Volume 1, Chapter 33: Rescued and Captured

A wall of water, hundreds of meters high, crashed down upon Island 9-22 with the unstoppable force of a thunderbolt.

"Please, come in," Gong Yang said with the polished, gentlemanly air of a hotel doorman.

It could be said that John Cena and Randy Orton were the most affected by HHH’s departure; they had been blindsided by his cheating scandal, costing them their chance to win the Royal Rumble.

As a professional gamer with a decade of experience, Sherlock should have been well-versed in role-playing games, yet after listening to the rules just once, he felt completely bewildered.

"Everyone, settle down and hear me out. I’m sure this is all just a misunderstanding. My old woman just has a sharp tongue that rubs people the wrong way; don’t hold it against her." After delivering these placating words, he turned to face Ye Jing.

Pegasus Hammer also grinned, his eyes leering hungrily at the Tycoon’s Divine Pearl.

No, he would not let her leave, not to vanish from his life like this. The thought of living alone from here on out was worse than dying together.

Liu Chiyan was wearing a gown that evening. Yeguang stood up to help her to her feet, holding her hand until they reached the stairs leading to the stage, before turning back to give the audience yet another public display of affection.

A look of hesitation crossed Ye Mei’s face, but out of respect for their marriage, she found it hard to refuse and nodded, steeling herself.

Does Dad snore when he sleeps? How did I not know that! Yeguang learned something new: apparently, his father was a snorer.

"Brother Fei, I was overthinking it, please don’t mind me." Yun Tianze, realizing his words might have sounded exclusionary, apologized to Yun Yifei.

This rift of yin energy had been opened inadvertently and could not be sustained for long. If Liu Zhi channeled the energy out, he might be able to establish a ghost realm in the short term, but reopening such a passage later would prove difficult.

He dragged them up and threw them straight off the fourth floor. Ruthless and sparing no words, he left everyone trembling; even the people on the fourth floor were shaking in their boots, not daring to breathe too loudly for fear of catching the attention of this malevolent spirit.

Thus, the disciples lounged, sat, chatted, or meditated, waiting for the fires in the cavern to die down so they could seal the cave and return to the mountain to report their mission.

Seeing Old Master Wu’s greedy expression, everyone burst into laughter before picking up their bowls and chopsticks to eat.

Da Hong stood by the car door, smoking, craning his neck to watch the plane climb past the skyscrapers and bank toward the south.

I forgot; he is now a cold-blooded demon who kills without batting an eye. What are gouging out eyes or disfiguring faces to a man like him?

Thoughts flashed through Liu Zhi’s mind. He recalled the strange legends of the East, remembering that the place known as the Loess Plateau was, in fact, once a vast forest.

The sounds of punches and kicks drifted over. Following Kitagawa’s instructions, Asamiya Hitomi kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to let out a single breath.

Upon hearing Zhang Feng’s words, Hou Yuan felt a surge of fury, deeming Zhang Feng far too arrogant.

Just as he was seized by terror, the scream of the Silver Flood Dragon Immortal echoed from the darkness once more. His life force flickered intermittently for a moment before vanishing entirely.

Just as Fang Han was enveloped by the Black Sun Wind Disaster, spun violently like a grindstone, and trapped as the power sought to shatter his defenses and extinguish his life, a cold, clear voice rang out.
