Ninety-One: First Kiss

A sharp whistle rang out, and the green longsword behind her instantly turned into a streak of emerald light, shooting toward Xiao Chen. Its fierce sword energy was so suffocating that even the onlookers a hundred paces away felt their breath catch in their throats.

With a thunderous crash, Mo Yu smashed into a huge boulder and shattered it into pieces. He gave a sly, cold laugh and could not even be bothered to get back up.

"Damn you!" cried the scholar in the same unyielding tone, triggering the Secret Sword Stance once more. With a crack, he struck it down from afar.

Shen Shi first froze, then was overcome with delight so great he nearly sprang to his feet. Hastily picking up the black scroll and the candle together, he sat down at the table at once. In the candlelight, following that narrow seam, he slowly unfurled the black scroll.

By contrast, the Endless Sinking Hell was not so easily dealt with. After all, it was an existence connected to the spatial world of Origin. It tore open a vast fissure in the world barrier, linked its entrance to the rift, and then used the cold, dark earth energy of the Endless Sinking Hell to alter the nature of the power at the barrier’s opening, making it impossible for anyone to repair the world barrier.

The tall man surnamed Sima said weakly, "We... were acting under orders. The details inside... we know nothing about..." As he spoke, blood kept streaming from the corners of his mouth, nostrils, and ears.

At the critical moment, the One-Eyed Blade Ghost revealed the full power of a late-stage Spirit Saint. With a fierce slash, each strike manifested a flaming bear, and the force of a single blow sent the two experts reeling back while coughing blood.

At those words, the veteran boys reacted as though someone had splashed them with acid; all at once they howled and leaped to their feet.

Nearby, the Old White Monkey was dumbfounded. He rushed over to stare at this bizarre scene, unable to speak for a long while.

The three envoys behind him took the order and immediately moved, each blocking Xiao Chen’s left, right, and rear. Clang, clang, clang—twelve members of Secret Fragrance also drew their weapons, and in the sunlight their chilling gleam looked all the sharper.

A flood dragon was a transitional form between a python and a true dragon. Evolve another stage beyond that, and it would become a genuine dragon, soaring for ten thousand miles and ruling wind and rain.

It was ready to eat. Ling Feng set the bowls and chopsticks before Shangguan Ruoyue and said with a smile.

"Oh, you don’t need to call him. Landuo is an alien; he doesn’t need to eat at all. Just let him play! Besides, maybe he hasn’t found the crystal stone, and that’s why he’s worried," said Gula.

Thus, the entire White Seagull family had formed a powerful alliance that could not be broken apart. They would utterly destroy any force or person that sought to divide the White Seagull family.

By now, the two had already entered the depths of Doghead Mountain. It had to be said that Qin Yurou’s stamina was excellent, far beyond what Lu You had expected.

If it were the terrifying gu insects of antiquity, then even as larvae, a single one would be enough to devour every spirit herb in Lei Chen’s garden. Moreover, those gu insects had fed on spiritual medicines; as for spirit herbs... they could only be counted as optional snacks.

That was her instinctive thought, yet for some reason she simply could not bring herself to say it. She did not know whether it was an illusion, but tonight the eyes of the person before her were brighter and more dazzling than the stars in the sky.

He absolutely could not allow Xing Feng to be captured by those demon cultivators. Lu You made up his mind and immediately urged the flying boat to plunge downward.

Countless bullets struck it, leaving one deep impact mark after another, while dust and shattered stones from the top of the wall were shaken loose and fell in a steady patter.

"What, you still want to be a hero? It does not matter. Either way, we are beating you today." Though the team leader opposite said this, his lewd gaze never once left He Ling's body.

The guardroom on the left was open. Inside were many surveillance devices, though all of them had been shut off. There was also a brand-new oval cabinet, designed in a very modern style, with a row of buttons on it labeled Food and Medical Supplies. Clearly, this cabinet was the supply point provided by the organizers without a doubt.

Gildas had not yet spoken of his weakness when his eyes gradually began to dim, and black energy was also spreading all around his body.

Tang Meiqin had been somewhat stunned at the time, not knowing exactly what he meant... but later, when she learned he intended to play a prank on Qin Yusheng, she actually agreed with cheerful readiness.

Xue Zao promised, "Leave it to me." He kicked out with flying force and sent Ji Lin flying. Leng Ping and Yu Pengcheng both intercepted nothing but empty air. Xue Zao rolled across the ground and reached the guards beside the royal palace of Xinzhou. The guards in the palace did not ask questions or wait for instructions; spears thrust forward in a frenzy and pinned Xue Zao in the middle.

"Watch me go drag one back first." The Guardian's voice was deep and resonant. As he spoke, he was already carrying his greatsword off to draw the monster over.

"Hmph! If we are fighting, then we are fighting. Let Han Lang know that I am the one who suits him best!" The Ironfeather Azure Eagle also spat out a crude curse.

She was utterly unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain, and merely strolled along as her feet carried her wherever they pleased. Even if she were to march straight up to the Seven-evil Demon Lord, she would not be afraid. This was, of course, unreserved trust. Yet who knew when she might ever show such trust to the person by her side?

The virus developed by Mars this time was precisely the kind that would turn Earthlings into zombies, just as the stories said. Of course, the Martians had their own scheme too: they wanted to capture Earthlings as laborers and slaves, and naturally they would not let all the humans on Earth die off.

Meng Anying was greatly shocked by this. In those cloudy old eyes, light seemed to flare as he pressed, "Yijie, what did you just say? What cave? What skeleton? Your... your shifu's wife..." In his haste, even his usually steady tone turned into a jumble of incoherent words.

Half of these words were to warn Li Yijie, and half were to caution himself. Back then, at the summit of Mount Taihang, if he had not softened at the last moment and considered the lives of the brothers who had struggled alongside him, giving up resistance, then even if there had been more casualties, they would not have failed to bring down Dark Night's Fall. At the very least, they would have kept the Azure Heaven Stronghold from collapsing.

To the Gray Rock Winged Tiger, the moment his domain was unleashed, the human before him, though only a counterfeit immortal, was already a lamb awaiting slaughter. So he did not rush to strike again. Instead, he looked at Hua Sheng within his domain with a mocking smile, wanting to see fear, helplessness, panic, despair, and the expression of one unable to resist.
