Chapter 54: Transformation of the Beast God

“Honestly, shouldn’t I be thanking you all for rushing out like a swarm and saving me some time?”

Rachel’s eyes were a chaotic storm of demons and madness. Until now, her main adversaries had not been the vampires of Mullanksa; she had only heard vague rumors and occasionally seen some of their grotesque minions.

This was the first time she had witnessed such a disturbing scene.

These vampires toyed with their own flesh in ways almost beyond belief.

A sudden burst of over twenty soul-guiding devices radiated brilliant light. The power was astounding. Amid the intense roar, except for Zhou Sicheng and Cao Jinxuan in the center who ended the duel outright, everyone else hastily dodged sideways.

The two charged headlong; Cheng Yuanzhi swung his great blade first, aiming to strike Li Mu’s face. Li Mu blocked the blade with his long spear and exchanged several strikes with him. The two passed each other on horseback, and Bai Ziling seized the opportunity to parry the great blade, then executed a spinning spear strike that pierced Cheng Yuanzhi’s back.

Upon hearing Zhao Yun’s command, the Yulin Heavy Cavalry soldiers swiftly aimed their crossbows at the Han Zhong army’s archers, releasing three bolts from their bows. After firing empty, the cavalry slung their crossbows onto their horses’ backs and leaned forward to continue their charge.

Given all this, what Yu Le was doing here was extraordinarily perilous, and naturally…

“Contend for supremacy? Is his ambition truly that vast?” Fang Xiao stroked his chin thoughtfully, his eyebrows twitching slightly as he pondered the question.

But Wu Hao was oblivious, oversimplifying everything. Autumn, who retained memories from three lives, was unwilling to be just a mere sister.

In Xue Wusuan’s eyes, the 1.5 million lost souls before him were paradise, yet not being able to take them was hell.

Sure enough, before Chu Tian returned to the Li Group, Li Ruodan’s call had already come through.

“The police station isn’t under my jurisdiction. For now, I’ll withhold comment on Director Zhang, but this matter requires notification throughout the entire town,” Yang Ding stared blankly at Zhang Mu and said.

At this moment, the elderly couple, despite having their heads severed, still had muscles twitching on their faces, contorted in extreme agony, mouths agape and eyes wide open in obvious pain.

Although everyone present had their memories altered, the matter was too bizarre to avoid suspicion.

It turned out the ultimate cyborgs had already ascended with the elevator. If they were allowed onto the surface, the consequences would be dire beyond measure.

“That madman is Situ Bancheng. This ancient castle belongs to his family and supposedly has ties to the French royal family. The details are unverified, but he’s half a charlatan,” Li Chunxiao said without stopping, introducing the person behind him.

Li Ningfu nodded, then let Ziyi assist her with washing up. After breakfast, she suggested going for a walk and surprisingly ventured out of the front yard toward the back. Naturally, Ziyi didn’t stop her.

Jiao Lingxu’s gaze fixed on the spot ahead, his eyes filled with fear but even more so with sorrow.

Ye Xiaorou didn’t head toward the cosmetics counter but went to the luxury goods section instead, carefully examining the watches on display.

However, beyond surprise, he felt no excitement. Breaking through the realm only made returning to the lower world more difficult.

Yet entrusting Caixia to someone trustworthy was originally the wish of both Father and Mother Ke, wasn’t it?

Just yesterday, it was she who said they were mere acquaintances and repeatedly reminded Chen Qi to return promptly. Now that he had silently left, she was the one left feeling melancholic.

This attribute resembled Wang Yan’s closely, a key reason why Wang Yan inexplicably felt a strange closeness to Xia Yu.

She always wanted to share good things with him... every time she washed fruits for her, she insisted on eating together. Whenever netizens praised her, she’d happily bound over to boast. If she didn’t want to memorize lines, she’d cling to him, whining to be comforted.

The knocking outside grew more urgent. I hurried over to open the door and saw a nurse in white. I silently breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Lin Feng’s index finger tensed, and he immediately realized he had nearly slipped into fanaticism. Exhaling deeply, he quickly gathered his breath and focused.

According to the agreed schedule between Jiang Zhe and Lu Yunru, Lu Yunru could only barely apply a light makeup in haste.

It was only natural for the fugitive from a past life to have some savings. Hua Taotao didn’t understand why he had previously lived by hunting and hadn’t questioned the recent revelation of these possessions.

At the time, I angrily refuted her idea and urged her to receive proper treatment in the hospital without overthinking.

I felt as if a current of electricity surged swiftly through my body, burning me with numbness and clawing at my heart.

Even more provocatively, the window rolled down, and an insulting gesture was made at Jiang Zhe.

“Uh, I’m just a little unaccustomed, that’s all. By the way, you’re mine now. Does that mean you can’t call me ‘Lord Immortal’ anymore? Hehehe!” Chen Hao deliberately wore a sly grin, his face full of lecherous amusement.

Yan Xuan couldn’t help but smile. Though she agreed verbally, her gaze toward Luo Han remained deeply affectionate, as boundless as the three thousand weak waters.

Water Lai tried to stop them, and Yin Tianxing asked what was going on. But the senior brother was already being pulled toward the main gate, whispering something. Hu Chaoxian turned and solemnly patted Ba Shisi on the shoulder as if they were real brothers.

“Thanks, Father King, for your blessing,” the prince said, grasping Ruoli’s hand in delight, having long abandoned the banquet, heading toward the imperial garden with her.

After a full hour, the youth finally finished his tale. Normally cold and taciturn, his words sharp and chilling, he was used to barking orders at Baili Yue. But now, speaking of the past, he was moved, shedding his decade-long aloofness and pride.

He agreed in principle but doubted that Ruoli acting as the child’s godfather was feasible.

Acting cute? Uncle? Zi Qianye couldn’t fathom these terms but grasped the general idea.

Behind him, a figure hidden in the shadows emerged, launching a deadly attack.

As for why she dreamt of him, he had no idea. Dreams were the most wondrous things, impossible to explain in a few words.

If the requirements weren’t met, Liao Fan held the project leader accountable, not the captives! How captives were used depended on the leader’s decisions.

Although the first step of their promise was fulfilled—they found each other and fell in love—the challenge of evading the watchful eyes of the Olympian gods to escape together remained a distant yet very real dilemma.

Thinking about spending the next three and a half days with a wife he still barely understood, Lan Youming didn’t know what to feel in his heart.

On the eve of departure, upon learning that Karete had received the same mission and was assigned to his team, he sensed the operation wouldn’t go smoothly. Yet he never imagined the situation would spiral so far out of control.
