Chapter 50: Xia Hongsheng's Philosophy of Life

Moreover, a body refined from the divine blood within a twelve-god-level divine body was even more powerful than that of a second-rate god. The black-haired Saga of the present could completely dominate every powerhouse of the Eighth Sense; even those of the Ninth Sense would not dare to disregard him.

Especially in wartime, although diamonds did not exactly lose their value dramatically, they were certainly not easy to obtain.

Seeing that her killing intent had shaken her opponent’s composure, Esdeath’s aura rose to its absolute peak. The two streams of true qi within her surged like mighty rivers before converging in both hands. With a turn of her body, she struck the blade with one palm. In an instant, visible frost spread across the edge, lingering there for a long while.

From the sounds they heard, Cao Yu and the others concluded that Xu Zhe seemed to have been using a saber to attack the entire time.

Liang Dong had not remelted the entire sword. Instead, he placed roughly four-fifths of it—the portion that included the hilt—into the Solar True Flame.

“Senior, let us talk this over. Please, let us talk this over.” Jia Erfei looked deeply uneasy. Several corpses were already lying before him.

“Then do you have feelings for them?” Pandora was gentle and composed, but she truly had no experience with such matters. In truth, they had asked the wrong person. Had they approached someone else—Bulma or Hera, for instance—it would have posed no difficulty at all.

The people brought by Bangtou stood with trembling legs and shaking hands, glancing at one another helplessly. They had never received such “courteous treatment” at the medical university before. Today was their first time.

Listening to Rong’er, Leng Yu peered through the narrow crack in the door at the Crown Princess, who sat dazed before the dressing table. She had probably sent everyone else away. Was her heart now gripped by extreme panic?

The thin, bony horse struggled laboriously up the steep slope, watching unwillingly as Li Ning’s figure gradually disappeared into the distance. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Li Ning had left the emaciated horse far behind.

Rong’er, who had been waiting outside, had long since been frightened to her knees by the Tenth Prince’s actions. Mei Mo merely looked disdainfully at the Tenth Prince, who was throwing a tantrum for no reason. What a witless prince—meddling in other people’s affairs and losing his temper recklessly.

Zhao Si’s words instantly brought Wu Rui to her senses. She hurriedly carried her younger sister out on her back. Seeing this, Zhao Si could not stand by, so he called over several strong men to dismantle the wooden bed and help them.

“You mean Pei Junhao is going to build an entertainment complex across the way?” Tong Hanpeng asked. He had spent every day anxiously shutting himself away to devise ways of dealing with Pei Junhao, completely unaware of what was happening outside. Without Luo Ming, he truly would have been blind to the world.

Nikolai fell silent. He knew perfectly well that this was entirely true. The KGB was exceptionally skilled at sacrificing its own comrades. If they chose to sacrifice someone, there was truly nothing anyone could do.

After saying this, he raised his head at just the right moment and cast Mu Zhihan a stern glance. Mu Zhihan came to herself with a start and forced herself to compose her expression before giving Liang Jiaxi a faint smile. “Jiaxi, I still have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first. Please enjoy yourselves.” She then offered a slight apology to Liang Manru and Pei Junhao.

According to Lirad, their agreement had been founded on the destruction of the Abelnat family. Fiona would tamper with the medicines on which the Abelnats depended for their survival, then work together with Lirad from within and without, intending to annihilate the entire family in one stroke.

Arthur knew that Chu Binxuan was Mu Zhihan’s godbrother. Since he had come looking for her, Arthur could only make an excuse to leave and allow the siblings to catch up. He could only pray that Chu Binxuan would respect Mu Zhihan’s wishes and not reveal her whereabouts to Pei Junhao. As long as enough time passed for Mu Zhihan to accept his feelings, everything would fall naturally into place.

She did not want An Ran to misunderstand and think that she had come forward to acknowledge her for some ulterior motive. Hu Zhen understood the need for discretion. Given An Ran’s current position, with her influence rising like the sun at noon, countless people would surely approach her with all kinds of intentions. Hu Zhen therefore wished to avoid any suspicion. She had appeared only because of the friendship they had once shared.

Thus, apart from Cheng Bozhi, the affection of any other man was nothing but an unnecessary nuisance. If it could be avoided, she would avoid it; if there was no way around it, she would simply refuse him openly.

The spirit cat before her was of unknown true name. Like herself, she had been an assassin in the Void King organization, but she had unfortunately died during another mission.

Of the three events Zhou Jin had entered, the men’s 200-meter sprint and long jump were both scheduled for this afternoon. The men’s 5,000-meter race would take place later, beginning tomorrow morning.

The several bamboo roots that had originally been attacking the foreigner in the black mask now all turned and rushed back in the direction from which they had come. The sight left Long Shaofeng somewhat astonished.

Lin Xiuqing merely felt that he and Xi Zhui’er were mutually fond of each other, and saw nothing wrong with that. But Cang Qianyuan was the emperor. Even a fool would know that Lin Xiuqing could not afford to offend him, so she was at a loss for what to do.

“Of course, you can also refuse to honor the agreement. In that case, we will no longer abide by any of our promises, either. Your strength may be formidable, but even an elephant will one day be devoured by ants. We may not be able to defeat you head-on, but we have numbers. I refuse to believe that we cannot find your weakness.” Meng Xiaoyang’s expression was solemn.
