Chapter 51: The Cannon Fodder Fiancée (51)

At seven in the evening, the wind blowing across the tarmac carried with it the heavy humidity of the air, which instead of easing the travel fatigue, seemed to layer it with an extra weight.

Yet this discomfort vanished entirely the moment she appeared.

Her voice was clear and bright, melodious like a nightingale, instantly scattering all irritation.

Qi Ming patted Xie Yanzi's shoulder tactfully, his eyes twinkling with mischievous amusement. "I'll go get the luggage. Help yourself, old man."

"Get lost."

Qi Ming didn't take offense.

Just at that moment, another strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. Beneath a mass of thunderclouds, an exaggeratedly massive sword forged of wild lightning brewed across the firmament, as if intending to tear the entire sky asunder, and fiercely struck down toward the heavily wounded Nie Hailong.

"No, big brother, I beg you, spare me. I truly cannot take you there." Huang Saning pleaded bitterly. He had already witnessed Meng Fan's methods, yet he still refused to act as a guide, which showed that his terror of Dijin was far beyond ordinary.

Meng Yu struck the seat beside him with a heavy thud, instantly making the Dragon Team operative in the driver's seat tense up to the utmost.

"To hell with her fears, we'll just launch a direct assault. I refuse to believe we can't take it down. Boss, let me go first." Li Xiaotian always remained hot-headed and impulsive.

Wang Xiaoliang's uninhibited expression of his feelings made Lei Jian laugh so hard she rocked back and forth. Suddenly, a tearing sensation ripped across the blade's edge, causing her laughter to cut off abruptly. The people around her were so startled by Lei Jian's sudden bizarre shift that they immediately fell silent.

"Huh?" She cast a puzzled glance at Sima Xi. Although she knew he was usually quite considerate toward the maids and servants, this was the first time she had felt it firsthand.

"I don't doubt his character." Hu Jinping did not answer directly. However, this was already enough for Han Dong.

"Courting death!" Qin Zhen gripped the longsword in his hand, and an unprecedented surge of power erupted from his body... To be continued.

Five door-wide palm prints condensed in succession, stacking layer upon layer, and flooded toward Zhao Zhisi with the overwhelming momentum of a collapsing mountain.

Before Li Zheng could finish his sentence, Ye Ning couldn't be bothered to explain anything further to this fellow. Pulling his credentials out of his pocket, he slammed them right onto Li Zheng's face with a crisp slap.

Another attack struck immediately. Ye Sheng lifted her left hand, intending to grab its wrist, but the move was evaded. Hardening her heart, she thrust her palm straight toward the tip of the dagger.

Upon hearing his words, Qin Xue was somewhat pleased at first, but after a moment of reflection, she shook her head. "I'd rather stay abroad." There were too many heartbreaking memories for her here, and she did not want to remain in her home country, living through agony every single day.

Fu Jin had no inkling of the predicament she would stumble into in the near future. Sensing vaguely that these men harbored ill intentions, she instinctively hugged her arms around herself, hoping to draw a semblance of safety from the gesture.

While doubt and confusion filled their hearts, that colorful torrent swept across the surrounding space once more, flying deep into the stone wall.

If he were to use the same rules for the third match, the opponent he would encounter would be Apricot Blossoms Beyond the String, the second-ranked assassin of the Qingxuan Kingdom, whose strength stood just beneath Edge.

These four monsters descended upon the four quarters of the great metropolis. The moment they were born, they sensed one another's presence. Needless to say, once they took human form, their primary objective would be to annihilate the humans in the city and establish this place as a forward outpost for the Descent of the Dark Demon Tower.

Qiao Zhuo'an cast a thoughtful look at Shen Luan, pondering for a moment before saying, "I know some things aren't my place to tell you, but you should think more about the bigger picture."

Wan Guoguo turned toward the door, locked the ward's entrance, stripped off her outer clothes and tossed them aside, and walked up to Shen Luan bare-chested.

Others might consider this unorthodox or a left-hand path, but Tony believed it made him stronger. What man wouldn't want to be like a lion, capable of mating a dozen times a day?

Both sides were in stealth, making it difficult to locate anyone, but Ye Sheng still managed to spot the locations of two hidden sentries.
