Chapter 620: Kill
Speed is one of the means to determine life and death, but it is not absolute. At least in front of Chen Haoran, they thought they were extremely proud, like a lightning-like thunderous method, but at this time, it was surprisingly slow.
A ripple of energy provoked by the recoil hit one of the black-clothed men in the chest unbiasedly, and the fist-sized blood hole was shocking. But this person did not die, but took advantage of the retreat to pop a marble-like hidden weapon from between his fingers.
The other person seemed to know what was going to happen next, and suddenly his body shook and disappeared.
Chen Haoran frowned slightly, and at the last moment, the divine power in his body immediately urged back, forming a transparent protective qi.
Boom, a loud bang slammed directly into the newly formed transparent barrier. The man in black who was pierced through the chest by Chen Haoran curled the corners of his mouth to reveal an arrogant sneer. "You think you have a divine soldier!" As he spoke, a red long sword quietly appeared at Chen Haoran's backbone, and as the red sword was pulled out, a pillar of blood erupted from Chen Haoran's back.
Immediately, blood stained the rubble on the ground.
The people who had just disappeared saw that Chen Haoran was stabbed by their companions, and each shot out a divine power from their palms, wanting to blast Chen Haoran into pieces.
What caught them off guard was that in addition to the Heavenly Remnant Sword, Chen Haoran also had two divine weapons. The Ancient Knife and the Demon Wand killed two of them from the clouds. At this time, the Heavenly Remnant Sword was also out of Chen Haoran's control, and a huge green dragon with a length of feet drove the sea of smoke towards another man in black, and everywhere he went, the wind suddenly rose, flying sand and stones, and a majestic force attacked from the void, just entangled the man in black in an instant.
The man in black who injured Chen Haoran showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect that this person would have a divine weapon.
Looking at the red long sword that was still dripping blood, Chen Haoran's face was cold. Suddenly. A large hand turned back from the void, and the mouth was silently recited. A sweep of thousands of armies wiped out, and the pen is impermanent.
Break.
A pillar of blood pierced the sky, and the man in black was stunned, and before he knew what was happening, he was pierced through the center of his eyebrows by a pen shining with golden light. The divine power turned into a fragment and floated in front of Chen Haoran's eyes. With a wave of his hand, he included it in the Qiankun Record.
Qin Ruoyan mentioned an important piece of information when returning the Qiankun Record to Chen Haoran, ten thousand species are the most primitive supernatural things in the Nebula World, and they have been robbing the wreckage of the underground palace. It is also something that the next generation of Heavenly Dao inheritors must master. And this thing is now in the hands of the evil lord.
When Chen Haoran killed one of the four sent out by a crippled person, another black-clothed killer was beaten by a piece of divine soldiers and retreated one after another, and at this moment, a piece of divine soldiers stopped without warning.
A big hand that had destroyed countless women waved so lightly, and a divine weapon obediently fell in front of Zhang Yiren.
With a light cold snort, the divine soldier was pointed out at a strange speed. Almost at the same time, the heart of the Dao eyebrows cracked, and the divine power of the white light was withdrawn from the body, turning into a fragment of spiritual consciousness only the size of a finger.
Chen Haoran put away the fragments and turned his head to look at the Goddess Peak in the distance, just when he was injured just now, there was a murderous aura leaking into the air from the Goddess Peak, according to the ripples produced by the air flow, Chen Haoran felt that there was a master standing there watching this fight on the Goddess Peak.
The four cultivators of the Nine Heavens of the Floating Slaughter all left four fragments of spiritual consciousness after their bodies died, and Chen Haoran did not hesitate. Instead, he swallowed all four fragments in one gulp. Regardless of the intentions of the people on the Goddess Peak, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to refine the impact level.
"What a megalomaniacal. The remnant of life flashed in front of Chen Haoran. He sneered.
Chen Haoran, who was engrossed in refining the fragments of spiritual consciousness, did not open his eyes although he felt a coercion coming. He could feel the anger on this person's body, and the four of them must have been sent by this person to kill him, but although these four people were advanced in cultivation, they had no brains, so they were killed by Chen Haoran after a few rounds.
According to Chen Haoran's judgment, this person's cultivation is at least the fifth level in the Nine Heavens of Futu. In front of such a highly cultivated person, it is absolutely impossible to run. Only by trying to the death, so I had the idea of breaking through.
Only by elevating one's cultivation to another level can one have the possibility of survival.
The fate of the remnants looked at each other with a cold face, and they looked disapproving. A big hand stretched out and condensed a ball of divine power, blasting towards Chen Haoran's body.
The power of the divine power could not be underestimated, and a loud bang flattened Fang Yuanli. When the smoke cleared and the dust landed, the dead brows furrowed, and looked at Chen Haoran in front of him in disbelief. That blow just now was a fraction of his divine power.
How could this be possible, he was just the first weight of the Nine Heavens of Futu.
Although he was a little surprised, then with a wave of his big hand, a gust of wind quickly surged towards the remnant of life, and the heavens and the earth changed color, and a cloud of solid air mist turned into a divine wave of lightning and lightning suspended above the head of the remnant of life.
"Let's see if you're still dead. As soon as the words fell, the divine wave slammed down.
Chen Haoran's mind flashed, and he saw a god suddenly appear. After the void was swayed, a ten-zhang thick barrier of Gang Qi was formed, and at the same time, a divine weapon stood on the top of the void to resist the full force of the remnant of life.
No one expected that just when the divine wave crashed through the Gang Qi barrier laid by Chen Haoran, and the divine weapon was swept into the whirlpool and was about to be destroyed, a muffled sound came from Chen Haoran's body, and then a powerful and inexplicable energy flow suddenly erupted. This energy flow was so large that it could instantly squeeze the Goddess Peak into the ground.
The mountain shattered in an instant and turned into powder. The smoke clouds floating in the sky were also forcibly pulled and turned into small white flowers.
At the same time, heavy rain fell in the clouds, and the whistling silver beads caused the thunder to roar and make bursts of sound.
"Actually broke through?" Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the cripple was about to pull out the dragon slashing scissors and slash at Chen Haoran's face, but was caught by two fingers.
"What, are you scared? Didn't you really want to kill Young Master Ben just now?" Chen Haoran popped out a finger, and with a click, the dragon slashing scissors actually fell in response to the sound and became a pile of fragments.
"What? Since you crushed the second-ranked dragon shear, the deity must kill you. Furious, he took out a long sword with a wave of his hand, and slashed it head-on.
"Bastard, if you had said that this was the second-ranked weapon in the history of the immortal world, how could this young master be willing to be disabled. Chen Haoran scolded casually, and then his mind changed. "Say so. You entered the Raiding Dungeon many years ago, and the scroll that recorded the ranking of weapons and the scroll that recorded the previous one was torn off by you?"
"Count yourself clever, but unfortunately you will never know the whereabouts of ten thousand species, suffer death!" the life remnant shouted angrily, and his body suddenly became larger. The long sword in his hand also swayed violently, and a coercion came from top to bottom. It was as if the sky was falling.
Chen Haoran sneered, it seems that he can't be killed directly, he must ask about the whereabouts of ten thousand species, otherwise he will not be able to comprehend the power of the evil venerable. "If you're going to get bigger, won't Master Ben?"
The four fragments of spiritual consciousness that he swallowed just now made Chen Haoran rise to a small realm, at this time, he was the fourth in the Nine Heavens of Futu, and he could transform his body shape at will, even if he wanted to become exactly the same as the cripple of life, it was not impossible.
The remnants of life stand in the air. In every gesture, the nebula throbbed, and the divine power was revealed. A meteorite that was strikingly in the starry sky broke away from its trajectory and smashed towards Chen Haoran under the control of its divine power.
The streamer flashed, and its temperature was as warm as day. I only listened to the firelight of the fire, like the scorching sun on the head, which attracted thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the turbulent rivers swept the huge waves from afar.
Chen Haoran clasped his palms together, and the karmic fire was urged. Wherever the rivers pass, there is a steam. A green dragon swam among them, driving the infinite majesty of nature with the power of its divine might, suppressing the monstrous flood pouring down.
However, the cruel means are vicious. Even if the green dragon conjured up by the Heavenly Remnant Sword kept devouring the torrent in the sky, it would be difficult to calm the big waves and ruin the lives of the people.
When Chen Haoran was distracted. The meteorite came quietly, with a loud bang, and smashed into Chen Haoran's body. With such a huge supernatural power, even if Chen Haoran's body was stronger than the menhir, it was inevitable that he would not be able to do anything, and he would be shattered by the bombardment after the loud noise.
The primordial spirit broke away from the control of the body in an instant, and at the same time attracted the aura of heaven and earth to reshape his body.
The Heavenly Remnant Sword stirred the remnant clouds in the sky and brought thousands of weather. The ghost cried and rushed towards the crippled man like a god. The crippled hands held up the sky and didn't know what incantation was recited in his mouth, and the evil wind rose sharply to blow away this condensed qi cloud.
Since the body was destroyed, it took time to reunite, and in the blink of an eye, the cripple launched another fierce attack. As a result, Chen Haoran's newly condensed body was blasted again.
"Look if you're still dead" Fatal laughed wildly, and a long sword turned into a rain of thousands of swords, falling from the sky like a pear blossom.
Chen Haoran was shocked, and immediately cast a spiritual step to drive the remnant clouds in the sky to crush this dense sword rain. The huge whirlwind blessed the green dragon transformed by the Heavenly Remnant Sword, and crushed towards the Remnant of Life.
Everywhere he went, he was destroyed.
The body finally condensed, and he let out a loud cry. Break. The anti-heaven god did not attract the divine power of heaven and earth, opened the void in front of him, and a dragon power battle armor condensed with divine power tightly wrapped Chen Haoran into.
If the body is destroyed again, Chen Haoran is likely to die and be killed.
So he had to mobilize all his forces to resist this man's repeated attacks. Although the Dragon Wei Battle Armor was only a shadow, it contained endless divine power, and although Chen Haoran mobilized very limitedly, he could still resist the arrogant monster in front of him.
In Chen Haoran's eyes, the cripple is a monster, and no one can still be intact under the repeated attacks of a divine weapon.
This person's cultivation has reached at least the fifth level of the Nine Heavens of Futu, while Chen Haoran only has the fourth level, and in terms of combat power, he can barely fight with him with the strength of a divine weapon and the means of all means, and it is almost impossible to kill him.
"Bad guy, dare to bully my father. Yan'er is going to kill you. A little girl's voice broke through the clouds and suddenly appeared in front of the crippled life.
The crippled man was about to perform a big kill, and wanted to kill Chen Haoran with one move, but at this moment, a female doll ran out of nowhere, long pink and tender, combed with two ponytails, and looked very cute.
Chen Haoran also saw it, he was going to use the remaining sword form of the Heavenly Remnant Sword that he had just met to fight to the death, but he didn't expect Yan'er to suddenly appear. "Yan'er, be careful!" Chen Haoran's heart suddenly rose to his throat, why did Yan'er appear?
But Yan'er didn't know it, and before the head of the crippled head turned around, Yan'er raised a little finger to the nebula, only to see a thunderbolt through the thick clouds and slash to the center of the crippled eyebrows. The white light flashed, and the sad life was not killed under the combined attack of Liu Er and Fang Yue, and it was really sad that she died in the hands of a seven or eight-year-old female doll. From then on he will disappear into this world.
Chen Haoran didn't react a little, but he tried his best to barely draw with his life, but he didn't expect this little girl to kill this big devil with just one hand, and this cultivation was also against the sky.
"Daddy. "Yan'er grabbed the fragment of spiritual consciousness left over from her life in her little hand, and screamed.
Chen Haoran hadn't been buffered by the blow he had just received in his heart, and when he saw the fragment of spiritual consciousness in Yan'er's little hand handed it to him, his pretty face was suddenly hot, and he was a little embarrassed to be exposed to the air.
"Yan'er, didn't you go to the Immortal Demon Domain with your beautiful sister, why did you come back again!" Chen Haoran shamelessly stretched out his big hand to take the fragment of spiritual consciousness. hugged Yan'er up. Yan'er looks like she is seven or eight years old, but her actual height is only four years old.
If it weren't for Yan'er's murder, Chen Haoran really didn't know how long he would fight with this person.
"The beautiful sister said that Daddy had met a bad guy and asked Yan'er to come back to help Daddy. ”
"Daddy, why is your face so red, is it that bad guy who hurt Daddy? Yan'er rubbed Chen Haoran's face with her pink little hands. "Daddy is not afraid, with Yan'er here, no one dares to bully Daddy anymore. ”
Chen Haoran's face turned even redder. Since a big man wants a little girl to protect him, if he says it, he won't be laughed to death.
"Uh, Yan'er, good girl, Daddy takes you home, there is a young lady as old as you, you will play with her in the future, if someone bullies you, find a beautiful sister." "I remembered when I was leaving. The child in Piaopiao's womb didn't know how long it had been in the year of his cultivation.
But Chen Haoran knew. Time will never pass long. A year in the outside world may only be one day for the mortal people.
Holding Yan'er and stepping on the colorful clouds to break a hole in the nebula, time and space seemed to be a mirror at this moment, appearing in front of Yan'er's eyes, she was still a child, where had she ever seen such a miraculous body.
Just a stick of incense. He came from the clouds to the Heavenly Mountain.
In June, the mountains are full of fruits, and all kinds of wild fruits exude an attractive sweetness, but everything that has passed does not look back.
From afar, Chen Haoran saw a fat hand holding a little girl picking peaches in a peach orchard.
"Daddy. Why does this sister look so much like you, will she be your child like Yan'er!" Yan'er pointed to the little girl in the peach orchard below who was holding a little hand like a pig and talking to Pan Tao.
Chen Haoran looked down, and sure enough, this little girl not only has the same charm as herself, but also has a pair of beautiful big eyes, so there is no doubt that this girl should be her little girl.
Fat seemed to sense an unusual fluctuation in the air, and busily protected the little girl in his arms. With a wave of his big hand, a seven-toothed nail rake appeared. "Who dares to sneak into the old pig's peach orchard to spread wild. ”
"Yo, I said pig, when did you become the owner of this peach orchard? Yes, this peach is quite big, compared to the fairy peach I ate back then. Chen Haoran put down Yan'er and smiled loudly.
"Second ,,, Second Young Master" The pig thought that he was old and dazzled, and he looked at it to see who the second young master was.
"Emma, the second young master is back! The old pig is about to kill you, so many years have passed, from the little guy to the little old man, and the second young master, you are still in the wind. The pig smiled, squatted down and shouted to the little girl on the side: "Xin'er, this is your father, is it younger than Uncle Pig, I think your Uncle Pig was also a talent back then, and the beautiful sisters behind him were row after row." ”
"Daddy!" Xin'er seems to hear pigs bragging a lot, so it's not surprising. He screamed sweetly and ran towards Chen Haoran.
The pig wiped his tears on the side, the old pig, I'm easy, I'm a handful of shit and a handful of urine to bring you up, and now when your father comes back, he won't even say hello to your Uncle Pig, so he patted his ass and left.
Chen Haoran shook his head and smiled bitterly, picked up the old Xin'er and walked to the pig. "Hold your hand out. Chen Haoran said lightly with a smile on his face.
The pig didn't know what it meant, and hesitated for a moment before stretching out his chubby old hand. "Second Young Master, what are you doing here. Seeing that Chen Haoran didn't speak, but had a smile on his face, the pig was apprehensive in his heart.
"I look at your complexion, your longevity is coming to an end, if Young Master Ben comes back a few days later, your old life will not be guaranteed. I just inherited 10,000 years of yang life for you, do you feel that your spirit is back?" Chen Haoran retracted his big hand and gently patted the pig's shoulder a few times, with a trace of sadness on his face. Like the pig and Zhang Luo, they will leave themselves one day, and they can't live against the sky, and if they are forced, they will be punished by God.
Only by cultivating to reach the realm of the Nine Heavens of Futu. in order to live with the stars and the moon. Her own woman can achieve the same effect because she has absorbed a lot of essence.
"Brother Haoran, when did you come back! Xian'er misses you so much. Chen Haoran looked back, who was not the donkey fairy?
If you want to say that Chen Haoran is the most sorry person, it is estimated that it should be this donkey fairy. First of all, Donkey Xian'er was the first of all the women Chen Haoran knew. Of course, this does not include his horse that he has ridden to the big domain god species since he was a child, Bai Lian'er.
From embarking on the road of cultivating immortals to now the infinite scenery, the first person Chen Haoran wants to thank should also be this donkey fairy. But when Chen Haoran is now a little accomplished, he is called a man of God externally, and he is a considerate and caring husband internally. Why don't you feel pity for this little donkey?
This is the knot in Chen Haoran's heart, and it is also the fact that Chen Haoran doesn't want to admit the most.
The second young master, Chen Haoran, has ridden a bull and a horse since he was a child, but he has never ridden a donkey. The donkey is a guy who has a very humble identity and walks into the field, and the identity of the donkey is not more noble than the inn. It is definitely inferior to the servants of the beggar's house.
Of course, Chen Haoran does not dislike donkey fairies. You must know that her mother is an extremely powerful existence, and she is an extremely eye-catching and bewitching woman in the entire immortal cultivation world. What's more, the donkey fairy is also good, Chen Haoran has no pressure to be with her, and even Chen Haoran likes to enjoy the moon and talk with the donkey fairy.
But I don't know why, as soon as Chen Haoran thought of making out with this little donkey, the little young master under his crotch seemed to have suffered some blow. Crestfallen.
"Brother Haoran, what's wrong with you? Does Brother Haoran get angry?" Donkey Xian'er pitifully hugged Chen Haoran's arm and shook it from side to side, with indescribable sadness in her eyes.
"Well, what could it be! I've had a headache lately, maybe it's been blowing too much. Xian'er is going to make a cup of tea for her brother, okay" Chen Haoran held Yan'er with one hand and slapped it on his head with the other.
"Huh. Who is this little sister?Brother Haoran can't be your illegitimate daughter, right?" Donkey Xian'er seemed to have just seen Yan'er in Chen Haoran's arms, and opened her mouth wide in shock. She knew that Chen Haoran was pushing her away.
"My sister is so beautiful! My name is Yan'er, and this is my father. What is the relationship between my sister and my father? Yan'er put her arms around Chen Haoran's neck and looked at the donkey fairy with wide eyes.
Donkey Fairy was asked by this little girl, since she didn't know how to answer.
Chen Haoran took the opportunity to put Yan'er down. Walk in front of Xin'er. "Take Daddy to your mother. ”
Although Xin'er met Chen Haoran for the first time, she was no stranger at all. Maybe it's the blood relationship.
"My mother and a few aunts are learning embroidery in the back garden, and Xin'er will take her father there. Xin'er follows her maiden name, which is also the reward system set by Chen Haoran in order to reward Piaopiao. Piaopiao's surname is Liu, and the daughter she had with Chen Haoran is called Liu Feifei. Xin'er is Liu Feifei's milk name.
When Chen Haoran asked Xin'er who her name was, Xin'er replied very honestly. "It's a strange old man, and my mother said that the crazy and crazy old man is Xin'er's grandfather. ”
For this reason, Chen Haoran sighed that the old man at the top is a person with cultural heritage. His daughter's name is Piaopiao, and his daughter's daughter is naturally called Feifei. I just don't know what Feifei's daughter should be called? Maybe at that time, Chen Haoran will be completely stunned.
When the donkey fairy saw Chen Haoran walking towards the back garden, she also took Yan'er's little hand and followed behind. She still likes this Yan'er a lot, although she doesn't know where Chen Haoran sowed the seeds, but Donkey Xian'er believes that as long as she has a good relationship with Yan'er, her happiness will not be far away.
As soon as the women saw that their husbands had returned, they inevitably made a commotion, all kinds of warm fragrances and charming bones, gorgeous and fragrant, and the flowers were not more than one ten-thousandth of them. Chen Haoran hugged this and touched that, so uncomfortable.
Before you know it, the black flying rabbit is gone, and the night is coming again.
"Husband, come to Lian'er's room at night!" Bai Lian'er put down the white jade flower pendant pot in her hand, stood up and put the two little white rabbits on Chen Haoran's shoulders, looked around, and then spit out pandan and said softly.
Chen Haoran looked at the women and found that all the women were bowing their heads and picking vegetables, and no one came out to speak. It's as if it had been agreed in advance. Bai Lian'er, as the sworn friend of Donkey Fairy, must say something while all the girls are happy.
Originally, Chen Haoran only wanted to take a few sips at night, but he couldn't resist the toasts of the women in turn, and the one who drank was called a drunken dream.
Among the women, only the donkey fairy was particularly nervous. She didn't eat wine and chew on food like everyone else. Instead, he lowered his head, blushed his little face, and kept pulling the corners of his clothes with his two small hands. It looked like a child who had made a mistake.
Chen Haoran couldn't see the thoughts of the outstanding women, and he was afraid that there was no reason to shirk the donkey fairy.
"Daddy, you're going to tell Yan'er a story tonight. The pretty sister said. Before she came, her father had to sleep with Yan'er and was not allowed to go anywhere. also said that if Daddy is disobedient, let Yan'er turn into thunder and slash Daddy's head, so that Daddy will be obedient. Just as everyone was waiting for Chen Haoran to nod, Yan'er, who was wearing two ponytails, climbed onto the stool and said very seriously.
Chen Haoran's face suddenly turned pale, this Murong Shiyun was too despicable. Others don't know how powerful Yan'er's blow is, but he sees it right. The remnant of life is the fifth cultivation of the Nine Heavens of Futu, and it can fall into the hands of Yan'er. It's just a slash with your hand, and it's gone.
"Uh, did your beautiful sister really say that?" Chen Haoran originally wanted to wronged himself, and it was the same when he closed his eyes, whether he was a donkey or a horse, as long as he could ride, who knew that Yan'er's words were like a slap in the face, and Chen Haoran was at a loss.
How is this good, I originally wanted to stay with my daughters-in-law for a few days. I guess not so much at the moment. You know, where can you grasp it with so many glamorous wives every day. If you can't grasp it. Yan'er will be in trouble if she splits her head.
The women disapprerovised and moved their eyes to the low table beside Chen Haoran, where Yan'er was holding a piece of cereal in her hand and eating it all over her mouth.
Luo Yao couldn't laugh when she saw this scene, she could clearly feel the ferocity that Yan'er exuded when she spoke. This ferocity was no match for a finger of hers, even in all the people sitting in the room.
Yu Linglong and Chen Haoran have a heart-to-heart, and she naturally knows what Chen Haoran is afraid of. It's not that he's afraid that Yan'er will really kill Chen Haoran with a thunderbolt, but he's afraid that it will happen for no reason. I don't know where this little girl came from, but she has cultivated so profoundly.
Qin Ruoyan got up slowly. walked up to Yan'er and smiled: "Let my aunt get rid of the crumbs on your mouth for you, and go to my aunt's room tonight, my aunt has a lot of delicious food, as well as your favorite big red hearts." ”
The donkey fairy was also in a hurry to get up, and she didn't know where to conjure a red heart. It was handed to Qin Ruoyan from behind him, with a hint of anxiety on the corner of his mouth. She was born in an alien species, so she naturally felt the terrifying aura emanating from Yan'er.
"Wow, what a big peach!How did my aunt know that Yan'er likes to eat peaches!" Yan'er blinked, stretched out her small hand to hold the big peach in her hand, and shouted excitedly.
Chen Haoran looked at the donkey fairy curiously, this peach was given to her from the underground palace when she was watching the stars with her, but she didn't expect this girl to be reluctant to eat it.
"Because my aunt and your beautiful sister are good friends! Yan'er likes to eat peaches, of course, your beautiful sister told your aunt, and your beautiful sister also said that you want you to protect Miss Xin'er, sleep and chat together at night, do you want to be good friends with Miss Xin'er?" Qin Ruoyan was not as cold and glamorous as before, and her performance tonight made Chen Haoran feel refreshed. I always thought that Qin Ruoyan was the most beautiful when she was cold, but she didn't expect today's smile to be even more captivating.
"Would the young lady like to play with Yan'er?" Yan'er didn't know how to get it, but she blew a breath from her small mouth, and the peach she was holding in her hand was split in two. handed half of the peach to Xin'er, who had been smiling at her, and kept the other half for herself.
Xin'er is ten years old this year, much taller than Yan'er. has Chen Haoran's arrogance in her bones, but her appearance is as beautiful as her mother. "Thank you, Sister Yan'er, let's go play with Uncle Pig!"
Yan'er nodded happily, and everyone took a long breath from then on. Although the night was dark and windy, everyone was very relieved of Xin'er's safety. After a while, Piao Piao and Ruoyan also followed, and Nier and the others retreated after cleaning up.
Chen Haoran held the ginseng tea handed to him by the donkey fairy in his hand, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his eyes. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. (To be continued......)
