Chapter 34: I Will Compete Against You All
"Nonsense! Of course we pursue; don't forget our mission!" The soldier in charge of driving the lead vehicle, a man of about forty, roared gruffly. Once all his companions had scrambled back into the truck, he slammed his foot onto the accelerator and sped off in pursuit.
Karl realized he had found a way to influence Princess Alicia. While she was absolutely rational, he could transmit simple desires and thoughts to her by constantly suggesting them to himself before falling asleep.
It was only after the jailer had left the cell that he dared to groan in a low voice, though he lacked the courage to actually cry out his innocence.
The Boundless Sacred Fruit condensed dozens of fundamental laws. Although it could not bring Jiang Xiao to the Great Dao in a short time, he was now only one law away from reaching the Heavenly Dao realm, which was of utmost importance to him.
"We have been stuck under five hundred laws for how long now? Each law now takes us a hundred billion years to comprehend, which suggests our cultivation has taken a wrong turn. The legendary supreme treasures of the Chaos tribes are each unique to a specific attribute and contain more powerful laws—these are what we have always sought."
She was born into a century-old family of traditional medicine, and from a young age, she had begun to learn and inherit various pharmacological and medical arts. Her life should have been peaceful and beautiful.
Zhu Rong stepped back, while Zhu Jiuyin and Di Jiang simultaneously unleashed the power of time and space to resist. Qiang Liang pointed into the high sky, and a layer of thunderous light gathered and crashed down. Meanwhile, Zhu Rong swept up billions of feet of Primordial Chaos True Fire from below, surging toward Taiyi.
Nangong Yunyao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned his gaze toward the figure rushing toward him. Upon seeing it was a large, coffee-colored spirit monkey, his eyes narrowed. Finding he could not discern the beast's rank, he frowned and projected a thread of spiritual consciousness to probe it.
Nangong Yunyao’s originally thick shield was now reduced to a mere transparent wisp, nearly pierced through. Fortunately, he had only suffered minor injuries and had ultimately managed to block the giant eagle's attack.
Immediately, Fei Qianlan and the other two began to retrace their steps. One kilometer away at the Northwest Camp, the dilapidated wooden fences were thrown wide open. Scattered inside and out were the uncollected remains of limbs and bones, and the soldiers originally stationed to guard the place were jumping into ready-to-go military trucks, clearly intending to evacuate.
Only then did I slowly turn around to look at the stone sarcophagus. For some reason, seeing it open did not fill me with excitement; instead, I felt a wave of trepidation, and for a moment, I even wanted to flee. Shaken, I steadied my mind, took a breath, and walked toward the sarcophagus.
I forced myself to endure the thick, pungent stench so I wouldn't vomit in front of the victim, observed the symptoms carefully for a few moments, and then hurriedly scrambled out of the vehicle.
From a distance, I felt gusts of yin energy blowing toward me, which were deeply unsettling; it seemed as if these chilling breaths were rising from beneath the cliff.
"Zephyr, why have you called us here?" Sitting at the head of the long table, Sengoku looked at Zephyr, who had notified everyone of the gathering.
Mo Qianqian dared not touch the clothes again after seeing the tag. Han Jinfeng couldn't help but laugh at himself for choosing such a silly girl, though his gaze became hesitant once more when he looked at Wang Jie.
Huang Jun spoke while examining it carefully for a while, saying, "This is the handwriting of a demon; this is how a demon writes."
However, it was also known that in recent years, the Navy had seen no dazzling new recruits, showing signs of a gap in the generations.
"At the very least, until this matter is clarified, you cannot leave the Zhao family!" Zhao the Second said coldly.
Zhang Yanze swung his broadsword, instantly splitting the wooden table into pieces. Seeing his immense strength and glancing at the generals in the room, Le Yiyang realized that if he were to assassinate Du Zhongwei, he would inevitably have to clash with these men later. Therefore, he deliberately held back his strength, avoiding a life-or-death struggle with Zhang Yanze.
Zhang Jiao didn't mention Gao Jun, but from her down to the narcotics captain, everyone knew clearly that if the matter had progressed so smoothly, the primary credit belonged to Gao Jun.
Bai Yitian and Bai Lishan were ashen-faced; they both knew it was impossible to rescue Bai Xi now.
For instance, those who use metal-attribute elemental energy can extract metal-attribute energy from iron ore, while those who use wood-attribute energy can derive it from flowers, trees, and vegetation.
Those beads exploded one after another, and the soldiers at the center of the blasts were killed almost instantly.
A man dressed in black appeared in Ye Meng’s field of vision, a black sword strapped to his back, his eyes gleaming like those of a wild wolf.
"I sent people to fetch you and the silver wolves several times, but you were always ungrateful. So, the last time I sent 'people'—if one wants to be cruel, one must be human."
Jiang Tianyu and I were once colleagues, and they all knew this. With that said, Hua Cong stopped blocking the way and reluctantly entered the building with me.
Chang Gongzi was so terrified his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto Mo Ya's back. At the last moment, he shouted, "Block him, Mo Ya, block him!" It ultimately served its purpose; at the critical moment, Mo Ya soared upward, clashing his sharp claws against Shen Fei's treasured sword.
As soon as these words were spoken, He Xiangdong’s eyes lit up. The setup was beautiful; this must have hooked the audience’s appetite, right? He glanced to the side and found that it was indeed so.
Jiang Ning forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, his gaze shifting between the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor, finally landing on the Demon Emperor. Having heard the Demon Emperor's words just now, Jiang Ning understood that the Immortal Emperor had not been truthful with him earlier; there was a hidden agenda.
