Chapter 37: Bearing It Alone

Page (1/3)

My wife is wonderful in every way, save for one flaw—

She cares about me far too much!

As the saying goes, concern breeds confusion.

If she were to abandon me without hesitation right now, that would actually be the best choice.

But because she cares about me so deeply, it has instead become a burden.

Even as we spoke, another formation core within the Eighteen Nether Wraith Formation bled to death from excessive blood loss!

...

There was no denying that this combination was overbearing and immensely powerful. Even if ordinary people came up with such an idea, they would find it exceedingly difficult to carry it out. Yet after that assault, Luo Yan had already seen through the fighting style of the brother and sister.

“I'm sorry, Ling'er. I don't know what's wrong with me.” Luo Yan lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake, his heart heavy with remorse.

Li Facai sat blankly beside the window, staring at the violent storm outside as his spirits sank to rock bottom.

Li Si put an arm around Gwen and walked straight outside. Passing the dining room, he casually picked up two slices of reheated toast for breakfast.

The Sharpleian turned around and leapt over the crate, intending to flee. But relying on his two legs alone, he was obviously no match for the pistol's beams. With the crack of a gunshot, the Sharpleian collapsed to the ground and lay motionless.

As he spoke, Ji Han hurled out a Q-skill Bouncing Bomb. The bomb struck the ground and bounced upward with a thud, then landed in the grass. This time, however, it did not bounce again; instead, it erupted with a tremendous explosion.

Ji Han's expression was grim, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's. He had already sensed the scent of danger long before Ji Liang's warning.

She had received word the previous night that an unparalleled expert had suddenly appeared in the central district. Today, she had watched from the shadows as he killed the Blood Prince and the Shield Prince in an instant. Usually carefree and accustomed to doing as she pleased, she had initially felt little fondness for such a ruthless killer.

The bishop's pistol fired again. This time, the bullet struck Li Facai squarely between the eyebrows.

“You've got quite a sharp tongue, but unfortunately, it won't do you any good.” Qin Tian shrugged, completely unconcerned.

Down below, Crocodile Ancestor, among the western army, was startled by that roar brimming with murderous intent. He immediately looked toward the battlefield above, where Minghe had already engaged Zhunti.

Those who could trace Susan's exact location were, in all likelihood, members of her organization. If so, it appeared that her organization had come to rescue her.

After receiving the message, Yang Yuanqing did not hesitate. He bought a ticket for the nearest flight and flew from the capital to the Magic City.

“Is everything in this bowl raw?” Besides raw cabbage, there were cucumbers, carrots, and green beans. The colors were certainly attractive, but it hardly looked appetizing.

“Please don't make this any harder! Brother A Ran, why aren't you helping explain? If this money isn't repaid, how will we ever have peaceful lives again?” Aunt Qi was torn with indecision, leaving Chu Yunxi no choice but to seek Qi Ran's help.

The man entered the bridal sedan, slowly lifted the curtain, and gently led out the bride dressed in red. He then slowly drew her into his arms.

Su Yue always had the feeling that these people had not come to take her life. The two who had fought her had not even carried daggers, whereas the opponents Jin Wan and Ma Long had encountered included two men armed with that kind of military dagger.

She had carried the memories of her previous life and lived in a daze for fourteen years. In the end, she had nearly failed to become a spirit master. What, exactly, had happened during that time?

“I'm sorry. If this had been some other mistake, I could have spared you. But this concerns our lives, so I cannot.” Ji Chenfeng refused without the slightest hesitation.

However, only those above the Luo Immortal realm knew that Xuantian Yi was already at the end of his strength. Perhaps one more strike would be enough to kill him. Though they did not understand why his bones had not been shattered, it did not matter. So long as they completely erased his consciousness, Xuantian Yi would be dead.

Although he had made it out, Lucifer was still somewhat worried. The two people before him were both figures he deeply feared, but this was, after all, the Angel Realm. The amplification of those Holy Angels was simply too great. Moreover, the more Supreme-ranked Holy Angels gathered together, the more powerful the angelic battle formation they formed would become.

Seven days was not a very long time, but for the people below, it was an agonizing ordeal. None of them knew what was happening above. All they could sense was that the people inside were apparently still climbing upward, yet no one knew whether they were alive or dead.

However, Chu Chen knew all too well that the people below dreamed of entering the Heaven-reaching Tower, when in truth it was nothing more than a conspiracy. Entering it did not mean gaining some heaven-defying opportunity; it meant successfully becoming one of the tower's dogs.

As for Liu Guangshi, the name may seem unfamiliar. But if history followed its original course, that name would come to mean something entirely different, for in the future he would be remembered as a celebrated general mentioned in the same breath as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.

What had initially seemed like an exceedingly difficult investigation, fraught with danger, became astonishingly smooth thanks to Qin Nuannuan's fame. It was practically a triumphant march from start to finish.

“No. The assassin will certainly inspect the first floor before going up to the second. If there isn't a single person on the first floor, he will become suspicious, and the killer may retreat. Then we won't be able to catch them off guard and capture them alive.” Nanny Jian was still opposed to the idea, carefully explaining her reasoning to Li Ziyu.

Ao Nan and Gu Yun each guarded one end of the carriage, front and rear. Their right hands rested on the soft swords at their waists as they listened intently to every movement around them.

As Gu Chenghua walked out of the courtyard, these few words from her grandmother continued to echo through her mind.

Su Xi's attempt at comfort was feeble, but Su Wang seemed to have found someone to rely on. He felt that his brother knew everything and was incredibly impressive.

“The Marquis of Dingbei has come to plead with me several times, pounding his chest and assuring me that his son is absolutely not a Northern Yan spy, begging me to release him.

That was what they said, but Fujiwara Yu and Hagiwara Kenji clearly noticed Instructor Onizuka's gaze settle on the two of them. Perhaps he was hoping that one of them would become an outstanding detective?
