Volume 1, Chapter 52: General Zhao is Indeed Generous

Before he could check his momentum, Wu Ruoning had already kicked him squarely in the face, using the recoil to vault over the head of the third person.

Shen Liangzhi took Han Jing by the hand and returned to the room. Shen Chuyi pulled out her high-heeled shoe, which was wedged in the floorboards, and hurled it at Shen Liangzhi in a fit of frustration.

Wang Ru looked somewhat nervous, while Fang Jie knew nothing at all, so she obediently kept quiet and followed right behind the two of them.

Just as Hua Jingen finished speaking, Shen Jia directly pinched her plump arm, causing her to let out a series of squeals in pain.

Then he grabbed Guan Haitong's soul straight from the crown of his head with one hand, using the Soul-Absorbing Technique to trawl through Guan Haitong's memories. There was a mental restriction hidden within Guan Haitong's memories; the moment Hua Wuque tried to break through it, Guan Haitong's soul exploded with a loud bang.

Claws and teeth descended simultaneously. The enemies didn't even have time to react, let alone feel fear, before they shattered into pieces en masse.

Beside the swing chair stood an unnamed red flower tree. Crimson petals, mixed with flurries of fine snow, drifted in the wind to cover her head and shoulders.

Shen Liangzhi knew that his identity was special and that he was easily recognized, so to avoid causing her any trouble, he had chosen to meet her at the parking lot.

Seeing Qiao Linxi carrying meat and rice, the children were all overjoyed and trotted over to help her carry them.

With that, his speed suddenly surged as he blasted wildly toward the foot of the Shi Liang Mountain. Before long, he located the Gale Beast, and immediately rushed onward to the Qingluo Cliff.

Suddenly, a fierce, thunderous dragon roar shook the heavens. A dozen-zhang-long azure dragon materialized high in the sky, and with a flash of its shadow, a robust, middle-aged-to-elderly man transformed into human form right before everyone's eyes.

It was this face—it must be because of this face that she had bewitched him. Even though his heart was filled with intense hatred for her at this moment, upon seeing this face, he simply could not bring himself to strike.

Amidst a fervent, campaign-like mobilization, within just a few days, everyone from the leadership down to frontline employees at Jianhui Company began to develop a completely new understanding of the philosophy of Total Quality Management. This conviction of building a quality-centered approach involving all employees gradually took root in their hearts.

The black raven was the first to spot them. With a piercing screech, it lunged toward Feng Ye, closely followed by the ice-crystal giant, which roared as it approached with heavy, thunderous footsteps.

Huo Chengfeng walked straight toward Huo Qingren. No, if Huo Chengfeng saw her here, she would be utterly doomed. Outsiders might not recognize her, but how could a biological father fail to recognize his own daughter?

"Hehe... I knew you'd say that, Director Wang. What I'm worried about isn't the make-up exam itself, but what comes after it," Wang Ying said with a smile.

Wang Yuanping's heart hammered in his chest. He didn't know whether his decision to send the order to Huachun and Liaowang Factory was right or wrong, but right now, this was the only path left for him to take.

With a muffled groan of pain, bright red blood instantly burst forth, spraying onto Ruyi's face, warm and fragrant.

Yunqing flipped the shoe over to inspect the sole, only to find it brand new with extremely faint patterns traced upon it, while the edges were worn completely smooth, drastically reducing the shoe's anti-slip coefficient. With a sole like that, the slightest slope or dampness on the road would make it terribly easy to slip and fall.

"No problem. Please wait a moment, sir." With that, the flight attendant turned away politely. Not long after, she brought him a glass of soda water.

Qin Muchen's tone seemed somewhat helpless as well. He gazed at her, while An Nianchu didn't dare meet his gaze. She didn't even know what to do herself, so how could she make demands of him?

Subsequently, the Martial Soul and the Martial Dao Heart appeared one after another. The Martial Dao Heart enveloped the Martial Soul, transforming into a spherical, crystal-clear orb.

With a roar, the Qilin erupted with an aura of primordial antiquity, unleashing destructive demonic energy to bombard the trio of Li Lingtian.

Ren Qiuling guessed that the reason the other party had stopped was, first of all, out of a sense of superiority; they felt they were vastly superior to these fleeing mortals and disdained to kill such villagers. Secondly, they genuinely possessed a sense of decorum and were unwilling to pounce on people indiscriminately like crazed murderers.

The "cooperation" Gu Zhiqin mentioned was for Su Mo-ran to donate a new office building to the Provincial Public Security Department in the company's name. On one hand, Su Mo-ran was giving face to Gu Zhiqin, and on the other hand, it was a tactic for him to cultivate favorable relations with the provincial government.

Qiu Xuan didn't care much about other matters, but he knew that the Millennium Profound Purple Herb was due to arrive within these couple of days. With his heart set on this matter, he naturally had no inclination to attend any banquet.

Furthermore, the God-Desolation Supreme could even sense that his own aura seemed to share a mysterious, magnetic connection with the Creation Jade Disc floating in the sky.

She looked toward Qin Muche, smiling in a way that made Qin Muche feel deeply unsettled, an inexplicable chill washing over him.

Hearing Li Lingtian put it that way, Kong Wu was also taken aback; Li Lingtian had thrown out three treasure map fragments, leaving himself with only two.

This situation proved troublesome even for Gongsun Long. While he could block Li Lingtian's Holy Dragon power, he could not withstand the might of the other two true dragons. He wanted to attack Li Lingtian, but the other two true dragons stood firmly in his defense.

The arrogant expression of the trench-coat-wearing young man was deeply irritating to Yang Peiqi. One could tell at a single glance that this fellow was the scion of some high-ranking official. His gaze landed directly on Yang Peiqi, immediately discerning that she was the leader.

Shimazu Yoriyasu and Suzuki Shigehide exchanged a heavy glance. Breathing heavily with weapons in hand, they pressed their backs against one another and watched the closing circle of attackers. They had already deduced a grim possibility: Honda Masanobu had betrayed them. A chill instantly pierced their hearts.

When all is said and done, these conflicts were destined to exist, yet they would never possess even the slightest possibility of intersection.

"Orders have come from above. The two of you, please wait for a moment inside the private room." With that, the disciple bowed out, closed the door, and departed.

The endless sea monsters had vanished entirely, leaving only the vast starry sky and countless stars laid bare before their eyes.

Among these three God-Venerable powerhouses, Fu Yu was prominently included. Although his external injuries had healed, the damage inflicted upon his soul by Tantai Ling's trident was not so easily mended, and his current strength was less than eighty percent of his peak.

Hojo Yoshisada glared at Hojo Yoshitoki, his eyes twitching as he roared, "Goto Tajima, you old bastard!" After cursing furiously a couple of times, he could no longer speak. He harbored no doubts and felt no anger; instead, he was gripped by a mixture of shock and utter despair, his entire body going limp as he nearly collapsed to the ground.
