Chapter 334: Did You Slack Off Today?

I could not go on, the words dying in my throat. At one time, I had even been filled with gratitude toward this man, but when everything reached its end, it proved to be nothing more than the most meticulously engineered trap, where I, Gao Cheng, and Xu Jianglun were all mere pawns upon this chessboard.

Walker was dead, bearing a towering resentment and a lingering dread for Evelyn. One could not tell if the venom had corroded the muscles of his face, but that countenance of his actually began to revert gradually to an expression of profound arrogance.

"Did he say what the corpse looked like when it was salvaged? Was there anything bound to the body?" Su Wanmei inquired.

Long Sheng paused for a fleeting breath, drawing it in deeply before he gripped his dagger and thrust it forward with the velocity of a lightning bolt.

"Ugh..." Ah Xin shivered involuntarily, stimulated by the vivid imagery cascading through his mind.

Young Master Du hastily offered me his apologies, explaining that Ning Ling was not usually like this; though she possessed a bit of a temper, she treated others very well, which was why their relationship was so close. He could not comprehend what had possessed her to act this way today.

Swift Combo, Sweep, and Heavy Cleave—three skills were unleashed by Qian Cheng in a single instant, smashing ruthlessly into Blood-Spattered Skies and dealing three massive instances of damage, one of which even triggered a critical strike.

"As of right now, I only see that you people have beaten someone until they collapsed on the ground; I have seen no one else causing trouble here," Ye Chaohai stated.

My mind put at ease, I wiped the water from my face and stepped out of the bathroom to help Chen Le pack his things.

Months of amicable interaction had allowed Gao Yu to get to know every single Soul Reaper within the Fifth Division, and he could call out each and every one of their names.

As expected, the rest of the group merely felt the children were playing around, and once they discovered that Suisui and Misi were unharmed, their hearts were set at ease.

The marks upon the flesh, including the used prophylactics—I knew not how many times I had witnessed them inside that freezing villa.

Jiang Yan's strength attribute now soared past two hundred, so that even stripped of all equipment, his health pool exceeded two thousand points.

Jiang Qingwan dressed very inconspicuously today, in a simple white T-shirt and light-colored jeans, with a canvas bag slung loosely over her shoulder.

In truth, during a past life, exploration into the deep mountains for experiments was a frequent endeavor; as time went on, an intimacy with wild vegetables naturally developed.

Everyone was once more struck with awe by Ji Yuning's genius; he possessed the ability to take the rich poetry of classical verses and sing them effortlessly in the vernacular, yet in a manner so exquisitely beautiful. Moreover, it resonated perfectly with the national style cherished in the hearts of all Chinese people.

Should Nan Wan marry him in the future, she would inherit a dowry of two.six billion dollars left by Nan Fanzhao, along with an enterprise in Kyoto; she and Nan Keying had no need for a company like the Jiangnan Group.

Chilling, as though possessing countless legs and remaining invisible, insects of that nature will invariably amplify a person's terror.

What Szayelaporro pursued was indeed 'rebirth after death,' which in his mind constituted the perfect life; just who was this fellow, and how on earth did he discern the innermost thoughts of his heart?

The men surrounding her began to call out their bids. The madam frolicked upon the stage, whipping the atmosphere into a frenzy. The highest bidder would become the very first patron to grace Hongluan's bed.

No sooner had the words fallen than a turbulent torrent of spiritual energy, in no way inferior to the opponent's, erupted violently, crashing head-on against the oncoming tempest of spiritual power.

At that precise moment, the solitary item Liu Moyan carried that could serve as a concealed weapon was torn asunder by his hands; a string of beads, propelled by the flicking of his ten fingers, shot toward the branches and leaves long since memorized, which were primed to discharge crossbow bolts.

Wang Jue was left somewhat dazed by the Demon Venerable's enigmatic utterances, momentarily at a loss as to their meaning.

"Is the Xinlan Palace a place you dare covet? I have not yet bestowed upon you the title of Empress, yet you have presumed to crown yourself," Xuanyuan Rui murmured, his voice heavy with suppressed fury.

Li Ye's thoughts began to clear now; the bond between himself and Yan Sumin was a personal connection, not one of superior and subordinate, meaning that even the Sima of Laizhou possessed no authority to assign tasks to him; this was a trap, but who wished to harm him, and to what purpose.

Fan Xiaodong extended his palm and struck; at such close quarters, the Sea-Devouring Fire Evolution Palm instantly shattered Ye Peng's physical form, and after the intense heat incinerated it, a clump of primordial soul remained, which Fan Xiaodong captured in his hand with a shift of his palm before executing the Soul-Searching Technique.

The reaction from Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki was profound; existing now in a state of pure soul, the sudden influx of such formidable life force vastly exceeded anything they had possessed during their lifetimes.

I gave him a subtle nod, fully aware that even if I wished to cry out now, no one would hear. Seeing my compliance, the man reached out and tapped twice firmly upon my neck, and with a guttural click, I could finally find my voice.

"Let us go and see what this Bai Na is up to." Both of them harbored a mutual desire to uncover exactly what business had taken her away.

Yet the primary speaker during this evening of wine and conversation was Tan Dawei, for he felt that if he did not seize this moment to instill the ways of the criminal underworld into Ma Yong and the others, these brothers of his might suffer a grievous loss.

Previously, whenever harassment occurred in the counties surrounding Chucheng, or when anti-Japanese armed forces ambushed the supply convoys of the Japanese army, the garrison stationed at Chucheng would dispatch vehicles or cavalry to reinforce them. Yet now, this entire unit had been utterly annihilated by Hu Biao.

"...Urgh!" The youth was just about to take a step forward when a violent wave of nausea overwhelmed him, forcing him to lower his head and retch uncontrollably.

"Have no fear; if those people dare block our path, I shall summon ten thousand serpents to bite them to death," Duo'er said, gritting her teeth.

The bald man snapped to attention and saluted, saying, "Yes, Captain! I shall call Fatty over immediately." With that, he turned and vanished at a run.

At this moment, Blondie spoke up, "Big brother, just call me Blondie, I prefer it that way; we only came to know each other through a fight, so you can call me whatever you like, there's no need for such formality."
