37 Outshining the Spotlight
The fireball formed from celestial energy is a fire that inherently suppresses the dark, frigid aura; one cannot recover from such a scorching for at least half a year.
Observing his physical and mental state at the time, it did not appear that he had been subjected to the inhumane torture of Unit 731. This left him utterly bewildered, as he also firmly believed in one thing: he certainly had not been bought off by the Japanese; otherwise, why would he not have betrayed him along with the others?
These words awakened the group, who were mourning the tragic death of Namesha. Yao was right; now was not the time for sorrow. Only by bringing Jim, that heinous villain, to justice could they truly pay their respects and shed tears for Namesha’s passing.
Hongye’s teeth chattered, and her trembling hands gripped Feng Wan’s tightly; the wrinkled sensation of his skin brought her a sense of relief.
"Do not look at me like that. I said five years, and it shall be five years. I will not give you even a day more. Perhaps, in the end, it is you who will be unwilling to leave!" Mu Danzhu put away the two sheets of paper and said indifferently.
Mu Danzhu did not care about his inner thoughts. A head of a household who cannot even protect his own son—what use is he?
After returning to the Lu family in the countryside, she felt quite content, and a bright, radiant smile graced her face.
Whether he won or Triumph won, the strength of one side would inevitably be weakened. When that time came, their Hurricane Adventure Group might well find an opportunity to exploit.
Whether it was Xi’er or Huisheng... what they would face in the future would only be more terrifying than this scene, and far more complex than today’s situation.
After clearing out several waves of Dark Iron Dwarves, a new boss appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Lin Jie nearly fell off his griffin upon hearing this; he was so accustomed to his "old driver" manner of speaking that he had forgotten Ling’er was among the audience.
"I will raze the city of Troy to the ground, then submerge it so it cannot surface for five thousand years! Then I shall go to Mount Olympus myself and ask Zeus if I may slaughter all of his sons!" Thetis was filled with consuming hatred.
Odin took the wine cup and felt a strange fragrance fill his senses. It seemed that after just one whiff, his entire body felt invigorated.
Just as Shi A chose his cover, the civilians around the street finally reacted, screaming as they fled in all directions. At that moment, the assassins emerged from various positions. Dressed in different attires, there were at least ten of them, though based on the previous count of arrows, there should still be two or three hidden in the shadows.
"The others have left, why are you still here?" In his presence, Chang’e could never maintain her cold demeanor; she glared at him fiercely before turning her gaze toward Zhen Yuanzi.
The current Independent Brigade of Mount Damei consisted of veterans from Guangdong and the Northeast, but the majority were bandits. To expect them to fight for the protection of the civilians of Mount Damei would be far too naive.
Fang Guyu took a moment to slip out of the hall and find Yan Hanlu’s quarters. For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong urge to see him, wanting to know what that arrogant man would look like now that his patron was dead and he himself was severely wounded.
Lin Qingquan sighed; his mind was truly too dull. Was there any need to cooperate with such a "pig teammate"? He feared that in the end, he wouldn’t be killed by an opponent, but by this idiot instead.
"Die!" Ran Deng spoke coldly. Ten thousand dragons surged like a sea, swimming densely toward the Monkey and his companions. The momentum was terrifying, enough to make one’s soul tremble.
Yet he also knew that his elder brother must have had some unspeakable hardship; otherwise, he would not have kept it from him for so long.
Old Man Fang, who had been calling out for a long time, was none other than Fang Hai. Holding Yuanyuan in one arm and carrying the borrowed items in the other, he left without looking back.
Qin Yun and Jia Xuan looked at the multiplication table before them, as excited as children who had just received new toys.
Wen Yi gritted her teeth in hatred. It seemed that no matter how she screamed, even until her throat was parched, that wretched man would never be satisfied.
Watching Xu Yue stumble toward the bedroom, Lin Fei gave a wry smile, shook his head, and sat down on the sofa.
Suddenly, Lin Fei turned his head and saw that outside, thick smoke had already begun to billow.
Seeing that everyone had already disappeared from view, a man suddenly reacted.
Pushing open the dormitory door, Lin Fei saw Xu Bin watching television in the living room. It was only ten o'clock, and it was not yet time for Xu Bin to rest.
"What is your take on the Yanbei Alliance between the two countries?" Upon hearing Sun Qitian’s words, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, appearing somewhat surprised.
She did not dare to arrive right on time, fearing it would disturb the elegance of others, so she always delayed until daybreak. Only after confirming that the Red Flag car had been driven away did she return to push open the door of Dijing Bay.
Wang Yao and the old man stood as if frozen, staring intensely at each other. Across the entire highland, the dense fog was the only dynamic background, churning incessantly.
"Damn it, I had diarrhea during the high school entrance exam, and I failed!" A sense of defiance lingered on that youthful face.
In truth, this was already very difficult for Lan Jing’er; one could even say it went against her very nature.
With a muffled thud, the chiliarch fell heavily to the ground, rolling several meters due to the remaining momentum. He then collapsed, coughing and gasping violently. Although his life was not in immediate danger, he had temporarily lost his ability to fight.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up. Once they lost the Immortal Poppy flowers, the spirit beasts in their hands would become their own executioners; they could solve a major problem without drawing a drop of blood.
Qian Wu’s words stunned Chu Haotian. He had originally only meant to tease her, but who would have thought she would be willing to forsake herself for the sake of her people?
This Kexi was someone even Omi treated with three parts respect, yet this time they had sent Kexi himself. They were truly daring; they only feared Kexi would not submit to him.
After exiting the room, we continued to walk toward the other side of the corridor. When we reached the staircase, I remembered the skeletons and could not help but shine my flashlight toward them.
Because, once you have paid the tribute, this thing becomes yours; it belongs to the assets of the people.
A tremendous, irresistible suction force instantly pulled the rhinoceros monster’s body into the black hole, where it was shredded into fragments by the countless wind blades swirling within.
Watching Yuan Qingxuan’s curvaceous figure and her peerless, beautiful face, Guan Ying was filled with nothing but envy and jealousy.
Walking to a hexagonal pavilion, Qian Ge saw her aunt, Madam An, sitting in the pavilion with her sixth sister, Xue Qianlan. Seated opposite them was the newly appointed Crown Princess, Consort Yuan, and the two seemed to be discussing something.
"Two million." He stated the price without hesitation. Ye Zhen had not reviewed the content from yesterday in detail and could not agree immediately; he could only suggest waiting, promising to give him an answer in the afternoon.
