37. The Vegetable Vendor

With all four individuals severely injured and unable to continue fighting, Baili Dengfeng gave a wave of his hand. The sect master tokens and the rings containing the sects' resources on their persons flew into his grasp as if they had sprouted wings.
Hearing this, the martial artists who had quietly gathered around scoffed, looking at Luo Chen as if he were a fool.
"It seems the Angry Dragon Island has also realized that a great war is imminent!" Chen Zheng felt a jolt of alarm as he watched a warship pass by, carrying a dozen soldiers fully armed and radiating a murderous aura.
"However, to say that things haven't changed at all is impossible. Disciple brother, you and the Crown Prince of the Wind Kingdom are sworn brothers, are you not?" Bai Jianyin asked.
After hearing this, Ao Ming asked, "For the Heavenly Emperor to contact us with such divine power, there must be an important matter to discuss. I wonder what it is?" Ao Ming remained quite concerned about the "bright path" that Haotian had previously mentioned.
Just then, a dignified old man with white hair and beard, clad in white robes, walked over from the distance with long strides.
Yet, after all, he was a legendary figure who had been sealed for five hundred years; the sense of intimidation he held over the crowd was not particularly strong.
He had resorted to such a lethal strike from the very start, intending to gravely wound Xiao Yi quickly and capture him alive to extract the secrets of that dragon-slaying technique.
Zhong Yuxuan’s movements suddenly halted, and he immediately descended toward the ground. Within a few breaths, he reached the surface, released Tianmiao, and looked at Ye Zhengfeng with a puzzled expression. As one of his hands began to probe Ye Zhengfeng’s meridians, his brows furrowed deeply.
Mei Ga lay on the wooden couch, inhaling the scent of Su Wu that lingered in the room, thinking that this matter could not be rushed and must be handled slowly.
"Hoo~" I slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "It’s finally over." The pain that had lasted for a full half-month had finally vanished; I truly admired my own perseverance.

"In this operation, not only did the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect refuse to join us in capturing the target, but they also intentionally obstructed us halfway. I truly do not know what the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect is playing at." Ye Ruobang’s expression turned serious as he fell into deep thought.
"Silly girl, why are you crying? Are you not happy to see me?" Lin Yu helped Mu Mengmeng wipe the tears from her face.
King Yama had exhausted all his magical artifacts and spiritual power, yet he could do nothing against Xiao Fei, and had even suffered a loss.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Xiao Fei hurriedly called out to her. If he continued to debate Buddhist doctrines with her, he didn't know how long it would last, and there would be no clear winner.
Under Yang Sen's military orders, the defenders began an effective counter-offensive, and commanders directed their soldiers to dodge enemy fire in time. The counter-attack naturally lacked the intensity of the initial clash. The Japanese troops forcing a crossing saw the defense slacken and began their own charge, storming toward the opposite bank of the river.
I first surveyed the progress of the project. The new wall-mounted display cabinets were all installed, and the custom mobile modular cabinets were being assembled on-site. According to the contract, the term for settling the mid-stage construction payment began once all the cabinets were on-site; it seemed the requirements had been met.
Just as Kage-sa Sadaaki was making his calculated moves within the Ume Agency, Xiao Shan, accompanied by Xie Tian, arrived at the Huang Mansion. As Xiao Shan entered, Huang Jinrong and Li San were drinking tea. Xiao Shan sat down beside them and looked at Huang Jinrong with gratitude.
"Yes, we are travelers from afar. We heard the environment here was beautiful and decided to come for a visit," Xiao Fei said.
Blake was surprised that Rannor could speak directly into his mind, then he tried to do the same, conversing with Rannor through thought.
"Hmph!" Hearing herself addressed as "senior" four times in a row, Zhao Guan felt a surge of displeasure. "In that case..." Her eyes swept over Gu Yu and Gu Yong, her expression turning cold.
Zeng Guofan let out a long breath and stepped toward the city gate, with Li Chendian and his personal guards following closely behind.

After Liu Fan spoke these words, the impression he gave everyone at the banquet was identical to the reaction to Yufuluo’s shocking high-price offer earlier—both were startling and provocative. The difference was that Yufuluo’s was an ultra-high price, while Liu Fan’s was an ultra-low one. Now, it was Yufuluo’s turn to be furious.
When he climbed to 90 meters, he could climb no further, but he refused to give up, wanting to persist. However, the moment he took another step, he fell heavily to the ground, and those above him followed suit.
"Company commander, this is what you wanted. I’ve brought it. Oh, by the way, political instructor, Cao Meng'ang is waiting for you downstairs," a soldier said as he entered.
Chen Yihui lay on the bed, sleeping soundly; either the medicine was too potent or she was truly exhausted today. Huangfu Yichen stroked Chen Yihui's delicate face, a feeling that was beyond compare.
"Don't think that I am fragile right now. Let me tell you, I am fine, perfectly fine." She turned back and shouted at me.
And so, everything unfolded according to the battle plan. To completely eliminate the Great Emperor of Red Flames, the two generals, Dragon-Tiger Demon Lord and Dragon-Lion Demon Lord, were ordered to continue leading twenty thousand tiger-beast demons down the mountain to wage war against him.
Liu Hong said, "Good! I grant this as well!" To a man like Liu Hong, who valued wealth above all else, the tax revenue from Liang Province was mere pocket change for a beggar. Only the spoils of war provided by Liu Fan could satisfy his demands for building palaces and acquiring beauties.
