Chapter 25: Four Kilometers, the Line of Death

After finishing the meal, everything was gathered into a bucket and casually tossed outside—the lingering smell would be too much if left in the room. The air conditioner was set to external circulation, expelling some of the stale air from inside. After washing his face, he sank into the sofa and scrolled through the latest news on his phone.

The first headline was about Hangsu City—disaster had struck. At noon today, the nuclear power station...

Nie Li gently brushed his hand over the Autumn Rain Blade. After days spent together, he felt a resonance with it. All things under heaven possess spirit, as does the Blood Moon, though the Autumn Rain Blade falls short by comparison. Thus, he must nurture it slowly.

“Yes,” the two disciples replied respectfully, regardless of their inner thoughts. They bowed and withdrew.

“Doctor, thank you for your hard work. Are there still nurses inside tidying up? They’re still busy even now,” Man Jun asked gently.

Golden light shimmered over his skin as Odin’s power swiftly absorbed the holy light within the Spear of Victory.

Zhou Fan shoved the twenty thousand yuan he’d snatched from Baldy—as well as a bank card—into the hands of the teppanyaki stall owner.

Thinking about it, I could only flex my already sore wrists, preparing to use the Thunder Mace to buy some time later.

Yet when he purposefully removed the copper bell from my neck, I was consumed with anxiety, and my heart sank into despair.

Nie Li observed her carefully; he couldn’t tell who she truly was. Before the others in Tianyin Valley, she was the gentle senior sister; before outsiders, the fierce protector; and with him, she wore yet another face.

Liu Yanbo nodded, pulling out a cigarette and about to light it, but seeing Pan Yuyi’s frown beside him, he refrained.

Meanwhile, after the name “Soul Reaper” and its score dominated the big screen for more than ten seconds, the names of other contestants appeared at last—but none could surpass Soul Reaper.

In this world, countless people die each day for myriad reasons. No one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will arrive first.

Yet Morin sensed something strange: in the shadows, evil seemed to lurk.

Koguryo, a powerful state in Liaodong, boasted tens of thousands of armored troops. Though the Tang Dynasty was mighty, it had no reason to create such a formidable enemy out of thin air.

By leveraging the physique of a third-generation super soldier to interface with a king-grade quantum computing system, this shattered the laws governing divine river energy capacity! In theory, it should be impossible—yet it was happening before their eyes, leaving He Xi utterly baffled.

As soon as Lin Fan answered the phone, he heard Qin Lian’s deliberately subdued and trembling voice, clearly filled with fear.

Du Mi slept soundly through the night. When she groggily awoke, she sniffed the air and was startled to find the room filled with the scent of medicine—only then did she realize she was no longer in the Jiang residence.

“No! I absolutely will not compromise!” Qin Wenwan bit her lip so hard her lips turned pale.

After all, when it comes to food, if someone goes unwillingly and messes with it, it could be fatal.

But if they abandoned their horses, those defenseless creatures would surely become prey for the monsters or wild beasts here. When the time came to return, it would be troublesome.

The siege of Han Yu had lasted more than ten days. At first, Han Yu tried to break out, but after several failed attempts, he grew quiet. The Qi army soldiers knew Han Yu hadn’t brought much food and figured he must be starving, so they began to relax their vigilance.

Lin Wei suddenly noticed a new entry under his innate talents: “Immortal Body.”

Then, he slowly lowered his gaze to the sea below. Just as a bright flash of lightning illuminated his vision, he saw, beneath the waves, a gigantic shadow directly beneath him—a sea monster!
