Chapter 54

Luohua nodded, leaned against the large boulder, and looked up at the clearing sky and, down below the stone, the completely silent Myriad-Devouring Ghost.

The coffin rested upon four long stools, bound tightly several times over with iron chains as thick as a wrist. The gaps in the coffin lid were plastered completely with paper talismans. The talismans fluttered and rustled in the breeze, making a faint, rustling sound.

Yet at that very same instant, a halo of blue light flew in from a great distance and enveloped the spider's head.

Not only that, but a look of profound, deeply moved relief even appeared on his face—an expression of uncontrolled emotional stirring.

Seeing this, Xuanling hastily stepped back, but she was too slow to dodge fully; a large piece of her sleeve was still sliced off.

She was also an peerless beauty who, amidst the chaotic battles of the primordial ages, had slain countless enemies, stained her hands with endless blood, and trodden upon mountains of corpses stretching across eternity.

Sitting to one side, Tang Yuan sat upright and rigid. "Dad, I know of a very formidable hacker named Star. He is famous both domestically and internationally. No matter what kind of crisis it is, finding him will surely resolve it."

The two of them had barely spoken a word to each other since their last encounter. Lin Wei wanted to walk past her pretending not to see anything, but Yan Qiao did not seem to share that sentiment.

When it came to game understanding, they were far superior to most armchair critics who pontificated from behind their keyboards.

Before Zhang Yifeng could continue studying his newly unlocked system, the door to his room was pushed open.

To speak the truth, about ten minutes after scolding Zhang Tao, as he listened to the ticking of the clock on the wall, a shred of regret gradually welled up in Sun Yuanzheng's heart: How could he have scolded him like that just now? Zhang Tao was an honest, dependable backbone of the team, far less clever and eccentric than Longwei; scolding him was less useful than scolding Longwei.

Under ordinary circumstances, there were those who had never used their trump cards and hidden assets, but at a moment like this, they could no longer afford to hesitate. They directly cast them out, greatly increasing their internal energy and channeling all of it into the Great Elder.

Finally, when he returned to his starting point once more, he discovered an astonishingly alarming fact—he seemed utterly unable to distinguish left from right, east from west, north from south.

Even though they were blank cartridges, being struck by such bullets still caused a sudden, intense pain, accompanied by a very unpleasant sensation.

Because of this, the village gained yet another spectacle: grown men in their twenties and thirties still being chased and beaten by their parents.

He was shaking off his burdens; those children immediately chattered and took a few steps closer, nearly brushing against him. A plan instantly formed in his mind, and he reached his hand into his trouser pocket.

"Hello, Mr. Nicholas, I am Sun Yuanzheng from the Huaxia Country..." Sun Yuanzheng spoke without servility or arrogance, actively extending his hand.

Chu Feng, the Demon-Slaying King, Wukong, and the two individuals and one beast dismounted from the black roc, whereupon the black roc transformed into human form.

At that very moment, a deafening crash of thunder erupted in the heavens, and flashes of lightning appeared in everyone's view simultaneously. The sky, which had just been twinkling with stars, changed its wind and clouds in the blink of an eye.

Shi Fang's father had always been a man of principle. He would never turn away low-value gifts, accepting them freely, but as for anything relatively high-end, he never accepted it. Even if it was delivered straight to his home, by evening he would have Shi Fang return it.

Zhang Shaozhu looked powerlessly at Ye Qing, her eyes seeming to convey something, but Ye Qing failed to understand her meaning and panicked on the spot, stamping his feet in anxiety. Finally, in desperation, he remembered Immortal Master Town, and that former master of his—the old woman surnamed Ge.

"Black Emperor, a year has already passed. The senior's closed-door seclusion should be ending, right?" Ye Fan asked aloud.

On the contrary, under such circumstances, the truth behind this statement carried immense weight. One could say this phrase was specifically tailored for such a situation.

Ye Chu's heart remained deeply suspicious; he did not believe that unprovoked love and hatred truly existed in this world.

"Someone once spread the word that Manager Wu's boss is a tomb robber, and that he has a massive tomb-robbing gang under his command," Yang Wei said, recounting the rumors he had heard.

However, because he got into a fight and received disciplinary action over personal matters, Cao Que felt it was utterly not worth it, believing that the honor they bore had been tarnished.

At that moment, as the divine throne shattered and the mist dissipated, the ten thousand heavenly soldiers and celestial generals who had been locked in fierce battle stopped in unison, then instantly dissolved like the wind, turning into golden flying ash and vanishing completely in the end.

Thinking of this, Ye Chu could not help but sigh repeatedly, once again realizing just how boundless the Primordial World was.

With this, Li Xun's understanding of their marital problems deepened a step further, though this seemed to be of little use.

The diary was gone; could Chen Aniu have taken it? Did Chen Aniu vanish suddenly after reading Li Dajiu's secret diary? Was his disappearance, along with the embryonic specimen, related to the diary?

Fortunately, Elder Ye did not halt Bao Pinzhi's work, dispatching only two armed police officers on guard duty to prevent construction workers from stealing.

"I will carefully consider what you have said, but I am merely curious: why is it that after joining the dream-weaver organization and undergoing its special training, my ability domain was able to enhance itself?" Wei Feng asked in puzzlement.

Although Sangguni admired his teacher's strength to the point of absolute awe, the mere thought of potentially making an enemy of a Grand Duke made his heart flutter with unease.

"Judging by the scent of their hormones, it looks like the ones we killed were all male spiders. Female spiders are generally larger than males," Taishui's words explained his doubt.

"Wishing you a bountiful mushroom harvest; what business do the two of you have with me?" Trinity asked in the exact same tone.

At that moment, the people on Lingwei's side froze entirely. A trace of shock and astonishment flashed in each of their eyes as they gazed at Li Changfeng lying on the ground, simply unable to believe what they were seeing.

Yunfeng glanced at David's wound, and the hanging stone in his heart finally dropped. Fortunately, David had been circulating the Blood God Scripture just moments before; the vital energy of the Blood God Scripture had blocked the arrow that otherwise would likely have pierced his heart. When in circulation, the Blood God Scripture automatically protected the vital areas of the human body.

Kayaba Akihiko fell silent. From the very moment SAO slipped out of his control, he had sensed that something was amiss. This was not something that could be achieved simply; the opponent had likely been plotting it for a long time.

Such a killing intent, awakened from the depths of hatred, would undoubtedly greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Even so, relying solely on a medium to display thirty percent of his combat power was enough to virtually wipe out most of the experts of the Bitter Realm. Thus, Exiled Celestial is truly the number one person in the Pili Grand Universe.

Deafening and earth-shattering, the two tumbled out of the dust in a wretched state, glanced back at the relentless Heavenly Profound Venerable, and continued fleeing while resuming their exchange.
