Chapter 55

Meanwhile, the massive snow falcon also soared high into the sky, standing ready to assist its master at any moment.

Without the slightest evasion, the man let out a wild roar and crashed directly into the Eight-Trigrams Exquisite Pagoda. A bizarre transformation occurred: the collision produced no sound whatsoever; instead, the ball of light suddenly contracted into a massive luminous sphere that pressed down heavily upon the man's head, resembling a massive boulder bearing down with crushing weight.

Shen Feng had been staring fixedly at the Divine Lord's face. Seeing that spine-chilling smile, he shuddered all over and instantly snapped back to his senses. Realizing that Shen Ye was now less than ten meters away from the Divine Lord, he was so terrified that his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

Liu Yi and Liu Hao Nan practiced the same lineage of cultivation techniques, but Liu Yi's imposing aura was more than a hundred times stronger than Liu Hao Nan's. With a casual movement, he could summon a heaven-shaking sea of fire. Moreover, unlike Liu Hao Nan, what Liu Yi condensed was true, genuine flame—this was the power of the laws mastered by experts of the Profound Extreme Realm.

The Underworld King's tone was fraught with anger and helplessness, clearly harboring a deep dread toward the master of that uncanny power. Otherwise, given his status as a supreme ruler of a realm, how could he possibly humble himself to such an extent?

Although the contestants outside the arena could not see what Zhao Yan was doing within the toxic miasma, Shanke inside the arena and Lingke outside could see it clearly. Never had they imagined that this fellow would actually start urinating right inside the poisonous fog! No matter how urgent the call of nature was, surely he didn't need to relieve himself right in the middle of a match?

This courtyard had indeed once been used to grow vegetables and flowers. After pulling up all the weeds, many overgrown and twisted vegetable plants remained, looking rather like wild greens. It seemed they would still be edible for another month or so. The two of them smiled in pleasant surprise, finding yet another glimmer of hope for their survival.

The lockdown of Zhaoyang City for three days had a profound impact on the lives of the common people. Many citizens had rushed to buy high-priced grain to hoard, and now that prices had dropped back down, they deeply regretted it. They wanted to sell them off at a loss, yet couldn't bear to part with them; but if they didn't sell, they felt as though their active cash had been tied up as dead money, leaving them at a loss.

Zhao Yun found this quite strange and asked, "Didn't Zhang Xiu die a hero defending the nation against the Japanese pirates long ago? Why are his banners flying here? Could it be...?" Zhao Yun had already guessed what was going on.

The two remained silent for a while. Because they were bound together by a rope, Zhao炎 had no choice but to follow her as she looked around here and strolled about there.

Asami had no intention of returning to her old line of work. After all, even though she and her companions had acquired legal identities, those identities had been purchased with money, and if anyone cared to investigate, flaws would inevitably be exposed.

It was precisely such a boy that Lily found herself deeply infatuated with. She did not know what was happening to her; could this be the feeling of love? At this thought, Lily's pretty face flushed slightly. To think she would have such thoughts—it truly was rare.

A young rogue cultivator beside Chi Shaofeng spoke up, a gloating smile hanging on the corners of his lips.

Every single move and stance of theirs was terrifyingly lethal—or rather, entirely designed to put the opponent to death.

"I never expected Snow Lady to feel anything for me; I simply wish to treat Snow Lady well!" Gao Jianli said.

"Hey, I'll be your opponent." Lü Lingqi walked over to Guan Ping, pointed at him, and issued a challenge.

In particular, Jiuzhou and Zhou Yan were so excited that they posted on Weibo every single day. Rumor had it that thanks to this incident, Master Jiuzhou's health had recovered nicely and he had already been discharged from the hospital. Furthermore, the acquisition price paid for the firm was said to be quite substantial—five million to buy them out.

This impact left Yuan Yao dizzy and disoriented. He had just heard the warning shout from his bodyguard when he turned his head and saw the precious sword in Liu Rui's hand flying straight toward his head after being hurled. The sword hurtled directly at him.

"Thank you, Mother." Muyun gulped down the medicinal broth, trying his best to appear somewhat energetic, as he knew this was what his mother loved to see most.

When all was said and done, it was a limitation of performance. If Bai Yu could also fight in ultra-low temperatures, his existing combat power might well multiply several times over.

Qin Lang had always admired Luo Zhan, and now his admiration reached new heights. He never imagined Luo Zhan could think so far ahead; simply the idea of raising deer would allow the villagers to taste the sweetness of success, prompting them to feel grateful to Luo Zhan and naturally treat his family favorably.

Ye Fei did not reply. He really did not want to bother with Feng Ming. If not for him, he and the blazing firebird would not have been separated for so long, nor would there be this so-called duel and the so-called wager today.

The gambling den had gone out of business, but Tao Bao, keeping these chains of cause and effect in mind, directly took over the venue and opened a KTV together with the former owner of the gambling den. Through clever promotion and its unique decorative ambiance, in less than half a year it became the second-largest landmark in Huacheng.

"The time of life and death hasn't arrived just yet. For now, you can try communicating with the other shareholders and directors to sound out their stance. If you can secure the support of the majority, even your father as the majority shareholder will have to compromise," Qin Yu said with narrowed eyes.

Attaching the silver needle to the test tube, she raised the assembled syringe in her hand and pierced it into the tent. Slowly pushing the thumb downward, the purple mist inside the test tube gradually drifted out along the needle.

Imagining that scene, everyone involuntarily shivered. That truly was somewhat terrifying. Just think: if a cultivator were entangled by a vine, their instinctive reaction would be to slash it apart.

The voice from the walkie-talkie echoed throughout the entire villa. President Zhang, located on the second floor, naturally heard it as well.

Nan Zhiqiao watched the staff member's movements while placing a pre-prepared detailed catalog onto the table.

Yet no matter how much coercion or enticement they used, these people remained completely unmoved, which also filled their hearts with intense annoyance.

Yet, looking at the handsome and refined appearance of that young man, they simply could not connect him with a terrifying existence.

"Alright, since it's like this, then thank you all!" When others were so enthusiastic, declining further would only seem affected, so Liu Hao spoke up directly with a smile.

Bai Xinyi's complexion was still rather poor, and a distinct trace of bloodshot veins was visible in her eyes. Anyone could tell she certainly hadn't slept well last night.

The Nine-Heavy Crouching Tiger Force was primarily based on leg techniques—kicks, whip kicks, axe kicks, and all manner of leg skills were fully accommodated. However, the Nine-Heavy Crouching Tiger Force also encompassed fist strikes and elbow blows, and could furthermore channel its nine successive layers of hidden force into weaponry. Truly, it was the martial skill she relied upon most heavily for the remainder of her life.

Though he had been severely beaten by Liu Hao, Yang Jie still subconsciously believed that Liu Hao posed no threat whatsoever to the Wu family, and thus he completely dismissed Liu Hao's words.
