Chapter 56
Hearing this, the short man cast a sidelong glance with a pair of sinister, cobra-like eyes at the tall man, his heart growing increasingly suspicious! Come to think of it, this operation was going far too smoothly; he couldn't help feeling that something major was about to go wrong.
Meanwhile, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, inexplicably dragged into the conversation, was beating a nervous drum in his heart. He had no wish to inherit the imperial throne so soon; he still wanted to take another trip abroad for scholarly travels before his grand wedding.
When Huang Zitao had just stepped off the plane, the elders here had contemplated throwing him a welcome banquet, but none expected that Huang Zitao would call an emergency meeting right away. Next came the demand for the elders to set up an office and lounge for him at the local branch, followed immediately by breakneck, desperate work.
Before he could finish his sentence, he dashed away in a flash, bolting out the door. Who knew when he had actually managed to pop his dislocated leg back into place?
Even if all your physical nerves were completely necrotic and your heart stopped beating, the quantum brain could still keep your body functioning normally. Combined with supreme computing power and one-hundred-percent accurate execution, this was the definition of perfection in the eyes of Alan Keane.
That night, Qiu Suya slept exceptionally soundly. Mo’s embrace wrapped around her like a warm stove; until her icy hands and feet were warmed through, he continued to hold her tightly, wishing he could melt her entire body into his very heart.
"Is Earth really this terrifying nowadays?" Star-Lord looked at Tony, pointing at Yasuo outside, asking. This was vastly different from the Earthlings of his impression.
His partner Guerrero continued, "Getafe lost 1:2 at home to Athletic Bilbao in the previous round of the league, and they currently sit 12th in the standings with 14 points."
She looked at Mo An, who could not answer a single one of the accusations she leveled against him. Over all these years, she had wanted to live well, she had wanted to attain everything. Yet in the end, she attained nothing and possessed nothing. It was all simply because of her fear and her cowardice.
"Uh." Mo Ziqian had originally just been puzzled as to how she came to be here. He had even forgotten that he had made up his own excuse to slip out. Caught off guard by Leng Moxi's question, he froze as well.
Aside from the disparity in numbers on both sides, even their weapons were in completely different leagues. If a shootout were to actually break out, the lives of him and his hundreds of brothers would all be forfeited right here.
Approximately twenty minutes later, near the S City University villa district, a taxi slowly came to a halt at the main gates.
When Ye Tian saw this surge of sword qi, his gaze sharpened. He stared at it solemnly, calculating that the power of this sword qi was comparable to the peak of the mid-stage Qi Condensation realm. This was only because Liu Bin was using his fingers as a sword; if he had used a real sword, its power would have been equivalent to the late Qi Condensation realm.
If the ones trying to kill Guo Lingnian and the others were ordinary immortal cultivators, they might indeed have been able to flee for their lives. Unfortunately, the person hunting them was Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng had mastered the Dao of Space; with the distance Guo Lingnian and the others had put between them, a single 'Shooting Star Chasing the Moon' technique would allow him to arrive instantly.
Upon hearing Cao Yi's words, far from relaxing, the thin man's face became plastered with terror.
Ye Tian watched as Luoli held the Marrow Cleansing Pill in her hands, kneading it back and forth as if she found it immensely amusing, at least judging by the crescent-moon curves of her eyes.
One must bear in mind that the cultivation techniques Ye Tian had activated right now numbered three types of spiritual power. By his estimation, he might even be able to put up a fight against someone of the Earth realm.
The Chaos Divine Cult believed that all things in the universe originated from chaos and would inevitably return to chaos in the end.
In an instant, a howling storm erupted, and the world seemed to spin upside down! Wanying had no idea what kind of expression she wore right now, but she knew it must look utterly foolish and stupid! Because the man before her was already grinning from ear to ear! After half an incense stick's worth of time wandering in a fairyland trance, Wanying slowly recovered her wits. Flustered in her heart, she plastered on a smile that was fake to the extreme.
Seeing Daigo return safely, Captain Gama Kazama also revealed a long-absent smile. Everyone was still here, and nothing could be better than this.
Xiyang teased lightly, while Di Ba's face flushed red. He cast a guilt-ridden glance at Di Junyang, then looked at Xiyang and several companions who had shared days and nights together laughing until their shoulders shook, making him feel all the more that he had failed the profession of a shadow guard.
Hearing this, Jia Ye and Shan Guiyao's lips twitched faintly. Was this a reminder that just recently, they had been thoroughly beaten up by the Evil Monarch Lin?
Everyone had actually thought that tiger was alive! But upon closer inspection, they realized that the tiger was being carried on someone's shoulder.
Her second sense told her that this man was simply too terrifying; even if she used all her strength, she would no minister be a match for him.
She did not get up to search for him, continuing to lie there like a dead corpse, her gaze somewhat hollow as she stared at the pristine white ceiling.
Li Xiaoxiao followed Bai Qinghua out from the Sect Master's quarters, and the moment they stepped out of the grand hall, she could not help laughing out loud.
"Forget it, take this!" The Sect Master tossed him an ancient booklet, one that recorded some rare spirit beasts.
The tiger had its teeth and claws broken in the blink of an eye. Unable to bear the pain and recognizing the opponent's terrifying strength, it whimpered and backed away in a panic.
From then on, every morning Nan Yao would receive a "good morning" greeting from Yi Junfa, and the same in the evening, calling her all sorts of pet names like "baby" and "sweetheart," making her feel as though she had fallen into a honey pot.
Yi Junfa unceremoniously interrupted Nan Yao's words. In truth, he understood Nan Yao's meaning all too well, but in this kind of situation, he had no choice but to corner her and seize the initiative, lest he end up having to humble himself to coax her later.
