Volume 1, Chapter 26: The Methods of the Night Watchman

"Did you give the patient something they shouldn't have eaten without authorization?" the doctor asked with a stern expression.

If he could strip the Demon Sect of its left and right wings in one fell swoop, would he still have to worry about failing to become the next sect leader?

"Don't be impatient; the Demon Emperor would never agree to such a thing so casually," Morgana said with a light chuckle. As she spoke, her fingers danced in the air, contemplating whether to use her demonic power to turn Liu Xuzhi into a puppet or a mindless beast that lived only for blood.

As the words fell, Chu Wangjun fell into deep thought. This entrance was not recorded within the sea of consciousness of the Peerless Demon Lord. If he were to spend time traveling there only to find that even more time was required to resolve the troubles of the Five-Direction Barrier City, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

He Wuming and Niu Zongyao were in no danger dealing with the two strongmen. Having been cautioned by him, they were merely toying with their opponents now. The two strongmen lacked stamina and were already panting heavily.

Although Zhao Xi did not know what this masked man intended to do, out of trust, she ultimately said nothing more.

Li Jin paused, casting a complex glance at him before helping An Ruhui toward the guest room on the second floor.

Who ever heard of accepting a disciple who possessed greater strength than oneself?

He gazed at the ice mountain that rose into the clouds, the seat of the Profound Ice Sect, and watched the disciples of the sect as they soared into the sky from time to time.

Ge Qing complained to her mother, saying that Song Chongfeng wouldn't even let her sleep in the master bedroom and that her mother-in-law gave her cold looks; she feared that getting pregnant was out of the question for the time being.

Shuimo finished her chores and left, but she made a point of leaving the candle behind, keeping the room brightly lit.

"If that's really the case, then I'll give it a try!" Shen Feng said, using his divine sense to probe the inner thoughts of the "Nightmare."

Perhaps only Xuan Yuanmu dared to speak to Xuan Yuanmubai in such a manner. Everyone else was invariably respectful in his presence; even the patriarchs of other reclusive families were required to show him the utmost deference, for the power of the Xuan Yuan family was beyond anything the other reclusive families could match.

Planting a gentle kiss on her face, Shi Zichen held Su Momo and tucked her into her own bed before returning to his own room to sleep.

Qin Susu sighed lightly, shook her head, and watched the direction he had departed, remaining silent for a long time.

The recent tournament schedule had been too dense, and Chen Long had not seen Yang Ershi for many days. Anything that came up was handled over the phone; there had been no opportunity to meet in person.

"Why not! Let's begin!" Since Orange Sazi had already revealed so many secrets to Xu Hong, it was because he already considered Xu Hong a dead man. How could he refuse the challenge? At this moment, the energy fluctuations around Orange Sazi climbed to their peak, his battle intent soaring.

"But she..." Xu Xian'er wanted to speak, but she was left frozen in place by Baili Cangming's next words.

Suddenly, the cabin light of the car behind them flickered! The hearts of Du Yusheng and Yuan Shanbao tightened. In the rearview mirror, under the milky yellow glow of that car, Wang Yachiao grinned at them, his smile inscrutable.

"You go first!" Seeing that the leader walked with a steady gait and was clearly a person of great martial skill, Huo Chen no longer cared about Mu Wanqing and immediately engaged the leader in combat.

The moment Uesugi Boying crashed to the ground at high speed, a massive crater was gouged into the earth, and his body was swallowed by the pit.

People from the Brothers Alliance? These guys definitely weren't here for a mission; they were likely gunning for him.

This divine light descended instantly from the stars beyond the realm, enveloping the soul of Feng Hanxu. The gates of the Investiture of the Gods could not shake this divine light in the slightest.

"No, I, Shadow Blade, am willing to swear loyalty to you, Lord Realm Master, unto death!" Shadow Blade prostrated himself on the ground, no longer daring to show even the slightest trace of resentment.

In the story, during the exam between Midoriya Izuku and Bakugo Katsuki, Bakugo was taken down by All Might. Midoriya Izuku retracted his foot just as it was about to step out of the exit, and fueled by his blind worship of All Might and his own lack of self-confidence, he turned back to strike All Might with a straight punch.

To tell the truth, this was the first time Tang Rao had ever encountered someone with such a stubborn nature as Tang Guanghui, who would rather die than give in. It was best to keep this fellow around; he might become an impressive character in the future.

This statement caused a stir; many people's expressions turned uneasy. In their increasingly panicked eyes, it seemed as if Chen Qingdi were the true Great Demon, and the Fearless Lion was merely a supporting act.

"Damn it!" Malone could have dodged, but he was forced to carry a heavy M60 machine gun, which made his movements far too clumsy.

World stepped forward to touch it, but there was nothing there. If it hadn't appeared right before her eyes, and if she hadn't been certain that no one had touched it, she would have assumed the box had been handled by someone else. Shortly after she made contact, the blood-red box slowly faded away.

The man pointed at the items inside the display case, his expression one of absolute determination to obtain them.

Nan Gongnayue spoke with a bitter expression. She knew how much Sendo Ayase hated her betrayal, but she truly could not tolerate the fulfillment of her wish.
