Volume 1, Chapter 53: Others Can Die, But You Are Not Allowed to Die

"This is rather hot to handle!" Qin Zhidong brushed his hair, a striking figure-seven shaped scar prominent on his forehead.

Du Feng was already preparing to take Wan Ting and leave. Over there, Yang Jiahui spoke up once again, blocking their path.

Seeing Liu Shichang draw a knife, Li Guozhu realized that Liu Shichang was mentally unstable and kept exchanging glances with Shi Hui. He hadn't expected Shi Hui to be so straightforward, and realizing the danger was immediate, Li Guozhu instinctively stepped forward to shield her.

Shi Hui pointed at the apartment door with a talisman paper pasted on it. Looking at the tattered talisman, this was likely the legendary haunted house. Ren Ci had no choice but to step forward, pick the lock, and push the door open. The apartment was fully furnished, but everything was covered in white sheets, giving it a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Shen Si entered the kitchen, tied on an apron, picked up a knife, and targeted the fish still flopping about in the sink.

Just as Huo Dongqing was thinking this, Lu Wanting had already slowly approached Du Feng.

The next moment, the bizarre magical treasure erupted with a beam of white light. Right before their eyes, it extracted the recorded images from the projection stone and released them into the air, transforming them into a curtain of light.

According to his calculations, if Sikong Xiu wanted to break through to the fourth rank of martial arts, it would take at least another half year.

Therefore, Guangchengzi of Taoyuan Cave on Jiuxiong Mountain and Chijingzi of Yunxiao Cave on Mount Taihua—two of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun—foresaw that the two princes were in danger and came to rescue them with the intention of taking them as disciples, only to arrive and find the nests empty. Yin Pobai and Lei Kai successively located the princes, but they were once again rescued by a mysterious person.

She hurried through several streets, which were swarming with soldiers searching for fugitives. The soldiers rampaged through Anle Town crudely, grabbing any passerby to compare their faces with the sketches in their hands, pushing them rudely to the ground when they didn't match.

...shares, becoming one of the shareholders so as to stir up trouble from within and cause a fracture in Raymond Chow's capital chain. Once his funding sources for supporting Cinema City and the Golden Princess Circuit were broken, it would be the golden opportunity for Feng Yifeng to make his move.

"Wait, wait! Li Jingyun, do you hear me?!" Pandora repeatedly called out via the communication signal to Li Jingyun and the others, receiving, naturally, no response.

"...You're really something. Are modern gangsters all this miraculous?" Li Jingyun was somewhat speechless. Veda seemed less like a former mobster and more like a secret agent.

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you slapping your own leg instead? Don't you know it hurts?" Rubbing the spot that had been slapped, he looked at his senior brother with a grievance-laden expression.

Several security guards formed a human wall at the entrance of the dressing room, blocking all reporters from pressing further inside and giving Teresa Teng a moment to catch her breath. Such a situation was truly unprecedented, all brought on by the rumors that she was about to switch record companies. Now she finally understood the relentless passion media reporters had for chasing news.

As the extremely yin fire just began to emerge, the fire-core flame reacted like a glutton encountering a delicacy, howling as it charged forward. Gu Feng suppressed it with all his might, his heart filled with doubt and apprehension. It seemed as though there was a resonance between the fires, and he constantly felt as though the extremely yin fire was staring right at him.

Jessa? Why are you flashing such a bright smile at me? If you harbor any illicit intentions toward me or my virtue, bring it on!

However, just as Chen Yufan was burning with anger and preparing to step forward to deal with them, a streak of black light suddenly pierced out from Fang Yun's abdomen. In the blink of an eye, the two men standing before Fang Yun closed their eyes and collapsed, fainting dead away.

To think that this bastard could manage to break into the first tier and become a king of scandals—one didn't know whether to praise his good fortune or applaud his incredible skill.

Puffs of blood mist continuously burst open and then vanished. The blood swords in Zheng Yi's hands grew larger and larger. Once the blood left the body, it could not be recovered and reused; even if condensed back into a liquid state, reclaiming it was akin to pouring water directly back into one's own veins.

Jinghong found this immensely novel—in both of her lives combined, she had never laid eyes on barbarians or the beast-kin race.

"Yao Xiwen, I don't feel like dealing with you today, but sooner or later, you will have to take responsibility for everything you've said today!" Duan Qing pointed blankly at Yao Xiwen and declared.

It was just that her arrogant expression was truly hard on the eyes. He Xi silently thought to herself that, all things considered, a paralyzed poker face was probably more handsome.

He transformed into a gust of black wind amidst the red laser array, letting the crimson beams—capable of easily slicing through armor—rage and gouge terrifyingly deep scars into the ground, completely unable to touch a single hair on him.

Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked upon these eight rare treasures. Anything deemed a rare treasure by a potion master was certainly extraordinary.

Zhaolu's eyes could not tear themselves away from the Black Sword, which was still slowly growing in size. Chen You's construction speed at this moment was something that even the combined efforts of the Sky Elephant's seven world-class masters could not hope to match. For the Wisdom Stars, who understood the intricacies of construction arts, what was happening in the distance was an unprecedented spectacle, and one that would never be seen again.

Qi Wanhai had a notoriously poor reputation within the circle. Whenever wives returned home, they would complain about Qi Wanhai, calling her sharp-tongued, mean-spirited, and dismissive of everyone. If not for her status as a member of the Yan family, no one would have given her a second glance; constrained by her identity, they could only endure her, offering superficial flattery while harboring utter contempt in private.

"Actually, you two don't need to worry too much right now. When I was leaving the school just now, I saw Zhao Chenyi leading a bunch of guys heading toward the sophomore building, though I have no idea what they were up to," Zhang Zisha blew out a ring of smoke and said slowly.

Zou Li swept his gaze across the scene. The demon cultivators were currently too powerful, and he had no wish to fight them head-on. Moreover, his initial objective had already been achieved. With a flash of his figure, he shouted loudly, "Ignorant monsters, we shall settle this another day. This True Man takes his leave!" With another flash, he soared into the sky and vanished at lightning speed.

Upon hearing that the reward had finally been issued, Zou Li was equally delighted, though he found the kingdom's bestowal of an island rather baffling! Still, receiving a reward was always a joyous occasion, so he hurried hastily toward the Elder Hall.

"Shut your mouth!" Grandpa shouted at Li Wenyanyan without a second thought, cutting him short and leaving him frustrated. Yet, considering what the doctor had just told him, he found it difficult to vent his anger further.

Clearly, this group of people had rushed over from the headquarters of the dark organization as reinforcements; they were members of no small standing.

"Bullshit! They definitely used those people as scapegoats so they could seize the chance to escape!" Chang Le immediately retorted with utter disdain.

Almost at the exact moment that the oversized hairtail fish landed on the back of the manta ray, the seemingly hard pair of horns on the manta ray's head suddenly shifted position, and then discharged two bolts of blue-tinged lightning directly at the hairtail fish resting on its back.
