Volume 1, Chapter 31: The King of Mercenaries—Xu Feng

"Senior, your eyes are truly sharp; you spotted the flaw in my martial beast at a single glance. But what exactly did you mean by saying you could keep my martial beast in a state of fusion?" Gu Qiu asked.

Yu Aotian immediately put on a serious expression. "It’s fine, they can handle it." The next second, a faint, wicked smirk curled at the corner of his mouth.

After hearing this difficult decision, Ma Long thought that since they had been forced into this position, the entire Blue Star probably had no other choice. Out of humanitarian spirit, Earth indeed had a responsibility to lend a hand.

"Rise, all of you. These years have been hard on you. As your master, I failed to fulfill my duties, but seeing you grow to this point, surpassing me, I am proud of you!" Xue You said with immense gratification.

"Fire another round, and my elephant corps will have covered half the distance! Let’s see if you can even manage a third shot! Hahaha..." Moroyina watched the war elephants charging forward in an orderly fashion, a triumphant, savage grin spreading across his face.

The room was small, barely over ten square meters. He hadn't noticed anything special when he first arrived, but now that he was alone, his senses were much sharper than before. Remembering the speculation Er Gou had mentioned earlier, he finally noticed that the floor here seemed somewhat odd.

Even so, Yao Yao no longer knew how to face Yu Aotian, nor how to face those she had once known so well.

He then picked up the phone again and called Wang Peng. It took a long time for the other party to answer.

"Ngh..." A painful muffled groan escaped her lips as blinding blood sprayed from her left shoulder.

Pan Xiaorong strode toward him, closing the distance. "You don't need to say anything! Today, I’m taking you down with me! Come and join me in the underworld!" Gritting her teeth, Pan Xiaorong lunged, a surge of ghostly aura rushing toward Guo Minsheng.

The Japanese army moving by land fared even worse. Two divisions, totaling 40,000 men, marched south, only to be cleverly surrounded by the Chinese who utilized the terrain to trap them like dumplings. Fewer than 15,000 returned, effectively losing half their force.

Fortunately, he could still utilize his spiritual power. He inspected his body and was suddenly struck with shock. In the center of his chest, a golden heart was quietly suspended, beating rhythmically. With every beat, it released a mysterious power that coursed through his flesh, blood, and meridians.

Baron Colter, whose name was Lars, was a veteran pirate from Iceland and had long been Claudia's deputy, possessing exceptional ability. Liu Mang knew the Baron was in charge of the fleet, but seeing Claudia's posture, he realized there was a deeper meaning behind this arrangement.

The condition of the cave hadn't changed much, except that the spiritual energy concentration was more than double. However, it was less than Wang Pengwu had anticipated, naturally because a portion of the energy had been absorbed by the Nine Coffins.

Ye Zeming intended to exploit this trait to launch challenges within that vast achievement system of the shop.

Zifeng’s words stunned all the leaders of the eighteen nations, including the crossbreed dogs. They stared in horror at the boy on the screen who was roaring at them. Destroy a nation? Where did he get the confidence and the nerve?

"Drag them all away!" Ke Qian waved his hand, cutting off the mercenary representative mid-sentence.

Ye Zeming grabbed A-Bao’s gun-wielding hand and shoved it aside, then slammed his right elbow into A-Bao’s face, sending him crashing into the wall. With a dull "boom," an indentation appeared in the wall, and stone debris sprayed everywhere.

Therefore, Qing'er had to find Ke Chunyan now; only by finding him could she possibly retrieve that stack of investigation files.

The old man looked quite comical when he lost his temper. Seeing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

While digging the pit, Li Zhishi had specifically found an opportunity to tell him that. The chubby man considered himself a veteran having survived three or four mission worlds, but he hadn't expected this guy who called himself "Wood" to shatter his senior-level confidence with just a few words.

He had rashly used his mental probing technique directly on a high-level cultivator, especially a spiritual expert from a Divine Realm sect; he feared there was a high probability of being detected.

However, his company in the south also needed management, so he could only fly to Fengtian once a month to spend three or four days with Su Huan.

Suddenly, the night, which had been as cold as frost, transformed instantly. The clear, pale white shifted into a myriad of golden rays, as if a sun sealed for ten thousand years had suddenly broken its bonds and leaped into the sky.

"Damn it!" Jia Zhengjin had traveled through many worlds and killed countless people, but he was still shocked to hear this. After all, he wouldn't harm people without reason, but this world's avatar wasn't nearly as kind-hearted.

"Big Brother, I have committed a shameful act that stains your reputation; please punish me!" Pan Jinlian intended to spill everything about what had happened that afternoon.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in the courtyard to take a headcount. There were 154 people in total. Chen Er Gou did not join them, staying behind to help Wu Dalang organize the restaurant.

Looking at the beauty on the bed, his gaze was more resolute than ever. He walked to the bedside and kissed his lover’s forehead.

"Brother Yu, I really am not close with Golden Chain. I did that because... because..." What could she do? At the critical moment, she couldn't even speak clearly. Why were the tears falling? Why was she crying? She hadn't even explained herself yet, so what was she crying for?

Countless questions buzzed in Li Zhishi’s brain like cicadas at the onset of summer, leaving him completely unaware that his pale expression was being observed by everyone.

"Good, you are truly a capable lieutenant of our Chen family. Remember, you cannot ask anyone else for help; otherwise, how will you prove your dedication to your brothers?"
