Chapter 57

Superintendent Law, whose original name was Law Yau-hang, had once been Yu Tsz-long's direct superior. Having the rank of superintendent, he was thoroughly displeased to find himself unluckily assigned to the DIE, keeping him in a terrible mood ever since.

Lux tightened her grip on Chen Xi's hand. She did not want to leave him, especially at such a crucial moment, yet she could not let go of her family—her brother and her aunt.

"Alright, Ah Xi, tell us what we should do now and where we should start investigating," Mai Dou said happily.

Crossing mountain after mountain and vast expanses of snowfields through a journey against the stars, the three of them actually reached their destination just as the starry sky blanketed the firmament.

Ah Huan extended his left hand, intending to press towards the Western sector representing the trigram Dui, when he suddenly felt the demon-suppressing ring on his left wrist shifting around his wristbone.

At that moment, two crisp spiritual tones echoed in his ears, seemingly intended to remind me of the deep bond between them.

Vi was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Xi's attitude, but her fiery temper had improved slightly, at least preventing her from starting a fight in the middle of the street this time.

"Heh, you don't need to worry. Actually, come to think of it, I should thank the Englishmen," Li Xi suddenly said.

The demon race possessed formidable inherent combat power and vibrant vital energy, but Qi Xuanjing never expected that even Qi Xuanwu possessed such capability.

Long Qingteng felt a headache coming on. Matters of the heart were the most complex of all; he could barely untangle his own emotional entanglements, making it highly unlikely that he could persuade the stubborn Long Qinghu to change his mind.

Following that, he placed a call to Lin Xiaohu, informing him that he had arrived in Kunming and mentioning tomorrow's grand opening ceremony for the antique acquisition shop. He asked Lin to invite some prominent and influential figures to come and show their support, to which Lin Xiaohu readily agreed.

Five years ago, Sun Yingxian had pushed him off a cliff, and he had sworn to find that person and subject him to a fate where death would be a welcome release.

"It's nothing, nothing at all. As a dragon slayer, one ought to do something a little extraordinary..." Lu Mingfei hurriedly elevated his own prestige.

Kurei Akemi bowed to Liu Zhen. This was the first time he had witnessed such a thing, and knowing this was a fight to the death, it was only right that he offer the respects due to a formidable warrior.

This was a vast and boundless beach, completely uninhabited, save for endless sand dunes and the boundless azure sea.

She seemed immensely powerful, commanding winds and rain in this world, capable of anything and privy to everyone's secrets.

To have stepped into the Grandmaster realm by the age of thirty meant his martial arts aptitude was already quite good. Coupled with a decade of unremitting effort, he was now at the peak of the mid-Grandmaster realm.

Ling Zhu summoned a large fireball, looking with considerable difficulty at the monster that had burst forth from the soil.

Mo Qian's clone let out a soft exclamation. Buddhist supreme arts were the bane of the netherworld; although Li Feng's grasp of Buddhism was still superficial, the giant axe possessed spiritual awareness and seemed reluctant to provoke him.

Ye Qingqing had great confidence in her teammates; surely someone would be able to reach the finish line, even though they had no idea what trials awaited them.

At the time, I found it curious. None of us knew how to play the piano, yet Han Ye's villa housed an expensive instrument. Thinking back now, the presence of the piano perhaps made a lot more sense.

In a rush of panic, I abruptly slammed my hands together, clasping the sides of the wolf's head, and violently lowered my head to smash my forehead directly against its nose. I only heard a loud bang as the wolf's head was knocked flying away, landing in the distance where it rolled twice before going completely still.

Until I was certain there was not a shred of murderous intent left in Old Scar's body, I turned my gaze toward Du Miao. By then, Du Miao had already captured the malevolent ghost, pinning it to the staircase railing by piercing its left leg with a long needle, while he himself retreated far off to the side.

As the current representative of the Sen family in Jianghai City, Sen Yifeng naturally received an invitation from the Song family to attend the funeral.

At that moment, Hu Zongming produced a mobile phone, on which a video was playing.

"Shut your mouths, can't you see Chairperson Ning's expression doesn't look well?" Gao Dabao reprimarded Zhao Zheng and Xu Fu.

I carefully examined the puppet, noting seven scars left upon it, five of which were fatal wounds. Before Da Kang met me, he had been attacked at least seven times; without the life-substituting puppet, he would have died five times over.

Golden radiance and candlelight merged into one, illuminating the midair like a brilliant cascade of fiery rain. Within a radius of ten meters, tiny specks of gold light and red dots filled the space. Misono Hiroshi, who was hanging beneath the lamp, was merely grazed by a wisp of golden light when his entire body burst into raging flames, instantly transforming into a human torch.

We are all spirit beasts, and day and night are the same to our eyes. Hiding inside a patch of reeds surrounding the pig farm, we quietly observed.

Neferpitou looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, a dark shadow instantly washing over his face, and the aura surging around his body grew even more terrifying.

Tuzi and the other pushed open the car doors and stepped out. Jingyi hurriedly walked over to the driver's side and slid into the driver's seat, saying, "I'll drive." As she spoke, she turned around and handed the Qiuqiu she was holding to Wu Yingying in the back.

As Lu Feng extracted increasingly more blood from the other party while simultaneously pumping more in, he clearly felt a wave of weakness washing over him.

To confirm whether the seed was "dead" or "alive," Netero went outside, bought a pound of pork, and dropped it into the stone box.

Before long, day turned completely to night, probably around seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Nian and the other two set up a simple fabric tent. Naturally, Nian and Isabella rested inside the tent, while Ike chose to sleep outside in the rougher elements to keep watch through the night.

Ike and Hall broke out in a heavy sweat. Why did that sentence sound so strange and evocative of wildly wandering thoughts?

Being fully aware of the critical importance of Zazan's invincible biological weapon, he could still calmly watch Netero carry Zazan away beneath the surface of the water and make such a judgment.

"Young Master Ouyang, let me go, I was wrong," Pang Fei cried out in terror. Facing that incoming fist, he finally felt true despair.

"Why? What is there to explain?" Yang Yu said in confusion, casting a glance at Shisan at the same time. Shisan wore a helpless expression, while the large black dog refused to even lift its head.

Without further ado, the group nodded and departed, with Ziguang Chuxue also taking Ji Yingyu away, leaving only Ji Mo and Lu Ya standing in place.

After going through considerable trouble, Feng Yi and Qingyu finally managed to save the lives of those possessed by inner demons. Especially the two whose cervical vertebrae had been fractured—even with Feng Yi personally stepping in to channel massive amounts of magical power to protect their souls, they had almost failed to save them. Fortunately, with Qingyu assisting on the side, the bones were barely reconnected.
