Chapter 37: The Monarch of Thunder and Lightning
"Everyone, be careful! The mother bear is about to go berserk. Fall back into formation and leave this to me."
Noticing the fluorescent points gathering on the mother bear’s form, a clear precursor to a surge of power, Yuwen Yue suddenly shouted.
The Nebula Bear’s massive frame sank, then vanished in a blur, reappearing instantly behind Yuwen Yue. A swift, powerful paw swiped out.
Yuwen Yue no longer suppressed the aura around him; a heaven-shaking demonic...
Not only did she refuse to show respect, but she also snatched the "Primordial Source Milk Crystal" right out of his hand, and even looked at him with a provocative gaze?
Watching the dazed Miaomiao before him, Xu Fan draped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Ying Hao was using the firecracker formula concocted by Chen Fei, which was purely for display; its power was insufficient to cause large-scale damage to enemies. How could it possibly compare to the authentic Thunderbolt Fire?
Because she had never imagined that there would be someone who liked the cold-blooded, ruthless "Venom That Seals the Throat," let alone the aloof Dandelion.
"Are you sure?" A flash of surprise flickered in Qin Tian’s deep, enigmatic eyes as he spoke thoughtfully.
Dongfang Yupi naturally did not know that the artifact spirit of the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd, in collusion with another strange, unknown girl, had swindled a significant amount of his energy points.
The corridor door opened after a few more seconds, and George walked out, looking unsettled. He paced the hallway, lost in thought, when suddenly he looked up and caught a glimpse of Gloria flashing around the corner.
He Tianju was, after all, a man from the East City; with Hao Zhendong gone, how could Chu Yang possibly regard him with any importance? Even if He Tianju rushed to Wu'ai Road, it would still take some time. That window was enough for Yang Haobo to bring his men and raze the restaurant to the ground.
It took a full ten breaths for the energy storm to dissipate completely. When it did, the figures within were all pale-faced, their bodies trembling.
No one knew how long it lasted before the ferocious hurricane began to subside. By then, there was no movement whatsoever from the ghost warriors within the gale.
Indeed, waiting like one who watches a tree stump for a rabbit was the best approach; it appeared natural and slightly more proactive, whereas any other method would seem forced and passive. Thus, Yu Jie’s movements were monitored by several of Xu Feng’s men who possessed keen investigative skills. Within three days, before Yu Jie could make his third visit to the Wu estate, he "coincidentally" bumped into Shi Bin at the antique market.
The first impression was fear, and the sense of mystery that still lingered to this day stemmed from one fact: she had no shadow. It was precisely because of this that Bei Mingxuan could not help but associate her with the Ghost Sect and the Ten Thousand Evil Ghost Ancestor.
Nangong Sijing finally furrowed her brows slightly. She felt the pressure—a chilling sensation brought on by an attack so powerful it transcended her own strength.
Naturally, one could not allow Shi Bin to act recklessly or toy with him, so Dong Songchen was dispatched to inquire about the reason. Shi Bin replied calmly: "It requires meticulous planning; I will report to Emperor Lizong once I have thought it through."
Whether by having Pan Jinlian take action or by exhaling a breath of Samadhi True Fire, they could easily be refined.
At this moment, Old Hu and the others had safely retreated to the storage room; those who had come down earlier had already left this place of trouble. Concerned for A-Ren, the group did not leave upon reaching the storage room, choosing instead to wait in silence.
Seeing her master remain silent about the matters concerning Situ and A-Ying, Fuling was puzzled. Just as she was about to speak, she was cut off by a low, resolute word from the "Dead Man Living Doctor."
Ian stared at Zhao Yuan, an unmarried gay man, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"This, this...!" Seeing this bizarre and terrifying scene, Song Fan backed away repeatedly, while Lin Tianheng’s face showed only an expression of disgust.
She had never cooked, nor was she gentle. Apart from a decent appearance, knowing how to seduce men, and possessing a bit of martial arts skill, she was useless in every other regard.
Old Madam Gu smiled, "We are all family; please don't be a stranger. I'm already making your portion, so just eat here." Only then did Xia Aidang stay.
Du Xiuying’s complexion turned from green to white, then from white to red, and finally, it became as dark and terrifying as a spilled bottle of ink. Coupled with the madness radiating from her—a desire to drag everything unsightly into hell to drown with her—it filled anyone who saw her with fear and apprehension.
Damn it, this bunch of idiots actually listened to him; an orc immediately rushed up, brandishing a large iron hammer.
Of all the people who dared to show attitude toward Lu Zhanbei and still be tolerated, Mo Jiushang was definitely the first, aside from Lin Wanwan.
For a moment, Lin Wanwan panicked. Her fingers trembled slightly as she checked Mu Ge’s breath, and only then did her tightly strung heart relax a little.
Zhang Maoling personally stepped forward to lecture, "Disciples, listen closely. Everyone knows the situation these past two days is special. I can tell you frankly: there are demonic evils that wish to destroy our Tianshi Dao."
Although everyone had booked their tickets for today, each team member was returning to a different location, so some had departures in the morning, some at noon, and others late at night.
In Xue Ling’s view, who in this life hasn't made a fool of themselves? The strong do it, and the weak, naturally, do it too. Besides, she, Xue Jianping, and Du Xiuying had always lived by the principle of "minding one's own business."
Seeing that the basketball was about to be swiped from his right hand, Geng Haoshi immediately activated the "Unstoppable" dunk reward.
Lin Tianxu did not hesitate. With a flip of his right hand, three round, rice-yellow pills appeared in his palm, carrying a faint medicinal halo and a wisp of fragrance that made one feel refreshed just by smelling it.
Gu Yue was very certain of her judgment, which made Xiao Yu narrow his eyes. He concluded that what the Zhao Emperor was about to do must be very important. However, the Zhao Emperor’s expulsion of the Inspection Division had been very hasty. What exactly had prompted him to do so?
In truth, the Hawksbill Turtle had merely induced a "dream of the yellow millet" after she fell asleep that night. Only a fool would jump into a fire pit knowing it was one. Furthermore, that marriage of convenience held no love, no wealth, and no happy ending; what was there to hesitate about? Everyone knew how to choose.
While the surface reason given was very high-sounding, Suixin still felt very sweet inside, secretly holding his hand during class.
Outside the barracks, those few messenger warriors had already passed through the city gates again, returning inside before the guards could react to what had happened.
Since then, she had relied on scavenging for a living. She looked much older than other seventy-year-olds, and her health was poor.
She told him that she had long decided to betray the Oda clan and had joined them only to seek revenge on Oda Nobunaga. However, he was an outsider from Kai, after all; she did not know if he had intricate ties to the Takeda clan or other forces, unlike Amano Kage-nori and Naoe Tadahira, whom she could trust unconditionally.
Behind the tree, Ye Wanwan watched the two eat the cake, a crazed arc spreading across her lips as she smiled in triumph.
