Chapter 366: With Qi Imperial Sword, Xiong Zhaolian

The Zuo State offensive was overwhelming, the old servant was shocked, and the others were also dumbfounded. Miss Xiong Hu was almost frightened. Anguo is gloating. Qi Jiguang thought to himself: Zuo Guo has a peerless ninety percent of the popularity, although Chen Haoran is outstanding, he can't beat him. Next to the seat, there were two old men, who were the two guards of Zuo Kingdom, the Phoenix Dance Monster, Liulanfu.

I saw Chen Haoran use light skills and avoid Zuo Guo's tricks everywhere. Miss Xiong Hu said, "Chen Haoran, don't play, get the weapon quickly." Chen Haoran said: "This person had better use a shovel." Zuo Guo was so angry that he exploded, and he hurriedly stirred up his skills and bombarded him, only to see Chen Haoran's eyes glowing red, forcing him to look at his opponent. I saw Zuo Guo's sharp knife wheel tumbling and turning sharply, Chen Haoran actually took the risk of bullying himself into the wheel, and the shovel hit the knife wheel, but he couldn't stop the momentum and approached Chen Haoran in front of the door. The old servant and the others were so frightened that they scattered. When the knife wheel came to Chen Haoran, it suddenly shattered, and it couldn't hurt Chen Haoran. Any weapon has a breaking point, as long as it hits the breaking point, the weapon will be shattered instantly. Zuo Guo retreated, extremely incomprehensible. Zuo Guo shouted demon magic, and Chen Haoran said: "Lonely and unheard, this is the supreme mental method." Suddenly, the old man on the seat said to Zuo Guo: "Childe, take three rounds." I saw a three-wheeled knife wheel flying straight towards Zuoguo. I saw Zuo Guo shouting: "Chen Haoran, your death time has come, this is our family's three-wheel knife wheel." "The power of the three-wheeled knife wheel is close to that of Tai'a and other weapons. The three-round knife wheel is so good that there is no breaking point, Chen Haoran is terrible this time. Zuo Guo, who attacked with three rounds of knife wheels, really doubled his power. Chen Haoran, who attacked with a shovel, fought hard for a few moves, but he was still able to stand on a par. After a few moves, the shovel in Chen Haoran's hand was finally shattered, and Zuo Guo was the eldest son of the Qi family. Martial arts must be powerful, Chen Haoran actively dodged, and his back still had to bloom. When the sharp pain in his back came, he was kicked in the back of the head again. Chen Haoran fell to the ground. Miss Xiong Hu's face was pale, and Qi Jiguang's face sank. Zuo Guo chased and killed frantically, and the wheel was like a torrential rain, and Chen Haoran's right leg was exposed again. Chen Haoran frequently hung colors, and the injury was defeated, which made Chen Haoran angry and attacked, and his right hand suddenly burst out red. At this time, Zuo Guo opened the mountain and broke the mountain with a move, and he had already hit Chen Haoran. And Chen Haoran was like a wounded beast. In the mad rage, he swung his fist at the three rounds of knife wheels, only to see the red mangs burst, and then the earth-shattering explosion. Chop with three rounds. Chen Haoran's hand will not be crippled?

Although Xiong Tingbi and Li Chengliang are in Liaodong. But different official positions. Liaodong Xiong's house, on the tall door, is full of white lanterns. There is a funeral. The old head of the Xiong family died, and Xiong Tingbi was kneeling in front of the coffin. Suddenly, a large boat appeared out of the sea. Xiong Tingbi was shocked and said, "It's here." "Out of the boat came a twenty-something, wise and martial boy, this person is Xiong Zhaolian, it turns out that he is Xiong Tingbi's son, because he is not satisfied with his grandfather's love for his father, so he has left a long time ago, and now that his grandfather is dead, he will come back immediately. Xiong Zhaolian said to Xiong Tingbi: "I heard that Tai'a is about to be unearthed, and the Xiong family will defend it. How can you protect your homeland? Xiong Tingbi said: "Son, if there is a big event, I will work the master behind me to come out!" After speaking, I saw three figures behind me. Xiong Zhaolian said: "Talk nonsense, raise waste people." Suddenly, those three people appeared in front of Xiong Zhaolian at the same time, only to hear the three of them say: "What's so great about the so-called Qi Imperial Sword." Xiong Zhaolian said to the three of them, "Let's go up together!" and the three of them shouted angrily. Xiong Zhaolian was calm and relaxed, challenging the three martial arts celebrities, how amazing his courage was.

In a deserted and inhabited place, the mountain black hole. Inside there are seven stone pillars of different sizes. And the Demon Sect Wind Emperor Zhilong was landing on one of the stone pillars, and there was also a person on the other stone pillar at the same time, and this person was the Demon Sect Fire Emperor Yongtai. On the other four stone pillars, there are also four people kneeling. It is the four kings of the Demon Sect, gold, silver, copper and iron. The Demon Sect Leader can control these six unruly and unscrupulous people with superb martial arts, which shows that the prestige and strength of the Sect Leader are peerless. The misty sky suddenly thundered with lightning and thunder, and soon it was deafening. After a thunderclap, a man appeared on the largest stone pillar. It is like a god descending from heaven, and the fierce and surging momentum is shocking. It's really the Demon Sect Master. What is the origin of Chen Haoran's red mang? Can Xiong Zhaolian defeat the three elders, and what is the big plan for the high-level demon sect to assemble?

I saw that the four kings of the two days knelt down and chanted, flattering. I only heard the leader of the Demon Sect say: "The rivers and lakes are full of rumors, Tai'a has reappeared, and the enemy is faint." This Tai'a sword, in addition to its unfathomable power, has another significance, and the one who wins it can dominate the martial arts and even claim to be the emperor of the world. In other words, our Demon Sect is definitely going to take this weapon. ”

Emperor Zhilong said to the Demon Sect Master, "With the incomparable prestige and talent of this sect, this weapon should be in the bag of this sect. The leader of the Qiqi Sect, his seat has obtained the heavenly opportunity from Huang Zongxi, and the winner of the Tai'a weapon is a person with a name or a clear character in his name. Demon Sect Fire Emperor Yongtai said, "Yes, these words are really beautiful. Emperor Chitaka said, "What do you mean by that?" Fire Emperor Yongtai: "Enlighten the sect leader, there are countless clear characters in the various factions in the world, Zhilong said too frivolously, please think twice." The sect leader said: "Well, it is reasonable, the arrogant army will be defeated, Tai'a is so important, it must be carefully planned, not taken lightly." The two emperors were not convinced, so they fought in front of the sect leader, and the sect leader also wanted to investigate the martial arts of the two, so he didn't make a move. When the two of them fought brilliantly, the sect leader thought to himself: the martial arts of the two of them have made progress again during this time. A powerful force from the sect leader separated the energy of the two. The two emperors fell back to their respective stone pillars. I only heard the sect leader say: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning a hundred battles, the Tai'a Sword is about to appear, is there a gang that can compete for in the rivers and lakes?" Fire Emperor Yongtai said: "Judging from the current situation, Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang, and Xiong Tingbi can win the sword." The sect leader said: "Okay, Fire Emperor Yongtai will deal with Li Chengliang, Fire Emperor Yongtai will deal with Qi Jiguang, and Xiong Tingbi will deal with Xiong Tingbi." Go to each of you, and go with your sect master, King of the Iron Law. With that, he left with the Iron Law King.

They came to a gloomy place, and the sect leader said, "Iron Law King, this is the depths of Yin Mountain, before the excavation of Tai'a, there is something that must be done, so I sent you to guard it." "When the Iron Law King was appreciated by the Sect Master, he was immediately overjoyed. So the sect leader left, and the Iron Law King guarded Yin Mountain.

Besides, Chen Haoran's right arm shot straight at the red mang, and he didn't lose against Zuo Guo's three rounds, and his right arm hit straight to the three rounds, only to see that Zuo Guo's three rounds were knocked away, and Chen Haoran kicked Zuo Guo's back of the head with one kick, and then kicked Zuo Guo's front door. And Zuo Guo did not show weakness. Three rounds shot darts from the wheel, Qi Jiguang saw it, and in order to avoid hurting the innocent, he immediately used Ji Xiaoxin's book wolf milling. The dart has been swept away. And Chen Haoran also knew his mistake and immediately retreated. And this contest is over. And when Qi Jiguang wanted to accept Chen Haoran as an apprentice, Chen Haoran refused. And Qi Jiguang was also stunned.

When Zuo Guo failed, he walked alone on the snow. And suddenly, there was a demonic aura all around. Zuo Guo didn't know that he and the Qi family were surrounded by demons.

Besides, Xiong Zhaolian asked the three of them to go up together, and one of them was so angry that he blew up his lungs, it was Elder Moon Bear. I heard Elder Moon Bear say, "Are you a rabble for us?" Xiong Zhaolian said: "Old-fashioned. Bite off more than one can chew. Elder Yuexiong said, "Boy, take it!" only to hear Xiong Zhaolian say: "Old man, let you make three moves." "Elder Moon Bear has a high status, how can he ever be so despised. The fire burns the heart. Fat Xiong Zhaolian can't be injured. Elder Moon Bear danced the Heart-piercing Clavicle Stick. Directly to Xiong Zhaolian's face door. I saw Xiong Zhaolian sneering and a look of contempt. I saw that Elder Moon Bear couldn't escape with one move, and rushed straight to the door. Xiong Zhaolian floated into the air. Xiong Zhaolian did not escape, but floated, so easily that the shadow of Elder Moon Bear was disappointed. Elder Moon Bear swept sideways, and Xiong Zhaolian dodged it sideways. Xiong Zhaolian said: "There is one more trick left. "Elder Moon Bear was furious, and the third move was desperate. The two sticks hit Xiong Zhaolian on the head together. Xiong Zhaolian swirled vigorously, and his cloak turned sharply like a spiral, pouring the shadow of a thunderbolt to the ground. Xiong Zhaolian said: "If you are the only one, you will be defeated immediately." Xiong Zhaolian used his Qi Imperial Sword, and the long sword quickly went straight to Elder Moon Bear. How dare Elder Moon Bear underestimate the enemy, the stick dance is impassable, and the guard is as steady as Mount Tai. I only heard Xiong Zhaolian say: "I can't hold it." "The long sword has passed through the stick net, and Elder Moon Bear has avoided it. The third sword could no longer be avoided, and Elder Moon Bear had been repulsed.

Elder Moon Star has already taken out his stick, and the stick shadow has hit Xiong Zhaolian heavily, and Xiong Zhaolian also used the second layer of the Qi Imperial Sword to resist Elder Moon Star's stick technique. But the scabbard of the long sword was also crumbled to the point of no original skin. At this time, Elder Moon Bear was already sober, and regardless of his identity, he stepped forward to attack Xiong Zhaolian with Elder Moon Star. Xiong Zhaolian thought to himself: Since the two elders have made a move, then the sword in my hand should be unsheathed. After thinking about it, the long sword was unsheathed. The edge of the long sword is forced to be exposed, and with the second layer of the Qi Imperial Sword, it has forced the two elders away. The two elders said that they would not admit defeat in anything, reorganized the stick momentum, and attacked Xiong Zhaolian on both sides. When encountering a strong move, Xiong Zhaolian unexpectedly became excited and showed the most fierce moves. Using the third layer of the Qi Imperial Sword, he only felt that the two elders encountered a fierce momentum, and the stick shadow was destroyed when he touched it. Since the two elders became famous, they have never encountered such a powerful move. The snowflakes splashed, and the two elders howled in pain. I saw that Elder Yuetou let out a long roar, and the body of the stick had hit Xiong Zhaolian. When Xiong Zhaolian wanted to hurt the two elders again, he suddenly felt that the heat was as heavy as Mount Tai pressing, which made his sword momentum suspended, and he had to protect himself first. Xiong Zhaolian thought to himself: This month's Elder Throwing is much higher than the other two, I have to deal with it carefully. Just when everyone wanted to fight again, suddenly, a voice came from outside the door and said: "The old master of the Xiong family has just died, and the descendants have sacrificed their lives to fight?" I saw a middle-aged man with a Confucian scarf, followed by a fire snake and a white devil. I saw the middle-aged man standing in the middle of the four, and the air mass around him forced the four of them away. Said: "In the lower Confucianism Huang Zongxi." Aren't you hurtful and angry when you fight in front of the spirit of the old master Xiong?" Li Chengliang's wife, who is also Xiong Zhaolian's mother, immediately looked sad when she saw Huang Zongxi. At this time, I only heard Huang Zongxi say: "Now that Tai'a is preparing to reappear in Huashan, we should gather and go to seize it, instead of fighting here to the death." ”

In the Qi family, Qi Jiguang spoke to his son An Guo, and An Guo said: "Chen Haoran doesn't accept his father's affection, what does that mean." Qi Jiguang said: "Alas, An Guo, you don't know, being a father is destined for three catastrophes, and you are grounded in the rivers and lakes." And Chen Haoran may be the one who made me lift the ban on the Third Tribulation. An Guo said: "There are three calamities in life, I have never heard my father say it, and it has something to do with Chen Haoran?" Qi Jiguang was silent, and An Guo continued: "I thought that my father took in this boy of unknown origin for the sake of the old servant. Can you tell the child about the three tribulations?" Qi Jiguang's resolute face showed sadness and sorrow, and he fell into a mournful memory. At that time, Qi Jiguang was thirty-five years old and strong, and he practiced the new book of Ji Xiao and wolf milling. At this time, the Fire Emperor Yongtai was leading everyone to annihilate all sects, and Qi Jiguang thought that he had learned to learn the new book of discipline and wolf milling, so he issued a hero post and gathered fellow martial artists to punish Yongtai. At that time, various factions supported Li Chengliang as the leader of the alliance, which made Qi Jiguang angry. So, this night, Qi Jiguang went alone to annihilate Yongtai. Before going, he had to be instructed by a master, and the master said to Qi Jiguang: "There are three calamities in life." Grounded in the rivers and lakes, violated the ban against fate, and the family was ruined. One word is written: clear words, there are clear words in the name. can help you unblock. But Qi Jiguang didn't believe in this ghost and god theory. So on this day, he insisted on going to annihilate Yongtai. But the disparity in strength at that time was too great. made the family ruined and died, and fulfilled the words of the masters.

Qi Jiguang woke up from his memories and said to An Guo: "For decades, I have had a peerless martial arts and great ambition, but I have been subject to the three tribulations, which makes me depressed all day long. The pain is unbearable. The Tai'a Sword was unearthed. It is also a treasure that I dream of, and it is still unknown whether Chen Haoran is the one who solved the robbery, alas. Why is Heaven tormenting me like this? "Suddenly. Qi Jiguang's heart was beating faster. Qi Jiguang shouted: "Bad omen." ”

Besides, Zuo Guo was on the snow, and suddenly a nine-foot-tall, half-human, half-beast behemoth monster swooped down. Zuo Guo was shocked. The bullet flew away, and Zuo Guo thought to himself: Half human, half beast, extremely vicious, could it be the demon beast regiment raised by the Demon Sect Wind Emperor Zhilong? I saw all the demon beasts swarming up, quickly surrounding Zuo Guo, and at this time, a huge black shadow covered it. Zuo Guo said: "Giant eagle, the Wind Emperor Zhilong is also here. My little life is gone!" I saw Emperor Feng Zhilong say above: "Hahaha, tonight the Qi family will be bloodied and all killed." ”

Besides, Xiong Zhaolian ignored Huang Zongxi's words and blatantly challenged. I saw Xiong Zhaolian's mother say to Xiong Zhaolian: "Children must not be rude. I only heard Huang Zongxi say to Xiong Zhaolian's mother: "Cousin, don't come to be harmed, your complexion is so good!" Huang Zongxi greeted warmly, Xiong Zhaolian's mother's heart suddenly beat wildly, her face suddenly disappeared, and her cheeks became peach, showing a state of shame and joy in her daughter's family. Of course, Xiong Tingbi and the third elder understood in their hearts! And Xiong Zhaolian thought to himself: Mother seems to have a lot of respect for this cousin, but her expression is very strange, and I will not respect anyone except my mother. He won't sell it, this guy is disrespectful, and he has to teach him a lesson. Xiong Zhaolian said: "Get out, spare your life." Huang Zongxi said: "This is the Xiong family, you issued an eviction order, your identity is wrong, it's a joke!" Huang Zongxi ridiculed Xiong Zhaolian, Xiong Tingbi and others were very happy in their hearts, Xiong Zhaolian thought: This old ghost wants to humiliate himself. Thinking of this, Xiong Zhaolian used the third layer of the Qi Imperial Sword to strengthen his heart and eyes, Xiong Zhaolian's eyes suddenly widened, and two sharp eyes shot out like a sword.

With the eyes of the sword, the opponent is shattered, the heart is pierced, the light is cowardly begging for mercy, and the serious brain injury becomes disabled. Huang Zongxi touched Xiong Zhaolian's eyes, as if he was pierced by two swords, and his heart was shaken, but he was instantly calm and took the move with gentle eyes. Huang Zongxi's eyes are like bright eyes, his eyes are clear like mirrors, like he can see through other people's hearts, and he can also make people feel like a spring breeze, which is the most intoxicating to Xiong Zhaolian's mother. The peaceful and powerful eyes, like the rising sun, melted Xiong Zhaolian's cold and sharp eyes and sword like spring snow. Xiong Zhaolian was shocked, because he had never tried it before. The sword eyes have never defeated the enemy, and the anger is sharp. The fury spread to the sword, like an arrow on the bow. I saw that the sword was like a flying locust, and Huang Zongxi's hat had been cut off. Xiong Zhaolian's mother shouted, "Stop." The mother's loud shout made Xiong Zhaolian stunned.

Xiong Zhaolian's mother said to Huang Zongxi: "Cousin, I'm sorry, it's me who is not strict in discipline. Huang Zongxi said: "Don't worry, young people are more impulsive." Xiong Zhaolian's mother said: "Cousin, you said that Tai'a unearthed will cause disaster to the martial arts, is it true?" Huang Zongxi said: "The purpose of my trip is for the safety of the Xiong family and the Li family. The martial arts of the Demon Sect leader are world-famous, but he rarely makes a move, and the martial arts of the two emperors under his command are already dry opponents, if the two join forces, they can break the three of us one by one, but the two have always been at odds and compete with each other, so the three families are safe and sound. He continued: "But if the Tai'a Sword falls into the hands of the Demon Sect, he will have full confidence that he will personally go out and lead the Two Emperors and the Four Heavenly Kings to dominate the martial arts. At that time, the three families will be swallowed up, and let the fish and meat either surrender or die. Xiong Zhaolian's mother said, "Cousin, is there a way to solve the robbery?" Huang Zongxi said: "The only thing that can be saved is to find the three-eyed god gun." ”

Speaking of the Qi family, in the old servant's room, the old servant was chanting Buddha in front of a knife wrapped in a robe. At this time, Xiong Hu was coming to the door and said to Chen Haoran, "Why don't you accept the grace of the Qi family?" Suddenly, a murderous aura passed through, Chen Haoran and the old servant immediately went out to have a look, only to see a group of monsters killing Zuo Guo, and Chen Haoran immediately joined the battle group. But because he was outnumbered, he still fell for the monsters' plot. Suddenly, the old servant raised his knife and flew towards Chen Haoran, and after Chen Haoran caught it, with a wave, a green Bodhi knife qi appeared. A single sword has slain all the monsters.

Besides, in the Yin Mountain, the Iron Law King was guarding, and after thinking about it, he felt depressed. So he pressed the xylophone and played a tear-jerking music. During the play, a behemoth appeared behind him.

Besides, in Xiong Tingbi's family, Huang Zongxi counted the hexagram again, but this time the hexagram was very different. Huang Zongxi said: "This hexagram tells us that the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Xiong Zhaolian said: "Hey, the first god stick in the world, close your mouth." I saw Huang Zongxi do his best to start a hexagram again, and this time even the hexagram changed the sky. Huang Zongxi said: "Things are in the abyss of the south, the Lord is under the fire of the north, the Lord does not appear to things, and the Lord will die if the curse is not solved." Xiong Zhaolian said: "Bullshit doesn't work." Huang Zongxi said: "Xiong Zhaolian, if you have the guts, take a gamble, you make three moves, if you can hurt me or puncture my clothes, I will leave immediately, otherwise you kneel and kowtow to me." Xiong Zhaolian said: "Bet." Bring about one's own destruction. Xiong Zhaolian didn't say a word, and sprinted with his sword. Huang Zongxi stared at Xiong Zhaolian's footwork, deduced the direction of Xiong Zhaolian's sword attack, and easily dodged it. Xiong Zhaolian was shocked. The anger attacked the heart, adding to Xiong Zhaolian's killing intent. The sword light passed, and Huang Zongxi had already flown away again. All the disciples of the Xiong family applauded. Huang Zongxi said: "There is another trick. "Xiong Zhaolian used all his strength in the steep valley, and his blood multiplied his luck. Xiong Zhaolian thought to himself: If I want to kneel on the ground, I would rather die, if I don't kill him, I will die. Xiong Zhaolian's personality is extremely stubborn, and he can't be humiliated at all, and he desperately uses the highest sword of the Qi Imperial Sword to move the sword soul. I saw that the sword was like a net cover of heaven and earth, the floor shook and flew away, and Huang Zongxi seemed to be standing in the eye of the wind, with no way to escape. Xiong Zhaolian's mother shouted: "Stop. Xiong Zhaolian said: "Defeat, is death, you give me death!" After speaking, a sword was cut down.

Speaking of the Qi family, all the demon beasts swarmed up, and Chen Haoran was angry and ignited his killing intent for the first time. Although there were five enemies with one, Chen Haoran's knife was like a wheel, fierce and sharp, and the five beasts were afraid of the power of the sword, and they retreated for a while. Zuo Guo had just settled down, but crises followed. Spider beasts and war pig beasts spread to Zuo Kingdom. Zuo Guo waved his arms and blocked the spider beast's fist bombardment. But the spider beast served the advantage of six hands, and the other punch was immediately filled. It's a good Zuo country, and he was dizzy and swollen by the bombardment, but he still fought back in a hurry. The right fist hit the spider beast in the chest and abdomen like a cannonball. The punch was fierce, Zuo Guo's blow was returned, and the spider beast spurted blood and flew back. At this time, the war pig beast took advantage of the danger of people and punched the old servant, but behind the old servant's sudden gathering, a force had already shocked the war pig beast. The Pig-Beast's arm shattered immediately. Let's talk about Chen Haoran, Chen Haoran slashed quickly, criss-crossing the blades, and divided the wolf beast and the human body with the stick. The snake beast took the opportunity to hit Chen Haoran in the neck with a whip. The snake beast whipped Chen Haoran and dragged him down into the snow. The orangutan beast hugged Chen Haoran tightly. Suddenly, the knife on the ground suddenly bounced up and slashed at the orangutan. It turned out that Xiong Hu used his strength to get the knife up. Slash at the orangutan. Chen Haoran wanted to hold the blade of the knife, but he was taken a step faster by the orangutan beast, but at this time, the red light of Chen Haoran's arm appeared again, and the orangutan beast was stunned with one punch, and the knife fell into Chen Haoran's hand again.

And at this time, the Wind Emperor Zhilong made a move, and with a wave of his hand, the first extreme hell of the Yama Pole had already hit Chen Haoran. Chen Haoran blocked this move with his arm, but the knife was out of his hand again. Wind Emperor Zhilong unleashed the Yama Pole Second Pole Endless Tribulation, which had already hit Chen Haoran in the head. Chen Haoran fell to the ground, and when Emperor Feng Zhilong was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, suddenly, a giant milling head came to the earth, and it was actually formed by the aggregation of countless milling nets, sharp and extremely domineering, and the momentum was unprecedented. The comer intervened in the thunderbolt, and the emperor Zhilong, who was as strong as the wind, also avoided its edge. The symphony of weapons erupted into a loud noise. Wind Emperor Zhilong thought to himself: Awesome, so powerful. I have never met such a terrible opponent except the Sect Master, who is he? I saw that the man said, "Offend my family, and there will be no corpse." "A mill retreats from the enemy, domineering the sky, and the power of the world is Qi Jiguang, the head of the Qi family.

Besides, in the depths of Yin Mountain, the Iron Law King was playing music with the piano, but he didn't know that there was a big beast behind him that was opening its teeth and dancing its claws and preparing to devour the Iron Law King. Suddenly, the sound of the Iron Law King's piano changed, and it became extremely joyful, and the big beast behind was also infected by the sound of the qin, and danced, it turned out that the Iron Law King had already known that there was a big beast behind him, and deliberately moved the big beast. And in order to thank the Iron Law King, the Great Beast led the Iron Law King to another place. Seeing that this place was covered with corpses, the Iron Law King looked extremely terrifying. Suddenly, his deceased daughter appeared from behind. This surprise put the Iron Law King in a dilemma. (To be continued......)
