Chapter 219: Temporary Captain, Hengyu-Class Battleship!

Leng Yanran wished for him to stem the spread of the dark energy and to unearth its secrets from within the ranks of the reincarnated, a task that was by no means simple for Li Chang'an.

After all, he was currently no grand figure among the reincarnated, and each of her demands carried an immense, lethal peril.

Thus, rather than indulging in empty, high-minded platitudes, Li Chang'an favored a far more direct approach.

"Keir himself is entirely immune to nuclear weapons, and they wield the Blazing Swords, ranked third among all cutting-edge weapons in the known universe." To Jace's inquiry, Ducao offered a definitive conclusion—one that transcended mere strength, defying any earthly comparison.

Beholding that sinister, unnatural smile, even Aoran, who had slain his own kind countless times without blinking, felt a sudden chill as bright crimson blood cascaded down the piercing, massive talons, yet he withdrew his sharp claws without a change in expression.

The airport bore witness to bitter partings and final farewells every single day; what was so strange about a few tear-stained faces?

His mind made up, Chen Baihu wasted no more time and led Gui Rong and the others inside.

Seeing his second elder brother lower his firearm, Bozai muttered a string of curses, turned on his heel, and led his men away.

"My medicine only takes effect when applied by my own hand; it will do you no good on your own, so it is entirely up to you, Linzi. Furthermore, a patient must not hide from the physician; I am the doctor, not your student, so why should I be forbidden to look, or to touch?" Ling Xiao argued with righteous eloquence.

At Qingshan, the Japanese army under Mōri Hidemoto was heavily besieged by the joint Chinese-Korean forces led by the Ming commander Peng Youde, suffering devastating casualties, and Mōri Hidemoto only narrowly escaped with his life thanks to the timely reinforcements of Asano Yoshinaga and Ōta Kazuyoshi.

"That is inner strength, and I fear it will take you several years of training before you can even perceive its existence," Ling Xiao said.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess will not cease her weeping; could she perhaps be hungry?" Consort Qing said hurriedly, watching the child's relentless tears.

Only war could cause people to perish so meaninglessly, robbing the innocent of their lives when they had committed no wrong whatsoever.

She wished to watch Qingzi fall to her knees before her, to savor the expression of sheer humiliation upon her face from the closest vantage.
