Volume 1, Chapter 32: Two Obstacles in the Path

What did Xing Tian say?

Defeat Giant Cannon in five seconds??

What kind of international joke was that?

Did he have no idea how strong he was, or was he simply blind to Giant Cannon’s strength?

Yes, this was Ling Zhoutian. Unfortunately, the fellow was a little dim-witted. He had failed to ask the police officer where Su Yunsheng’s body had been placed, and the moment he arrived at the morgue, he began searching ceaselessly with his mental power. Even Ling Zhoutian, who had been tempered by the Dark Web, could hardly endure the deathly silence of that place.

In a subspace hidden somewhere in the void, two beings were engaged in a battle unknown to anyone and impossible for ordinary minds to comprehend.

A barbarian ran his large hand along the greatsword strapped to his back, his eyes as tranquil as a vast, open lake.

Because they had not seen how Chen Feng had battled the fiend, nor known that he had used Violet Flame and Secret Awareness at the time, they had unconsciously overestimated the power Chen Feng could unleash with this secret art.

“Sorry, Mother. I don’t want to place limits on myself, and even less do I want to…” You Zishi forced herself not to finish. What she wanted to say was simply too cruel.

At that moment, even Senior Brother Chang, who had been arrogant throughout the journey, could not help remaining wary of his surroundings. The earth lay in utter silence, while the sky was shrouded in black mist, as though darkness had enveloped the entire world. They had walked for a long way without seeing a single living creature—not even a plant.

Suddenly, Lin Yi came to a halt. Not far ahead, a figure appeared within the astral gale. Though its features could not be seen clearly, there was no mistaking the aura of a cultivator at the late stage of the Phantom Annihilation Realm.

“Boss, let me critique your outfit. You’re wearing an incredibly sturdy pair of sneakers, along with long sleeves and long trousers. Most importantly, your hair has grown so long it’s covering your eyebrows. Hahaha.” Long Hongyu laughed.

That finally irritated Zhou Runjie. As the son of a high-ranking official, the fact that he had spoken so politely already bordered on miraculous. Now that he believed himself to be in the right, his tone became even more unpleasant.

“Take your time getting cleaned up. If you want to bathe, there’s a river to the left after you leave the alley. People sometimes water their horses and cattle there, and even rinse out chamber pots, but you can make do with it.” Gong Miao’er spoke with open disdain and went inside first.

Luo Ye curled one side of his lips. Whether it was because of the scar that slashed diagonally from his left temple to his right cheek, or because of the black eyepatch fastened over his left eye, his smile appeared exceptionally sinister.

The surroundings remained as lively as ever, yet this place seemed cut off from the rest of the world. No matter how many people streamed past them, within this stretch of heaven and earth, there were only the two of them.

After hearing Elise’s words, the worshippers took their seats on either side, preparing to witness the ceremony.

The other four enforcers, who had been busy robbing the place, were startled as well. They had come merely to teach the shopkeeper a lesson; none of them had intended to draw blades or start a fight.

As an accompanying official, Shang Zhong had previously witnessed the tremendous power of firearms in the hands of the Japanese and the warriors of the Hong Hall. After returning, he had strongly recommended this formidable weapon to King Shangning.

He knew that, no matter what happened, they would never let him die. If he died, everyone in the Palace of Bliss would bear responsibility that could not be escaped. Besides, he was merely a middle-ranking prince—what favor could he possibly expect from the Emperor?

But since this was Leona’s decision, the people Soraka had sent to assist her could not alter it.

In her dream, she vaguely saw herself casting an arcane formation upon a certain island—one she had never heard of before. The energy within that formation resembled her own starlight magic, yet seemed far more powerful than the magic she currently possessed.

Not only did she have to go to Songhua Base to find her papa and mama, she also had to deliver the iron box the middle-aged man had entrusted to her to the Federation government at Songhua Base.
