Volume One, Chapter Ninety-Four: Ambush

The mountains stretched on and on, endless as far as the eye could see. After several more days of flight, Ji Die looked out from afar and saw a line of heaven-splitting abyss appear in his field of vision.

It was a vast gorge a hundred li long, only a dozen li or so across. Beyond it, the green mountains remained lush and alive.

On one side lay Cangzhou; on the other, the Tiannan Continent.

The conspicuous ravine cleaved them cleanly in two.

According to the records in the World Gazetteer, this place had not always had such a gorge. In ages past, Cangzhou and the Tiannan Continent had been one landmass; only after a great war did some peerless powerhouse smash out this canyon, and thus Cangzhou came into being.

These were all wild tales from those scrolls.

Their truth or falsehood was naturally impossible to verify.

Ji Die would not fuss over it.

He was already in his forties, and yet he still kept himself so well. Even the leading stars of the opera houses could not match her skill at preserving youth.

This was indeed a fierce, exhilarating contest. Right from the start, it staged a brilliant spectacle of overtaking and counter-overtaking. Only now, the Spanish fans were somewhat subdued. Their hero had still failed to complete the final pass, and this battle only allowed the German ahead to pull farther away.

While the few of them were on the coast driving dune buggies and frolicking in swimsuits, no one knew where Schumacher had gotten a bucket and a rag from; in front of everyone, he gave Old Ye's dune buggy a seawater bath.

The two of them chatted outside. Xu Maoxian had already no memory left of today's hall meeting, and could only think to himself: what on earth is wrong with Zhu Yanxiu?

Song Haoran, in the Golden Alley Courtyard, was already famous as a gambling degenerate. He never lost a bet, so he was certain that Xu Maoxian would lose today, and lose badly.

Upon arriving here, Feng Qian wasted no words with Tan Ying. He immediately took out two billion spirit crystals and began cultivating.

His bare upper body was covered in streamlined muscles and hard abdominal ridges, filled with explosive strength.

Many eunuchs came over and lifted the embroidered curtain. At that moment, Chu Qiang still had not awakened. It was impossible to tell whether she was in a deep sleep or unconscious. The infant, however, had already stopped crying and lay there quietly.

Within the domain, substance-like killing intent surged and roiled. A colossal blade radiance, entirely milk-white and over several hundred zhang long, materialized across the sky.

He held her in disbelief and forcefully, and in that instant heard nothing else. That horrifying truth seemed almost to crush him utterly, as if even his scalp were about to burst apart.

Bucard, however, had to consider the opinion of the entire world. In particular, in order to maximize publicity for and verify this milestone event, he had invited the global scientific community to maintain round-the-clock, all-angle surveillance over the "thing."

But Morse failed to consider that the money being spent was not Parry's own. The reason Parry had tried so hard to save the club money was precisely because, as general manager, that was his duty. If he could only spend money and not make money, then why would Liverpool still need Parry as general manager?

Such a method was nothing short of astonishing, carrying an overwhelming pressure. Ye Chen ignored everything and, with chaotic light blazing around him, condensed that radiance into a single beam and charged in.

The quasi-king who stood at the head of the Hall of Forbidden Souls spoke. He was a power hidden beneath a black robe, his true face impossible to make out. Only two dim, eerie green flames flickered faintly beneath the hood, like a grim reaper.

Inside Liverpool's locker room, Old Ben and George had just returned from the pre-match press conference when Old Ben immediately gathered the entire squad and addressed the players solemnly.

Not long after, all the information about the tier-six beginner pill, the Revitalizing Pill, surfaced in Ye Chen's mind. He opened his inner space, and streams of light flashed out from within; they were all heavenly materials and earthly treasures, each one at least five or six thousand years old.

Lin Qianyu scarcely dared look into her father's eyes. She nodded, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed so hard that she could barely speak.

Up to this point in the national tournament, Lin Chuangyi had only appeared on the court once for more than ten minutes. In this match, he was finally willing to show himself early. The spectators could at last properly admire the superb skills he had honed overseas.

Ye Chen shot into the sky, because he sensed a sinister aura taking shape. It was absolutely something extraordinary and dreadful.

As the weapon underwent its astonishing transformation, Dugu Qiunue's movement technique also changed drastically from its former direct, decisive, and uncompromising style. It became elusive, insubstantial, ghostlike, and impossible to trace.

Although the two had seemed evenly matched just now, Liu Sandao had a very strong premonition: if Huan Chang had not stepped in to stop it, he would certainly have died beneath Mo Dao's sword, while the purple-robed Mo Dao might not necessarily have died.

After he finished all the superficial work, when Tian Feng went to sleep at night, he entered his own space.

It began with a soft, sorrowful melody, light and lyrical, and listening to it brought about an inexplicable feeling of quiet and comfort.

"Good, good, good. Hurry up and start cooking. We would really like to see how an amateur like you can cook dishes that even several judges will like," Master Chen said to Tian Feng.

Over the next few days, apart from appearing at home punctually for breakfast and dinner each morning and evening, Fang Yan spent all his remaining time buried in the underground cavern, constantly experimenting with how to bring out the power of his telekinesis more effectively.

Rodney's brows furrowed. Although Musashi had said that she would let him leave, she still had not let down her guard. One had to know that, for Musashi, dealing with him would take only one move.

"Araya!"

When Ivan heard Araya's name, his eyes immediately widened. His memory drifted back to the distant past, to the time when he had first arrived in this world and Nelson and Rodney had told him about Araya.

Although this era was still rather poor, with three children around, they could not do without clothes.

Under the night sky, a hand gripped the stone on the riverbank, and then a figure emerged from the water.

There were also clever ones who pooled together to buy one cup, then split it into two portions to drink. Although it was not quite satisfying, at least they had tasted it.

She tried turning it off, and indeed the pale blue panel before her vanished. When she opened it again, it reappeared.

After putting on her shoes, Xu Zijin picked up the vegetable basket and prepared to go out, but just then the telephone rang.

As long as Chen Fang had no improper intentions toward that obnoxious girl Song Qian'er, then even if the girl had some ideas of her own, it would be useless.

Although the original owner's memories also included having entered the city, they were never as vivid as what one saw and experienced with one's own eyes.

"Before you speak, let me remind you: I am about to go to the royal capital to study. I do not know when I will return; it may be half a year, it may be several years, even decades. If what you are about to say is still false and deceitful, I will throw you, fish and all, into the Withered Lotus Pond."

The city lord of this city had not been killed by Si Ma. Rather, some time ago, a plague had broken out in the city, killing many people, and the city lord was among them.

Cheng Jinnian had already been feeling somewhat drowsy, but after hearing his words, he suddenly grew excited and too stirred to sleep.

The sudden task left Li Luo rather bewildered. Afterward, Zhao Yiyun gave him many more instructions, and he memorized them all one by one.

Ji Zhenchuan's brows furrowed again. Before he had time to say anything, Ji Ziliang had already gone out.
