Volume 1, Chapter 31: Waiting for the Opportunity

Overjoyed, Su Muqing hurriedly opened the gift box, only to discover that it was filled entirely with clothes, skirts, and similar items.

“You know there’s a chance you won’t come back from this trip, don’t you?” Tang Kaiyu voiced the words he found difficult to say.

The cold wind howled. Steep cliffs towered into the sky, while raging waves crashed against the shore, their spray rolling up like thousands of heaps of white snow.

But after all, he was a general trained by Jialuo. Seeing that his soldiers were on the verge of fleeing, he regained his composure and let out an angry roar.

Kerli gritted her teeth, then abandoned the idea of using her wand. Berglit had spoken the truth: when it came to mental strength, almost no one could rival him.

He had no desire to drag Bagui House into some bizarre dispute. If the place ended up closing because of this mess, he would truly have to settle the account with Changle.

Zhurong directly gathered spiritual energy and poured it into the First Snow Necklace, wanting to see whether Ice Supreme Ji’s words were true. Yet when the spiritual energy entered the necklace, nothing happened at all.

Apart from its black armor, hundreds, even thousands, of enormous arms emerged around the wooden man’s body. Every arm was covered in armor that shimmered with a sinister light.

Mastery simulated Saga’s route of advance. After calculating and determining Saga’s final destination, Meng Kai’s radiance flashed with Mastery’s assistance, and in the next instant, Meng Kai vanished from the spot.

Nalan Ling had long since seen through Lan Ye’s movements. Raising his left arm, he blocked and deflected eighty percent of the force behind Lan Ye’s kick. His right hand then reversed the flow of heaven and earth, his palms shifting between yin and yang—deflecting, rising, moving, striking, and driving back his enemy in one seamless motion.

More importantly, they had underestimated the intelligence of the Blood Moon people. It was like humans watching a gorilla begin using a simple wooden stick as a weapon to strike its opponent—utterly laughable.

“You bastard, just you wait! Because of your stupid and bestial behavior, I’ve suffered so much humiliation and hardship, and you made my darling misunderstand and hate me for nothing! Damn it, I’ll never let you off. Just wait to die!”

Zheng Chenheng’s face was dark and dangerous as he ground his teeth and raged indignantly.

Under several scorching gazes, Zheng Chenheng and Xichen strode elegantly into the shop across the street. The man sorting merchandise noticed someone entering, set down the box in his hands, and hurried to greet the customers. But when his eyes fell upon the crowd packed outside the shop door, he scratched his head in utter confusion.

Li Yanran followed the direction he indicated. The instant she looked over, she drew in a sharp breath with a hiss.

He watched helplessly as Tian Xin, crushed so tightly that she could barely breathe, began to turn blue around the lips. Yet her complexion remained as fair and delicate as ever, which made his expression grow rather strange.

Liu Congliang’s shout had indeed been loud, and since the voice was familiar to One-Eyed Liu, he heard it very clearly.

After hearing Tufa Wugu’s words, the Xianbei army looked carefully and saw that there truly did not seem to be many men there. Their courage rose somewhat, unaware that Tufa Wugu had not seen a damn thing at all and was merely trying to pacify the remnants of the army.

The battle continued. Before long, the middle-aged man from the heretical cult, a high-level spirit warrior, had been struck several times by the group. Blood poured from his chest before he collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.

“Are you all right? Should you go to the hospital first?”

Hearing that gentle, pleasant voice tinged with faint concern, Su Yun and Wang Tiangui raised their heads in surprise. When they saw who had arrived, undisguised delight appeared in their eyes. Yet in the very next moment, Su Yun covered her face and began to cry in shame.

Of course, the reason he knew so much about “Shocking Heaven”—or was so sensitive to it—came entirely from the two grown men who had openly fooled around with each other in his company. The two most renowned executives in the illustrious Sky Duke Group, famous throughout the business world, were actually a pair of veteran gays!

Standing at the very front was Shangguan Wan’er. From the time they had met until now, Ling Xuan had never known the former’s level of strength, so his eyes were filled with expectation.

I simply never expected that after Lin Rou heard my offhand suggestion, she would not only fail to object but immediately express her agreement.

He had thought he could withstand the golden lightning, but only when it struck his body did he realize how terribly mistaken he had been. The flesh on his left shoulder was blasted apart in an instant, exposing the gleaming white bone beneath.

“You know everything I do? Then why do you know only that I have been searching for someone, but not whom I am searching for?” Wei Qingqing asked Bai Ci in an unhurried tone.

She truly understood Xiao Mo’s heart less and less. If he was cold-blooded and heartless, then what was the meaning of all the protection he gave her?

Although I did not know why he still wanted to leave, once I thought of how he had agreed to stay, I could only comply with his wishes.

He looked around in bewilderment, as though he had no idea where he was or what had happened. First he stared blankly at Madam Han, then turned to look at Ling Wanrou kneeling on the ground. Finally, his gaze fell upon himself.

How had things ended up like this?

Gong Cheng had been forced to surrender and was taken away because he feared for Qin Wu. Qin Wu was locked inside a room, all her communication devices confiscated, and she was temporarily placed under house arrest.

“What, are you afraid? If you are, you don’t have to come. As it happens, I don’t want to cooperate with you either!”

I ignored her surprise and continued to respond coldly.

“Fine! Then cut off another arm.”

Bai Qi thought for a moment, then nodded. Losing an arm would not affect anything. He was the commander of these soldiers, and he had to bring matters to an end with his brothers.

Larry Brown saw the smiles on Lisi and Jenny’s faces but did not ask the question. He would never show weakness in front of his players.

“Open your Third Eye and see for yourself…”

The Flower Monk sat down on the sofa, his expression immediately turning solemn.

Before the steward left, he seemed to whisper something into the city lord’s ear, then withdrew.

Jinghua City’s walls stood fifteen zhang high, or forty-five meters—nearly half as low as those of Tiandu City. But that was only natural. Tiandu City was one of the few first-tier cities in the Northern Commandery, and among all the first-tier cities conquered throughout the Northern Commandery, there was only one: Border City, near the frontier of Qi.

Lilith suddenly became intensely excited, though a trace of dejection inevitably mingled with it. She was excited because her brother had once again accomplished something beyond the imagination of ordinary people, something worthy of pride. She was dejected because she had once again failed to be of any real use. She hated herself for being this way.

Just as Ning Tianlin reached his final decision, the voice of the Combat Power System rang out again. At the same time, the Centipede of Ten Thousand Legs—whose body was constantly breaking apart and regenerating—began to undergo a violent transformation.
