Volume One, Chapter 22: A Remarkable Recovery

"Old brother, you had better bandage that wound, otherwise, your valor will only be something for your descendants to enjoy." Sitting on a dead horse, Lu Hanqiang advised him with a weary voice.

Helis said to Trunks, "Stay here, I have this handled." Without waiting for Trunks to respond, she flew toward Vegeta.

What puzzled him was that the dozen or so war puppets all discarded their weapons, attempting to restrain him with their bare physical strength alone.

Even though there were partially collapsed buildings available for them to hide in and fight the Ming army—which would have allowed them to inflict casualties—they did not put up such resistance, choosing only to retreat blindly and continuously.

At this moment, the eight men in the front of the western sector had just run past and missed this scene, but the old man trailing at the very back saw it; his eyes bulged, his pupils contracted, and he was terrified to the extreme. He opened his mouth to beg for help, but the next second, a blade of shadow pierced his chest.

"Wait a moment; since the Eternal Dragon has already been summoned, I expect it will be leaving soon," Helis said.

To prepare for this competition, the Heavenly Feather Sect had sent fifteen Spirit Gathering stage cultivators, along with hundreds of late-stage Qi Condensation cultivators. As for the other cultivators, they were either out gaining experience or in seclusion and did not come.

"Who I am with or anything like that... such matters are simply not things I am allowed to consider right now." Even though the man had lost his memory, he could still clearly distinguish certain things.

"Kill!" The Khan of the Cossacks waved his scimitar in a rage, ordering his fifty thousand Cossack cavalry to launch a charge against the Ming cavalry.

For such a decision, even the petty clerks of the county office could receive a hundred taels of silver—a gain they could not secure even after two years of sucking the marrow from the bones of the people while risking their reputations. Thus, these men, tasked with safeguarding the money and grain for the gentry, cheered and rejoiced at having received this most glorious mission.

"There must be some hidden mystery here, let's look again." Zheng Chen did not enter immediately, his gaze wandering around.

"As long as you are obedient and don't do anything excessive, I will trust you," Ling Feng sighed and said.

"Oh, if you guys aren't going to eat, then I'll start; you're all so dawdling!" Shen Haoying muttered, then reached for the fish head of the braised fish without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

He had originally thought that once this token was produced, the Turks would surely submit obediently, but he had miscalculated this time. He shouted several times, but no one paid him any mind. Not only that, but two assassins rushed in from the side, and without a word, they raised their scimitars and hacked at his head and face.

"Let's go, drive me back to Red Flag Town!" Zhi Qiang patted Dagang on the shoulder and stepped down the stairs.

On the other side, the fleeing Baldy Wang, having been hit by two bricks and bleeding profusely, found a secluded spot and dialed the mysterious person's number.

"Hmph, a mere beast dares to act so insolently!" The middle-aged man sneered when he saw a demonic beast appear. He had long noticed that the beast was extraordinary; although he couldn't discern its cultivation level, it was at least at the Martial Venerable level, but he didn't take it to heart.

When he reached a stone tablet, Qin Yu, who had been walking with a spring in his step, suddenly froze. Looking at the name at the very top of the tablet, he was dumbfounded.

Regardless, the size of this tiger was truly too immense, far beyond the imagination of the two children. Every time the tiger used its large claws to rake at the tree roots, perhaps due to a psychological effect, the two children felt as if the great tree were swaying.

"Sword Ancestor?" Zheng Chen's brows furrowed slightly. He knew of this level, but he also understood that this level was not something just any ninth-rank Sword Venerable could reach. For instance, Zheng Kui, even though he had remained at the ninth-rank Sword Venerable level for hundreds of years, had still failed to step into the realm of a Sword Ancestor.

The site of the Heavenly Connection Sect's mountain gate at the foot of the mountain was now quite imposing. After passing through a martial arts training square ten miles wide and long, one reached the mountain gate of the sect.

He had grown up by the side of Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia since childhood. The consort was short-lived, and the position of Empress had never even had a chance to warm up for her.

"Then Liang Lei..." Yu Silan originally wanted to ask what to do about Liang Lei, but she knew that asking Qi Xiuyuan wouldn't yield any results.

In an instant, there were two stunning beauties sitting on either side of Liu Huaidong, sandwiching him in the middle, looking very much like they were about to wrap him up like a dumpling.

Shu Wang's reaction pleasantly surprised Mu Jingge. He opened his eyes wide almost immediately, and they lit up instantly, as if reflecting the stars.

"Alright, understood! Hey, move thirty units of the army here to focus on defense..." Lin Guan replied briefly before continuing to patrol the deployment of the defensive line.

Suddenly, Bai Liuli’s face turned as pale as paper. She wasn't blind, and she could naturally see the ruthlessness in the man's eyes. This kind of cruelty was different from a disguise; it clearly radiated from the depths of his bones.

Intuition told him that that thing was Chu Tianxiong's final trump card. However, Liu Chaoyang was curious: now that he had beaten Fatty Chu to this state, was he going to use that thing on him, or was he determined to save it to deal with his cousin?

An Sheng's hair was frizzy, her makeup was smeared messily all over her face, and combined with her tearless, weeping expression, she looked quite terrifying.

After the two companies merged, the original MK Company became the headquarters of MQ Company, while the Qin Group became a subsidiary of MQ Company. The two companies maintained a superior-subordinate relationship, but their management models and accounting methods remained relatively independent, almost no different from before.
