Volume 1, Chapter 63: The Handiwork of Li Fengshan

The entity battling him, Devour, seemed more like a pulling force instead. Yet, he offered no defense whatsoever, allowing Cronus's attacks to land squarely on his body. With a mere quiver of his flab, he dissolved the assault into nothingness. His own counterattacks, meanwhile, were equally mighty and carried a profound sense of raw power.

Gu Lingze opened his mouth to speak, but a tidal wave of memories surged into his mind, causing him to instinctively frown.

"Right, I still have to go to work, I should get going." Hearing Lan Qiqi's words, Jiang Bokai glanced at his wristwatch and hurried out toward the company.

Besides, given Chen Xiu's intellect and cognitive capacity at the time, even if Sun Changping had spoken with absolute bluntness, it remained doubtful whether she would have believed it.

As for the two of them, they were still in their probationary period as novice recruits. Normally, their duties were limited to helping change bed sheets, cleaning hospital wards, delivering intravenous drips, and occasionally supervising patients while they took their medicine. Any tasks involving even the slightest bit of technical skill, such as drawing blood or giving injections, never fell to them. Therefore, slipping away early could hardly be considered a serious matter.

"I want to intentionally appear before Jue Zhiyuan and find a way to re-enter the Jue family. Only by getting close to the people within the Jue family can I find out who the mastermind behind the scenes was half a year ago." Lan Xingxing clenched her fists. It was Pei Gaoang who had saved her from plunging into the abyss of the sea after causing the car accident that nearly cost her her life.

Aside from those few individuals who ran amok and constantly stirred up trouble in the team every day, no one else had so much leisure time, nor the sheer audacity.

Just as He Yao pointed, however, a silk ribbon fluttered gently in the breeze, faintly revealing the character "Lin" embroidered upon it.

"Work? Could it be that you don't know you've been dismissed?" Fan Jingyun suddenly cried out in surprise, her eyes fixed on Lan Xingxing with the gleam of a spectator watching a good show.

Everyone shifted their gaze toward Qin Chuhan. This joint campaign by the four nations to invade Qianyuan had been relentlessly spearheaded and driven forward almost single-handedly by this Crown Prince of Qianhan.

To expect them to wait here was an absolute impossibility, for they had no way of knowing when Li Yuqing would return, and they themselves had to report back to their superiors. After pondering for a moment, Eunuch Wang said to Li Yuxin, "Since she is not here, then so be it. You are her younger sister, so you can accept the imperial decree on Li Yuqing's behalf; it is all the same anyway."

Given that Chen Xu was currently covered from head to toe in human waste, Zhang Tianci truly did not dare to pursue him. If they were to start fighting again, he would inevitably become tainted by these filthy substances.

"How is it? Can you speak? Try it. Your third brother said that as long as you can move, you can speak." Murong Chong stared anxiously at Tianjiao's face.

He wondered how the soapberry trees on the mountain were growing. No one knew what those trees were used for yet, so Li Yuqing planned to harvest all the soapberry pods from the trees first if possible, and then transport them back in separate batches.

The wooden cabin she lived in was actually very crude and simple. Aside from the basic furnishings—a bed, a table, a few long benches, and a cabinet—there were only a few potted flowers and plants.

"Does it still need proof?" Even his voice had turned somewhat profound, giving the illusory impression of a living Buddha manifesting in the mortal world.

"Let me check." Zhang Tianci grasped Jin Siyu's hand, his consciousness spreading outward along the irregular cracks in the solid ice.

A roar echoed through the air, and a golden flash appeared in Sun Denuo's field of vision. Startled, Sun Denuo instinctively mustered all his strength and struck out with a fierce palm strike.

"Speak, what are you doing out here?" Chen Yun was naturally not asking in a literal sense, but rather questioning why they had chosen to manifest themselves in the mortal realm.

Shrouded by the heavy storm clouds overhead, the forest was pitch black, yet those brightly glowing torches resembled a cluster of stars beneath the night sky. Pairs of crimson eyes reflecting the firelight completely illuminated Voderica's field of view.

Getting closer, closer still. Seeing the densely packed tents less than ten zhang ahead, Lu Jin felt as though his breathing was about to stop.

If not for Diliya Fei'er's special status, let alone Auma, a general guarding the border city, even the two young lords of the Milo Kingdom would not have been qualified to possess Diliya Fei'er.

As for his performance on the court, as the core player, it went without saying, and talking about it excessively served no real purpose. Instead, praising one's teammates more at a time like this was far more beneficial to the team as a whole.

It was somewhat akin to modern-day corporations that grew enthusiastic about sponsoring or attaching their names to various events, even when those events were cross-industry or seemingly unrelated. Aside from promotional exposure, the underlying goal of such actions was to enhance their own brand image.

Gazing out into the distance from the summit of Mingyan Peak, they saw churning black clouds and rampant demonic entities. The once picturesque mountains, rivers, and villages were now blanketed in scenes reminiscent of the end of the world.

Just at that moment, Diana charged forward ahead of the others. The God-killer Sword in her hand erupted with orange-red flames as she brought it down in a fierce, overhead slash toward Hela.

"Then do you have a way to let us see it as well?" Though still somewhat incredulous, Nami nevertheless grabbed Aaron tightly by the shoulders, looking at him with eyes brimming with eager anticipation.

Or rather, there was nothing much that could change: Durant played isolation, followed by Westbrook playing isolation—this was their strategy, and during bench rotations, they simply swapped in James Harden to play isolation.

This was a self-defeating course of action. Count Cassel could already foresee that once the Roland family was exterminated, the three remaining families would inevitably unite to boycott the House of Cassel.

Although Jiang Qing possessed no martial prowess, the terrifying depth of his strategic mind commanded the profound awe of everyone throughout Jianghuai City.

An Bang and Ostalov boarded the lengthened Lincoln, while the rest of the entourage climbed into the commercial vans trailing behind. The fleet of vehicles then set off in the direction of the Silona continent.
