Chapter 21

Amid the host of gods, Zeus sent his shield flashing up and down. Every so often, someone was struck by lightning, their entire body convulsing, their features twisted in agony as they lost the ability to fight.

Not long afterward, they returned to Tokyo and analyzed the only human tissue they had discovered, obtaining astonishing information.

His attitude toward studying was simply too improper. At a time like this, he had actually chosen to give up entirely. Did he truly think the school would not dare expel him?

The officer was drenched in cold sweat as well. After driving away the military dog that had rushed over, he opened his eyes wide and turned to look at Natalie.

After the Sacred Lotus Altar’s rousing speech, some among the rebel army actually began to envy those who had died at Su Li’s hands. Why did they not possess such fortunate destinies? On ordinary days, there had been nothing remarkable about those “heavenly soldiers and generals.” How had they come to have such formidable backgrounds?

Tang Yurou was not dressed in anything especially dazzling today, yet her elegant bearing was captivating. She wore a simple, tasteful white blouse on top and a pair of beige wide-legged trousers below, accentuating her slender figure to perfection.

“Vmmm…”

The figure within the black mist flickered indistinctly. He began chanting something with great solemnity, the buzzing sound reverberating through the air. Even with his gaze penetrating the black mist, Qin Chen could not make out what lay within.

Park Sang-ji and Nakano Takeda both nodded to show that they understood. They immediately picked up the appropriate communicators and put them to their ears.

You could call it an episode, if you liked. In any case, he was so stubborn and irrational that not even a hundred oxen could drag him back once he had made up his mind.

“I understand. I’ll call you again if anything comes up.” The moment Gong Wei finished speaking, Li Jiahao hung up.

“No, he must be lying to me. My father has been the principal for more than ten years. There’s no way he could be removed from office by a single word from you.” Clearly, Zhuo Yao still did not believe Chen Yidao.

Wu Lingkai had been strictly forbidden from entering or leaving the kitchen or dining room without supervision, lest he touch something dangerous or scalding hot water.

Since they had come all this way, Chen Yidao could hardly refuse to let them inside for a while.

“Come sit at my place, and afterward I’ll take you out to have some fun,” Chen Yidao said.

The hulls and turrets of the destroyed Chai-style light tanks all faced the direction of the breach. Even while burning after being destroyed, they displayed a mighty spirit of unyielding defiance in the face of death. The Japanese armored vehicles, by contrast, had died in every imaginable fashion, scattered in almost every direction and posture.

“Don’t leave any for her. She can’t eat that much…” Guan Aihua reached out, intending to put the squid back, but Feng Li slapped his hand aside before he could.

In the Misty Marshes, Zeng Hao had been flying for several days. Though he could not claim to have crossed most of the Misty Marshes, at his speed, several days were more than enough to cover half or even three-fifths of them.

Of course, besides grief, they also felt an intense unease. Would Jiang Chen turn his hand against them as well? If he truly came for them, how were they supposed to resist?

She had been coveting the body of the Young Mistress’s brother-in-law for more than a year. Whenever she returned to her parents’ home, she would always boast about it to others. She had assumed that once Madam came back, the matter would finally be settled. She had never expected Madam not even to mention it, and the disappointment left her utterly dejected.

Once outside, they found that the Crown Prince had indeed arrived, holding the sobbing princess by the hand. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying. The Princess Royal turned away the moment she saw Young Master Yang, so furious that she refused even to look at him.

They were not fools. This clan assembly was no ordinary affair, and both Wei Guiqiang and Wei Chong had made it clear that they would take the field.

At that moment, Ning Feiyan, who was busy with her work, twitched her ears slightly as she received an instruction from her master.

In that instant, swift as a flash of lightning, silvery-white particles surged across Chen Tao’s body. In the blink of an eye, his form transformed into the Red Death Demon state, its colors divided between gold and crimson.

A large photograph was developed, with Tulle in the center, Hela on the left, and Turandu standing on the right.

Tian Youli was caught by Zhao Sichen in an intimate moment with Yuanyang. His face flushed crimson, but he still stepped forward, clasped his hands, and offered Zhao Sichen a formal greeting.

After being ambushed the last time, he had assumed that he had suffered only external and internal injuries. He had never imagined that several days later he would discover that he had also been poisoned.

Just as he was growing frantic, he suddenly remembered the elixir. His eyes lit up at once, and he hurriedly spoke to Liang Long.

At that moment, it seemed that everyone believed Li Ziran had merely been buried alive and had not died.

After all, this man had previously hurt Ning Xiang’s feelings, frequently committed disgusting and despicable acts, and had even nearly gotten together with her. He was simply terrifying.

The brief stiffness faded away. Jisoo took a deep breath and slowly moved forward, passing beyond the screen.

Hearing him say this, Qin Gang showed no reaction on the surface, but inwardly he was filled with contempt. That fellow did nothing but betray those who had helped him once they were no longer useful. It would be best to keep his distance from him in the future. Yet he still needed the man’s assistance today, so Qin Gang could only endure it for the time being and hurry with him toward the Eastern City Military Command.

“You… You’re serious? You truly won’t give me even one chance?”

A basin of ice-cold water seemed to have been poured over her head. Guan Ying’s tears burst forth uncontrollably, but she bit her lower lip hard, refusing to let herself cry out.

This was the first time he had spoken about such matters, and only then did Hu Yunyun realize how far-reaching her younger brother’s thoughts were. She also understood why their grandfather had chosen him to steer the entire family. For a moment, her heart was filled with emotion.

The aftershock of the two men’s battle forced many of those gathered around Zhou to retreat some distance.

He naturally did not believe that Shangguan Yunyao still had any chance of turning the situation around, but he failed to notice that her gaze had shifted onto him.

Shangguan Yunyao could easily guess that, at that moment, quite a few of the men attending the auction were probably feeling a certain tightness beneath their belts.

The disciples all nodded excitedly. Afterward, the disciples of each sect followed the directions indicated by the jade tablets in their hands and headed toward their assigned destinations.

Before long, the Devouring Abyss formed from the Devouring Battle Soul completely enveloped the body of the Vengeful Spirit Essence. Its terrifying devouring force surged wildly, as though it intended to refine and dissolve the entire world itself.
