Chapter 43

This was the only thought in his mind. At this moment, his true qi was completely exhausted, and even if he wanted to abandon Nanke and escape alone, he was no longer capable of it.

He truly did not know what choice Zhen Chutian would ultimately make when faced with such a dilemma.

When the time reached one minute and thirty seconds, one-third of Lin Yuxuan's name tag was suddenly torn off by someone.

Hearing the shop assistant speak with such certainty, the five of them merely glanced briefly at Shen Tian and the other seven before losing interest.

This remark happened to be overheard by the steward who had wounded the guard. He was just returning to report after conveying his orders, and he certainly did not expect to overhear such words.

"President Gu is truly a responsible man. If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't have extended a helping hand," Feng Jiajia continued, flattering Gu Chen.

Fang Yonghong stared unblinkingly at the battle involving Shen Tian and the others, his desire for strength reaching an absolute extreme as he secretly made up his mind.

Chen Zhou first retrieved the Heavy Edge Sword from his spatial ring. Looking at the shattered greatsword, a pang of sorrow gripped his heart, but he still directly used the Heavy Edge Sword to unleash a single Draw Slash.

Aizen spoke again, "I will further research the Hollowfication technique of the Soul Reapers. When the time is right, I will need your assistance."

"What we showed him was merely a copied transcript of the divine array. This," Yu Qirui said, waving an ancient scroll in his hand, "is the true diagram of the Divine Tree Protection Array."

"Then do you have any other unexpected discoveries?" Mosquito shook his head, then asked, "By the way, are you Reporter Han's colleague? It didn't seem like Reporter Han mentioned you were coming, which is why I mistook you for that eerie fellow. I'm truly sorry."

Overnight, being inexplicably plagued by something unclean forced me to suspect that the problem lay within his own home.

"No way, Uncle Snake!" Ximen Jinlian shook her head in despair. She had finally managed to find a family member, only to discover he was already terminally ill.

"Let's go in and take a look." Old Zheng's voice was not entirely calm. The current environment was indeed gloomy and terrifying, but Old Zheng was unwilling to let go of any possible chance. As long as he could retrieve the lost heirlooms, he was willing to brave a sea of fire and a mountain of blades, even if there was no certainty it had anything to do with this place.

The next day, Ning Cuiqing proved to be as good as her word and called in the afternoon. She asked if Ximen Jinlian was free, as she had already contacted her uncle.

Lin Xuanlan couldn't be bothered to deal with him. He lowered his head and continued to calculate various costs, figuring out how to reduce expenses to the bare minimum. Maximizing efficiency was the key to winning the battle in the marketplace.

"You..." Tian Rui's face was full of disbelief, never expecting Han Wei to be crazy enough to go grave-robbing. This was the utmost disrespect to the deceased; was this how one came to apologize? Such a thing was probably only done by mortal enemies.

Early in the morning, people gathered in groups of three or five, discussing the numerous misdeeds of the Shen family while swarming toward the vegetable market, hoping to secure a good spot to watch the spectacle closely.

After all, Jia Yuanhua was well aware that he had a modest reputation in the jade-gambling world, and if Ximen Jinlian wanted to continue playing in this industry, she wouldn't dare offend Old Man Hu.

Actually, Chi Wan didn't care and wasn't planning on maintaining this cold war indefinitely, but since Zhouzhou wanted to hide, there was nothing she could do. Let her be.

After packing up the corpse of the demon fox, Daoist Priest Bamboo and the others removed a few fragments of malign energy stones from the surroundings and searched for the demon fox's usual hiding place and lair.

With that, Li Qiangdong stood up and kicked the chair from beneath his own buttocks toward Chang Zhenshan.

To everyone's utter astonishment, atop such a high-end car sat a traditional "Twenty-Eight" heavy-duty bicycle. Without looking, one could easily guess it was the very same one Ye Park had ridden when he left home.

Without realizing it, Jiang Cong was slightly intoxicated by the alcohol. Listening to the conversations of the patrons in the tavern, he realized that this era was the early Republic period, which was even more chaotic than the time of Ninth Master.

Time flew by until dawn broke. Fang Jie opened his eyes as sunlight streamed through the window, shining warmly upon his body. He spread his arms and stretched, feeling exceptionally refreshed.

He recognized one of the men: it was none other than He Shanchun. This man had a fierce appearance, upturned brows, eyes like piercing arrows, and a tall stature.

After testing the finished product, Dr. Ellie stated that it was basically ready for use, though they still needed to develop an airborne dispersing antidote to completely prevent the spread of the situation.

"Here it comes again. Every single phone call starts with this exact line," Su Junyang said with a helpless smile. If others knew that the almighty CEO and movie emperor Jiang had such a clingy side, their jaws would probably drop to the floor.

"Did he really go?" Aisha Caris asked, her delicate brows knitted tightly as she listened to her uncle Hughes.

At the same time, she felt that her previous thoughts were somewhat laughable. How could someone as formidable as Chen Qiu ever take a fancy to her?

"I will resurrect you." Ling Tian clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Among them, Wu Yue instructed two Immortal Kings to stay by his side to protect Wuyou and Li Shi. Gratitude flickered in the eyes of these two Immortal Kings.

The students boarded their respective vehicles, and as they departed, they waved goodbye to Gu North, who had been running around busy with everything. Though there were no profuse expressions of gratitude, everyone could see that Gu North was the backbone holding this team together.

With a simultaneous, miserable shriek, the steel sabers fell to the ground with a resounding "clang!", and they were dead as dead could be.

Blood-feeding Horned Ants, a new species created through biological mutation experiments. They were divided into child-ants and a mother-ant. The child-ants were directly implanted into the target's body to drain their vital blood essence, while the mother-ant was controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes, responsible for collecting the blood essence gathered by the child-ants.
