Chapter 60

"Is this forcing them to a decisive battle?" Jiu Mei asked in shock. How narrow was the space within the Dragon Canyon, and now that traps had been set as well, what else could this be if not an intention to settle the outcome right here within the Dragon Canyon?

Knowing Kou Ziling, when fighting opponents whose cultivation was inferior to his own, he had always resolved matters with a single blade strike.

"Second Mother! Second Mother, I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again, please let me go!" Ziyu begged desperately, weeping and crying at the top of her lungs.

"Since you were able to bring out an item like this, you must have found a way to deal with it." Ye Yuan closed the lid of the box and placed it upon his knees.

Those two golden pills were still radiating a brilliant glow. Containing the entire vital essence of the demonic monkey, which had also consumed so many precious treasures, the two golden pills refined from it undoubtedly captured the profound creations of heaven and earth. Consuming them would undoubtedly propel one's cultivation to great heights.

Up to this point among the top eight, the Celestial Empire claimed three seats, remarkably even more than the True Unity Sect. This was an outcome that even Ling Xiao had not anticipated.

"Damn it!" Li Hao felt as though he had been slapped squarely across the face. Gritting his teeth, he instantly activated his ability to transform into an electric rat and gave chase directly.

Yet at the crucial moment, Irelia went so far as to forgo even her Flash, pressing the D key to dodge the attack outright, and then retreated straight under the safety of the turret.

"You, what on earth are you talking about?" I forced a smile at him, the harder I tried to look natural, the more uncontrollably the corners of my mouth twitched a few times.

Although she knew her master felt only pity for her and harbored none of the romantic feelings she held in her heart—meaning he naturally would not dwell with resentment upon her kissing another man—for some reason, she still felt as though she had done something wrong.

She had no room for choice and could only hurriedly crawl inside. The front of this cave was pitch black; the further she went, the further light receded. The primal urge to survive drove her to crawl forward frantically.

Eiichi Ryukawa was, after all, the head of the Ryukawa family, and his status could be considered on par with Dong Chenggong. Since Dong Chenggong showed signs of resistance toward them, Eiichi Ryukawa naturally had no desire to endure cold stares here, nor did he wish to let Jiro Kameda continue making a fool of himself.

Seeing that all the animals in the dimensional space had passed out, Shen Feifei picked up a zombie crystal core and toyed with it.

Mikumu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked toward Wu'ai. A surge of hostility abruptly erupted from within him, that dark, lingering aura emanating continuously from Mikumu's body.

When Xia Xiaoxiao awoke, she discovered she was bound to a chair, pitch darkness before her eyes, and her mouth sealed tight with adhesive tape so that she could not utter a sound. She began to struggle involuntarily. Had she been abducted? What about Ye Ning? If she had been implicated because of her, the pain would be far greater than any harm she herself suffered.

The hotel where Zhou You had taken up residence was the finest in the area, boasting a luxurious presidential suite. Yet the atmosphere there was anything but relaxed; security guards stood inside and out, numbering at least over a hundred specialized personnel responsible for security duties.

"Then... where is Wanyan?" Amidst her vague premonition of something uncanny, Mu Biyan could not help asking.

It was not that he sought to seize power or contend for profit; just as he had stated, for the happiness of his entire family and for the future of Kangula, he had no other choice.

The entire afternoon was spent on a whirlwind tour of three enterprises. After dinner, Mayor Li exchanged views with the Korean side regarding tomorrow's trade and investment symposium, after which everyone returned to the hotel to rest.

Mrs. Bian was startled. "A flash flood?" Mrs. Bian asked this because she knew Yanzi's maiden home was in Zhizhi Ridge, and Qinan County was surrounded by mountains on all sides, leading her immediately to think of mountain torrents.

Even without personally participating in the events of that year, "Lust" was well aware that Old Master Duo and Old Master Pei had absolutely no reason to lie, nor would they ever have allowed the true "Sea King" to remain behind.

Though Long Feng knew the other person was fabricating a background story for him, he did not reveal any strange expression. He actually listened attentively to her story, as if everything she narrated were the absolute truth.

Turning his gaze to the remaining eight individuals, Long Feng continued, "You few haven't angered me too severely. Yet since you participated in this matter, you must accept punishment. There are two paths: either each of you cuts off one of your own legs, or I will assist you."

"Fine, you choose!" Wu Qingfeng flung his sleeve in anger, feeling as though today had been thoroughly cursed.

Mouri Kogoro and Kazuha Toyama seemed to have a premonition that something was about to happen, holding each other's hands for comfort while looking at Megure's face with heightened anticipation.

After Deputy Mayor Chen finished his speech, accompanied by Hu Youmin, he toured the production workshop. Li Tao provided explanations on the side, while the accompanying journalists continuously raised their cameras to take photographs.

"This is the token of our Giant Realm—" Crown Prince Jube kept a rod-like iron pillar upright right in front of Chu Chen.

Their mission was to maneuver flexibly along the left and right flanks of the formation. Once the column came under attack or spotted the target, they were to act like hunting hounds catching sight of their quarry, launching a fierce assault on the target with the weapons in their hands, using relentless firepower to suppress them.

Cold sweat poured down Du Rong's face like rain. He knew he might have truly erred this time; his original intention had been to lend Yang Chun a helping hand and thereby strengthen their alliance, but he never imagined that Yang Chun's ruthlessness would surpass his wildest imagination.
