Volume One, Chapter 94: The Top Scorer with a Perfect Score

Wang Lu had never imagined that Su Manxi would be able to trace the matter back to her.

Terrified, she hurriedly packed her bags and prepared to flee to her maiden home for a few days.

Though the woman usually seemed gentle and mild-mannered enough, once she turned serious, she was not someone just anyone could afford to provoke.

Seeing her mother drenched in sweat, flustered and scrambling in confusion to pack, Wang Zijiao frowned in puzzlement and asked, “Mom, what are you doing?”

“Ask nothing. If anyone asks whether I’m home, just say I’m not.”

Seeing her mother in such panic, Wang Zijiao knew immediately that she had certainly caused some new trouble.

She quickly seized her hand and asked, “Mom, tell me the truth. To..."

And as for the most coveted things about blade intent and sword intent, beyond the unmatched power they granted when unleashing battle arts and profound techniques, there was also the fact that once one mastered them, one could challenge stronger opponents without limit. Their might was in no way inferior to the power of bloodlines.

Lin Yufei was wearing a white cartoon T-shirt and a pair of light-blue knee-length shorts. She had not dressed up in any special way, yet her bright and charming bearing still made her seem lively and lovely.

A cold smile curved Shangguan Zhixi’s lips. Murong Ningyue, you should be grateful. To deal with you, I have already taken out all my hidden cards.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a streak of light and plunged straight into Ding Hao’s body.

The one-eyed-man incident ultimately drew the full attention of the World Government. At the World Government assembly, humanity fired the first shot in its counteroffensive war against the one-eyed invasion, and the Earth Special Operations Team, the government’s trump card and mysterious military base, also convened an emergency military meeting.

But at that moment, six middle-aged men appeared on the street ahead, blocking the path of Lingxiao and the other two.

Even if it was not Wuhua, the existence of such a sister would still greatly hinder her from continuing to develop in this circle.

The eyes of the black-clad man at the front bulged to the limit. Then Meng Jie closed in like lightning, struck him on the top of the head with a single palm, and slammed his skull down into his belly. Only a pair of bulging eyeballs flew out, crashing to the ground, dying with eyes still wide open.

Li Rongjiao spoke as she gently pressed herself against Xiang Qingyun, waves of fragrance drifting into his nose and making him unconsciously close his eyes, his face filled with intoxication.

Though she truly felt exhausted, she could not change the way she was living now. If she gave up the company she had worked so hard to found, she felt she would suddenly have nothing at all.

A peacock towering ten thousand zhang high appeared, its entire body blazing with resplendent divine light. Nine-colored feathers covered its massive frame, and an ancient, terrifying pressure shook heaven and earth.

Liu Bei’s heart stirred, and his face lit up with wild joy. As for Zhang Fei’s proposal, it was exactly what he had been hoping for. Once the two of them swore brotherhood, they would surely submit to his command.

That slash was vicious beyond measure, killing intent surging to the heavens. It was Guan Yu’s most peak strike to date; the Three Autumn Swords were unleashed in an instant, and their destructive force was frightening.

Alas, during his high-speed movement, the wound split open again and blood flowed without end. Thinking of the martial artist behind him wielding the black iron bow, Lu Tianming could only grit his teeth and press onward.

Chen Feng slowly swept the index finger of his right hand across at a forty-five-degree angle, moving nearly three inches before stopping. At the same time, he gradually opened his eyes. With that motion, Feng Liu and Dao Wu Feng both shuddered inwardly, leaning forward slightly and staring fixedly at him. Even Zhenlong’s eyes brightened a little.

“By the way, Big Boss Liu, do you really think that just because the old clan chief worships King Yama, he can truly live to be a hundred?” asked the foolish brother.

Not long ago, Wu Yicheng had still been defending the city together with the other disciples of the Sword Sect. But when the million-strong horde of demons descended, they were routed outright. The most despairing part was that those demons could not be killed even if their heads were cut off; they had to be chopped to pieces. Wu Yicheng was the only survivor from the Sword Sect present.

Across from Xiongba, Chen Feng kept his eyes half closed, perfectly concealing the emotions in his heart. His face remained utterly calm, yet inside him roared a furious tide.

A cold wind passed by, freezing me to the bone. I fumbled to fix the bayonet in place and stood ready.

I forced my eyes wide, but the surroundings were pitch-black, nothing visible at all. Afraid that a gunshot might wound a brother by mistake, I could only grip my rifle and listen intently for any movement around us, not knowing what exactly awaited us.

“This is a secret summoning art of our Wuwei Sect. It can bring a living soul into my body, but the risk on my grandfather’s side is very great. At first I didn’t want to summon my grandfather here at all; who could have guessed that he would climb into my body on his own...”

“Auntie, what’s wrong?” He helped her to the living room, had her sit down, then found a cup and poured her some water.

“Anning?” Lu Xuan called out, and only then did An Ning come back to herself, smiling sheepishly.

But if Wu Ye and the others did not come, their side would probably be completely driven back home by the chimera.

The battle on the martial platform still continued. Xia Xingyu’s phantom flashed repeatedly, sending back every sword beam within three steps around him to Xia Sanpao.

Not long after Liu Xiufen left, Gu Jianming came back carrying soy milk and buns. Zhang Yuping secretly rejoiced that he had not been there just now. Otherwise, though he lacked skill in every other respect, he had always been exceedingly filial; upon hearing that his mother-in-law had fallen, he would surely have done as he had before and given Liu Xiufen money, or else bought something and gone to visit her.

Wu Ye guessed it might be because he did not possess the Tiger Talisman skill, but he still wanted to take it and ask the crown prince about it.

Just as the flame swordsmen were closing in on Xia Xingyu’s close-combat range one after another, three flaming swords had already slashed at him from different directions. Yet with a flash of lightning, the three flame swordsmen were instantly flung away, bang, bang, bang, as though hurled one by one into the embrace of lovers, each flying with perfect precision toward its own tree.

If she were also an immortal, even if he still did not like her, that would be fine. At the very least, she could remain openly by his side, quietly accompanying him and watching over him, instead of spending day after day and night after night gazing until her eyes were worn hollow by longing.

Xia Xingyu could not help but feel his scalp tingle. Was Huaruiling the reincarnation of a fox spirit? How could she be so adept at seducing people, nearly driving his blood surging and making him almost decide to put Huaruiling to justice on the spot.

His movements were very light, as though handling a priceless treasure. After a long while, he sat down on the floor holding the guitar, his long legs crossed, saying nothing more, only gazing quietly at the instrument in his arms.

She still remembered the grave expressions on Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing’s faces when they saw the contents of the letter; that very night, they even rushed here to investigate the situation.

As for the only purple-robed Celestial Master left now, he was considered the top figure in the Spirit Bureau. He had many matters to attend to, and all four war zones needed his oversight, so he simply could not spare the time.

Having just arrived, there were many things to buy, and Chen Xi alone purchased a huge pile of kitchen supplies.

Qin Zhinuan stared wide-eyed at the suddenly appearing Xie Yu. She did not know when she had arrived, or how much she had overheard.

Ever since leaving the Demon-Sealing Cavern, Xie Wuyan had become increasingly sleepy. Not long after entering the guest room, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
