Chapter 54: Once Betrayed, Never Trusted Again

In that moment, Wen Han’s face looked as fragile as torn paper. Every trace of expression vanished from her exquisite features.
“What’s going on here?” The first to speak was Shen’s mother, who stared coldly at Wen Han. “Miss Wen, care to explain?”
Wen Han could not utter a word.
Shen Liangyan cast a slightly chilly glance in Xu Yu’s direction...
If memory still served, perhaps now was the time to recall the last image from those days.
He Xuan had not yet unleashed his full strength. If these people were courting death by attempting to capture Spring and Winter, then he could hardly be blamed. After all, in the soul of the original master, there was an unwavering determination to protect the four: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
Suddenly, the mysterious iron vibrated without pause, emitting a loud buzzing sound that was unbearably shrill. The numbers upon it began to leap wildly.
“No, no, I fired two shots just now. I am currently in a golden invincible state—in this condition, bullets cannot harm me,” He Xuan explained.
In the original timeline, this person managed to live more than ten years longer and died of old age—what a bitterly ironic joke.
Qin Yue had already noticed Gu Manli’s expression. Before she could speak, he withdrew the Fire of Chaos.
The words spoken truly moved the soldier’s heart. As a member of the military, hearing constant praise for soldiers in such a setting, how could he remain unmoved?
Ye Guang understood Teacher Fan well; if he truly admitted it, Teacher Fan would certainly refuse to accept his favor.
Yet the studio employees weren’t showing off—they were genuinely restless from idleness.
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, everyone’s eyes turned to Jia Xu, filled with shock, doubt, and confusion.
However, Li Zhi quickly regained his composure, for he suddenly recalled a fragment of memory from the divine-level fire element he had merged with. Through that memory, Li Zhi realized that, according to the city’s laws, mutual attacks were impossible here.
Zhang Jixuan? What was he here for? The smile on his face seemed oddly familiar, but when had they become so close? Perhaps he was not here on his own behalf.
“So what?” The Black Flood Dragon showed no intention of giving Liu Di any respect, shrugging indifferently. He spoke with contempt.
Although Xiao Qiushui possessed powerful internal force, his agility was lacking. Most Shaolin monks had practiced lightness skill among the cliffs of Mount Song, and since they had started ahead, Xiao Qiushui found it difficult to catch up. Yet, having finally seized a thread of information about his parents, he could hardly let it go, so he pressed forward with all his strength.
With this thought, Xiao Tianya became even more arrogant. After savoring last night’s encounter with the village girl, he climbed onto his warhorse, waved his hand grandly, and prepared to depart.
“Enemy of the Dragon Clan?” Lin Yunxuan raised the magic sword Apophis, attached the Aurora Blade, summoned Combat Doll No. 28, and charged into the fray.
“These fools who fear not death...” Lin Yunxuan muttered, turning his gaze toward Chief Judge Mars.
Early the next morning, San’er rose before dawn, finished his chores in the kitchen, then slipped out of the manor and headed stealthily toward the largest inn in town.
The Dark Doppelganger already possessed the Ice Soul Fiend Aura and Ice Soul Mist Form, allowing it to easily fashion several new bodies. However, it still lacked a method to condense an energy core. Thus, the Dark Doppelganger also referenced the Fire Essence Core and created a technique for an Ice Soul Core.
With Li Xiu’s fingers manipulating, Li Boyang’s power level dropped again and again. In an instant, he fell from an invincible stature to that of an ordinary mortal. He could no longer use Dao One, nor even fly.
