Chapter 36: Can Farts Glow?

The gunman did not waste words; he pulled the trigger, and Jiang Chengce fell to the ground, struck in the chest.

No sooner had Gu Chen finished his cursing than a thunderclap erupted from the heavens. A bolt of lightning, thick as a finger, plummeted thousands of feet from the sky and struck Gu Chen directly on the forehead.

Little did anyone know that while the Holy Light was infusing Gu Chen with the source of life, it was indirectly transforming the mortal's body. It not only cleansed his marrow and washed his bones but also imprinted the Seal of the Gods into every one of his thirty-six thousand pores, truly and thoroughly remaking him.

"It is an entry-level spiritual attack technique. Something capable of sapping one's fighting spirit," Feng Luoyu explained.

The typically refined face of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada twisted into a grimace, his handsome features becoming as ghastly as a demon's.

He Qingfan smiled as he looked at Jiang Shan. Although he did not know what the Jiang family was planning, he was curious. With the Jiang family stepping up one by one, where did that leave the other families and nobles? Especially the imperial relatives—they were the true holders of the Huangfu surname. As for those surnamed Jiang, they were not Huangfu; they ought to maintain a low profile.

Before anyone could clearly see who was inside, a silver radiance flashed violently several times and then vanished, only to reappear a thousand meters away from the water column the next instant.

With this explanation, many nodded in agreement. Only by entering the fourth interface could one be qualified to contend for supremacy, and Nie Feng was currently still in the second.

The Demon Emperor and his ranks among the monsters understood this logic well, which is why they continuously launched powerful attacks on the various continents of Heavy Water.

What is going on? Didn't he just ask you for two million taels? Why, in the blink of an eye, is he asking you to take it back?

In the presence of all, Ye Cangtian walked in front of Mo Yingyue and the Master of Yueming Mansion, staring directly at Wang Ming.

"Boss, you scared the life out of me!" At this moment, Du Yue hurried over, with Tian Feng following closely behind, looking equally nervous.

Wei Qilang had seen her long ago. Although he kept his head lowered, the vigilance honed over years was etched into his bones. No matter where he went, he remained on high alert, fully aware of any changes in his surroundings. He knew Dong Ru had approached, he simply chose not to look up.

He Laosan decided to return tomorrow afternoon, or at the latest, the morning after. Because they were nearby and trade caravans were frequent, he had Li Hongzhui take a message to a caravan heading to Wuxian Town, asking them to deliver word to the He family so his kin would not worry.

"Then go find Gyatso!" Tsering Wangdue could no longer suppress his rage; he raised his hand and struck the evolver on the head with a fireball.

"My Lord, you coming here in person—how could I allow it?" Master He stepped forward three paces, bowing low and fawning.

Although they heard Zhang Haicheng’s shout, their magical treasures were already hurtling toward Tian Yue. How could they stop their attacks, fueled by hatred, in an instant? Tian Yue certainly knew what Zhang Haicheng was worried about, but how could he let such a golden opportunity slip by?

If Bai Junfan were still alive, things would not be so complicated; one could simply ask him. But alas, Bai Junfan had died at the hands of Ye Cangtian a year ago.

"Opportunities won't last forever, young man. She is truly beautiful, what is her name?" Bernardine sighed, looking at the disappointing knight.

"Unless you have a better suggestion, we leave now. If we get too close, remind me." Fern glanced at the sun to judge the orientation and led his companions toward the direction where the Dark Tide had vanished.

Sigismund nodded. "I will send men to escort you. With guards leading the way, the... various busybodies there won't dare do anything to you." Everyone caught the subtext in the High Lord’s words.

The crowd chattered incessantly. It wasn't just this tavern; all the taverns in the Central Plains of the Second Heaven were discussing the matter.

"Then I shall leave this matter to you, Chief." Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, An Ruiqi knew he had full confidence, so he stopped asking and handed over the token.

"I do this as much for her as I do for you. Ning Xue, you harbor guilt in your heart, which is why you are anxious day and night, your health fading with each passing day. Now that the authorities have obtained evidence, why not be honest and set down the burden in your heart?" An Ruiqi gently persuaded.

As his voice faded, Gu Huaiyan, holding his wife, threw his head back and let out a long howl. He truly wanted to grab Lou Shenghao by the collar and give him a sound beating.

Tang Luo smiled. Don't be fooled by Bai Feifei’s cold tone on the phone, threatening him and all—in her heart, she actually trusted him quite a bit.

"Your ranks are too low. Go to the Huaxia Heaven Team first before you come to talk to me!" Ji Hui said indifferently.

Violet blushed, lowering her head and falling silent. That was just how she was; she always liked to blush, even when she was killing someone.

"Boss Pi, I find what you said a bit off." Zhao Chengshuang spoke up suddenly, causing everyone in the room to freeze, even Pi Junchao looked stunned.

"My fellow 'Showmen', greetings! I am Park Tianxiu. I already know what happened today. The combat power of those 'Broken Parks' is truly mediocre; they couldn't even manage a simple arson without getting caught. I applaud their lack of intelligence."

Liu Tiansheng coughed up a mouthful of blood after I kicked him. Xing Chenghan hurriedly tried to stop me, but I took the microphone from his hand and made no further moves.

Han Yuliang moved his mouth but ultimately said nothing, simply picking up his food bowl and eating to the side.

It seemed her guess was correct; the God-Making Laboratory had dug deep indeed, connecting to an underground sea.

It turned out Chu Jianghuai’s hair was so long it covered his body; only when he lifted his head was his face revealed.

He pondered over and over, only realizing after a long while that Yuan Hui was also deep in thought nearby. Both had their own worries, and so neither spoke.
