Volume 1, Chapter 41: Car Crash and Slash by Hitmen

After hitting him, the driver slammed on the brakes and stopped, intending to admire his own masterpiece.

He looked up and felt as if he had just seen a ghost. What the hell was that?

He saw that after Ye Linchen's body was knocked into mid-air, instead of crashing straight down to the ground like an ordinary person and turning into a puddle of mush, what did he look like?

He racked his brain for a long time before finally finding the right description: he looked just like a leaf.

Such a large person was actually lying flat in the air, drifting lightly left and right as he slowly descended.

At the very moment of the crash, Ye Lin had been pleasantly surprised to find that although the car had struck him, he felt no pain at all, as if he were being...

Amidst a dense mass of thick connecting cables stood a sophisticated piece of mechanical equipment. At this moment, a slender figure sat upon it, eyes closed, a pale face tinged with a trace of pain.

"Some matters are well known to the high-ranking cultivators of the sect. That they have not required you to submit reports is already an act of mercy. As your master, I will say no more. You know the truth in your heart, so do not be so discontented," Wan Qinglong remarked cryptically.

The baleful aura gathered to form clouds, bearing a superficial resemblance to natural clouds. While clouds are formed from the transformation of rain and dew, baleful aura is the accumulation of heaven and earth's resentment. Although their shapes are strikingly similar, their essences are fundamentally polar opposites—one Yang and one Yin—and cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

After taking the medicine for two days, his face had turned green from the treatment, yet the nosebleeds still refused to stop, occasionally dripping down every now and then.

With a soft hum, Wang Hao once again urged the cyan behemoth forward, lunging to devour the two figures.

The guesthouse was warm, indeed, but after freezing outside all day, Yang Yi found it rather difficult to adjust upon returning. There was no time for him to acclimate, however, so he simply shivered and went to change into his ceremonial attire. Struck by the sudden transition from external heat to internal chill, Yang Yi sneezed several times. Feeling listless and plagued by a runny nose, he suspected he was coming down with a cold.

Snow White was far too cautious. She had prudently agreed to Forman's challenge to a decisive battle, considering that a final showdown was most advantageous to her. More importantly, should Yang Yi resort to deception, she could just as cautiously cross the river and gradually nibble away at the territory, eventually occupying Locke County.

The Ye family patriarch's pupils constricted. With a cold snort, the demon seemed to catch sight of the most terrifying thing imaginable, instantly turning into ashes and vanishing into thin air.

In a secluded corner of the primordial wilderness, Daoist Zhunti let out a soft exclamation of surprise and with a wave of his broad sleeve, swept up a blood-red mosquito. Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the two actually began to converse.

"Takakura, Takakura, how is the situation on your end?" Narita Yoshiko called out over her headset, hailing Takakura Eiki who had gone to provide reinforcements at the Imperial City.

Yang Tian nodded, went home, took a bath, and lay in bed, his mind replaying the myriad events of the day.

There were no screams. After the blink of an eye, the skull shattered into pieces, once again transforming into purple fire and silvery-white water.

However, fierce beasts that had reached the fourth tier of Mortal Shedding began to exhibit distinct differences. Once the demonic energy within their bodies was nurtured to a sufficient quantity, it could manifest outwardly, displaying all manner of divine abilities.

Lin Xiu carefully observed the dragon egg and distinctly noticed a series of fine cracks spreading across its surface, as if the egg were on the very verge of hatching.

Wu Zijian was feeling rather dejected at the moment, staring at the floor without paying any attention to the person standing at the entrance of the hall. Before Tang San could even open his mouth to warn him, Wu Zijian stepped squarely onto the foot of a young man who was pacing back and forth at the threshold while holding a slab-like brick.

Strictly speaking, both of them were still employing conventional moves rather than unleashing ultimate techniques. After all, neither had a firm grasp of the opponent's bottom line; once all supreme techniques were laid bare without instantly crushing the adversary, the subsequent situation would become extremely passive.

Seated atop the peak of Lintai Peak, in front of a serene and immaculate thatched cottage, the figure of Songyangzi—who had just uttered that sigh—was suddenly joined by a woman in iridescent robes and flowing sleeves, who materialized out of thin air in solemn silence.

The group of disciples from various sects standing nearby looked on with utter bewilderment as the six members of the Demonic Cult raised three streams of sword light and ascended into the sky.

Yun Feiyang had already cultivated the Primordial Genuine Qi to its absolute peak; the barrier he condensed was sturdy enough to withstand even the twentyfold pure spiritual power suppression unleashed by Zhang Heng's forbidden arts.

After all, this was not a true virtual game, but essentially a real world at its core, where executing skills still required the backing of one's own physical strength.

All of this was being pushed along from behind the scenes, with individuals whispering in the ears of the leaders and deliberately exaggerating the hazards of the mainland.

Later on, an elderly gentleman who had once practiced the Eight Trigrams Saber in the park came over to give Tianling some pointers, even teaching him a move called "Floating Clouds Covering the Peak." As a result, the old man almost tumbled over himself, giving Tianling a fright and sending everyone else into roaring laughter.

Lu Jinhuan's grip on the sword hilt tightened abruptly, and the sword qi within her body surged even more violently, like a stream of scorching fire pouring into her blood vessels before dispersing into countless tiny currents that flooded her limbs and bones.

Xiao Qing leaned forward slightly, speaking in a voice lower than before, though those to his left and right could still catch his words.

Qiao Shan looked at the unconcealed smile on her face, her lips twitching slightly as a premonition suddenly struck her that her future pocket money might be in severe jeopardy.

Xiao Qing suddenly thought of Hong Mo, but Moke was reluctant to remove the layers of wrapping covering Hong Mo. Xiao Qing had no choice but to coax Moke gently, finally managing to persuade Moke to turn around.

Lian Cheng and Huacen were pleasantly surprised to discover that their son had not only grown older, but his mind had also matured considerably.

Xiao Man felt rather helpless. She had been lost in thought pondering a problem just moments ago, so she could not entirely blame the other party.

He gripped his iron-rake artifact tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand, revealing his turbulent state of mind at that moment.

"True enough, but who on earth are you people? What are you here for?" Wang Yu felt a jolt of panic in her heart. Could it be that her parents had found out about Yao Yiyue paying the medical expenses on her behalf and had come all the way here to demand money?

Zhan Shaoang didn't really care which university he attended; as long as he didn't have to go abroad and could just amuse himself, he would be more than content.

Upon returning, Qin Yi could not wait to rush back to his room, where he first handed in the energy stone and then began to ponder the completion of his death mission.

I calmed my nerves and then rattled off the address of a hotel—the one I had stayed at last night, located right near the school. Because Pipi was assigned to protect me, I hadn't gone back to live at the school dorms; instead, I rented a room and stayed at the hotel together with Pipi.
