Chapter 49

At this point, Lin Qi, Ye Hui, and I were already eliminated, while the opposing team still had three members left. Pouring every ounce of his remaining strength, Liu Han sprinted back to the bomb site. Without taking the time to adjust his aim, he raised his gun and fired straight ahead, scoring a headshot. The police officer fell just short of success, collapsing to the ground with deep regret.

The leader casually pointed at the weakest of the sixteen people, while the remaining fifteen continued to surround the captives. Standing outside the circle, the leader crossed his arms and watched.

"Do you really prefer someone who isn't clean to be your daddy? Is that Uncle Xiang unclean?" Qin the Dandy asked incredulously.

"I don't like hospitals. Both my mother and my grandmother left me in a hospital, and the smell here always reminds me of them," she murmured.

Leonardo was a playboy, but she didn't mind because she had a past of her own; as long as Leonardo liked her now, that was all that mattered.

Master was also in a difficult position. After all, Xia Fangyuan's current whereabouts were unknown, and with the world being so vast, where were they supposed to look for her?

Jingjia and Niannian felt a heavy weight lift from their hearts. "Then what will you do?" Niannian, whose mind was mature beyond her years, understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. That powerful man had cured her eyesight in exchange for her acting as Feng Yu's protector, and now that Feng Yu was saying he wouldn't force the matter, there had to be other conditions attached.

"Regarding such a momentous matter, this subordinate would never dare to deceive the emissary!" The Emperor bowed repeatedly while raising his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Towering century-old trees, weeds taller than a person, jungle undergrowth found only in tropical rainforests, and a wide variety of colorful, nameless flowers.

What?! Qin Ya's words turned the expressions of the Wang family members ashen, especially Wang Zilu. One had to know that Wang Yuanhong was his biological mother, yet Qin Ya was openly threatening to kill his mother in broad daylight?

There was no sea of treasures and gold coins as imagined, nor any abundance of rare heavenly materials. It was a far cry from the dragon lair Huai Ren had envisioned.

Are you kidding me? If Baozi found out I was matching drinks with him using mineral water, I reckon he'd want to risk his life fighting me.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist!" The Supremes cupped their fists in salute. While they were typically aloof and disdainful toward others, Jiang Hao had demonstrated the strength to contend with Supremes by virtue of the Purifying World Green Lotus in his hand. Coupled with his identity as a divine dragon of the Immortal Realm, their attitude was naturally extremely courteous.

Perhaps nobody would ever have imagined that one day they would sing the national anthem with such heart-rending emotion.

Yang Ren bent down, stooped over, and picked up a single copper coin from the ground. It was a very simple action, after all. Then he walked casually over to the carriage, brushed the mud off the coin, and slowly admired it.

Perhaps we could try the mouth-weaponry technique that might, possibly, perhaps, maybe not necessarily succeed? Well, it was impossible to communicate with a lunatic anyway.

Shentu Yi put on a solemn expression and nodded. Biyu grew even more anxious, her tears on the verge of falling.

In their eyes, even if they couldn't secure first place, being able to make it into the top sixteen was still a supreme honor.

By then, several popular television stations and over a dozen mainstream video websites would be broadcasting the entire event live.

Seeing that the golden flower was about to fly away, the Master of Tongtian let out a loud laugh, and the Decapitating Immortal Sword in front of him emitted a beam of light, instantly dispersing the golden flower.

Not to mention anything else, even online shopping nowadays comes with a 7-day no-reason return policy. Ren Xixi could easily demand a refund without returning the goods.

Although there was a smile on his face, it was clearly a sneer that held the Emperor in utter contempt.

Moreover, the materials Zheng Yi had given her contained somewhat imprecise data. Xu Rourou had previously visited the villages herself, and she dared say that if she were the one conducting the research, she couldn't possibly have done as well as the Economic Research Office.

Unfortunately, they were not qualified to enter the mountain for a closer look and were stopped at the foot of the mountain by fully armed Fangya soldiers.

Siyu Jie watched the three of them out, withdrew her gaze, and looked straight ahead as spiritual energy surged frantically out of her body like a gauze curtain.

Now the imperial power had been hollowed out, and less than ten percent of the royal dignity remained. If he did not use thunderous methods to intimidate people's hearts, regicide would happen over and over again.

Ning Ren treated X芙's wounds, burned her bloody clothes and the first-aid kit in the bathroom, and flushed the ashes down the toilet.

The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords remained steady and motionless, floating quietly around the Master of Tongtian without revealing a shred of murderous intent, looking just like four extremely ordinary mortal weapons.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the thousand imperial guards began to slowly retreat in unison, as if they shared a single mind.

As for Ren Lei, who had just opened his mouth, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, followed by a blurring of his vision. By the time the other person lowered their hand, his head had cleared again. Yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what had just happened, and even a moment of deep thought brought on a splitting headache that forced him to clutch his head with one hand.

Speaking of which, this insight stemmed from Yang Yi's observation of the carefree young master's breakthrough process, allowing him to combine it with the Great Dragon Elephant Kung Fu, hit the crucial point in a single remark, and awaken the carefree young master.

"Like this..." Zhou Yang never expected that at fifty years old, he would actually have to become a eunuch.

The group strolled leisurely along as pedestrians slowly began to thicken on the streets. After walking for so long, their legs felt sore and numb, so Li Liang volunteered to go to the carriage rental agency to hire a horse-drawn carriage.

For over half a month straight, Chu Wangshu finally succeeded in refining all nine Soul-Bewitching Banners. As long as he held a banner in his hand and waved it at any living person or creature, he could muddle their consciousness. Of course, this minor utility was hardly worth mentioning; what he truly valued was the formation effect of these banners, which was even capable of trapping cultivators.

"Brother Ye Fei, today was so dangerous it almost scared my heart right out of my chest." Walking along the road, Gongsun Xian'er hugged Ye Fei's arm with a terrified expression, feeling deeply frightened inside.

Gunshots rang out once more as three bullets whizzed through the air, practically sealing off all possible angles of evasion for Qin Hai.

Though he thought this way, Ziying plastered an expression of impending death on his face, his mouth moving in a chewing-like motion.
