Volume One, Chapter 30: Can You Behave in the Car?

Masaki Shin shouted fiercely, and the surrounding flames suddenly surged upward. Flames began to burst forth from Masaki Shin himself, transforming him instantly into a colossal tree bathed in fire. At the scene, only Feng Wu Jiutian failed to grasp the significance of this event. Even the rival faction’s indomitable Long Wudi clearly understood the reasons behind it.

Therefore, for both Xue Xiaoxue and Wu Yi, finding a work capable of replacing the calamity brought by Kimura Namio became an urgent priority.

“Do you think this is all?” The boss seemed utterly indifferent to the fate of the cursed insects.

“If you have any ideas, just speak them out! As long as it’s within my power, I will surely fulfill your wishes!” Consort Pang declared proudly.

Recalling the enthusiastic discussions and high hopes of the audience moments ago, Xue Xiaoxue was determined not to let them down.

Upon learning about Yao Yao’s situation over the past decade, Chu Xun felt a sense of comfort. After all, receiving a character bestowed by the Holy Emperor was a kind of blessing for him.

The price for obtaining a divine artifact was the loss of one’s arm. Setting aside whether one could continue to live as a normal person, who would dare to recklessly accept such a legacy with an almost nonexistent success rate?

After the final farewells, Liu Yue hoisted his bag onto his back and quietly left the department.

However, on the scanned image, where Alphonse Howard’s hands should have been, an empty gap appeared, which was rather peculiar.

A pitch-black greatsword struck fiercely at the cervical vertebra of the skeletal dragon. With a crisp sound, a fierce flame burst forth.

In the end, he could only come along with Producer Su Yan to take a look. This was not the annual meeting, yet it resembled a performance at one.

He had no intention of taking these resources; currently, he lacked the energy to dispatch troops to transport them back to his territory. Returning them to the other side suited him just fine.

The comfort offered by Erlang Shen greatly eased Chen Mo’s worries. His doubts arose from unfamiliarity with the spirit realm, but he never questioned his master.

Lu Yuan stepped forward, finding only three soul crystals and nothing else, instantly feeling a wave of disappointment.

He fully immersed himself in the battlefield, like a war god, unleashing slaughter. The entire clan of magma giant apes felt invigorated, their morale soaring as if they had been given a powerful stimulant, and they began a counterattack against the giant crocodile clan.

“Cousin Horace, has something happened? I heard you led troops to attack Guangcheng Pass this time?” Ramsden inquired.

Su Lin pondered; he recalled seeing a video online stating that luxury cars usually have emergency supplies in their trunks.

Gu Shangqing felt the pressure from their gazes. Clutching a slice of meat dipped in sauce, he ate the entire piece in one bite.

Shao Hao’s fate was intertwined with the phoenix’s destiny. The Phoenix Kingdom appointed officials from among the hundred birds, with the phoenix as their totem. Their fortunes rose and fell together. Seeing the phoenix suffer losses despite favorable conditions, he was more worried than anyone.

While Qiu Gong Meizi spoke, a servant brought over a wooden box containing a damaged half of a bamboo slip.

If their plan in the Scarlet Flame Fairy Pool succeeded, their trend of competing evenly with the Grand Elder would gradually shift toward overwhelming dominance until they completely crushed the Grand Elder’s faction.

A level-three collection cannon tore through the air, striking the stellar ninth-rank powerhouse, and immediately exploded.

But how to capture Shi Lei Lei? If Jin Korte were present, it would be easier to seize her. Without his help, and not knowing her true strength, it became quite difficult.

This was also why she long accompanied Li Lingtian, and after growing up and transforming into human form, she looked exactly like him.

“He is Gu Shuo, my father’s adopted son back then, possessing the strength of a half-step former emperor. No need to elaborate how formidable a half-step immortal emperor is,” Qin Wuyang said gravely at this moment.

Perhaps because the cavalry and scout units had intimidated many without bloodshed, Wang Enming and Wei Dao’er behaved respectfully before Luo Kaixian, and both sides easily reached a non-aggression agreement before summer.

“Surrender...?” Shi Yuanqing replied blankly. He wished to decide but felt entangled and utterly confused.

On the west side of the canal embankment’s corridor stood several cold-resistant pines and cypresses. Under the dim moonlight, their shadows hung like vast giants in the silent night. Beneath their branches, several well-trained tall horses stood quietly, their backs echoing low murmurs.

As for this scorched wasteland, they cared little; it simply added another barrier to the ancient city of Navier.

I am now in a subtle stage—neither the best nor the worst—still far above those inferior geomancers who probably think I am quite formidable.

Now the stone monkey fears Tianpeng Yang Jian but has no dread of Heaven’s Court or the Jade Emperor. As long as relations are smoothed over, he can still wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

He looked at the black-clad, respectfully bowing ministers in the grand hall and thought of the vast Jin Kingdom territory and its hundreds of millions of people, and its millions of troops. A surge of heroic spirit and vigor welled up within him.

This arrogant and wanton immortal skeletal sage was clearly considering keeping these two by his side—at least one, possibly both.

If acceptance proved impossible, then outright refusal would suffice. Yet before reaching the final stage, Lin Rou still wished to avoid a complete break.

On this side, Qiao Rou opened her eyes after the imperial physician left, her unwillingness plainly etched on her face.

Golden light blazed brilliantly. Luo Haoxue’s figure almost completely vanished, able only to use his last strength to place a mark on this spell formation.

The next moment, several howling voices rang out again, and four zombies, no less formidable than the previous semi-divine corpses, charged out from both my sides.

“Perfected Golden Core stage; such a being cannot be easily slain. He bears a turbid divine tablet—I intend to investigate that further.”

“Indeed, when someone arrives, you can see it in their eyes—who would dare use their handkerchief as a tissue?” Luo Huaijing sneered coldly as always.
