Chapter 93: Taking a Desperate Gamble
Because Yang Min and Liu Xue often accompanied Qiu Yumeng on her wanderings and frequently stayed out all night, Qiu Yumeng bought a two-story villa for the two of them to live in, simply for convenience.
This was an upscale residential complex, and the property management was fairly good. Even in such heavy snowfall, they still kept working, at the very least clearing the snow from the roads so the residents could get around more easily.
Cao Mang parked the snowmobile at the villa gate, but then frowned...
At the head of the group were several priest-mages carrying bone staffs. They wore headdresses bristling with bird feathers and linen ritual robes, their eyes glittering as they muttered under their breath. In the air, some kind of ghostly flame drifted to and fro, making the scene all the more eerie.
For this negotiation, which could almost be called a historic meeting, Su Ruo had gone to enormous lengths. She had memorized every demand of BE Company by heart, so when she spoke of certain corporate metrics, she could recite them effortlessly, as though they were etched into her very bones.
The lightning element and the Light of Thunder, as well as the lightning element and the Prison of Judgment, had fused by nearly ten percent; the Light of Thunder and the Prison of Judgment were compatible.
After exchanging a few more moves, Mazhan knocked Yan Beike's blade to the ground, bringing the fight to an end.
As one of the first cities rebuilt after the outbreak of the gene virus, Changzhi now had a registered population of about five hundred thousand, and the number was still rising. What one saw upon leaving the airport was a city wholly in the making, a scene of renewal and unfinished work. Unlike the other shelters, this place carried a far more vigorous and thriving vitality.
The archers advanced, and Mazhan and the others braced their shields. After several volleys of arrow rain, Dunbu, the ten-thousand-man commander, charged in at the front. Unfortunately for him, all that awaited was slaughter, and another commander of ten thousand fell once more to Mazhan's hand.
"Why didn't I think of that? I’ve read the original story, after all. I know how to strengthen the body, I know the force of heaven and earth, I know the mysteries of the laws, I know fusion, soul mutation, earth, wind, water, and fire, I know how to shatter the world and break out into the universe..." Hadley slapped his own head several times.
From the fact that Hadley had even used the power of the Sovereign God in his lower-divine clone just now, it was clear that he was in no short supply of such power.
The young man, Dong Xuan, gave a light push with the tip of his foot and shot over to Qin Yufei's side in a flash, placing a hand on the car door to stop her from moving.
"So you plan to look around and see whether this cave has another exit?" Alex felt he had seen through Chen An's thoughts.
It turned out that all of this had been her own carefully staged performance. She had arranged every coincidence in advance and shifted everything onto Ji Manrou, making me hate Ji Manrou to the core. Then, by pretending to sympathize with her suffering and finding a way to get her out of the general's manor, she drew me in step by step, until I slowly fell into the trap she had long since set.
Anyway, now that everything had been exposed, I no longer had any burden of hiding it for the sake of He Yue's reputation.
Their voices were not very loud, but Qiao Mingyue was a martial artist, and her hearing was sharper than that of ordinary people. Every whispered word reached her ears. No wonder the atmosphere had felt wrong the moment she came in; so that was the reason.
Luo Yuntian, Divine Doctor Xue, and the others came out of the emergency room. Luo Yuntian glanced up and saw that many people had gathered outside.
If one were to follow Mo Huang's explanation, Ye Hua had stabbed Hua Xuanji with that sword in order to buy time. From what I had heard about Ye Hua, that did seem possible. But since the delay had already been bought, why had Ye Hua still been determined to exterminate Hua Xuanji completely?
She felt a little uneasy, but if she did not take this snow lotus, she would have no way to detoxify herself. And if the poison in her body was not cured, she would have no way to go and find Qi Jingyun. After all, as long as the poison remained, all the meridians in her body would stay sealed, leaving her unable to circulate inner energy, much less use her martial arts.
As someone from the special division, Lei Tianxing naturally knew that there were many hidden places in this world.
