Volume 1, Chapter 38: First Foray into the Tower of Monsters

Tu Qing finally walked out, but stopped at the doorway and looked back. He stared at Fu Hongxue, then at the blade in Fu Hongxue’s hand, as if he had never seen such a man, nor such a blade before.

"Why are you so surprised? I’ve always been like this whenever I log into the game," Lin Di shrugged.

Seeing his debts dwindling, Old Lin felt a sense of relief like never before; the mountain that had been crushing his back was finally gone.

However, no one spoke up to refute this for a moment. In this jury, aside from the Coen brothers, this stout middle-aged man held the most significant status.

The Jiji people had another reason for not killing these Earthlings: to use them as hostages. In the event that this planet had an Ultraman, they could use these hostages to buy time. In their eyes, as soon as their great army arrived, even an Ultraman would have to kneel and sing of his surrender.

"It really is like that." Hearing this, Nie Feng, who had already been half-convinced, completely lost all hope under the exposure of the hemp-clad man.

"I have said what I needed to say. The decision is in your hands; I cannot imprison you in China," Jonas said.

Young Master Ye’s life was not tragic; in fact, it was quite enviable. Born into a prestigious and noble family, he was gifted and handsome. Perhaps because things had gone too smoothly for him, he sought thrills and eventually developed a profound obsession with fear.

After drinking two cups of tea, Guan Xiaojun figured it was about time. He stuffed a pack of cigarettes and ten yuan into the hands of Huang Meili’s father, then led the old sow out the door.

Lin Di had been walking at the front of the group with his hands behind his back, looking like an old leader inspecting the scene. Though he was in front, it didn’t mean he couldn't hear; on the contrary, he had been listening intently all along.

The three brothers had roamed the Dongyang territory for so many years. Now, watching his third brother being killed before his eyes, how could he not be enraged?

He found it amusing. Damn it, I am the King of Mercenaries, a killer, and you actually want me to save people?

When Chi You led four Longjian-I fighters to sweep through the 50-kilometer target area, he happened to run into two Longjian-I fighters commanded by Big Sister Al, who were just returning after successfully completing all their target strikes.

"Classmate Bengong, although I am only a life-skills teacher, I must remind you that while the school rules require students to wear uniforms, they do not explicitly forbid modifying the details of those uniforms."

"Click." Hua Xin opened the door, and Zhang Xinyu and Zhang Xinchen appeared.

Cui Hao never expected Xia Xuan to strike him. In an instant, half of his face swelled up, his teeth were knocked out, and his mouth was full of blood.

As he spoke, the endless magma surrounding them began to churn. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth condensed instantly, forming huge swirling vortices of flame around Xu Feng’s body.

Cutting open Sun Ce’s jacket and the bandages, one could see the wound on his chest had completely split open, with blood gushing out incessantly. The onlookers turned pale, as if the blood were flowing from their own bodies.

He swallowed the pill, and a nauseating taste hit him, making him feel like vomiting.

However, the domestic media and fans remained optimistic. After all, the Chinese team had not yet faced Qatar directly. Everyone was confident they could defeat Qatar and take the top spot, and the internal conflicts within the national team were temporarily quelled by this situation.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was waiting right there.

Yuan Mie and Yuan Ku’s expressions changed when they heard Zen Master Benchen say he wanted to take Yang Tian to the back mountain for a talk.

Consequently, all the Khitan soldiers on the battlefield were slaughtered, leaving only one survivor. Surrounded by over one hundred thousand high-spirited Great Tang warriors, he looked completely out of place.

Si Qing had never really understood official ranks, and after listening to Liu Dunxing’s exaggerated boasting and seeing the Xie brothers’ fearful and trembling demeanor, even she wasn't quite sure anymore.

Su Yin spoke about the situation in Jiaohe County. The two thousand grass rings and seven hundred wooden frames needed for the winter training at the Jiaohe pasture were being prepared, and the tinder and black oil were all ready as well.

"Enough! Madam!" A low shout drowned out the surrounding buzzing discussions. It wasn't loud, but one could feel the suppressed rage within it.

"But my defensive ability is not good," Zhang Yuan said. In fact, he didn't reject the position of attacking midfielder for the national team; being further from the goal wasn't a big deal. Last time he played as a second striker, he was essentially doing the work of an attacking midfielder anyway.

Liu Yuru was also very happy, as this was the first time she had asked for something, and Gao Jun had agreed to it.

The yellow dragon shimmered in five colors, the Demon Emperor appeared, and they parted with lingering reluctance. In the Dragon Demon Cave, Qingtian appeared again, having no regrets even if he had to die a hundred times for you.

However, on the battlefield, the cavalry under Hou Shilu showed signs of collapse. Had Hou Shilu not held the advantage elsewhere, they would likely have fled in total defeat.

Qiu Dagui understood the hint. Ignoring Li Xiangxiang, he walked directly to Yan Xiaopin and bowed with his hands cupped.

After breakfast, Gu Yu leisurely took Chen Jiajia to her art studio. After chatting with some friends and checking on Chen Jiajia’s recent studies, he finally drove Xia Jiao to the Balihe Police Station.
