Volume 1, Chapter 30: That Night in Bed...

Ji Shu held her breath and clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on the tightly closed rear window of the Cullinan. No one knew that a battle without gunpowder was raging here at this very moment.

Ten seconds passed quickly, and the rear window slowly rolled down. Lu Jinchuan’s features emerged, his eyes locked onto hers. His gaze was like a brewing tsunami; to collide with it was to drown. Lu Jinchuan saw through her inner conflict and her desire to escape, and in this silent confrontation, Ji Shu had lost. Just as half of his face was revealed, Ji Shu tapped her phone a few times to cancel her ride, stepped forward, opened the car door, and quickly climbed inside.

Inside and outside the car were two different worlds.

Master Feiyun felt his breath being throttled by a pair of massive, tightening hands. Each chime of the bell pierced his eardrums, manifesting as thunderous golden drums that hammered against his spiritual core. Every strike was like a divine Vajra pestle from the Buddha, shaking his blood into chaos and scattering his soul.

One must understand that in this world of soul artifacts, Feng Lin had managed to collect four Seven-Star powers in less than two years.

It was indeed a scorpion, though it would have been difficult for an ordinary person to identify the species. Master A-Cai, however, remained calm; he kept far more scorpions than any ordinary person ever could and had seen all manner of breeds.

He intended to leave to make a phone call, but after a few steps, he turned back. He felt a lingering concern, fearing that something might happen to this police officer "sister" while he was away.

Just as Hoffman was about to pull the trigger to draw the Poles' attention, his finger froze stiffly. Ahead, a Polish second lieutenant leading the charge suddenly clutched his chest, struck by a bullet, and collapsed to the ground.

After this battle, the Luo family and the Lin family became deep-seated enemies, practically irreconcilable.

"Mo Tian, your conflicted heart will ensure you always remain last. If you wish to become a powerhouse who commands the martial arts world, I have one piece of advice—do you wish to hear it?" Bai Wudi said with a grotesque, mocking laugh.

The demon race suddenly intervened, catching the cultivators in the coastal region off guard. Human cultivators at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm suffered heavy casualties, and those with lower cultivation levels were decimated. The price paid by the human race was catastrophic.

In the Battle of Warsaw, the final decisive clash, the German army had to face a brutal urban siege if they wanted a quick victory.

The man pointed at felt his legs turn to jelly; had his hands not been bound above him, he would have collapsed to the ground. The watching students were utterly stunned; the scene unfolding before them shattered their worldviews.

Around five in the evening, three riot control buses and two black sedans arrived at the military parade ground. Such a sight was rarely seen by passersby, but today, almost all the celebrities had abandoned their usual low-profile demeanor and appeared openly.

"Rest assured, seniors, I have no intention of causing any trouble," Luo Yi said. Since they did not want to form a party with him, he saw no need to force it.

Zhao Tianming handed her the car keys directly without asking how long she would need it. In fact, when he went out for short distances, he rarely drove himself; even if he did, he would find a place to park nearby.

He was burly and imposing, with a ferocious appearance, a red face, fangs, and hair draped over his shoulders, his face twisted with wild fury. Yet, even in such a situation, the four of them showed no panic, stepping one by one upon the golden lotuses toward the northern bank of the River of Corpse Water.

Give it a try! Bai Yu had been quite reckless in his past life. Anything others dared not attempt, Bai Yu was always the first to charge forward, which was why he became the chief assassin.

Previously, Chu He had exhausted eighty percent of his internal energy. He couldn't burn it all; he had to keep some for self-defense, as the Golden Bell Shield required internal energy to function. Thus, he stopped channeling power into the Qianshan training armor.

"No time to lose, I shall take action immediately and go find the master!" Ye Tianyi said with excitement.

"I see them. All members, retreat immediately! The mechanism squad, move out and try to stall for time! The rest of you, enter the city and close the gates! Shadow, it’s our turn now." Murong Daotian took a deep breath, and all members of 'Decisive Battle Dream Fantasy,' excluding the mechanism squad, quickly retreated into the city of Mengqing.

As the shaping process dragged on, the young man's magical power consumption grew, and sweat began to bead on his forehead, yet his gaze remained focused and determined.

"Just go to prison and reflect on your mistakes for the rest of your life." The village chief waved his hand dismissively and said no more.

Even with the person who had shielded her gone, she still hid behind others, unable to escape the shell that trapped her.

Building a guild headquarters was indeed a matter of pouring in money. Once the city reached level four, one could purchase magic crystal cannons. The price of such a cannon was a staggering 10,000 jewelry coins. The Mengtian Group's profits from guild wars were likely far greater than the currency earned from game time cards.

The mobilization of troops had already left the populace anxious, and with the military and the Pursuit Division surrounding the thousand-year-old Liu family estate, the once-bustling capital became a ghost town. Everyone hid indoors, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

Meanwhile, people on the other side of the city, witnessing their bizarre behavior, could not help but whisper among themselves.

What they did not expect was that all the guests outside had, as if by tacit agreement, stopped dancing in unison. They stood there in eerie silence, motionless, watching them. A waiter nearby bowed slightly, waiting respectfully.

Four Wind-Chasing Horses pulled two carriages, one in front and one behind, flanked by a hundred armored guards led directly by Captain Sun Chenghu.

Panic had gripped the crew, as they wondered if any of them had become a disguised imposter; no one dared to trust their companions.

Liu Lijun rushed to the provincial department to quickly organize the documents, then summoned several deputy directors and hurried toward the municipal public security bureau.

Although the adventurers did not know what Tan Ye intended, they still cleared the path.

"There's no other way. Even if I didn't want to trust him, we have no other options. After all, my spatial powers are insufficient to tear through this domain. If I tried to force it, I would only be backlashed by the spatial forces here," Tan Ye said with a sigh of helplessness.
