Chapter 50: A New Chapter in Ability Stone Research: The Rise of the Laboratory

That was a Ford-class aircraft carrier, accompanied by several escort vessels. However, what caught people's attention was that the flight deck, usually packed with aircraft, instead held a massive metal box—occupying nearly two-thirds of the deck space.

Gu Yuexi had already detected the commotion around her; she knew the demonic entities from the depths of the mountain had descended.

By the evening, just as Ye Xiao was preparing to rest, that familiar sensation of being summoned returned to his mind.

He hated the suffering forged by destiny, hated his own inadequacy to change everything, hated a life crushed beneath the boots of power like mud, and hated himself even more for being a coward.

Long Kaidi felt a tinge of melancholy, though upon thinking of how Zhao Su had successfully managed to eliminate Eunuch Su according to his plan, he felt somewhat relieved.

After all, when President Gu pulled Wen Yu away earlier, it had been witnessed by quite a few people, and subsequently, everything was handled by President Gu's capable right-hand woman, Grace.

Dealing with that Nascent Soul cultivator was one thing, but if there were even stronger figures, they would likely run into trouble even if they could borrow Lin Xiaoxue's power.

The reason these people were not acting rashly now was, firstly, out of deference to the long-standing majesty of their group, and secondly, due to human nature—everyone wanted to wait and observe for a while before making a move.

Every time Xing Tiantian got behind the wheel, everyone raised their vigilance to the utmost degree. The driving instructor, in particular, kept his eyes glued on her the entire time, his nerves exceptionally tense as his foot hovered over the passenger-side brake.

That was the Ultra Sign—a method used by the Land of Light clan to conduct ultra-long-distance communication in the universe. Though consisting of just a few characters, it contained an immense amount of information, allowing Zeno and Hikari to instantly comprehend the message relayed by Max.

Ever since the battle three years ago against the Tianshui Gambling Demon Chen Jincheng, he had never seen any master from the Seven Treasures Gambling House use this technique.

Among the opponents in their seven consecutive away games, there was no shortage of playoff-tier powerhouses, featuring the Houston Rockets ranking ninth in the Western Conference, and the league-leading Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference.

Now there was no need to worry that people from Prime Minister Jin's faction might suddenly send someone over to declare that the token was lost and therefore void.

Sometimes she felt utterly helpless, but the mere thought that Yuan Jing was also here made Shen Zhao feel that, somehow, all these hardships could eventually be overcome.

Such a person could simultaneously treat those at the center of power as close confidants, playing along with them with magnificent ease while remaining entirely aloof from the chaos. Since ancient times, he was truly the very first.

In that battle, he had personally slain eighty enemies. Killing eighty enemies amidst an army of tens of thousands might sound like an insignificant and weightless number, but only those present at the scene could truly comprehend his terrifying might.

After the hottest hour of the afternoon had passed, Cui Jiuzhen was finally woken up by hunger. The moment she stirred, Ruyun, who was keeping watch by her side, woke up as well.

Princess Lingzhi felt inwardly that not only had she lost face before Jiang Ling, but she even felt a warm flush creeping up her cheeks in front of her own personal guards.

"You can try!" Jun Wuyue was genuinely furious. She abruptly unleashed the Cyan Spirit Bone Flame, causing the giant pair of fiery wings on her back to blaze brilliantly as if eager to take flight. The temperature soared by over a thousand degrees in an instant, almost capable of melting the ice-attributed Nine Phoenixes.

Ten elite police officers disguised as tourists surrounded Li Mei'er. There was also her brother, trailing not too far behind, wearing floral swim trunks, dark sunglasses, and gnawing on an ice cream cone.

"A mere wretch like this dares to dream of fighting me? None of you will escape today—you are all going to die!" the great fiend roared hideously.

"Why is he the winner? His flame is only as big as a peanut!" Zhao Yuhao protested indignantly, deeply unconvinced.

I sensed a shroud of deathly aura around him, especially after he obliterated a soul; that deathly aura had noticeably intensified. If he were to commit such a taboo again, his doom would be imminent. Yet, he was clearly oblivious to it, and completely erasing an existence seemed to bring him a sense of excitement.

I instantly withdrew the Scroll of the Human-Faced Scorpion, dashed out together with Guoguo, and charged in one breath straight to the room where Phoenix was staying, only to find that Phoenix had already been seized by Madam Ye, whose hand was tightly gripping Phoenix's neck.

At eight o'clock in the evening, as the lights began to twinkle, the flashing neon signs lent a peculiar atmosphere to the city. Under the cover of darkness, one could only guess how many sordid deeds were once again born within it.

We happened to find a spot untouched by the sunlight. After eating some dry rations and drinking a bit of water, Maiti turned to us and spoke.

That Mount Dancang disciple's mouth opened and closed repeatedly as he wanted to hurl a few fierce threats, but looking at the pools of blood staining the ground, he simply could not muster the courage. Turning around, he fled straight toward the exit.

Third Uncle was the person who activated and unlocked the array, making him equally crucial. If any issue arose at either of these two points, the array would either become a useless decoration or be completely destroyed.

The Sect Master's aura suddenly fluctuated violently, likely having forcibly employed some technique to prop up his nearly exhausted vitality.

If this was the end of the world, then at least he wanted to convey his true feelings to Kusakabe Yuka.

The blind elder chose to trust the leader; after all, he knew very well the leader's uncanny ability to avoid misfortune and seek fortune over the years.

America was a nation boasting supposedly high levels of freedom—so free that any American citizen with the means could own firearms.

"You—why are you telling me all this? Why!" Wang Haoran roared at Chenlian, his eyes filled with dread and disgust.

In the aftermath, some might dismissively remark that if they had four hundred thousand fierce lions as subordinates plunging into a flock of five hundred thousand sheep, victory would be just as easily attained. Such people understand nothing about military strategy whatsoever. First of all, viewing the opponent as mere sheep is a fundamentally erroneous perspective.

Amidst the startup roar of the Next-Generation Tridoron's engine, Future No. 108 glanced back at the quiet sleeping body of his current self resting peacefully in the passenger seat. The corners of his lips curved upward as he turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.

Dan Kuroto panted, laughing until he broke into a fit of coughs, yet even amidst the coughing, he continued to laugh.

No matter who was by her side or what might happen, one thing would never change for Ren Sian, and that was avenging Hans.

Before Leng Yi could even touch that stack of cash, it had already been snatched away by Fatty Ming, who had just walked in through the door.
