Volume 1, Chapter 66: Women Can Be Just as Good as Men

"I've heard that Chu Han is a recently rising star, and his strength is truly no joke."

Nie Xueyi was not to be outdone either, her figure weaving through the enemies like a phantom. The short blade in her hand flashed with a cold light, continuously striking at their weak points. Her movements were agile, and every attack was impeccably precise, leaving numerous passersby in awe:
"That martial heroine's skills are simply marvelous. Truly, women are no less inferior to men."

Just as the three of them were locked in fierce combat with Yun Feiyang, another powerful aura emanated from afar. Sensing it acutely, Chu Han's expression shifted drastically as he shouted aloud, "Retreat quickly! A stronger enemy is approaching!"

Realizing the situation was turning unfavorable, Yun Feiyang temporarily halted his attacks as well...

Assuming it was Nobuo Takeda who had returned, and harboring the intent to mock and tease him, Zhou Tian had his bodyguard open the dormitory door. To his surprise, standing outside was a Caucasian foreigner whom he did not recognize at all.

The moment she pushed open the dormitory door, she was instantly repelled by the pungent, overwhelming fragrance of floral toilet water wafting through the room. Hastily throwing the door wide open, she sneezed twice in succession, jolting He Qing awake from her sleep.

With eight tentacles of varying lengths writhing about, Ozumat attempted to increase the distance between itself and the Paladin.

The Chen family's industrial empire possessed an extensive scope, ranging from heavy industry to people's livelihoods, with partners across every conceivable trade and profession. Since ancient times, wealth and political power have been inextricably linked; given such a vast and influential household, it was simply impossible for them not to have a massive faction of political party backers at the top.

Knowing he would have to drive back shortly, Jin Xueping did not push everyone to drink alcohol. Instead, they simply enjoyed a casual meal and chatted amongst themselves.

Watching the retreating figure of Chen Gang as he sprinted away, Sun Meng finally and bitterly admitted to herself that she had lost after all.

Witnessing the legendary trio of birds might fill a Trainer with pleasant surprise, and encountering Lugia might inspire awe, but running into this fiercely ferocious Pokémon before their eyes could likely evoke nothing other than sheer terror.

"Splendid. That will save us a great deal of trouble. Please place the barrier right here," Vandar indicated the floor, which was bathed in a column of silver light cascading from overhead.

"You had this planned all along?" The Orc Chieftain looked at Benny, his blue eyes resembling those of an Elf rather than an Orc. It was said that among all the Orcs, he was the only one possessing blue eyes.

The very outcome he feared most had finally materialized: another second-generation scion with a background comparable to his own had entered the fray. Under identical conditions, Zhou Tian would certainly refuse to align with him.

"Furthermore, we cannot casually let an amateur take such risks. Bomb disposal is still a job that must be left to professionals," the captain of the riot squad added.

It was an established and undeniable fact that the wealthy landowner's household had suffered the revenge of the Red Sleeves. Yet why had the local authorities never sought out Old Man Sun to verify the details, and why had Old Man Sun remained completely unharmed?

Lü He exerted a sudden, fierce burst of strength, and her five fingers—sharp as daggers—left several bloody gouges in Qin'er's neck! The gushing blood obscured Qin'er's features, her dark hair cascading loosely around her. As the green claws relaxed, her lifeless body collapsed limply to the ground.

"Can we set off on our way now?" Lin Chen nodded, no longer casting a glance at Master He, and spoke directly to Sun Hai.

The young master seated inside the sedan chair was also quite an eccentric character; even though a huge hole had been smashed through the roof of his sedan, he simply burst out laughing.

"Yu Fei, let's go!" Without giving Tian Tian a chance to offer any explanation or speak further, Tian directly helped Yu Fei support each other as they departed.

"Master, it is extremely likely that he is the ultimate mastermind behind that entire conspiracy!" Pausing for a moment as if mustering immense resolve, the Second Elder finally uttered these words.

Yet what she said was hardly groundless fabrication; after recovering, her strength had indeed grown. Having ingested the Snake King's Gallbladder, her true internal energy had advanced significantly, bringing her to the very threshold of condensing her Yuan Mansion.

The Third Heavenly Tier was the realm where vital energy surged toward the nine firmaments; every drop of true liquid within one's body boiled, and the major acupoints throughout the frame were all breached. The primal energy nourished every meridian and aperture, cleansing the marrow and tempering the physical form until one's aura soared to the highest heavens.

At this juncture, with the battle of dragons unfolding, the guests could no longer remain seated. They scrambled to their feet, fleeing in all directions to find shelter and protective cover, while several Great Saints soared airborne, eager to catch a glimpse of the celestial beings' majestic demeanor.

So utterly engrossed was she that Old Madam Li failed to even notice Li Nanjun and Li Mingchen appearing right behind her.

And now, Fu Yiming had explicitly proposed offering her a home—a home that would grant her a true sense of belonging.

If he managed to clear and open up this seventh meridian after some time, then even a practitioner at the peak of the Star Emperor Realm would find it far from easy to inflict harm upon his physical body.

Wang Deshatian tilted his head slightly, shifting the longsword in his hand from a vertical stance to a horizontal one by pressing the tip downward. While evading Xie Fan's swordplay, he executed a move known as "The Long Serpent Darts from its Cave," thrusting directly toward Xie Fan's chest and smoothly turning defense into offense.

In truth, Lan Wuyou had to muster every ounce of her courage simply to dial that sequence of numbers she had long since committed to memory.

Rounding a corner ahead, the sight that met Xie Fan's eyes was so astonishing that even his naturally composed disposition nearly caused him to lose his composure.

At the age of ten, the two of them caught the eye of a high-ranking figure within the Mercenary Alliance, and consequently joined the alliance together.

Realizing that it was clearly too late for Nan Xiyue to escape the area, she had no choice but to retreat back into the room and pull the door shut behind her.

Naturally, with the opening of the new district, every player's level was extremely low, and even the highest-ranked player, Moyan Qixing, had only reached level 85.

"...I have no objection to you wanting to kill someone, but must you really trouble yourself with extra complications before we leave?" Shimizu Reiko possessed a touch of a perfectionist's inherent flaw, and found herself rather critical of Kira Yoshikage's actions.

"There is no help for it. Since the movement paths of these two men happened to intersect, it is simply heaven's divine decree for me to take action~" Kira Yoshikage chuckled softly.

He had no intention of using it upon himself; instead, he planned to apply it to this colossal boulder—or more precisely, to this talismanic seal, allowing it to serve as an "energy source" to sustain the warding spell of exorcism.

Su Tong withdrew her gaze. Wishing to prevent her classmates from assuming any lingering connection between them, she swept her eyes across the entire classroom once more before lowering her head again, dedicating her undivided focus to her practice problems.

Seeing the trembling earth and watching Wei Kai charging toward him from beneath the ground, Liu Jun let out a cold snort, raised his hand, and brought it down in a series of sweeping strikes.

The lightning bolt, no thicker than a finger, actually shattered his opponent's fist-sized bolt of lightning. Moreover, after piercing through the adversary's attack, that slender bolt of lightning surged toward Wei Guang, sending him instantly flying backward.

Wei Kai pushed the Eternal Scripture to its absolute limit, unleashing blows directed straight at Liu Jun's vital points, yet Liu Jun gracefully evaded every single one of them.

Apart from Liufeng Lian and Wuxin, none of the other physicians who had taken her pulse were able to detect the presence of the child. She knew that because the Love Gu was lodged within her heart, it effectively prevented anyone from discovering that she had long since been pregnant.

Gazing at Liu Jun—a man dressed in an ordinary black suit who had effortlessly slaughtered multiple individuals within the span of a few breaths—they felt their hearts freeze with dread. If they were to continue resisting, total annihilation was their only destiny. Their highest current realm of cultivation was merely the Dao-Entering stage, which, before Liu Jun, was as fragile and easily shattered as tofu.
