Chapter 52
Some people possess an innate nobility in every gesture; without any deliberate display, you can tell at a glance that they are different from others.
Qiao Ximin fiercely ended the call, tore open her phone, snapped the SIM card in half, and tossed it straight into the trash can. Turning her head to look toward the banquet hall from where waves of applause drifted over, her face twisted in rage.
Zeus shook his head, just as he was about to watch how this fellow would meet his end, he saw the opponent flick a finger lightly. A trainee police uniform rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the missile perfectly.
Electricity generates magnetism, heat, and light. The applications of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit are simply too numerous. Whether it is the strongest Logia Devil Fruit is hard to say, but at least in Vivi's view, the developmental potential of this thing is immense.
A-Yao tiptoed to the cave entrance, peeked outside twice, and then returned to Li Mu's side, tidying up the coarse linen clothes on her body.
Zhao Hongzhi cast a grateful glance at Wang Zhi, thanking him for preventing the atmosphere from turning awkward. He was a perfectionist, and every minor flaw would be magnified infinitely in his heart.
Clearly, this could not have been built by Fan Xing; it looked much more like a relic left behind by an ancient era.
Consequently, they had no idea what was transpiring within, and could only gaze at that gray, hazy expanse of chaos, not daring to avert their eyes for even a single moment.
Upon the uppermost seat, a figure clad in a strangely styled black and gold robe was permeated all over with an ancient and desolate aura.
They had also been tempered into resilience and cold-bloodedness time and time again through such wars; while treating death as a return home, they simultaneously revered life and cherished peace. The Young Marshal not forbidding her from going to the battlefield was probably also because he did not wish to stain her soul with darkness.
"Spoiling the scenery?! Many people used to say that to me when I was young, but after I entered the Martial Venerable Realm, no one has ever said it again," Fat Monk said with a chuckle.
Because Yuan Hong had once damaged Da Yu's primordial spirit when refining the Five-Axe of Gods, preventing him from being reborn, he harbored a secret worry in his heart. If the Tushan clan were to learn of this, they would certainly not let the matter rest with him. Fortunately, this matter was extremely covert, and since Da Yu's action was terribly defiant of the heavens, he likely did not dare to speak of it openly to the Tushan clan.
Regarding the situation of Yuan Dapeng's family, Lei Mingjie knew it better than anyone, but for some time previously her hands had been tied. Now that she was finally able to lend them a hand, she naturally spared no effort.
However, if she could survive this tribulation, her development a hundred years later would indeed provide Shiji with a fine helper.
The true intent of the Heavenly Sovereign of the Bright Emperor remained unclear, but like Zhuang Wanggu, he had never made a move even once.
You Yitian's present supernatural ability was far more powerful than before. Although divided into two streams, it was still very easy for him to sever their magic. Right now, a bolt of lightning and several swirling water vortices were floating before You Yitian.
Success is fine, but it often leads people to become proud and arrogant, and then failure follows right behind.
Du Qianjie drew a cold breath. Listening to the implication of the Earthly Venerable, waiting for him at the entrance for just a little while might not even be safe, which showed that this supreme plane was by no means a pure land.
Zhou You looked at the skewers of meat, then glanced at Song Guyan who was following closely behind. After a moment of internal conflict, he shoved the skewers back into the bag.
Speaking of this, Zheng Linglong suddenly felt a few misgivings. With a turn of her beautiful eyes, she actually glanced toward Zhen Rou.
Mo Zhanhua's relationship with Gu Changci was already known to Ma Jian, so he no longer concealed it. Leaving the imperial palace, he went straight to the Dali Temple.
Should she give full play to her greatest talent in criminal investigation, or embark on various missions with him at the police dog base?
Yet she was destined to be disappointed. After finishing a cigarette, Ye Shaochen still did not walk out through the front gate of the Li family.
She wanted to see what kind of strategies Su Sanyue could devise, and whatever Su Sanyue proposed, she would focus her deployment against it. When Ningxi suffered defeat to the point of utter headache, that would be the moment for the Second Princess Highness to make her entrance.
A few minutes later! Three freaks, all standing in the realm of top-tier martial artists, lay limply on the ground, defeated.
His intelligence network had reported the events of today to him at the very first moment. The capital of Ningxi, right under the emperor's feet—yet in such a heavily guarded place, an assassination of imperial royalty had actually occurred.
Before Hao Yu could complain much in his heart, with several swishing sounds, more than a dozen high-energy projectiles spitting tongues of flame flew toward him. Following closely behind were another dozen thick and blinding laser beams, and even a formidable missile nearly three zhang long came flying directly toward his head.
Some rejoice while others sorrow; the remnants of the United States were very sorrowful right now. Not only because they had just defected to the Russian side and immediately had to face a heavy blow from the Eternal Group's formidable army—which was terribly unlucky—but also because their last remaining peerless powerhouse, a Saint-level expert, had gone to sleep the day before yesterday and never woken up again.
It was truly easy for one to suspect that some intense events had occurred for her to sustain injuries.
However, the reality was miles apart from what Liang Yi imagined. After all, the two of them could hardly be considered as having conversed happily; that was merely an illusion, just perfunctory pleasantries with polite give-and-take.
On Lu Junli's face, water droplets had yet to dry. At the corner of her eye was a patch of bruised purple, and a trace of bright red blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
Lu Junxun also made a sudden movement, lowering his head to press a kiss upon my forehead. His action was gentle—so gentle that even I had not expected it. I had thought he would "go through the motions" as usual, but unexpectedly, he merely gave a light kiss, then gathered me in his arms and remained still.
She was not lying about this; the Shattering Waves Full Martial Art still had a slight flaw. This flaw placed a heavy burden on her, and coupled with the shattering of her black saber, she could no longer execute the Shattering Waves Full Martial Art a second time.
Chu Tianjiao was also captivated by the aura emanating from her. Meeting her again after three years, he felt a sense of astonishment, and his mind inevitably drifted in a trance. Of course, this was also partly due to the soul that had long since perished within this body.
Yet he never harbored any desire to delve deeper. Perhaps, deep in his bones, he simply appreciated this nation's interpretation of ultimate beauty, while intensely loathing certain individuals, certain matters, and certain methods of this country.
