Chapter 24

"Indeed, it is," Lin Feng nodded in agreement. Although he had anticipated resistance, he had not expected such a ferocious backlash. Without time to hesitate, he hurriedly tried to cast Burning Wrath upon himself, only to his alarm, he found he couldn't release the skill at all.

Nie Shao glanced anxiously at the situation. On the side of the Demons, there was the terrifyingly powerful Bloodpath Frenzied Sky, but on the Divine Origin Continent, no one could match him. "Bu Ting, let's deal with this Bloodpath Frenzied Sky together," he said. Yan Ying, with her peerless beauty, gazed sternly at Bloodpath Frenzied Sky.

As the Sword Sect Master, he should at least be above the Heaven Rank. From his demeanor, Nie Shao was certain he was a Martial Emperor—a level higher than the Heaven Rank. The leaders of World Society and the Martial Alliance were only of the Heaven Rank, but this Sword Sect Master was a Martial Emperor, truly extraordinary.

"If only you'd gone sooner, who knows how many lives you could've saved. Wasting time here—how foolish," Shen Shiren continued his harsh rebuke.

By contrast, the White Tiger hadn't suffered any grave injuries, but was still covered with minor wounds, not a single unscathed spot. Aside from the three Wind-chasing Steeds, it was the weakest in the arena. Were it not for its sturdy constitution, it would have perished already.

With a crisp "bang," Nie Shao was astonished. "That was the head of the Chaotic Demon?" Its strength was incredible; even its skull was as hard as a divine weapon.

The gap between Heavenly List players and ordinary players was immense—this was the conclusion everyone had come to after watching three days of the Huashan Sword Debate's mountain challenge.

However, Haige Ailo had no intention of moving the two corpses. Perhaps letting them lie quietly in this secluded place was the best choice.

If only he had known the Forbidden City had 360-degree holographic surveillance, Gao Shou would have pulled off the mask on the spot, easily exposing the truth.

Now, he had completely lost his former composure and elegance, looking like a gambler who had suddenly lost everything.

"Dr. Song, is it? Let's settle the score," Yan Jiuxiao was about to erupt, but Tang Feng restrained him, taking out his phone with a smile.

Clearly, the foreign shareholders were all furious, but most represented families or companies. Even if they were angry or dissatisfied, few dared to withdraw their shares outright—there were not many as bold as Andre.

Peng Linsheng sat in his chair, head bowed, puffing gloomily at his cigarette, brow deeply furrowed as he weighed whether to retreat.

In the single room, I urgently asked the attendant about my origins and what had happened to my family, but they seemed outsiders, oblivious to my questions.

That secret was like a nuclear weapon, held firmly in my mother's hand—or perhaps she was already prepared to use it.

Niu Yifei's expression changed instantly. He had thought these two didn't recognize the renowned Tianniu Group and so looked down on them as bumpkins—only to realize they didn't care at all. This was awkward, for all his arrogance, Niu Yifei was no fool; he suspected these two were no ordinary people.

No further explanation was needed—Ding Sina already understood the significance of dealing with the corpse. If the real Byron Bulworth had died here, and a double was still active as an Umbrella shareholder, this corpse could become pivotal in any future dealings with the shadowy power behind the scenes.

Liu Jianguo nodded, "I agree with the battalion commander's proposal." The others concurred.

No, he still had a vain younger sister. Someone had advised him to go to Lingjiang Prefecture, where Shu Jinzhi became a concubine.

The princess consort was formidable—if she saw through them, they'd be doomed before the mission even began.

Yulan was dumbfounded, realizing she could not escape Gao Chenfeng's grasp, despair flooding her mind.

Suddenly, someone patted her on the back and let out a startling "Ha!" She jumped in fright.

Though the mystery, once revealed, was nothing special, such delicate intuition was indeed rare.

Her figure vanished in a flash, slipping from the third floor and out of the villa.

Yang Riyue clearly had a greater jumping ability than Kikumar, yet while Kikumar kept evolving, Yang seemed stuck.

This also gave others the illusion that he wasn't injured! In truth, Akainu was already spent; his battle with Li Yi was now a contest of willpower.

The people were even more so; though they had yet to turn to cannibalism, they trampled one another in their desperation to flee.

Pedestrians on the street thought their eyes deceived them—they rubbed them vigorously, convinced it was all an illusion.

Most of her rented apartment was well-equipped, but she lacked cookware. Qin Ying brought groceries, estimating they wouldn’t have lunch until three or four in the afternoon.

"At a bottleneck in cultivation, or perhaps injured and seeking recovery," Xu Ling, an expert in this field and a cat demon, explained—she understood it even better than Zhang Minghao.

She instinctively thought the door just now was a teleportation array, but as soon as she stepped out, she was engulfed by a sea of flames, the scorching heat forcing her back.

A cruel smile flashed across Red Wolf's face. With a swipe of his fan-like hand, he lunged for Tang Haoran's shoulder.

At his order, the special ops team members all produced a device roughly ten centimeters long from their packs and attached it to their submachine guns—a silencer, specially developed by the Vanguard Army's research division in recent years, a perfect match for the special ops.

Yuan Qiuhua said, "No, it's just a fish that leapt ashore—a painter and photographer from Guangzhou came here to sketch and take photos. After I came back, I posted some scenic shots online. He saw how picturesque it was—like a paradise—and insisted on coming for inspiration."

Even a Yin-Yang master would hold an official post in the underworld; if I ever ran out of options, at least I'd have plenty of friends among the officials.

Two horns sprouted from his forehead, five meters tall; his entire body was a mass of bulging muscles, forming a monstrous figure.

And today, he had no intention of holding back. So when he told Xiong Qi to get lost, and Xiong Qi sneered and the weather began to shift, the wind and clouds truly changed.
