Chapter 19

The zombie warriors below began to grow anxious as well. They had already seen the superpowered warriors charging onto the city walls. Although the walls were slippery and solid, that did not mean they were without means to overcome them.

We set out at dawn, and logically, as time passed, the fog should have begun to dissipate and the sun should have risen.

If one was chosen directly by the Underworld Palace to participate in the ranking battles, their strength should be formidable—at the very least, not much weaker than the Underworld Sovereign.

However, the snowballs thrown by Yun Hao seldom hit their mark. Even when a few landed, they mostly struck Zhao Ya’s posterior.

A shaft of pure light shone on the embodiment of fate, whose once elusive and ethereal form gradually solidified, fully exposed beneath Taixuan’s pointed finger.

Seeing the situation, Yuan Tan feared his doom was inevitable and thus appealed emotionally to Gao Lan in his words.

Lin Xiao listened from afar, barely containing his laughter. Leading Xuan’er forward, he stepped away just as one of the green-haired creatures screamed and lunged at him with outstretched claws.

He needed Orochimaru’s assistance to study his own cellular genes, to determine whether chakra truly existed within his cells, and to uncover the reason he was unable to refine chakra.

“You…” The old matriarch’s expression changed. Over the years, she had never acknowledged Mo Wen as her son. Watching him grow increasingly resemble that heartless man, she could not quite articulate the complex emotions stirring within her.

“What ‘you’? The Soul-Consuming Hook is such a fine tool. If I don’t let you use it, wouldn’t that be a waste of such a ‘treasure’?” A Soul-Consuming Hook was embedded in Luo Yunxi’s wrist as Luo Qingyue spoke with casual ease.

Yin Luoxuan’s eyes darkened. First, he needed to understand that this queen was not Murong Yinzhu’s doing but the demand of King Qin Chuan. What was King Qin Chuan’s ultimate goal?

The modified Iveco van was split into two sections. The front half served as the driver’s cabin with only two seats, while the rear was converted into a fully enclosed living room. Thus, he could only communicate with those ahead via walkie-talkie.

Gu En’en took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Han Chengchi’s neck, lifting her chin to deepen the ‘kiss.’

The scene was utterly filthy and revolting, suffused with an air of decay and vulgarity, leaving Li Chen momentarily stunned.

“Why? Just so I could come see the good things here?” A fiery anger rose within her chest, yet she restrained it from bursting forth.

Today was the grand wedding day for Yan and me, so earlier on the road, we agreed that since heaven cherishes life, before your death, I would take some of your skin tissue. After you pass, we shall preserve this species of gu.

Xi Jianjin also fired his gun, but as he spoke on the phone, he simultaneously shot with unerring precision, striking the gun in Madam Gu’s hand before she could fire.

Perhaps it was pity for her, perhaps solidarity born of shared hardship, or perhaps simply the prince’s boredom.

Pushed by Xiao Yuheng toward the dining hall, Huang Nuo and the others froze for a moment at Xiao Yuheng’s appearance but then ignored him.

They had not expected that foul girl to be so capable, speaking in such a layered manner, and even boldly warning them with such force.

Soon after, Tang Mengyu and the Ice Fairy went shopping for clothes, wandering about, stopping and starting, only looking and not buying, just walking.

Outside, the battle raged fiercely. The Grand Elder clashed against a man wearing a demonic mask, surrounded by other disciples. Su Yun scanned the scene and spotted Ning Zian not far from the Grand Elder.

Su Yun naturally understood his intentions and carefully used the spiritual spring water to cleanse the wounds of the disciples from the Azure Sky Palace.

Now was not the time to ponder the King of Hell. Regardless of how long Hong Qin might live, at least for now, I must do my best to save her.

Seeing their expressions of confusion, Ye Xuanyuan explained the business of opening the shop to them.

“Aunt Su?” Su Ming was taken aback. This girl usually acted so close to her, always calling her ‘mother.’ Why had she suddenly switched to calling her ‘aunt’?

At that moment, real-time footage from Tokyo was transmitted back and projected onto the large screen, visible even to Flying Eagle.

“Wait.” Gu Yufei suddenly called out to Shen Guanguan. With Yang Zheng absent, Shen Guanguan felt somewhat nervous. If Gu Yufei and Lu Ye now insisted on searching her bag, she would be in danger.

“I’ll give you three seconds. Let her go!” Shen Yi suddenly appeared, holding a gun, and steadily approached Gu Qingyuan until he stood before him.

The voice and presence emerged as if from nowhere: the worldly traveler is unforgettable; whom do I recognize, and who recognizes me? The road gradually grows distant, this sequence, this search, nowhere to be found.

Huo Lingfeng cupped her face, drawing her into a deeper kiss. Between lips and teeth, their breaths mingled, their heartbeats tightly synchronized.

Li Chengqian accepted the lesson. The emperor had often reminded him that the worst fate was a tail too big to shake off.

However, Ye Hua’s many years of experience had tempered him into calm as still water. Even amid such sudden beginnings, he showed not the slightest sign of panic.
