Chapter 57: Knocked Out with One Punch

"Ye Chen, be careful!" Qin Sisi clutched the hem of her dress, her palms slick with cold sweat as she watched Ye Chen’s figure dart forward. Right now, Ye Chen was her only hope!

Zhang Wenhao sneered and said to Wang Hai, "Brother Wang, that idiot Ye actually dares to charge at Liu Dali head-on. He must have a death wish!"

...

This mist was condensed from Xiang Feng’s primordial energy, linked to him as if by blood. The moment the haze was torn apart, Xiang Feng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

After striking down Hao Tianming, Murong Moqing gazed at the departing figure of Ximen. Even his back exuded a chilling, aloof arrogance, like a lone wolf wandering in the wild.

Feeling the soft warmth pressed against his chest, Li Yu's face flushed crimson. Yet the person in his arms remained motionless, eyes tightly shut—she had fainted.

Mu Tian nodded, closed his eyes, and entered a state of deep cultivation, forgetting both himself and the world, his mind alert and ready to receive the flood of inherited memories.

Suddenly, a long black whip slithered toward him like a snake, coiling around his left ankle. A violent current surged through his entire body in an instant.

Zhao Yuanyuan’s figure had already disappeared. Faced with the unreasonable pestering of the old Taoist, Feng Yuheng's beard and hair bristled with anger. He realized that if he wanted to catch up with Zhao Yuanyuan, he would have to deal with this wretched old priest first. Steeling himself, he threw all his skills into the struggle.

"The Diamond Invincible Demon-Subduing Technique?!" In that instant, Young Master Wuyou could no longer maintain his composure.

Watching Feng Bing cough up blood, Huang Yuan let out a cold laugh and stepped forward to untie Cheng Qing from the rack.

"Since the abbot insists on protecting Shi Yan, and I must avenge Master Dao Xuan, then Wudang will simply have to offend you." As Wu Fengzi finished speaking, he had already flown toward Liao Ming.

Madam Zhang stepped around the scattered clothing and placed the insulated container on the table. There, several scattered Durex packets lay in plain sight. Having seen much in her years, Madam Zhang recognized them at once.

"My lord, as for the shipyard, I plan to cooperate with some other American companies. There should be results before the year’s end," Chen Ning replied.

"Alright, Fei Liangyan, let’s go home. I’m exhausted," Shi Yi said weakly to Fei Liangyan.

What remained was nothing but an empty husk, like a shed skin—a giant spider, hunted down and killed alive. The monstrous Devouring Lady, her massive body, was being devoured alive by a crimson cloud lark no bigger than a fist.

The six brothers’ faces changed dramatically. What on earth was an earth lotus? To think they’d not only encountered one but managed to harvest its fruit as well!

"Well... Colonel, if you want to buy planes, I can certainly agree, but I can’t promise you the blueprints. The blueprints don’t belong to our National Defense Force," Chen Ning deflected.

"Hmph." Chen Yi let out a cold snort, his face dark and his eyes flashing with icy light. Since these people had come, he had never intended to let them leave alive. After all, a hidden threat was always more terrifying than an open one; you never knew when a knife might come from the shadows.

"Going outside for fresh air is certainly better than sitting here watching Lin Peng play at online romance," Xiao Menglou said with a wry smile, glancing at Lin Peng dancing about in the transparent egg-shaped pod.

"Do you think what Director Feng said is true? Honestly, Lianmei doesn’t seem to have changed at all—in fact, she seems to smile more and look even lovelier than before," a reporter remarked to a colleague.

They had thought that everything would be fine once Li Qingqian was found. Who could have expected that the seemingly delicate Li Qingqian would be so resolute?

Truly, Tian Tian’s background was not in vain. Even though she had yet to take over the Tian Corporation, her meticulous attention to every detail and her ability to anticipate every angle was not something an ordinary person could learn or imitate.
