Chapter 44

"Why didn't you tell me the truth when I first came in?" I voiced the question lingering in my heart.

I bit my finger, writing the character for "fire" in the empty air, and then pushed my palm forward, pressing the fiery character toward those branches.

Not only the man who was a two-star Doujun, but the four who entered right after him were also left somewhat stunned.

However, just as Li Xiangjun's palm began to move again, Lin Tianya's expression suddenly shifted violently, and he once again grabbed her wrist.

Naturally, Zhuang Yi became friends with most of the Sakairas and exchanged contact information. Among them, a few held great fondness for him, such as the Chinese-speaking Sakaira Zhuang Yi had first encountered, as well as a police officer and a soldier.

With that, she lunged toward my mouth. Frightened, I turned my face away to dodge, but she didn't stop there. She proceeded to kiss my neck while directly sliding one hand into my shirt to grope around.

"Her Divine Devil Physique belongs to the ancient gods and devils, incomparable to those of the present era. If you accept the Divine Devil Physique and achieve the ultimate divine devil form, your strength will recover instantly, and perhaps even ascend to a higher realm," the Lord of Darkness looked at me and said.

Just as I was about to ask her the purpose of her visit, I was deeply struck by that stubborn and unyielding expression of hers.

The icicle carried no intimidating momentum, and I caught it with my palm. Strangely enough, the moment I took hold of it, the icicle melted directly into my body without causing the slightest bit of discomfort.

Elder Lin naturally could not sit idly by and hurriedly reported the situation upward, hoping the government would step in to curb this trend and preserve a shred of vitality for the Tianlong Group.

No, this weapon is far too weak. I need something much more powerful! What's available? What's available? In the nick of time, a flash of inspiration struck Mu Yu's mind. His gaze narrowed, and he immediately put away the AK-47.

Reflected in his eyes was Zhan Feihong's face. The village doctor's trembling hands gripped Feihong's shoulders in deep agitation, shaking him forcefully.

Elder Zhao, Zhao Ling'er, and Kexin were all waiting for him, having already received the news of victory. Seeing Ling Tian walk in covered in blood, their hearts swelled with intense emotion as they gazed at him.

"I have no regrets. After sacrificing my soul, I will become Lord Mellon's most loyal servant, bound through life and death without ever turning back. Should I harbor any betrayal in my heart, may my soul burn away and be denied reincarnation for eternity!" Nodding, Rubio spoke with resolute determination.

Yet when she turned her gaze toward Zhan Feihong, she found him surveying the trees on both sides with a thoughtful expression.

Ouyang Bingbing placed a bouquet of fresh flowers by the bedside, while Lin Ling set down some fruit and provisions. The two women sat by Ergouzi's bed. Ouyang Bingbing tenderly took Ergouzi's hand, her eyes welling up with tears as she found herself momentarily speechless.

The television news was broadcasting a press conference. Facing reporters from various provinces and cities, Bureau Chief Wang stood high-spirited and passionate, occasionally raising his bandaged hand to show off as he spoke with flying spittle, declaring his determination to use iron-fisted methods to crack down on criminals, fighting to the very end even if it cost him his life.

"Lord Liu, I don't quite understand your meaning. I ask that you speak plainly!" Gao Feiling coldly replied.

The "Flying Dragon Division" was established in Flying Dragon City, with Zhang Flying Dragon as the Division Commander, Jia Flying Dragon as the Deputy Commander, and Cao Flying Dragon as the Vanguard.

Mount Daqing was different from Wild Boar Mountain. The latter was infested with fierce beasts such as wild boars, wolves, and eagles, posing a grave threat to wild pheasants and eggs. On Mount Daqing, aside from a few venomous snakes, large beasts were rarely seen.

In front of the cave entrance stood a suspended large earthenware vat with a fire burning underneath. The vat was filled with various medicinal herbs and creatures like snakes and scorpions. The medicinal decoction inside had boiled down to a paste-like consistency, turning a greenish hue and emitting an intensely foul odor capable of knocking someone unconscious.

Before coming, I could roughly imagine the appearance of this holy couple, but seeing them in person, to be honest, was still somewhat unexpected.

The other two also nodded. They understood precisely what Zhuge Liang meant: the strength of Huaxia remained far too overpowering. Neither this fourth-generation Promuoyi nor this Yimo possessed a proper estimation of it. Blind arrogance and blind actions were perhaps the most tragic things of all.

That wasn't even the most important part. What mattered was that once those people slept with Murong Shishi, they became completely dependent on her, treating everyone else with cold indifference.

For the Wu clan, having already swallowed the bitter pill of Kuafu's unprovoked murder, they could under no circumstances endure the deaths of five Great Ancestral Witches, including Houyi.

On the other side, the Jieyin Saint also realized that this trip had indeed been somewhat reckless; rescuing his junior brother, the Zhunti Saint, appeared rather unrealistic.

The wound was struck by immense force, instantly spewing a column of blood that splattered directly onto a nearby tree trunk.

Yan Biluo was filled with shame and anger. She immediately stretched out two fingers and plucked the strings. Instantly, a streak of cyan spiritual energy and a streak of black spiritual energy shot fiercely toward Li Zhiyuan.

Yet Guo Liyuan was utterly carefree. Accustomed to interacting with me, she fancied herself on very familiar terms and took it upon herself to bring other sisters into my palace to play.

After listening to these accounts, I no longer forcefully kept the boy. Before he left, I gave him an address and instructed him to remember to look for me if he ever found himself with nowhere else to turn.

Hearing Bell ask this, I suddenly understood one thing: only Ningzi and I had witnessed that scene just now, while Bell hadn't seen a thing at all.

"What are you going to the Spirit-Guarding Sect for? I've already sent people to support you at Misty Island; I believe they will arrive before long," the cloaked elder said, suppressing his anger.

The blood-tail state indeed integrated Crimson Feather and spirit-channeling, but the burden of the crimson wings was borne by Qiongqi's soul. In other words, the resonance hurricane unleashed by Ling Zihuan was entirely the power of Qiongqi.

She pressed her body against him without the slightest intention of helping. Whether she was acting foolish and silly or simply a bit dim-witted, her lovely eyes carried a silly smile—neither quite mocking nor quite contemptuous—leaving Li Zhou completely at a loss as to what to make of her.

Not daring to delay, I quickly found an open space to drop him, retrieved my coin sword, and chopped some nearby branches to pile onto him. Then I ignited the branches and retreated to the side. Watching the fire spread toward the corpse, I let out a slight sigh of relief; at least we had made it in time.
