Volume 1, Chapter 46: Today Is the End
If I were to launch a surprise attack on Daki and Gyutaro, the Upper Ranks Six in the Yoshiwara pleasure district, would Muzan Kibutsuji dispatch other Upper Ranks to reinforce them?
Twenty minutes later, Lou Wenzheng was sitting on the sofa in Professor Shen's living room, feeling so awkward and constrained that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
After all, simply raising a dam to store water does not increase the water flow, because the discharge volume at the dam must remain consistent with the inflow volume of the river entering the lake, unless the water level line of the dam can be adjusted.
Xixi's eyes widened in sheer astonishment, clearly finding it hard to believe. Meanwhile, Yunque also looked over with a half-sceptical expression.
Looking back, Shi Xuancong possessed an unfathomable and mysterious aura behind him. His gaze seemed to see through everything, and he was even proficient in the six supernatural powers of Buddhism. It was truly terrifying. Did he want to enlighten himself to buy something?
With a muffled sound, the large ship slowly docked, stirring up a stretch of turbid waves at the pier, the crashing spray instantly soaking the landing.
With Master bringing in such a powerful reinforcement, won't it add another formidable ally to defeating the nether-spring blood demon?
For a moment, spiritual energy surged intensely, and the battle grew fierce. The onlookers outside held their breath from afar, not daring to get too close.
They stood there dumbfounded, wanting to say something, yet not knowing how to begin. Their bellies full of doubt ultimately crystallized into the single question they cared about most.
This type of e-sports player is the most terrifying kind—they care neither for money nor fame, living only to experience the tension and excitement within the game, striving solely for that ultimate goal: the championship.
Seeing Lin Fan wake up, Xu Meng'er's face lit up with joy. At his words, she giggled and shook her head.
However, what Xiang Yun found eerie was that Xue'er's pure eyes often radiated an inexplicable and sharp brilliance that seemed capable of piercing through human hearts.
As long as you take the bait, I can pull you into the palm of my hand step by step. Once that happens, escaping will be entirely out of the question.
After all, Chen Ping might be his sister's only flesh and blood. Based on this alone, Lu Heng could never give up on Chen Ping.
Had it not been for Xiang Yun's appearance in this battle, even the likes of Li Daoran and the other two would have found it difficult to protect themselves. Naturally, everyone followed his words without the slightest hesitation.
Xie Yan was repeatedly driven back, but his defense remained completely orderly. Moreover, faint traces revealed that amidst his passive defense, Xie Yan was constantly performing some bizarre maneuvers, as if he were perceiving and comprehending something.
Though Gu Yao phrased her words nicely, every single sentence anchored on the filial piety of the princes, her ultimate goal was still to confine the princes to a single place and sever them from conferring strategies with their respective supporters and ministers.
According to the rules of confrontation, Number Nine was essentially a dead man at this point, disqualified from performing any activities reserved for the living. Yet, in this state, he held immense value for the Dragon Sting unit.
The pilot was also completely bewildered—why was he told to fly to Yanhai City one moment, and then ordered to turn back the next?
Lin Yu instantly activated the silver-tier barrier, enveloping Chen Tian and the others in a protective layer of golden light.
A blood-red pillar of light erupted from the black hole, directly condensing into a massive palm in mid-air. The palm prints were clearly visible and carried an overwhelming majesty. A terrifying fluctuation swept out crazily, stirring up a gale across the night sky and causing the clouds in the dark to churn violently.
Every single one of them had transcended the mortal realm. Although he had successfully reached the half-step Order Controller realm, he had only three hundred years of time, leaving him with zero confidence in achieving it.
Finally, the last part of the fierce beast's body emerged, though it remained hidden within the black mist, exhibiting an indescribable eeriness.
"This, this, this is really a map? It's not my hallucination, is it?" I muttered while uncontrollably raising my hand to rub my eyes hard.
Zhao Ming looked at the two fierce specters, his eyes rolling as he said to them, "Since the two of you don't know where you came from, it's possible you emerged from inside my body." At this thought, a chill ran through Zhao Ming's entire body.
The tiger's form gradually grew faint as Zhao Ming continuously amplified his output of vital energy. With the surge of energy within his body, a crisp explosion echoed, shattering the tiger's form into pieces before it vanished from the martial arts arena.
Right after settling Madam Mu into the side-room to lie down, Liu Menglan was "invited" out of her sleep, accompanied closely by Zhenzhu and Yuanbei.
Fang Fang's mother had her own set of logic. She said, "As the saying goes, heaven destroys those who do not look out for themselves. No matter what, shouldn't we at least think of our son?
The three ghost kings scrutinized the friends I had brought along, and Ling Ruifan wore a look of astonishment. Rice also displayed an expression of sheer disbelief.
At that moment, another door of the temple opened, and a middle-aged monk walked out. The moment this monk laid eyes on Hero Brother, his face immediately broke into a flattering smile as he hurried forward.
Dongmei's family lunch was very simple: Taotao served three bowls of dry noodles, three stir-fried dishes, and three bowls of noodle soup, and that was all.
Qi Jiu didn't wait for her to get out of bed before relaying the news: "The Han family has truly fallen into utter chaos. It seems the people who came from the Song family spotted suspicious clues, and preparations for encoffining are already underway."
At this moment, it was as if this blood were some sort of delicacy, and Wang Quan'gang resembled a vampire, his lips stained a dark, ominous red.
"I'll give you one day. If this matter isn't resolved by this exact time tomorrow, you will be held fully responsible for the losses," Director Li dropped these chilling words before pushing the door open and walking out.
Sister Hui was different. Having spent years making her way up through the dregs of society, she was deeply versed in its routines and dangers.
I looked toward the man, and Pei Qidong's face immediately flashed in my mind. He was none other than the international assassin with a profound passion for modifying cars and firearms, while the person next to him was naturally Situ Haoran, whom I had met on the train.
"Hmph, you are truly vastly different from those days. What a pity that the last shred of your sense of shame is entirely gone." Although Shi Wen-tian's cultivation was currently inferior to He Jiuming's, the gaze he cast at the other man was filled with utter disdain.
Recalling the past, Shu Lanyue felt an increasingly profound sense of guilt toward the child before her, having caused her to lose her parents not long after birth.
