Chapter 108: So That Is Fifth Master Zhou, the One Who Has Been Taking You Back and Forth Since You Were a Child

Liu Cong still refused to yield. “No one ordered me.”

Even if any of them survived, they would only be barely clinging to life, eking out a miserable existence.

Qin Kuang watched his companions reignite their fighting spirit, each one brimming with energy, and could not help but feel deeply moved.

The battle for Fangcheng Port was crucial. Bai Chongxi had staked everything he possessed on it, and the Japanese understood that as well. So before launching their assault on Fangcheng Port, they unusually paused to regroup. In Bai Chongxi’s view, that pause would not last long at all—at most a day, perhaps only half a day.

Roughly fifteen minutes later, Hao Xuan and the others’ vessel arrived. It turned out they had reached Penglai Immortal Isle long before, circling the island once to survey the situation. Seeing protective light barriers everywhere, Huan Yu guessed that someone had laid down a formation here, and that the formation’s eye would have to be found before it could be broken. That was why they fell half an hour behind the others.

Chen Qiu knew full well that he had already secured Han Xin. No one could come and run wild in his jungle.

Su Muyan was furious. Zhao Qiansheng’s death had already become common knowledge throughout the city, yet she had not given it much thought.

Su Yi listened to those words twice over and was completely bewildered, unable to make sense of their motives.

Pairs of parents led their children into the Ferris wheel. Soft, multicolored lights bathed everything in a gentle glow, and laughter floated far into the distance.

“Li Yu! Li Yu!” Gong Ziqi kept calling my name, and I could tell her eyes were already clouded with tears.

“It won’t break. This is memory-programmed metal. Even if it’s damaged, it will return to its original form.” Huang Wanyu said with an encouraging look.

In fact, Feng Xue had already guessed what these two mutations were about. For Gourmet Cell enhancers, bodily mutations were nothing unusual; in the Gourmet Association, it was commonplace for someone to grow two extra hands or even a pair of wings, and there was even one bit player whose body was made up of several thousand bones.

Chen Ziang also sat among them, listening quietly. He had never heard the story the Black man was talking about, so it had to be the first Final Destination film. But although the Black man was explaining it, his expression and tone made it clear that he did not believe a word of it.

Third Master sneered. “You keep bragging every day about how rich you are, but aren’t you still just a broke nobody? If you’ve got no money, why pretend to be some big shot? Hmph!” Wang Longxiang was left speechless, standing there and wheezing for breath.

“Haha, don’t worry. Watch me pull out a newly released divine artifact for you.” Zhu Tian rubbed his hands together and stepped forward, producing a pair of greaves.

Back home, faced with his beautiful wife and beloved family, as well as relatives and friends, his mood was naturally like that of a weary bird returning to its nest.

In a sense, he was not taking pills at all. He was directly extracting and refining the essence, the very marrow, from within them. People always say that every medicine contains three parts poison, but for him, those three parts of poison had long since remained behind on the pills themselves and turned to dust.

It had to be said that this was indeed suspicious. Yun Ling brazenly shifted the blame onto Han Ling, after all he had once served in the special forces and had also entered the police force.

“Lanyan Kingdom is currently under invasion by Dachang Kingdom. You suspect the Min family is involved in this war too, that they are a force of Dachang Kingdom?” Wu Chan asked in surprise.

Fortunately, his ID had been changed to something at least normal. Unfortunately, the result was indeed destined to be nothing but a blank slate.

But he did not want to see them. Let it be called his willfulness, let it be called his being the one who ran off first. He did not want to ask, and he no longer wanted to know the truth.

“But, Vampire, I don’t think I can beat you, can I? The last time the two of us fought, we nearly died together.” Tie Niu said with lingering fear.
