Chapter 97: That Is Abuse!

Moreover, after what happened this time, the demon army will realize that both this incident and the previous one were carried out by humans. In that case... their next step will certainly be to place the entire city under martial law and conduct a manhunt. Under such a sweeping search by the demon army, what chance will they have of escaping?

Without giving Ke Wang much time to catch his breath, Chuan Xi planted one foot on the desk and launched himself at him with a flying knee strike.

Gu Qingzhou’s skin was slightly cool, and her five fingers slender. A series of ripples stirred in Gaoqiao Xun’s heart, and for no apparent reason, his cheeks began to burn.

Take frogs and toads, for example. One has bumps on its back and the other does not, but once they are turned into black shapes, the two forms become extremely similar. Without looking carefully, it is difficult to tell them apart.

In terms of overall compatibility as a romantic partner, he was far better than Ma Si. Most importantly, Zhang Hao was excellent at basketball and was tall as well. Ma Si had only just reached five feet seven, whereas Zhang Hao stood six feet one, a full head and a shoulder taller than her.

“Ke Wang, come out for a moment.” The director’s expression was somewhat complicated as he scrutinized Ke Wang, who was walking out from his seat.

Bai Mao stared at Chen Qingqiu, who had fainted. If not for her, they would never have ended up in a place like this. The flames of the burning talisman gradually died down. Suddenly, Bai Mao lifted Chen Qingqiu into his arms, removed one of his coats, and set it alight.

“This is attempted murder, and it has nothing to do with a dream. Everything is real. If you continue resisting to the bitter end, you may ultimately be sentenced to death!” Shao Dong said, each word clipped and deliberate.

Leng Qingyou was utterly bewildered. She looked at Ling Xi, then at Ming You. Thinking that her mother’s arrangements could not possibly harm her, she decided there was nothing to worry about and simply followed Ling Xi.

The Divine-Demon Rat trailing behind them let out a long breath. It had been holding it in so painfully that its belly had shrunk by an entire circle.

Teacher Zhu, whose hair was cut short to her ears, also spotted Li Si and, reassured, handed the child over to her.

Although Bai Qing’er was apologizing, the God of War Xiuchen still felt that the way she called him “Miaoli” was strangely sinister. After all, Zhang Ruochin, who habitually liked to joke about her gender, had just called him “Xiuchen.”

The cavalrymen nearest at hand had already slung their submachine guns over their shoulders. Raising the sabers in their hands high, they brought them down upon the panic-stricken Russian soldiers before them. In an instant, blood and flesh flew through the allied ranks, amid a chorus of agonized screams.

As expected, Lin Mu and the others did not have to wait long. Wave after wave of people who had learned the news came rushing over.

In the world beyond the seas, a true dragon soared between heaven and earth before finally descending upon an isolated island.

“Damn.” Yi Ma lowered himself halfway into a crouch, then suddenly drove upward with both legs. His body leaped high into the air. Bracing his right hand against the top of a demon’s head, he somersaulted over it.

Qianqiu Xun gave it no further thought. He glanced at everyone in the Fierce Cavalry Regiment, then went straight after Yun Mu.

“Since there isn’t the slightest bit of trust between us as people, whatever I say, you won’t believe me anyway. So I won’t say anything.” Song Wan spoke angrily.

Perhaps it was only an illusion, but Young Master Huangquan felt a vague, inexplicable unease. The source of that feeling actually seemed to lie with Yun Mu.

The person approaching with a troop of men was none other than Yahu, whom they had not seen in a long time. As the chief of the Nia Tribe, his daily affairs were extremely complicated, leaving him little free time of his own. Tisben had never expected to see him today, so the surprise was all the greater when he suddenly appeared.

Although Wu Gang lived and cultivated in the Moon Palace, that life was not entirely what he had wished for; much of it had been forced upon him.

In particular, those immortals and gods who had once harmed humans were all terrified that the King Zhou’s imperial sword might one day descend upon their heads. They could hardly remain at peace even while meditating.

Only now did King Zhou learn that the Sun-Shooting Bow, one of the ten great divine weapons of the primordial world, had originally been called the Bliss Bow. It was merely because Hou Yi’s shooting down of the suns had become so famous that later generations habitually called it the Sun-Shooting Bow.

The great generals of Chen Commandery, Yingchuan Commandery, and the other regions had each proclaimed themselves kings. In ordinary times, they were not particularly willing to obey Chen Sheng’s orders.

In the original story, the Nine-Tailed Fox possessed Su Daji the moment she appeared, yet she had never revealed her name. Now that the Nine-Tailed Fox had been taken under his command, surely she ought to have a name.

Three walls around the room contained stone niches with Buddhist shrines. Three jade Buddhas faced the world, and behind each statue stood a screen-like halo. Its inner surface was decorated with a mesh pattern, while the outer side bore coarse, boldly carved patterns of flame and smoke.

Hu Kui had suddenly become the great hope of his clansmen and had no time to consider anything else. With several muffled thunderous punches, he furiously hammered at King Zhou. Panic filled his heart, and his movements had already fallen into disorder. Although the thunderous force around his fists remained, his attacks no longer followed any martial form. They repeatedly struck empty air, unable even to brush the hem of King Zhou’s robes.

Yet they had never expected that one of their greatest obstacles had already been eliminated by someone else—and that this person would prove so powerful as to escape their control.

Everyone knew that the people being arrested belonged to the Office of Execution Supervisors. The Wandering God of the Day had neither the courage nor the strength to enter the Dragon Palace and seize anyone.

As for such things as “sharing merriment with the people” and “opening gambling pools,” they were naturally matters understood by all to take place beneath the surface.

I clearly hate the Japanese more than anything. An Ze wiped at the tears unconsciously spilling from the corners of his eyes, his face filled with bewilderment.

Mu Qingge slowly surveyed the surroundings. She could sense the fluctuations of an array. Yet in her eyes, these formations were far too crude. Still, she said nothing. Although they were incapable of harming her, on Earth they truly represented the strongest defenses available.

Of course, a very small number of people had heard that Chen the Lazy Man was organizing villagers to dig a well, and still harbored some hope that she might succeed. If the village had water, then should a drought strike the following year, their lives would not be as miserable as in years past.

That clumsy excuse had already been used three or four times. Even if his Nong’er had not interrupted him, he would have been too ashamed to finish saying it himself.

Chi Liexuan touched her cheek and the back of her hand; they were cool. Then he felt her forehead, which was feverishly hot. His expression immediately fell, and without giving her a chance to protest, he scooped her up and carried her straight back to her room.

The next instant, he felt two slightly cool lips seal off his words. He stared in astonishment at Shengge, who was only inches away, his mind unable to process what had happened.

He remembered that whenever he wanted to refuse, or whenever the other person stared at him, there was something in that person’s gaze that made his heart tremble with dread. Every nerve in his body screamed at him to stay away—to stay away—to stay away.

It seemed that the former accountant had been excited by the prospect of a worthy quarry, yet feared getting himself into trouble and was unwilling to let go of the great catch that was Chen Baiqi. He had therefore developed the desire to claim credit and simply reported this “good news” directly to his superiors, figuring they might reward him for it later.

When all was said and done, among Xiao Zong’s numerous titles, only Inspector of Southern Yan Province was an actual office. The place he was going to was merely Southern Yan Province, which lay extremely close to Jiankang.

Old Wang had originally intended to inspect all of these areas in turn, so he explored them one by one. During the process, he discovered a large number of rest rooms connected to other living facilities, such as a cafeteria and washrooms. Clearly, this was the residential area specially prepared for factory workers to live in for extended periods.
