56 Counterattack

Seeing the old man charge toward him with swinging fists, Luffy was already so frightened that he lost his wits. Watching the old man's palm about to smack down mercilessly, and knowing he couldn't dodge it, he had no choice but to close his eyes and brace himself to take the blow head-on.

The detective took out the photo just taken at the accident scene. In the photo, Wang Hao was slumped limply over the driver's seat, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.

Although that attack wasn't particularly powerful by his standards, even he wouldn't dare to catch it with his mouth—that would be an act of sheer courting death.

Moreover, because it contained an artifact spirit, it possessed the infinite potential for growth. Perhaps surpassing the Saint and Spirit tiers in the future was entirely possible.

Inside the Black Soul Ring, everyone wore heavy frowns and worried expressions. Three days had passed since the last great battle, yet Ning Xuan remained unconscious, her aura extremely faint with no signs of improvement.

Though this Master Xie's methods were somewhat crude, they were effective enough against others. Unfortunately, having encountered Madam Red, failure was destined.

Upon learning of their whereabouts later on, Ferev had not intentionally sought them out again. When he happened to run into Naisha at a certain gathering and the previous events came up, he explained the reason. It was not an attempt to shift the blame onto Nep, but rather an explanation of his own helplessness at the time.

She immediately used her chopsticks to transfer a generous portion of noodles from her own bowl into his, placed the single boiled egg into Situ Xing's bowl, and buried it beneath the noodles.

Leng Zimo exchanged pleasantries with several relevant high-ranking executives, then walked over to a corner holding his glass. He had never been one for lively crowds, and everyone knew his temperament. Coupled with the flurry of news surrounding him over the past few days, people understood he was certainly in no mood for socializing, and no one came over to bother him.

The old man had heard every word of their conversation clearly. Seeing them pushing and shoving each other, he couldn't help letting out another cold snort.

The devouring ability of Wangxiang and the Zilongspear technique were unleashed simultaneously, except that his battle robe was no longer pristine white, but marred by many striking, mud-colored scars.

Names like Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard might have sounded better eighty years ago, but nowadays they were just too tacky.

Li Shugen wasn't the only one doing this, yet they dragged him into it alongside the supreme leader—wasn't this deliberately framing him?

Time turned back to noon. Zetter and the other two arrived on the continent of Brunmiva and located the Earthlings' base.

No matter how he had called out to this fellow just now, not only did it ignore him completely, but it even tried to slip away. Now, seeing him capture the Dark Demonic Lightning, it had come out to cozy up to the lightning, only to be spurned—and yet it actually dared to act aggrieved toward him?

Mr. Hu said quietly. The bone-chilling coldness in his voice made Yang Zong shiver involuntarily, as if a bitter wind were howling and goose-feather snowflakes were falling in the height of summer.

Having met Qi Hao now, at least for the present moment, her heart would no longer harbor feelings for any other man.

"Please mind your manners," Feya pushed Cilia away from Zetter, and then embraced Zetter herself.

Yet now, facing the spell pressure unleashed by Su Yi, this mid-Yuheng referee had no choice but to treat the situation with utmost gravity. If he handled it poorly, there was a strong possibility of them both suffering heavy losses.

After saying this, Yi'yi concealed her form, retreating back into Qin Ming's mind to experience his emotions shifting every single second.

If this problem could not be solved, motorization could not be achieved. The equipment of the artillery units had to rely on draft horses and human labor, which was why the Red Zone chose the Schneider 1923 infantry gun.

Consequently, many people hurriedly pulled out their smartphones, opened the 20 million soft-light dual-camera lens, and prepared to use it to capture the beauty of the total solar eclipse and record that magnificent moment.

A hundred-zhang-thick lightning python struck the main body, and arcs of electricity slithered across the tree trunk. The primordial spirit within couldn't help but bare its teeth and wince; although it couldn't actually harm him, the pain was unavoidable.

Judging by the lavish spending of the Wen family and Liu Qingxi, they were not short of money, unlike her who had to struggle hard to make a living.

"What is so difficult about that? Why don't I paint a few scrolls for the Lady County Magistrate and personally deliver them to the manor another day? Consider it an early congratulatory gift for the La Festival." Zheng Sizhan's proposal made Xinyi's eyes light up.

Because Zhang Fei did not want to stage a "boy who cried wolf" scenario in front of someone like Zhao Monian, he wanted to teach Zhao Monian a harsh lesson and, along the way, verify whether his own conjecture would truly "come true."

I prepared to explain, but I found that my words were entirely useless; Fifth Brother understood everything entirely according to his own preconceptions.

Sometimes, people really cannot withstand being constantly talked about. Just as Qu Yaojie was endlessly fantasizing about the scene of his reunion with Han Feifei, the young woman actually appeared in the lobby of the hotpot restaurant during the busiest dinner rush.

The sentry post was right by the Lightning River, and any movement could not possibly escape one's ears. Today, however, something felt rather bizarre—why were the fish in the water thrashing about so violently?

Hearing this voice, Yin-Yang Zhengze paused for a moment, hurriedly withdrew his sword qi, and stepped into the bushes, only to see Chantas and the other two lying on the ground in pain.

Dafeng didn't quite understand the logic behind this, but it sounded imposing and full of reasoning. Before he could ask what to do, he saw Liu Liu taking action.

Seeing this, everyone was greatly astonished. Such an invisible force actually made the Central Heavens Soil, which had just fought fiercely against numerous enemies, unable to escape any longer.

"Look!" The phantom Cassius extended his palm—a beam of blue light shot forth from it.

This is the real me, the me whose image is about to be completed. Whether it's a water dragon or anything else right now, this is that me from the surface of Earth; he shall not be bullied, he shall not be humiliated.

"Grandma, have some fruit." Xiazhi, who had just finished washing the fruit and entered the room, didn't interrupt while Li Shuxian was speaking with such gusto. When there was a pause in the conversation, she handed over a peeled apple and gently wiped away the tear at the corner of Li Shuxian's eye with her finger.

Li Mu, Chu Yun, and Chen Jing ultimately decided to go watch the competition together. However, Li Mu had not yet changed his clothes, and all his belongings were with Lin Mo, so he went back to the dorm first. Fortunately, Lin Mo, that hardcore homebody, was still in his room designing his cards and hadn't left, allowing Li Mu to successfully retrieve his things.
