the foreigners was an elder of the Dragon Squad whom Long Ao had once met, along with several younger men whom he had seen before as well.

A low cry rang out. The Angel Sovereign raised a hand, and a sheet of pure white flame instantly spread outward, engulfing everyone in an instant.

“Ma’am, what’s wrong?” Magpie rushed over to support her, then helped pat her back to ease her breathing.

The development of the Cold Corporation and all its methods were just like Leng Mu Chen’s own style: ruthless and vicious, with an uncanny precision in judging everything. Any project it invested in, the biggest winner was always the Cold Corporation.

At dawn the next day, the battle standard of the Chu army was already flying high over Zigui. After a night of fierce fighting, Li Jingwei had died in battle, Gao Baorong, Sun Guangxian, and Liu Fu had surrendered, and both the imperial troops and the Guizhou garrison had suffered casualties on a massive scale.

“Since you know, and since you refuse to speak, then settle it yourself. I’ll consider it a shred of dignity left to you.” Long Ao finished and turned away, no longer looking at him.

The march of more than thirty thousand men had already passed through the valley. At this moment they might already be continuing onward beyond the mountains, while on the slope, the battle before their eyes still raged on.

One had to know that Lin Feng had always been a walking disaster. Wherever he went, trouble followed. If he got involved here as well, a third world war would surely break out.

The proof was that even while Noah was still retreating at full speed, the Great Sage had already steadied himself atop the somersault cloud, then shot forward again like a meteor, hurtling toward Noah with astonishing speed.

And against such an opponent, one against whom even Makarov, Gildarts, and Laxus could all confidently claim victory at the Saint Ten level, Noah knew that if he went all out, bringing him down would not take very long.

On this point, Noah had no doubt at all, having already witnessed the astonishing appetite for gossip among the students of King’s Academy.

What shocked Bai Qi most was that, from the dense three-inch glow surrounding every soldier in the group, this entire force was made up of warriors of level seven or higher.

To avoid letting the night grow long and dreams become troublesome, he naturally had no intention of toying with Lee Sang-hyuk. So after landing his Q, he instantly activated the second stage of Q and came flying in with a kick.

As for what the Dragon Empress had done, Aryan could do nothing about it. After all, he had already signed the contract; even if he wanted to reason with the Dragon Empress now, it would be impossible. Besides, she had merely extracted a few words from Semiramis, and had not directly killed the one who had used poison to control members of her clan. That alone was already fairly restrained.

At the same time, counting the two previous basic attacks, Uzi’s E skill not only pinned the enemy Jinx to the wall, but also triggered a three-hit burst of damage.

Robin explained that long ago, when the currency system of the Dragon Kingdom was being handled, an account for a security company had been opened in the name of the Straw Hat crew.

Blue’s mother naturally knew about Blue Snow’s vomiting. Seeing her come back so delighted at this hour, it was obvious something had happened, but she still wanted to let Blue Snow announce the good news herself, so she did not expose it.

Mao Qiqi sat back down in her chair and looked at Wang Luo, who was rubbing his shoulders and neck, her gaze sharp.

Chen Qingya also showed a look of surprise. Clearly, this judge’s frantic rush over was just like an ancient emperor summoning a court official.

Because they were all long-familiar old rivals, and neither side had made any personnel changes, the moment the match began neither Rongzhong nor Waigao showed the slightest intention of probing. From the very start, they went straight for the R key and opened with their ultimates, clashing head-on without hesitation.

“Look at this bruise. Doesn’t it seem strange?” Only then did Mao Qiqi notice how unusual the bruise really was.
