Chapter 51: The Frenzied Shark-Man
At Wen Li's insistent demand, she finally obtained a compact plasma pistol to her complete satisfaction.
Madara still remained uneasy, repeatedly emphasizing the correct method of use.
Hearing this, Wen Li felt her head ache; veteran Madara was lecturing again.
"I know, Madara. I really have used these weapons before. If you don't believe me, ask Captain Steb." The young girl pulled the captain in as a shield.
Captain Steb pondered for a moment, and though still somewhat uncertain, he nodded anyway.
Madara also...
The small boat drifted downstream, the boatman poling with utmost steadiness. Were it not for the roaring river on either side that shook the soul, Shen Kang would have truly doubted whether this was all an illusion.
Now, with a casual "I'll follow your lead," Antonio showed his practical support and indirectly pledged his future loyalty to the work.
What Li Feng did not know was that two years later, this luxury mansion and its surrounding gardens would be purchased by a local architect for a mere 1.5 million pounds, largely because the estate had fallen into disrepair, was riddled with leaks, and practically no one else wanted it.
During the life-and-death crisis of the Sanctuary, Heavenly Monarch Purple Thunder contributed thousands of refined Purple Thunder Pearls. In that battle, the Purple Thunder Pearls displayed immense divine might, inflicting heavy casualties on the denizens of the Netherworld. Consequently, Heavenly Monarch Purple Thunder suffered the retaliation of the Netherworld, causing the crafting method of the Purple Thunder Pearls to be lost forever.
However, for a Creation-grade Dao artifact of this caliber, apart from Dao swords, this was Li Yichen's first encounter with one, so he immediately began to earnestly perceive the profound mysteries within.
What do corrupt officials fear the most? It is not going to prison, but having all their ill-gotten gains completely confiscated! At that point, the job is gone, the social status is gone, and the money is gone. A short prison sentence of a few years is easy to get through. But what about after getting out?
Suddenly, all three reinforcements had a strange sensation, as if they had not charged into the battle circle, but rather had been reeled in by a powerful force.
Sure enough, the scene displayed in the illusion showed the injured youth hesitating in shock before gathering his courage to open the storage pouch on the withered corpse.
Events proved that it was a success. Although Sicert grumbled all the way, he never uttered phrases like "I wash my hands of this," leaving Contini to chuckle inwardly while keeping up the pretense and bantering on the surface.
Upon returning and consulting with the investment firm's other executives, including Li Shanquan in Asia, Bill Weber finally agreed to Li Feng's seemingly crazy plan.
With that, June surged forward, thrusting his body hard into the blade as the Chixiao Sword pierced straight through his chest. Three gaping holes opened on his front, blood gushing like a spring, and he died on the spot. This heinous and deeply treacherous villain thus brought his shameful life to an end.
If only—if only they could have been stronger, or managed to avoid all this, none of this would ever have happened.
Lian Hua's mastery of alchemy currently surpassed all others, which was why Jin Yangzi had tried so desperately to make him stay back then.
As for the members of the mortal realm, upon hearing Zhuang Zhou's declaration, a sense of astonishment rippled through them. Although they did not know who had spoken, this news seemed utterly incapable of dampening the fervent desire of the masses to slaughter the demons from beyond the realms.
May you, my wife and lady, after our parting, retie your cicada-wing hair, delicately paint your moth-eyebrows, display your graceful posture to the fullest, and be chosen by the lord of a royal army, casting your reflection before the courtyard like the harmonious blending of the zither and the lute.
He did not know whether what he was doing was right or wrong, or if it would push matters further toward deterioration! Yet Li Xiangfeng understood the principle that water poured out cannot be gathered up. Since things had progressed to this stage, he had only choice left: to grit his teeth and carry it through to the end.
Faced with the formidable martial prowess of Tian Boguang, even though he knew the man had been set up, seeing him act as if nothing were wrong left an underlying sense of dread in his heart.
Nanmen Zhizhuan mocked Li Xiangfeng for losing his "backer" while dropping harsh threats that he would teach the ignorant and arrogant Li Xiangfeng a harsh lesson today.
Silently wrestling with the iron chains and locks in his hands, Mori frowned deeply as he noticed that one of the giant men had already freed his hands from their shackles. With a little more time, freeing his feet from the leg irons might not have been impossible, but in the end, they were still a step too late.
