Volume One, Chapter 49: The Pursuit

Fu Yichen stormed off in a fury.

Shu Ya was stunned for a moment.

If this were in the city, the sound of cars, horns, and advertisements would have been incessant, a cacophony of noise. But here, all of that had vanished.

The day Zong Linnan mentioned was exactly the third day after he had finished talking with Tie Laowu. Speaking of which, they hadn’t really discussed anything; Zong Linnan had simply spent the whole day entertaining Tie Laowu for no reason.

Even if Lu Chen could casually shatter bullets from a distance, that wouldn’t suffice—these mercenaries wielded weapons far more powerful than mere bullets.

The five great sects stood as the pillars of the cultivation world. Yet this year, Master Huichen of the Fankong Sect was conspicuously absent, leaving many puzzled.

The boatman was equally astonished but could not afford the slightest carelessness. Xu Changfeng’s sword followed swiftly, and with a crisp clash, the boatman was struck by an invisible sword force and sent sprawling to the ground. The dark green short sword radiated a chilling aura.

Thus, when Shen Zhiwei’s body stiffened briefly but she obediently followed along, Yu Qiao was deeply shocked.

After five or six minutes, Li Xin had purchased all three hundred tons of copper and opened the position, then finally stopped.

Chen Fan looked at the army before him, and with a voice imbued with spiritual power so all could hear, he paused after about half an hour. Looking at the fifty or sixty thousand troops kneeling in front of him, Chen Fan’s eyes flickered with thoughts unknown.

The dried corpse bore Mi Guang’s hairstyle, its slightly plump face shriveled like a deflated balloon, the entire body sagging as if drained of air. From afar, one could sense the resentment radiating from the corpse.

Teacher Lin considered himself very familiar with Li Xin’s skill in handling affairs, but from Li Xin’s performance over the past month, he had come to see him anew: this young man’s potential was truly boundless. What astonishing feats he might accomplish in the future, no one could say.

Moreover, the human body’s organs and meridians were complex; a slight misstep could cause a broken bone to damage other areas. One must understand the body’s structure precisely, with techniques accurate to the tiniest fraction.

Countless thick thorns, like tentacles, pierced through the deep sea, resembling the limbs of some colossal marine creature.

Yet even so, Sister Jing’s unwavering demeanor seemed to command the situation invisibly.

Xiang Lianmeng stared at her son who had just been before her, then suddenly he vanished in a flash. She was momentarily stunned before following swiftly.

Just as the werewolf was pondering, a bullet shot fiercely toward its forehead. Startled, it ducked just in time to evade the strike.

It was only that some bystanders had gathered to watch, briefly blocking the view of me and Song Jiayun.

A few crisp gunshots shattered the night’s silence. Several natives, caught off guard, fell into pools of blood before they could react.

Meanwhile, in an underground research institute in Washington, Jonathan was holding a joint meeting with several other academy professors inside a sealed office.

Old Lady Qiu naturally understood Ye Chen’s meaning. That day at the company, Shen Yongyuan had humiliated Shen Xinyi publicly.

Although the Boston Celtics were defensively overwhelmed by Yao Ming, all five starters on offense managed to score.

Peng Xuanming nearly spat blood in rage. A top-tier expert of the Qianlong Continent, being treated like a mere mount was an utter disgrace.

Yun Shao looked puzzled. She rose and opened the door, only to see Xu Xiaoling standing there somewhat awkwardly.
