Volume 1, Chapter 39: Overdoing It

He charged toward the center of the maze. He had been here before; there were no large quantities of divine power crystals, just an ordinary respawn point. Still, he took note of its location. Had he known the fighting between these avatars would be so intense, he could have played the fisherman, lying in wait at the respawn point.

With a little scheme, Bu Zhanfeng could stage a one-man show; by the time she returned to the capital, the two of them would practically be rumored to have an illicit affair.

Chen Hao stayed by Hong Luan’s side the entire time, staring in stunned silence at the peculiar figures on the video. He couldn't believe that these private traders, renowned in every corner of the world, were actually taking orders from Hong Luan.

At this moment, Huari had already sensed the strangeness of it all. Someone must be playing tricks on her, or perhaps it was an assassin.

The time it took for one stick of incense to burn out was exactly five minutes. Indeed, a certain jealous monster was earnestly proving that he was more capable than that legendary cousin of hers.

Although Zuo Liang felt somewhat dejected by today’s events, he couldn't fathom why Liao Yong had suddenly left this divine inn. Was it to distance himself from him?

Seemingly unintentional, their gazes all swept over the "jade pendant" that had been spat out onto the ground.

Beauty Ting and Talent Qin were not without their own schemes. After careful reflection, they realized they had suffered a major loss at the hands of Beauty Ru. Consequently, they harbored deep, gnawing resentment toward her, both openly and in secret.

What puzzled Liu Feng, however, was why such a beautiful girl would say such things. There was only one reason: a lack of upbringing. Liu Feng watched as the girl walked straight up to him, then raised her snow-white hand and pinched his ear hard.

The target of the attack, Brother Hu, found it impossible to determine exactly where Qin Yuan was striking, feeling only a dizzying blur of movement.

"I know." Qiya Zuimeng nodded. "On the way here, I noticed a mansion entrance covered in a large amount of sand. I don't think that could happen unless the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village was involved." Having said this, Qiya Zuimeng flew off without waiting for Samui’s reply.

Meanwhile, the Demon-Suppressing Tower seemed affected by some significant force, shaking even more violently than before.

After clarifying the situation, Luo Bing offered a few words of comfort, telling her not to worry and that the law would surely bring her justice. She then added, "If you remember anything else you missed, contact me. Especially if you find the person who saved you—be sure to tell me; we will grant them a courage award."

The speed of both men was terrifying. However, no matter where Nie Tianxing appeared, the fake Yun always managed to appear behind him at the same moment; Nie Tianxing simply could not catch up.

Sure enough, although Yao Shun’s eyes were fixed on Di Shuye, a faint ripple of soul energy swept over all three of them.

It was like an army of ants: using the fence as a boundary, both sides bit and tore at each other in a ceaseless slaughter.

"Morphological power is truly formidable! It helped me raise my cultivation by one level!" Looking at his golden claws, Nie Tianxing said softly, his cold gaze then sweeping toward the Shadow God Venerable.

The amethyst stone coffin had no lid, yet it contained no corpse; it was completely empty.

"Takagi Saya agreed, didn't she?" Seeing Li Ye enter, Takagi Naoshu asked with a smile.

Dongfang Qi had failed to track Tang Chuan at Cangwu Mountain that day. He then rushed to the Qilin Holy Clan, retrieved the Void Mirror, and returned to the East Sea. He had a vague intuition regarding the Truth-Shattering Bead. After calming his mind to investigate, he discovered the subtle traces of Tang Chuan flying toward the north and pursued them relentlessly.

"Clang!" The Shennong Seal was a divine technique after all. Even without unleashing its full power, it still forced Zuo Zhixiang backward. As his feet struck the snow, a fissure several yards wide instantly opened, spreading for a thousand miles.

The instructor who had been kicked away earlier, perhaps due to his portly physique, was thick-skinned and resilient. He managed to roll over and scramble to his feet, and was already pulling out his light-caliber handgun.

No one could make it disappear, and it was impossible for it to vanish from this world. Therefore, later on, shrewd politicians began seeking other ways to deal with this dark force.

After listening to Qi Le'er, Ye Fei threw the Type 54 pistol that Shen Ling had just dropped to her and sped off in the direction she had pointed.

"Daddy, hee hee!" Chen Mengting clutched Xiao Feng’s arm, dragging and pushing him into the living room.

Seeming afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she explained again, "I was also present during that heavy rain. I happened to see Liu Mei'er floating on the water, and in a moment of fascination with her peerless beauty, I..." She finally stopped, unwilling to leave too bad an impression on Leng Ran.

The atmosphere reached a stalemate; the fingers of Shui Jing, holding the bow and arrow, trembled continuously. If she was even slightly distracted, it was likely that the black-faced man would be struck by her arrow.

The tiny bit of gratitude Ichimaru Gin had finally managed to feel toward Kirishima Sei was instantly shattered by that sentence; this guy really was a terrifying sister-complex.

"Just you wait. Make sure to keep your word and wire the money to my card obediently." After saying this, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

All of this was far away in the capital. Since returning to Beiping, Zhu Di had distanced himself from those conflicts, and he appeared much more relaxed.

Zhao Rui called Du Shixian, asking where she was and inviting her to lunch. Du Shixian thought that if she refused, it would be hard to explain to her mother, so she told Zhao Rui she was with Pei Shuyi. Zhao Rui didn't mind and told them to wait for him at the hospital entrance; he would be there in a few minutes.
