Nie Bin, lying in the control room, was frantic yet utterly helpless. The Slayers had not a trace of energy left; they could not even open the hatch to escape. And even if they managed it, there might not be enough time.

Looking at the ochre-yellow energy surrounding his body, the Ten-Winged Angel sat on the floor in utter dejection and let out a deep sigh. “Could all of this truly be fate? Was Lucifer really never meant to die? Or am I simply too foolish? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!” He burst into unrestrained laughter.

“What are you doing?” Harry asked guiltily. After all, he had infringed upon someone else’s right of portraiture. Though such a thing was not practiced on the continent, Harry still did not dare meet Dani’s eyes.

The two of them wandered around Tianyang Gate once more. Zhao Qingtian then gave Lin Feng a general account of Tianyang Gate’s history and development, and told him that the headquarters of Heaven-Extinguishing Earth-Slaying was located in Ruthless Valley, ten miles from South City.

He sniffed hard, drawing a deep breath, and separated a familiar scent from the wind: the smell of rain.

Just as the foot beneath the patterned magical beast stopped lengthening, a low voice sounded again, shattering the silence around them.

It was not even the middle of June yet. At this rate, there would probably really be a “volume after next” this month.

Li Xiaomai did not answer. What could she possibly say? If she told the truth, Li Monan would surely be hurt. But if she lied to him, she truly could not bring herself to say those words.

“We shall heed the senior’s instructions.” Mo Dao and Ji Rufeng answered in unison, then turned and left.

It was said that the existence of such an inferior creature as the Sawtooth Beast was all Lanford’s doing. It was a trace of his bloodline that gave the Ruler Beast the ability to evade battle aura.

“Great Elder, let us set aside Ji’er’s affairs for now. Even if he has joined some great sect in the Imperial Capital of Great Yu, it would still be best for us to handle the minor disputes here in Shanyin County. We absolutely cannot allow them to distract him or delay his progress in the martial path.

“Rest and recuperate properly in the hospital during this time. Once your injuries have healed, have Dagu take you back to the Far East Base to familiarize yourself with your new home.”

Dean Qu Chuan had long grown accustomed to Elder Jun’s lack of decorum. He sighed softly, and his figure melted into the darkness.

Thinking this, Zheng Xin realized that he could not fight the man bare-handed. As long as he relied on magical treasures, he could use his advantage in cultivation to suppress his opponent completely. After all, Zhang Hao had still been taking part in the Golden Core Trial just a few months earlier. No matter how powerful he was, he was probably no more than a first-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

With half a set of Earth-tier equipment—or a full set of Earth-tier equipment, once its set attributes were activated—his combat strength should reach somewhere around sixty or seventy thousand.

Moreover, he had no idea what was going on with that fellow. He only knew that his current self was still no match for him. Even if he wanted to stop the man from absorbing resentment, he lacked the strength to do so. Only after becoming strong enough to destroy him could he eliminate the man once he had recovered to a certain degree.

At that moment, multicolored clouds drifted across the sky, while boundless spiritual energy surged toward the summit of Southern Capital’s Heavenly Mountain from every direction. The radiant clouds descended as well, finally disappearing into the mountaintop.

In an instant, Long Haochen’s face was covered in Chen Dong’s blood. He casually took a wet towel from a nearby rack and wiped his face.

“Then pack your things and set off with me. Since you’re going on leave, there’s no need to wear your uniform. Just bring your identification card, change into civilian clothes, and come along. I’ll let you out some distance from the television station, so don’t worry,” said Ju Jianhui.

“Ah Xin is right. Stay in the sky and keep watch,” Sakai Shingo’s voice came through the communicator at that moment.

Several fires were lit, with a few horse legs roasting over them as Sun Zushou and the other generals kept turning them.

After the two had left, Lin Beiye looked at Guan Hongfeng, who was facing him, and questioned him.

Of the more than thirty ministers in the Imperial Hall, thirty percent advocated taking a stronger stance, while seventy percent favored waiting for the time being.

Li Junye was somewhat bewildered as well. But now that he had already arrived at the Heavenly Tomb Sect, it was too late to return to Azure Cloud Mountain and ask the Immortal Slayer.

Ye Feng had no idea that the main reason his mother was so desperate to send him away was his father.

The moment he entered the Kunlun Mystic Realm, Li Changsheng felt a joy that welled up from the depths of his heart. He almost felt like throwing back his head and letting out a long cry.

At present, the brothers could barely survive by relying on their storage rings. If anyone discovered that they had been hoarding things, they could guarantee that those bald monks would seize the rings and keep them in their own custody.

The angrier Ming Qiangwei became, the clearer her mind grew. She looked at Jiang Tian, whose eyes were misty with tears in Han Li’s arms, then glanced at Shen Yunchen, whose face was stern. Suddenly, she let out a laugh.

Jiang Ning plated the stir-fried cabbage. Afraid of being discovered, the three little ones hurried back inside. Jiang Ning pretended not to see them and brought out the stir-fried cabbage and egg pancakes.

“Father, today’s banquet is so extravagant. If Ling Ning finds out, will it arouse his suspicion? He has only just ordered the regulation of prices, yet our Qi family is openly opposing him,” Qi Yun said worriedly.

Beyond that point, quasi-martial artists could resist the energy bullets fired by firearms through various means.

Shen Yuan immediately felt an immense force traveling through his neck and legs, trying to flip him directly onto the ground.

“...” Upon hearing this, the Madman remained silent at first. Then that handsome face grew increasingly flushed, while his head sank lower and lower.

It had sensed it from the moment it arrived at the beast-fighting arena: this place was practically an ocean of negative emotions.

Regardless of the purpose or the reason, at least such a circle had already formed.

Just as she was congratulating herself on wearing thick clothing and thinking that the fall would not hurt, everything suddenly went black before her eyes. Her entire body began to ache violently, as though five horses had simultaneously seized her limbs and torn her apart.
