Chapter 108: Absolutely Unworthy

Whenever someone came to the martial arts school to hire guards for their home or estate, at least one core member would be dispatched to lead the team, doing everything possible to ensure the employer’s safety. Otherwise, with so many security personnel applying, employers wouldn’t hire indiscriminately—they had to find a reputable establishment. This approach helped minimize the risk of those hired harboring ill intentions and causing harm to their employers.

In the following days, it was either snowing or foggy, and the temperature kept dropping.

...

Though Miyamoto Takeda’s swordsmanship was formidable, his agility couldn’t match his skill. He took a devastating kick from the Hell Demon King, gasping sharply in pain and stumbling back three long steps.

If Miao Chenmo were truly fooling herself, she found it hard to believe. Jiang Yimiao would never deceive her, let alone marry someone else—she simply wouldn’t do such a thing.

“Is there anyone more suitable than me? Just name one, and I’ll know,” Lena said.

He wished he could offer everything to Lin Jingsheng and was naturally unwilling to pour salt into his wounds. This was too cruel for Lin Jingsheng, who himself did not want to speak of the matter.

However, just as the two city lords were about to speak further, their expressions suddenly shifted. They abruptly turned toward the east, gazing intently through the window.

After all, one’s aura is a mysterious force, not something that can be easily explained in a sentence or two.

“You should rest at home, Miaomiao. Mom will go instead,” Ye Lan thought, hoping her husband could drink a little. She planned to stew some bone broth to help him recover.

“The situation has temporarily stabilized, but we need to observe him overnight to be certain. We will find the cause of his bleeding,” Lu Bai said. Such frequent internal bleeding must have other reasons.

“I told you, you only get one chance to attack,” Yi Tian said. Though defeated by Big, he had also sustained some injuries, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but nothing serious.

Gazing at the rapidly charging demon puppet, Jiang Wei stomped his foot. The power of his soul surged like a tidal wave, sweeping forth instantly before fiercely suppressing the demon puppet.

Clad in white and bowing his head, his earnest posture at the piano momentarily made Leng Yurou feel as if she had drifted back to when she was fifteen.

“Impressive, quasi-Sage level strength. These past few years haven’t been wasted. Holy Light Academy truly deserves its reputation as the continent’s premier institution!” Upon seeing John, Rod’s expression brightened considerably, a faint smile breaking through, like the melting of an iceberg revealing a gentler side.

Surely reinforcements had arrived—this meant salvation. If they could hold on a little longer, once those people came, the crisis would be averted.

Covering her face, Leng Yurou recalled Long Moxuan’s words with a shudder of fear, then let out a bitter laugh. As she laughed, tears began to fall despite herself.

Ling Xuewei, who had long been trailing Fang Haojie, hid in the shadows and secretly pressed the camera button on her phone, capturing the undeniably intimate scene. Looking at the unexpected evidence in her hands, she smiled faintly before turning and leaving the restroom.

After a few breaths’ pause, countless intersecting sword auras gathered beneath the tip of the massive sword body, then slowly propelled the entire blade upward.

The sound of crying echoed endlessly nearby. The boy who had just surfaced shivered uncontrollably, burying his head in the wild grass and daring not to show himself again.

“Bring me the phone—I’m calling the police!” Wang Zhongtian said, growing impatient. Just as a bodyguard handed him the phone to report to the Shanghai police, another guard hurriedly entered.

After years apart, the “Phoenix Terrace” once again appeared before everyone. The entire platform was coated with dazzling gold paint, sparkling so brightly under the sunlight that it dazzled all who looked upon it.
