Chapter 49

Without saying a word to me, the ghost-faced figure suddenly cast a sword incantation, mounted a long sword that transformed into a streak of black light, soared into the sky, and vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.

Wang Kai thought to himself that in an environment like the sewers, even elite soldiers of the Umbrella Corporation would suffer casualties. He decided to let the vampires test the waters for his men first, and only deploy his own forces when the final target remained. Characters like Victor and Lucian were certainly capable of lasting until the very end.

The man wore a suit, gentle and refined as jade. The moment I looked at him, he was looking back at me. As our eyes met, a strong sense of déjà vu struck my mind. Have we met somewhere before?

"Damn it, what kind of look is that!" Ling Miao muttered, keeping his head down as he ate his noodles in large bites, while Ji Linxi noticed that the tips of Ling Miao's ears had turned red.

Watching Wang Shanhu and his departing troops from the East Gate, Dilong repeatedly urged them to be extremely cautious on the road, ensure seamless coordination among the three cavalry units without leaving any gaps, maintain strict vigilance along the route from the capital to Yanshan, and prevent even the slightest mishap.

The remaining passengers on the carriage were all students from the Business and Trade College who were rushing to school. Fearing they would be late, none of them dared to get off halfway. They merely frowned and pinched their noses. Those near the windows had already opened them early on, while those without windows squeezed desperately toward the front of the carriage, thanking the heavens simply for being a little further away from Ling Yang.

An Moya was slightly startled, clearly not expecting me to say such a thing. She frowned a little without replying.

I crave the full power of the Demon Lord. Even if I am reviled by thousands in the future, even if I am plunged into eternal damnation, I harbor no regrets and no complaints.

Upon returning to the estate, the elderly housekeeper Zhang Shitong saw that Dilong reeked of alcohol and promptly arranged for servants to draw a hot bath for him. Once Dilong was immersed in the large wooden tub, the alcohol in his system evaporated away with his sweat.

Chu Wanyi was a top accounting graduate and was equally proficient in all banking operations. Before graduation, she had even interned for several months at a local credit union where her university was located, and she knew that the bank's annual financial settlement fell precisely at midnight on the very last day of the year.

The next day, after a night of rest and a brief inquiry into what had actually happened nineteen years ago, the trio of Yun Tianhe headed early toward the Rolling Cloud Platform.

"Gabriel, do you think Tianhe suddenly slashed at this senior brother because of the sword intent left behind by Mr. Liu?" The voice was cold yet soft and melodious, accompanied by an exotic fragrance wafting through the air as Liu Mengli lightly moved her lotus steps to Gabriel's side and asked earnestly.

To have reached the peak of the Huajin realm, the time they had spent in the underground world certainly could not be short, yet even so, they had never heard of Gu Dongchen. This was one of the reasons they had previously mistaken Gu Dongchen for an ordinary person.

"I've brought the person! I'll be heading back now and will come over again tonight!" Bleda waved his hand and turned to walk toward the car.

Luo Xin and Lu Rude bowed again. Li Shizhen waved his hand, then looked at Luo Xin in silence, implying: If you have any other conditions, spit them out quickly.

Fang Zizai rolled his eyes. Looking down on me, are you? A hundred million top-grade spirit stones, what's so great about that?

Wang Sanpao cast an appreciative glance at the young man. This fellow was quite perceptive, which was why Wang Sanpao had accepted him when he came to surrender.

It turned out that ever since Baoyue left, Jingyi no longer had any heart for composing matching couplets to seek a suitor, day in and day out simply hoping for his return. Seeing that the half-year deadline had passed and there was still no sign of him, she was both heartbroken and filled with regret, to the point of becoming a nun out of despair.

In the end, Zheng Tuo had nothing more to say and casually asked the others about their goals after completing the terrifying reincarnation missions, which finally sparked some response.

However, Taishu Zhe immediately felt relieved. Even if the other party was infinitely close to the Foundation Establishment stage, so what? Though he was only at the eleventh tier of Qi Condensation, he was confident that given a little more time to break through to the twelfth tier, the outcome of a real fight remained unpredictable.

"Imperial Highness's consort, over there seems to be the Fourth Imperial Highness's consort and Princess Yunyang's group!" Xuexue's sharp eyes caught sight of Ye Yun and the others, and she hurriedly whispered in her mistress's ear to report.

His palm was very warm, with a touch of roughness that made Han Jinyu involuntarily tremble slightly.

"This tea is named 'Jade Wave Beauty', brewed from Yuhua tea and the special pink plums of Hanshan Temple." Song Ling rarely revealed a smile as she patiently explained.

After checking Han Jinyu's heart rate, the attending physician looked at Qi Ruize, then turned to soothe Han Jinyu.

The white tiger nudged Liu Dong's body with its head, then flipped him onto its back, carrying him deep into the mountains toward a cave.

Nearby, the warriors had dispersed at that moment, surrounding the instrument.

Liu Dong slightly twitched his fingers, looking very much like he was ready to strike at any moment.

The two agreed to first explore together the cave entrance Mingfei had discovered earlier. Mingfei took the lead with Lin Ke following closely behind. An indescribable fear gripped Lin Ke's heart; this was no casual leisure outing, and she had the lingering feeling that something terrifying would appear ahead. Fortunately, having Mingfei there boosted her sense of security significantly.

He raised his eyes and looked around. Because his five senses were sharper than ordinary people's, he spotted the vultures.

Even though they knew their gifts might be drowned out, most residents still enthusiastically engaged in it day after day.

She beat her own face frantically with both hands, striking herself until her nose and mouth bled, her entire body collapsing limply to the ground as she wept bitterly.

Watching Graf's slowly stirring spoon, Li Nanfang saw a face gradually surface in his mind once again.

However, the subsequent impact of this incident was far from over. The Sword Saint used his final glory to let everyone truly understand the might of an unparalleled swordsman. As for Xiongba and his World-Shaking Guild, after this event, their prestige grew even greater, and their momentum was unmatched.

"Even if you defect over there, you'll still just be slaves to others," someone sneered derisively. Power always has a time when it runs out, and unable to bear it any longer, someone tore the paper talisman in their hand and instantly vanished.
