Chapter 38

Chopin was also watching him. Just as he was about to walk toward him, a hand suddenly reached out from his side and wrapped around him.

As a level-four life form, the Crocodile King possessed an extraordinary instinct for danger. Sensing it acutely, it opened its eyes and scanned the area above.

"I don't want to be too ruthless. First, kneel and apologize. Second, hand over your storage rings. I can forgive the grave mistake you've made this time. I might even let you pass through," the burly man said with great smugness.

"Damn traitorous ninja, what have you done to Lord Danzo?" Immediately, several Anbu ninjas, who seemed to be struggling in the ranks, jumped out to profess their loyalty and curry favor.

Just then, three earth-shattering roars erupted from the vast lake beneath their feet. A second later, three enormous dragon claws burst through the water, striking toward Xue Xue with the terrifying momentum of a thunderbolt.

Kuang Zhantian’s brother, the other blond man who had been standing with him, looked younger and possessed a slightly weaker aura. His name was Kuang Zhanwu.

Although he could have chosen to melt a tunnel directly through the ground using the intense heat of the autumn sun, the soil in this interrogation room had been reinforced with ninjutsu and high-grade materials, making it frustratingly difficult to melt.

This innate supernatural ability was closely linked to the cultivation level of a Frost Titan. Those with profound cultivation could easily freeze level-seven life forms and even lock space itself. Coupled with the Frost Titan's terrifying strength, this allowed them to defy the laws of the universe and challenge opponents of higher ranks.

This earth-shattering scene startled the charging mercenary corps, causing them all to halt their advance.

Xue Xue was bewildered, but his mind flashed back to the moment the Winged Serpent had vomited blood and been sent flying backward. Could it be that he had triggered a backlash from my own attack while attempting to probe my soul?

It turned out this was a body-refining technique, and a high-level one at that. The more Wu Xi read, the more astonished he became. The Void Body-Refining Manual was divided into nine levels; the first three were relatively simple and could be resolved by the technique itself, but by the fourth to sixth levels, the required materials were things Wu Xi had never even heard of.

Looking at the numb attitudes of the shareholders present, Shu Yumo seemed to smell the scent of decay—a sign of a company in its mid-to-late stages of development, one that turned a blind eye to its internal problems while remaining self-satisfied, teetering on the edge of collapse.

"Then... what would you like me to do, Grand Commander?" Liu Zhuang’s heart surged with excitement. In the blink of an eye, his compensation had doubled or tripled. Was he truly under a lucky star today, having met such a noble benefactor? He bowed his waist so low that he nearly formed an upright arch.

A thought stirred in Li Zicheng’s mind: could he involve the infantry? If they had a chance to participate, the massive range advantage of their rifles would allow them to cut down the Tatars while simultaneously reducing the casualties of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

The next morning, Shu Yumo saw the equity transfer agreement for the Lianxin Group between the Liang family and Tian Liansheng; she smiled but said nothing.

"I understand!" After saying this firmly and seeing Victor separate from Leomon X, Scott continued to attack Leomon X with his beams.

After speaking, Sasha stood up, ready to leave. No one made a move to stop her, for everyone had realized she was a capricious person who did not care about matters unrelated to her, and she likely possessed a certain level of strength.

"It is indeed rather strange." Xu Yin nodded in casual agreement. Without stopping, she walked straight to the Core Formation Elder leading the sect's party and respectfully offered her storage bag with both hands.

"It’s fine if I don't go tomorrow. Everything has already been settled anyway; it’s enough for Mom and Dad to go with you. But when you get back, you must secretly remind them to prepare themselves. You have to guard against someone trying to trap you tomorrow. Don't let yourselves slip up and give the game away by confessing before you're even questioned," Zhang Weiqiang reminded him with a smile.

The problem was that Li Zicheng first had to gain control of this army, and then preserve his own strength during the upcoming battles against the Mongols.

Qin Hao wanted to choose Jiang Xing as his opponent—a fact that even his master, Situ Minglang, found hard to believe.

Furthermore, we are talking about the True Realm, which is a level higher than the Cultivation Realm! They are all beings who have 'Merged with the Dao'! At the moment of death, as long as they 'merge' with a low-level, simple Dao, they become 'Gods.' Do Gods die?

Tang Yun tried hard to recall what he had been wearing during his duel with Xu Zheng or when he and Wei Songping had worked together to kill Xu Yuan. His clothes had been stained with blood; although most of it was his own, some might have been splattered from Xu Zheng or Xu Yuan.

"Anyway, I have work to do. By the way, don't take Che Ruier's behavior to heart later. That's just how she is—accustomed to being overbearing. You are a guest today, and Che Jiahe is home, so she shouldn't be too excessive toward you; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to this," Ye Yijun said.

After that engagement banquet, she had truly given up after talking with her brother, feeling that there was no possibility between her and He Shigui.

Sleeping directly on the sofa in the middle of winter, even with the heating on, the chill would still creep in. Prone to feeling the cold, she curled her body into a ball.

Compared to the venom of the Thorn Green Python King, the poison shot from this precious vase was not worth mentioning.

Her beautiful master had disappeared without a trace, and the only direction she could investigate was that of her uncle’s family.

The long sword in her hand swung with increasing resolve, or perhaps it was that Numelia no longer intended to leave this place alive. That was simply unrealistic.

In the meditation room, those few elders saw Wang Xiuwei’s hand seals, and their expressions grew even more solemn.

Worm and the other two stared blankly at the Saga before them. That’s right, it wasn't Zero; it was a genuine Saga.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Xingbang was a man of debauchery who did nothing but waste his time. It was only because the Ye family was wealthy and powerful enough to withstand his squandering that he hadn't already brought ruin upon his household.
